Chapter 53: The 'Other' Woman

…Isabella POV…

Okay. Let's call this what it is.

Completely and utterly fucked up.

Having a Marine as a husband feels like you are always at odds with the universe.

The Corps is his life, yet do I even dare say that the Corps is the 'other woman.'

And it is the 'other woman' that is always going to get the best parts of him.

Clayton has done some pretty fucked up things during our relationship, and yet now it is starting to grow over into our marriage. The most fucked up thing I have ever known him to do and the most fucked up thing I am going to experience…

Leaving me now, now when I need him the most.

He has chosen the 'other woman.'

I don't need to tell him how destroyed I was when I found out. He is right here.

He saw the moment my heart shattered.

He saw my soul crumble.

He watched me go from a tired but proud new momma to a broken and defeated heap of a woman.

I watched him.

I saw him.
