“I wish I can divorce you but the court clearly states that no divorce until the second year of marriage. Which means, we are stuck with each other. And until then, you are not leaving my sight. That means, you now live in this house, and now work for me!” He retorted. “Deal with that, princess.” The princess was said in a demeaning way. I took a shameful walk back to the sofa I got up from and sank into it. Two years with Evan Blackman? Or the street? Which would it be? ***** After Katie Malory divorced her husband who was cheating on her, she found herself rejected by the only family she had ever known. Left to suffer on the street with no single penny to her name, she was met with the rude shock that she had married a man who had always shown her that he would rather die than look at her twice. How the mistake happened, she couldn’t comprehend. But she knew she only had two options to choose from. The street of the home of the man who hated her with every fiber of his being.
View MoreKatie. The moment I came to, tears ran down my face. I sniffled, trying to keep the tears from falling. I swiped angrily at my cheek when the tears kept streaming down. My body shook, still reeling from shock. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to keep from shaking too much. A hand silently wrapped around the side of my body. Before I could shake it off, the Kroger one wrapped around my other half of my body. I wanted to resist. I wanted to protest that I was perfectly fine. But the tears streaming down my cheeks, the mascara smudged all over my eyes, and my quivering lips said otherwise. With no more resistance in me, I relaxed my body against the man holding me and completely broke down , the last of my control gone. “Shhh…” Evan comforted me. His hand rested on my head, stroking it gently. “He’s lying, right?” I asked once I was able to calm down a bit. “Cupcake, I don’t think he was,” Evan said, finishing his words with a deep sigh. “While you were…” he cleared his thro
Katie’s POV. “Katie Malory!”The bellowing of my name made me hiss as I sat up from the shock and got assaulted by the banging of my head - something I wasn’t expecting. I hissed once more as I tried to hold my head to stop the onset of headache I knew was brewing. “Here.” A masculine voice said and quickly shoved something into the hand I was intending to hold my head with. I opened my eyes and saw Evan towering over me. The moment I laid my eyes on him, the memory of what I did flooded me and I reluctantly took the glass of water and aspirin from his hand. Without a word to him, I dropped the drug in my mouth and downed the glass of water. “Katie Malory!” The angry voice that woke me up earlier resounded again. Startled, I looked up and saw that it was the voice of none other than my father. “Good to see you so soon, father,” I said with a chuckle. Then I turned to look at Evan and gave him the betrayal look. Instead of reacting to my silent accusation, he merely chuckled. I sn
Katie. Before my mind could fully register if who I thought was there was or if it was just my drunken stage that was making me hallucinate, the man pinning me down was suddenly lifted. A loud crashing sound came from somewhere across the room, followed by the shout of several men. I felt myself being lifted up and snorted when I heard the familiar scent of Evan Blackman, the man who I was not expecting to find me so soon.“You have a whole lots of explanation to do!” He yelled at me before dumping me on the nearest chair he could find. Fuck!That was exactly why I was trying my best to avoid the man.Evan Blackman was a man - in fact, he’s the only man - I could call my father’s best friend. Though he was only thirty years, but he was the only man my father was close enough to and listened to. At first, I thought it was because they were business partners, but I soon found out that my father respected the man a lot and just valued him enough to get close to him. But for me?Each
Katie. Relief. That was all I felt as I took another look at the blonde woman in front of me. Dressed in a corporate black pant and grey shirt, with her blonde hair neatly packed into a bun, her blue eyes sparkled with hypocritical empathy - one I wasn’t bothered about. Not in a single bit. “You know I am truly sorry about all these. And I wish we could have found another solution to all these but Mark and I can’t really live without each other.” She said again. She attempted to touch me but I immediately stepped back, although I did it in a way that didn’t make it obvious. “Come on, sweetie. You didn’t steal my man,” I said with a sweet smile. “You were doing me a favor.” That said, I stretched my hand to collect the file Mark had been holding out all along. Divorce file. After reading through it all and making sure that I wasn’t giving up anything else except my marriage to the man, I swiftly signed the paper. “I wish you good luck,” I said as I handed the paper to the blond
