Countdown to My Divorce

Her Exit 348

The more Samantha spoke, the more her voice choked with emotion. She sat on the couch and quietly sobbed.

William felt incredibly irritated. The same sense of dread he’d experienced five years ago was now surging back like a flood. He rubbed his temples and placed a hand on Samantha’s shoulders he tried to soothe her.

“Don’t take what people online say too seriously. If you hadn’t left back then, the two of us would’ve been together long ago. There wouldn’t even be talk of you interfering in anyone’s relationship.”

“What would I blame you for? Don’t worry. I’ll have Arsen look inte it and find out what’s going on. You stay home. Don’t go anywhere these next few days.”

“But I’m in charge of that company project. We’re at a critical stage I can’t just not show up-” Samantha broke off.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was off. She suddenly grabbed William’s arm.

“William, what if that really was Rachel we saw at the hospital? What if she’s the one behind all of this?”
