My Third Chance

Chapter 1

Here I was in front of my mother in law's apartment. In the car. Right in front of her and all I can think of is how did I get there?

Then it made me remember how I found out that he was cheating.

I was so excited to surprise him. Our anniversary was the next day, but I wanted to give him the surprise a day early. After dropping off the kids at their grandmas I went to our house so I could get ready.

I shaved, shower. I even put some make up on the way that he like it. Felling confident I headed to his office. On the way I called our favorite restaurant to see if they had everything ready. I had called a couple of days before to make a reservation for us. Everything was in order. With a smile on my face, I arrived at the office.

Tony is an assistant manager in this huge company. Must of the people know me in his office cause most of the times I bring him food for lunch. The receptionist in the lobby greets me when I get in.

Taking the elevator, I head towards his office. Once on the elevator stops, I get out and pass his secretary but notice that she's not there.

Maybe lunch break. Which it's so much better for me. I stop in front of his office door and when I'm about to knock I hear aa moan that breaks my heart. I'm thinking that maybe someone else is using his office for that purpose but then I heard him.

"Yes, s**k my d**k like that" then more moans.

I couldn't take it anymore and open the door. What I see makes me want to kill him.

They were so much into what they were doing that didn't notice me or even the door opening. Taking this opportunity and record them. My heart is breaking by just looking at them, but I really need to do this.

'I'm going to get a divorce and he's not going to do anything about it.' This is the proof that will get me the divorce without any inconvenience.

After thinking that I have enough proof, I clear my throat. Both of them look towards me with wide eyes.

"Happy anniversary dear husband."

I'm surprise that my voice didn't give away how heartbroken I was. He tried to put his pants up and tried to hide the blond woman that was with him. It didn't work though. I could still see her.

I'm not going to lie; the woman was beautiful. Still, that was no excuse to cheat on me. Neither one of them said anything.

Taking matters in my own hands I was the one that talked.

"How long?"

Both of them looked at each other. Tony lowered his head. With that I knew already that it was a long time. It got me angrier that he wouldn't talk.

"I asked you a question and I'm waiting for my answer."

"Over a year." he said so low that if I weren't paying attention, I would have miss it.

"WHAT THE F **K. Over a f**king year? When were you going to tell me? When were you going to end it?" to say I was furious was an understatement. I was hurt and disappointed.

"WHY?"

With that I saw his chest puffing like a freaking chicken. No offence to the chickens.

"You were always taking care of the kids. The only time we had together was during the night and I really got tired of it."

I couldn't help it and slap him with all I had. I think the woman got scared because the next thing, I hear her mumbling that she's going to leave. I stopped her with my hand up.

"No, you don't need to leave. What I have to say you can be here. It's the least you could do after screwing my husband." I turned to my soon to be ex-husband.

"Yes, I'm not going to lie and say that I didn't spend the day with the kids after they got out of school. In fact, I did spend it with them. I fed them. Bathe them. And help them with the school's assignments. So yes, the only time I got to spend with you was during the night because you get home after I put the kids to bed. And even when I'm exhausted from a long day, I still heat up your food and try to spend time with you. That's the only time that you have for me, and I never complain because even if it was that little bit of time, I wanted to spend it with you. So yeah, I'm so awful that you can't see that because everything is about you. You don't even ask me how my day was."

With that I turn to the mistress.

"Good luck with that."

I turn to leave and over my shoulder I tell both of them.

"Just so you know, wherever he takes his clothes off that's where he leaves them so you to pick them up. And he expects you to have the house clean when he gets out of work. And don't forget to warm up his food. OH, and Tony? Wait to hear from my lawyer. I want the divorce as soon as possible."

With that I was out. With a smile on my face. At least that's what I was showing everybody. Even HIM. Because no one is going to see me down. They bow down to me, not ME to them.

Everything felt like a dream.

'All that we went through, and this is how he repays me.' I scoff.

We really never get to meet a person completely. I thought that he would never do something like that to me. And look how I ended up. I called Milly, my mother in law to let her know that I was going to go and pick up the kids soon.

I really didn't want to face her just yet. Sitting in my car I'm trying to calm myself down. Taking deep breaths. In and out.

When I feel like I'm calm enough I opened the door of the car and got out. Walking to Milly's apartment I kept on repeating in my mind that I could do it.

With that in mind and taking a deep breath I nock on her door.
