Entangled with the lost heir

to keep up with the bills. Despite it all, you refuse to be there for me, to love and support our union. Instead, you lavish your time and attention on someone outside

?" "You and I have been involved with the same guy, cheating on our husbands!" "No way! You had an affair with Eric? I thought it was Scott, your husband's best friend." "I've been intimate with Eric too. It was just a few times. And now I'm..." "Now you're what?" "Now I'm pregnant!" "What? Are you serious right now? How could you get pregnant for someone else while you were still married to O'brien?" "Now that sounds like you're judging." "I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel that way. But Kate!" It became uncontrollable; Amanda covered her face in shame with her palms as she wept bitterly with guilt and regret. "If Eric got you pregnant, it means you've got Gonorrhea too" the mother said before finally burying her face in the neck of her shirt to cry more freely. "I can't believe we did this; now both of us have the STI." "Both of us?" Kate needed to hear her again. "Yes, Eric gave me Gonorrhea, since you've been intimate with him to the extent of getting pregnant, he must have given it to you too." "Oh my God!" ***** "I betrayed my friend and now he's heartbroken. I should have told him the truth from the beginning." Scott confessed to Liam, a close friend of his as they both pressed the buttons on the PlayStation 5 controller, their eyes locked on the Ultra High Definition TV which displayed their EA FC 24 gameplay in 120fps. "Man I'll be honest with you, sleeping with your best friend's woman ain't cool, and it can never be cool even in the next thousand years." Liam condemned him. "I know bro. But everything started like a joke. Back in high school, I was her boyfriend." "Really?" "Yeah, but we broke up before graduation. Fast forward to last year, I met her at a mall, we chatted and we caught up pretty fast. She told me she was married and I respected that. But as time went on, we got closer, and before I knew it, we became that close." "You know something about you that I find funny?" Liam asked with a smile. "Nah, what's it?" "You lie to someone like they are a child." "I swear to God! Man, I ain't lying." "You said you met her at the mall and that's how you gotta see her after all those years from high school?" "Yes!" "You've been O'brien's best friend. That guy tells you literally everything in his life. You've been with him from different stages of his life. And you want to tell me that you didn't know who his wife was? Didn't you attend your best friend's wedding? O'brien, didn't you attend his wedding?" "I did." Scott whispered. "And you were the best man! You were O'brien's best man when he married Kate, and you have the brass neck to sit here and tell me you didn't know Kate was married until ye both met at some damn mall? Damn you man!" "I mean...." Scott wanted to say something but he was short of words he knew, he couldn't lie any longer because he has already been caught. "You mean? You mean what? Come on man yo
