“Well that is it, I am not lying,” said Katherine with a low chuckle.
Jaxon watched her for a few seconds then sighed. “You may be able to fool me for the first few days but not forever, Katherine. Not this long.” He glanced at William who was still in the bar before turning back to Kate. “I know he has been here in New York all this time. You do not need to cover for him anymore, Katherine. Tell me, are you truly unhappy with your marriage?”
He continued to stare at her as he waited for her reply. He was truly worried and was never entirely convinced when his best friend had first informed him that she was going to marry his horrible ex, William. Even though she had never said it to him and despite her own words telling him that William had only been nothing but a summer memory, he always knew how much she actually liked that asshole.
“I am alright, Jax.” She took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Her lips stretched into a convincing s

Kate stared at her phone with a frown. She had been trying to call William but it went straight to voicemail. She dropped a message to Harry, his personal assistant, and Harry informed her that William was in a meeting with a potential partner. So in the end, she left him a voicemail, informing him that she was on her way to the airport and would fly to Washington D.C. as her mother was injured. “I’ll call you once I land, okay?” She ended the call and held her phone tightly on her lap. She turned to her right and noticed that Jaxon had been watching her this whole time as the car was stopping at the traffic light. “Thank you for taking me to the airport.” Jaxon shook his head. “I’m coming with you.” He shifted his gaze back to the front as the car started to move. “You don’t have to. It’s fine,” Kate reassured him. “No, it is fine.” One of his hands left the steering wheel and held hers. “I am here for you, Katherine.” She looked down at his hand holding hers before casually
“I said I do not,” William replied with a sigh then tossed his phone on the couch. “Where were you, Kate? I have been losing my mind when I could not reach you.” Instead of getting an answer, he was left alone as she walked into their bedroom. With a frown on his forehead, he followed her inside and watched her strip her clothes off before disappearing into the bathroom. Something was not right. He could feel that something had happened today but his mind could not think of what possibly could happen that would cause so much stress on Kate. He decided that it could wait, all that mattered right now was her. William opened the cupboard and grabbed a towel then knocked on the bathroom door. “Kate, may I come in?” When there was no reply, he added, “I will take it as negative confirmation and proceed if you remain in silence.” He counted to ten before turning the knob and walking inside. He found Kate inside the bathtub her knees were folded. Her arms were hugging her legs while she re
