The strong metal gold key in Khloe Ferguson’s hand sparkled as she fiddled with it.
“Ethan Foster. He doesn't know I own his life” Khloe took a deep breath.
She sat in her cold room upstairs and from the window, she could see her lovely husband, Ethan Foster kissing and wrapping hands over his mistress’s curvaceous waist. Katrina Eliot, or Katty as Ethan would call her, is just the kind of woman who can collide the heads of ten men together by just walking past them.
Sighing, Khloe meticulously hid the key in its secret box before heading down to the living room to welcome her lovely husband and his mistress, Katrina
At least, for these four years of being married to Ethan Foster, Khloe has learned by patience to condone his cheating affairs just so he doesn't divorce her and marry his mistress.
Her priority is that he is happy and she remains his wife regardless even if he never had an iota of love for her and has countlessly rubbed mud into her eyes.
Getting to the living room, She bumped into Ethan lying on the couch with his mistress, eating each other raw.
Khloe was deflated at the spot.
Ethan doesn't mind lowering his head under Katrina’s legs but he barely kisses her lips to talk more about going down there with her.
He only trusted in and out of her putting on protection but he was raw with Katrina and this is the most painful part.
Staring at the obscene before her eyes, Khloe swallowed hard her dried spittles.
Right before her eyes, Ethan pulled Katrina’s shirt, exposing her small mammalian glands that were not up to the size of an apple. Katrina was certainly not endowed there.
As Ethan buried his mouth there, Khloe suddenly shut her eyes trying to launch it off her mind but she still saw his silhouette in her mind doing those crazy things she loved to Katrina instead.
Moanings and groanings were heard as Katrina was screaming for pleasure with those dirty words escaping her lips, driving Ethan to go deeper in her, and in return, he praised her crazily using words like,
“Shit, you're the badass b*tch”
All these times, Khloe wondered if Ethan even noticed she was standing right there before them as this was the height of disrespect for her.
She guessed he was used to her loyalty and her ability to condone his excessive cheating affairs with Katrina who is his other woman.
When Khloe’s feet burned deep from standing too much, she finally opened her eyes and made a guttural sound that cut off the scintillating romance between the two adults.
Ethan immediately stood up from Katrina and buttoned his rumpled shirt while he later helped Katrina adjust the short white high-waist skirt that did not stress him to eat the woman inside her.
Khloe marveled at the way Ethan cared and cherished Katrina. That care was all a woman would crave.
While Ethan and Katrina approached Khloe, she gave her finest smile to him and his mistress.
“I suppose you should know how to give space to lovers” Ethan’s unfriendly remorseless voice terrified Khoe but she ignored him to face Katrina instead.
“Hi, Katty” her voice shivering with hurt even while trying to be friendly and nice.
“Hi, Khloe” Katty responded with disdain, wiggling her long artificial fingernails “ I guess you missed me. Sorry, I have to come very late today. We've been busy in the warehouse, you know how busy it could be right?” She said, showing off affluence and Khloe responded with a nod.
“So sorry, Katty. I think you need a cold bath and a nice rest” Khloe replied while swallowing her hurt before glancing at Ethan.
“I will just make dinner for us. Help Katrina rest well” her voice stilled as she lifted heavy feet to go to the kitchen.
“Khloe” his voice struck powerfully, forcing her to turn slowly at him.
“ Yes,” she replied calmly.
Ethan turned to Katrina “Please wait for me in the room, baby. I love you” he dismissed Katrina with a kiss on her forehead.
“Good Bye Khloe” Katrina replied in exhilaration and left upstairs.
“Goodbye?” Khloe muttered.
Ethan waited till Katrina disappeared completely before turning to face his loyal wife who still had her eyes narrowed in Katrina's direction.
Khloe was sensitive to words and Katrina’s last word just surged through her.
“We need to talk” Ethan’s baritone struck, calling Khloe back to herself.
“Is it that important? shouldn't I fix the table for you and Katty first before we talk?” she worriedly said burying her hurt deep in her heart.
“No, Khloe, I can't wait,” he drew close to her. “ Let's end everything going between us. It's been four years now and I can never love you no matter how hard you may try, I can never love you, we belong to different worlds “ His voice lunged at Khloe like an onslaught.
“What are you talking about, Ethan? I don't seem to get it” Khloe beaconed. She was completely oblivious to what Ethan was saying.
