Vanessa had awoken this morning with a sick feeling in her guts. She had almost forgotten how it felt like to feel this way with Ethan bringing a lot of warmth and color to her life.
She had not slept with Ethan by her side the previous night. It was one of those few nights when she slept alone because Ethan insisted that he had to leave for work. He worked at a bar somewhere in the suburbs according to him. Vanessa had never been there before.
She had however noticed something that seemed very strange about him. He was always answering calls that came at very odd times. Sometimes, he even stayed up waiting for whoever he was going to speak with to call.
Then, he would excuse himself and speak with the person in Vanessa's closet. He claimed it was his boss and that he was a very detailed man. Also, he liked to speak with him in private as he was the only staff he trusted the most at the bar.
