LOGINKassy's PovIt took me almost an hour of mental gymnastics before I finally walked inside this house.The entire drive back, I had considered telling Jenny to turn around countless times to go back to her place.But this wasn't about what I wanted anymore.It was about surviving whatever game Shawn had decided to play.The moment I stepped through the front door, one of the maids hurried toward me.She looked nervous."Good morning Ma'am, would you like anything?"I shook my head."No."I didn't trust myself to say anything else.I wasn't in the mood for food.Without waiting another second, I headed upstairs.The house suddenly felt unfamiliar.It was strange how a place could remain exactly the same…..Yet feel completely different.I knew Shawn was somewhere around.I'm surprised he wasn't waiting for me in the living room.I just hope he is avoiding me like I plan to do with him.It's better that way.Right now, even the thought of looking at his face disgusted me.I reached my bed
Shawn's POVI did what I had to do.That was the only thought I kept repeating to myself.Over and over again.Did I regret every action I took last night?From stalking Kassy all the way to Felix's house...Maybe.Everything had happened so fast.Every decision I made felt right in the moment.Then morning came...And all I could see was the damage I had caused.I leaned back in the hospital chair and rubbed my tired eyes.The one I just can't stop thinking about is Kassy asking me for a divorce.The look in her eyes.She looked completely disgusted.I let out a slow breath.I should have handled things better.Especially with that bitch Kassy called a best friend.Just thinking about her irritated me again.I shouldn't have let her get under my skin.She kept throwing words at me until I completely lost it.I closed my eyes.I shouldn't have slapped her.She was still a woman….Even if I hated her...Even if she had insulted me...I shouldn't have hit her.That wasn't who I was.Ever
Kassy's Pov"Shawn is a fucking bastard."Jenny's voice echoed through the room.She had been swearing ever since we woke up and discovered what Shawn had done.I had never seen her this angry before.Not even after everything that happened last night.She paced back and forth across Felix's guest room, muttering curses under her breath while scrolling furiously through her phone.The moment she had shown me the post...My stomach had dropped.I stared silently at the screen in my hands.The words refused to disappear no matter how many times I blinked.*My wife is pregnant. Guess the secrets behind it.*He had tagged me.And for some reason...He had tagged Jenny too.I had no idea why he had dragged Jenny into this.She had nothing to do with our marriage.Nothing to do with our problems.Yet somehow, Shawn had still found a way to involve her.God...I wanted to fucking kill that bastard.Slowly, I lowered my phone on the bed before covering my face with both hands.The room sudden
Derrick's PovI stared at my laptop as it stared back at me.The numbers on the screen had started to blur together.Every spreadsheet looked the same.Every report felt like it was mocking me for not finishing fast enough.I glanced at the clock sitting on the corner of my desk.1:00 a.m.A long sigh escaped my lips.It was already one in the morning, and I still haven't finished working.I had a board meeting by nine tomorrow morning, and these particular files had to be ready before then.There was no postponing it.No excuses.The investors expected answers.The board expected results.And as CEO...I was expected to have everything under control.I leaned back in my chair and stretched, feeling my stiff muscles protest immediately.My neck ached.My shoulders felt like they had been carrying bricks all day.I'd barely left this office since morning.Pushing my chair back, I stood up and walked toward the shelf in the corner of my office.I reached for the wine and a glass before
Kassy's PovI stood by the window, staring into the darkness outside.Felix had given us one of the guest rooms to stay in for the night after Shawn left.Jenny and I didn't even want to go home tonight."He's not wrong though." I whisper "I did fuck Derrick on my wedding day... in my wedding gown... and in the same venue."It wasn't something I had ever thought I'd do in my life.Yes our marriage was fake but still, it should still be called cheating….Jenny sighs behind me, she was still changing the bedsheets."Look, babes. I hate what you did that night, but you had your reasons."I didn't answer.My eyes remained fixed on the window."In fact..."Jenny let out a small scoff."I'll say that bastard fucking deserved it."That finally made me turn around.I looked at my best friend.The slap mark on her cheek had darkened.She had gotten hurt because of me.Because of my marriage.Because of my mess."He made you insecure for years, Kassy."Jenny folded her arms."The reason you ev
Kassy's PovI stared at the scene in front of me, completely speechless.For a few seconds, my brain was just not processing what I was looking at.Jenny was holding a stick, pointing it at Shawn while Felix struggled to hold her back.Shawn was being restrained by several security guards. His shirt was soaked from what looked like a spilled drink, his nose was bleeding, and he kept throwing curses at Jenny as he fought against the men holding him.A woman was standing behind Shawn with her hand pressed against the side of her head where blood was rolling fromI recognized her immediately. Lara if I remember correctly….What in God's name–"Jenny," I called softly.My voice disappeared under the noise.Nobody heard me.Security guards were shouting over each other."Jenny!" I screamed.Immediately…..Everything stopped.Jenny turned around so fast that the stick slipped from her fingers and hit the ground with a loud sound.Every pair of eyes shifted toward me.No one said a word.Je
“This is fucking messed up.”I said nothing. I just stared out the café window like something out there might suddenly make sense. People passed by, laughing, talking, living their lives like the world hadn’t just cracked open for me.I was pregnant.I was actually, truly pregnant.The words didn’t
DERRICK Life moved on for everyone, including me. Or at least, that’s what I kept telling myself. Life moves on. Life moves on. If I said it enough maybe I’d believe it.I threw myself into work. That was the easiest part. Work didn’t ask questions. Work didn’t look at me like it knew my secrets.
KASSYI used to think I would be the happiest girl on earth at my engagement party. I used to picture myself glowing, smiling, my heart overflowing with joy, holding Shawn’s hand like I had always dreamed.But I was far from it.I wake up every day reminding myself that I love Shawn. That Shawn is
“You actually ended it?” Jenny asked me, her voice sharp with disbelief.I nod, not meeting her eyes, my gaze darting around the shop instead. I wasn’t about to let her stare pin me down. I came here for something else, something important. My wedding dress. That was supposed to be the focus. The
