KATHRYN POV

“Sorry… I didn’t know you were…"

Leanne did not finish her words. She kept looking at me and Iris. She looked surprised and sorry at the same time.

“I’ll come back later,” she said quickly. Started to walk away. "I didn’t mean to interrupt.”

“It's okay.” I said it too fast.

Leanne was already gone. The door closed behind her. It seemed loud.

Then there was silence. It was an uncomfortable silence.

I did not want to look at Iris. So I picked up a file from the table. I was not readin

I grabbed my bag and walked out. I thought he might stop me.He did not say anything. He just kept watching me.I went to my lawyer's office and the storm inside me got worse.I was inside my lawyers office for hours.When I left the sky was dark again.******The house was really quiet when I walked in. My hand had barely opened the door when I heard Celine.“Mummy!" she said. Her little feet were running towards me fast. She ran into me. Wrapped her arms around my waist. “I missed you!" she said, breathing hard.I felt my body relax a little. I was still tense. It was not as bad. I put my hand on her hair. Smoothed it. “I missed you too," I said quietly.For a moment I just stood there with Celine. Then I looked up. That is when I saw Iris. I did not call out to him. I did not say anything to him. I

    KATHRYN POVI did not slow down as I walked down the stairs. “Running again Kathryn?" he said. His voice stopped me before I even reached the step.I stood still for a second. Then I made myself move again, stepping down the stairs slowly. “I do not have time for this Iris," I said without looking at him.My fingers got tighter around my car keys.I felt him move closer to me. “That did not look like anything,” he said, his voice was lower now. He sounded like he was holding something back. “You do not take a child away from someone like that for no reason, " he said.My jaw got tight.I turned to face him slowly. “Because you do not belong in her life, " I said.Each word I said was colder than the last.There was silence.“I am protecting my child,” I said. “From what?" he asked, his voice was softer now.It was more intense.“From me?" he said.The answer was yes. I was protecting my child from him. I could not say that. So I chose to be cold and distant.“Kathryn…" he started to

    KATHRYN POVThe kiss started rough. Desperate. He placed his hands to my jaw, holding me in place as his lips pressed harder against mine. There was no hesitation. My panties were all wet, his kisses made me so horny. My fingers had already curled into the front of his shirt. Gripping. Pulling him closer. Like I needed to feel something. Something real.His other hand slid to my waist. Warm. Grounding. The contact sent an electric feeling through me. My body remembered him easily. Too quickly. Like it had been waiting. Like it had never learned how to forget.I hate this."Iris," I tried to say his name, but it came out broken. Swallowed my whole mouth as he kissed me again. Slower and deeper this time. My chest tightened painfully. Suddenly the kiss was about everything we never got to say. Everything he had taken from me.Just like that. Reality crashed back in. I jerked back sharply. Pushed him back hard."No! What are we doing?" I whispered. More to myself than to him. My stoma

    KATHRYN POVThe room seemed to get smaller around us.Jacob stood up straight. “How dare you come between my wife and I?" he demanded. The word wife made something inside my chest twist.Iris did not react the way Jacob had wanted him to. He did not match the chaos. He just stood there. He was composed in a way that only seemed to make Jacob more unhinged.“Control yourself,” Iris said calmly. His tone was even. It was almost dismissive. "Stop acting like a fool.”The insult landed where it was meant to. Jacob let out a laugh. It was humorless. He dragged a hand through his hair as he paced once. He looked like a man trying to contain something big to hold.“Oh I see what this is,” he said. My stomach tightened. “You’ve been sleeping with my wife again haven’t you?" The air shifted instantly. I felt it. It was sharp. It was violent. Iris did not answer immediately. I saw it. The flicker in his eyes. The restraint. The anger he was holding back tightly it almost looked like contro

It made me feel worse. “Kathryn…" Iris started to say.I stopped him. "I’ll take the project,” I said. "That is what you wanted right?”Iris looked at me. I saw something in his face. It was not happiness or satisfaction. It was somethingI told him again, "We will keep this professional. No perso

    KATHRYN POVAnna moved a little, making us look at her again with her hand on her stomach in a way that seemed like she was trying to make a point."Oh,” she said in a voice trying to sound nice. "I hope you do not mind, Kathryn."Her eyes met mine. I saw it, it was obvious she was trying to make fun of me and get me."I just think it is good for my child to have both parents,” she said, "Especially now that the baby is on the way."Celine's little hand squeezed mine. "Mommy...?" she whispered.That one word made me focus. She is my responsibility. She is my reason. Jacob moved beside me."Kathryn…”I did not look at him. Not even for a second. "Come on Celine," I said gently, my voice calm and steady. "Let's go eat something else.""But Mommy I am not done with…""We will eat somewhere nicer and calm,” I said.She hesitated, then nodded, trusting me like a kid can.As I reached for her hand Anna spoke up again, her voice light but sharp. "You are not upset are you?"I stopped for a
