Chapter 12

After that night of passion Chad fell in so deep he just knew it would continue but it didn't. There was always a reason why they couldn't spend anytime together. Mainly because of Whitney. The truth was Whitney was so ready to leave Chad but she didn't want to hurt him. But she knew in her heart that she could no longer stay in this marriage when she knew her heart belonged to Fox. She had to tell him, whether she wanted to or not.. It was the right thing to do. But she should have did it sooner because now her lies were about to catch up with her, leaving her life in danger. Chad wasn't gonna let her go without a fight.

Just when Chad had officially ended his drama with his mistress and her devil of a fiancé. He finally had his relationship with Whitney back to normal, or so he thought at first. It seemed like every time he looked up he was seeing less and less of Whitney. He had always had a feeling that she was cheating, he could feel it in his bones. He just needed proof. So he took it upon himself to have a private investigator follow her. He had always had suspicions that she may have been cheating, and he was right.

"Okay so in doing further investigation I have come to the conclusion that you're wife is having an affair. The evidence is all here."
A slender White male in his mid forties said as he handed Chad a yellow envelope. Chad opened the envelope and slid the pictures out. His facial expression turned angry, as he looked thru the photos of Whitney and Fox together.

"thanks this all I needed to know."

After finding out his wife had cheated on him Chad was enraged. He understood the motive but he didn't care. While he was busting his ass taking care of her and their son, she was out having an affair. He loved her with all his heart. And he was sorry for what he had done in the past year but for some reason he didn't regret it. Even though he loved Whitney, there was another piece of his heart that had Trish there too. He knew he could never have a life with her but there wasn't a day that went by that he didn't think of her and wonder what it would have been like to see his baby boy or girl grow up. That's what hurt him the most. The fact that an innocent little baby was killed because of ignorance and selfishness.

That's why he wanted his marriage with Whitney to work, he couldn't face loosing another love of his life. But he was too late he already had.

Whitney opened the door to her home to see Chad sitting on the couch watching a game.

"Hey baby."
She said as she tried to kiss him on the cheek but he turned his face away. And continued to look at the television screen.

"Fine I didn't want to kiss ya ass anyway."Whitney thought in her head as she shrugged him off without saying a word and headed up the stairs. Chad sucked his teeth and smiled as he watched her walk up the stairs. Whitney walked into the bedroom and saw a yellow envelope sitting on the bed, with her name written on it. She slowly picked up the envelope and opened it. As she slid the pictures out and saw them her mouth hit the floor.

"Oh my God."
She said as tears started to swell in her eyes.

"Damn I just found out that my wife is cheating on me and you're the one crying."

"Chad….I"

"No don't say nothing! I can't believe you, after all I've done for you!"

"Done for me! All you've done is given me pain. I go to Fox because he gives me the one thing you took away."

"And what's that sex."

"No! Love…. Chad you lost me the day you decided to give my love away. Since that day I have never been the same!"

"I thought you forgave me, was that a lie too?"

"I'm sorry but I tried. Believe me I tried so damn hard but can't forgive you, my heart won't let me. My heart belongs to someone else."

"No! No don't you sit there and…."

"Chad just please listen. I care for you deeply. I mean so much. But the reason why I didn't tell you is because I didn't want to hurt you. I mean we've been thru so much together. But I can't do this anymore."

"what do you mean are you saying that you don't want to be with me. Is that it!"

She shed more tears, she couldn't speak. He looked at her with so much anger. All she could do was nod her head yes. He was furious.

"Oh Hell No Whitney! No you ain't doing this! You can't leave me!"

"Look the only reason why I stayed this long is because I felt I had an obligation to Miles. I mean you are a great father and I didn't want to confuse him or make him think that….."

"Oh bull! Don't say you were protecting Miles that is Bull!"

"I would do anything to protect my son!"

"yeah like the way you lied to Fox and me about who his father was!"

"Chad don't do that, that is not fair."

"You're not fair, leaving me like this!"

"Well I'm sorry, I'm going and…."

"you are not leaving me! You are my wife you belong to me!"
He said as he grabbed her arms and looked angrily in her eyes. She shed a tear.

"No I'm sorry"

He let his grip on her arms go. Then it felt like slow motion as she saw his hand raise high and swing coming towards her. She then felt it, a smooth smack across her face. Then she felt another blow to her face this one harder than the first. She screamed as he didn't stop. She saw the anger in his eyes. His face was beat red, and she was terrified. She couldn't stand anymore he had took all the energy from her body. So she fell to the ground. He stood over her looking at her curled up body. She was in pain because of him. Emotionally and now because of his hands physically.

When she heard the door slam shut, she decided to move. Slowly getting up from the floor and walking into the bathroom. When she caught a glimpse of her sunken beaten face, she wept, and screamed.

"Chad! How could you do this to me?"

I'm lookin' in the mirror
At this woman down and out
She's internally dyin'
I know this was not what love's about
Ashanti Rain on me

She continued to cry she cried so hard it made her sick, literally. She sat in the bathroom for two hours. Thinking about everything that had happened. She now had made up her mind. She didn't care if Chad tried to beat her again her mission was to leave and leave him fast. Chad had truly become just what he said he never be and that scared Whitney. Because now she wasn't just fighting for love she was also fighting to save her life. No more blaming herself because of the mistakes he made. She refused to stay with a man that would abuse her and possibly her son too. It was time.

should've left you when you called me out my name
I stooped to your level replied your the same
Now here we are again you at my throat
Now i see the same old change that i did before
I'd walk away from you at the drop of a dime
Cause all of this treatment is way out of line
And that ran through my mind over and over again
I promised myself you wont put your hands on me again
Never no more
Aaliyah Never No More
