A Month Later

Lucy's P.O.V

We sat in front of the tanned, muscular built man, black hair, citrus-colored eyes, dressed in a black suit with a white dress shirt and red tie, who we knew as Yuta. "You guys have been married for more than a year, that's good." I nodded. "So why are you two here?" Carla continued to remain silent. If he suggested it then he should have at least somehow played along.

"It's more like we have a problem with trust."

"Trust huh, that's an important factor. Tell me about some experiences." I blushed. It was going to come out somehow. So I might as well start with what made him so angry.

"I kissed his brother."

"Made out with" I slowly nodded in defeat.

"Yeah, made out with" The man arched a brow at Carla before he looked at me.

"You did it out of want. " His eyes widened along with mine. Carla arched a brow at the counselor.

"Why would she?"

"By the way you two are sitting, which is on opposite sides of the couch I realize that you are angry with her. Not because she kissed your brother but because you feel as if she betrayed you." He stared at Carla for a little bit longer. "Something tells me that you are not the expressive type of guy. Your wife came to your brother out of want for the emotion you lacked to give her.
Not just physically but emotionally."

"But sir-" He shook his head.

"You feel bad that you wanted his brother. Yet you only did it because your husband seems to make you feel as if you are nothing more than a bride. Once he had you, you were to follow his rules and nothing else."

"Nothing but a bride?"

"So you think that I married her for no reason other than wanting someone?" He nodded.

"You used her as a replacement goldfish. It makes you hate yourself about it but you can't seem to get over the fact that you are married to her, in both a positive and a negative way." Carla let out a dry chuckle before he stood up and grabbed my wrist.

"Come on"

"Carla-kun" He started to pull me out of the room when our counselor spoke.

"You cheated on her, didn't you?" Carla's brows furrowed. "She feels slight anger from this but is so broken that she doesn't show it. That's probably why she shows this to you." His brow furrowed before he looked back into the room.

"Show what?"

"This obedient side, she is only being this way because of your ideas that she conformed to, she is only doing this to hope that you love her. Believe me, I know a stubborn woman when I see one and know that this is out of her character." I felt my eyes began to water. Was he right? As much as I tried to fight changing I did. I didn't love him nor did he love me but for some reason, I gave him what he wanted. "It's okay to cry Mrs. Tsukinami." His eyes were so sincere, I couldn't help but allow myself to cry.

"I'm sorry"

"You shouldn't apologize for being in pain."

"But I can't help it."

"Mr. Tsukinami you should comfort your wife. Always being cold to her will only hurt her again. You want to make her feel better, which is why you came am I right?" As I felt the warmth and comfort of Carla's eyes surround me I blushed. Yuta chuckled, "Your wife is surprised that you comforted her. What I want from you two is more honesty. Mr. Tsukinami, I want you to break it off with that girl. It is already hurting your family enough. Also, I want you two to go out on dates or something like that."

"Sure" He looked at the time.

"What do you know, ten minutes early. Do you have any more questions?" We shook our heads. "Okay, well hope to see you guys soon!"
