Chapter 4 Let's break up

Sean's Point of View

It's been over five years since I divorced Amelia to be with Alice. I thought Alice was more beautiful and classier than Amelia but it looks like I learnt my lesson the hard way.

*Six Years ago*

Amelia and I had just gotten married after dating for a year and eight months. I was a playboy in college and many girls were always around me because I was handsome and rich.

I was planning to ask Alice Fabian out in my second year in college when Amelia suddenly appeared as a transfer student. Alice was very popular and always dressed up like a model in school but Amelia was more beautiful even with just her simple dressing.

I couldn't control myself and fell in love with her. I became serious in the relationship but I still couldn't get rid of my playboy attitude at once. Amelia knew about it but she believed I would change completely one day and agreed to marry me.

After three months of getting married to her, I met Alice again and this time, I decided to do what I was unable to do in college. Alice didn't say no to me but she gave me a condition which was to divorce Amelia.

I thought about it for a whole month before deciding to divorce her. Amelia was always at home because I made her a housewife and she wasn't seeming as attractive as she was before so I just divorced her and I've been with Alice since then.

*End of flashback*

Alice could satisfy me sexually and make me raise my head proudly among my peers since she was a top model but she couldn't give me the peace of mind that Amelia gave me.

Amelia treated me warmly and sincerely. She truly loved me with all her heart and the truth is that she's even more beautiful than Alice but because she was a housewife, she didn't get to dress up like Alice.

She was always busy trying to keep the house clean and cook for me since I didn't employ any maid. She never complained about how stressful it was to be a housewife and it was later on that I just realized I had lost a rare gem. Why did I have to listen to Alice anyway?

The ringing of my phone jolted me out of my thoughts and I checked the caller only to discover it was Alice Fabian.

"Talk about the devil" I mumbled before answering the call

"What time are you picking me up? It's past seven already. Don't tell me you want to cancel the date again, I really won't accept it this time" she said

"What are you going to do if I cancel it?" I asked

"Sean" she called my name in surprise

"I will be there to pick you up in a few minutes" I said and ended the call

It's time to end our ill-fated relationship. I can't see anything that she has contributed into my life ever since we started dating so I'm going to break up with her and look for Amelia instead.

I know there are probably a few women out there who are as good as Amelia but the problem is, how do I recognize them? It's not like it's written on their forehead. I'm just going to find Amelia and make her forgive me. Even if she's married to someone else already, I won't back down so easily.

I got into my car and drove to Alice's house to pick her up for the date. It's going to be our last date together so I took her to an expensive restaurant.

"Wow! What's the occasion today?" she asked looking around in excitement

"I just want to treat you to a nice meal and apologize in advance for what I'm about to do" I said while going through the menu

"Apologize for what you want to do? What could that be?" she asked

"Let's just eat first. I will tell you when we are done eating" I said

There was silence between us from then until we finished eating and I kind of liked the peace and quietness.

"You are acting so strange today, you didn't even say anything while we were eating" she said

"It's good to maintain table manners" I shrugged

"Table manners my foot!" she mumbled

"Anyway, what did you apologize for earlier on?" she asked

"Let's break up" I said

"Break up? Are you joking right now? You said we would be getting married soon" she scoffed

"I know I said that but I changed my mind. I realized I shouldn't have left Amelia from the start so I'm going to find her back" I said

"Did you find out already?" she smiled

"Find out what?" I asked confusedly

"Ahh! I guess you didn't find out yet. You suddenly got tired of me after dating me for just six years and you think you can get married to a lady and remain faithful to her for the rest of your life?" she asked

"That is none of your business. I will try to be the best husband" I said

"Alright, you can try. I just want to tell you before you leave though. Amelia won't accept you back as her boyfriend not to talk of as a husband. A man that cheated once is bound to cheat again, but I wish you good luck though. Even though we are breaking up now, I still dated you for six years while Amelia only got to be with you for two years. I accomplished my mission either way" she said and stood up

"What are you talking about? Which mission did you accomplish?" I asked

"I guess I can tell you now since it's over between us. I liked you first before Amelia came to college as a transfer student. Just when I thought you were finally starting to notice me, Amelia came into the picture and ruined everything. I decided right then that I would be the one to end your relationship and I succeeded. Did I not accomplish my mission?" she smiled

"You crazy woman! How can you be so cruel to the point of destroying a marriage?" I screamed

"And how can you be so gullible to the point of getting used by a woman? Anyway, good luck on your new journey" she concluded and walked away

I can't believe I got used by her. I lost a rare gem all because of my foolishness. I must prove to Alice that she's wrong and get married to Amelia again no matter what it takes.
