England
James and I had been together for over three years, sharing a happy, trusting relationship. We had already met each others families, and our wedding was being planned. Everything seemed perfect, and I truly believed I wanted children with this man and to grow old together.
On the day he was returning from a business trip, we hadnt arranged to meet, but I decided to surprise him. I took a day off work, baked his favourite Victoria sponge, and drove over to his flat. I was fortunate to have my own set of keys, so while he was still in bed, I even had time to brew some tea alongside the cake.
I quietly opened his bedroom door. Before I could even take a step, I nearly tripped over something on the floor. The room was dim, so I used my phones torch to see what had caught me. There were womens clothes not mine lying all over the carpet. As I stepped further inside, I saw him in bed with another woman.
I didnt cause a scene. Instead, I closed the door gently behind me, left his favourite cake and the keys on the kitchen table, and slipped out. It was chilly outside, and I didnt feel like going back to my parents house, so I found a bench in the local park and just cried. After a while, a kind bloke sat down beside me and asked if I was alright. I didnt mention anything about the betrayal, but we chatted with surprising ease. Somehow, we ended up going back to his for a cup of tea.
Now, we live together and are making plans to get married. I cant help but believe that fate wanted us to meet just as we did, because nothing in life happens without reason. Sometimes, heartbreak simply leads us exactly where were meant to be.
