AISLINN MARIE ESPOSITO

"Do you remember?" Amelie asked but I was too shocked to respond.

"Ash" Amelie called and I looked at her. She stared at me with sad eyes.

All this time. While I kept on blaming Darius but he wasn't at fault but rather I was. I caused all this in our marriage.

I betrayed him. I betrayed my family.

"Does my father know?" I asked Amelie who shook her head at me.

"Yeah everyone actually knows except Kaiser. Darius didn't want him to know about it because he is your father and didn't want to ruin your relationship. We were all waiting for you to realise that yourself. I'm sorry Ash" she said.

"No it's not your fault. It's mine. I was the one who caused all this. I cheated on him" I said as tears left my eyes.

Now everything makes sense. How he will just make up stories.

"You didn't do it intentionally" Amelie said.

"I did. I did it intentionally. I did cheat on him" I cried as she hugged me.

"It's okay Ash" she patted my head.

"I need to go, I am sorry about the cup. I will pay for it" I said.

"No don't worry. I will talk to you later. Take care" she hugged me lightly as I picked up my bag and left with the events of February 8 running through my head.

I need to speak to Darius.

I got into my car and drove towards his workplace. I went inside and he was in a meeting so I decided to wait for him until he was done.

But how come I didn't remember anything?

I am a monster. I should have died years ago. I will forever be a monster.

After an hour or two the door opened and Darius walked in and immediately he saw me his face hardened.

"What are you doing here again Aislinn?" He asked and I couldn't help but burst into tears.

"What's with the tears now?" He asked.

"I'm sorry Darius. It's all my fault. I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you. Please forgive me" I cried but all he did was stare at me blankly.

"If you are done with your acting leave my office now" he said with a clenched jaw.

"Please I'm really sorry. I didn't know. I am really sorry. I blamed you for everything but it was all my fault. I…please forgive me" I cried falling down on my knees.

"What the hell are you doing Aislinn? Get up and leave now" he said.

"No please tell me you forgive me. Please. I really am sorry. Look if you like I will sign the divorce papers for you. Please forgive me" I cried looking down on the floor.

My vision had been blurred by my tears.

I felt a hand grab my shoulders lifting me up.

"Get up Aislinn" Darius said helping me up.

"Please forgive me Darius. I know I just you so bad and I regret it a lot now. Please forgive me" I continued to cry as he wiped my tears.

"Stop crying" he said softly.

Why is he acting so nice towards me?

"Darius pl-"

"Will you shut up for a minute?" He asked quite frustrated making me shut up.

I looked into his eyes and all I could see was pain. Pain I caused.

"We need to talk Aislinn" he said looking into my eyes.

"Okay" I sniffed wiping my face.

So that's what we did we talked and I couldn't help the guilt I felt throughout because now I know everything was my fault and Mariah was only helping him out with everything.

"Look I am not going to seek for a divorce because I care about the girls a lot and I don't want Alessia hating you again but I want you to know that what we had before will now longer be there. You are only the mother of Alessia and Ezlynn to me henceforth. You and I are done forever" he said making all the blood drain from my face.

"Before you speak again, I have forgiven you Aislinn but nothing is going to remain the same between us" he said.

I should understand him because it's all my fault.

Before I could speak Darius' phone rang and he picked up immediately like he didn't want to speak to me again and I do understand that.

"I'll be there soon. Okay bye" he said disconnecting the call.

"Go back home Aislinn I have to get back to work" he said walking out of the office leaving me there. I need to see my dad now maybe he might know something I could do.

I cleaned my face and left Darius'office and headed towards my Dad's home and thankfully when I arrived he was there.

"Daddy" I cried as I saw him throwing myself into his arms.

"Princess what's wrong?" Dad asked pulling away looking at me with worry.

"Dad I did something bad" I said.

"What did you do I will help you fix it" he said as he led me to sit down.

"Dad it's my fault.my marriage got broken" I cried as he hugged me.

"What are you saying? Darius is the reason everything happened. What did he tell you?" Dad asked furiously as I shook my head.

"No he did nothing it was all my fault. I cause him to do that. He didn't cheat on me with Mariah. He only did that because I betrayed him Dad. I-I cheated on Darius Dad. I am a bad person. I am a monster. I don't deserve to be called a mother" I cried as he hugged me.

"Don't cry princess. Everything will be okay" he said to me as I continued to cry in his arms.

"Dad he said there is never going to be anything between us again and that he is only keeping me around for the sake of Alessia and Ezzy" I said.

"Don't cry everything will be alright. All this will slide soon. I am disappointed in you though but you are still my daughter before everything and I will always be your shoulder to cry on. I will talk to Darius don't worry but just give him some time everything will be alright" Dad said trying his best to soothe me.

I am never going to forgive myself for this.
