Also to Emily's surprise, after the slap, Dean didn't get aggressive or offend her again, on the contrary, the blow seemed to appease him, making him change his arrogant attitude to a more humble one.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I said, the last thing I wanted when I came here was to offend you. I didn't mean to hurt you and the kids either. Now I just want to end this in peace. Please, let's talk," he told her, as soon as he could recover. Emily felt bad at the time for hitting him. But, well, at least it had done some good.
"I'm sorry too," she hesitated "Like I said, I'm not an abusive person, but you weren't nice at all and I got out of line, so I apologize again for that. As for us talking, you and I have nothing more to talk about. You erased me from your life years ago, today I do the same. I'll have my lawyer call you. Goodbye Dean," Emily said and left the boathouse.
"Well," Dean thought to himself as she drove away in the cab. "At least I'll get a divorce, and my kids won't be able to say I didn't fight for them."
Here ends the story of Dean and Emily Lothario, a marriage that began beautifully, and ended.... as it ended.
Emily is back in Sunset Valley, and back at work, with her dear friend and colleague Antoine, for whom, she realizes, she has special feelings. But she is aware that Antoine is married, and after what happened to her with Dean, she would never do the same to Antoine's wife Ella, or their children. It's a shame because to her Antoine is everything Dean could never be. If only they had met before!
