Finding out

Jasmine's pov

The sound of my hand smacking his cheek still echoed in my mind. I couldn't believe i had hit him. Liam's eyes widened in shock and i trembled in fear.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you," I apologized sincerely, tears in my eyes.

"What is wrong with you?" He asked, anger evident in his voice.

"I should be asking you that," I replied, my voice firm. He walked closer to me and we locked gazes.

"Who is that guy, Jasmine?" He demanded in a low voice, his face darkened.

"He is my friend," I muttered and he chuckled. "Your friend? And you guys were touching each other like that," he said between gritted teeth.

"You have no right to be jealous, Liam. We have nothing between us," I pointed out.

"I am your husband, Jasmine! You don't get to bring another man into my house!" He yelled angrily.

"You are not my husband! A real husband loves and care for his wife. All you do is hurt me," I shot back at him.

Guilt was written all over his face. Tears were pouring out of mine as i held his hand.

"There are bite marks all over you, Liam. You came back with a lipstick stain on your shirt. You went ahead to sleep with another woman after promising to make me happy. And you stand there and accuse me of cheating. You are sick," I spat at him.

"That's not true. Don't say what you do not know," he said and I laughed bitterly. "I'm fucking done with you, Liam," I hissed.

"Jasmine, I'm sorry for accusing you. I'm only trying to protect you," he said and i scoffed.

"Who did you have sex with?" I asked him and didn't answer. "Liam!" I yelled feeling like i was going crazy.

"I had sex with Rachel by mistake. I didn't mean to do it," he confessed and I couldn't believe my ears.

"Rachel? Your ex fiancee?" I asked for clarification and he nodded slowly. My legs weakened and my heart hammered against my chest.

"I'm sorry," he said remorsefully and I shook my head. "I can't believe this," I muttered in a shaky voice.

"Your fiancee is back now. I want us to get a divorce," I decided and he gasped. "She is not coming back to me. We can't get a divorce, Jasmine," he protested.

"You love her enough to sleep with her after all she has done to you. I don't want to be the one holding you back. Call your lawyer to prepare the divorce papers," I said and left him standing.

I ran upstairs, grabbed few of my clothes and packed them into my bag. I was so done with Liam and his maltreatments.

"Jasmine, where are you going?" He asked as he entered into the room. "I'm leaving your house and your life for good," I replied.

"You can't leave me, Jasmine. I'm sorry about everything. I know I have been nothing but a fool and i promise to make amends," he pleaded.

"You said the same thing yesterday," I muttered and took a step to leave the room. He pulled me back forcefully.

"Stay with me, please," he whispered with tears in his eyes. "I'm not staying," I refused and he sighed. "What if i tell you how much i love you?" He asked.

"Stop with this act!" I yelled and freed myself from him. I hurried out of his house and drove to my brother's house.

It was the perfect time for me to give him space. He doesn't love me no matter how hard I try.

The most painful part was that he had sex with Rachel, the one who betrayed him.

"Jasmine, what are you doing here by this time of the night?" Alex asked as I entered into his house.

"Liam and I had a fight so i left. Can I stay here for some days?" I requested and he nodded.

"You look so stressed, what happened between you two?" He questioned. I was ashamed to tell him what happened.

"You can talk to me sis, i'm here to listen and i won't judge you," he assured me with a gentle smile on his face.

"He cheated," I said and Alex frowned. "When did that happen? Who did he cheat on you with?" He asked.

"It happened today, he confessed to having sex with Rachel," I muttered, his eyes widened and his hands balled into a fists.

"They had sex? Are you sure about this?" He asked for confirmation and i nodded.

"I'm sorry about that, sis. I will go see Liam and talk to him," he said, giving me a warm hug.

I enjoyed the warmth of my brother while we hugged. I really needed some affection because I was mentally tired and stressed.

"Go take your bath, eat and relax. I will be back soon," he said as he grabbed his car keys and i nodded.

I sighed as i watched him leave the house. My mind filled with different thoughts about the situation at hand.

The sound of the door pulled me out of my thoughts and i saw Samantha. I was surprised to see her here after everything Alex had done to her.

"Hi, what are you doing here?" I asked politely and she gave me a weak smile. " Alex called me to come stay with you," she replied.

"He told me about what happened. I'm so sorry, how do you feel now?" She asked. "I feel hurt and unwanted, Sam. He went back to the same person that left him," I said.

"I understand your pain. This person you are talking about is the problem we both have, Jasmine," she whispered and I raised a curious brow.

"What do you mean by that? Do you even know this person?" I questioned and she nodded. She looked so serious about this, my heart raced.

"Her name is Rachel," she said. "Alex is having an affair with her as well," she added and I felt like I had been hit with a tons of bricks.
