“You little bitch, you would do anything to protect your lover, isn’t it? What do you not know is it would give me great pleasure to shake the breath out of you lover.” Marc said furiously as he came and grabbed my hand.    I found myself unable to speak in my own defense but then I stood my ground and said, “ So what if you caught me right-handed, even if you cheated on me I saw you lying on our bed with Bella, so now we're even.”“My God, you are really a son of a bitch, aren’t you? Blade's words penetrated my senses and I became aware that Marc’s hand have left me and now his attention was back to Blade. And I knew that Balde was in for a beating.“Blade please just leave us to go now for my sake please.” I found that I was unable to raise my voice for both the men turned towards me.I gulped my saliva nervously.There was a sneer on Marc’s face as he said. “ Yes, I have finished with you for the moment be thankful that I am letting you go.” He turned away from Blade his eyes coming to rest once again on me and said, “So now I give you all my attention to you my lovely wife I seem to remember that you have enjoyed my attentions in the past is that not so?” His words were spoken in a voice full of bitter mockery. I was unable to resist attempting to protest my inner sense once more.I defended myself by saying, “Please listen to me I did not encourage Blade, you must believe me.” My voice was shaking and he gave a sneering laugh. “ No Carmen you are positively discouraging him when you heard me come to the door this I know since I saw you struggle for yourself.” He said mockingly one hand tracing the delicate outline of my face. “I've been looking for you running around everywhere since morning but here I am watching you make love to another man in my own house.” He said disgustingly. “Well, I'm glad you did come on time Marc or Carmen would never admit that are such a dick head.” I heard Blade speaking from the doorway. " Blade please," I said, I realized that I had forgotten that he was still present in the noon but it was obvious that I must get him out of the flat immediately before marc loses his temper and do something bad. “You must go now please,” I told him pleadingly as did not want either of them with broken bones. “Spare me this romantic scene,” Marc said harshly. “You will have to wait for your turn to enjoy my wife's company, Taylor. Now get out of my house you are trespassing and be thankful that I am a civilized man or I would not deal with you so kindly now go.” He threatened. “before I change my mind.”“Come with me, Carmen.” Blade insisted as he moved towards me his face rather desperate. I felt a flicker of affection for him, he really did care for me and it was not his fault that things happened as they had.“No, I can't please go I'll be fine you will see. Go quickly.” I backed conscious that my husband was looking at me I moved towards Blade and urged him out of the door promising to call him if I needed him as he protested about my decision to stay in the flat with Marc.“He is my husband Blade.” I said quietly, " and he has good reason for feeling angry, as I with him would not you say? Anyone would have misunderstood the situation !” I was not trying to defend Marc's actions but couldn't let Blade live in his own assumptions.He grasped my hands firmly raising them to his lips as I attempted to free myself, “ Don't worry love everything will be fine, we'll get married as soon. As soon as you get a divorce from that devil. I can leave the University and get a good job. But I wish you'd come with me now I don't want to leave you here with him.” he added flaring in Marc’s direction.He seemed unaware that these plans of the future had distressed me and I felt too upset to do more than urge him to go quickly as possible, an explanation would have to come later. As I had to deal with Marc first.“You must go we can't talk now, l will talk to you when I am ready,” I added rather vividly. I pushed him towards the door and let him out he as he tried to protest but I was not in the mood to confront him so I closed the door shut once he was out of the door.I returned to the room expecting to be met by an angry man only to find it empty. I headed for the door to our bedroom. It would be no good postponing the meeting so I decided to make it clear to him and tell him that our relationship will not work and it's over for good. My heart was breaking into shattering pieces but I had to be firm for what was coming or I would never come out of the mess I was in.
