CHAPTER 6: AFTERMATH

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
By the time Renée woke up, the kids were already at school,
Rose petals trailed from the bedroom door, all the way towards the pool.
She didnt bother to follow; instead she went and took a shower,
Outside awaited breakfast and 15 bouquets of flowers.
All hand signed with a written note,
Of some of the best of Poeticcharmer's poetic quotes.
He offered her some breakfast and her favorite bucks from the star,
As she insulted him by pulling out from her purse, a protein bar.

"His words mean shit!!!"
Renée exclaimed

"I just didn't see this coming."
Michelle replied

"He's a lying, cheating, egotistical prick!" Renée added

"Sis, its okay, just let it out."
Michelle stated

"Where did I go wrong?"
Renée cried

Renée began to cry
in her sister's arms

"I'm sorry sis"
Renée replied

"Don't be, you became so focused on
saving me, that you didn't realize
that you needed help"
Michelle responded

"I'm almost able to cover the costs of your initial treatments, if I borrow a loan coupled with the amount I've been saving with this promotion bonus,
I should be able to-"
Renée replied

"Renée, Stop!! You'll be in debt for months, let's say you do pay off the initial payments, what about the second and the third, I can't allow you to do that sis. I won't allow it. Use it to pay your mortgage and pay your bills." Michelle added

"Sis-"
Renée responded

"I'll be fine, now head off to work, can't have you being late again"
Michelle interjected.

"I'll check in tomorrow."
Renée replied

"I'll be here, now go"
Michelle added

Stepping out of that room, she felt she would die, She hardly could hold back the tears as he tried not to cry. She felt two arms came around her as she broke down in tears, Uncertain of whose shoulders, she no longer cares. 5 minutes had passed, and she was still in the hall, The two arms comforted her, however small. She dried her tears and lifted up her head, But was surprised to see who it was, when the voice said-

"Are you Okay?"
The voice asked

"Brandon!!!"
Renée exclaimed as
she quickly gets up from the ground

"I'm sorry, this is so embarrassing"
Renée added

"Miss Peddleton, it's fine, you don't need to apologize for opening up and letting all that's under that smile out"
Brandon replied as
he wiped the
tears from her eyes

"You don't know anything about me"
Renée added

"No, I don't but you wanna know what I do know; You're not fine, and you come in here every day pouring your heart out, trying your very best to save your sister, and judging from the hasty departures; you have to balance work as well, and it frustrating. The burden you carry is one you shouldn't have to be carrying all alone, but you do. When was the last time you had a good night rest, went out to enjoy yourself knowing that you deserved it?"
Brandon replied

"Listen, I may not know anything about you, but I know a hurting woman when I see one"
Brandon added

"I...........I gotta go"
Renée replied

"I'm here if you ever wanna talk okay" Brandon stated

Renée walks away.

"Mrs. Anderson, Dimitri would like to see you in his office"
Maya announced

"Okay Thank you"
Replied Renée as she
wondered why she would
need to meet in his office

"Dimitri, you wanted to see me?"
Renée called

"Renée come on in"
Dimitri replied

"I know I called on such short notice, but I had to urgently inform you that ummm, My CEO from Singapore will be coming this afternoon to hear about the overall statistics of the companys success over a 10 year period. Now, since you are our editor in Chief, This has to be pitched by you; I know it's unplanned but this is make it or break it for the company"
Dimitri replied

I understand, I'll get straight to it
Renae replied

~Meanwhile on Patrol~

"So chief, you don't plan on fixing that coffee machine in the office?"
Thomas asked

"Chief?"
Thomas added

"Huh, ohhh I'm sorry"
Mike replied

"You okay man?"
Thomas asked

"I'm good, just didn't get any caffeine in this morning you know."
Mike replied

"You and Renée okay?"
Thomas asked

"Why wouldn't we be?"
Mike replied

"Mike, I'm not stupid;
the girl you were with,
in the storage room,
that's Catherine right?"
Thomas asked

"What? How'd you- I don't know what you're talking about."
Mike responded

"It makes perfect sense, Thomas babbled his mouth, you got angry, she shows up at the party, you both got it on and now you and your wife are heated because she saw the whole thing."
Thomas explained

"What do you mean she saw the whole thing?"
Mike asked

"She came to drop off the kids jacket bruv, and she went to use the bathroom afterwards, but when I saw her storm out the house, I came and check and that's when I found you two"
Thomas responded

"Renée was there!?"
Mike exclaimed as he
pulled the vehicle over.

"For a brief moment, yes"
Thomas replied

"Damn!!!!!"
as Mike began to punch
the steering wheel

"Listen you need to get your affairs in order, you're not only on the verge of losing your wife, you're about to lose your marriage as well."
Thomas mentioned

"I'm sorry, I know I messed up, I do but I can't help it, I try to stay away but there's just something about Catherine that just keeps me addicted to her, I tried apologizing to Renée but she barely even acknowledges me, I cooked I bought flowers, I did everything you could think of, what else should I do?"
Mike expressed

"You need to show her that you love her, not with flowers or chocolate or whatever you may have bought; but you need to prove to her that you actually care. Become the man that placed that ring on her finger in the first place who knew the reason why he did."
Thomas replied

"And what that is, I can't tell you, you need to find out on your own"
Thomas added

"Thanks bro, I never actually looked at it from her perspective. I have been a supporting husband; I'm not even a supportive dad. My wife got a promotion and I didn't even know about it!!!! What kind of man am I?"
Mike cried

"That's left up to you to decide. But ask yourself this question, how much is your marriage worth to you?"
Thomas replied

"If it makes you feel better I'm inviting you to church, I know you always say yes but never show up, but I think it would be a great start for you."
Thomas added

"I'll be there, let's get some donuts on the way back to base."
Mike replied
