UNDER HIS AFFECTION

Phoenix Derricks thought their relationship was one made in heaven with everything well laid out~ not till that night. A cold heart-wrenching and soul-dejecting evening that altered the heavens to wail along with her. Left all alone at the altar with all those piercing and judging stares, Phoenix ran out only to barge in on Del Ferns, her 10-year-longterm boyfriend, and Berla Flex, his secretary who was as well her close cousin making out. Diagnosed with heart issues and a few months left, she at least counted herself fortunate in love. But the saying always stands, the heart of men can never be detected. “Berla... ?” She screamed in a near whisper as the door flared exposing their unapologetic gazes. Her eyes twitched with tears; her heart abruptly froze with pain and she collapsed, lying motionless at the doorpost.
