Chapter 18
*****Erika's POV*****
"And if I say yes?" She asked and I glared at her.
Gage chuckled at that.
"What's funny?!" She grumbled in annoyance.
"Your tone. Hey, I miss you" He changed the subject.
"I miss you too." Paula's frown changed to a big, sheepish smile.
"When are you returning home?" I heard Gage ask.
"I won't tell you. But you already know I'm here with my friend to comfort her and until she gets better, I'll be with her."
"What happened to her?"
Gage asked and I glared at Paula again.
"She just broke things off with her husband because he cheated and had a baby outside the marriage" Paula skillfully explained and I let out a breath I didn't know
I had been holding.
"Oh that's quite bad. And so you're saying you'll leave me for long?"
His voice sounded a bit sad.

It had happened to me too when I was still married to Alex, I had remained submissive and loyal because I wanted to be by his side. I swallowed the tears and pushed back the pain. I needed to heal and I could not do so if I kept remembering the past.
"No, I'll be back soon" She giggled and assured him.
"You're sure?" He asked again like a love struck fool. I instantly became jealous of them.
Why couldn't mine had been like there's?
"That's cause our mate was a douche bag" Cindy added in my head.
