Irene puckered her brows; she wasn't very surprised, but then, she was a little taken aback.
''What... what went wrong?”
Kate gulped, fresh tears brewing in her eyes, but she forced it back down.
''It was just a transient marriage, which would have ended eventually anyway; it had to be now because…” she swallowed; her heart racing with unbearable pain.
''Because he needs to marry someone else to save the company, he did the right thing, anyone would do that in his shoes.”
Kate didn't know if she was trying to make herself feel better by making his actions look right or if she was just relaying what happened. She knew if his actions were reasonable, it wouldn't hurt so much anymore. But no matter how much she tried, she couldn't make herself forget that he had used her all along and that he had agreed to marry another, without even saying goodbye.
Irene watched her sister for a second, before closing the gap bet
Benjamin sat in the parlor, his eyes stared at the television intently, his face appeared nonchalant but on a closer look, there was a troubled frown on his forehead.Just that moment, Lilian stepped into the parlor, holding two glasses in one hand and a wine bottle in the other; one look at her husband and she knew there was something wrong, her eyes glanced at the television, and when she read the caption she stiffened.Sitting down beside him, she poured some wine into the glass cups; handing him one; Benjamin took the glass from her; his eyes not leaving the television for a second.“Mmmh, he's smart after all. '' He spoke calmly, but his voice, deadly.Lilian felt a cold aura emit from him, and she shuddered, he was furious. She needed to choose her words carefully; else she would be the one taking his aggression.Benjamin insides burned with great fury, he had really underestimated Liam. Just when he thought that the company would be his!
''You have a call, Kate.” Irene said as she stepped into the parlor. Kate, who was sitting on the couch, turned to look at her; her eyes wide. Kate had left her phone in her room, and equally, put off the television so she wouldn't see any news that related to him. She was scared; she didn't want to hear the announcement of his engagement with another woman.Kate knew it was unavoidable, but she couldn't help feeling hurt again, because she had loved him. She didn't go to social media and she didn’t even put on the television, and she planned on staying that way from any media source for a month or two, but as Irene walked into the living room, she had a gut feeling that he was the one calling her.''It's him.” Irene said, cutting her off from her thoughts. Kate’s heart thumped against her chest rapidly, her lips parting slightly.What was he calling for?She gulped painfully. Has he not hurt her enough, what was he still calling f
Kate forced her eyes away from him, parting her lips a little; she took in air, stabling herself. Even when he was so far away, she could feel his gaze penetrating into her eyes, and even when she didn't want to, she felt herself wanting to run to him and hug him.As painful as it seemed, even after everything he had done to her, seeing him right now, she missed him terribly. She shut her eyes briefly, breathing in deeply. How could she still feel this way for him?How could she feel this way after he had hurt her so much? Why was she this way? Why did she still love him even when she hated him so much?!Kate’s eyes clouded and she wanted to turn around and go back into the house, but she decided against it. She had summoned all courage to come out; she should just end it once and for all. Stabilizing herself, she took a step forward. She pressed a remote and the gate opened on its own accord. Liam stood for a moment, before walking towards her.Kat
But she let him touch her… if she truly hated him; she wouldn't have given him her first night. Or was it a strategy to make him fall for her and then crush his heart into a million pieces?Has her every smile to him been a lie?And when she said she loved him, was it a lie?Liam stood in the rain, each drop of rain tearing into his soul, but he didn't move, he just stood still, staring at the spot Tiana walked out from.Maybe he was really a monster? He had hurt her so much, how could he think that she could forgive him easily?Liam’s head fell and his shoulders quaked. He couldn't even imagine what she went through having to pretend she was in love with him, it must be hell to see his face every morning. It must have been heart-wrenching to kiss him back when all she felt inside was pure disgust for him.Liam wished the rain would keep falling on him and wash him out of existence. Maybe that would make her happy. Maybe it
Irene was stunned, for the past few days she had been on her own, moody and crying, but here she was, wearing booty shorts that accentuated her curves, exposing her hot legs, with a crop top stopping right below her rounds boobs, outlining her perfectly shaped stomach. Her hair was let down in waves and she had dark makeup on, and on her feet were white sneakers.Okay, what was going on?Irene couldn't help asking herself. Even before meeting Liam, she had never seen her sister dress so sparingly, was she pushing herself to her limits because of him?''Why are you staring at me like that, is my makeup not good?” Kate puckered her brows, and she turned to the floor to ceiling mirror in the living room to look at her reflection.''You don't look bad, I was just… surprised, where are you going dressed like that?”Kate pouted her lips and smacked it as she gazed at her reflection, she was surprised at what she was seeing; she knew sh
Joshua knew she just broke up with Liam, although he didn't know the facts, from her abrupt rejection he knew she must have been hurt. But he was in no rush; he was ready to give her as much time as she wanted.''Why? Am I that unbearable?” Joshua asked, his face paling as though in hurt.Kate shook her head; ''No, not at all. I just…” she wouldn't tell him about her affair with Liam, or anything, but she needed to let him know that she was done with men, at least for now.Kate paused and looked at him. ''Are you interested in me?''Maybe if she hit the nail on the head it would be easier to address the issue. Joshua was taken aback by her sudden question; it took him a moment to come to himself.“What if I say I am?”Kate smirked; ''I'm really sorry, but I'm not interested. I don't want to waste your time, so I'm going to say this now, nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing can happen between us, so just
Fifteen days later;It's been two weeks since she left and Liam couldn't comprehend how he had been able to live every single day. It was only after she left that he realized how much he loved her. His nightmares returned, not because she wasn't with him anymore, but because she had hurt him because she had wrecked his soul.Liam smoked nearly every day till his throat hurt. That was the only way he could keep himself from thinking about her. He had fought the urge to go after her, but that only made him ill. When he couldn't take it anymore, he would drive to her house in the dead of the night and park outside, smoking and watching her house, not daring to step out.He would smoke till morning before he would go back home. He had been living like this for weeks now, and he was starting to get used to it. He had changed his wall color back to what it used to be, so at least he could close his eyes at night because, without her, those bright colors were like torm
“Our investigation found out that Ms. Jacobs visited your home on the night of her death. Is that true Mr. Wayne?” The police officer sitting in front of him asked.Wayne had not been able to live with himself ever since that night Leah died, she had just stepped out to get some files from her home and suddenly she was dead?The news had wrecked him; he couldn't take it. After a few weeks after her burial, he was starting to cope when suddenly; officers came to his home for questioning.''Yes, we had a little argument before then and she came over to settle things with me.” Wayne replied innocently.The police officer creased her brows; '' did you say you had a dispute before then? ''''Yes, we did.”''What was it about?”Wayne was quiet. He didn't have any bad feelings earlier, but right now, he started to feel disturbed.''It… she had feelings for another man, and she kept it away from me,
