Bryce was furious. His breathing had gone from erratic pants to an outburst of cusses and swearing. The last thing he had expected was walking into his building to see Hera leaving with someone else, and the worst part of everything was that it was none other than that dude from the game.
Were they seeing each other?
No. He knew that Hera was way too cultured for that. She would never go against her principles to be with someone, but then what if she did? He knew that he was supposed to trust her, but now, he just didn't know anymore.
Was she that angry at him? Hera had never been the one to hold a grudge. She tries as much as possible to iron out their differences before they escalated and got out of control, so why now? Why isn't she trying? Why is she avoiding him instead and, to make matters worse, why is she going out with that guy? Damnit!
He had thought that she would've moved past their issues by now, but she hasn't.
This week has been the longest and most excruciating week he has ever experienced in his entire life and, to make matters worse, Hera also wasn't talking to him.
He couldn't concentrate at work when he wanted to, and he hasn't been able to sleep a wink without the image of her telling him off flooding through his brain. For how long would he go through this bitter torture?
For how long would he endure it?
