My Ex or My Next

Chapter 2

Jack sat down staring at the papers he had just taken from the envelope he received not too long ago. He knew what it was before even opening it. He just didn't believe that things would come to this. He promised Diana that he would never break her heart, but just look at what he did. He not only broke it, but he ripped it to shreds. It wasn't that he didn't love Diana, because he did, but he thought she was too vanilla. He tried to get her to try new things, but she was somewhat conservative. He should have known, because she made him wait until they were married, in order to have s*x with her.

When he hired Brenda a year and a half ago, he had no intention of sleeping with her. It was supposed to be strictly a boss and employee relationship, but Brenda started flirting and dropping hints that she was interested in him, even knowing he was married. Normally, when a woman hears that a man is married, they run the other way, but she didn't. She took every pass that she could get and he was slowly, but surely falling for it.

Jack remembered the first time she made him cheat on Diana. Well, she didn't make him, because no one could make him do anything he didn't want to, but she helped him cheat. He was furious because the meeting he had planned didn't work out the way he wanted it to, because an employee screwed it up. Brenda saw this door open and walked right through it. Brenda went into his office and offered him a massage to loosen up his tense shoulders, which he neither accepted nor refused. She took that as a go ahead and began massaging him. He never, in the year and a half that she had worked with him, let another woman touch his body, so she took that as a sign of him being interested.

She brought her hands down on his chest first, trying to see his reaction. When he didn't say anything, she brought her hands down to his crotch, where she could feel his arousal, and opened his zipper. He was low-key excited, because Diana only gave him a couple of blowj*bs in all the years they were married. When she got up and locked the door, he knew he should have stopped her, but his excitement got the best of him. It started with just that, until it became more. She wanted to have an org*sm too and he gave her one with his fingers. He believed that as long as he didn't stick his manhood inside her, he wasn't cheating.

All that changed when Brenda decided that his fingers weren't enough. She tempted him until he relented and had s*x with her inside his office. She rode him that day and it continued for weeks. Months even. Feelings started to develop between the two. Brenda was spontaneous and that was what he wanted from Diana the entire time they were together. They tried everything he wanted her to try, including an*l s*x, org*es and threes*mes. Brenda didn't care who he was sleeping with, as long as she was one of them. This was the life he always dreamed of.

Looking at the papers in his hands, he contemplated whether he had made the right decision. Diana was the type of woman that everyone approved of. She was humble and elegant at the same time. His parents loved and adored her. They most certainly wouldn't approve of Brenda, mainly because of how their relationship started; with infidelity and lies. They would label her as a homewr*cker, a wh*re. But he made his bed and now he has to lie in it. Since a relationship was what he wanted with Brenda, he was going to try and make it work with her.

He started reading the document and was astonished by some of the clauses. She wanted none of his money, nor his assets. What sane woman wanted nothing from a man who they spent more than five years with and caused them heartbreak? Women would jump at this opportunity to suck a man dry. Because of his infidelity, she would get away with a lot if she really wanted to, especially because she didn't sign a prenup. This meant that she really didn't want anything to do with him. He didn't want to admit it, but it hurt more than he expected it to.

On top of all the problems he already had, Brenda told him that she was late. This would hurt Diana if she found out, because she tried to convince him to start a family with her for years. He kept brushing her off, telling her that they weren't ready to be parents as yet, but he didn't have a choice if Brenda turned out to be pregnant. Diana would think that he deliberately tried to hurt her. She would think of him worse than she already does and he couldn't have that. He would try to settle this as quietly and amicably as possible.

He picked up his pen, but hesitated for a moment. Once his signature was on this, and it was sent back to Diana, it would mean their marriage officially ended. After going through the pros and cons of divorcing Diana one last time, he signed his name on the dotted line. Even if he didn't want to let Diana go, he had to. He had done too much damage to even consider trying to fight for her. He was disappointed in himself for betraying her, because it made him turn into someone that he never wanted to be.

He decided that he would send the signed divorce agreement to her with his assistant. He didn't want Brenda to get a hold of it. He knew the type of person Brenda was and she would gloat and rub it in Diana's face. He couldn't risk anyone finding out that their marriage had ended because he couldn't keep his manhood in his pants. Diana wanted them to tell their parents that they had decided the marriage wouldn't work and that it was both their decisions to get a divorce. Jack prayed to God that he made the right decision.
