A New Roomate

"Believe me, Kyosuke! I was forced to sleep with him I would never do anything to betray you intentionally. He blackmailed me about my father's affairs, I told you all about what my father does, and I swear to you that this baby is yours, I always used condoms with him." Amelia sobbed and buried her face into his chest while clenching his shirt." I love you, Kyosuke."

At first, he hesitated but finally, he wrapped his arms around Amelia. He yearned for her touch for a long time and forgot how pleasant it feels when she was in his arm then he hugged her tightly," I love you too, Amelia."

Kotori picked up the documents up from the floor and straighten the files. From a distance, she watches Kyosuke put his arm around Amelia, and the two embrace so lovingly. The guest began to leave one by one and soon she was standing all alone. Her heart shattered into a million pieces like a broken picture frame as all the memories came falling. It broke her heart and the pain felt so familiar. She could not stand the sight of both Amelia and Kyosuke.

She watched them get in the luxurious vehicle that was meant for her and Kyosuke held an umbrella under her head then when the car drove off water splashed all over Kotor's dress.

She had to call for a taxi driver from a sketchy company since the other chauffeurs were busy.

Wait? Where's my mother?

A new text messages

Mom: Don't wait up for me, I met someone amazing at the party ttyl love ya <3

So typically of her

She sighs.

"…"

She stares at the streetlights until the vehicle stopped in front of the villa. Her heart was racing so face as she touched the door handle and wanted this to be a dream.

When I open this door then I will wake up from this nightmare

She embraced herself for everything besides the truth, a small smile developed on her face when she saw him walk out of the bathroom without a shirt and buckle his pant belt.

" K-Kyo" She raised her hand with it felt like all the pain had been lifted from her chest, but it was just momentarily until she was interrupted.

"Honey, that was amazing." Amelia's voice overpowered, Kotori's. She walked talked out of the bathroom in a long shirt that belong to Kyosuke. Her blond hair was messy and was grinning from ear to ear.

Kotori looked away disappointed.

He paused his footsteps and saw her at the front door trenched from the rain," Oh, Kotori I see that you made it home safely I apologize for not telling you the change of plans sooner… There is also something that I may bring to your attention on such short notice... Let's finalized the divorce."

"…"

She wanted to cry so badly, and her heart was screaming in pain." B-But it hasn't been two years yet"

"If both parties want a divorce the contract cancels I will still compensate you for the inconvenience and the price will remain the same for the divorce settlement, you won't be to come out of a single penny. Once the divorce is finalized then you and your mother must move out, there will be more than enough money in your account to get something decent.

"Honey, have you been faithful to me this whole time?" Amelia questioned and clung her arms around his.

"Of course not! There's nobody in this world as perfect and beautiful as you the moment I met you, Amelia. You capture my heart."

Just rub more salt in the wound, please

"I have work tomorrow, I'm going to clock out early goodnight." She lowered her head while she walked past them then Amelia whispered.

"Thank you for taking care of my man and now we become a family."

Who am I to intervene with that?

The average timeline for divorce to finalize ranges from 60 days to 9 months. Both acquired their stamps and signature and then handed them to the attorney.

"It was fun while it lasted, to us being friends" Kotori held out her hand with a cheerful smile.

"Always." Kyosuke shook her hand then her eyes met up with his one more time.

-

The actor and actress rehearsed their lines on set. They began filming in the next scene, with the main female and male lead.

Kotori whimpered softly and tears down from her cheek. All her emotions spill out and she could no longer mask her feelings. She couldn't memorize her line and went off-script.

In the new drama, Cloaked Heart a woman hides from love and buried her emotions in the depth of her heart. A male nurse took care of her every day when her entire family left her to die, because of the incident that involves the murder of a loved one, and very important people within the company are involved.

This scene is tangled with her childhood and the reoccurring death of her love one. The strong female lead who held her head high and seem invincible was brought down to her knees. She pleaded guilty to the crime to appease those around her. There was a target on her back whenever she went. The only person that knew the truth was the male lead, the security guard that took care of her when the woman in the prison would beat her senselessly.

The director leaned back in his chair with his leg crossed and his chin resting on his hand." Even though, she's not following her lines her acting isn't half-bad today. It actually draws the audience in and connects her feelings with those around her." He thought and was impressed then picked up the megaphone.

And cut!

"That was excellent!" The director said." Whatever you are doing, Mrs. Nakamaru keeps at it."

Break time.

Kotori sat down and put the schedule on the calendar on her phone.

"I should probably get some tampons after I finish up here, my menstrual cycle is in a week."
