How could Christina break up with him when he just ended his marriage with his wife of twenty-two years? He must admit, after hearing the blonde telling him that they were over, he thought his head was about to explode but then again he thought she wouldn’t break up with him. What they had was special and extraordinary and nothing would keep them apart. Christina Kennard was all his. If she said that there was nothing going on between her and Dean Collins then he believed her. He was starting to relax now and a few minutes later, he fell to a deep sleep.

Richard didn’t know for how long he had slept but when he opened his eyes the sky was gloomy an indication that it was about to rain. He noticed a few cars were parked which was somewhat unusual for a Monday morning. He glanced at his watch and cursed when he realized that it was already past five in the afternoon! It meant that he had slept for nine hours and he knew that Christina’s classes normally ended at four pm. He cursed at himself for falling asleep and he thought that there’s no way to catch the blonde at the campus anymore so he just decided to go to her apartment.

Driving like a maniac, he reached the blonde’s place in fifteen minutes. Richard loved to surprise the blonde but she hated it. She didn’t want him coming over to her apartment unannounced and he made it perfectly clear to him that she would rather have their secret liaisons somewhere else like a hotel or his house when his wife was not around.

But today was different. Today he would ask Christina to move in with him and he’ll do everything and anything to expedite the divorce process so he and Christina could get married right away.

With his secret spare key, he unlocked the door and carefully opened it. The apartment was dark so he figured that maybe Christina was sleeping. He walked towards the bedroom and smiled when he noticed that it was slightly ajar. A rush of excitement went thru through him, he couldn’t wait to see his sweet and beautiful Christina so he could have her in his arms. As he was walking closer to the window, he heard strange noise.
