The moment I had to walk away.
I stood in front of the mirror, no longing recognizing myself.
It got lost in a relationship that was never meant to be, one I should have fled from the beginning things started happening, abnormal things, things involving the police and maybe a District Attorney.
The loving and happy version of me was exchanged with one that frequently had to apologize, that was afraid to speak the absolute truth. I have been fighting to get that person back, but she seems long gone, in layers of pain and disappointment. The person I am fighting to keep had exceeded their expiration date in my life. He had to be replaced.
Earl, was a charming man. He was every woman’s dream come true, but to me, he was a nightmare in reality. He was fear personified. Every time I looked at him or heard his voice, I shuddered. It was not meant to be this way. We had the biggest dream of spending life together. Moving to South America and starting life. Everything began to fall apart when I got an increase in my salary and a brand new role at my company.
The celebratory dinner was my treat. I was so happy, After working for the company for eight years, I finally got the role of Senior Manager. I wanted a brand new Mercedes. I deserved it.
