He failed her.

(JARED'S POV)

I slowly opened my eyes, and found myself lying on my back. As I looked around, I realized I was lying on the bed, in the bedroom. But something felt off. I tried to sit up, but a sharp headache hit me, and I winced. Still, I defied the pain and sat up, rubbing my temples. Where was Arielle? And what time was it? A glance at the wall clock and I gasped, 9 am. Why was I still at home and not at work? Why didn't Arielle wake me up for work?

Additionally, I felt weird. My mouth tasted bitter, and I felt tired despite just waking up. I tried to think, but my head ached more with each passing moment.

What the hell happened?

Just then, the door swung open, and Sofia walked in, carrying a tray. She flashed me a bright smile. "Good morning, sleepy head."

I forced a smile, still confused." Good morning. What's going on?" I asked. "Why are you bringing me food in my room? Where's Arielle?"

Sofia's smile faltered. "Don't you remember?"

"Remember what?" I asked, my frustration growing.

"Don't you remember Yesterday?"

I shook my head, confused the more. "I don't remember a thing. What happened?"

"We were -" she started to say, but I suddenly felt a sharp jab in my head, and I grabbed it in pain. Groaning, I felt the memories hit me.

I remembered returning home from work to get an Important file I forgot. And while searching for it, Sofia came into the bedroom and began talking about divorcing Arielle. I tried to brush her off as I was more concerned about the file, but she offered me a drink. I was feeling quite thirsty having driven home in a haste, and so I accepted the drink.

Everything after that was hazy until...
