him for what he was and remembered more than her twin ever did.  About what really happened and not just some fabricated story.
    “Issy it’s me.  Issy!  You’re turning my daughter against me?!”Alex said, irritated.
    “No.  You are.” Zoe chimed in.
    “Just go.” Isabel interjected.
    Alex gave up but vowed he will be back, presented Medina with a gift—a 14 karat gold pendant necklace, he fastened around her neck.  He kissed her and ended the jilted send-off with the number to his cell phone.
    Alex retreated to the cab, defeated but not beaten

    “Is cash okay?” Alex inquired, observed all the areas of the room and envisioned what he could do with the empty space.
    “It’s fine.  Just sign here.  Will your wife be joining you?” She asked, gestured to his wedding band, hoping there was some mistake. 
    “My wife, she’s tying up some loose ends.” Alex glanced at it, fiddled with it.  He still saw it for what it represented and was prepared to be buried with it.  Alex signed the lease, confirming Zoe’s worst fear.  The house was beautiful, a tad on the expensive side, in a nice neighborhood.  But most importantly, it was closer to her.
    After Alex was released from the clinic, he sold their house and came to suburbia with just a suitcase packed with clothes and a five million dollar inheritance he got from his father’s passing.  The only thing Frank ever gave him that was worthwhile.  Prior to the trip, Alex visited Frank’s grave to make amends.  Alex had planned on never forgiving him.  But this was a step he couldn’t neglect.  A final step towards healing, the therapist called it.  He offered his condolences to the wife and younger brother and promised to stay in touch when he got settled.  Of course he was a good liar.  He didn’t care about them and it wasn’t his intention to connect with anyone who was held accountable for his mother’s fatal demise. 
    Alex couldn’t hide his true self any longer.  Alex was a made up name and his scapegoat when in need of a detour.  Only a select few knew the real one.  Henry.  The name given to him by his birth parents.  In order to keep up appearances he created a fake persona and it worked.  As for the why, it will forever be shrouded in secret.  He made the executive decision to come out of hiding when he no longer needed to be Alex Price.  He created a fake life but it wasn’t all an act.
    “What do you think you’re doing?” Zoe asked, spying on him.
    “What does it look like I’m doing?  I’m moving.” Henry said in a huff.
    “Alex you can’t” Zoe said.
    “I am, too late to get the security deposit back.” Henry said, entering the house.
    “What do you want?” Zoe said, going after him.
    “What belongs to me.  What about you?  What do you want?”” Henry closed the door behind her and cornered her.
    “I want you out of my life.” Zoe said.
    “Did you just come over here to tell me that?  I know you still feel something.” Henry came closer.
    “What we had was over long before you got here.”
    As soon as Zoe advanced toward the door, he grabbed her and kissed her.  Zoe pushed him away and slapped him abruptly.  Henry reached for her, kissed hard, forcing his tongue down her throat like a starving man, as if he was in need of her.  He had a burning desire no one else could fill, an itch no one else could scratch.  Zoe struggled, except the temptation was so great she couldn’t resist.  There was a part of her body that still craved his touch.  She tasted his lips, entwining her tongue with his.  Henry pushed her against the wall, lifted her up while she wrapped her legs around his waist.  Henry unzipped his pants and penetrated her.  Henry wanted her more than ever.  He knew he could make her happy if given the chance and would spend the rest of his life making it up to her.
    A single tear trickled down her cheek.  It was a sign of joy and sorrow. She wanted to
