Desmond sat alone in the dim corner of his bedroom, head bowed, and fingers trembling as they tangled in his messy hair.
His eyes were bloodshot and heavy as he stared blankly at the floor, wishing he could go back in time and rewrite his wrong.
His shoulders hunched, as though his guilt of his infidelity had grown teeth and was now gnawing into his bones.
The silence around him was deafening, filled only by the weight of his own breath and the echoes of his children angry voices.
"If only I could make things right. If only I never chose to betray you. If only I never let greed control me. I'm so sorry...." He wept bitterly whispering apologies to no one.
Harriet had long left the house with the kids after giving him a bitter taste of her anger and madness.
But before she left, she gave him an ultimatum.
He had the option of either betraying Matt and ending his toxic relationship with the evil gang or kissing their marriage and kids goodbye.
