Mag-log inKassy’s PovI stare at the headlines with a chuckle.“TROUBLE IN PARADISE?”I snort softly and toss the phone slightly on the bed.There was no paradise to begin with.The article was filled with dramatic words like betrayal, heartbreak, scandal and mystery as if Shawn and I were some deeply in love couple destroyed by infidelity.Please.“IS MR RHODES CHEATING ON HIS NEW WEDDED WIFE?”I blink at the picture attached underneath.There was literally a picture of Shawn kissing a woman.Actually kissing her.It wasn't blurry or questionable.It was clear enough for the entire world to see.And these people were still asking if he was cheating.I shake my head amused.The comments under the article were even worse.Some people pitied me.Some were insulting Shawn.Some were calling me weak already for “allowing” this barely weeks into marriage.People truly had too much time on their hands.I put my phone under silence and dropped my head back on the pillow.Was I shocked?Far from it.Ho
Kassy's PovI definitely heard that wrong.I glanced at Jenny who was staring at me looking equally shocked.Wait… on a second thought, Shawn knows Derrick.I remember that celebrity birthday party I went to months ago. I had seen them talking briefly.“Which Derrick?” I asked, literally holding my heart in my hand.Shawn turns to look at me suspiciously.“Do you know any Derrick?” he asked slowly.I shook my head immediately, glancing quickly at Jenny again.Definitely it can't be my Derrick.He wouldn’t dare attack Shawn.Shawn will kill him.Derrick might act all smug and fearless but Shawn was still Shawn. Rich, influential, connected and dangerous when angry.There was no way.No way at all.“He’s a fucking bastard that has made my life miserable for years,” Shawn suddenly says angrily. “Not only did he seduce my girlfriends back in school he made sure they broke up with me and he slept with them. He steals my fucking deals and contracts because his company has a bigger name, rep
Kassy’s PovWe both jumped at the voice.I turned so fast my heart almost stopped.Shawn stood a few steps away from us, staring suspiciously between me and Jenny.My entire body went cold instantly.Did he see Derrick?Oh God.I quickly looked around but Derrick was already gone.Thank God.“We are fine,” Jenny rushed out immediately before Shawn could ask another question.Then she grabbed my wrist tightly and started dragging me toward the restroom before I could even react properly.I glanced back once and caught Shawn still staring after us with confusion written all over his face.The moment the restroom door closed behind us, Jenny turned around so fast I almost walked into her.She just stared at me.Completely speechless.I bit my lip immediately trying not to smile because honestly the look on her face was ridiculous.She opened her mouth.Closed it again.Then opened it again.“That’s...” she started before stopping halfway and pressing her lips together hard.I folded my a
Kassy’s Pov“What the hell Derrick?”“Hi.”I just stared at him speechless, my heart was jumping so hard against my chest.Out of every place he could appear, he appeared here like some dangerous temptation the universe refused to take away from me.He looked too good.And that was exactly the problem.“Are you following me?”He shoved his hands into his pockets and tilted his head slightly, that annoying tiny smirk touching his lips.“Maybe?”I stared at him in disbelief.“You're unbelievable.”The smile on his face faded a little as he stepped closer.“Why did you block me?”Because hearing your voice was destroying me.Because every text from you made me want to run back into your arms.Because I'm weak for you in ways I have never been weak for anyone before.“Because I wanted to.”“Kassy...”“Please don’t...”My voice came out softer than I intended.He stared at me quietly for a second before moving even closer until his forehead rested gently against mine.The moment he touched
Kassy's PovI woke up the next morning feeling tired again.These days it felt like my body belonged to somebody else entirely.I sat up slowly on the bed, pressing a hand against my forehead for a few seconds before finally standing up. For a moment I just stood there thinking about last night.About the fact I had agreed to give Shawn a chance.I honestly didn’t know if I made the right decision.I sighed softly and walked downstairs.The smell of food reached me before I even got to the kitchen.I paused when I saw Shawn standing there cooking.I stared at him in confusion for a few seconds.What exactly was happening in this house lately?“Oh you’re awake,” he said immediately when he noticed me.“Good morning.”“Morning,” I replied slowly.He smiled at me.“You should have slept more. I wanted to serve you breakfast in bed.”I stared at him for a second, holding back the urge to roll my eyes.Breakfast in bed?This man really woke up one day and decided to become husband of the
Kassy's Pov “Who was that?”The moment Shawn’s voice entered my room, my heart nearly stopped.I immediately looked down at my phone first to make sure I had cut the call with Derrick.I slowly lifted my head to look at Shawn standing at the door.“What the hell is your fucking problem?” I snapped immediately.Because honestly, barging into my room like that was insane.Shawn stared at me with a hard expression.“I asked you a question,” he barked out.“And I asked you a damn question too,” I fired back instantly.I stood up from the bed angrily.“You can’t just barge into my room, what the hell?”“This is my house,” Shawn had the nerve to say.I stared at him for a second completely speechless.Wow.So that was what we were doing now?Ownership?Power play?I laughed bitterly.“Is that what we are doing now?” I asked slowly. “I can leave your fuck shit, Shawn. I can still afford an apartment. I have a friend I can still move in with. Don’t you dare.”His jaw tightened immediately.“
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
KASSY The moment I got home, my mom was in the living room, sitting with her legs tucked under her like a teenager, flipping through fancy photographs. Her face was lit up with this wide, genuine smile that made her look ten years younger.“Sweetheart, you’re here,” she said, her voice warm and so
KASSYI peel my eyes open, and for a moment, I’m confused about where the hell I am. The ceiling looks strange, not mine. The smell in the air. My brain scrambles to catch up.Then it all comes crashing back into me at once.Sex Academy.The heat.The hands.The voice.The way I lost control so co
