"I'll do anything if you can forgive me. We've been married a year. You know what kind of man I am. I'm not the type to be unfaithful.
"Chloe's your best friend. Even if you don't believe me, you should trust her, right?"
Ariella wasn't listening to anything now that her husband and best friend had gotten together.
"It's because I trusted you both too much that I gave you the chance to hurt me."
She gave me an ultimatum. "Are you leaving or not? If you don't, I'll throw you out myself."
I could understand that she couldn't accept something like this right now.
If it were me, I wouldn't be able to just let it go either.
Helpless, I packed my things and went to stay at a nearby hotel.
After that, I called Ariella numerous times, but she didn't pick up.
She didn't reply to my messages either.
I was anxious and didn't know what to do, constantly distracted at work.
I regretted drinking too much that day more than anything.
If I hadn't gotten drunk, none of this would've happened.
Besides, no matter how much I tried to recall, I didn't think I had touched Chloe.
I was desperately trying to figure out a way to fix things.
But Ariella had already made up her mind to divorce me.
