KIMYou shouldn't have hung up like that,” Phoebe said, looking intently into my eyes“Why should I keep talking to him?” I asked, matching her gaze with the same intensity “Why should you keep talking to him? He's your husband Kim” She responded “Soon to be ex-husband” I retorted angrily “Well, you're still legally married to him for now” She muttered “Not for long anyway. You know, sometimes I don't know who you're supporting. Ain't you supposed to support Me?” I asked “Of course, I'm supporting you. All I'm just saying is, you should give him some chance to talk to you. He has never called you before, right? That means this time he must have something important he wants to tell you, but you hang up first.” She explained “I can't just stand talking to him anymore ever since I saw that scene” I muttered, looking down at my fingers which were fidgeting with the hem of my blazers “Hmm…okay, let's get off that. I noticed you've become especially close with Giovanni Ferraro” She

KIMJust two tables away from our table, Sassy Hyde is sitting opposite Nathan's mother—stepmother.Perfect, two women that I despised. If I had my chances, I would ignore them both, but that's impossible since Loretta’s olive green eye is looking directly at me.Fuck! I regret showing up here at this hour to witness my husband's mistress dining with his stepmother. What a lovely scenario to behold. I walk confidently to their table, just then sassy catches a glimpse of me, and I don't miss the look of surprise that flashes across her eyes “Good evening, Mrs Pearce” I greeted politely The woman, who is in her early 50’s nodded slightly and scoffed as soon as I greeted her. She gave me a dissatisfied look, and I couldn't care less.From the start, we are not very close. In fact, she is not close to Nathan as well, so I see no reason why I need to regard her.“Miss Kim?” Sassy’s voice cut through my thoughts “Miss Sassy,” I greeted, smiling brightly at her. There's no way I'd sho

NATHAN My stomach churned for the hundredth time, sitting at the back of my Rolls Royce sedan as the car moved steadily towards the hospital. I pinched the bridge of my nose as I lay my head on the backrest of the chair, dreading the decision I had made.One of the moments I dread in my life is sitting down on the therapist's chair as they ask a series of closely related questions, trying to probe into what I'm thinking and what I decided to horde within myself. I detest this moment, and yet I find myself going back to where I desperately want to escape from.Even since I was 9 years old, my father has tried to cure me by employing the best of the best medical professionals from our country and beyond but none of them was able to help me overcome my ailment.Soon, I grew tired of sitting in front of them while they pretended to help but knowing fully well they couldn't help me.But when I started dating Sassy, she helped me continue my treatment since she usually followed me to the

NATHANI stare blankly at the busy street of New York City through the window of the Rolls Royce driving towards Central Park My mind went over my last conversation with the therapist.“I don't know why you don't want to tell your wife about this, but from what I have observed now, she has a great influence on your emotions and your difficulties in communicating with her are probably because she knew nothing about your ailment which is clearly causing a misunderstanding” he explained I sighed for the umpteenth time pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration. As crazy as that sounds, I want to believe it. Maybe I could get along well with Sassy because she knew about my….The screen of my phone lit up beside me and Sassy’s message popped up, distracting me from my thoughts.I wanted to ignore the message but something in the message caught my attention. As I picked up the phone and opened the message, I felt my chest squeeze in pain.My eyes widened in surprise as I stared at t

KIMI watched Phoebe's sleeping face with a smile on my face. She hasn't been herself since the incident with her fiance.I sat on the edge of the bed, and the mattress sank upon my weight as I reached out and gently stroked her hair. I tucked some little strands of hair behind her ear, revealing her now colourful and radiant face.She hasn't been able to sleep like this for days, she is always either crying or staring blankly into nothingness.Her appearance has changed drastically, and so has her appetite. Staring at her sleeping face as she breathes in and out steadily, I feel all my stress being washed away.It has been a long tiring week for me. I had to work from home, overseeing multiple ongoing projects and approving designs from our designers. Also, I had to take care of my heartbroken friend. I'm not complaining at all; in fact, I'm so happy to be here with her when she needs me the most.Phoebe and I have been friends since high school when my father moved his company hea

KIM“You've fallen for him, Kim,” She said with deadpan seriousness. I feel my heart lurched into my throat as Phoebe's words hit me like a poisonous arrow. I open my mouth slightly and force myself to breathe. This is not true, I know myself. I let out a small chuckle. “That's not possible; there's no way I will fall for Gio. That can't be true,” I said, trying to convince myself rather than Phoebe. But her piercing jade green almond-shaped eyes locked onto me with all seriousness.I started to pace back and forth, mumbling words to myself. How? When did it start? What ignites the feelings? Is it because he gives me the attention I desperately need at this moment? But what about Nathan? He hasn't signed the divorce papers yet. Am I allowed to do this? I voiced out in a flurry of sentences, feeling my panic increasing. Phoebe walked to me and held my hand, stopping me from going back and forth. “Don't take it too seriously. It's just a fling. And it's absolutely normal since he

