"How dare you, Jason!" Scot was furious… enraged. He couldn’t put a name to how he was feeling at the moment and all he could do was charge towards Jason while throwing blows at him.
Scot was devastated, feeling deceived by both his friend and his wife. Scot fought Jason and threw numerous blows at him.
"You bastard... how could you do this to me Jason? How could... how the hell could you do this to us... to our friendship?" He couldn't contain his rage as he smacked Jason across the cheek.
The scream drew the attention of other colleagues as they gathered around to hold Scot.
Scot was mortified of what his wife had done.
"Ja.. Jane!" He screamed out the name of his wife.
Tears were rolling down from the eyes of Scot and he still finds it extremely hard to believe that his wife had done such a thing to him.
Scot also find it extremely hard to even call out the name of his wife.
His heart is breaking into tiny little pieces and it was almost as if a string have been placed inside his heart.
He was hurt... Deeply hurt.
"Jane! How could you?" Scot roared with frustration.
Hot bead of tears were rolling down from his eyes and for a while, he wishes that all that had happened was just a nightmare.
He need someone to tell him that all this are nightmares and that it isn't real.
As Scot faced his wife, with rage filled eyes and teeth grinding ferociously against each other. His eyes were bloodshot, and if gaze could kill, then his wife would be dead by now.
On the other hand, Jane didn’t feel bad about what she did, rather, she blamed Scot for all that had occurred. "Why won't I?" Jane responded.
She had just criticized Scot for not being able to care for her and meet her requirements.
The question that his wife had asked him hit him deeply. Her question have torn his scattered piece's of heart into two.
As his brows were slightly arched, he questioned his wife in disbelief. "But.. but I thought you loved me, Jane?" Scot inquired.
He was scared of asking her about her feeling towards him but still, he went ahead to ask her.
He needed to confirm that truly she loves him. "I... I thought you love me Jane because no one would ever do such a thing to the person they claim to love." He stuttered while crying
"Love?" she inquired with a laugh “Look at yourself, aren't you sick of your life? C'mon, your only option should be death. You're already as good as a dead man." Jane jested him and it made Scot more angry.
Scot shook his head in frustration, as he felt misled. He hated to believe her words, but they seem true.
He deep down knows that he was good as a dead man... or wasn't he?
He shot his eyes for a while while sniffing his nose and with that he open his eyes.
With bloodshot eyes, he looks at his wife. Deep down, he tried to control his feelings, because all he could think about was strangling her.
Other colleagues were peering out the window. They were blunt and unable to speak.
Colleagues begin to question themselves at this point, as some of them are aware of what is going on in the office.
"Is that Scot's wife?" some muttered.
"Scot is married?" some inquired.
"Did his wife sleep with our boss?" some said in pity.
"I couldn't believe Scot could marry such a lovely woman and then she cheats on him," another said.
"Oh! Poor Scot.” others said
"Everybody get out!" Jason roared angrily as all of his coworkers murmured in front of him.
Everyone was stunned as they bolted from the office without hesitation.
Scot stare at the ceiling to compose himself but it was quite hard for him to do.
He gaze at his wife as he pointed his index finger at her. "Even if.... you are damn aware that even if it was my last dime of cash, I always did my best to put food on the table. I always... I always continue to provide for you, so how the hell could you do this to me? How could you do this hur...?" Scot couldn't finish his sentence because he stammered as tears streamed down his cheek.
"Who says you've ever fed me? All of the food on the table was paid for with his money, not yours." Jane yelled, extending her finger at Jason.
"What?" Scot exclaimed "Since when?" tears continue to stream down his cheek.
Jason was starting to laugh at Scot after his wife embarrassed him so terribly.
"When?" Jane responded angrily.
"Yeah.” Scot nods.
"Since the day you didn't come home. I saw him in the club, and that's where we met," Jane said confidently, knowing well that her husband couldn't hurt her.