“We are getting divorced, Knloe. You have to leave tonight” Ethan’s breath deeply sank like he pitied Khloe now.
On the spot, Khloe dies seventy times, trying to believe it's not true. She could feel her whole body shuddering while she stood glancing at Ethan.
“It's not true right? You're Just kidding, right?” She spurred herself still, not trying to believe what just rang in her ears.
Ethan palmed his forehead and exhaled. He was exhausted already. Taking his head off his hand, he walked to Khloe, pressing his hands on her shoulders.
“Look, Khloe” he glanced deep into her eyes. “I know you love me so much and even have to make Katty your friend just to make me happy but I'm tired of seeing your face around. Please, leave. I don't want to put you in bondage again. We got married because of my dad but I don't want this marriage again” he stopped at once like he felt a sharp knife slicing his esophagus.
“Why? Why did you do this to me?” Khloe’s voice was cold. Her heart bled deeply yet, her eyes were just too stiff to blink a tear out
Ethan let go of Khloe’s shoulders. The fact that he wanted to let Khloe understand him made him unconsciously compress her down with the weight of his body.
“I will have to call Mr Clark, my lawyer, to send you the divorce papers tomorrow. Just stay put in the Residence Inn till noon tomorrow. He would meet you there, I have sent one million dollars to your account just to make do with it till you find your footing” he shocked her bone marrow.
Now, Khloe understood why Katrina ever said goodbye to her earlier. She knows Katrina was the one who orchestrated the divorce but it's fine.
Lifting her gaze, Khloe glanced at Ethan and said, “It's fine Ethan. I want you to be happy. I will just take my stuff and leave “She shocked Ethan and with that, Khloe picked up everything she had to leave that cold night.
Just as Ethan had commented earlier, Khloe hailed a cab and headed to the hotel that cold night.
“I want a room. One night” Khloe said as she got to the hotel. She did not even bother to ask for the price. She had enough. The receptionist typed on the computer before saying to Khloe,” The cost of our room varies from $100 to $500 for a night and no additional fee, Ma’am “ she explained and Khloe’s brow furrowed. It was the first time she had heard of such a cheap hotel. Now, she sees how inhumane Ethan is. “Okay, I want a room for $ 500” her mouth uttered before she thought about it.“Here is your key ma’am. Room 007, just go up the stairs ” The lady explained and Khloe headed out.Her head was spinning and she needed to get the thoughts of Ethan and Katrina out of her mind. Married to the billionaire’s son, Ethan Forster all he could repay her loyalty with was by divorcing and sending her away with just one million dollars. Isn't it the height of cruelty ever? The Fosters were rich. They own the largest warehouses ever in Maryland and Ethan happened to be their only child.
About five minutes later, Mr Clark, Ethan’s lawyer came with the divorce papers as agreed on.“Here, Miss Ferguson, sign here” Mr Clark handed her a pen to sign the divorce papers. With shaky hands but a mind made up, Khloe signed the papers, breaking the bound that kept herself and Ethan Forster glued.“Here,” Khloe said, handing Mr Clark the divorce papers back. Khole was shocked at something. She had not received her stakes from Mr. Clariton, the Senior account manager of the FOSTER Co-operation.Two months ago when her Father-in-law passed away, he stopped sending her stakes to her.“Mr Clark, please wait,” she called. “What happened to my stakes, I have not received them for two months now?” her face tinted pale.The lawyer pinched his hawkish nose slightly before saying, “I'm afraid Miss Ferguson but Mr Clariton is acting based on the instructions of Mrs Foster” he narrowed his gaze away from Khloe. It was clear that he was acting under Mrs Foster's will too.“I am hearing th
The morning was crisp and fresh with the scent of blooming flowers filling the air.At the airport that morning, Khloe Ferguson stood with a handful of two big boxes that contained all her belongings from four years of being married to Ethan Foster.Returning to Washington will determine her fate. She rebelled with her Father four years ago by giving up on her inheritance and career to marry Ethan.Neither of Khloe's parents knew she was coming back to Washington that day except for her sister whom she informed yesterday. “I'm gonna miss you when you're gone, Khloe,” Elena hugged her. She had been the only friend who loved Khloe since she got married to the rich Billionaire, Ethan Foster.“I will miss you too. Please don't make me cry'' A tear trickled down Khloe's eyes to her face.As they remained in each other's hands shedding tears of sweet moments, a thought tailed Elena’s mind.“I saw the news yesterday, is it true that Ethan and Katrina are now married?” Elena asked as she pul