KIM“Hi,” he said to me, his voice rich and melodious.I feel my breath hitched at the sound of his voice. I can't possibly be falling in love with him for the second time, can I?I shook my head, and I tried to discard the thought. I pushed the door further wide open to allow him to enter, and I avoided his gaze, but I didn't miss his smirk. He walked past me into the house, and his smell filled my nose. He smells of lavender and a mixture of vanilla. “Hi Phoebe” I hear him greet Phoebe, and she responds, smiling “Hi, Nathan. It's been a while”“Yeah, thanks for taking care of Kim” he continued their conversation as if I was invisible in the room“Oh, it has been the other way round” She replied, looking in my direction and Nathan's gaze followed hers“Are you ready?” He asked me, his gaze softened than what I'm used to.I can tell something has changed in him. He has become more approachable. Even the aura he is emitting is no longer cold and distant; it's like the wall he had a

KIM Her gaze went to our intertwined hands, and her face turned green. Her eyeballs almost popped out of their socket as she opened her mouth in disbelief. What a sight to behold. And as if Nathan knew exactly what I wanted to do, he displayed a perfect loving couple. “Which one do you like honey, I will buy it for you” I feel my heart lurched into my throat at the sound of “honey”. This is the second time he will be using such endearment for me. I looked up at him, my eyes searching his eyes for answers. ‘Are you really my Nathan’ I thought. But he further threw me into a fit of mixed emotions when he smiled at me. I stopped breathing, and the world around me seemed to stop moving. I stare at his elegant face, his smile so beautiful and so charming that it makes me go weak in the knees. I opened my mouth, trying to say something, but no words came out. I wanted to breathe, to look away, but I stood rooted to a place, unable to look away from his blue eyes that threatened t

The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN: CPR OR 911?
PHOEBE I was lost in my world, trying to wrap my head around Kim's outburst about my failed relationship when I suddenly heard a scream.It was Nathan. The scream was sudden, and it hid a tremendous amount of untold pain. When I looked towards him, he was already on the floor, holding his head and sobbing loudly. ‘Isn't that an exaggeration?’ I thought. She only hit him once; why is he on the floor pretending to be dying? Surely, one slap can not kill you, right?But he wasn't pretending, maybe he was dying for real.I rush to his side, calling his name, but he seems to be losing consciousness. “Nathan! Nathan!” I called frantically, but I got no response. I immediately went into a panic. My breathing becomes ragged, and my hands tremble anxiously. I have little knowledge when it comes to an emergency like this, and I don't know how to give proper CPR.“Fuck!” I cursed, regretting not paying enough attention in science class.I put my finger against his nose, trying to feel his br
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY-SIX: TALE REPEATS ITSELF
NATHANI drove at one hundred kilometres per hour towards Eleon Interior Designs company.I need to see Kim and talk to her. Talking to her will let me know what she's thinking, and that way, I can figure out how to convince her to withdraw the petition. Is she not taking this too far? I should be the one angry that she kissed another man in front of me, yet I'm the one getting shitty treatment from her.Ever since our departure in Boston, she has not gone home nor slept at home. She hasn't called me and tried to fucking give me some explanation.‘But you also kissed someone else’ I thought “At least I tried to give her an explanation!” I said through gritted teeth, defending myself Is she that desperate to leave me for another man? I tighten my hold on the wheel, feeling rage run through my veins. I know I messed up, I know I had hurt her by neglecting her. But that's it. I did not date another woman, and neither did I intentionally kiss another woman.Okay, sassy kissed me once
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE: DIVORCE PETITION
NATHAN Okay, this is weird and certainly not the time to fall in love! These two are obviously in their own world, oblivious to my existence in the room. “Are…you…okay? Will stutter, fumbling with words. He has been doing a lot of things, unlike him today. He rarely gets mad at me, and he has high confidence when he's around girls, so he never stutters. Phoebe struggled to her feet; her cheek had turned beet red, blushing from… embarrassment? I don't know. “Forgive my clumsiness”, She said and hurried out of the room, probably forgetting the reason why she came in the first place. Then the door flew open again with a bang, and she was at the door pointing her index finger at me with blazing eyes. “N…Nathan, I will come back for you!” she muttered through gritted teeth. Then she sneaked a peek towards Will’s side and noticed his eyes on her. She blushed different shades of pink and ran out of the room, leaving Will stunned in the same position. I glanced towards him; his mo
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR: THE HEARTBREAK
NATHAN It had been a week since Kim had kissed that Italian guy. One week and the image of that night is still vivid in my mind; the pain still hurts as if it was just yesterday. I have tried everything to forget that night, but I still can't bring myself to leave Sunset Hills, where I have been drinking myself away.No matter how I chastise myself and tell myself how damaging drinking alcohol is, I still can't control myself from gulping another cup. No matter how bashed up I was the previous night, I still returned to the bar the following morning. “Are you planning to kill yourself here and ruin business for me!” Will yelled, upon entering the VVIP room. He stormed across the room and snatched the bottle I was about to drink from. He proceeded to clear all the empty bottles, unopened bottles and, including the ones I had abandoned halfway off my table. I didn't protest. I let him pack it all. That's what I need right now—someone who can get some sense into me.“I heard you have
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY THREE: THE BIZARRE DECISION
KIM I took the first flight to New York on Monday morning. Giovanni had left early to attend to business, and I have nothing to do back at the hotel, so I might as well just submerge myself into some work at the company. He had devoted the rest of Sunday to me, trying to cheer me up and lighten my mood. He took me for a walk at the Boston public garden, and we went window shopping at Cambridge antique flea market. It was fun , and soon, I had forgotten about the heartache I felt earlier that morning. The flight from Boston to New York only took about 2 hours so I arrived at the company early and to my greatest surprise, I met Sassy at the lobby, flipping through pages of our design collection magazine without a care in the world. A rush of rage flooded through me. The nerve of that lady to show her face around here. I tried to walk past her, pretending I didn't see her but she saw me. “Mrs Pearce” she called out. “Mrs Pearce, I have been waiting for you. Your subordinate wo
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY-TWO: I WILL WIN HER BACK
NATHAN The heat of my rage boiled in my veins like molten lava, making sweat glistening my forehead. The lump in my throat is strangling me, making it extremely difficult for me to breathe. I had thought of a million possibilities with this Giovanni Ferraro guy, but never have I thought I would witness the scene in front of me. Kim had pulled the guy closer, kissing him passionately, cutting my words short. I wanted to tell her about my ailment and tell her that whatever she sees with Sassy is not real. I wanted to confide in her as my dad suggested, but before I could make out a word, she was already kissing this guy. The same guy whose picture Sassy had sent to me. The same guy I saw at our apartment building the day Kim went out dressing gorgeous with her suitcase. As much as I don't want to overthink her previous actions and clues here and there, this is something I can't get over. She broke from the kiss and looked at me without any guilt or remorse. Her gaze was clear, b

