Autumn in October, fallen leaves ttered on the roadside, the city of Oxford.

The whole scene is orange with twilight decorations

There was a beautiful white woman, with shoulder-length blonde hair carrying her bicycle.

She is Alice Nelson. A 35-year-old woman who now works as a waitress in a city restaurant. Meanwhile, her husband is an artist.

Alice started to park her bicycle, then she hurried towards the house.

Unlike usual, the door of the house was locked. Usually, in the afternoon, her husband is always at home.

"What, Carlos, out?" she says. And without hesitation, Alice reached for the spare key that was in her pocket.

Ceklek!

She managed to open the door of the house.

Alice faintly heard someone from inside her private room.

It sounded like Carlos' voice, but it seemed

like Carlos wasn't alone.

Alice felt very curious and she walked towards him.

From behind the bedroom door, the sound grew louder, like a small bang and counter-breathing.

'Carlos..... Alice pressed her ear to the side of the door.

She didn't open the door right away, she wanted to confirm what she heard from outside.

"A little more! Come on a little more, Aaah

ahh. A woman's voice

Even Carlos made a sound the same sigh

Alice couldn't take it anymore, she immediately opened the bedroom door.

Ceklek!

A pair of ***** men and women looked surprised

Their positions are facing each other, men below, and women sitting above them.

Alice stared at him blankly, her face expressionless, clear beads flowing slowly from her eyes. "Alice!" Carlos said as he got up and grabbed his clothes.

He left the woman he had just made love to.

Carlos immediately hugged Alice's body.

"Alice, I'm sorry," he said with a very sorry face

-Alice slapped her husband's hand away, then the heartbroken woman slapped Carlos in the face

Plak!

"Bastard!" she cursed.

Carlos shook his head while scratching his head which wasn't itching.

While the woman who is currently on the

bed looks scared.

She didn't have time to pick up her clothes that were scattered on the floor, the woman just covered herself with a thick blanket. Alice walked over to the woman.

"So this is what you're doing behind my back?" Alice asked breathlessly.

"Sorry, Alice," she said tearfully.

Her name is Caroline, she is Alice's best friend.

They have been friends since college, and their relationship is very close.

Caroline is Alice's best friend, even Alice already considers Caroline, like a sister.

She was Alice's most comfortable place when she poured out all her complaints.

Alice did not hesitate to share all the problems she had with Carlos.

Including her household relationship which she has lived for 10 years but has not been blessed with offspring. All this time, Alice never expected that her husband's close relationship with Caroline would end up cheating. She never expected that Carlos and Caroline, often chatted together and even a few times, Alice caught her husband holding Caroline's hand affectionately.

She thought their relationship was just a Painting Artist and his model.

But it turns out he was wrong.

"You are evil, Carol! You are a savage

friend cursed Alice.

"Sorry, Alice. Sorry." Caroline looked down, she slowly left the bed and then she walked towards Alice, still with the blanket covering her whole body.

Even so, Carol tried to hug Alice's body,

apologizing to her.

"Shut up!" said Alice.

I don't want to be hugged Bitch like you he snapped

Carol looked down and tears streamed down

her face

"Alice, I'm sorry." The beautiful wornan with brown eyes repeated her words over and

over.

But Alice was already very angry.

Alice picked up the scissors lying on the

table in the room

Then Alice stabbed the scissors at Caroline, but Carlos stopped her. He parried the scissors with his forearm so

that the scissors hit Carlos's arm.

Alice was surprised by Carlos' heroic attitude towards Caroline. The lady gels angry, she throws all the things

"ALL OF YOU, ****" she cursed in a

high-pitched voice. Kluntang!

Jars, picture frames, and other items were

strewn across the floor

Carlos looked in pain and slowly pulled the

scissors stuck in his hand slowly.

Fresh blood flowed, it was very painful,

but he didn't have the slightest desire to

retaliate against Alice's actions.

He realized that this was all his and Carol's fault.

All this time Alice had always believed in

him and sincerely loved him, but Carlos had

an affair.

