The anger from Seth could be seen and heard that when he asked her questions again, particles of his saliva dropped on her face.

Kate closed her eyes eye a few seconds before opening back to meet the same angry gaze from Seth. Good thing, her mom had long been gone, she was in school alone, having no one to bug the shit out of her so she reminded silent.

She would not tell him that their little affair was known by her stepbrother some days back, she would not tell him that she couldn't tell what they were anymore, she would not tell him that she generally would stay silent till he got sick of her and leave by himself.

Well, Seth wasn't having it at all.

"Kate! When I talk to you, you fvcking answer me! Why haven't you been replying to my messages?" He asked almost calmly this time.

It was almost calm because he had reduced his voice but the angry vein could still be seen on his neck. His red face and clenched fist could be seen, making Kate stand still about remaining silent.

With their gaze locked, Seth groaned. It wasn't like he doesn't know about Kate and her silence. He knew that she does that shit to avoid problems but this time, it wasn't working.

"Let me guess, you want to break up. Right?" Seth asked.

Frankly, he doesn't even know what they were at all.

He doesn't even know what was even funny, awkward, and painful about their relationship.

Was it the fact that they weren't even officially 'anything', and Seth realized that he doesn't even have the right to make such a suggestion?!

Was it the fact that he doesn't know how to feel about her? The pain, the sense of belonging, and her annoying silence.

Damn! Things just kept getting worst.

Worst as the only thing Seth could think about their relationship was that they were familiar strangers.

For one year, for a whole year what they did was text themselves, arrange hook-ups, fvck, and have nothing about it after.

"We are just strangers that know ourselves" Seth whispered.

With the look on his face, Kate could no longer tell his emotions. It was like he was in pain but his expression was too calm. Very calm to that of an angry or pained huge man.

Huge in the sense that he was like a giant to Kate.

His bih figure, perfectly covering her small body so that people around would not notice Kate at all standing from angle. His broad shoulders, his back muscles, the veins on his arms, his neck, everything about him seem like they were perfectly sculptured.

Even if Seth was perfectly sculptured, their relationship wasn't.

What could she even think about him?

The fact that he was strange in her almost perfect and innocent life? The fact that he was the only unexpected thing in her controlled life?!

Seth was the only person in her life that had this aura. His techniques were different but she noticed them, there were Small, very small.

Kate couldn't even tell if she wanted to break up with Seth.

Would she?

If she happen to be in another person's shoes, would she break up with him? Would she afford to tell him that she would not want to see him again and hope her left get ironically perfect for her mother even without the woman noticing?

"Can you please go now?" She finally whispered to Seth "We will talk about 'this' later."

The way she said this and watched him walk away made her recall the first day she saw him. At the bar, where she was taken to celebrate a successful win by her seniors.

That night, part of the night she would never forget.

The night where she was intensively watched and was told to rebel against her mother. Even if her mother didn't find out, the fact that she was asked to try alcohol for the very first time in her life scared her. It scared the crap out of her, then, she saw Seth.

His magnificent aura was a strong scent of musk chocolate and fresh wood.

His beautiful hazel-Green eyes shone charming under the dimmed red light of the bar as he walked up to her and smirked.

She still remembered his voice, his smooth bass voice that told her to 'Go on, try it'.

At that moment, she felt like she was energized by his captivating look. His nice jawbone, the sly smirk that remained on her as she took the very first sip of alcohol in her entire life.

She recalled the way he told her that she did great and gave her his number afterward.

Well, how could she forget about his lips, the lips that made her imagine all manner of ungodly and rebellious things? About his eyes, which caught her in their trap that got her thinking about another day she would have the opportunity to look directly and closely into them.

Little did she know that they would get sucked as family strangers, stuck in their own world of confused hormones.

Heading to her dorm exhausted, Kate thought about any possible thing she could do. Maybe take a shower, sleep, and have some sugar later.

She wasn't even sure if she was tired or 'just tired'.

Immediately she got in, she thought about relaxing for a few moments before finalizing what to do when she heard Grace's voice. Grace had always been a loud person and her voice could be heard from her own dorm room.

Grace, her roomie who she wasn't sure she would call a friend. Well, they didn't basically share the same room, they just happen to be opposite each other. They didn't have any issues with each other, just that they don't really talk that much.

They do extremely random things together, like practice ballet, see each other, and even meet at the same dorm but still, they weren't friends.

A small smile spread on Kate's face as she thought about asking Grace what to do. It could be that Grace had better ideas of what to do, or how to be less mistakenly.

"She might be perfect" Kate groaned as she lazily got off bed.

Walking out of her room and close to Grace's side, Kate heard another voice and it wasn't what she would want to hear. The door was closed, but the room around was never soundproof.

