After I found out my CEO husband, Edward Lane, was cheating on me, rage and jealousy consumed me. I totally lost it, trashing our bedroom, screaming at him, forcing him to stay. Edward remained eerily calm. In a soft voice, he dropped the most brutal words. "Yvonne, be good, okay? I'm only human. I've been basically celibate for three years. Do you expect me to keep going like this?" he asked. My heart shattered. I stared at him, someone so familiar yet now a total stranger, tears streaming down my face. From the pit of my despair, I begged, "You promised to love me forever. Please, don't leave me for someone else. I can't live without you." Edward scoffed. Without another word, he turned away and went straight to his new flame. That same night, drowning in hopelessness, I swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills.