A few minutes passed, Alice stopped her

anger

She sat on the floor, with countless tears

She did feel very angry and disapproved of what her husband and best friend had done, but she was slowly starting to let go.

For a moment she glanced at Carlos who was still hugging the terrified Caroline

It seemed that Carlos loved the woman.

Alice slowly got up, then packed all her things.

"Alice!" Carlos shouted, then he let go of Caroline and hugged Alice from behind.

"What would you do? Carlos asked.

Alice didn't budge, her face still blank

"Please forgive me, give me a chance, and 1 will make things right, Carlos said. Alice raised her face and looked at Carlos with a sharp gaze

"Repair? her breath hitched again. "What do you want to fix? Alice gripped Carlos by the collar roughly.

"You need to know if a broken mirror can't be whole again, even if it's repaired! There will still be scars that will never go away! hard.

"Alice" Carlos' voice grew weaker

Alice raised her hand and was about to hit Carlos, even Caroline could only remain silent while biling her nails in fear

But before she could do so, Alice's body suddenly weakened, and her eyes quickly closed.

"Alice! Carlos shouted as he caught Alice's unconscious body. Carlos picked up his wife's body and laid

With a panicked face, he tried to wake his

wife.

her on the bed.

Meanwhile, Caroline was silent and just stared at him with an expression of fear and regret.

"Arrrgghhh! Carlos held his arm, the blood was flowing, and it hurt even more. Then the man's body also went limp and passed out.

Because the wound on Carlos' arm was quite severe, Caroline finally called her uncle who is a doctor.

The wound on Carlos' hand had been treated, and not long after that Alice also

woke up from her stupor Caroline immediately approached her friend.

"Alice in, are you okay?" asked Caroline

Alice turned her head away, it seemed she was quite fed up with seeing Carol's face. "You're still mad at me?" asked Caroline

Alice smiled faintly with a sinister face

"So what do you think?" she asked.

Caroline lowered her head, it was

inappropriate for her to ask Alice that.

Because, certainly, Alice will not forgive her

Even if she was in Alice's position, she would surely do the same. "Carol, do you love my husband?" she asked

Caroline didn't budge, she was afraid she would get the wrong answer, and again provoked Alice's wrath.

"Answer me, Carol!" she shouted. But Carol still wouldn't answer. She was crying again.

"Huuft. I still can't believe that the only person I trust is a traitor! So since I already know your rottenness with my husband, you better admit whatever you've been hiding from me all this time!" Alice insisted.

Alice grabbed Caroline's chin.

"Carol, since when did you like my husband?" she asked. For a moment Alice glanced at Carlos who was still lying on the sofa

"Come on, answer! Do you want me to get mad again and do crazy things?! Alice threatened. Finally, Caroline said it all.

It was time for her to reveal her secret with Carlos, which she had been hiding from Alice.

"I liked Carlos from the first time we met, you remember last year's Christmas Eve?" asked Caroline

"Well, I remember!" Alice answered

"At that time Carlos was looking for a Christmas present for you, I met him at the gift shop, I saw Carlos was very busy choosing items. At that time I realized he was your husband, I realized it because you often take pictures and put them on your social media, said Caroline, who seemed unfinished.

"So?" Alice asked, she couldn't wait to hear what happened next.

"Then I ventured up to him, we got acquainted, and I told him I was your best friend, I even helped him choose a gift for you. After that, we chatted while enjoying a cup of coffee in the cafeteria not far from the shop,

Caroline took a deep breath, then continued her story

"After that, we exchanged cell phone numbers, and our relationship slowly became closer. It turns out that Carlos is a nice person to talk to, he also often talks about you. Even when I met and you introduced Carlos to me, actually I already knew him, but I pretended I didn't know. And you know...

"What?" Alice raised her head again.

"After you offered me as a model, in his art. At that time I couldn't take it anymore and told Carlos openly about my interest. And unexpectedly, he reciprocated my feelings, concluded Caroline. Alice's feelings heated up again, "Gosh," she

rubbed her forehead

"And you know, Alice, if the truth is, Carlos doesn't love you, he's dissatisfied with your service. You're too busy with your job as a Restaurant Waiter that you ignore it. Finally, Carlos look it all out on me, he said I'm more attractive, I'm sexier And that It's only natural since I'm a model and you- Caroline glanced at Alice's body

"You never take care of your appearance! You are-"

'Plak!

