I’m Someone Else

“Oh, Felice. Chicks love bad boys. You don’t expect me to be like that boyfriend of yours, who hasn’t taken you to bed despite being in a relationship with you all these years, do you?”

“Why are you bringing him up now, Walt?!”

Thomas Clifford was standing outside the room looking like he had seen a ghost as he listened to the sounds that filtered out. He knew that woman’s voice very well. It belonged to Felice Lott, his girlfriend!

It felt as if a stick of dynamite had exploded inside Thomas’ head. His ears were ringing.

He had been in an eight-year relationship with Felice. All this while, he had been serving in the army, and every month, he would set aside just a little bit of allowance for himself and send the rest of his paycheck to Felice, including his bonuses for every successful mission. He was an orphan, but she had a family to support. Her parents were getting older, and she had a younger brother who was still in school.

In other words, for the past eight years, he, Thomas Clifford, was the one who funded her entire family!

Even though he earned all that money by risking his life on a multitude of dangerous missions, he never complained about using it to support Felice’s family.

In his heart, he considered Felice’s family his own as well!

And yet, what are you doing now? Cheating on me?

How can you do this to me?

Thomas couldn’t take it anymore. He kicked the door down and marched into the room.

The sound of the door banging open gave the couple in bed a fright.

Felice didn’t have time to put her clothes back on. She scrambled to use the covers to hide her naked body.
