Ch. 7

One Week Later

Jaelyn

Fergal and I arrived at marriage counseling. I really don't want to be here. Fergal and I are willing to give it a try.

I have my phone, seeing a text from Marcel. 'Hey. How are you?' I replied; 'Good, I guess. I'm at marriage counseling with Fergal'.

I sent it to Marcel. My phone vibrated again. Marcel replied; 'Oh okay. Let me know how that goes'.

I replied; 'I will. Talk to you later', sending the text. "Who's that?" Fergal asked. "None of your business," I said, locking my phone.

"Jaelyn and Fergal Devitt?" someone asked. Fergal and I got up as we saw our new marriage counselor.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Wells," Dr. Wells said. "Hello," Fergal and I said. We headed to her office. "Have a seat," Dr. Wells said.

Fergal and I sat down on the couch. Dr. Wells shut the door, sitting down on a chair. "So what brings you two to marriage counseling?" Dr. Wells asked.

"Well, my wife Jaelyn and I have been separated for a month now," Fergal said. "Why did you guys separate?" I asked.

"Well, after we both got injured, I felt like I'm sleeping next to a stranger. He's always coming home late. Plus I feel like he's been seeing someone because he's cheated on me twice. Even though he's cheated on me twice, I feel like he'll do it again," I said.

"Yeah, I suffered a broken jaw in two places and she's suffered a broken nose and a broken orbital bone above her upper right cheek. We're professional wrestlers," Fergal said.

"Okay. So Fergal, you cheated on Jaelyn twice?" Dr. Wells asked. "Yes, I have. I cheated on her with backstage interviewer Cathy Kelley back in 2017," he said.

"Why did you cheat on her the first time?" Dr. Wells asked. "Cathy and I hung out, we had sex and she threatened to tell Jaelyn about us. I totally regret it. Jaelyn tells me a secret that she was pregnant with that baby. However, she wasn't pregnant for very long," he said.

"Oh wow. How long were you pregnant for?" Dr. Wells asked. "I found out on the day after I found out that Fergal cheated on me. I was pregnant with the baby for a month, secretly. During a match at Extreme Rules, I took a spear from Roman Reigns by taking a bullet for Fergal and Joe and lost the baby," I said.

"Oh my god. How did you feel that she kept that a secret from you?" Dr. Wells asked Fergal. "I was devastated. I can't believe she didn't tell me," he said.

"So after he broke up with Cathy, we got back together and we eloped. We've been married since July 27th, 2017," I said.

"That's good," Dr. Wells said. "After we eloped, we've been happy and strong together. We have two children together and I helped her raise her daughter. We had an official ceremony. However, before Money in the Bank, I secretly cheated on her again," he said.

"Okay, did you tell Jaelyn?" Dr. Wells asked. "No, I didn't. She found out five months later. Tell her how you found out," Fergal said, looking at me.

"When we were home, he was taking a shower. I heard his phone ringing, I ignored it. It rang again a few moments later. I picked it up and it stopped ringing. So I picked it up, calling the number back. Veronica answered and she asked, 'Hola, Lover, have you finally left your wife for me?' then I asked her, 'Vero, why the fuck are you calling my husband for?' and she hung up. I confronted him about it and kicked him out," I said.

"How long did you cheat on Jaelyn with this woman?" Dr. Wells asked. "From May to October, so five months," he said.

I looked at Fergal with daggers. "Okay, Fergal, if you love Jaelyn, why do you cheat on her the second time for five months?" Dr. Wells asked.

Fergal sighed, looking up. "I hate to admit this. I was going through a midlife crisis and depression. I pretended to be happy with being married and having children with Jaelyn. I lost myself. So I sneaked out behind Jaelyn's back and cheated on her with Latina Sports Anchor Vero Rodriguez and I felt like I was young again. So when Jaelyn found out that I've been cheating on her, she kicked me out and I moved into my own place with the other woman. Then I found out that she was in a rebound with NXT UK Superstar Marcel Barthel via the NXT segment when Imperium attacked me and Jaelyn," he said.

"Jaelyn, is this true? You were in rebound mode?" Dr. Wells asked. "Yes, it's true. I believe it's only fair if I hook up with someone after I've been cheated on," I said.

"How long were you seeing this person?" Dr. Wells asked. "So I went on a blind date with my friends, Kyle and Melissa and their friend Marcel. They thought he was a good person for me. After that blind date, Marcel was looking for casual sex and I was in rebound mode. So Marcel and I had sex, stopped talking because I took Fergal back a couple of weeks later," I said.

"Did you like this other guy?" Dr. Wells asked. "Just as a friend," I said. "Since now we are confessing things, I have something to confess to you," Fergal said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. "Remember when Veronica DMed you and told you that I've been cheating on you and I told you that she kissed me and I shoved her away?" he asked.

"Um yeah, I remember that. Why?" I asked. "I lied. Veronica didn't kiss me first, I actually kissed Veronica first," Fergal confessed.

"What?" I asked, confused. "Yeah, I came onto her first, kissing her first. And I've been seeing Veronica before we went to the Liverpool vs Tottenham game," he said.

I looked at Fergal then looked away from him. "So you basically been fucking her before we trapped and seduced her to scare her?" I asked.

Fergal sighed, nodding. I looked down, sighing. "Jaelyn, I am sorry if I cheated on you and lied to you about her," he said.

I covered my face, sniffling. I just found out that Fergal actually kissed Veronica first. I started crying, sniffling.

Dr. Wells gives me kleenex. "Thank you," I said, drying my eyes with a kleenex. "I can't believe you lied to me about Veronica kissing you first when you were the one that kissed her first and you were cheating on me before the Liverpool vs Tottenham game," I said.

