“Shayla Hit Anthony Where It Hurts — Now He’s Speechless! Will He Choose Amber or Shayla Next?” ๐๐ฅ Read More
๐ The Pain Between Two Worlds – Anthony’s Silent Tears
The house was quiet — but not peaceful.
The air felt heavy, almost suffocating, as Anthony sat in the dim living room, staring at the flickering candlelight.
Amber’s laughter echoed in his memories — sharp, confident, victorious.
She had been overjoyed when Anthony humiliated Shayla, proving her “status” and reminding Shayla of her place.
Amber (smirking): “That’s my man. He finally showed her who’s in control.”
But control… was it really worth the emptiness that followed?
Anthony leaned back, his thoughts drifting. Shayla’s words still rang in his ears — not just words, but knives that cut deep.
Earlier that evening, he had confronted her for disobeying his rules.
Anthony (sternly): “You don’t follow my law, Shayla. In this house, things happen my way.”
Shayla (hurt but calm): “Your law? You used to make the same rules for Amber, remember? And where is she now? Gone. Just like your peace.”
Anthony’s jaw tightened.
Anthony (warning): “Don’t bring her name up again.”
Shayla stepped closer, her eyes glistening with pain.
Shayla: “Why not? You keep comparing me to her every day. You say you loved her — but what did that love give you? Nothing. No child. No family. Just pride.”
Anthony froze — her words hit deeper than she knew.
Anthony (low voice): “Enough, Shayla.”
But she didn’t stop.
Shayla (teary): “Amber might’ve been beautiful… but I’m beautiful too. The only difference is — I gave you what she never could. A son. And instead of thinking about your child and me, you’re setting rules like I’m a stranger.”
Her voice grew sharper.
Shayla: “You don’t pay for the house. You don’t help with the baby’s needs. Yet you act like a king.”
Anthony’s hands trembled.
Anthony (whispering): “Shayla… enough.”
But Shayla’s tears only fell harder.
Shayla: “No, Anthony. You think because Amber couldn’t give you a child, you lost something. But you didn’t lose — you refused to see the blessing standing right in front of you. I gave you life — his life. Our son’s. Yet you make me feel like a burden.”
Her voice cracked.
Shayla: “How can you call yourself a man when your heart can’t decide where it belongs?”
Anthony stood there — frozen, hollow.
Her words tore through every wall he’d built.
For years, he had hidden behind anger — using control as a shield for the emptiness inside him.
When Shayla turned to leave, she whispered through trembling lips:
Shayla (softly): “You can teach me your rules, Anthony… but you can’t force me to forget the pain you caused.”
The sound of her footsteps faded, leaving Anthony alone with his regrets.
He sat back down, staring at the photo on the table —
Amber smiling in one frame,
his newborn son in Shayla’s arms in another.
The contrast broke him.
Anthony (whispering): “Amber gave me love… but Shayla gave me life. And somehow, I lost both.”
His eyes burned as he looked up at the ceiling, trying to hold back tears.
But the silence around him spoke louder than words.
Outside, the baby’s faint cry echoed from the other room.
Anthony’s heart tightened — guilt, pain, love, and confusion all fighting inside him.
He walked slowly toward the door, stopped halfway, and closed his eyes.
Anthony (murmuring): “Maybe Shayla’s right. Maybe I punished the wrong person. Maybe I was just trying to prove something… when all I needed was peace.”
But peace doesn’t come easily to men who live in regret.
That night, Anthony didn’t sleep.
He sat by the window, watching the moon disappear behind the clouds, wondering if he still had a chance to fix what he’d broken — or if his silence had already destroyed everything he once called home.
As dawn began to rise, his heart whispered one truth he could no longer ignore:
Anthony (whispering to himself): “You can win every argument, Anthony… but you can’t win love with pride.”
And somewhere in the next room, Shayla wiped her tears, holding their baby close — the only proof that love once existed between them.
What happens next?
Will Anthony finally choose love over ego?
Or will the silence between him and Shayla become permanent?
To know that… we’ll have to wait for the next chapter. ๐
