Chapter 8
PAULINE
Larry did not even look guilty or ashamed instead, there was a smirk on his stupid handsome face.
He walked up to me, pulled me closer to himself and tucked in my hair behind my hair.
"If I could do it to Leslie who is better than you, why do you think I can not do same to you?" He whispered in my ears.
Cold shivers ran down my spine and I was utterly speechless.
"You jerk! Asshole! How could you? I did not seduce you to cheat on Leslie! You came to me!" I yelled angrily at Larry who was walking toward the stairs to his room.
"You are the reason for our breakup. If not for you, I would still be with timid Leslie and enjoying her money. I mean, do you think I'd leave the third wealthiest family daughter just to be with you? Keep on dreaming!" He yelled right back at me.
"You are shameless Larry and I will ruin you. Don't think you can get away with this. I'm not like Leslie that left without doing anything even when she had the power and money to do something.
But I'm different. I will do everything to ruin you. You messed with the wrong person." I yelled at him. Even if I don't have money and power like Leslie do, I'll still do everything in my power to ruin him.
He showed me his middle finger and left.
"Dress up let's go!" I snapped at Anna who was only in a towel that could barely cover her butt.
"I'm sorry Pauline." She bent her head in shame.
"It's okay. Not like you knew he was my boyfriend." I replied and left.
Larry must pay for humiliating me. I agree that this is karma. I knew he was Leslie's boyfriend then but I still slept with him and dated him behind my friend's back.
This is karma getting back at me.
LESLIE
I yawned lightly from my short nap and climbed down from the bed. I looked around and Caden was not in sight. I slipped my foot into my flip flops.
I left the room and went to the kitchen and there, I met Caden eating grapes.
"Hi," I said to him and walked over to the fridge and took out a bottle of water. I gulped it down and threw the can away in the waste bin.
"You are awake? I thought you were not going to wake up." Caden teased.
"What do you mean? It's not even evening yet." I rolled my eyes. Caden looked at me and laughed.
"It's nightfall already." Caden replied. He placed another grape in his mouth and chewed. "I get why you feel that way, it's because everywhere is bright inside the house but it's dark outside." He added.
"What?" I asked in disbelief. I went to the sitting room to check the time and it was fifteen minutes past seven.
"Wow! I did not know I slept for so long. I slept for four hours, I must have been really tired." I stated.
"I thought so too." He replied.
Just when he was about to put the last piece of grape in his mouth, I took it from the bowl and placed it in my mouth.
"Huh? Why did you do that? It's mine." He grumbled like a child.
I stuck out my tongue a little at him and gave him a "I won"look.
Just then, Caden moved closer to me, titled my head and kissed me deeply, taking the grape right into his own mouth.
I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say.
"What did you just do?" I managed to ask still in shock. My cheeks had gone pretty hot.
He chewed the grape and stuck out his tongue like a child at me.
"It's mine," He said with a teasing smile.
"That was cheap of you. You could not even leave the last grape for me." I grumbled and glared at him.
"Your eyes will hurt from too much glaring." He chuckled.
"Your strawberries are in the fridge and I got grapes for myself. I did not know you liked grape, I would have gotten many," He said.
"Grapes are my favorite!" I did not know when I yelled.
I was so pained that I did not get to eat the grape but I liked the fact that he kissed me to take it from me.
"Are you sick? Your face is red." He suddenly gasped and touched my face. I removed his hand from my face and bit my lower lip.
"I'm not sick." I replied. I was even more embarrassed because I was blushing just from the mere thought of him kissing and taking the grape out of my mouth.
Just then, Caden caught me unaware by placing a quick kiss on my lips.
"You are just too pretty and cute," He said.
I widened my eyes in shock and just stared at him.
"You don't have to act surprise anytime I kiss you. You are—" Caden was saying but I caught him off with a kiss.
His eyes widened but he closed them and deepened the kiss.
He raised me up and placed me on the counter. He trailed kisses from lips down to my neck. His hands went into my shirt and his hand caressed my back.
His other hand was on my thigh. He placed his hand inside my baggy shorts and caressed my thigh.
God! I was so hot.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him even harder. His hand went to my boobs and he squeezed it gently from my bra while I let out a soft moan.
He took me from the counter and carried me into the bedroom.
He laid on me on the bed and hurriedly started to pull his hoodie.
He laid back on my body and resumed kissing me.
Just as he took off my shirt, I pulled abruptly away from the kiss.
I was back to my senses yet again like the previous night.
"Wait! I just got my period!" I didn't know when I yelled those words that were lies and slipped away from under him and left the room. Again.
