Being Third Wheel In My Own Marriage 009 When A Girl Rejects A Proposal
Three hours to midnight, Nightfall is at its busiest hour. The dim light lines out the liberated face laughing, drinking, kissing, and more, leaving enough dark shadows for things that can’t come out under the light.Sitting with a group of businessmen is Damian Moore.On their couch several girls are squeezed in between the men, wearing next nothing. Though as if having an invisible bubble around him, Damian’s sides are empty.He, too, laughs and drinks and talks, yet somehow he comes off lonely. Like the blinding lights irradiating around can’t paint his world any color.But then, a shade of pure white crushed into his eyes--Catherine enters in a tame, white sweater, loose enough to cover her figure. Pairing with jeans and light blue tennis shoes.In short, not a fitting style for Nightfall. Making her stand out even more.Gulping his glass empty, Damian’s eyes follow the girl onto a couch not far from the bar. He frowns.“Tell me,” He thinks out loud,“...when would a girl reject a

Then when the whole table snaps out of the shock, they burst into laughter, pointing at Catherine’s drenched funny look.A winning smile is back on Annie’s face.The two punks exchange bewildered looks.“Miss Bell,” Catherine starts with a calm tone, “how do you like my apology?”Annie rolls her eyes, a mocking smirk on her lips, “I asked you to drink it, not shower with it. Don’t say that I bullied you.”“Thanks for acknowledging that you asked me to drink it,” Catherine nods politely, still with smiley eyes, “so, can you lend me the fifty grand now?”“Are you crazy?” The mean girl shrills in a nasty voice, “Does Annie owe you anything?! Why would she lend any money to a slut who seduced her man?!”“Miss Bell?” Catherine looks directly at Annie, ignoring the mean girl.Annie seems to be in a struggle. Her eyes land on the empty mug,
Being Third Wheel In My Own Marriage 011 For Old Time's Sake
Damian doesn’t miss how Dawson’s eyes passed on Catherine the moment he spotted her. As a man, Damian understands Dawson’s look well.He still cares about Catherine.At this moment, Catherine lets out a light chuckle. As if laughing at herself, or at the world. Finally she stops her laugh, looking up at Annie slowly as cold words leave her scarlet lips: “After last night? He is not even a friend anymore.”Sulleness flashes through Maverick’s eyes.The evil amusement takes over Damian’s face.“What if he begs you for a second chance,” Damian cuts into the conversation so naturally and elegantly as if he has always been a part of it, “...for the sake of your years together?”Catherine opens her mouth like a stunned kitten as she watches Damian joining the table. Seeing her cute look, Damian’s smile widens.“Answer me, kitten,” Damian walks so close to Catherine, he could see himself in her eyes.As if stung by a painful memory, Catherine darts her eyes off Damian. In that split moment,
Being Third Wheel In My Own Marriage 012 Lurking For His Prey
Damian finally pulls back his sight from the gate, glancing at the woman sitting down beside him.Ava Knight.Best actress of the year. Unlike Annie’s purchase nomination, she earned it with her flawless acting. Though not without the influence of the city’s two kings.“What’s up?” Damian puts down his glass, looking at Ava with a serious look. She only looks for him when she wants something.“Nothing,” Ava lets out a laugh, slightly surprised at his assumption, “Killian says he’s meeting you here tonight, so I thought finding you is the same as finding him.”Then why not straightly looking for Killian?With little of an expression, Damian nods, reaching for his glass again.He can’t help noticing the glow on her face though. She was never this happy in the past two years, traveling the world with him. But now, even waiting for Killian, she is happy beyond reasoning.A shade of mockery flashes through Damian’s eyes.

Being Third Wheel In My Own Marriage 014 Her Confession
Catherine walks over in elegant moves, not stopping until she is right in front of Ava, aversion to her plainly written in Catherine’s eyes.Even in high heels, Ava comes off shorter than Catherine. Maybe noticing she is not winning over Catherine on vigor, Ava sits down in a careless move. Right by Damian’s side.Catherine doesn’t even let her eyes land on Damina.“Killian,” Catherine’s voice is now steady and calm, “you bought the hospital my mom is in?”Killian answers with his usual flat tone, “No.”Catherine takes an inhale to try to keep a cool head, “So there is another jerk, just as mean as you, suddenly decided to buy that particular hospital for no reason but to raise my mom’s bill?”Welllll, she tried.It’s not wise at all, to lash out at the tyrant of the underground world, but Catherine also has her own leverage to bet that he won’t dare touch her now--Killian wouldn’t have come to her and asked nicely, if there was ANY other way to find Bess.Killian shoots Catherine a
Being Third Wheel In My Own Marriage 015 The Three Princesses
Damian’s sharp eyes nailed on her, not buying it at all. She is lying....but her eyes are so luring that it almost feels like she is lying with the truth...Some bold whistles, along with gasps and whispers. Catherine ignores all that, taking Damian’s observing look calmly.Ava stares at the two people in disbelief, and only looks away when Damian’s eyes dart in her direction.A smirk crawls onto Damian’s face.He sees through Catherine’s lie after he sees Ava’s look--Everyone knows how he loved Ava for years, and how Ava has been with Killian for years, too.

Being Third Wheel In My Own Marriage 016 The Missing Tattoo
Catherine bites her lips.She wants to throw something at him again. [Why would anyone marry such a mean guy] in a scornful tone would be perfect.“Katie!” Catherine jumps at that shout, startled. She didn’t think Maverick would ever talk to her, not to mention initiating one.Maverick has been out looking for her for a while now. If she didn’t go back to question Killian, she would have missed him. Maverick dashes to her side, a hand landing on the top of Damian’s Rolls Royce as he tries to calm his panting.Damian glares forward, the twisted eyebrows showing the man’s sulk.“How much do you need?” Maverick asks, only to add awkwardly, “Delete the recording, and you can name your number.”Catherine curves her lips into a bitter smile.A month ago this man was still a perfect gentleman, attending to her like she was his treasure. They could talk, laugh, having all kinds of fun in the world. And now, he sees her as an extortionist and he is only talking to her to protect another woman
