Kim Danielson realised that the man she got married to—Nathan Pearce, whom she had loved for 10 years - would never love her back. Saddened by the realization, she decided to turn her love and obsession for him into hatred. But everything changed when Nathan's presumed first love returned to take her spot. Would she be able to let go of the man she had loved for 10 years? Even after she discovered the hidden truth behind her loveless marriage.
View MoreKIM Her gaze went to our intertwined hands, and her face turned green. Her eyeballs almost popped out of their socket as she opened her mouth in disbelief. What a sight to behold. And as if Nathan knew exactly what I wanted to do, he displayed a perfect loving couple. “Which one do you like honey, I will buy it for you” I feel my heart lurched into my throat at the sound of “honey”. This is the second time he will be using such endearment for me. I looked up at him, my eyes searching his eyes for answers. ‘Are you really my Nathan’ I thought. But he further threw me into a fit of mixed emotions when he smiled at me. I stopped breathing, and the world around me seemed to stop moving. I stare at his elegant face, his smile so beautiful and so charming that it makes me go weak in the knees. I opened my mouth, trying to say something, but no words came out. I wanted to breathe, to look away, but I stood rooted to a place, unable to look away from his blue eyes that threatened t
KIM“Hi,” he said to me, his voice rich and melodious.I feel my breath hitched at the sound of his voice. I can't possibly be falling in love with him for the second time, can I?I shook my head, and I tried to discard the thought. I pushed the door further wide open to allow him to enter, and I avoided his gaze, but I didn't miss his smirk. He walked past me into the house, and his smell filled my nose. He smells of lavender and a mixture of vanilla. “Hi Phoebe” I hear him greet Phoebe, and she responds, smiling “Hi, Nathan. It's been a while”“Yeah, thanks for taking care of Kim” he continued their conversation as if I was invisible in the room“Oh, it has been the other way round” She replied, looking in my direction and Nathan's gaze followed hers“Are you ready?” He asked me, his gaze softened than what I'm used to.I can tell something has changed in him. He has become more approachable. Even the aura he is emitting is no longer cold and distant; it's like the wall he had a
KIM“You've fallen for him, Kim,” She said with deadpan seriousness. I feel my heart lurched into my throat as Phoebe's words hit me like a poisonous arrow. I open my mouth slightly and force myself to breathe. This is not true, I know myself. I let out a small chuckle. “That's not possible; there's no way I will fall for Gio. That can't be true,” I said, trying to convince myself rather than Phoebe. But her piercing jade green almond-shaped eyes locked onto me with all seriousness.I started to pace back and forth, mumbling words to myself. How? When did it start? What ignites the feelings? Is it because he gives me the attention I desperately need at this moment? But what about Nathan? He hasn't signed the divorce papers yet. Am I allowed to do this? I voiced out in a flurry of sentences, feeling my panic increasing. Phoebe walked to me and held my hand, stopping me from going back and forth. “Don't take it too seriously. It's just a fling. And it's absolutely normal since he
KIMI watched Phoebe's sleeping face with a smile on my face. She hasn't been herself since the incident with her fiance.I sat on the edge of the bed, and the mattress sank upon my weight as I reached out and gently stroked her hair. I tucked some little strands of hair behind her ear, revealing her now colourful and radiant face.She hasn't been able to sleep like this for days, she is always either crying or staring blankly into nothingness.Her appearance has changed drastically, and so has her appetite. Staring at her sleeping face as she breathes in and out steadily, I feel all my stress being washed away.It has been a long tiring week for me. I had to work from home, overseeing multiple ongoing projects and approving designs from our designers. Also, I had to take care of my heartbroken friend. I'm not complaining at all; in fact, I'm so happy to be here with her when she needs me the most.Phoebe and I have been friends since high school when my father moved his company hea
NATHANI stare blankly at the busy street of New York City through the window of the Rolls Royce driving towards Central Park My mind went over my last conversation with the therapist.“I don't know why you don't want to tell your wife about this, but from what I have observed now, she has a great influence on your emotions and your difficulties in communicating with her are probably because she knew nothing about your ailment which is clearly causing a misunderstanding” he explained I sighed for the umpteenth time pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration. As crazy as that sounds, I want to believe it. Maybe I could get along well with Sassy because she knew about my….The screen of my phone lit up beside me and Sassy’s message popped up, distracting me from my thoughts.I wanted to ignore the message but something in the message caught my attention. As I picked up the phone and opened the message, I felt my chest squeeze in pain.My eyes widened in surprise as I stared at t
