CHAPTER 3

It has been almost two months passed since Bryan and Sylvia decided to have an affair. They had became closer to each other in all those times. The loneliness is the main force that drove them together more. After all, they were just two lonely people; ignored and forgotten making the best of each other's company; making each other felt good.

Bryan, all the more grateful for Sylvia's presence. Unknowingly to her, she had pulled Bryan out of the darkness of his thoughts. He hasn't forgotten about Katherine, he was still hurting and there were no signs of healing just yet but looking at Sylvia; being with Sylvia has made him calm and sometimes he could pushed Katherine out of his mind for a while.

He felt close to Sylvia that sometimes he thought he could fall in love with her.

Sylvia too has felt less lonely being with Bryan. Her anger towards Jem has subsided leaving only indifference and acceptance of her situation. Didn't matter now whether Jem would come home or not, didn't matter now whether he would talk to her or not. Sylvia was grateful too for her uncomplicated relationship with Bryan.

Complications, that was the real reason why Sylvia avoided affair before. She had decided to never again enter any kind of relationship be it an affair or straight up dating. She had enough of man and how they treated her. She had enough of emotional turmoil any relationship at some point would caused. She could never again risked her heart for anyone. Jem had done her for good.

Now with Bryan, Sylvia felt that she was secured from any deep feeling. She knew how much dedicated Bryan to Katherine, he could never loved any other woman, Katherine had done him good.

It was Friday night, Bryan noticed something wrong when he entered Sylvia's hotel room. The minute he stepped foot inside, he saw how red Sylvia's eyes and they were swollen - clearly she had been crying.

"Is there something wrong?" asked Bryan as he rushed to Sylvia.

"Nothing's wrong," said Sylvia shortly and proceeded to take off her clothes.

"Clearly you've been crying. Your eyes are all swollen," Bryan was adamant and seemed undistracted from all the clothes that have been off of Sylvia's body. He wanted answer and for Sylvia to sometimes opened up to him.

"Are these a deal breaker to you?" Sylvia pointed to her swollen eyes. "Should I inject myself with more Botox to make it more appealing to you?"

"Sylvia, I just want you to tell me what's happening with your life that made you cry like this. You know you can talk to me, I'm not just some guy you fucked on a one night stand!"

"That is exactly what you are to me,"

"Is that true?"

"I just said so,"

"Fine, I'll leave," Bryan was pretty angry at the time and walked fast to the door.

"Go! Leave me like he did! You all are just the same shit!" Screamed Sylvia after she threw an ashtray to the door that just been closed.

Bryan heard her screaming and the ashtray being slammed to the door. He rushed back in and without saying anything held Sylvia in his arm tightly.

"I'm sorry," whispered Bryan softly.

Nothing more to be said afterwards. Bryan kissed Sylvia and slipped his hand on her thighs. He pushed her into the bed. The sex was on fire that night.

The night went on as Bryan and Sylvia panting away in their hotel room, out of breath, out of energy. Not long after Sylvia fell asleep while Bryan laid beside her, looking at the ceiling thinking about how he could help her get out of her crappy marriage.

"Why don't you file a divorce?" asked Bryan out of the blue during breakfast the next morning.

"I got prenup. If he found out I'm cheating on him, I get nothing. If I can prove that he's cheating on me I got half the money," Sylvia suddenly laughed. "What a stupid girl I was to agree to such prenup!"

"Don't you want to find the prove?"

"Do you know how many PI I have hired in the past but they all turned at me. He paid more,"

Bryan became quiet. He was thinking of the way that he could help her. Somehow he thought she'll be with him when the divorce is settled although Bryan still wasn't sure about his feeling for Sylvia. But he thought, it's nice to be with someone rather than being alone.

So, Bryan worked on his plan to stake out his boss, Jem Waldorf. He went out when the boss went out. Bryan didn't even care about his attendance anymore. His work were all neglected. At first he thought that the stake out would be easy but it has been weeks of nothing and he has been given 2 warnings from the HR about his unattended work.

Bryan ignored them all and kept pursuing Jem. Well, his determination finally paid off. Jem went out of the office one day before lunch time, got into his car and drove all the way to a suburban area. With so much effort Bryan and the taxi driver caught up with Jem without being noticed. Jem went inside the house, welcomed by a young girl of 20 - he presumed - and do you know who is that girl? She was the daughter of Jem's old secretary Mrs. Johnson.

Bryan got out his phone and took a picture of Jem and the girl having sex in that girl's all pink bedroom. Unsatisfied with his photo, Bryan planned to steal Jem's phone, who knows what he might find in that little device.

In the afternoon Jem went back to the office and Bryan was looking for an opportunity to get into his office and steal the phone. The opportunity came right before a meeting that Jem was supposed to be in. That time Mrs. Johnson has left her desk to go to the meeting room and Jem thinking he would first go to the bathroom before joining in to the meeting decided to leave his phone in his office. Bryan sneaked in and took the phone and left the office immediately.

He had to browse website after website and watch videos after videos on how to open a password locked phone but by some miracle the phone became unlocked and revealed a jewel of countless photos of ***** Jem and his girlfriend.

Bryan smiled as he imagining the look on Sylvia's face. She must be ecstatic about this. She'll divorce this useless men and be with him.
