Catherine (Cat) Landon thought she had built a life of trust and love with her husband, Alex Dawson—until she discovered he had emptied their savings to buy a diamond ring for his mistress. Heartbroken and lost, she sought escape in a club, only to be mistaken for a stripper and paid for a one-night stand by a mysterious stranger. That stranger was Aaron Dawson—her ex-husband’s ruthless older brother. Moments later, Cat finds herself at the mercy of a contract marriage with the same man she spent one unforgettable night with. Aaron is cold, calculating, and holds secrets of his own. He doesn’t believe in love, but he refuses to let Cat walk away. As she’s pulled into Aaron’s world of wealth, power, and deep-seated family betrayal, Cat must fight to reclaim her identity and seek revenge on the man who wronged her. But Aaron’s presence stirs something dangerous inside her—a passion she never expected. When old wounds resurface and dark secrets unravel, Cat must decide: will she allow herself to be consumed by vengeance, or will she open her heart to a second chance at love?
View MoreCat's heart beat against her chest to the roar of the slamming front door shut after her. Her breath came in shallow gasps, and her mind struggled to keep up with what her eyes had just seen. Then, right there in the centre of their marriage bed, was her husband—her husband, with another woman.
The woman lay in the bed, her legs all spread out and his tongue moving in and out from her, her scream vibrating across the room. She stood and watched as her husband was rough handling another woman's breast making her cum and also him cum without doing too much, her heart bleed as the sight. Her husband has refused to touch her claiming he was too weak and tired to do anything, even if she pleasure his cock, sucking on it as its life depends on it, he would only snap and tell her not to do it again. She felt the sting of the betrayal like a blow of a truck, and then, in that instant, she came to a reality and dashed at the door again.
Her hands shook as she grabbed the doorway's frame and the flood of anger and disbelief washed over her, the building wave ready to drag her under. The woman was on him now, their bodies intertwined in a beautiful rhythm that resulted in a strong shaking that ran through Cat bodily like a surge, she was moving herself down to his cock and going back up in a melody that made something stuck on her throat. Her knees gave way, but she pushed herself forward, her vocal cords tight but strong as she screamed, "Stop! Stop! What the hell is going on here?”
But he didn’t even flinch. With his cold, detached expression, her husband turned his head towards her, his eyes cold and unbothered. He didn’t even have the decency to stop. Rather, he casually addressed the woman with a grin "Just don't mind her. Keep going. I’m almost to the point of releasing my seed into your perfect heaven.”
Cat sensed her chest constrict, the humiliation and rage morphing into a pressure that felt like a fire in a hose, flowing through her veins. She didn’t know whether to scream, to cry, or to simply collapse in defeat. But she refused to show weakness in front of him.
“What. What's this?, she inquired, trying to make sense of the scene in front of her.
They still didn't mind her. The woman moved faster as her husband screamed and she brought her breast to him to suck the hell out from her. Cat refuses to let her tears fall again for him.
Her voice wavered, but she couldn’t stop herself. “I went to the supermarket today, and the account. It's empty. She paused, the realization hitting her like a cold slap. “Did you—did you use it to bet again? You know that money is barely enough to keep us going? We haven't paid rent for this month, and we were holding the landlord for last month. Do you want us to get evicted? To starve to death?”
Her husband didn't even look her way, only staring at the woman in his arms and whose soft laughter did terrible things to Cat's gut. He didn't care enough to even look at the woman he had sworn to love. The woman he promised to live his entire life with, in sickness or wealth—until death do them part.
“You’re always looking at my bad side, Cat”. His voice was low, mocking, as if she was nothing more than an annoyance to him. He slid out from the woman's pussy but didn't bother to dress up. “Maybe you should get better first, and rather not stand here sulking every day. You look older than me, and it’s disgusting. I'm done with it," He redirected himself towards the other woman, leaving his wife behind, a distinct person altogether.
Cat could feel the tears welling up, but she refused to let them fall. Not yet. She wasn’t weak—she wouldn’t break in front of him. She had worked so hard to build a life with him, and now, in an instant, everything had been shattered. “What did you use our savings to do? I want to know?"
He looked at her with hatred and disgust, if a look can kill, she would be dead by now. "What do you think I used it for? I got a new wife and I needed a ring to propose to her. You were always so stupid and dumb.”
Her throat hurts, she tried to swallow but the lump refused to go down. “You’ve been using our savings… to buy a ring for her? Her voice broke, but she held on to her anger. How could he do this?
Her husband made a grunt sound and seized the woman in his hands so that he was up to the level of her chin and gave a kiss to the woman. “She’s everything you’re not, Cat.” He whispered in the woman’s ear, and she blushed, hiding behind his hand as if it were a shield.
“Why–” her voice broke, her eyes burning. “You promised me that we will always be together. You freaking promised"
The woman glanced at Cat with a smirk, her lips curling in disdain. “He doesn’t want you anymore, sweetheart. Her voice dripped with venom. “I’m the one he loves. I’m the one who can satisfy him. You’re just a shadow in his life. You meant nothing to him, just take a good look at you, do you think he is going to choose you over me?”
Cat’s chest tightened at the words. “How dare they?”
“No… this can’t be real. Please, tell me this is a prank. Cat’s voice wavered with desperation as she stepped forward, reaching out to her husband. “Please, tell me you didn’t do this… I can overlook that you made a mistake and brought a prostitute to our bed. Please—”
The woman groaned at me, her eyes staring daggers. “Who do you think is called a prostitute? I am his fucking bride. She showed the cat the ring. The diamond is shining and glinting in the room.
