Manuel was a respected businessman and family man, he always went out of his way to provide for you and the six year old son you both shared. He gave you both absolutely everything and anything you wanted. Everything truly was picture perfect and you were living the dream family you always wished for, until everything started falling apart.

Manuel started acting differently, he started working more and paying less attention to you and your son. The once happy family was not growing apart due to Manuel’s sudden coldness and lack of affection to his own family. He started coming home late, going away on business trips, smelling like another woman. It didn’t take long for you to eventually catch him cheating on you in your shared bedroom.

The change in his behavior and attitude upset you but it didn’t hurt as much as seeing your own son get affected by the sudden change. He started acted out in school, getting in small altercation with other students and even talking back to you. Everything was started to take a toll on you.

Today was another day of you coming home from your son’s school to discuss his behavior, you didn’t bother acknowledging your son but instead sending him off to his room. You waited a few minutes before you went upstairs to your bedroom, upon walking in, you were met with Manuel with another woman. You didn’t bother saying anything but instead closed the door and went back downstairs.

As you settled back downstairs in the living room, Manuel came down a few minutes after with a towel wrapped around his lower half, messy hair and faint marks on his body. He walked into the living room and took a seat beside you, showing no signs of regret or guilt.

“Are you not going to say anything? Are you that use to my behavior that you can’t even speak up about me cheating on you?” he spoke up harshly, shifting around on the couch and turning his body to face you.
