I barely slept last night. All I could think about was what Jennifer said. Yes, a part of her is right. In the beginning, I convinced her to marry me because I knew it was the right thing to do. But we’ve had three years and a son together. I thought everything was fine. I had no idea she was unhappy.

The house is empty without her and Eric. I can’t stand it and end up going into work over an hour early to get away from the quiet. I get immersed in work all morning to try and get my mind off things. I don’t even notice when my assistant walks in the office later in the afternoon. Bailey gasps when she looks at me and comes around to the side of my desk.

She puts her hand on mine. “Damn, Captain. You look like hell. Are you okay?”

I look down at her hand on mine and instantly feel guilty. Not because I feel anything for her but because I know that no woman should be touching me besides my wife. I pull my hand out from under hers and rub my chest, and that feeling of loss overpowers me again. “I’m fine, Bailey.”

She squats down beside my chair and puts her hand on my knee. My gaze instantly goes to her exposed cleavage. “Are you sure, boss? Because I can help you with whatever… problem you have.”

My gaze goes back to her eyes and I see the lust in her eyes. I push my chair back and get away from her. Right as I do, my sister knocks on the open door.

I look over at her and surprise is written all over her face. She looks at Bailey disgustedly. “Am I interrupting anything?”

I stand up and go to usher her in. “No. No, Officer Johnson, you’re not. Please come in. She was just leaving.” I don’t even look over at Bailey. I can’t. I feel like I need to go home and take a shower to wash off all the dirtiness she brought into the room. I will be looking for her replacement by the end of the week.

Sitting back in my chair and lost in thought, I barely acknowledge my sister when she says, “She’s a beautiful woman, Linc. Is this what’s really going on with you and Jenn?”

I shake my head. “I guess you talked to Mom?”

“Yep, she called me on my way to work this morning. Said that Jenn is asking for a divorce because you don’t love her.” She’s still looking at me with disgust in her eyes and I know she thinks there is something going on here with Bailey.

“Sis, Chrissy… you know I’m not like that. Nothing happened with Bailey except she hit on me. I’ll take care of it. I would never betray Jenn like that.”

Appeased by my answer, she asks, “Okay, so what is going on then?”

I huff, not wanting to talk about it but knowing that I need to figure it all out.