Lots of moaning, screaming, and calling of each other names.

"Oh fuck! Fuck me Liam.... harder baby" Grace's voice said.

Although, Kate was tempted to believe that not only one person bares Liam but her mind kept the trick behind. She sneaked closer, making sure not to make a sound them she watched.

At First, Kate didn't want to believe what she heard until she moved closer to listen to the second voice then hell broke loose.

"You like it? You like it this way?" The voice asked with a grunt.

It was obvious he was thrusting, or doing something like that. And with her ears now closed to the door, Kate held her breath.

"Yes Liam, that way! Fvck me that way" Grace cried.

Her heart dropped and all the hope she had about him turned to pain. Why was she so devastated when she didn't tell him how she had always felt about him?

For one day, she didn't tell him that she have a huge crush on him and would want to be his girl.

Broken, Kate ran into her room to the fridge. She ranked it open and took the first can she touched.

'Yes! Yes!! Oh shit! Liam!!!'

Their loud voices didn't even try to be at least modest. Yelling the whole place down as of they were the first persons to have sex.

Before Kate realized it, she had drunk the whole of the drink she was holding. A small smile spread across her face as she remembered that it was the same Alcoholic drink she was asked to try the first day she met Seth.

Lazily, she stood up to take three more cans from the fridge and sat on the floor. Gulping the second bottle and a thought came to her pathetic mind so without thinking, she got her phone and dialed his number.

"Let's meet at a hotel room, I want to be fucked, Seth."

    Chapter 6Kate eyes were too heavy to open as she struggled to keep them open. Her head was throbbing like ten people were dancing on it and it ached so bad.There should have been a warning for her that the aftermath of taking alcohol was this painful. She was told about this during the college night party but she didn't expect this much headache.Her nose kept on picking every kind of smell making her nauseous and feeling like throwing up.She finally won the struggle against her own eyes and opened them, forcing herself to sit up on the bed.Everywhere was still blurry but the musty smell and the feel of the bed cover immediately told her where she was as the memories came rushing back.Right, she had been so devastated about finding out that Liam was having a relationship with Grace that she got so drunk and texted Seth.Suddenly remembering Seth, she turned to her side, expecting him to be laying next to her but she was surprised to see herself spawned on the bed, visibly naked w

    The jarring sound of the alarm interrupted Kate's sleep as she rolled over on the bed, using the pillow to cover her ears.As usual her alarm goes off by six am and she wakes up to prepare for the day but today, of all days, she was not rushing off the bed as usual.Irritated by the sound of the alarm which made its way through the pillow on her ears, she pushed the pillow off and stared at the duck shaped clock.A day won't hurt, right? She can sleep in and turn off the alarm instead of living like a robot as soon as the alarm goes off.A small smile crawled up her face as the idea of living a different life, even if it was just for a day, crossed her mind and she turned off the alarm.Sighing with relief as soon as the blaring noise was turned off, She snugged her bedsheet closer and closed her eyes.Yet she wasn't feeling okay. She wanted to rebel but the idea of rebelling was still strange to her. She can't believe that for the first time in a long time, if not Since she was born,

    After training in the gym, Kate rushed home to take her bath according to what she told Grace but she actually went back home because Grace wouldn't be home until evening and she needed some time to herself. The anger and hurt she was feeling while she exercised was higher than she expected because she kept on feeling like harming Grace. She had to leave in order to protect both herself and grace. What annoyed her the most was that Grace kept on acting like nothing happened, like she didn't just steal the man her friend had always talked about. As Kate came out of the bathroom in her bathrobe, she stared at herself in the mirror, wondering how she was able to keep a straight face when Grace asked about Liam from her. It was funny because why on earth would she be asking her about her boyfriend? It was almost as if she wanted to rub it in Kate's face that she can never have Liam, not that Kate cared anymore. Running her hands through her slightly damp hair as she plugged the air

    She blinked her eyes rapidly, closed them and opened them again, hoping that she was just seeing things as she stared at the picture.But nothing changed, it was still Seth.Kate told herself that it can't be possible, Seth can't be in her dance practice room.What could he possibly be doing there?She went back to the message Grace sent her and read it again."I think he's our new technician or something," the text read.Her hands went to her brows as she massaged it lightly. Technician? The last time she checked Seth wasn't anything special like that, he didn't really look like someone who was into that kind of job.But then again, she never really bothered to know anything about him, never asked, just like he never asked also, but he knows that she was a student studying business and finance.Could it be that he went to the practice room on purpose? Because he thought he would find her there?She shook her head. It wasn't possible, she might have shown signs but she never really t

    The sound of her phone ringing distracted her from working on the assignment that she has been staring blanky at for the past five minutes and Kate stood up , grateful for the distraction.She had kept her phone far away from her as a way to stop herself from getting distracted but forgot to switch it off, something that she felt relieved about.It wasn't that the assignment was hard, it was just that her thoughts were just too flooded with so many things, grace And Liam, Seth, and the worst of them all, her mother. It was just too much for her to even add the pressure of getting down with her assignment in order to get a perfect score.Ever since the call with her Mom ended, she had been trying not to think about what she said, how her mother said that she was disappointed in her.Didn't she think that Kate was a human too?

