Alex paced around the house; he was trying to be careful so he did not step on the dirt that was on the floor. 

His eyes went round the house, and he was so disappointed at how she had left the house. 

" I am not getting a maid, Rebecca" 

" Why not? You should get a maid to do that. I did not come here to be a maid for you" she said. 

" And the laundry?" He asked her. 

" The laundry should be done by the maid as well, what do you take me for? I'm never going to stress myself over that; it's not going to happen that way," she said. 

He ran his hands through his hair. The sight of dirt on the floor irritated him so much. 

" This can't be. Cat does all of those things, and she has never complained or said anything about it; she has always been comfortable with it," he said. 

" I am not Cat, and I can never be here; you should not complain about little things like this. Cat was just a maid, I am a wife, and you should get the place tidied by one of the maids; I'm sure you have the money," she said. 

She went to him and dragged his cheeks 

He sighed. He brought out his phone and began to call someone who could get a maid for him. 

" I do not like the look on your face; put on a smile," she said. 

He had to smile at her. 

" I'm sorry for expecting you to do all of these," he said. 

He went back to his room, and as soon as he entered, he received a text from his mother about the meeting. 

Cat frowned her face all through the ride back to the house. Aaron noticed this but did not say a word to her; he felt he should let her be and not be bothered about anything that was going on with her as we were able to sort them out. 

They got to the house and he opened the door for her. 

" I do not need your help with the door," Cat said 

" You should be thankful that I am being a gentleman here" 

" I am not, and there is nothing you can do about that" she sighed as she walked to her room. 

He wanted to go to his room as well but decided not to. He went to her door, raised his hands, and let it fall on her door; he found himself knocking. 

The door opened, and Cat was surprised to see him there; she thought he was already heading to his room. 

" What do you want from me?" She folded her hands at him. 

" I do not want any trouble with you, I do not want this to turn into some fight" 

" You should have thought of that a long time ago; you should have thought of that when you brought those papers and a pen for me to sign," she said. 

He held the door, he did not want to come in. 

" Everything will be clear to you, but for now, I do not want to see those long faces and act like I did something wrong to you when I was only helping you out here, you can see for yourself that I was only helping you out" 

" You are so full of yourself; you and Alex think that you can get people whenever you want and then discard them whenever you want as well," she said. 

She was so upset. 

" I am not Alex, and I would appreciate it if you did not compare me to that lunatic," he spat. 

“I do not know what else to do at this point, leave me alone; I want to be left alone, just go away." She tried to close the door, but he held it with his hands. 

He just got a text from his mother for a meeting. 

" We have a meeting to attend," he said. 

" I do not want to go about attending your business meetings with you; you are using me, and I do not find it funny," she said. 

" This is not a business meeting; it's my family's meeting; we are going there tomorrow," he said bluntly. 

It made her pause for a moment like she had not heard him correctly. 

" What did you say?" 

" We are going to my family's meeting tomorrow; I'm sure you heard what I said," he rolled his eyes, feeling frustrated already. 

" That is not going to happen; you clearly said it is your family; how am I included?" 

" Let's not argue about this, get ready tomorrow. You are still part of the family" he said and walked away from her. 

She felt so frustrated like Aaron was the one who was controlling whatever she did. She flinched the clothes that were in her wardrobe away.

Anger washed over her as she felt she was stuck in the same family over and over again. 

She thought about the traumatizing experience it was going to be seeing their mother again and even his sister. 

The way his mother usually looks at her like she was some piece of shit. She sat on the bed and let her mind ring through all of that. It was never something she wanted to go through again.

Before she could realize herself, tears were dropping from her eyes. She quickly wiped them away, she did not want the Dawson family to be the reason she was crying. 

" They are not worth it," she said as she picked up the mirror and looked at her eyes to be sure that no teardrops were coming from her eyes. 

She began to arrange the clothes that were littered all around her room. When she was done with that, she lay on the bed and began to think of what the next day held for her. 

A knock came on the door, it was what woke her up from sleep. She went to the door and received her usual morning tea. 

" Thank you," she said. 

She began to get prepared for the meeting even though she was not happy with what was going on with her. 

She clipped her favorite piece of earrings to her ears. Her necklace was still in her hands when a knock came on the door. 

She quickly fixed it on her neck and went to the door. She opened it and it was Aaron. 

He was well dressed with a black pair of trousers and a sky blue shirt to match. 

His hair was well arranged and he looked so good. 

She swallowed and kept looking at how he was. 

" Can you stop looking at me like that? I know I am good-looking; you can quit the state," he said. 

" You think so? I'm wondering why you have that coming out of your pocket." Her eyes went to his trousers. 

He followed her eyes and saw his pair of red socks coming out of his trousers. 

He quickly removed it from his trousers. 

" It was a mistake," he said. 

" When I do something like that for you, you should thank me for it." She rolled her eyes.

