*Ben*
Amelie comes into my office and I look up. She looks so serious. "Hi there chérie. You look so serious, is something wrong".

"I have been thinking Ben". She says, and I know something is wrong. "I know it isn't your fault, but this is a big mess and I don't want René dragged into all this".

I suddenly feel my heart sink. I knew Mera being back and her reveal would be trouble, but I hadn't seen this coming. "Are.. are you breaking up with me ?"

"No Ben". She bites her lip. "But I think we should take a break until you got everything with Mera resolved. I don't want to be 'the other woman' no matter the reason".

"I hate this chérie, but I understand you". I get up and go to hug her. "I love you and I am going to get this fixed as soon as possible".

"Thank you Ben, for understanding. And I hope you can fix it real fast. I will miss you so much". She kiss me, just one chaste kiss. "I love you too".

I watch her leave my office, and all doubt is gone. I need Mera gone and out of my life as fast as possible. Amelie is the only woman I care for.

I call my lawyer for a meeting, and after school I will go get the papers ready. Luckily it shouldn't take long as we hadn't lived together or had any kind of relationship for a year. I need this over soon. I do get Amelie, she has to put René first. But that doesn't mean I like it.

To be honest I fucking hate it. I wouldn't let her see my pain, but now alone I lay my head down on my arms, letting the tears flow. What had I done to deserve this ? First my wife having been unfaithful to me our entire marriage, and with my friend. And now I finally thought I found love, the real deal and she leaves me because of my ex.

Yup I am bawling like a kid, wondering if I am ever allowed to just be happy ? No I need to get this done. So I dry my eyes and pack my things, going to my lawyer to get the papers. And then drive directly to Mera's hotel.

—————————————————————————————————————

"Oh so you did decide to come back to me". She purrs as she opens the door, seeing me standing outside her door.

I push past her, pressing the papers into her hands. "Oh no, we are done Mera. I am here to make you sign this papers, admitting that we have had no relationship for a year and the divorce should be final in about a week then".

"But I want you back Ben". She looks at me, her eyes wet with tears but I know it is just an act. "I want us to be a family. I love you".

"The hell you do". I hiss at her. "You never did. Tom told me everything, how you kept Zac on the side the whole time and how you choose money over me and over Zac for that matter. You need to sign these papers and then leave".

She glares at me, dropping the act. "And what if I don't want to leave ? What if I want Zac back then. You know I can get him if I want to".
"I really hope he is smarter than that". No matter how angry I am with Zac I don't wish that for him. "Stay away from Zac, he has finally found someone worth his time, do not ruin that".
She just giggles, grabbing a pen, signing the papers and throwing them in my face. "None of your business Ben, you are no longer my husband".

—————————————————————————————————————

It is the next day and lessons has just ended. I go to the music department to find Zac. I feel I need to warn him, knowing very well that Mera is going to go for him now. But as I reach the door I hear Mera's voice. Fuck she beat me to it. I crack open the door. I hope Zac can handle this himself. He needs too.

"Come on Zac, I know you want me back". I peak in, he is sitting down, she is standing in front of him and he almost looks scared. "You always do, you belong to me and we both know that".

"Mera please leave me alone". He is pulling away from her, and I can't help thinking that he should be more hard with her, tell her to fuck off. But he looks petrified now. "I.. I love Harmony and she loves me".

"No one could ever love you, you are a pathetic wuss". She hisses at him and I see ham literally shrink. "But you are a pretty good lay and I want you back".

She run a hand around his neck and grab his hair. His voice a shaking whisper, as he pulls her hand away. "Please don't touch me, I don't want to".

I gasp when she slaps him so hard his head snaps to the side, an angry red mark blooming on his cheek. "Do not test me Zac". Holy shit she hit him and his reaction tell me that this is far from the first time. Now I get why she had that kind of hold on him and I actually feel bad about what I said to him.

He is shaking, tears streaming down his face, as he looks like he tries to shrink to nothing. "Please Mera, just leave me alone".

"You are going to shut up and do as you are told". She leans in close to him and he pulls away. "You are going to come to my hotel room tonight and you are going to satisfy me in every way I want you to".

When he shakes his head looking panicked, she raises her hand to slap him again and I am just about to burst in the door. I can't watch this anymore. But someone comes charging through the other door beating me to it.

"If you touch him you bitch I will fucking end you". Harmony gets right into Mera's face, she is shaking with rage and her fists are cleansed. One wrong word and she is going to punch Mera's lights out. I chuckle at the idea and walk in. Actually hoping Mera will give her an excuse to punch her.

Mera is staring at Harmony. "And who are you ? Oh you must be the one he thinks love him. Isn't this cute, coming to his rescue like this".

"I actually feel sorry for you. You must be seriously sick somewhere in the head. You had not just one but two handsome and amazing guys who loved you, but you still treated them like shit and now you have lost them both". Harmony says with a sad little smile.

Mera shakes her head laughing. "Oh you are so naive. Zac belongs to me, he always has. You might think he loves you, but I am not done with him and he will come back to me. He always does".

I step up grabbing Mera's arm hard. "I think you need to leave right now Mera, because you are getting mighty close to getting your ass kicked. And I for one is not going to stop her".

"Like I am scared of that hippie". She spits. "Zac will come back to me, that pussy don't dare telling me no". She turns toward Zac to say something at the same moment Harmony's fist connect with her nose and I almost laugh.

Mera screams and cradles her nose while I pull her outside. "She hit me, the bitch hit me. I am so going to press charges".

I push her out the door. "Try, I saw no one hit you. I saw you walk into a door".

*Harmony*
Okay I am normally not a violent person, but by God it had felt good hitting that bitch. No one talks about Zac like that in front of me.

I sit down next to Zac, pulling him into my arms. It hurts seeing him like this, it is like he is shrinking away. He is shaking slightly. And he clings to me like a scared child.
"It's okay Zac". I whisper into his hair. "She is gone, Ben pulled her out of here. You can relax my love. She is gone for now".

He is fighting tears as he looks at me. "For now yeah, but she isn't giving up. She will try again. And she is right. I am nothing, what do you want with a wuss like me ?" His hand going to the red mark on his cheek, no doubt she hit him before I got there.

"Zac look at me". When he shakes his head in refusal I gently grab his chin lifting his head to look me in the eyes. "You are none of those things she said Zac. You are kind, sweet, caring, passionate, beautiful and amazing".

He bites his lip, his eyes so full of pain. He snuggles his face into my neck, mumbling against my skin. "You are the best thing that ever happened to me, without you I would be lost. What did I do to deserve you".

"You are you Zac, that is more than enough. I love you". I rub his back gently and kissing his temple.

I hear him swallowing hard before he whispers. "I love you too".

Ben walks back into the room. "She is gone for now, but I am not sure that she is going to stay away, so we better watch out for her".

I nod, I won't let her hurt Zac again. Ben walks over. Squatting down next to Zac. "I am sorry for what I said Zac. I didn't know what she was doing to you".

"It's okay Ben". Zac says with a small smile. "I understand how it must have seen and felt to you. Tom really did the best thing for everyone when he paid her to leave. Too bad she didn't stay away".