Alice landed a slap on Caroline's face

"You and Bastard, it's a perfect match! You can take it!" said Alice and then she left the house.

It didn't feel like a week had passed, Alice and Carlos had never spoken to each other.

Carlos wanted to talk to her, but Alice always ignored him. After returning from the restaurant where she works, Alice sometimes stops by her sister, Bella's house

Even Alice didn't come home a few times because she was staying there Alice really wants to leave the house and live with Bella, but unfortunately, Bella is married and already has 2 children, Daniel and Diana

Alice doesn't want to disturb Bella, she understands how difficult Bella's life is, especially Bella's husband, Archer, who seems to be attracted to Alice.

Archer had tried to approach her several times.

It was just, Alice, trying not to respond to Archer's feelings, she knew very well how it hurt to be betrayed and she didn't want Bella to have the same experience as her.

Therefore Alice plans to leave the city of Oxford. Maybe then she could live in peace. Alice has contacted her best friend, Felix.

Currently, the man lives in London, Alice's relationship with him is also quite good, just like the relationship with Carol used to be

"Hello, Felix, I'm leaving for London next week. Have you asked about the apartment there? Alice asked over the phone.

"Yes, I have a place to live for you, not an apartment, but a private house for rent," Felix explained.

"Huh! Isn't that expensive?! How can I have enough money, even I have to find a new job there?"

"Relax, Alice, the rent for this house is very cheap, even the owner said you can occupy it first if you don't have enough money," "Really? Are you sure?"

"Of course, I came directly and met the owner!" said Felix

Although it seemed almost absurd by Felix's explanation of the owner of the house, Alice was delighted.

A smile spread across Alice's face. She immediately rushed to Bella to say

goodbye.

"Bella" she is screaming.

"Yes! Bella came out of the kitchen still in her apron and carrying a butcher knife.

"I'm going to London next week!" she says.

"Really? But- Bella seemed to object.

Thank you, Bella, for the past few days. you've accommodated me, and hearing all my complaints, you are the single best sister in the world!" said Alice enthusiastically.

"But are you sure you'll be okay there? You don't know anyone there?!"

"No, Bella. I have a friend there, he is very

nice, and I'm sure he's not as bad as Carol!

Alice reassured her sister.

"Ah fine if that's what you want, but be

careful there? Bella said and the woman's eyes filled with tears.

"Yes, I'll take care of myself," Alice said as

hugged her sister.

Alice left the house with a cheerful expression on her face, while Archer, Bella's husband, continued to stare at her. The man didn't seem to want to see Alice Leave this town.

Alice opened the door of her house, she had just finished packing her things.

Two weeks after the incident, she couldn't stand being in this house anymore The house that Carlos had originally bought for her as a wedding anniversary gift in the 8th year. Now will be abandoned

Alice had divorced Carlos, 8 days after the Incident

As we know divorce in the UK does not take as long as in other countries in general

It just has to have sufficient criteria, such as evidence of infidelity, pressure, violence, or others.

And Alice already has proof of Carlos'

affair, she's not even demanding money or anything from Carlos, they don't have kids yet, so there's no child custody struggle slowing down the divorce process. The divorce proceedings, Alice and Carlos, only look a day on the court table, not even more than an hour

Honestly, from the bottom of her heart, there is a little heavy feeling when thinking about the fate of her household, Alire has to bury the good memories with Carlos

Alice had wanted to leave this house since thal darb day. But she didn't know where her feet would go, so she held on for these

two weeks. And now it was time for Alice to fly free

like a wild bird.

For a moment she stopped her steps with a little breath because she was pulling such a heavy suitcase

"Huftt Alice rolled her eyes. "I hope, I can pass my days in peace there," she said.

Just then Carlos arrived, along with Caroline

He had just returned from the doctor with Caroline, lo re-examine the wound on his arm. Because there is irritation from the wound that begins to dry. "Alice" he shouted,

while letting go of Caroline's hand that was wrapped around her shoulder

"Where are you going?" Carlos asked.