" You look good," he said instead of thanking her. 

She was meant to be mad at him, but she ended up blushing, and her cheeks heated up without her knowing. 

" Is that a blush?" He tried to touch her cheeks. She moved back, making his hands hang in the air. 

Her heart began to beat faster than usual as she tried to stay focused.

    She tried to take her eyes away from him but it was like something impossible for her to do. " I do not like the way you are looking at me," he said. She swallowed as she forced herself to look away from him. " That's better," he said as he tried to walk away from her, then he stopped. " I want you in the car, we should not arrive late." he walked away to the car. She stood at the door not knowing what to do at first. She did not want to believe that she was drooling at him. She touched her chest and shook her head. She got her bag and her phone as she made her way to the car. She got in and sat beside him. She did not want to move close to him so she stuck herself near the car door. " Do not end up falling from there; I do not know what you are running away from," he chuckled.

    He came into the car and saw the way her face was." I'm sorry for everything they said in there" " I want to go home”, she said. The driver drove them out of there and they got home. Cat left the car while waiting to hear what he had to say. He was trying to have a conversation with her in the car but it was not going to work at all. She got into her room and locked the door. No amount of knocking by Aaron could make her open the door. She plugged in her earphones so she could stop hearing the sound of the knocking. " I'm sorry Cat, can we talk? I have a lot of things to say to you; just hear me out this once," he said. I had no idea that Cat was not hearing what he was saying. He was talking to himself and when he got tired of doing that, he went back to his room, hoping that he would talk to her later. He brought out his laptop and began to check his messages. He could not go to the office because there was no interest in doing that. His mind was not at rest, he was tryi

    Rebecca has been given permission to dig deep into Cat and how she was seeing Aaron to have been able to do what she did. Alex believed that she was already seeing Aaron even before their divorce and he wanted the world to know about it and to know that she was not who she said she was. Rebecca had no idea where she was going to find that out. All she knew was that she had to find out that Cat was sleeping around while married to Alex. She took her phone and dialed a number. An old friend of hers who was also an investigator. " I need you to meet me at the address I will send to you," she said into the phone. " I know what you want, but I hope this is not some way of doing something dirty because I will not be interested in it if you dare ask me to do something silly for you," he said. She frowned. " I can pay for it"" You never pay me well, and you know this; why should I believe that you will pay well for this?" " Are you doubting me? I married into the Dawson family and yo

    Cat held her spoon, looking at him. " I asked you a question, why are you acting like you did not hear me?" She asked him, ignoring the way he was looking. He swallowed. That conversation was not what he was expecting to hear from her. He looked at her, hoping that she would forget about asking him that, but it looked like she was never going to give up." I do not want to talk about it. Can we not do this?" " You have to answer all of my questions," she said. He rolled his eyes, wondering why she was bent on knowing about that. " Why do you want to know?" " Is it not too bad that you get to manage the company alone and your brother is not here to do that for you? I do not know what this is, but it does not look good," she said. Aaron was not comfortable with what she was saying but he was never going to say it. He dropped the spoon and breathed in. " He can not be here, Cat. It is something that happened a long time ago; I would prefer it if you let things be. It is not worth

    Cat's heart beat against her chest to the roar of the slamming front door shut after her. Her breath came in shallow gasps, and her mind struggled to keep up with what her eyes had just seen. Then, right there in the centre of their marriage bed, was her husband—her husband, with another woman.The woman lay in the bed, her legs all spread out and his tongue moving in and out from her, her scream vibrating across the room. She stood and watched as her husband was rough handling another woman's breast making her cum and also him cum without doing too much, her heart bleed as the sight. Her husband has refused to touch her claiming he was too weak and tired to do anything, even if she pleasure his cock, sucking on it as its life depends on it, he would only snap and tell her not to do it again. She felt the sting of the betrayal like a blow of a truck, and then, in that instant, she came to a reality and dashed at the door again.Her hands shook as she grabbed the doorway's frame and th

    Cold air slapped against Catherine’s face as she ran, blinded by tears, her chest heaving with each breath. Her legs burned, but she didn’t stop. Not until her foot caught on an uneven pavement, sending her crashing onto the ground. Pain shot up her leg with a scraped knee, but she did not notice it much. The ache in her chest, the suffocating weight of betrayal, swallowed every other sensation.She lifted herself pushing herself up, stumbling on wobbly legs, and at last, seeing her surroundings. Her breath hitched.The club.The place where she and Alex had spent countless nights, where they had celebrated his birthday, where she had first met the man who shattered her heart.Memories pestered her, but rather than to flinch, she stepped closer to the inside.The thumping bass vibrated through her bones. Low neon lights washed the scene in reds and blues. Laughter, toasting and the smell of liquor hung in the air. She reached the bar, pushing herself for balance while grasping its edg

