LOGINThere was an awkward pause, but a few seconds later, Cole burst out laughing. He stood up and paced around the office uneasily.
"And where did you get this idea from? I love her? Oh please, it was just a convenient arrangement for me. I wanted a wife, and she needed help; there's definitely no love in this arrangement," Cole said.He was trying to convince himself more than he was trying to convince Mark, and he didn't dare to look at Mark's face because he feared that he would see through him.Mark shrugged. He had a calm, unbothered look on his face."You can keep believing that if it makes you feel better, but you should know that you're just lying to yourself here. You love that woman, and that's why you're reacting like this. The fact that she caught you makes you feel guilty because you can no longer pretend to be the perfect husband in front of her!" Mark told Cole bluntly."No!" Cole snapped and shook his head, "That's not it; I am not in love with hThere was an awkward pause, but a few seconds later, Cole burst out laughing.

Cole frowned and squinted his eyes as he tried to see who was behind the large sunglasses. The man finally took off the glasses, grinning widely at Cole.Cole frowned even more, but his face visibly relaxed."What are you doing here?" He asked rudely. The man ignored Cole's rudeness, directly sitting on the couch in the office."I came to see my friend; it's been what? Five years since we met each other? The last time we talked, you told me you were getting married, and your mom said you had twin daughters now! What is going on in your life?" Mark grinned at Cole.Cole scoffed angrily and stood up from his chair. He headed for the small refrigerator inside the office, bringing out a bottle of whiskey and pouring it into two glasses for him and Mark."Don't remind me of that," he said. He didn't want to be reminded of the shithole that was his marriage.For the past five years, he had thought that he had everything under control.Bridget was well aw
Cole was in his office, completely focused on his work. The last few days between him and Bridget were tense, and so he threw himself into his work to avoid having to deal with it.Someone knocked on the door just then, and Cole called for them to come in without even looking up.A beautiful woman walked into the office just then. She was holding a cup of coffee, and she sashayed over to Cole's table sexily.The woman was wearing a tight skirt that showed off her curvy body, as well as a tight-fitting top that displayed her C-cup-sized breasts perfectly."Here's your coffee, just the way you like it, Cole," the woman said as she dropped the coffee on the table.She made sure that her breasts were visible as she bent over; however, none of these things had any effect on Cole.The woman bit her lips, as her attempts to seduce were not working at all.In the past, Cole would have pulled her over and bent her over the desk, having sex with her already.
Cole grabbed her hand and shoved her away from him. "Don't you dare compare yourself to my wife; she's a hundred times better than you. And if you had any self-respect, you wouldn't be begging me to leave my wife for you. Get the heck out of my life and stop being a nuisance," Cole warned her.Lucy was unwilling to listen, however, as she threw herself into Cole's arms and hugged him tightly while shedding bitter tears.No matter how many times he tried to push her off, she just refused to let go."I don't care. I don't care about anything else. I just want to be with you. Please, please just stay with me. I can be your dirty secret if you want; you don't have to leave your wife. I can be your side chick. Please just give me a chance to prove to you that I love you more than your wife ever will," Lucy pleaded without a care for her own pride."You are absolutely disgusting. Get off me! I don't care what my mother told you, but you and I will never be a couple!" C
Cole sat facing his father, an angry look in his eyes. "Dad, I can't continue to tolerate this anymore. I didn't say anything because I got married behind your back, but that doesn't mean that I am going to tolerate Mom being rude to my wife all the time. Bridget has never done anything to her, and ever since we got married, she's done her best to be a good daughter-in-law. Why does she have to suffer like this whenever she comes here?" Cole asked angrily.For the first time, he saw how nasty his mother could be to Bridget. Whenever Bridget told him how his mother acted, he would brush it off because he thought it wasn't a big deal.But seeing for himself now, he was too angry to think properly.Hector took a sip out of the glass of whisky in his hand. "Why do you think your mother treats her like this? It's all your fault; if you had done what we wanted back then and married Lucy like we wanted, we would all be a happy family, and things wouldn't have come to this,"
Bridget grabbed her kids hands, and she was leaving with them, but Kate stood in front of her, a malicious frown on her face."And where do you think you're going with my grandkids? Do you think I'll just let you walk away like that? You can leave, but leave my grandchildren. It would be best if you never came back. I will find a good woman for my son and a good mother for the girls!" Kate yelled in Bridget's face."That's enough, Mom, that's enough!" Cole finally snapped.Kate turned towards her son, tears in her eyes. It was the first time her son was yelling at her like this.Even if she went too far before, he always tolerated her attitude.Kate glared at Bridget once again, blaming her for what happened.She was unwilling to admit that she had done anything wrong. "Cole, are you really going to yell at your mother all because of this woman? Don't you see that she's just trying to come in between us here?" Kate asked her son."Mom, please, I am
