Ex-wife, Please Come Back

"Sara, don't you ever doubt my confidence? I am still scared. I can't imagine how things will turn out," Jacob said, his affectionate eyes boring into her.

Gently, she responded, "I know, Jacob. I am aware of how afraid this makes you. But please relax. It doesn't matter. I mean it when I say it. I don't care how difficult our future will be. I don't care whether you gain success or not. None of this matter. Only you do."

When she spoke, her eyes were bright with genuine determination. The two of them stood together, a time bomb ticking in the background. Everything felt uncertain. They perhaps had failures awaiting them.

"I can't afford to lose. Don't worry, Sara. Please have faith in me. I will do my best to fix everything,"

Jacob assured, his expression a mix of fear and bravery. He hadn't planned on getting so sentimental. But he had an urge to tell Sara everything that was in his heart.

He knew if he didn't tell her, she would never know. She was his companion and he would confide in her about everything.

He gazed steadily into her face. These events were nothing but a test.

"Well, I'll give you the money. You can do whatever you want with it. I have faith in you. Everything will be fine," she promised and got ready to leave the room. Sara had full faith in Jacob.

"Okay," he uttered, his affection for her expanding. He watched her receding figure and once she was out of his sight, he let out a heavy sigh.

Now he had to face the problem that he had been dreading.

Just the mere thought of it filled him with sadness. Ever since he had taken that wrong move, his life wasn't under his control.

He tried to repel these negative thoughts. After all, he had a clearer picture of the future in his head now. He began to wonder what James would do if he were still here.

'He would do the same, ' Jacob thought to himself and closed his eyes.

This was an old habit of his. Every time he found himself in crises, he would contemplate how James would deal with it.