Chapter 142LESLIE Caden and I stared at each other with saying anything.“Hi.” Caden smiled at me.“Hi. It’s been a while.” I replied.“It’s been years already Leslie. It’s good to see you again and you look different too,” Caden said.I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.“Is he your son?” Caden asked as he looked at Miguel.I nodded my head.“Can we go somewhere and talk? Or can we set a date?” He asked. I thought about it for a while.“I’m free now. We can look for somewhere to sit and talk or maybe go to a restaurant. Anywhere it’s fine by me,” I said.“Let’s go to a restaurant, that would be better,” Caden said.Caden led the way while I held Miguel’s hand and trailed behind him.We got to the restaurant and sat down and I noticed that Caden’s eyes were on Miguel and his gaze wouldn’t leave Miguel.“Is Miguel, perhaps my son or are you married?” Caden asked. I noticed he was nervous.I chuckled softly.“I’m not married and yes, Miguel is your son. I conceived him the night of Chr
Chapter 141LAUREN “Calm down Lauren. Lower your voice,” She said and sighed.“I don’t need to reduce my voice because I know dad and mom are currently out of the country for a business trip and you are the only one around!” I snapped at her.“Okay. Back to what you said. I didn’t tell Caden anything. If there’s anything I told him, it is for him not to divorce you and try to love you. I’m not thinking of gritting back with him or anything.” She stated.I wanted to believe her but I just could not.“Can you prove what you just said?” I asked.“What do you mean?” She retorted.“How can you prove that you have no intention of getting together with Caden. How do you want me to believe you?” I asked with arms wrapped underneath my boobs.“Is that what you want?” She asked and I nodded my head.“If that’s what you want, I will leave. I will leave the country, if that is what will make you believe me and put your mind at rest, She said.“Are you serious right now? You are willing to cut ti
Chapter 140LESLIE I shook my head negatively.“I’m fine. I don’t need to go to the hospital.” I replied with a smile.Caden turned to look at me and his gaze had softened.“Why haven’t you come to beg my once to spare you and your family? Instead you plead with me not to abandon Lauren.” Caden asked.“I was never yours in the first place neither were you mine. I know my place and I stand by it. We did love each other and had beautiful moments together but it was all a lie because I wasn’t your real wife. I was nothing but a fake and substitute bride. I don’t want to ruin anything further than this,” I said.Caden nodded his head.“I’m the only one who should pay for this crime because I deceived you, lived with you and pretended to be who I was not. You have every right to feel angry and betrayed towards me.I know you will never trust me again but it’s okay.” I smiled.I just could not stop smiling at him.“I’m no longer angry, Leslie. I will drop the case against you. I have forg
Chapter 139CADEN During my drive back home, I thought about what happened in the hospital back in Korean.I could now understand why Lauren was acting clingy towards and why she kissed me and Leslie wasn’t mad then.It was because she knew Lauren was my real wife and not her.She knew she didn’t have any right to feel jealous.Every thing now made sense to me.I got home and I met Lauren in the sitting room.“You should get ready and go to your parents mansion.” Was the first thing I told Lauren the moment I saw her.She looked gobsmacked.“Didn’t you hear me?” I walked up close to her.She stood up from the couch and stood in front of me.“What are you talking about? Where did you go so early this morning? I woke up but I couldn’t find you, I called you but you wouldn’t pick up,” She said.“That’s not what I’m talking to about right now, Lauren!” I half yelled.I was really very angry. I never imagined that two sisters could think of deceiving me this way.It was just unacceptable.
Chapter 138LESLIE “Sir Caden is here.” A maid came to inform us.We heard the doorbell and told one of the maids to get the door since we were eating.Rose joined us for breakfast because she came to pick dad up but she came right about when we were eating.Mom asked for her plate to be placed so, Rose joined us.“You can continue eating. I will attend to him.” I told my parents and stood up from the chair. I places the chair properly and went to the sitting room.Caden didn’t look too please to see me or rather, he didn’t look like happy at all.“Good morning. What brings you here this early morning?” I asked with a confused look.“You are Leslie right?” Caden asked.I looked at him confused. Why was he asking me?“Yes, I am.” I replied.“You were the one I got married to and lived with for the past year right?” Caden asked again.At that moment, I was taken aback and felt so stunned. I was dumbfounded and speechless.I was so surprised.Different kind of emotions that I could not
Chapter 137CADEN “Babe? I mean, sir.” Lauren walked up to me with a smile and handed me some files.I took the files and went through them before signing them.I handed them back to her.“Thank you.” She smiled and held them closely to her chest.“Do you want to perhaps go on a date with me later?” She asked with a smile.I looked at her and smiled.“Sure. We could go after closing hour right?” I replied.“Yes!” She squealed excitedly. She ran up to me and placed in a quick peck on my lips.Then she skipped happily out of the house.I looked at her and laughed. “She’s cute.”I went back to my laptop and continued what I was doing.After our date, we went home. It was Lauren who made the reservation and it was a nice Italian restaurant that we haven’t been to before.We got home and it was Lauren who was the first to go to the bathroom.While waiting for her, I fell asleep. I don’t know for how long I slept, but I opened my eyes slowly and my eyes met with Lauren’s nude.It was the
