Here is Chapter 8:The Decision;
John knew he had to make things right, but he didn't know where to start. He couldn't bear the thought of losing Sarah, but he couldn't resist the pull of his passion for Emily either.
One day, as he was wandering aimlessly, he stumbled upon a small church. He went inside, seeking solace, seeking guidance.
The priest listened to his story, his eyes filled with compassion. "John, my son," he said, "you are at a crossroads. You must choose between your marriage and your mistress. You cannot have both."
John knew the priest was right. He knew he had to make a decision, once and for all.
With a heavy heart, he went home to Sarah. "My dear," he said, "I have made a terrible mistake. I have betrayed your trust, our marriage. But I want to make it right. I want to work to regain your trust, to rebuild our relationship."
Sarah looked at him, her eyes filled with skepticism. "Can you really change, John?" she asked. "Can you really give up your mistress?"
John took a deep breath. "I can," he said. "I will. I promise."
Sarah searched his eyes, looking for the truth. And then, finally, she nodded. "Okay," she said. "I'll give you another chance. But it's going to take a lot of work to earn back my trust."
John knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was willing to do whatever it took to save his marriage, to save himself.
