Nothing like this had ever happened to me, even during my college relationships. So, I’d never thought I’d be the kind of woman to cause a scene. But my body moved out of its own accord.
In a flash, I was right at their table and my outburst made them both jump. « Logan, are you serious right now?! » I barked.
My husband looked up, confused and startled for one second. But soon, I saw relief hit his face and worst of all, his expression turned into a smirk.

« Natasha, well, finally, » he said with that stupid grin still on his face. The girl beside him, Brenda, smiled in return and looked up at me like she’d won.
« Logan, » I tried to speak, not even knowing what I would say, but he interrupted me.
« Look, Natasha. It’s better that now you know. I don’t have to keep hiding it, » he said carelessly. « I’m in love with someone else. We’re done. It’s over. »
Just like that. No hesitation. No remorse. I wanted to scream, cry, slap him across his smug face, but somehow, I just stood there, numb.

Suddenly, Lola took my arm, muttering something about how Logan would regret this one day, and guided me outside.
I didn’t even notice when she drove my car straight to her apartment until she sat me on her bed, where I finally broke down.
The next morning, after barely any sleep, I decided to go home and confront him. Maybe he’d come to his senses.
But when I pulled up to our house, the sight that greeted me felt like discovering his cheating all over again.

There, on the front lawn, were all my things — scattered, as if they were trash. Clothes, photo frames, even my old college textbooks, just tossed out without a second thought.
And there he was, standing on the porch with Brenda by his side, smiling like he’d just won the lottery. I got out of my car feeling the numbness take over, and walked slowly to them.
Logan got right to the point. « I don’t think I need to remind you, but this house belongs to my grandfather, and you have no claim to it, » he sneered while my face remained blank. « You’re out. Get your stuff and leave. Now. »

I stood there, fully numb, as his words sank in. Aside from cheating and dumping me, he was kicking me out of my own house. And the worst part? He looked like he was enjoying every second of it.
Still, I tried to keep my composure. No way was I giving him the satisfaction of seeing me break down. So I just started gathering my things, shoving clothes and random belongings into the trunk of my car. But the humiliation burned deep.
Instead of going inside like Logan, Brenda stayed on the porch and watched me. She couldn’t even hide her amusement. When I glanced up, she decided to put salt in my wound.

« I can’t wait to redecorate this house, » she sighed happily, crossing her arms. « It’s all old lady stuff, and so ugly. »
My face stayed blank. I was trying to think of anything of mine that might remain inside as I loaded stuff into my car. It was a simple sedan, so I definitely needed another trip.
Hopefully, Lola wouldn’t mind me staying with her for a while. But as I mulled over these things to keep from showing any emotion or breaking down again, I heard it: the rumble of a car pulling up behind me.