"That night. I slept under the bridge... I slept under the bridge because I was afraid you'd throw me out because I didn't have any money. I have sacrifice a lot for you so please don't do this to me." Scot tries to approach his wife, but Jason tells him not to move an inch.
"I'm glad you didn't come because I found the perfect man for me, someone capable, unlike you. Did you really think those pennies you have would be enough to take care of me?” she gestures to herself “Take a look at me, I am above your standards,” she hissed.
"Jane, why are you doing this to me? What did I do to deserve all of this? You already know how much I adore..." Scot comes to a halt after being interrupted by Jane.
"Love? Don't say such a thing again," Jane moves over to Jason, wrapped her arms around his neck as she demonstrated how much she adored him.
Scot remained deafeningly silent. He was helpless to do anything but cry.
"Honey, what is he still doing here? He has overstayed his welcome." Jane ran her finger across Jason's chest.
"Babe, you understand how unjust this is... you are hurting me deeply Jane and you know that my love is sincere.” He sadly to Jane then turns to Jason.
“I’ll make... I'll make you pay for what you did to me, you made me lose... you have made me loose my wife, you’ll pay Jason." Scot screamed as more tear's flows down from his eye.
"Security!" Jason yelled angrily.
Two hefty security men came into the office and Jason pointed at Scot.
"Get this good and nothing man out of here." the security guard grabbed him and began to push Scot out of the office
"Move," they demanded their voice thick as a bouncer's.
Scot's only thought after the disgrace and betrayal he felt in the office was how to end his life.'What am I living for?' he asked himself.Scot lost his job and his wife on the same day. He has lost everything he has ever loved. Everyone around him had abandoned him, including his friends. Suicidal thoughts rang in his head.'What do I do now, who will aid me now, Oh God!' Scot sobbed bitterly. Scot's felt totally useless at this point. Nothing made sense to him any longer.“Jane!” he screamed at the top of his lungs “After everything we've been through together," Scot said bitterly.Scot was filled with rage, hatred, and despair for everyone that made him feel this miserable.'I can no longer sustain this marriage,' his inner voice said. Scot had enough of everything and decided to go pack his belonging from the house because he felt too ashamed to face any of Jane’s family or Jane herself. He continued shaking his head and folding his arms in desperation as he walked to the plac
"I can't believe I finally met my father after all this time." Scot expressed the excitement he felt by just meeting him. Scot and his father were already seated in one of the city's largest restaurants. Scot couldn't believe what he was seeing because everything seemed surreal to him. When the server arrived, Mr. Donald told him to order whatever he wanted."S-s-Sir, are you serious?" Scot inquired, his eyes wide open in surprise. Mr. Donald laughed and nods his head. "You have nothing to be concerned about, make your order, son," his father assured, while smiling.Scot still couldn't believe what was happening but he knew deep inside of him that something great was actually waiting for him in the form of knowing who his father was."Sir, I have a question for you," Scot said, gaining his father’s attention.While they waited for their order, his father drew his seat closer to him."Go ahead, my son," he said.Scot's finger clapped the table in front of him, his expression lost and
Scot spent the night in one of his father's mansions, where he was treated like a prince. The house was so large that it could house a whole community. There were housekeepers on duty at all times to attend to Scot. The chef prepared many meals for him upon his arrival last night, and a warm shower awaited him. It made Scot feel so good, something he hasn’t been able to feel in a very long time.The mansion’s interior was well furnished with modern amenities and the paintings on the wall completed the color of the curtains. When he was shown his room, he couldn’t believe how large it was because it looked larger than Jane’s parents living room and dining joined together. It could fit an entire family.Scot's new life is so great that he has forgotten about the difficult times. Scot even slept like a baby under the cool air conditioner for the first time in his life. He was so deep in in the sleep that it was his phone's ringing that woke him up."Good morning, son, how are you?" Mr.
