~Prologue~
Katelyn's POV
Hi, my name is Katelyn. I am a mother of a beautiful child named Karina; she's 4 years old now. She has long brown hair like her father's and blue eyes like mine. My husband's name is Jeffory. He and I have been together since high school and we love each other so much. Although, something about me keeps bothering me. Ever since Karina was born, he's been going home late at night. At first, I thought it was just some late night work but as the years passed, he's been going home much later than usual. Sure he's still with us in the day but all of a sudden, he never really comes home at night as early as he always did.
I was coming home back from work. As soon as I unlocked the door, I was greeted by my daughter sleeping on the couch as the TV was still on.
She must've got tired from watching TV.
I closed the door behind me and walked over to my sleeping daughter. I picked her up and carried in my arms as I walked upstairs to her room.
Once I was on the second floor, Karina started to wake up.
"Mommy?" She tiredly said as she rubbed her eye.
"Hi there sweetie. You slept while watching TV."
"Oh, is daddy here?"
"Sorry sweetie, I don't think daddy is here yet."
"Aww, but why does daddy always come home late?"
"I'm not sure, but I do know that there must be a reasonable explanation to that." I smiled at her.
"Okay.."
I opened her door and placed Karina on her bed. I kissed her forehead and she kissed my cheek.
"Goodnight Karina"
"Goodnight mommy"
After that, she instantly slept and I smiled at her. I got out of her room and closed the door quietly so she wouldn't wake up.
I put on some comfortable clothes and went downstairs and sat on the couch and wait for Jeffory.
~~~
Few hours later...
The room waa very dark. Then, the door was soon unlocked and I heard someone coming and closing tge door. I turned on the lamp beside me. The person then was revealed to be Jeffory. I knew it.
"You're late..again." I said to him with my arms crossed.
"Sorry Katelyn. I didn't mean to make you worry."
"Worry? Jeffory you're always going out so early in the night and come home so late. Karina and I have been worried about you ever since this whole thing started." I stood up.
"I-I'm sorry Katelyn. Its just there's so much work I had to do and-"
"No."
"No?" He raised a brow in confusion.
"I'm not buying this again. This was never because of some late night work. You tell me the truth right now." I glared at him.
He sighed, "I'm sorry Katelyn."
"Sorry? What do you mean?2"
"I didn't want to tell you this but...I was cheating on you." He answered not looking at me.
"What?" I said under my breath as my eyes widened. He cheated on me???
"When did this happen??"
"Ever since I've been going home late. She's also having a child."
"And your the father?"
He slowly nodded.
I couldn't believe it. My own husband, cheating on me for some other girl and now they have a child?! How dare he?!
I was so furious. Why would he do this to me? I thought he loved me?
"How could you do this Jeffory??!!! I thought you loved me yet you found another woman and had a child with her!!" I yelled as tears started falling down my cheeks.
"I-I'm so sorry Katelyn."
We had a little silence until I broke it.
"Out."
"W-What?"
"I said out!!"
"But K-Katelyn.."
"Get out right now!! Go back to your woman and your child!! They need you more than I do."
"B-But.."
"Mommy, daddy? Whats going on?"
We both instantly turned around and saw Karina walking towards me. She was rubbing her eye and I picked her up.
"Why are you guys yelling?"
Jeffory and I looked away from each other amd Karina noticed this.
"Is something wrong?"
"Karina..this might be hard for you to understand but, daddy's gonna have to leave." I said to her.
"W-What? Why?" She gets teary-eyed.
"Cause daddy found a new woman and they're having a child."
Tears started streaming down her cheek and she started to yell out, "Why?! Why did you find another woman daddy??!!!"
"I'm so sorry, Karina. But I still love you and your mother."
"Whats the point of loving us when you chose someone else??!! Mommy's right, you should leave!!"
Jeffory hung his head down and started heading upstairs to pack.
After a few minutes, he came down and went out to the garage. He took one last glance at us and finally took his car and drove off.
Since then, we finally had our divorce and we have never let him visit us ever again. I didn't want to see his face again. I thought he cared and loved us, but he didn't. Karina never wanted to see his father again either and I never bothered to look for another man in my life again.
