I finally got myself off the floor and made my way home. I kept telling myself it was going to be ok, that not pushing things with Emma was the right thing to do. Not only because I have a husband but because of Henry, I couldn't drag Emma into something that could ultimately crumble and hurt Henry.

I've only met him a couple of times and I'm already head over heals for him. I just couldn't do that. They both deserved someone to be loyal to both of them. I couldn't be that for them as I'm already loyal to someone else.

As I walked into my home I took off my heals and dropped my bag to the floor, I was home earlier than normal so I walked to the kitchen to get a drink. I opened the fridge and immediately look out a bottle of wine.

I sat at the island and quickly let the cold wine fall down the back of my throat, I closed my eyes and rested my head in one hand and circled my other finger around the top of my glass. I needed to pull myself around and get ready for tonight. I needed to make my marriage work.

I jumped when I heard a thud come from upstairs, Robin isn't suppose to be home for another hour yet. I stood up and walked towards the stairs, grabbing an umbrella as a weapon. I thought about calling the cops when I heard a second thud but I was already half way up the stairs. I stopped and thought what the hell was I doing. If there was an intruder what on Earth was I suppose to do?

I started backing up and walking backwards down the stairs when I heard familiar voices, or what could be close to voices. My anger Rose immediately and I starting storming up the stairs.

Those nosies were all too familiar.

I opened the door slowly, the bastard didn't even notice I opened the door. Marian, our neighbour had her head flung back moaning Robins name, she hit her hand on the back of the bed. Now I knew what the thud was. For some reason I couldn't take my eyes off them. It wasn't out of anything but utter shock and humiliation, I took my phone out of my pocket and took a photo, god knows why but I felt the need to have this as evidence.

After a minute Marian lifted her head and looked at me straight in the eyes. Her eyes widened with shock then she started pushing Robin away, but Robin obviously thought it was some sort of sexual act and started fucking her harder. I don't know what was worse, him doing that or the sudden realisation that Marian was begging him to get off. "R-robin, fuck, R-rearghhh"

Did that bitch just cum?

I turned around and slammed the door. I started to walk down the stairs when I heard Robin run out of the bedroom. I heard him shouting for me stay, I heard him saying its not what it looked like.

I switched off, I felt nothing, I heard nothing past that point. I walked back into the kitchen, drank the rest of my wine in one go.

I went back to the front door put my heals back on, picked my bag up and opened the door. Before I left I turned around to face the red faced man.

"The next time you hear anything from me will be from my lawyer" and with that I walked out the home I shared with my husband. It was tainted I don't know if I could ever go back there. I heard his voice shouting, begging for me to stay and to come back as I drove down the estate but I truly did not care at this point.

I shed no tears, I was numb and surprisingly relieved.

"He did what" Katharyn more or less screamed at me

"Yup"

"So he just told you it wasn't what it looked like" she was pacing the floor now

"Yup"

"Oh as if seeing your husbands dick buried in another women's vagina, means 'it's not what it looks like" she walked to her cupboard in her kitchen grabbed two glasses and pouring us some whiskeys "what a fucking bellend"

I sighed against the realisation of it all "yup"

"Why are you so calm" she sat next to me handing me a drink

"I honestly don't know" I answered honestly

"But you're not even crying, you don't seem mad or upset" I drank the whiskey in one and placed the glass back down

"Oh believe me Katharyn, I am mad and upset, I'm mad at myself for wasting so many years with that cheating arsehole and I'm upset because I have been so miserable for so long and I was not letting myself be happy because I was loyal to him" she filled my glass again which I shot back immediately

"What do you mean, not letting yourself be happy" she drank hers and refilled them again.

This time I just took a sip "it doesn't matter now, what matters is that I need to get to my Lawyers first thing on Monday morning with my evidence and file for a divorce"

Katharyn started laughing covering her mouth "sorry sorry" she tried to control her laughing "oh my god I'm sorry Regina, I'm not laughing at you" then she barked out laughing even more

"Can I ask what is so bloody funny?" I snapped

She tried to control her breathing as much as possibly before she spoke again "just-Oh Regina just that I can't believe you thought to take a photo" and she started laughing again

I don't know if it's the alcohol or the utter stupidly of it all but I started giggling along with her, it's wasn't until she actually snorted that I was hysterically laughing. God this women always makes me feel better.

I stayed with Katharyn the rest of the weekend, she went to my house to grab some of my belonging, she mentioned she saw Robin and that he looked like a dead man walking. Not that it made me feel anything at all towards the man. She told him he needed to leave the house by the end of the week otherwise I would call the cops and get him physically removed.

He tried to argue back saying this was his home, but Katharyn reminded him the house belonged to my family and he has no right over it. I made sure of that when we got married, let's say I made him sign a prenup. Best decision of my life

The blonde didn't enter my mind a lot until Sunday afternoon when Katharyn asked if I wanted to go to the gym. My heart suddenly picked up speed thinking about her. I wanted to go and jump into her arms and tell her it's not too late but after what happened on Friday in the office, I made it clear that I choose my marriage over her. God how stupid am I? If I had known Robin was cheating all this time, would I have followed through with my feelings. I don't know, the thought of me and Emma still scared me.

I decided not to go to the gym, I needed some time alone, I also decided not to go into work the next week. Katharyn understood and told me she would let the staff know I was poorly and working from home. She understood not to mention my marriage in office. It wasn't until Monday morning at 11am that I received an email from the blonde

Dear Regina,

Katharyn mentioned you are sick, I hope that's the reason why you weren't at the gym yesterday and not because of Friday. I am truly Sorry if I stepped over any lines (again), I never want to upset or hurt you in anyway.

Anyway Henry was sad not to see you and was asking if you would like to come for hot chocolate again sometime. If it's too weird I understand but why can't we start again and be friends?

Feel better soon Regina

Emma

My heart skipped a beat at the mention of Henry, I felt pain that I'd made the little guy sad. I started to compose an email several times before deciding what I wanted to say back

Miss Swan,

I am fine thank you. Just a bit under the weather.

Do not worry about Friday what is done is done, I am sorry to have upset Henry. However I will not be back in the office for a while and I have a business trip to London next week. So if you could inform him I will like to see him when I return if he is willing to wait.

Thank you for your mail.

R

After I sent the email I continued on with work, I managed to meet with the lawyers in the afternoon where I filed for divorce. I was told it would be an easy case. Robin wouldn't be able to get any of my money or have any claim to my home or business. They would contact him to let him know he needed to leave the house.

When I returned home I noticed I had another email from Emma, every time I saw her name my heart seemed to have skipped a beat and butterflies were going wild in my stomach

Mrs Mills,

I shall inform your little prince and I am sure he will be more than happy to wait to see you, as will I.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need anything from me. Anything at all.

Em

Oh my, my little prince. What do those two have on me. Well if anything it's made me look forward to something. A small smile formed on my lips for the first time in days.
