The secret system of neglected son-in-law

9. Refusal to stay seperate

AT MARCH 10TH

 

AT THIRD PERSON'S POV:

Michael looked at Isabella for a few moments before sighing a bit.

"I think we need to give some time to setle things between us."Michael said.

The air in the room grows heavy as Michael's words linger, leaving an uneasy silence between them. Isabella's heart sinks, a sinking feeling settling in the pit of his stomach.

"Are you... are you saying what I think you're saying, Michael?"Isabella asked.

She seemed to be pretty surprised about Michael wanting to break up with her.

"I'm sorry, Isabella. I think we need to break up."Michael said.

The words hang in the air, heavily, as Isabella struggles to process the sudden turn of events.

"But... but why, Michael? What did I do wrong?"Isabella asked.

"This," Michael said and showed the photo he had taken of her kissing that guy.

At that moment Isabella understood that she had messed up a bit of time.

"Michael! I... I can explain."Isabella said.

Michael could feel her voice shaking, knowing that she messed up.

"Explain what, Isabella? Who is he?"Michael asked.

Michel turns towards her uncomfortably, clearly sensing the tension in the air.

"He is my colleague from one of the projects I was working on."Isabella said nervously.

"Spare me the excuses. I know exactly what's going on here. I saw you two KISSING."Michael said.

Isabella's face pales a little as she realizes the gravity of the situation, her eyes darting between her and the man in a photo.

"Michael please, let me explain.."Isabella said.

Michael gets up from his chair and turns from her before he walks to the other side of the room. Michael's heart is heavy with the weight of betrayal and hurt, leaving Isabella standing there, speechless and remorseful.

"I understand that you mad! We talked about us before."Isabella tried to say something.

"Do you really think that I am that stupid, Isbella? I know that this man is one who you cheated on me because he was buying things for you."Michel said, his voice was cold like ice.

"We've been drifting apart for a while now, and I think it's time we face the truth. Still, I do not want to lose you. "Isabella said.

Michael looked at Isabella, not being sure what to do next. He loved her since the start and she just changed towards a man who could buy a fancier bag.

"I want to try it again, please Michael."Isabella said almost crying.

"I do not think so. Leave my office."Michael said and left the room.

As Michael sat alone beck in his house, trying to make sense of the agitation in my heart, the weight of what just happened pressed down on me like a suffocating blanket. Breaking up with Isabella was not the last thing he ever imagined, but it still hurt him. Part of him felt angry, furious at the betrayal and trickery that tore apart the fabric of our relationship. How could she do this to him? To them?

"You look really upset, host."Isabella said.

"I feel sad. I knew that it's going to happen soon, but since it's already done it made me more sad than before.."Michael said and sighed.

"Your meeting with parents helped you to level up host. It let's you show less feelings to unwanted people."Wanessa said.

"That's good."Michael said and sighed.

She quickly went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of his favorite drink and handed him a can.

"Thank you."Michael said.

"I might not fully understand humans emotions, but I am glad that I am able to help you, even a little bit.'Wanessa said.

Michael couldn't shake a feeling of being uncertain of which path to take. Should he try to rescue what's left of their relationship, despite the pain and distrust that now taint it? Or should he walk away, severing ties with the woman I once thought I'd spend the rest of my life with?

Michael have decided to reach out to his friend, seeking solace and guidance in his wisdom.

"Hey, Michael! What's up?"Adam asked.

"Hey, Adam. Can... can we talk? I really need your advice on something."Michael said.

"Of course, buddy. What's going on?"Adam asked.

"It's Isabella. We... we broke up."Michael said with a sigh.

"Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you okay?"Adam asked and you could hear a concerned tone in hs voice.

"What should I do Adam about it? You became my friend and I don't know how to feel about her?"Michael asked.

"I think you should try to figure out your feelings and then make decision."Adam said.

"I don't know, Adam. I'm a mess right now. Part of me wants to go back to her, to try and work things out. But another part of me... I don't know if I can ever trust her again. I do not want get hurt by her again."Michael said.

"That's tough, Michel. Trust is the foundation of any relationship. But if you still love her, maybe it's worth giving it another shot. Have you talked to her about how you're feeling?"Adam asked.

Michael thought for a second and sighed.

"Not yet since I broke up with her today. I just needed to clear my head first, you know?"Michael said.

"Take your time, buddy. But remember, communication is key. Maybe talking things through with Isabella will help you both figure out what you want."Adam said.

"I really appreciate you being there for me."Michael said.

"Anytime, buddy. We'll get through this together, I promise."Adam said and smiled.

"He is good friend of yours. I am glad you met him."Wanessa said.

I am happy too."Michael said.

He decided to finish his drink and think about it later.

At the same time, Isabella sat at her desk, her mind consumed by thoughts of Michael and the painful void his absence had left in her life. He was a complete looser before that she was not so interested, but now since he has more money and a better life, she wishes for him to go back to her.

"I can't loose him so fast."Isabella said.

Determination wells up within her as she resolves to win him back, to restore the broken pieces of their relationship.

"I can't let this be the end. I need to find a way to make things right with Michael, to show him how much he means to me."Isabella thought.

"He is more special than I have thought before. I am sure that my parents like him and I am so happy that they haven't heard about me cheating on him."Isabella thought with a sigh.

With newfound purpose, Isabella picks up her phone and dials her best friend, Sarah, seeking advice and support in her journey to win back Michael's heart. She already had experience with something like this, so she should be able to help.

"Hey, Isabella! What's going on?"Sarah asked.

"Sarah, I need your help. Michael and I broke up, but I can't just let him go. I need to make things right between us."Isabella said.

"Of course, Isabella. I'm here for you. What do you need me to do?"Sarah asked.

"I want to plan something special for John, something that shows him how much I care about him and that I'm willing to fight for our relationship."Isabella said.

She knew that he would try to do stuff like this and she would reject it, so doing the opposite should get on his good side.

"That's a great idea, Isabella. Maybe a romantic dinner or a surprise weekend getaway?"Sarah said.

"Yes, exactly! I'll start working on the details right away. Thank you so much, Sarah. I don't know what I'd do without you."Isabella said."

"You've got this, Isabella. Michael is lucky to have someone who cares about him as much as you do."Sarah said.

As soon as hanging up her phone Isabella started writting down some things that Michael liked about her in their relationship.

"It's going to be a piece of cake."She said.

At the same evening Michael got a message from Isabella.

"She sent me a message."Michael said and looked at his phone.

"Hey, Michael

I hope you're doing okay. I've been thinking a lot about us and I realized how much I miss you. Would you be interested in joining me for dinner tomorrow tonight? There's something important I want to talk to you about.

Let me know if you're available.

Isabella"

A surprised look appeared in his eyes. He broke up with her today and now she now trying to get him back.
