LOGINLara's POV"I can't believe you dragged me out here to stalk your wife," I said, pushing back the passenger's seat so I could lie properly.There was no point sitting upright anymore.We had been sitting inside this car for what felt like forever.The engine was off.The windows were slightly cracked open to let in some air, but it still felt stuffy.Cause well, we didn't have anything to do but wait to catch Kassy cheat or whatever Shawn was suspecting.I still couldn't believe I had agreed to come.We were parked outside Kassy's friend's street, staring directly at her front door.Nothing was happening.No suspicious cars.No mysterious man walking in or out."I don't trust her bitch ass friend. She spoiled Kassy."I slowly turned my head to look at Shawn before rolling my eyes."Not you saying this about a 26 year old woman. She's not a kid, Shawn."His eyes remained fixed on the house."I don't think she's up to 26 yet."I rolled my eyes again.Was that even the point?I honestly
Derrick's POV*This will be the last time I communicate with you. I'm married and I want to make it work with my husband. I love him and I don't want to lose him. Don't contact me again Derrick. All your help worked, my husband appreciates how good I am in bed. Thank you and good bye Derrick.*I stare at the message on my phone screen.My eyes run over the words again and again.Each time I read it, it somehow hurts more.I should have deleted it.Instead, I sat there staring at it like some kind of punishment.Maybe because part of me believed that if I looked long enough, the words would change.Maybe because I couldn't accept them.Maybe because I didn't want to.She's indeed married.It is shameless and foolish of me to desire a married woman so badly even though that woman is married to a bastard like Shawn.I should respect her decision.That was what a decent man would do.What a man who truly loved her would do.I want to fight for her but it's clear that's not what she wants.
Shawn's POV“Yes like that, fuck I like your mouth on me,” I groan as I reach my height, blowing everything into Lara’s mouth.Lara kisses in between my legs.She licks in between my balls smiling up at me."I'm glad you like it,” she said.I relax back on the sofa in her living room.My eyes closed, still bathed in the aftermath of pleasure.The room was quiet except for the sound of our breathing.For a few moments, everything inside my head went silent.There were no thoughts, no anger….no jealousy….no Kassy.Just emptiness.A temporary escape. A pathetic one,but an escape nonetheless.Do I feel guilty?Yes.But I just didn't care right now.Or maybe I was trying very hard not to care.There was a difference."You know you're a hypocrite Shawn.”I peel my eyes open.Lara was now standing staring down at me.Her arms were folded across her chest.Her expression wasn't judgmental.If anything, she looked amused."Imagine if Kassy saw you right now or if she knows you come here to fu
Kassy's Pov"Don't you think I should know who he is?"The question came so suddenly that for a second I wasn't even sure I heard him correctly."Know who?""The man who got you pregnant."For a second I froze.Not just surprised.Completely frozen.My heart stopped.Every horrible thought imaginable rushed through my head at once.Breath Kassy, breath.I keep reminding myself.I took in a deep breath, then another.My head was flooded with different reasons.Scary reasons and barbaric reasons.He wants to kill Derrick.I closed my eyes briefly and took another breath.Don't panic…..Act normal Kassy.Act normal.I forced my face to stay calm and my hands not to shake."Why would you want to know that?" I said, trying to sound more confused than frightened.Shawn's fingers tightened around the steering wheel.His eyes stayed on the road."I don't think there's anything wrong with me knowing," Shawn says, glancing at me.I looked away immediately.The less eye contact the better.The l
Kassy's POV"Your husband came with you today."Doctor Mira's voice carried a hint of amusement as she looked between me and Shawn.I glanced at Shawn.He immediately nodded at my doctor, looking entirely too pleased with himself.Like he had accomplished something great just by showing up.Honestly, he had been ridiculously adamant about following me for my check-up.The moment I mentioned my appointment yesterday, he had practically invited himself.I had argued.He had insisted.In the end, I was too tired to keep fighting about it.So here he was.Sitting in the examination room like some excited father to be.The thought made something uncomfortable twist inside my chest.I pushed it away.Doctor Mira gestured toward the examination bed.I climbed on it carefully.The room felt cool against my skin.I have been here several times already, but somehow every visit still made me nervous.Maybe because every visit reminded me that this was real.There was actually a baby growing insi
Kassy's POV"That bastard is a manipulative son of a bitch."The entire living room went silent.My father turned to me fully, his eyes blown wide. My brother almost dropped the laptop resting on his lap. My mother looked frozen, she was literally staring at me as if I had suddenly transformed into someone else.Maybe to them, I had.Someone else would probably think their reaction was too much. I mean, I had not said anything that serious.But my family had lived through years of my obsession with Shawn.Years.They had watched me defend him when he ignored me.Defend him when he embarrassed me.Defend him when he acted like I didn't exist.No one was ever allowed to say one bad thing about Shawn around me.Not my mother.Not my father….Definitely not my brother.If anyone dared, I would immediately start making excuses for him."He didn't mean it.""He's just busy.""That's not what happened."I had spent years protecting Shawn from criticism.Now I was sitting here calling him a ma
Kassy’s POV“Did you have sex with him?”I stare at Shawn.Lying to him feels pointless. The hickeys on my neck are still fresh, red against my skin. There is no way someone gets marks like that from just talking.“Yes, I did,” I say.What I don’t understand is why Shawn looks like this.Why is he
Kassy“Where are you going?” Derrick asked, and he had the audacity to look confused.I stared at him like he had lost his mind.“Back to my husband,” I snapped. “You know, because I’m married.” My voice shook, anger and panic mixing together. “What do you even mean you want us to be together? You
KassyI almost dropped the piece of paper on the ground.My fingers trembled as I unfolded it, my heart slamming so hard against my chest it felt painful, like it wanted out. The words blurred for a second, then came into focus.Come outside….Left wing….I need to see you. —DerrickDerrick is here?
Sitting across from Shawn like this felt familiar and strange at the same time.Familiar because I’ve sat across from him so many times over the years, watching his face, memorizing his moods, waiting for scraps of attention he never really meant to give. Strange because today I'm not trying to im
