When Love Breaks by Jack

Bryant gave me a dark look, hoping I’d step back from the edge.

I couldn’t help but smile, taking the lead with firm resolve. “She’s telling the

truth. She’ll be gone by tomorrow night at the latest.”

“I won’t listen to you…” Teresa ignored my words, her eyes locked on Bryant,

looking like she could barely handle the truth. “Bry, tell me. Is it true?”

Perhaps my gaze was too intense, but despite his discomfort, Bryant’s voice

was calm and steady as he spoke. “Yes, it’s true.”

“Mom, did you hear that?” Margaret was on the verge of tears. “Bry promised

you he’d look out for me, but now, he’s turning his back on us to side with an

outsider.”

Bryant’s expression turned cold. “Jane is my wife, not an outsider!”

“You’re divorced!” Margaret’s face was streaked with tears, her words

emphatic, as if she was the one who had been wronged.

Bryant frowned, displeased. “Until the divorce papers are signed, Jane

remains my wife.”