"Jaelyn, I am really sorry. I promised that I won't cheat on you again," he said. "How am I supposed to believe you? You cheated on me and lied to me. You even lied to my own daughter, who I trust you with. You are almost forty years old, you need to grow the fuck up," I said.

"Okay, Jaelyn, how do you feel about Fergal?" Dr. Wells asked. I stayed silent, looking down.

"I really don't think I'm in love with him anymore after he confessed lies to me," I said, keeping my head down. "Okay, well, our session's up. I will see you two in a couple weeks," Dr. Wells said.

"Thank you, Dr. Wells," Fergal said. I nodded, getting up. Fergal and I leave Dr. Wells' office.

I ignored Fergal as I was heading to my car, getting in. "Jaelyn, please talk to me," Fergal said.

I started my car. I drove out of the parking lot and headed home. I cried as I drove home, drying my tears.

---

I am home, laying down. Bridgette's babysitting the twins at her dad's house. I've been crying my eyes out.

Fergal just confessed that he kissed Veronica first. She didn't come onto him first. He came onto Veronica.

My phone vibrated, sniffling. I see it's Fergal calling me. I sent his call straight to voicemail. I sat my phone down.

I turned over, continuing to cry. I heard my phone vibrating. I turned over, seeing it's Marcel calling me.

I grabbed my phone, sitting up. I dried my tears, answering the call. "Hello?" I asked, in a raspy voice.

"Hey, Jaelyn. Are you okay?" Marcel asked. I shook my head. "I just went to marriage counseling with Fergal," I said.

"Oh, how did that go?" he asked. "It was the first session and Fergal has been lying to me our whole marriage," I said.

"Oh, no. What did he lie about?" he asked. "Well, when I saw Fergal was kissing the woman he cheated on me with, he told me that she came onto him. He confessed that he's the one that kissed her first," I said.

"Oh, Scheiße. I am sorry to hear that, Jaelyn," he said. "It's not your fault. I pretty much stayed married a cheater and a liar," I said.

"You deserve way better than Fergal," he said. "I know. After he lied to me for a few years, I feel like I want to file for divorce from him," I said.

"If you want to divorce Fergal, I'll support you," he said. "Thank you, Marcel," I said. "You're welcome. Do you want me to come over?" he asked.

"No, I'd rather be alone tonight but thank you anyways," I said. "You're welcome. If you need anything, let me know," he said.

"I will," I said. "Okay," he said. "Hey, I have a question. After you brought me to your place and you laid me down on the couch. Was there something on my head? I felt something touching my head," I said.

"Um...," he paused. I waited for him to answer the question. "I actually kissed your forehead after you fell asleep," he said.

"Ohh okay. I was wondering," I said. "Was that okay?" he asked. "It was okay. Thank you for letting me stay the night while I was passed out," I said.

"You're welcome. How are you feeling?" he asked. "Better now. I'm gonna lay down and close my eyes," I said.

"Okay, beautiful, rest well," he said. "I will, bye," I said. "Bye, beautiful," Marcel said. I ended the call.

I checked my voicemail from Fergal. 'Jaelyn, I am sorry for lying to you and cheating on you. Can you please call me back. I love you.' Fergal's voice said.

I deleted the voicemail. I sighed as I looked at my phone. I sat my phone down. I got up from my bed, grabbing my notebook.

I sat down on my bed, opening my notebook. I looked through it, trying to find an attorney to help me with my divorce.

I dialed the phone number for divorce attorney. I pushed the green button. My phone started ringing.

I sighed as I waited. "Hello, Dennis Marks office, this is Myrissa," Myrissa asked. "Hi, Myrissa. This is Jaelyn Devitt. I would like to make an appointment with Dennis Marks. I am planning to file divorce from my husband Fergal," I said.

"Okay. How about 11:30 am on Monday March 8th?" Myrissa asked. "Sounds good," I said. "Okay, see you Monday March 8th at 11:30pm," Myrissa said.

I wrote it down. "Thank you," I said. "Have a wonderful day," Myrissa said. "You as well," I said, ending the call.

I sat my phone down, sighing. I look at a picture of me and Fergal on our elopement day and our last picture of us after he won back the NXT Championship.

I sat the picture face down. I closed my notebook, setting it on the nightstand. I laid back down, closing my eyes.

Monday

It's Monday. Today's the day I am visiting with a divorce attorney. Bridgette's at school. I took the twins to daycare.

I headed to meet my divorce attorney. I headed inside the office, walking up to the desk. I read her name and it's Myrissa.

"Hello, how may I help you?" Myrissa asked. "Hi, I'm Jaelyn Devitt. I have an appointment with Dennis Marks at 11:30pm," I said.

"Yes, follow me," Myrissa said. I followed Myrissa as she led me to Dennis's office. She knocked on the door.

"Yes, Myrissa," Dennis said. "Mr. Marks, Jaelyn Devitt's here to see you," Myrissa said. Dennis looks up, seeing.

"Jaelyn Devitt, welcome," Dennis said. "Thank you," I said, sitting down. "You're welcome. What brings you today?" Dennis asked.

"Yeah, I would like to file divorce against my husband," I said. "Okay. Why do you want to divorce your husband?" he asked.

"Well, he's cheated on me twice during our whole marriage. Last year, I backed out of divorce because he wanted to stay married," I said.

"I am sorry to hear that. So are you sure you want to divorce him?" he asked. "I am positive. I'm really tired of him lying and cheating on me," I said.

"Okay. I will send a letter to him. Do you know where he'll be?" he asked. "He's at Crossfit Orlando," I said.

"Okay. My assistant will hand deliver a letter and document to let him know that you're filing for divorce," he said.

"Thank you," I said. Mr. Marks nodded as we continued our meeting.
