Ever since L-Corp expanded, Lena had been busy nonstop. She worked long hours to the point that she was hardly ever home. You were of course patient and understanding with her. This was huge for her company and you were of course the supportive wife but things haven't been the same for close to 2 years now.

Lena would physically be in the house but her mind was somewhere else. You knew it was always about work because the moment she had a chance to step into her office, she took it. She was hardly ever around anymore. Only switching between her office, the office in the house or some boardroom.

She promised to make more time for you and the kids but would often end up bailing out at the last second. Saying that she had urgent matters to attend. You would always tell Leon and Lauren that their mum would soon have much more time for them but they knew better after months of her bailing out. Leon was hardly around because of college so he wasn't there to see how bad it had gotten. Lauren was the one who was witness to it all. The fights, the yelling, the canceled plans, everything.

Lauren was being negatively impacted it. She was acting out in school and although you tried your best to help, she kept pushing you away. You tried telling Lena about what was happening in school with Lauren but she always dismissed it saying that it was normal for teenagers to act out. The two of you would often fight about it that you soon learned to just not bring it up again and deal with it on your own. Even so far as to removing Lena from the contact so the school wouldn't call her after Lauren would get in trouble. She never even noticed that she had been taken off.

What happened to your loving wife?

In an effort to work on your marriage, you knew you were going to be the one that would have to make time. Lena had close to two years to do something and if you left it up to her, you were going to continue waiting. So knowing that Lena would always be in her office for lunch, you went over with her favorite meal.

You gave Jess a quick hello and then walked into Lena's office.

Your heart broke in two when you saw what was happening. Lena was after all in her office but she wasn't alone. A woman was currently sitting on her lap and passionately kissing her. The worst thing out of all of this was that Lena wasn't even pushing her away. She was kissing her with the same amount of passion. One that she had stopped giving to you all those months ago. The two of you would hardly even share a bed now.

You took a shaky breath and walked inside, dropping off her meal in front of them loudly.

"I hope this was worth it."

Your tone cold and emotionless. Lena pushed the woman off in surprise.

"Wait!"

You're gone before Lena has a chance to even process what had happened.

How could Lena do this to you?
