Chapter 100: Protect

Martin sat forward with his head in his hands feeling a little lost and filled with grief. Why did she have to leave him, he needed her. He couldn't change the past and he couldn't bring his wife back, he could only set about changing the future for himself and April.

April was showing him she had grown into a confident and strong woman. He had to also stand strong in order to change the future. He could no longer go home to a greedy wife who took more than she gave which was nothing. He would be far more content living alone and having April visit, maybe she would visit more often if Rachel and Lucy were not there.

It wouldn't be easy, Rachel had got her hands into all aspects of his life and he had over time let her as he wanted an easy life. But who wanted an easy life when it meant not living at all.
