I am my husbands secret Affair

Thirteen. Delilah heads home to Oregon

Delilah

I went to the bar down the street to wait for Brandon.

I just ordered a plain water with ice and lemon. Looking at my phone, no texts, no calls. I texted him. "Here, where are you?"

Brandon never responded to me. I sat there over an hour.

I called Antonio while I waited. "What did the doctor say? I wish you would have told me about your s*x restrictions last night. I would have pleasured you the same way you did me."

Antonio told me, "Stop talking to me, I'm in a public place here." He adjusted his trousers.

I laughed. He made me feel sexy.

" Oh, sorry sweetie."

He wanted me still.

"Can I see you again before you leave, did dumbo give you the divorce papers yet?"

I looked at my watch. " I've been here for an hour, no response. My flight leaves at 6pm tomorrow night. I guess he can fed ex them to me."

Antonio seemed worried. "Maybe he changed his mind?"

" Whatever, Tony, he hates me, he wouldn't have choked me out that night.".....I said that out loud, I never told anyone that secret. I covered my mouth.

Antonio was very quiet. "Come pick me up." He hung up on me.

I left a $5 on the table and got in my car. s**t, I hadn't meant to ever tell that to anyone.

I pulled up to the rehab center. Antonio was wearing jeans and a button down shirt. He wasn't smiling. "Drive."

I nodded," Where?" He gave me a scathing look. "Brandon."

I turned the car around.

" No way, your heart. That would kill you, no freaking way!"

He reluctantly agreed.

I drove to a hotel. We got out and he took my hand in his.

I shut the door behind us. Antonio held me, he looked at my neck. He kissed my hand, my arm.

He sat me down. "No man ever has the right to put his hands on you in anger. Never."

I put my head down. "Tony, I tied him down. I forced him to have s*x. I wanted to use him. I wanted a baby. I hurt him. I deserved it, and more."

He took my chin. "Never. He is much stronger than you. He deserves to die. I want to kill him."

My darkest secret was out. I started to well up remembering that horrible night.

"Tony, I lost my mind, I really hurt him."

He kissed my lips. " I promise no one will ever hurt you like that again, I promise."

Antonio was rubbing my arms and then my waist. He trailed a line around my rib cage. I shuddered.

" Antonio, your heart!"

He smiled, "you own it now Bella."

I asked him,

"Come with me to Oregon? I'll take good care of you."

He nodded. " I will, once the doctor clears me for travel, I will come."

I grinned now. My face felt radiant.

He covered his eyes,

"Your light, it shines so bright!"

I kissed him passionately. His heart beat faster. He pulled away. "A little rest." He lay down and I held his hand and whispered to him. " I'll be still."

I continued, "Antonio, can you imagine a life together with me, my baby?"

He sat up. "I have been thinking of you, Bellisima since the day that I met you. I will love every part of you. Even a little baby. I would have loved to have babies with my Maria Bella."

I had hot tears rolling out.

He kissed my fingers. I was speechless. He would accept me and my baby.

Lillianne

" Lilli, you are... so ...hot...slow down girl." I surprised Brandon by coming to his house unannounced.

I was hoping his wife was there. Too bad. Brandon let me in and I pounced on him.

He was preparing the divorce papers to deliver to Delilah.

**********

Brandon

After Lilli came over, I forgot all about Delilah. I didn't even check my phone when I heard it beep an hour later.

I pulled Lilli in close and kissed her deeply. She was everything that I had been looking for. Exciting, sexy, disinhibited.

I forgot all about my wife.

Later that night, after Lilli left my hot bed, I saw the text from Delilah. I would text her tomorrow.

***********

Delilah

I woke up feeling better than ever. I was packing to go home to Oregon.

Sera was sad to see her friend go. "When are you coming back here again? You know Blaze will be forever grateful to you for babysitting so much. We got spoiled."

I gave her a big hug and kissed her cheek. " Thanks for putting up with me."

I took an uber to the airport.

I just missed Brandon's text asking me to meet up tonight, same place.

He waited for me there for an hour. I never even texted him back.

" What a game player, vindictive bitch."

He texted me.

"Tired of your games. Send me a text when you can stop being such a vindictive bitch."

My plane landed softly. My phone dinged in the taxi on my way to grandmother's farm.

I saw the toxic text from Brandon. Angrily, I deleted him and blocked him.

I smiled, easy. No more husband.

I pulled up to the farm. My mother was working in the garden. I paid the fare to my driver and jumped out excitedly.

"My girl, get over here!" my mother yelled seeing me, her daughter.

I ran into her mother's open arms. She pulled back, scanning her girl. "What's wrong?"

I turned around.

"Do I look different to you?"I smiled.

My mother said,"more beautiful than ever!"

" Mother, I'm pregnant!"

Georgia sat down and put her hands over her face. She cried tears of joy. I hugged her and helped her up.

" I was hoping you would be happy."

She smiled at me, "Of course. I am over the moon. I thought Brandon never wanted children."

" Well, I haven't actually talked to him about it. We are separated. He is filing for divorce."

Georgia was very angry now. "Did you think about the baby, when you neglected to tell him you were pregnant. Maybe he wouldn't have filed for divorce. Surely you could have worked it out for the baby."

I nodded. I began to shut down emotionally now. I was already tearful from my hormones.

"I will leave in the morning if you want me to."

Georgia could see that I hadn't been telling her the truth about my marraige.

I went into the house and lay down on grandma's bed.

" Grandma. Talk to me, please."

My phone beeped.

It was Antonio. "Call me."

I called him then.

"You made it Bella?"

I was glad to hear his warm voice. "Yes, I just did. Mother is mad about the baby. She thinks I should go back to my husband and make amends."

" Does she know that he is an abusive monster?" he asked.

I sighed. "No idea, I never told anyone but you Tony."

He said, "Be brave dear. Be very brave. We need her to help us to take care of you while I recover. I will take over once the doctor clears me."

I agreed. "Okay, I will ask her if I can stay."

Georgia overheard most of that conversation as I was on speaker phone.

"Brandon was a monster. Who was Tony?" She wondered.

She called me for dinner. I had no appetite and ate like a bird.

She was very quiet. Georgia asked me,"I need to know, what did he do to you?"

I shrugged.

" Brandon?"

Georgia nodded. I responded with a shudder.

" It's a long, embarrassing story. I would rather not get into it right now. Let's just have a nice dinner, I'll leave in the morning. I'll go back to my husband."

Georgia told me,"you'll do no such thing. We are having a baby."

I started to cry. I excused myself to my room.

Mother was letting me stay. I felt that I had no where else to go right now.

When the morning came Brandon texted me. It came back undeliverable. "She blocked me."

He was livid. He would find me. He looked up my social media. Nothing new there. He called my employer.

"Can I speak to Delilah Jonas please?"

" Sir I'm sorry, she no longer works for us."

***********

Brandon

I thought about calling her mother. I hadn't spoken to her since Delilah's grandmother had died. I dialed the number.

Georgia saw it was a call from me. She picked it up.

"Hello Brandon, how are you son?"

" I'm fine. I need to talk to my wife please." Mother called for her. "Hmm. hold on, let me find her."

**********

Delilah

I came out of my room. I had been feeling sick. I vomited breakfast.

" Your husband is calling."

"Hello?" I said groggily.

He started to cuss at me now.

"You blocked me, you are such a b***h. You can't prevent this divorce. I mean I know you are doing this on purpose. Vindictive whore."

Georgia had heard enough. She took the phone and slammed it down. "Go lay down, we won't answer it any more."

I nodded, running to the bathroom. I was sick again.