NATHAN My stomach churned for the hundredth time, sitting at the back of my Rolls Royce sedan as the car moved steadily towards the hospital. I pinched the bridge of my nose as I lay my head on the backrest of the chair, dreading the decision I had made.One of the moments I dread in my life is sitting down on the therapist's chair as they ask a series of closely related questions, trying to probe into what I'm thinking and what I decided to horde within myself. I detest this moment, and yet I find myself going back to where I desperately want to escape from.Even since I was 9 years old, my father has tried to cure me by employing the best of the best medical professionals from our country and beyond but none of them was able to help me overcome my ailment.Soon, I grew tired of sitting in front of them while they pretended to help but knowing fully well they couldn't help me.But when I started dating Sassy, she helped me continue my treatment since she usually followed me to the
KIMJust two tables away from our table, Sassy Hyde is sitting opposite Nathan's mother—stepmother.Perfect, two women that I despised. If I had my chances, I would ignore them both, but that's impossible since Loretta’s olive green eye is looking directly at me.Fuck! I regret showing up here at this hour to witness my husband's mistress dining with his stepmother. What a lovely scenario to behold. I walk confidently to their table, just then sassy catches a glimpse of me, and I don't miss the look of surprise that flashes across her eyes “Good evening, Mrs Pearce” I greeted politely The woman, who is in her early 50’s nodded slightly and scoffed as soon as I greeted her. She gave me a dissatisfied look, and I couldn't care less.From the start, we are not very close. In fact, she is not close to Nathan as well, so I see no reason why I need to regard her.“Miss Kim?” Sassy’s voice cut through my thoughts “Miss Sassy,” I greeted, smiling brightly at her. There's no way I'd sho
KIMYou shouldn't have hung up like that,” Phoebe said, looking intently into my eyes“Why should I keep talking to him?” I asked, matching her gaze with the same intensity “Why should you keep talking to him? He's your husband Kim” She responded “Soon to be ex-husband” I retorted angrily “Well, you're still legally married to him for now” She muttered “Not for long anyway. You know, sometimes I don't know who you're supporting. Ain't you supposed to support Me?” I asked “Of course, I'm supporting you. All I'm just saying is, you should give him some chance to talk to you. He has never called you before, right? That means this time he must have something important he wants to tell you, but you hang up first.” She explained “I can't just stand talking to him anymore ever since I saw that scene” I muttered, looking down at my fingers which were fidgeting with the hem of my blazers “Hmm…okay, let's get off that. I noticed you've become especially close with Giovanni Ferraro” She
NATHAN “Good morning, Mr Pearce”, Jeff, my assistant, greeted me as soon as I stepped out of the elevator on the last floor of ‘The Pearce Empire Building’ where my office is located.“Good morning, Jeff”, I replied curtly, walking briskly towards my office. “You have an emergency appointment sir” Jeff informed “An emergency appointment with who?” I asked, stopping in my tracks Jeff looks away nervously; he scratches his hair and fumbles with his words. So unlike him.“Speak Jeff! Why are you acting like I have an executioner waiting for me at my office” I said irritatingly “Barrister Jane. He's representing your wife in court” he says finally “What? The famous divorce lawyer?” I asked in disbelief Representing Kim in court?I walked hastily to my office, and I met with a man probably in his early 40's. He had well-trimmed light brown hair and a firm, sturdy body frame that showed how frequently he worked out. He stood up when he saw me, smiling while showing off his slightly
KIM I pushed open the big mahogany door that led to my husband's home office, and I sauntered in, taking small steps toward the big curved glass table. I slammed a white A4 paper on the glass desk to get his attention, and I succeeded. He slowly raises his flawless face and looks at me with no emotion. I stare back at him, but on my end, my emotions are written on my face. Hatred, disgust, contempt, anger, you name every emotion you could give someone you hate. Yes, someone I hate! I hate Nathan Pearce to my bone marrow! “Sign the paper”, I said, pointing at the paper I had slammed on his desk a while ago. He looked at the paper and picked it up, making the pen I placed on it fall off and make a clattering sound on the glass table. He read through the paper and adjusted his reading glasses before raising his head to look at me. He gave me a look….. a look of….. fuck! I can't read him; his face is expressionless! I can't even decipher what the hell he is thinking!...
