Beyond the Divorce

Tossing Him Aside I heard Atlas leaving the room.

Then I heard voices outside the door, the door closing, and someone walking back in.

“Don’t you feel suffocated? Atlas’s voice sounded again, I slowly lifted the corner of the blanket to find him looking down at me from above, his smile radiant.

He looked handsome in a different way.

Is this still the calm and reserved Atlas I knew? He pulled me and the blanket toward him, holding me in his arms.

I felt my heart racing.

“Hey… what are you doing?” I struggled to breathe with him so close and his handsome face coming closer.

Suddenly, I remembered the wild and passionate kiss we shared on the riverbank last night.

It was utterly embarrassing.

People could be reckless when drunk.

His stare was intense.

“You’re overthinking.

Relax! I’d never take advantage of an unconscious person.

I helped you out of your clothes and showered you.

What did I do last night? Was I the one who had been stuttering? And he was the one I poured my heart out to? “Well… maybe I should put my clothes back on!” I babbled, struggling in his arms.

He tightened his grip on me and said, “You’re ungrateful.

How could you toss me aside after everything did for you?” “No one would toss someone as handsome as you,” I blurted, almost biting my tongue off as the words left my mouth.

I pressed my hands against his chest, glaring at him.

“W–What reward? Don’t push your luck!” His deep gaze met mine like a pitch–black abyss, almost magnetically capturing my gaze.

He kissed me again, unrelentingly.

I suspected I was under some sort of spell.

After a while, he released me.

“Stay clear–headed.

I’ll help you.” I looked at him in bewilderment.

He kissed me again, but it was brief this time.

I turned around, opened the door, and ran out before he could say anything.

It all felt like a dream.

I felt confused by all these circumstances and feelings.

Was I doing this out of revenge? I couldn’t deny the sense of intoxication and excitement I felt.

I rushed downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to the office.

Even sitting at my desk, I couldn’t completely calm my heart.

My emotions were confusing.
