As I got back into my car, I knew there was more work to do, I scoffed, connecting my phone to the speaker in my car, and turned on my ignition
I got right into the busy streets of NYC and just as I was trying to dial Carlos number while maintaining a safe lane, a dark corolla honked at the bad driving method
Looking out my screen I could see the bald–headed man point his middle fingers at me and the way he kept scowling just made me mutter the first words that came to my mind. “Fuck you too”
I continued driving and after a few minutes, I dialed Carlos‘ number again and this time, he picked up, his deep voice blaring through my speakers.
“You’re not going to believe this he blunted from the other end but I wasn’t interested. “Do you have any idea what Ashley said about–
“I don’t want to hear it,” I said stopping him. “We have a real case, Carlos. Can you just focus?”
“Okay okay,” he muttered. Talk to me, man.”
Now, that sounded like the exact thing I needed to hear in order to spill and make sense of the questions in my head. “I have a bad feeling g about

I didn’t need a reminder on that but since he brought it up. I decided to give him a response on that. The bucks isn’t everything, t doing this because I have a passion for defending propile and-

“Did Charles say anything worth the time?”
“I’m afraid not but I got a good information that 1 may need to use to get our man talking”
“You mean Morgan!”
“Ves of course.”
He exhaled audibly. “I don’t know what you think you got but I also don’t think it’s going to make Morgan talk.”
“It’s sensitive. Charles daims Morgan wasn’t satisfying Leila anymore.”
“Could that be why she cheated!
“That’s what anyone would think but I need to confirm from him first if this information is true”
“You think he’ll say anything to you! Even if that happened, he’ll never admit it.”
“Because he’s scared that it will be used against him. Someone has to explain to this man that I’m all he has and he needs to be transparent with

“Good luck being the one Carlos blurted and if I could. I’d leave a punch on his face.
“There’s also samething interesting I got to find out I started. “Charles was engaged to another woman at the time he had an affair with Leila.”
“So they were both cheating on their partners. How convenient. He paused. “What else?”
“Clurles seems to adore this his fancée and what I don’t seem to understand is why he’d cheat on her if he so adores her.”
“I think this brings us to a very simple question, Avro. Why do people cheat?” he paused again. “Let’s do it this way. If you were to cheat, what would be your reason?”
Damn you, Carles,
There’s a saying that people look out for what they do not have at home and although I cannot answer that for any other person. I think Eleanor and I kept experiencing so many unsolved issues caused by our differences. I can’t even say we lud anything in common. From our lifestyles to priorities she cared about family and I cared about my career
got so used to her that I no longer got turned on by her–and the sont part! I never communicated it to her because I had no idea how it was going to sound. I didn’t want to raise a child into a home where there was already a decline in our emotional intimacy but maybe if we had a child together, we’d have been able to work it GCIL
All of the damm excesses I thought I had, having sex everywhere and every time due to a high libido somechat matched Ashley’s past in the adult movie industry. To me, she was the perfect match for my excesses Init damn it, I don’t know if that’s what i still think.
“Are your there?” Carlos asked and I shook my head.
“Kight here, Carlos”