“You told me you couldn't afford a ring on my wedding day, but you bought a diamond for another person," the tear that threatened to fall started pouring. This was the height of it all
But her husband didn’t even flinch. He scoffed, his eyes glinting with malicious amusement as he reached for something on the bedside table. “It’s not a prank, Cat. It's over," He raised a piece of paper, a divorce. Without hesitation, he slapped it onto her chest. “Sign it, or get out. I don’t want to see your face ever again. You stick and my wife can't be smelling you in her room”
Cat recoiled, her heart shattering in the face of his coldness. “You’ve got to be kidding me. She took a step back, unable to believe what was happening. All that we've been through. And that's how you repay me?”
He sneered at her, his gaze hardening. “We’ve been through nothing, Cat. You’re just a mistake I’m fixing. He stepped closer, his hands gripping her by the neck, his touch suffocating. “Sign it, or I’ll make sure you never see another dime. This money was from our joint account. I have the right to it too. You loved me right, and want my happiness, my happiness is you leaving me and signing the divorce papers”
Tears spilled down Cat’s cheeks as she trembled. The weight of his words crushed her, but she fought to keep her composure. She felt like screaming, rebelling, but all she could come up with was that she stood there dumbfounded. “You’re making a mistake… You are going to wish that you didn't do this. I promise you.”
He inserted the pen into her hand, his face a picture of pleasure. “Sign it, or I’ll make sure you regret it.”
Cat stared at the paper, her tears making the text become unclear. She didn't want to—she didn't want to—but her hand shook as she wrote her name. The divorce was official.
Her husband took the paper, waving it in front of her like a victory flag, a cruel smirk spreading across his face. “Finally. I’m free of you. He pushed her out of his way with a force that knocked her to the floor. “Now get out and never show your disgusting face here again.”
Cat rose from a kneeling position with trembling limbs, her body riddled with the force of her feelings. She wanted to collapse, but she refused to show weakness. Instead, she turned toward the door, her voice barely above a whisper but filled with venom, “You’ll pay for this. Everything you’ve done to me… I’ll make sure of it. You will regret this.”
She vowed to herself as she walked out, still bleeding, that she would never let him take her whole. She wasn’t done. Not yet.
She had also made some findings and she was going to find out about her as well. Cat was still standing, wondering the kind of questions that she had for her. " You can go ahead and ask," Cat asked. " So I checked about you and all that I found out about you were not pleasant things. You left your marriage, you were married to someone, and then you left. You got married the second time, and it happened to be his brother? You could not find someone else to get married, would you? What is it about this family that made you come back here?" She said. Cat felt a little offended by the way she talked to her. " When you said you had something to ask me or to talk to me about I thought they were something sensible, but it was not. You could not do a proper finding and come up with something good" she said. Cat ran her eyes all over her. " I know that I am telling the truth; maybe because you wanted this company to yourself, that was why you went ahead and did what you did," she sai
The mail had been sent and they were expecting her to show up already. The place was set for her; she was ready to walk into the place with her head held high and her shoulders were not to be left out. She drove into the place and saw how the building was, she sighed. A feeling of disappointment rushed through her. She wanted something more than what she was seeing there. " I can not believe that that faking is threatened by this little establishment." She shook her head. She stepped out of her car and walked towards the building, the door was opened for her. Her lips parted into a smile. She walked to the receptionist and was highly welcomed. Aaron was waiting for her already, he stood by the door, then he saw her. " Welcome, you are highly welcomed," he said with a smile. She did not return the smile; she walked towards him with a frown on her face. " I thought I was going to be welcomed so well, where are the others? You can not be the only one welcoming me to this place. I
The ground would have to give way to what was coming for it. The shoes were right on point, like something that she had rocked before, but they were new, fitted, and so beautiful on her legs. Her slim legs were perfect; they looked like they had been in many offices, and she was perfect for the role.She looked around the place, hoping that no one noticed her. She came from a rich home, and her father had wanted her to take over the family business, but she turned that down; she wanted a career in fashion, and she was going to have it. She looked around her. Sophia had promised her that she was going to be at the airport to pick her up, and now there was no Sophia in sight. " What the hell? I do not want to be kept waiting; there are better things to do with my life and my time than spend it waiting for someone who is going to show up late; I do not deal with anything lateness," She rolled her eyes. She walked to the other side before she saw Sophia coming towards her. " I am so
They rushed down to the lawyers office this time around. There was an attack on him for the second time. They sat down and listened to his assistant as he could not make it to the office. " I hope he is going to be fine?" Aaron asked his assistant. " He is, he is receiving treatment, and he is going to be fine," he said. Cat nodded her head. She wondered who was behind this treatment, who was doing this to them, and for how long they were going to be in this. " I called you two here because this is no longer safe with me. You both can have it; I am tired of keeping it here with me," he said. " What is that?" Cat asked. " Your trust fund, you do have your marriage certificate right?" " It has been submitted; my secretary handled things yesterday that we got married to; we did not want to waste any time on it," he said. " That sounds better," he said He left the office and came back later with a piece of paper in his hands, the paper was signed and stamped on." I had to do th

She was not going to let what had happened during the wedding determine how she was going to feel. " It's fine, there is nothing to worry about. I'm sure you can remember that I got everything under control before they could realize that their plans were not going to work out" she said. " Interesting, I am never going to forget about this or forgive them, they have to pay for what they tried to do to me. They have to pay for it" he said. " We should talk about this later, but for now, we need to have a good night. It is the night of our wedding, and it should be perfect; I want it so," she giggled beside him. She wanted to have a blast that night. It was all that she had ever wanted. Anything to get her excited and then she leaves the family, but before she leaves the family, she has to make sure that they are all shattered and they must have felt her presence there. A lot of things were going on in her head. She was dressed in red lingerie and had her hands wrapped around Aaron.
