When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 38



Vinson dropped his apartment address, and I punched it into my GPS.

The ride was in silence except for the voice of the navigation. Neither of us spoke a word.

It was too embarrassing, and I didn't even know how to bring it up.

When we pulled up to his apartment building, he finally turned to look at me. "Melanie, what's going on between you and Clyde? I've been abroad these past few years. All I knew was that you two got hitched."

I stared back at him, at a loss for words.

What could I say? Could I tell him Clyde has been bringing home one woman after another for the past three years? And I'd had a cancer relapse and didn't know how much time I had left.

Ultimately, I shook my head. "Forget it, Vinson. I'm getting a divorce anyway. We might as well not talk about it."

I felt that way. Divorce was inevitable, and my time was precious. I didn't want to waste it on Clyde.

Vinson looked at me for a moment before pulling out his phone. "Fine, let's swap contacts. Send me your number."
