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

KIM“I want to make it up to you,” he says, and a drop of tears rolling down my cheek. He moved closer to me and held my hand. His other hand wiped away the lone tear on my cheek, and then he gently touched my face, his thumb rubbing where he had just wiped.He still holds my gaze, his blue gaze so intense I'd almost melt under it. His thumb moved steadily away from my cheek to my eyebrow as he gently stroked it, and then over to my eyelashes and finally to my lips.His thumb strokes the length of my lips, and I feel the warmth of it on my lips. I swallowed hard, and I found it unbearable to breathe. I slightly parted my lips, the hot breath against his thumb, and I noticed his eye shifted a bit. They seemed to glow with a different intensity as he stared at my lips.I could feel my mind going haywire and my heart pounding frantically with anticipation. ‘is he going to kiss me? Will I be getting my first kiss with him tonight?’ The thought filled my head and made my clit harden painf

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

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
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: THE SECRET I KEPT FROM KIM
NATHAN “Where's Kim?” My dad's cold voice had me frozen in a spot.I whirl around to face him, his face looks calm and composed, not for long anyway. “She left,” I said curtly, not wanting to go into details. He chuckled loudly and his voice echoed down the quiet hall. “She left? Or she's missing and you can't find her” Of course, he knew. It's his house, he will always know what is going on every second of the day. “She left…..and I can't reach her. But I'm going to find her”He walked closer to me, standing just a couple of inches away. He is a little bit shorter than I am but he still manages to intimidate me. His lips twitch and his brows furrowed in anger. “I told you to treat her right” “And I'm trying my best,” I replied through gritted teeth. He scoffs. “Trying your best? In two and a half years? Is this all you've got?”“Dad…I'm trying—”“Walk with me,” he said curtly, cutting me off and walking away down the hall.“No, I have to look for Kim”. He stopped in his tracks
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: KIM IS MISSING
NATHAN She captured my lips with hers, kissing me fiercely. But I didn't feel anything. I searched my heart for the hint, for a sign that backed up her claim but found nothing. I'm blank. Unlike when I was kissing Kim, I had a series of emotions I can't control, that I can't describe.Shit Kim!I push her away, and she staggers backwards, surprised.“Sassy stop this! Is this the reason why you ask me to follow you here?” My eyes were cold and distant. She can't keep doing this all the time we met. She can not keep acting Like she desperately wants me when she was the one who left with a word“Nathan….I….do you love her?” “You're not in a position to judge what I feel Sassy. I respect you as a friend, because of what you've done for me in the past. But I'm married now, I have a wife. And I wouldn't want her to walk in on something like this. Don't do it next time, please” I said and turned around to walk away.“She doesn't care. She doesn't care about you”. I stop in my tracks and t

KIMI walked out of the bathroom and ducked my head so no one could see the tears on my face. Damn you, Nathan, damn you!I ran upstairs into my room and shut the door with a loud bang that shook the artwork that was hanging on the wall.I lean against the door and put my head in my hands. What did I expect? He doesn't love me, and he has said that. Why did I dare that bitch? Why didn't I just ignore her and go back to my food? Tears pooled in my eyes, blurry my sight and they rolled down unrestrained, Unwelcomed. I sank to the ground, furious that I had expectations, that I dared to imagine things, that I had hoped that our relationship would become better after yesterday, after the kiss today.Damn you, Kim!I hit the back of my head against the wall, and again, and again, harder this time until I felt the pain. I bring my knees to my chest and fold my arms around it, holding tight as my tears continue to roll down uncontrollably. Stupid, you're crying over spilt milk. My subconsc

KIMThe evening continued quietly. Everyone was busy with whatever they had on their plate. The table was covered in all sorts of expensive seafood delicacies. They all look scrumptious and pleasing to the eyes. No doubt The Pearce Mansion must house a seasonal chef. The food is beautifully arranged like it was only meant for decorating the table, something you see in luxurious restaurants and hotels.Nathan passed me a plate of carefully peeled Alaskan spot prawns, surprising me. I glanced up, and I noticed I wasn't the only one surprised; everyone was looking at us. Could he have known it was my favourite seafood? He wasn't bluffing when he said he knew a lot more about me than I could have imagined. I thought since Sassy was present, he'd go back to his usual self, minding his own business. But he was quite attentive. As soon as I reach out to take plates close to him, he will pass them to me or scoop out some for me.Maybe I was too judgemental. “When are you both going to g
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: THE GUEST
KIMI couldn't bring myself to look Nathan in the eyes after we left the small office. It's almost dinner time and we need to go back home.I touched my swollen lips, still unable to believe what had just happened. ‘Nathan just kissed me, Nathan just kissed me’ I chant to myself, the sound of it so surreal.What the hell just happened? How did we end up like that?‘I know you want this too’ he had told me. I flushed brightly. I peek at him behind my lashes. He is back to his calm and composed self, unlike me, who is still struggling with the aftermath.He said you wanted it, but he never said he wanted it silly. My subconscious mind is at it again, sneering at me.Maybe she needs to be optimistic sometimes, and I need to stop overthinking like Phoebe had said.I took another peek at him beneath my lashes; he was engaged in small talk with the stable manager, and as if he noticed my eyes on him, he glanced towards me, and our eyes met. I look away immediately, feeling colour rising t

KIMWe drove to a private equestrian estate that belongs to their family.When he said let's ride, he was talking about riding a horse. The sport I found the most boring. “Why do we want to ride horses, I don't like riding them” I complained as he helped me fasten the protective gear “I know. And that's why I brought you here” he muttered “Why did you bring me here when you know I don't like riding?” I rolled my eyes in exasperation. I just don't get it“That's your punishment for getting drunk last night,” he said sternly “What? I…I thought—“You thought I forgot?” He asked, cutting me off and I nodded. “Why will I forget? I have been anticipating this since yesterday”, He is smirking at me.Now I'm beginning to wonder what he wants to do here“How did you know I don't like riding?”“I know a lot of things about you Kim”“Yeah, you can dig them out” I murmur, displeased “You can't dig out likes and dislikes of people unlike their personal information,” he remarked “Then how d
