The Stained Omega

Chapter 61

The other woman.

«Anna)

I had Eliza take Thomas for a few days, me and Fraction need to have a serious conversation about

what happened tonight. And some stuff is better discussed away from tiny ears, I grew up around

people who did nothing but shout and speak with their fists. I refuse to bring my son up in the same

kind of environment.

After Eliza left I decided to take a nice hot bath and then I cleared the rancid smelling clothes from the

floor. I didn’t put them in the hamper, I instead took them down to the kitchen and threw them in the bin.

Honestly I was debating if taking them into the yard and burning them was a little too dramatic. It’s

there in the kitchen that I smell him, he smells like freshly baked cookies doused in whiskey and freshly

wet leaves. I’m starting to wonder if there was ever a time he didn’t smell like whiskey.

“We need to talk,” he slurs at me.

“When you’re sober.” I say about to turn away from him.

“Why do people keep saying that s hit!” He stands up and slams his hands on the table, “come to my Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

office so we can be alone.” I look him in the eyes and something in there is pleading for me to listen to

him, for just a second I see a sparkle of the old Fraction. I nod at him and lead the way to his office.

I feel him at my back the whole way through the house, he’s only a few inches from me and once upon

a time he would reach out and touch me in some way. Not anymore. Not this Fraction. He’s become so

cold and distant lately, át times he’s even down right mean. I have to admit.

though we do need to talk, walking into the office I drop myself into the armchair. The days of my

massive beanbag are long gone, it’s now stored away somewhere for the day I become pregnant

again. I watch Fraction walk into the office, close the door and head straight for his liquor cabinet. He

seems to think twice of it with a shake of his head. and leaves the whiskey where it is, going over to his

chair he sits himself down and just looks at me.

The silence between us is uncomfortable, like I’m sitting in a room. with spi kes on the walls and they

are slowly closing in around me. Fraction is the one person I have always felt comfortable around so to

suddenly feel this way is really unnerving to me.

“I lied.” I suck in a breath at the first words spoken in a good ten minutes.

“You lied? What specifically did you lie about? Are we talking about today or last week or hell, even last

month?” I can feel the rage boiling. up inside me, it makes no sense to me why I’m suddenly going from

calm to nervous to violent rage, it’s like I can’t control my own

emotions.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t want to cause you this pain, I was just trying to build your rage up

To help you.” I look at him but I don’t really see him, he’s been provoking me on purpose?

“So there was a woman?” When he nods my heart breaks in two, I literally feel it crumble in my chest. I

suddenly start gasping for air. It feels like my lungs can’t fill up the whole way. I don’t see Fraction.

move but suddenly he’s in front of me trying to grasp my hands in his, I’m sure it’s to try and calm me

down but his touch just seems to fuel.

my anger.

“Don…Don’t touch me!” I stutter while jumping up from the chair and pushing him to the floor, “how

could you? You said I was imagining it!

You made me think I was making it up, like I was going crazy or paranoid.” I yell at him, he hasn’t

moved from his spot on the floor in front of the armchair. “How could you do this? How could you do

this to us?” I pull my hair from either side, it’s an act of frustration and for some reason it seems to

soothe me a little.

“Little wolf, please. Don’t hurt yourself.” He’s back in front of me and is pulling my hands from my hair,

“I’m so sorry Anna.” I see the tears. running down his face but they mean nothing to me, his pain

makes me feel nothing. In fact I have a sudden desire to see him hurting more. I take my hand from my

hair and ball it into a fist and throw a left. handed punch just how Patrick showed me. It hits his jaw and

he stumbles back with a look of shock on his face.

“Tell me. Tell me everything.” I say between clenched teeth, my whole b*dy is rigid with rage. I want

nothing more than to beat into him but I’ m holding myself back.

“Anna, you don’t need to hear it.” He tells me while getting back up on

his feet.

measure,

“I do. I need to hear it all, I need to hear which woman was worth tearing your family apart for.” I walk

over to the whiskey bottles and pour myself a healthy with a shaking hand I bring it up to my lips and

take a long sip. “Start talking and don’t leave anything out this time.” I sound much calmer than I feel,

it’s like I’m an elastic band that is being pulled too tight and I’m almost at breaking point.

Walking around Fraction I go behind his desk and sit down with my whiskey glass, it’s a clear sign to

Fraction. I’m in charge here and he better start listening, we stare at each other for a long minute

before he drops his head and takes a seat in the armchair. Now our roles are reversed, let’s see if I can

get some truths, it’s time for this Luna to fight for her family.
