Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Sarah was still crying, Michael's voice outside the bathroom calling her name continuously while knocking and turning the bathroom doorknob was ignored by Sarah.

That night, became a very painful night for her. She never expected Michael to say such hurtful things to her.

Sarah knew she was going a little too far to say Michael married her for sex, but at the time, that was how she felt.

"If I hadn't read the message then. Would things have been different?" thought Sarah.

When she was divorced, that was what Sarah always thought. She regretted it.

If only she hadn't read the message, she wasn't curious about the message Michael received, their marriage might have been fine.

Sarah shook her head, before that night's fight she and Michael had hardly spoken.

She was busy at the hospital, and only occasionally came home at dawn. When she came home, she only saw that Michael had fallen asleep, and as soon as she woke up, Michael had gone to work.

Unknowingly, her relationship with Michael is getting further apart, and maybe… that's the reason Michael cheated on her.

***

"GET OUT!" cried Sarah in frustration. Right now she didn't want to be touched by Michael, or to see his face. Even her chest felt tight for the same room with him.

Michael's hand which had been raised to hug Sarah immediately lowered slowly. Michael then immediately got out of bed and put his clothes back on.

He then came out of the room with a very annoyed look on his face.

Sarah flinched slightly at the sound of the door slamming before finally starting to cry again.

Sarah was in that position for a long time, sitting naked and covering her face with her hands and crying.

After feeling tired, Sarah's brain seems to start running again, this is not the time to cry!

Sarah's gaze then fell on Michael's cellphone which was still on the table, she then immediately took it and called a number that was not saved by Michael.

Sarah's chest thumped wildly when she heard the tone that signaled the call was connected.

"Hello? Michael? I didn't expect you to call me," a woman's voice said. It sounded very happy. From the tone of her voice, Sarah could tell she was young, maybe the same age as her, or a little younger. Maybe in early twenties?

"Ha… Hello." Sarah could feel her voice shaking, she was a little nervous.

"..."

The woman fell silent, as if not expecting to hear a woman's voice and not Michael's.

"I'm Michael's wife. Who are you? What did you mean at the hotel yesterday? What were you two doing?" asked Sarah repeatedly.

Actually… what can the men and women in the hotel do at night? Sarah already knew what they were doing, but deep in Sarah's heart, she wanted to ask her about it.

Could it be that she actually misunderstood, could it be that the two of them were just having dinner? Doesn't the hotel now have a restaurant?

"Tut… tut…"

The call was cut off.

Sarah's tears came out again when she heard that, her heart ached. Did Michael really do that with another woman in the hotel?

"No! Maybe that woman accidentally hung up the phone," Sarah thought trying to think positively. She wiped her tears then dialed the woman's number.

However, no matter how many times she called her, the woman didn't pick up the call.

Seeing this, Sarah laughed hollowly. It seems that everything is clear! Everything was as she thought!

That woman… ah no, that bitch… is her husband's mistress!!

If it wasn't like that, why didn't the woman explain anything when she had already mentioned that she was Michael's wife?

Without realizing it, Sarah's tears came out again. She had no idea Michael would cheat on her at all!

The man who claims to love her, who wants to marry her because he doesn't want her to glance at other men, is cheating on her!!

Sarah's chest felt tight, she couldn't accept this at all. How could Michael do this to her?

Is it all because of sex? Because she's too busy and can't serve Michael? But hadn't she explained that to Michael before? That she didn't want to have children just yet because she was busy.

After all… having sex with Michael was always exhausting. The man wanted to do different positions and his stamina was incredible.

Of course, Sarah liked it, but if she wasn't exhausted.

Sarah again wiped her tears, there is something small in her heart that wanted to believe Michael. Michael couldn't have cheated on her!

Sarah then immediately got out of bed and dressed again and out of the room.

As soon as she got out she saw Michael lying on the sofa with one hand over his eye. Sarah's emotions suddenly returned when she saw Michael. How could that man sleep like that at this time?

"Michael!" called Sarah coldly.

"Hmm!" Michael replied curtly, his tone sleepy.

"Can you wake up? I want to talk!"

"What else?" asked Michael irritably, but he kept his eyes open and stared at Sarah.

"Who is Elizabeth? What were you doing in the hotel with her?!" Sarah asked, looking intently at Michael.

"Please… please convince me that I am wrong!" Sarah thought anxiously. She really wanted to trust the man she loved.

"I told you she's a nobody!" Michael's tone sounded annoyed. He had explained that many times.

Sarah gritted her teeth.

"Bullshit! How she's a nobody but you helped her find a job and she thanked you for what you did at the hotel! Please be honest with me, Michael!" said Sarah sounding desperate.

How could Michael act as if this wasn't a serious matter?! A woman texted him at one in the morning, thanking him for what he did at the hotel yesterday, while they were having sex!

"I've been honest with you! She's a nobody! About that, it's her privacy! I can't tell you!" said Michael still annoyed.

Sarah's eyes widened when she heard that, one hand that was still holding Michael's cellphone, she threw it and hit Michael's head.

"Privacy?! Do you hear yourself? You're telling me it's her fucking privacy?!" Sarah shouted in a high voice.

Michael groaned in pain when the phone hit his head.

"Because it's her privacy! I didn't expect you to be a woman who wants to know people's privacy!" Michael quipped in annoyance.

"You're having an affair with her?!" Sarah asked coldly. She didn't want to beat around the bush with Michael anymore.

"What?!" Michael who had been sleeping, immediately stood up when he heard this.

"You heard me! You had an affair with him?!" Sarah asked coldly.

"Are you seriously asking me that?! You know I only love you!" said Michael looking hurt. He didn't expect Sarah to ask him that.