    The taxi stopped her at the entrance of the practice studio and Kate walked out feeling some eyes on her.She had been feeling this way, like someone was watching her since she took a step outside her house and the weirdest thing about it was the fact that she felt the person's presence and it felt like Seth.It was probably just her being paranoid or Maybe she was just thinking about him way too much these days to even have a feeling like he was watching her.Ignoring the paranoid feelings, she walked into the practice room and quickly changed into her clothes before practicing.Unlike other days where the room is usually smelling of feminine sweat and perfume, filled with pink ballet skirt and nude flat shoes, today was different.She was the only person inside, well, aside from one more person who was taking a nap, but it was technically only her and she loved it.Kate had always hated practicing ballet in front of the others, not that she felt she couldn't do well but because she

    Liam stood at the balcony of his apartment, staring outside his window and smiled softly as he watched some teenagers kiss each other.The memory reminded him of when he was with Kate, when they were still young, with Kate following him around like a puppy and he would ignore everything that she does.Weirdly enough these days, he finds himself thinking about her more and more. He never thought of her to be attractive but he was starting to see her as a woman, regardless of whatever he was feeling.The noise of the plate was clattering and people shouting down in the apartment below hurt his head and he frowned.He has to leave this place, the apartment was something that wasn't in his own way of lifestyle that he planned but that was not what he planned to.Turning around in the room, he frowned at the way the room was and shook his head.

  • In Love With The Wrong Man   50

    FinaleOne year had passed since that pivotal afternoon in Kate’s apartment, when she had sat on the couch, wrestling with the weight of her future. Now, as she walked across the bustling college campus, her steps were lighter, her heart fuller. The past year had been a whirlwind of change, growth, and unexpected joys. She had given birth to a beautiful baby girl, Emma, who had become the center of her world. Balancing motherhood, school, and her relationship with Seth had been challenging, but Kate had found a rhythm that worked for her. She was proud of how far she had come.The crisp autumn air carried the scent of fallen leaves, and Kate tightened her scarf around her neck as she made her way to the parking lot. Her classes for the day were over, and she was eager to get home to Emma. But first, she had a familiar face to meet. Seth had texted her earlier, letting her know he would be picking her up after class. It had become a routine of sorts—him driving her home, their conversa

    Chapter 49 The afternoon sun streamed through the windows of Kate’s apartment, casting a warm glow over the living room. She sat on the couch, her phone pressed to her ear, listening to her mother’s excited chatter about wedding plans. Her mother’s voice was animated, filled with the kind of enthusiasm that only a parent could muster when discussing their child’s future. But Kate’s mind was elsewhere, her thoughts swirling with uncertainty and a growing sense of unease. “Mom, I’m not ready to get married,” Kate finally interjected, her voice firm but gentle. She twisted a strand of hair around her finger, a nervous habit she had carried since childhood. “I still have so much to figure out. College, my career, this baby… I just don’t think now is the right time.” There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Kate could almost picture her mother’s face—her brows furrowed, her lips pressed into a thin line of disappointment. But when her mother spoke again, her tone was softer, m

    Chapter 48Kate lay in bed, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains of Seth’s bedroom. The sheets were warm, the room quiet except for the steady rhythm of Seth’s breathing beside her. She turned her head slightly, watching him as he slept, his face relaxed and peaceful. The events of the previous day replayed in her mind like a vivid dream, each moment etched with emotion and significance. Her thoughts drifted to the meeting with Seth’s father, Edward. It had been a whirlwind of introductions, apologies, and unexpected warmth. Edward had greeted her with a kindness that immediately put her at ease, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled. “I’ve been trying to get Seth to bring you home for months,” Edward had said, his voice tinged with amusement. “But he’s been like a goofy kid, always talking about you but never actually introducing you. I was starting to think you were a figment of his imagination.” Kate had laughed at that, the sound light and genuine.

