Episode 5

...XAVIER AMERY...

My mother's words circled in my mind. I loved my wife and had blind faith that this was merely a result of the depression she was experiencing due to her drastic change, but if that wasn't it, I would have to consider divorce.

She rejected her own child and I felt deeply hurt.

My mother said something else that left me pondering...

"I had DNA tests done, I don't trust her," she said, and I looked at her, astonished.

"Mother, please, I don't distrust her in that way, he's my son, can't you see the resemblance?" I challenged her.

"That doesn't matter, and it's better to be sure. If she's capable of rejecting the child, there's no telling what else that... woman is capable of," she said with utter contempt.

Eventually, my wife and child were discharged from the hospital. Upon her return, she began to watch her diet as before she got pregnant, counting calories precisely to not gain weight, but on the contrary, to lose it.

She rejected our child and sometimes I found her crying anxiously, which reinforced my theory about depression.

I still saw her as beautiful, but if I told her what I thought, she would become more agitated. We couldn't talk about anything, and mealtime was also a big problem because it enraged me that she wouldn't even breastfeed our child, knowing the health benefits he gained from it.

I offered her to participate in the fashion show for the new sports clothing line, and she refused categorically, leaving me to dine alone.

I woke up in the wee hours to feed our little one and take care of him. I hoped she would have maternal instincts by the time I returned to work, but with each passing week, I realized that wasn't going to happen.

I hired two nannies to help me while my wife focused on regaining her perfect body.

I returned to work and every time I came home exhausted, my beloved wife wasn't there. She began to spend hours at the best aesthetic center in the city, something that I paid for.

As a man, I believed that when she felt ready, we would have sex, but it didn't happen. She wore the clothes she used to put on, and to me, she looked the same, but she continued to find faults with her body and distanced herself from me in the process.

Finally, the miracle happened and I tried my best to satisfy her even with the insecurity her comment about my past performance caused me. She didn't seem happy, and at the end, she looked displeased.

"Was this why you sought me out so many times? You're pathetic," her comment left me speechless.

"Do you have someone else? Is that it?" I asked seriously, and she let out a laugh full of sarcasm.

"Believe me, I'm considering it. You're so dull, you live for work, and here your performance is questionable," each word from her lips struck me accurately without mercy.

"You cheat and forget about our son and me," I warned, getting dressed to go to our child, but her comment stopped me.

"Don't threaten me, the child would stay with you, I have to continue with my life and the career his birth ruined for me," she said with a cynical smile, I held back from responding before bursting with rage.

She’s nothing but heartless. Every day her cold attitude surprises me more. I even consider granting her the divorce, but the desire for my son to grow up in a family environment annihilates all thought.

.

.

MONTHS LATER...

Each day our son looks more like me, but she refuses to form any bond with him. I've never seen her hold him or heard her sing a song to him, not even talk to him.

My relationship with her is breaking more each day, I never believed she could be so cold and inhuman in a way.

We haven't been intimate for months when before it was a common occurrence between us. She began to work and started disappearing from the house constantly. The nannies always tell me what's happening while I'm engrossed in my work because we have so many projects at the moment.

I got used to dining alone, I'm more than disappointed, is this why I got married? I would rather have remained single if, in the end, it would be the same.

I received an audio message from my wife: "Honey, don't wait up for me tonight, I'm going out with the girls to celebrate," she said with all her sarcasm, none of her words' warmth was left.

We haven't even been married for two years and already we are in this situation.

My brother made a special trip so that we could talk face to face; he loathes my wife.

"When you decide to ask that useless woman for a divorce, my friend will handle it for you and will strip her of any rights over my nephew," he said calmly.

"I want to save my marriage," I claimed, the last thing I desire is to fail.

"There's nothing to save, what you have is not a marriage, and I've heard rumors that she's being unfaithful. You should hire a reliable investigator," he suggested with utmost seriousness.

Alarms went off, infidelity would explain her outings, all the absences, our lack of sexual activity.

She used to be a passionate woman, fiery, who couldn't stand much abstinence, but now she never desires me.