"Hey, Mr. Manager, are you going to fire me as well?" One of the employees inquired humorously as everyone laughed at Scot.They all take him as a joke or to be more precise, they take him as a laughing stock. "I promise that you all will lose your jobs today," Scot remarked, his face expressionless.Everyone continued laughing at how silly he sounded and continued to humiliate him. He ignored the lashes and urged Jason and the security guards to leave the office and never return."Who are you to tell me what I ought to do?" Scot was aggressively pushed by a member of these security crew. Scot ignored him and repeatedly shook his head.A coworker stepped towards the receptionist table then asked in a mocking tone. "How can a common cleaner sack me?" everyone burst out laughing loudly at Scot.They took him for a cleaner, and he just can't wait to show them that the person who they take for a cleaner is more than just a mere cleaner Jane was embarrassed by Scot. Jason, on the other
The senior manager's loud voice grabbed the attention of everyone in the workplace. She dashed down the stairs, breathing heavily like a hound being hunted. Her heels continued to hit each step of the stairway. Her expression indicated that something is amiss and there was trouble. She immediately gets down and walks towards Scot, who was being held roughly by two security guards as if he was a thief."Get your hands off him, you fool," Mrs. Costa screamed at both security guards.Everyone was confused by what was going on. Scot was released by the two security guards and Mrs. Costa cradled Scot and attempted to straighten him out.Mrs. Costa implored, her lips shaking in panic, "I'm sorry sir, I apologize sir."Everyone was stunned. They were all taken aback by the Senior Manager's attitude."What's going on?" one of the staff members inquired. Everyone continued to whisper to themselves. "Why is she calling Scot sir?" Another member of staff murmured.As they watched Mrs. Costa cl
Jane felt horrible about how she mistreated and spoke to Scot, she was overcome with remorse and had no idea how to approach him.After a while, she mustered the confidence to approach Scot and beg forgiveness. As she walked around the workplace, she noticed Scot inside his father's office, with his father seated beside him."What do you want, betrayer?" Scot was enraged at the sight of Jane.Jane promptly knelt in shame, holding Scot's left leg in tears, saying, "I'm sorry, my love, please forgive me." Jane begged, her eyes welling up with tears. Scot displayed no remorse and was unmoved by Jane's sobs."So now I'm your love… did you consider love when you and your mother mistreated me?" Scot yelled angrily. His face was held hate but the pain somehow overcame it. Jane was still on the floor, sobbing like a baby who had been thrashed by his mother. She refused to leave Scot without getting a positive response from him."It was the devil's work… my mother duped me," Jane explained b
Scot walked into a fancy store after leaving his father's workplace. Everyone looked at him oddly as he stepped into the shop because of how harsh he appeared. Scot greets the salesgirl he saw, "Good day ma'am." Scot was given a snide glance by the lady who looked like she didn’t want to attend to him but she came from behind the counter and stood in front of him."You need to leave now sir." She stares disgustingly at him then looked back into his eyes. “We don’t have cheap clothes for homeless people here.” she spat proudly and she felt delighted to be insulting the lady.Scot was irritated by her sudden harsh words to him. She didn’t even know who he was and was already talking in this manner.Scot ignored her harsh words and answered her "I need something that looks good on me." He walked further into the shop and she walked quickly in front of him to stop him from going further.Still baring the odd look, she said "Mr. Man!" She exclaimed in complete disgust. "We don't have a
The bell above the boutique’s entrance chimed as Scot walked in, the sound echoing in the luxurious, marble-floored showroom. His entrance had been less than dignified, his earlier humiliation still fresh in his mind. Despite the situation, he was determined to make a statement, to reclaim a fragment of his shattered self-respect. The store was a sanctuary of high fashion and opulence, with every inch meticulously curated to reflect sophistication. But today, the elegance of the space did little to soothe Scot’s wounded pride. The boutique manager, a middle-aged man with a silver streak in his neatly combed hair, approached Scot with an anxious expression. His suit, though expensive, seemed to constrict with the gravity of the situation. "Mr. Frankenstein," he began, his tone laced with an earnestness that cut through the tension, "I’d like to extend my sincerest apologies for the behavior of my staff earlier. It was entirely unacceptable." Scot looked up, surprised by the manager'
