who told him point blank he was what she wanted.
When it came down to it, she did make a lot more steps toward him than he did in the beginning.
Kind of like the past ex clients he dated. Nope, not going there.
“Easy pickings,” Alex said. “I tried to tell Robin that, but she didn’t want to believe me.”
“You spoke with Robin?” he asked, wondering why she never said a word to him.
“I did. A few weeks ago. I guess you two don’t talk as much as you let on. Maybe you aren’t as close as I thought you were. I could have saved myself this trip.”
He laughed. “You are so full of yourself. What I want to know is the real reason you’re here. I think it doesn’t have anything to do with Robin being in love with me.” Alex’s face paled and he knew he hit a nerve. “Or the fact that you think I’m after what she calls her blood money. Nope, it has to do with the fact that I saw that video of you.”
“She had no right to film me.”
“It was her house too. You were in bed with someone else. Let’s not beat around the bush here, Alex. You want to know if I’m pulling your leg or not and bluffing. I’m not. You were in bed with a man. Your wife came home to change her clothes and found you having sex in bed with another man.”
Alex’s face started to turn red. “You’ve got no right to talk about this.”
“You started this. I’ve never said a word. We are in my office behind closed doors. And just so you know I’m not lying and I did see the video. It wasn’t sex that Robin caught on video. She walked in and saw you kissing someone. She assumed it was a woman since you were on top. That’s when she moved out of the way and started to film without watching. Did you know that?”
“Shut the hell up.”
“I guess you didn’t. But I’ll fill you in. Your wife was so upset that you were cheating on her and instead of confronting you had enough smarts to document it. She couldn’t watch it though. She hid behind the doorframe and pointed her phone at the bed and closed her eyes. But she had to listen to it all. After a minute she couldn’t take it and ran out of the house. It wasn’t until she played it back that she realized you stopped kissing and started to give him a blow job. That’s when she realized it was a man and not a woman. Talk about a major betrayal. She’s doubted everything about herself since. Why you wanted her to begin with, what you ever felt for her. If she’s enough for anyone in the future and I’m doing my damnedest to let her know she is worth everything and didn’t deserve what you did to her.”
“You don’t know what it’s like to hide this from everyone. Talk about doubting yourself. You’ve got no idea.”
“No. I don’t. But what I know is that she loved you and you used her to show the world you weren’t who you are. That’s your problem. Not hers. You’re not the only gay man in this world. You’re not even the only one who married a woman because he didn’t want to come out. But have the balls to be honest with the woman you said you loved. To tell her why you did it and talk to her openly and honestly about it. Don’t place the blame on anyone else’s shoulders or say no one understands you. You’re an adult and accountable for your own choices in life.”
“It was right in front of her face to see and she didn’t,” Alex said.
“No, I don’t think it was,” he said. “And you want to know the sick truth of all of this? If Robin hadn’t caught you in the act, I bet she’d still be married to you right now wondering why you weren’t paying attention to her. Doubting why she wasn’t enough for you and wanting to make the marriage work. She’d be asking you for a child too. Oh wait, she already wanted one and you didn’t.”
“I thought she was perfect,” Alex said. “Naive enough to wonder what she was doing wrong. Wanting the lifestyle I could give her and being thankful for it. It’s the only reason I threw the prenup away thinking that was what was