KIMBefore I could think clearly, I pulled Gio closer and kissed him. I feel him freeze beneath my kiss. His lip was rigid and cold, but after a while, it began to move. And he kissed me back.I hear Nathan inhale sharply, and the temperature drops a couple of degrees more, but I do not bother to break free from Gio; I run my hand through his smooth, long hair and deepen the kiss. It felt different. The opposite of what I felt with Nathan. I didn't feel any desire pooled down between my thighs, and I certainly did not feel any jolt of electric current. I feel nothing. Phoebe is wrong, I did not like Gio, but I could use him to get back at Nathan. I know it's selfish, I know it's wrong to toy with Gio's emotions. But I already said it. Tonight is not the night for logical reasons. I break free from Gio’s kiss, trying to catch my breath.I looked at Nathan, he looked pale and his eyes were red. Opposite of what I had expected. I expected him to be mad, furious even, but the look of p

KIMI walk to the ceiling-height glass window that overlooks the city below. With Boston at my feet, everything looks peaceful from up here, away from the bustling streets, polluted air, angry drivers, far away from Nathan. Would he even notice that I'm gone? Will he try to find me? The thought wandered into my mind, and I kicked it out immediately. I had promised myself on the way here that I wouldn't think about him and I wouldn't cry anymore.“Would you like anything to eat? I will call the room service.” Giovanni asked. Just about two hours ago, before I called him, I was hungry, looking for Nathan so he could fix me something to eat before I saw something I had desperately wished for the last two hours that I had not seen.Luckily, Giovanni was in Quincy for business, which is just a 45-minute drive to Dover. We met up at Centre Street and drove all the way down to Boston. “No. I'm fine for now, thank you” I said without looking at him.“Okay, if you need anything, I will be
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: WHO IS GIOVANNI FERRARO?
NATHAN I arrived at Boston Logan International Airport by 10 pm. The flight is scheduled for 10:30 pm but it's going to be delayed for another two hours. One of the many reasons why I don't fly public transport. I need to make sure this never happens again. There must always be a bird and a jet on standby in case of emergencies. I sat in the deserted private lounge of the first class. There's a guy three rows behind me to my right. He is deeply immersed in whatever he's doing, typing away furiously like he has a beef with the keyboard. Another couple sits directly behind me. They seem lost in their own world as they cuddle and say flirty words to each other. The sound of their giggling makes me think of Kim. The way she blushes, the way she smiles secretly, the way her eyes convey her thoughts, the way she looks at me with passion, love, and lust. A smile curved my lips at the memories. The couple behind me suddenly went silent, I could hear some weird sound coming from behind m
