yours!”
     
    I am stunned so I have no response. Did I hear her correctly? My heart is palpitating and I am hardly aware that I am speaking… I am so enraged. “You need to leave. I do not wish to discuss this with you on the sidewalk in front of the airport.”
     
    She tries to grab my arm but I yank it away. “Do not touch me.” I growl, “ I don’t want to look at you, you disgust me.”
     
    She stamps her foot. “Well if you weren’t so far away maybe it would never have happened!”
     
    “Are you out of your fucking mind? Tell me you aren’t blaming me for you cheating!” I leave her standing on the sidewalk and get back into the town car. Before the door shuts, she shoves her hand in then her body. “Get out!” I yell.
     
    “NO! Not until you hear me out. Then I will leave.” She then asks the driver to call ahead and tell the crew that she is running late. “Listen Harry. It was a one-time thing, it will never happen again. I swear to you…please forgive me.” She is now sobbing and once again, all her tears and efforts to make me feel guilty are falling on deaf ears.
     
    I do not reach out to console her. I don’t care to forgive her. I just want her out of my car and out of my life.
     
    “Harry, please, please forgive me. I won’t leave until you say you will forgive me!” She has now grabbed my hand and is pleading with me just short of getting on her knees and groveling. I taste bile at the back of my throat.
     
    “I am far too disgusted with you to have a rational discussion right now. You need to get out of this car now. When I am ready, we may or may not discuss this. As for right now, we are through.”
     
    She sits back in her seat straightening herself. Holding her chin up high, she leans in to me and whispers, “Daddy knows all about it and has offered over a million dollars toward your investment project, if you are willing to forgive this indiscretion and move forward.” She holds up her finger toward my lips before I get a chance to bite her head off.
     
    “Wait, before you protest, I know that you can’t touch any of your trust all at once and that it is dispensed as an allowance, just like mine. So, before you decide to throw me out on my ear, think about what a million dollars could do for your project! Maybe I can even get daddy to double that if I pour on the pout! Now, why don’t you just think about it and then let’s chat when I get home. In the meantime, think about how we just spent the weekend. Imagine a whole lifetime of that kind of fun. I promise you, I will never have such an indiscretion again and I will always be faithful from here on out!”
     
    The bitter bile taste in my mouth is unbearable. I just want to leave but I can’t without getting the final word. I bite the last words out, “I will not be bought… nor will I forget that you cheated on me.”
     
    Before I continue, I have a slight change of heart. This may solve a few problems after all.
     
    “Although, if we can work past this, I will take the money for the investments and when I make the money back, I will pay your father back with interest.” She starts to speak and I shake my head.
     
    “I wonder though, what about the pregnancy? Is it mine or is it his? When will you know? I will not agree to forgive you or stay with you if the baby is from another man. Get that sorted out and then we will talk. In the meantime, get the hell out of my car and go home.”
     
    I turn away from her as she tries to kiss me. She slowly retreats from the car. I pull the door shut behind her and instruct the driver to leave. This is not at all what I have planned. The only reason at this point that I would pretend to forgive her is for the money. After I make myself rich, I will pay her daddy back and dump her. It seems a lot to go through just to get this real estate venture off the ground. But, I don’t dare go to my father for the rest of the money. He would hold the money over my head and