"None of your business!" said Alice

"You are my wife!" Carlos said.

"Wife?" Alice smiled faintly

"Don't dream, because we are divorced"

"But-"

"Aish!" Alice hissed in annoyance then brushed Carlos' hand away

Carlos was about to chase after her bul Caroline stopped him.

She took Carlos' hand then shook her head, signaling 'no'

Carlos just stared blankly at Alice leaving. He still willing to let go of the woman who had accompanied him for these 10 years But this was Alice's decision, she had to respect it, after all, it was Carlos fault for having an affair.

Now that Alice was on the city bus, the bus started moving, and at that moment, Alice's tears started to fall again.

Memories of Carlos greeted her again, where he proposed to her with a diamond ring. Carlos prostrated himself in front of Alice with a ring from his pocket "Will you marry me?"

Alice smiled full of emotion, witnessed by her family and friends who attended Carlos' birthday party, she accepted Carlos' proposal.

Since then, her love life with Carlos lasts. They hardly ever fought until the wedding day arrived.

Even during 9 years of being married, their life was still fine, until, in the tenth year, their relationship began to falter, because of the arrival of Caroline.

They should have celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary on October 30, but fate said otherwise because this year would be the end of their relationship. It didn't feel like 3 hours had passed, the bus had stopped.

Through a journey of 65 miles, she didn't Teel like she only had time to think about Carlos

The man she should have forgotten about.

Arriving there, Alice immediately contacted

Felix, and soon Felix came to Alice.

A man wearing jeans and a long-sleeved t-shirt approached her.

"Hey, Felix!" said Alice.

"Hi! How long has it been?" Felix asked. "About 10 minutes ago," Alice replied.

They hugged for a moment to unwind, then sal in a cafe

"I didn't expect Carol to be like that, even though you've always been good friends," Felix said, sipping a cup of coffee

"Ah, forget her, I don't want to talk about the Bitch, snapped Alice

"Ah, well," Felix suppressed his curiosity, out of respect for Alice.

After returning from the cafe, Alice stopped by Felix's apartment, she stayed there one night, the next day, Felix invited Alice to come to the house he meant. "Are you sure this is his house? Alice

asked.

"Yes," replied Felix

A medium-sized house, located on the outskirts of London.

The house wasn't too fancy, and it wasn't too

bad either, but it was comfortable enough

to live in.

Alice couldn't believe that she had gotten a

new place to live for such a cheap price.

On the same day, Alice cleaned the house and arranged her not so lots of things. Alice only brought all the clothes she needed and a few things she thought were important.

"I think I'm done helping you clean this house, and I have to go home soon because tonight I have an appointment with someone, Felix said. "All right, go ahead, and thanks for your

help, Felix, Alice said. Felix nodded and smiled

"Don't forget, tomorrow you come to the restaurant where I work, I've spoken to my boss, and on that day you can go straight to work," he said.

Alice looked happy, hearing Felix's words, again Felix helped her. Even for work.

"Thank you, Felix, thank you," Alice hugged Felix again.

She doesn't know what will happen if she doesn't meet Felix.

It turns out that not all friends are bad, the proof is Felix is like a kind angel to her.

It was getting dark, Alice began to close the door of the house.

Today the wind was blowing a bit hard and brought dry leaves littering her yard. Alice was about to close the curtains on the windows of the house, but from behind the window, she saw a beautiful woman. walking towards her house.

Alice was silent, she was still watching the woman from the window.

Then the woman knocked on the door.

Tok!

Just one knock, but Alice had already opened the door.

'Ceklek!

"Ah, hello," the woman greeted kindly.

Although slightly hesitant, Alice also smiled.

"Hello too, good night," she said.

The woman brought a cup of hot tea on a tray and several packets of typical country snacks. "Thank you," said Alice.

"May I come in?"

"Of course, please,"

The woman entered the house, while Alice

walked behind.

But Alice paused for a moment when she saw the bloodstain on the woman's clothes.
