He Begged Me Back After I Walked Away

On our fifth wedding anniversary, the gift James gave me was a video of him sleeping with his ex-lover, Lena.

On her wrist, was the jade bracelet my grandmother had left to me.

I knew then, our marriage had come to an end.

This love had already faded.Holding on would only make me drown.

After the slap in front of the crowd.

After the miscarriage he never even knew about.

After thirty days of cooling-off. I chose to walk away.

Later, James saw the medical report.

Three months pregnant. Gone.

He went almost mad trying to find me.

Begging. Promising. Regretting. Forcing.
