"Feeding the Ego starves the soul"
-Joshua Linden

Hello !!!!

After a long time. I read 'Miscalculated Risks' this week and wow, this author is so new, still so great. The character, Isabel, in her book is so independent and outgoing. Suffice to say, I loved the story. The other sequel will be coming soon. I am telling you all this because some of you requested me to post the name of my favourite books. Well, this is my favourite winter read.

Savannah--

"You never thought of searching information about him on the google search engine." Matt said, astonished at the result that came on the page when he typed 'Aaron Cole and Juliette'

I couldn't speak, how could I when everything went upside down in my mind. Aaron never told me about Juliette. Come to think of it, he never discussed his previous life. It was a sort of rule he made before we got married "I love you and you love me. What we did before we met each other is not important."

I thought he said that because he was called a womaniser, a player. No one ever said something in contradiction.

At last I found my voice," I did actually but I never knew about Juliette so everything that turned up was related to his new hotels, his business development and his family. Few times, it was about girls he dated but I never worried because Aaron was faithful. I knew he was."

Photos of Juliette and Aaron kept lining one by one, twenty, forty, eighty and more. Matt opened and closed tabs, Aaron with his family, happy, smiling at the camera with a strange dark haired girl in his arms. In some pictures, they were talking to each other, they looked intimate, close. More pictures of functions, some award related, some restaurant inauguration related, and then, Aaron and Juliette with .... I stood up.

"Open that link." I touch the picture on the screen.

Famous Tycoon Aaron Cole ready to exchange vows with the beautiful Miss Greece 2006, Juliette Lucio Giordani.

I felt numb.

Isn't it something you should know before you marry the guy? I was really a fool. He never told me anything, his family thought of me as a gold digging whore. I saw his cousins in pictures, if occasionally we met, we didn't talk, not even exchange pleasantries.

"Did they...", my voice faltered.

Matt's face is closed off, no expression. He shakes his head, no.

" According to the news leaked by a mutual friend of their families, Aaron left Juliette after she miscarried. They were marrying early because of the baby and when the baby..." He paused.

"They were in a relationship for five years, before Juliette became famous. She works in movies now. They aren't together since four years."

I made my way to the kitchen's sink. I filled my palm with water and slapped it on my face, again and again. I felt drained, tired and careless all of a sudden.

"How could I trust him? How could I believe a person who left a girl when she needed him most?" Suddenly Matt was there, hugging me.

Matt who was just my friend, he was there when no one was.

If Aaron was anything like Matt, I wouldn't be here.

"Matt, you will make a girl very happy someday. Very happy."

He smiled sadly.

"That girl is you, Savannah." His lips touched mine softly, then there was a bang on the door, followed by another.

"Open the door, wife."

Great.

"Stay inside the room."

Matt lifted his arms and went to open the door while I walked towards Jim's bed. I sat on the bed and waited for Aaron to leave.

He didn't.

Ten minutes later, Matt came inside the room and punched the wall in annoyance.

"He brought his attorney." Matt said angrily.

Fifteen minutes later ---

"My client informed me that you wanted a divorce."

I nodded.

I had made the decision, I could not stay with Aaron. Never.

"So I will get the papers ready but before that you do realize that your son Jim would permanently stay with his father, don't you?" The lawyer stated.

"No," I shouted "Jim will stay with his mother."

"Now Mrs.Cole, there is no need to yell. We can discuss it quietly. The court knows that your salary is not enough to feed and educate your child."

"I will do a job then. I already earn 750$ a month." I said.

"My point, I earn more than 750$ in an hour, dear wife." Aaron inserted.

"Fuck off." I hissed at him.

His eyes narrowed and he shook his head.

"You are just making my case strong. If you do start another job, you will have to leave this one, whatever this job is. Then, our son will have no one to take care of him. You can't afford a nanny, my wife." He had his arms around Jim who slept soundly.

"Didn't I just ask you to go and fuck off?" I glared when he made a motion of closing Jim's ears.

"Mrs.Cole," I interrupted "Call me Savannah."

"Savannah, you are not helping your cause. With the amount of obscenities you use, it cannot be good for the child and.." Herald, the lawyer lifted his hand when I started to speak.

"If you assent, then we can have a counsellor assigned for both of you. Probably, there won't be a need for a divorce."

I stood up and yelled,"There is a need. I can't live with a cheat who accused me of lying when he didn't tell me anything about his fucking ex-fiance, who still treats me like an employee, an employee who will come and go at his beck and call. I hate his guts."

Jim awoke with a cry and Aaron who was red faced, looked at me with a murderous glare.

"Now look what you did." Aaron said and went inside the room.

"We could do one thing." Matt proposed a few minutes later.

The attorney, Mr.Herald sighed "What is it?"

"I could marry her. I earn more than enough for the three of us." He wasn't looking at me but the lawyer.

"No Matt, I won't let you do that." I said.

"Neither would I." Aaron came inside the room with a calm Jim in his arms.

"But I'd love to see you try, Raymond."

"You can't do anything Aaron." Matt looked me straight in the eye and said,"Its either him or me. I will keep you safe and will love Jim as my own."

Can I do that? Can I stay with Matt and love him equally?

The answer came fast.

No.

But could I stay with Aaron after knowing what I know now?

"Never." I thought.
