Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

ht?”

Lena looked surprised, as if she hadn’t expected Sabrina to notice.

Sabrina’s lips curled into a knowing smile. “It’s written all over your face. You two have

barely spoken a word all afternoon.”

Lena pursed her lips and shook her head in silence.

Lena was unwilling to divulge details, so Sabrina didn’t push the issue, sensing she wasn’t

ready to talk.

But after a short time, Lena’s face scrunched up in concern as she turned to Sabrina and

asked, “How did you feel when you found out about Tyrone’s affair?”

Sabrina was surprised, wondering if Larry had an affair.

She thought back to the day she discovered Tyrone’s infidelity and felt a wave of emotions

wash over her. Though it had happened half a year ago, it seemed like a lifetime had

passed.

“I felt… desperate, I guess. I found out that I was pregnant the day before Tyrone was to

come back from his business trip. I was so excited to share the news with him. But then I

found out about the affair.”

Sabrina trailed off, lost in thought, as she relived the pain and heartbreak of that moment.

But then she shook her head and forced a smile. “But that’s all in the past now. Lena,

what’s important is that you figure out what you want. Do you think Larry wants to work

things out?”

At that time, Sabrina was still holding on to the hope that Tyrone would have a change of

heart. Unfortunately, this led her to waste time waiting for him, which only caused her

more pain and heartache.

It would have been better if she had given up on time.

Sabrina wondered what might have been if she had divorced Tyrone earlier. Perhaps she

wouldn’t have lost her precious baby, or Cesar wouldn’t have passed away so suddenly.

The weight of regret hung heavy on her shoulders.

Lena managed a bitter smile, her eyes reflecting her confusion. “I don’t know…”

She had already had a thorn in her heart. She couldn’t continue to live with Larry as if

nothing had happened.

Contemplating divorce meant that Frankie would remain a part of the Blakely family, but it

also meant that Lena would have to face the heartbreaking prospect of leaving her child.

“I don’t know what I want,” she mumbled, lost in thought. “Last month, I heard a woman’s

voice coming from his phone. He moved away from me while answering the call, which

was unusual since he had never done that before. I became suspicious and started

keeping a closer eye on him. Eventually, I discovered clear signs of infidelity, including the

scent of another woman’s perfume on his clothes, her hair, and scratches on his chest and

neck.

When I confronted him about it, he claimed there wasn’t anything going on between him

and the woman. I asked him to identify who the woman was, but he refused to tell me. Did

he think I was a fool to believe him?”

Despite her lingering feelings for Larry, Lena knew she couldn’t ignore the signs of

infidelity. However, she found it difficult to move on from the situation and struggled to

accept his betrayal.

Lena had to decide for herself what she was going to do. All Sabrina could do was sigh

with mixed feelings.

Sabrina and Lena sat alone at the table, the silence between them palpable.

Glancing over at the card table, Sabrina asked in a casual tone, “Lena, did you and Larry

fight?”

Lena looked surprised, as if she hadn’t expected Sabrina to notice.

Sabrina’s lips curled into a knowing smile. “It’s written all over your face. You two have

barely spoken a word all afternoon.”

Lena pursed her lips and shook her head in silence.
