You had been doubting his promises for some time. Based on the stories your friends had told you, doubts, nightmares, and thoughts began to gnaw at you in a horrible way. You didn't want to believe the worst about the man you considered the love of your life.

During those years, he was one of the only people who was there for you. I love you, I desire you, I respect you in a way that NO ONE ever had. You felt valued, even though you always found it strange how expensive and extravagant the gifts he would bring you for no reason seemed. "He's just thoughtful," you thought at the time.

That night you were very happy; you were celebrating almost six years together (you'd been engaged for two). You baked a cake using the few cooking classes you'd taken especially for this day. You wore a beautiful dress he had bought for you, lovely bracelets, necklaces, and the gorgeous diamond engagement ring.

As you walked towards his office to invite him to dinner, you stopped at the door when you heard him talking on the phone.

"She prepared dinner and a cake. It's totally ridiculous... I find it way too intense."

You heard him say it with a slight laugh, as he sighed, leaning back calmly on his desk, laughing at the response from the voice on the other end.

"I can't wait to be with you. Shall we meet tomorrow? I'll come pick you up, and we'll go to the beach house. Bring Seun."
