Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Bettie was struck dumb with disbelief.
“What? This is beyond belief!”
Bettie swiftly pieced together a realization. Sabrina had indeed ventured downstairs for Tyrone yesterday.
Sabrina even claimed to have merely cleaned the floor when she noticed it was soiled. Worse still, Sabrina’s trousers were damp
and she claimed she’d wielded a mop.
No wonder Sabrina had reacted so strongly when she was about to enter her room.
Her instincts were correct. A man was concealed within! To be precise, a scoundrel!
Seated upon the sofa, Bettie observed as Kylan made his way into Sabrina’s room.
After some time, the door emitted a faint creak, and out emerged Tyrone, impeccably clad in a suit, his attire neatly arranged.
Kylan followed closely behind.
Hearing the commotion, Bettie turned her gaze in its direction, her anger simmering within.
With a forced, insincere smile, she addressed Tyrone, “Mr. Blakely, when did you arrive? How is it that I was unaware? You
certainly have a talent for concealment.”
Detecting the irony in her words, Tyrone responded with a faint smile and seated himself across from her, “Miss Ramirez, I must
apologize.
Sabrina mentioned that you were slumbering last night and she didn’t wish to disturb you.”
The corners of Bettie’s mouth quivered with an unspoken reaction.
Internally, she harbored a grievance against Sabrina.
Tyrone proceeded, “I extend my gratitude for your steadfast care of Sabrina, Miss Ramirez. Were it not for you, I fear that
Sabrina would not have been able to move forward so swiftly. I hold a deep sense of appreciation. If you ever find yourself in
need, please do not hesitate to confide in me.

I understand that for various reasons, you may have had reservations about me in the past and it is not an easy feat to alter
one’s opinion hastily. Nevertheless, I beseech you to momentarily set aside any animosity. After all, you are a close friend of
Sabrina’s, and I, her ex-husband. Our shared desire is for her happiness, to spare her from embarrassment.”
Much like the present situation, Sabrina was acutely aware of Bettie’s disapproval of Tyrone for her sake. Sabrina had no
intention of causing Bettie any distress but circumstances had compelled her to offer Tyrone forgiveness. In this perplexing
dilemma, Sabrina and Tyrone acted as if they had engaged in an illicit affair the previous day.
Gazing at Tyrone, Bettie graced him with a smile and commented, “This is the first time I’ve witnessed your eloquence.”
She had no rebuttal.
She comprehended that Tyrone was not at fault but rather Sabrina.
Sabrina had changed!
Despite declaring her reluctance to remarry Tyrone, Sabrina’s actions contradicted her words.
Bettie felt a profound sense of disappointment, yet she also acknowledged the disparities between herself and Sabrina.
