Upon returning home, I surprised Matthew and Kourtney with the document I carried: a divorce agreement.
Shock registered on their faces, especially Matthew's. He knew exactly why I was doing this.
"Lorelei, what's the matter? Why do you want a divorce?" Matthew asked. He reached out to touch me, but I recoiled.
"You cheated on me with my step-sister," I stated. I saw Kourtney's guilty reaction, but there was no remorse in her eyes.
"That's not true! Lorelei, believe me. I didn't intend to cheat. I wasn't in my right mind. Kourtney slipped something into my drink, that's why I missed our anniversary," Matthew explained, his voice pleading.
"I don't care about your excuses, Matthew. No matter what you say, you cheated on me," I dictated. I was certain of it, I had evidence, but I would hold onto it for now. It would be useful in court.
Tears welled up in Matthew's eyes as he desperately tried to convince me. Kourtney stood silently by, watching the unfolding drama.
"This is all your fault!" Matthew accused, pointing at Kourtney.
"Don't blame me, Matthew! You wanted this to happen. Why can't you admit you cheated on her because you chose me?"
"Chose you? I would never choose you, Kourtney. You're a cunning woman. You took advantage of me! I knew it! You wanted to destroy one relationship, but I won't let that happen!"
My anger flared, directed at both of them. "Stop it, both of you! You're both guilty, so stop blaming each other. All I want is for you to leave!" I yelled.
Matthew knelt before me, pleading for forgiveness. But Kourtney, with a chillingly calm voice, added fuel to the fire.
"You can't make me leave, Lorelei. I'm pregnant."
Lorelei P. O. V
I wasn't surprised to find out Kourtney was pregnant, considering what happened between her and my husband. "So what? What do I care if you're pregnant? I'm not obligated to support you or your child!"
While I noticed Matthew looked surprised by Kourtney's revelation, a flicker of something in his eyes.
"Kourtney? Are you really pregnant?" Matthew asked, confirming.
Kourtney pulled out a pregnancy test from her pocket. "Yes, I was going to tell you, but I knew you wouldn't accept it."
I was supposed to tell him that news on our anniversary, but fate had other plans.
