MasukCatherine (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?
Lihat lebih banyakCat'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.
Alex felt his heart breaking into so many pieces. He could not believe what he just saw. He had driven back to the house and locked himself in his room. Sophia followed as soon as she saw him. There was so much pain in her heart somehow seeing her brother that way, but it did not mean she really cared for him that much. Alex lets his hands punch the wall so many times, like it was going to heal him or wipe out his memory of the things he saw and heard. " How did I not notice it? How did I not see it? Why was I so dumb the whole time?" He punched the wall again, blaming himself so much. He thinks he is the reason she went about with Aaron. " Why does he have to take the women away from me? He can have any woman he wants to have, but always goes for the ones that are mine?" It made no sense to him. Sophia was at the door, she raised her hands and began to hit the door so fast and loudly. She was breathing so fast as well. She tried to open the door but it wouldn't open. " I know
She walked up to Aaron and sat close to him. Her fingers trailing on his dress, he removed them and adjusted on his seat. " You two are apart, it is such a good thing to see that you are seated here while Cat is at the other side" she smiled. " Aren't you meant to be with Alex? You should not be here, and I think we should play it safe. This is a public gathering; leave this place," he said. Her presence was very embarrassing to him, he never wanted to be seen in public with her. " I have something to tell you, it is important to know about it," she said. Aaron says upright." Be fast with it," he said. " I am leaving Alex, he is not the kind of man I want. I want you instead, you should have been the one for me, but Alex got into the wall," she said. Aaron stared at her, he felt she was out of her mind. " You must have drunk a lot, you should stop drinking so much." he took the glass cup from her hands and dropped it on the table. " I am not drunk, and you know this," she to
She had to let Sophia go. Anger welled up in her heart as she watched Sophia go from room to room without any restrictions. Her heart sank. Alex could not understand how Sophia was able to do that without Rebecca trying so hard to bring the earth to its knees. Rebecca got into her room and immediately locked the door. She went down to the ground behind her door, wondering how Sophia got to know about what happened. She had been careful and made sure she was not being followed, yet, Sophia was able to find out about it and made her look stupid. " How did she get to know what I am up to? She was not meant to find out about anything. It was never in her place to know about anything" she said. She stood up and stayed by the window, hoping that Alex did not know about it. She was not scared that he was going to find out; she just did not want him to find out so soon. She stayed up late into the night, thinking about it and wondering how many people must have found out about it. The
Aaron got a call from his mother the moment he got to the house. His hands began to shake, they were not able to hold the phone so well. " He must have told her about it," he sighed. He watched the phone ring till it stopped. He felt he was not ready to face his mother about Rebecca, and he also did not wish to speak about it. His phone rang again, his mother won't stop till he picks up. He had no other choice but to answer it. " Hey, it is such an awkward thing you decided to do today," He said, trying to make it be on a lighter note. " I called to remind you about my event tomorrow, I want you there. It will be a shame that I have had such an event and you are not there. Do not embarrass me, I want you there, and I'm calling to remind you," she said.He was relieved it was not about Rebecca, then he frowned when he thought about his mother's reasons. He imagined her telling the press about how her family is united and probably the best. He sighed as he sat on the bed. Things
