Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down

Winona’s instinct was that Benjamin must've known the inside story; otherwise, he would not be here. He slowly opened his eyes while his heart ached. “Why don’t you believe the news?”

“I understand my man. He has his principle and he sticks to it. I’m a hundred percent sure that he would not do such immoral things!” Winona insisted.

His blood boiled and he became very agitated as he yelled, “You only knew him for two to three months but you’ve known me for over twenty years. Why do you choose to trust him instead of me?”

She slowly released his collar and said, “Benjamin, there is no comparison. He is my husband and my only bet in life. We grew up together and you are my lifelong friend. I do not wish that we can no longer be friends.”

What she said was like a dagger that stabbed him in the heart. He spent so many years with her and now she only said that they were friends? It was beyond all doubt that he loved her. The only problem was he was unable to express himself and used to bury his feelings for her. She was the only woman he loved.

He took a while to compose himself and then slowly said, “Matt’s methods are very heavy-handed and sinister and naturally made a lot of enemies within the country. They hoped that he would not come back alive. There's the possibility that they've formed an alliance against him.”

“Ah! So they intentionally created a rumor to slander him. That is as good as stabbing him in the back!”

“Winona, seize the opportunity to divorce him since not many people know about your marriage to him. I will arrange for someone to hasten the process.”

Clunk, she opened the door and said coldly, “Mr. Larson, please get out of the car!”

“Winona, I’m doing this for your own good. I can’t bear to see you implicated by him. Once you are under investigation, they would eat you alive. You'll die before you even know it!”

She turned and smiled, “Thanks for the warning. Matt once said to me, till death do we part.”

Benjamin got out of the car and stared as she drove off. He clenched his fists and punched the wall repeatedly until fresh blood stained the wall. The pain was nothing compared to his heartache.