    Warmth wrapped her. A solid arm draped over her waist, a steady heartbeat thrummed against her back. The scent of expensive cologne and musk filled her senses. Catherine’s eyes fluttered open, the unfamiliar ceiling above her bringing reality crashing down like a tidal wave. Her breath hitched. ‘Last night…’Heat rushed to her cheeks as flashes of tangled sheets, heated kisses, and whispered words replayed in her mind. Her pulse quickened when she felt the firm grip around her waist tighten slightly, as if the man beside her wasn’t ready to let go. A mix of emotions churned inside her. Shame. Regret. A lingering, unwanted thrill. Her fingers curled into the sheets. ‘What have I done?’A bitter taste coated her tongue. She had become the very thing she despised—someone like her husband. A cheater. A liar. And now a prostitute.Her throat tightened as she pried his arm off her body, careful not to wake him. The warmth disappeared instantly, replaced by the cold bite of reality. S

    Cat stood frozen, her fingers curling tightly around the handle of her suitcase. The venomous insults and disdainful stares of the onlookers pierced her like a razor, but she refused to show any weakness on her face. She straightened, clearing her throat as she finished packing, movement throughout her body stiff and deliberate.Still, a part of her hoped—prayed—that Alex would say something, do something. However, when she made curious eye contact with him, her heart skipped a beat. His expression was emotionless, his arms tight across his chest as if he was giving two hoots. His sharp eyes, once warm, now held nothing but cold detachment.A bitter taste settled on her tongue. “So this is how it ends.”His mother didn't hesitate to show her disgust. “Now you want to use guilt to make him reason with you. We don't want you anymore. Shameless woman.Cat didn't bother to answer her because it is going to add fuel to the matter. She turned and entered the bathroom where she and Alex once

    Alex paced around the house; he was trying to be careful so he did not step on the dirt that was on the floor. His eyes went round the house, and he was so disappointed at how she had left the house. " I am not getting a maid, Rebecca" " Why not? You should get a maid to do that.

    There was tension between the both of them; it was like a never-ending silence. Alex kept his eyes on Aaron, he could not believe what Aaron was doing. His fingers kept tapping beside him, he thought of what his mother was going to say to this and how his sister would react to it as well. Aaron did not bother at all; he felt his father gave him the company, and he could employ whoever pleased him; it was never something to debate about. And Cat? She felt caught in all of these like the family was trying to make a mockery of her. " I know the two of you planned this right? You planned to throw me out of the house so I could fall right into your brother's arms," she yelled. " I do not know what you are talking about. You are the one who owes me an explanation of how you got him wrapped around your fingers. I know you did something to him" he said. Cat laughed. She looked at Alex like he had gone out of his senses. “I did nothing to him; you should ask him why he is so interested

    She left the bathroom and began to dry her body. Then she ran her hands through the clothes that were in the closet. She ran her eyes to see something that was nice and good, but her eyes seemed to be failing her. Alex was not serious with their family's business, so there was never a time she frequented the office to have decent office wear. "I should not be waiting for you for this long" she heard Aaron's voice, obviously frustrated from waiting. She sighed as she picked one of the outfits that were there. She grabbed her bag and then her phone was next, she was trying her best to hurry up with what she was doing. She opened the door and he was not near the door. She hurriedly went outside the house, hoping to see him in the car. He was already inside the car. " Why did you take so long just to appear this way?" He looked at her from her head down to her toes and then shook his head like he was very much disappointed in her for her choice of clothing. She had to look at hers

    She opened her eyes and saw the room she was in. It was different from the room I was used to. She stretched her body as she stood up from the bed. Her eyes went around the room, she had to wipe her face with some water from the bathroom. Then she knew that all that happened the previous day was real. She was still married to a Dawson, just that it was the elder brother. Such a stupid thing. She was still a Dawson even after she had remarried. She walked out of the bathroom; fear gripped her as she thought about what her new life was going to be like. What she was going to do here and how things are going to be. She held her phone in her hands as she looked at the text that Alex had sent to her. She sighed. " He already succeeded in throwing me out of the house, why is he so mad that I found a roof over my head?" She said as she saw the second message from him. A knock came to the door, making her heart jump. She thought that it would be Aaron at the door. She went to it and

    Cat is shown her room; she walks in and is amazed at how big it is. This was the kind of house that she would have loved to move into. But as life would have it, Alex blew up the money. She felt moving in here was life's way of restoring her list hope, of giving her the apartment she had been saving for even though the money was blown away. " I made this place specifically to your taste" Aaron stood at her back. She had not heard him come in, she moved back in fear. " I did not hear the door open," she said. She had fear in her eyes as this was something she never planned for. She moved away from him. " You planned this all along, using the little time to arrange the room to my taste?" " I know what I want and I go for it" " What do you mean by that? You ruined my marriage?" She fumed. Her hands were folded, crossed right under her breast. She was upset that he had planned this with Alex." I told you already, I am not going to be a part of your accusation. You know you are
