My tone turned frosty. You may not have had another woman before, but now you do. Ill take care of the children; it wont disrupt your affair with your new love.
Thats not what Im saying! Caleb scrambled to explain. Im just asking you to think about the kids. With your memory loss, youre not seeing clearly. Rushing into decisions now might lead to regret once you remember everything.
Debras POV:
This is my own business. You dont need to worry about it.
With that, I shrugged off Calebs hold and continued walking away.

But I had underestimated Calebs resolve.
Persistent as ever, he hurried after me, catching up within a few strides and seizing my hand again.
Debra, please dont go, he implored, looking at me with a desperate sadness. Just listen to me one more time, okay? Its not what you think.
It was the same old story.
I realized that this could be just the beginning. If I naively chose to believe him again, such problems would probably keep recurring.
My heart swelled with annoyance, my thoughts scattered; I didnt want to say anything, so I just turned away, trying to break free.
Debra! Seeing me pull away, Caleb grew even more distressed. His eyes reddened, a clear unwillingness in his look, and his tone became firm. You have to stay today. We need to sort this out.
His grip on my hand tightened, causing me discomfort.
No, Ive heard enough!

I struggled again to break free from his grip, but it was no use.
The pain was unbearable.
It was all his fault, his betrayal. Why was I the one suffering?
Just when I was feeling utterly wronged and on the verge of tears, a tall figure stepped in front of me, releasing me from Calebs grip and ushering me to safety.
Their shadows merged as the Light shifted.
The man in front of me was Andrew.
I stopped for a moment.
Mr. Wright. Andrew kept his cool, maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor as he faced Caleb without a hint of fear, his smile unwavering. Please respect Debras decision. Shes not an object. Shes a person with her own will and rights.
Caleb shot him a fierce look, his voice sharp. Stay out of this! This is between Debra and me. Ive never treated her like an object, so back off!
With that, he tried to reach for me again.