    Chapter 47Kate sat in the waiting room of the clinic, her fingers nervously tapping against the armrest of the chair. The test was just a formality, she already knew. The subtle changes in her body, the fatigue, the nausea, it all pointed to one thing. But she needed to see it for herself, to have that confirmation in her hands. When the nurse finally called her name, Kate followed her into the examination room, her heart pounding. The doctor was kind, her smile reassuring as she handed Kate the results. “Congratulations,” the doctor said warmly. “You’re pregnant.” Kate stared at the paper, her vision blurring with tears. It was real. She was going to be a mother. Later, as she sat in her car, Kate took a deep breath and dialed her mother’s number. The phone rang twice before her mom picked it up. “Kate?” her mother’s voice was hesitant, almost apologetic. “Mom,” Kate began, her voice trembling. “I… I need to talk to you.” There was a pause, and then her mother said sof

    Chapter 46The theater was alive with energy, the air thick with anticipation as the finalists took their places backstage. Kate stood in the wings, her heart pounding in her chest. The stage lights glowed brightly, casting long shadows across the polished floor. She could hear the murmurs of the audience, the rustle of programs, and the occasional burst of applause. This was it. The moment she had worked for, sacrificed for, and dreamed of. Her fingers trembled as she adjusted the straps of her costume, the delicate fabric shimmering under the dim backstage lights. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, and let the music of her routine play in her mind. This wasn’t just about winning anymore. This was about proving to herself that she could rise above the expectations, the pressure, and the noise. “You’ve got this,” a voice whispered beside her. Kate turned to see one of the stagehands, a young woman with a kind smile, giving her an encouraging nod. Kate nodded back, her

    Seth had taken her to a quiet, upscale restaurant on the outskirts of the city. The ambiance was warm, the lighting dim but cozy, with a soft hum of classical music playing in the background. Their table was near a window, giving them a view of the city lights shimmering in the distance. Kate played with her napkin, trying to suppress the nervous energy bubbling inside her. Public dates weren’t their thing. At least, not until now. Seth, ever composed, reached for his glass of wine, taking a slow sip before meeting her gaze. “You’re quiet,” he noted. Kate glanced at him, picking at her food. “I was just wondering…” She hesitated before finally asking, “Why now? Why are we suddenly out in the open like this?” Seth leaned back in his chair, exhaling. “Because I don’t want to hide anymore.” Kate raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t mind hiding before.” “I did.” His voice was soft but firm. “I just didn’t realize how much until recently.” Kate set down her fork, tilting her head s

    Chapter 44 The studio was nearly empty, the faint sound of classical music playing from the speakers as Kate stretched her legs, trying to ease the tension in her muscles. Across from her, another dancer, Mira, a girl she had only spoken to a handful of times, was tying her hair into a bun, watching Kate through the mirror. “You know, I heard some talk,” Mira said casually, adjusting her tights and acting like she wasn't interested.Kate arched a brow. “What kind of talk?” Mira shrugged, stretching her arms above her head. “That your drama is getting too much. They might replace you.” Kate froze for a moment before forcing herself to continue stretching. “Oh? Who’s ‘they’?” Mira smirked. “The instructors. The higher-ups. Whatever.” She paused, then added, “Are you sure Grace isn’t the one spreading it? She’s been bitter ever since you got chosen without even trying.” Kate inhaled sharply. It made sense. Grace had always been competitive, and losing to someone she saw as un

    Chapter 43 Midnight crept in, but Kate was nowhere near sleep. The glow of her phone screen was the only light in the dark room, illuminating the anxious lines on her face. She had been restless for hours, unable to shake the nagging feeling that something was off. Finally, she gave in to the impulse and opened her social media. Her phone kept buzzing, notifications piling up from the post. She rolled over, scrolling mindlessly, until her blood turned cold. She had gone viral. Not in a good way. People weren’t just talking about the competition anymore. They were talking about Seth. About her. The moment the screen loaded, her stomach twisted and She suddenly realized that what she wanted, her popularity had turned into something else. Her post about the Grand Opera selection had exploded overnight, but it wasn’t just about the competition anymore. It was Seth. Someone had taken his picture and started a storm of speculation. Strangers were analyzing every detail, trying

    Chapter 42Kate sat at her desk, her textbooks open but unread, the screen of her laptop glowing with an unfinished essay. A half-empty cup of coffee sat beside her, long gone cold. She was supposed to be preparing for her exams, finishing assignments, and staying on track for college. But her mind refused to cooperate. She chewed on the end of her pencil, staring at the blank document in front of her. College felt distant now, overshadowed by a heavier, more immediate worry. Her missing period.What if she was pregnant? What if people find out what happened to her and Seth?The thought made her stomach twist. She hadn't taken a test yet—hadn’t dared to. The possibility alone was enough to send her spiraling. And what would Seth do if it turned out to be true? Her phone vibrated beside her. Mom boldly written on the caller ID.Kate's jaw clenched. She ignored it. She didn't have the energy to hear her mother's nagging or worse still, hear another sob story about her engageme
