All Chapters of The Toxic Marriage : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“So what’s going on with those two?” Alec asked Kathleen, taking a sip from the hot coffee as he enjoyed the little break he got from the office.“I don’t know honestly,” Kathleen responded with a sigh, Alec had sent a driver to pick up Kathleen so that he could enjoy the break with her. This café was Alec’s favorite; it wasn’t a fancy one but a very cozy little café with a library theme.“They spend most of the time in the bedroom and even miss the days with Juan. I don’t want my son to be around nannies while the father is locked inside the room.” Kathleen couldn’t believe Ryker was ruining his life like this. “He is slacking on work, his brand is doing so damn well but I fear if he kept being so irresponsible, his brand will fail very soon.” Kathleen hadn’t told Alec about Ryker doing drugs, she was well aware of the damage it could cause Ryker if the news acciden

“What was all this Ryker?” Kathleen forced her body weight onto one leg and stared at Ryker in disbelief, “How do you explain your behavior?” she continued to ask him super annoyed. Her quizzical stare was making Ryker feel guilty, but why?Why would he feel guilty for protecting his own wife?“He was asking for you,” Ryker hunched over a little and shouted in desperation, “For my wife.” As he added, the anger on Kathleen’s face quickly changed into confusion.She was taken aback by Ryker being possessive about her when they were not even together anymore. The silence between them grew more intense, hinting that one of them owes the other some explanation.“Ryker! If I had behaved like this with Eloise back when you brought her home, how would have you reacted to it?” Kathleen tried to not think too deeply about his reaction, sometimes ignorance is bliss.“Just because I was wr

"Alec! It's not that easy. Besides, he had made me sign a contract which leaves me in a vulnerable state regarding my son if we ever get a divorce." Kathleen tried to give out as many of the details as she could in one sentence but there was still so much left out."What kind of contract? He can't make you sign whatever without your knowledge. Did you not read the contract or your lawyer didn't check?" Alec was confused at how naive Kathleen was for signing something that she had not read."I just know that the contract exists and I signed it in the presence of witnesses," Kathleen responded with a sigh."That cunning bas***," as Alec cussed at Ryker, Kathleen looked away anxiously. She nervously fidgeted with her fingers and promised to not show a reaction but failed."Our situation is different, both of us have done stuff to each other, either intentionally or unintentionally." she didn't like the fact that Alec was blaming Ryker and name-calling him wh

Eloise and Ryker took Juan and drove to Alec’s place. Since Ryker was already feeling drowsy, Eloise was driving the car whilst Juan was sleeping in the passenger seat in the car seat. His hand was getting sweaty constantly but kept telling himself it was because of the nervousness, he was indeed afraid of Kathleen getting angry at him for visiting her and probably ruining their fun time.“That’s t---,” Eloise parked the car from across the road and pointed at the car in sight. She purposely sounded surprised when their eyes were greeted by a shocking image.“I truly love you a lot,” Alec gently cupped Kathleen’s face in his hand as she rode him in the passenger seat. It wasn’t a se* in process, they have already reached the ending.Eloise steadily tossed her face to Ryker to see his reaction and she was content to see what she was seeing. Ryker had his eyes glued to them with tears sparkling through them.&

"Hmm, she is your ex?" Olivia sat down with Roy on the bench in the park next to her home as he felt like drowning in guilt."Is she?" Roy broke the stare from the emptiness and watched Olivia's face for a reaction.
