LADESSA.

"Why Desiree?" Kael asked him right away.

He didn't even greet him.

"Finally, you asked! Now, make sure you don't fucking drop the phone on me while I'm trying to explain." Rasmus was talking too fast.

I understood him because whenever he called and attempted to speak Kael, Kael would hang up without hearing the rest of his speech. "Talk! I'm listening." Kael said.

"I don't know any Desiree! That woman I fucked was named Savannah. That was the name she gave me, and it was too fucking far from Desiree!"

"Why should I believe you?" Kael asked, and I tried to gauge his reaction if hearing Desiree fuck another man would elicit a foul reaction from him like he used to whenever this topic came between us at the early part of our marriage. But he was acting nonchalantly and

"For fuck's sake, Kael, you should know better that I would never take any woman that had gone to bed with. I would never take any leftovers for my ego and for my sanity! If I knew she was the Desiree you were head over heels in love with..." His words were cut short because I couldn't stop myself from coughing. I felt like choking.

The word "leftover" didn't sit right with me. Desiree and I might not be on good terms, but I think I had to teach Rasmus a lesson not to describe women that way.

"Who's that?" Rasmus asked.

A smile tugged at Kael's mouth before he replied. "My wife."

"Oh shit! Hi, Adessa. I apologize for my words. I didn't mean to say he was head over heels with her. I was just exaggerating." He explained in one breath, then he paused for a while before continuing while my eyes just got rounder listening to him. "Fuck, Kael! You should have told me your wife is with you! I don't have plans to mess up your marriage!"

Kael motioned with his hand and mouthed that Rasmus didn't know we were separated, and I just nodded my head.

"Wait, you found her."

"Yes."
