The Next day-THAILAND)

“Er.. morning miss, please have you seen Lyon Alberto around? I haven’t seen him around,” Wendy asked the hotel receptionist after she had looked for him but couldn’t find him.

“Well, he checked out last night and told me not to tell anyone,” The receptionist replied politely and Wendy narrowed her eyes.

“What? How… well, thank you,” she muttered and walked back to her room “that fucker went back to the states! He defile me! My orders! He will regret, I have him in my palm,” she smirked going back to her room.

*****The States***

(The Alberto’s Mansion)

Kathryn drag her feet on the floor to the kitchen, after the long talk with her sister last night, she has been pondering on the matter ever since Trisha brought up the divorce.

Why haven’t she thought of that? “Argh, why do I keep thinking about that?” She asked and walked into the kitchen and she almost flinched when she saw Fiona already there.

“Oh, what a pleasant surprise! Why are you here so early? That’s new,” Kathryn asked as she raised an eyebrow. She left for the fridge, took a bottle water and gulp down slowly.

“Well, I didn’t come early, I slept over because he asked me to,” Fiona explained

“You slept over? And I didn’t know? And who’s the he that gave you the permission?” Kathryn asked curiously.

“Sir Lyon,” She replied and Kathryn choked on the water.

She coughed repeatedly, “who did you just say? L-Lyon?!” She shrieked and the confused Fiona nod.

“Yes, he came back very late last night and why are you so surprised ma’am Kathryn? You sounded as if he didn’t tell you,” Fiona added while Kathryn composed herself and let out a nervous laugh.

“Well—I was just shocked. Hmm, where’s he now?” She asked dropping the plastic into a waste bin.

“In his study room I guess,” Fiona answered and without waiting, Kathryn dashed out.

“What’s that? Why is Ma’am Kathryn so shocked? I mean, they spent the whole day on their wedding anniversary and why is she so shock to hear he’s here? Weird, so weird,” Fiona added but shrug it off and went back to what she was doing.

“I’m sure about the coming elections and as long as nobody become an issue, I will be appointed as the chairman,” Lyon spin his chair with a faint smile on his lips as he speak with confidence over the phone “okay, just make sure all shareholders agrees-“ he was interrupted by a knock on his door.

“Let me call you back,” he told the person on the phone and with that he hang up. “Come in,” He softly said then the door opened revealing Kathryn.

He frown a little bit seeing her, “Why are you here?” He snapped while Kathryn smiled.

“Hey. Er…when did you get back?” She asked politely but Lyon rolled his eyes.

“Last night, I don’t want to disturb your sleep,” He replied.

“Ohh, How was the business trip? Hope everything went smoothly?”She asked hoping he could tell her the truth. She rub her hands as she kept swallowing her sliver.

Lyon breathed in, “Went well,” He answered sharply and it was as if Kathryn was stabbed with a sharp dagger.

“Oh, I see,” She mumbled biting her lower lips, “Lyon-“

“I’m busy Kathryn, can you please step out? You’re making me lose focus,” He snapped angrily while Kathryn fight back the tears in her eyes.

“I..m sorry, I will leave now,” She muttered and turn back but stopped at the door then suddenly walk back to where Lyon is.

“Why are you doing this to me? Why! Why are you so cold to me? This is not the type of marriage I want?” She exclaimed but Lyon cared less.

“Like I said, I’m busy. Let’s have this conversation when I’m less busy, huh?” He muttered clicking something on his laptop.

“I knew this would eventually happen and I’m tired,” She stated then took a step further, “I want a divorce,” She mumbled closing her eyes.

“Yes Mr. Shawn? Sure, I will get you the necessary documents before the month ends, okay, thank you!” Lyon said obviously not listening to what Kathryn has been saying, he dropped the call afterwards

“Saying something?” He asked

“Er…nothing,” She chip in.

“Then leave, don’t be a disturbance, I’m trying to work here,” he snapped while Kathryn understood and with that she faked a smile and left the room.

She held her chest as soon as she got out, “Oh my! What was I saying?? Thank God he didn’t hear me, why did I mention the divorce!”She pouted as she walked back to the living room.

(Few hours later)

“Where are you going?” Kathryn asked immediately she saw Lyon coming out of the study room all dressed up. “Are you leaving again?” She muttered softly

“No, I want to meet a business partner. I won’t take long,” He replied shortly and with that he left.

Few minutes later, he drove into a motel. “Why would she ask me to meet up here?” He asked himself looking at the motel in disgust.

He walked in and was directed to a room, he stood by the door and knocked twice.

The door opened and Wendy appear. “Oh! You’re here!” She giggle and pull him in.

Lyon freed himself from her looking at the room, “what am I doing here? What do you want?” Lyon asked but before he knew it, Wendy placed her lips on his.

A hidden camera took pictures of them.

Lyon push her away, “what the fuck are you doing! Don’t you ever pull this kind of stunt with me again !” He yelled.

“Then you shouldn’t have what left Thailand without letting me know, you caused this!”

“I don’t have time for all this, Wendy not when the chairman election is right about the corner!” He snapped and with that he left.

Wendy smirked, “Just wait until I send these pictures to Kathryn. No woman will see this pictures and won’t go berserk,” She grin.

Lyon got back home in no time, he walked in but only to meet Kathryn in the living room, her eyes red and her fist balled in anger.

“So you’re back?” She asked trying her best not to let her tears fall.

“Kathryn, why are you still here?” He asked but Kathryn shot him a glare.

“I’m waiting for you, to come home so I can get things cleared.”

“What are you talking about-“

He was cut off with the pictures shoved at his face, “What’s this Lyon?! Is this why you left me on our anniversary day! Lyon why do you keep doing these to me?” She yelled.

“This is not what you think, it’s not what you should worry about,That’s just a random picture,” Lyon said calmly but Kathryn laughed.

“Not something I should worry about? Random picture? Really? Don’t fool me Lyon! for good 3years I have done nothing but to endure with you! I forgive you when you hurt me the most! You’re hurting me Lyon,”

“Kathryn, it’s not what you think, I’m too tired to listen to you, please let’s talk tomorrow,” He muttered softly and was about heading in when the worlds from Kathryn made him halt.

“I can’t do this, you know what? I’m filing for divorce tomorrow, let’s get divorce” She dropped the bombshell and Lyon eyes almost pop out.

“WHAT?!”