Arthur Cassius kept wondering who the lady inside the house was. She surpassed his definition of being audacious, fierce and brave. In addition, she is beauty personified.He doesn't think he has ever seen her in the empire since four months he got employed as Sir Ferguson’s driver.Something looks strange with the young woman. Something that he cannot just fathom and he must find it out.The night flew off the earth so quickly calling in dawn at a snap.That morning when Author was preparing Sir Ferguson’s car, his phone rang. It was Kelly, the woman he loved dearly. He smiled but did not take the calls.Kelly would be pissed off right now but he would explain himself to her later. Their conversation was always very lengthy, full of emotion and love. It was not what he could handle at the moment. One thought of the young woman he saw yesterday kept mesmerizing his mind. Just one glance at her, she already has a powerful dominance over him. Immediately Arthur was done with Mr. Fe
Few minutes later, Arthur and Khloe arrived at the company. Arthur stared at the gigantic skyscraper and stood majestically, its steel glass and steel facade gleaming in the sunlight. Arthur poked his head out the windows, getting more of the building before stepping down to get Khole's door.“Here you go ma'am” he said, opening the door and holding it for her to step out.As soon as Khole stepped out of the vehicle, she had a nostalgic feeling. This was her father's company and she had visited so many times. A happy memory flooded her memory but it all faded away when Arthur spoke.“Aren't you going in ma'am? You've been standing for a while” he said, concerned. His face was contorted, his eyebrows hung low which was the cause of the sun beam.“I will. I'll be needing you by 5pm. Don't delay” she said sternly and proceeded to walk in. On her way to the main building, she met a lot of unfamiliar faces and people strolling in and out of the building. Some people began murmuring.“Isn
Khloe Ferguson kept her eyes fixated on the files piled in front of her. “This wasn't what I was expecting when I agreed to take over as CEO," Khloe thought to herself, her mind filled with a mix of frustration and disappointment. “All I thought was that, I'll be taking over my inheritance and continue my father's legacy not cleaning up some mess. This is really frustrating" she groaned. Immediately she thought of this, Rachel,the secretary, knocked on the door and entered with a confused expression. “Uh.. good morning” she said “Yeah?” “I was hoping to see Mr. Lucas. There's been some miscalculation” she announced, closing the door behind her. “Ah yes. Tell me. I'm taking over from him. So see me as your new boss” Khloe said, straightening herself. Rachel asked no further and continued with why she came. “Okay, if you say so. I have some updates on the Johnson account. It's not looking very good." “Who the hell is Johnson?” Khloe thought to herself but not givin
“Arthur?” Kelly repeated, as her eyes widened in genuine curiosity. “I've never heard of him. What's his story?” Khloe bit her lips as she stared into her sisters eyes. Scanning them in order to see if she's genuine or playing dumb. “I'm not very sure. I met him at a restaurant and now he's my driver. It doesn't makes sense and… there's something about him. I can't seem to verily put my finger on it, I'm sure.” Kelly took Khloe's hand gently and gave her a warm smile. “He's just a driver, don't stress about it. You just got out of a tight marriage, you should be free and not worrying over nothing. Have some rest, will you?” still wearing a smile on her face. With a sigh Khloe said,“you're right.” Just then, Rachel walked into the office interrupting their conversation. “Sorry ma'am for disturbing you. I have another file waiting for you and there's someone here to see you,” she announced. Khloe blinked severally as her mind raced. She collected the files, which are m
Arthur studied her feature through the rearview mirror, her eyes too on him. The silence stretched between them and what was heard was only the humming of the vehicle and honking of other cars. Her eyes held curiosity alongside a malicious grin. She thought she had him but unfortunately didn't. He smirked internally before saying “I'm sorry ma'am, but you've got the wrong person.” “Mair Hotel, 9 pm” Khloe said confidently. “I don't know what you're talking about ma’am” Arthur denied. “The man I saw had a striking resemblance. I must have been mistaken then” Khloe said. Arthur glanced at her from the rearview mirror, he let out a small smile then thought to himself. “She's cute when she does that.” Moments later, they arrived at the Fergusons residence. They parked at the parking lot and came down, immediately Khloe went straight to the main house. Upon entering, she met Emily in the living room watching her favorite soap opera. She was so engrossed in it that we didn't
