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. 

She ignored him and went even close to the door. 

They drove to his mother's house.

As soon as the car drove into the place, there was a mix of happiness and sadness that he felt. It had been a while since he came to this place, but he was sad because of the reasons he was being called to come here. 

He stepped out of the car and saw the other car there. It meant that Alex was already inside. 

" Are you okay? You do not look okay to me." he tried to hold Cat's hands, but she refused. 

He dragged her back as soon as she tried to make a move. 

" We are going to see my family, and I do not want such behavior; we have to act like everything is okay. I'm sure you do not want them mocking you" he said. 

He locked his hands in hers. She found not to do anything about it because that's the way he wanted it, and it had to happen that way so they could save themselves from the mother's harsh words. 

The cat was particularly not happy as all the times she met with Mrs. Dawson flashed before her eyes; they were very unpleasant moments, and she was going to experience another one. 

They walked into the house. Alex and Rebecca were seated on the other side of the house. Sophia was at the left and Mrs. Dawson was in the middle. 

They had to go over to the right and they got seated. 

Cat's eyes won't stop going about looking at each of them as they exchanged glances and made some looks that screamed that they were not welcome. 

" I believe you saw the time I gave to you for arrival," Mrs. Dawson said. 

" I did; I arrived only five minutes late, pardon me," Aaron said. 

He decided to start on a good note because he did not want to get upset, and if they tried to get him angry, he was also in the mood to get back at them. 

" Let's begin," she said as she cast one last look at Cat. 

" I want to say that I am not impressed with the taste you two have in women. Such poor taste, and to even make things worse, Aaron had to go after someone that should not be here; such pathetic thing to do," she said. 

" I am not going to sit here and listen to all of that if that is what you called me here for. I can start leaving" Aaron said. 

" This is something important and you have to sit through it to the end. We are gathered here because of you and you want to leave?" Alex sighed. 

" I never knew it was because of me that a meeting was called, how special can I be?" He glanced at his mother. 

Cat sat there, not saying a word. She could not look at them as well. She figured out that it was not because of Aaron; it was mainly because of her, from the way Sophia looked at her to the way Rebecca looked at her as well. 

" I want to know why you married her, and now she works in the company; why would you do such a thing?" She asked Aaron. 

There was silence in the room. If a pin is being dropped in the room, it is going to make a sound that all of them would hear. 

The cat was very uneasy where she sat. She looked over her shoulders and saw how Aaron felt very comfortable. He was not shaken at all. 

He turned and looked at his mother. 

" Is that what Alex said I did? After he left my office, he came here to tell you that I want Cat to work in the company?" 

" Of course, why won't he tell me about the nonsense you are doing. You want to ruin what your father left for you?" 

" I don't get it; how is that ruining things? She is my wife, and she is part of the family; why do you think that I want to ruin things by letting her work with me?" 

Mrs. Dawson was very upset about it. She could not hide her pain and displeasure. 

" She was meant to leave this family and never return, why did you break her back? And now you want her to take over what we have. The company is our own and not meant for strangers" she said. 

" Calling Cat a stranger is not what you should be doing. She is family and she remains family"

" I can not believe that you would pick up what I threw away, brother. You should not have brought yourself so low to do such a thing" Alex said. 

There was a look on Rebecca's face. She seemed to be enjoying all that was going on. 

" Let me be the one to worry about that. You see the one next to you? Worry about her and leave Cat alone. Maybe when she shows you what she is made of, Mother would also tell you how you have poor taste in women," Aaron said as he stood up. 

He stretched his hands to Cat. She placed her hands in his. 

" Where do you think you are going? You think you can come into this family and cause havoc? It is never going to happen. This is all Aaron's fault. Alex already discarded you, but you found a way to crawl back; you will have to leave for the second time, and I will make sure of that," Mrs. Dawson said. 

Cat was upset; she could no longer keep quiet about it. 

" I do not know what you take me for. Maybe you should ask the sons you gave birth to why they keep coming back to me even after I have said no to them. Maybe talk to your sons and not to me; I am clearly not the problem here," she said and then walked away. 

She was trying so hard not to shed a tear where they were. They were going to call her weak, and they were going to say that they were right about her. 

She rushed to the car and poured the tears there. She cried so much in the car before Aaron finally came out of the house. 

As soon as she saw Aaron coming, she quickly wiped the tears from her face; she did not want him to see her that way. 

She felt he was the same as his family, and none of them deserved to see her breakdown.

    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?

    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.

    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

    The silence in the room was enough to break the walls of the room. She lifted up her face and looked at Aaron. All of her thoughts were tied to asking him why he was doing what he was doing. There was confusion written all over her face because she could not believe that he would be doing that. Her eyes caught the papers that Aaron now held; they spoke of cruelty, and that's when she realized what she had done. Her eyes would not leave the papers in his hands. She felt like she had done something wrong. Something she was going to regret. She looked at Alex and saw how hateful he looked. " What do you think you are doing?" He went to Aaron. " Step back, this is what I want. At least, I did not take her away from you. You willingly sent her away, and now, she's mine," he said. Alex scoffed. A look of mockery in his eyes. " I can not believe you are going to fall for her deceit and her lies, I threw her out of my life because she sleeps around and she's not good enough, and you

    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,"

    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
