She thought she found it with her first husband, but things came to a heel when he asked for a divorce. Broken-hearted, Kathleen goes on a vacation with her best friend, slash companion, slash manservant, which leads to a start of something they both knew was impossible between them, but they couldn't deny their feelings.

Chapter 4: I want nothing from you
He couldn't say what he expected, but the woman who walked in behind the suit was certainly not his wife. Kathleen smirked at the sight of her husband's shocked face. Outwardly, with her sunglasses covering her face, she could hide the smugness she felt inside. She spared no glance in her husband's direction and elegantly sat beside her lawyer on the opposite side of the conference table. The both parties are here, shall we begin? The mediator asked Drew, who still couldn't get over his wife's glow-up, kept gawking at her, and he wasn't being subtle about it. His lawyer had to tap him to get his attention on why they were there. He blinked to disguise his embarrassment at being caught drooling over his wife. "Remember you are here to divorce her, not fuck her?" His lawyer teased in a low tone, but Kathleen heard him and smiled behind her hand.

Chapter 5: An idiot
It was really over, were the words that rang through Kathleen's mind as she got to her feet. She could feel Drew watching her like a hawk, and turned in his direction. She wore a thin smile that didn't reach her eyes. "I hope things work between you and your secretary," she said sincerely and then walked out, her lawyer on her heels. Her words left Drew dumbfouned, and unable to respond until the door hit Kathleen's back. He couldn't believe that his wife knew. So why didn't she say anything? Her silence about his affair, and him acting like an idiot few minutes ago left feeling like an idiot. After the door closed behind his wife was he able to snap out of his stupor and found his lawyer gawking at him, while wearing the are-you-insane-look. The mediator was no where to be found as well. "What?" He snapped at his lawyer. His laywer is an older man, in his fifties, pot bellied and bald all over, giving his round face a shinny look. He was a brilliant lawyer and has been un
