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.
