登入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
Jenny's POVI watched as Kassy danced with another guy she thought was hot.She wasn't drinking but she sure looked like she had been drinking.Her cheeks were flushed from dancing.Her smile was brighter than it had been in weeks.I smiled to myself.Maybe this was exactly what she needed right now.I leaned against the counter, still watching her from across the room.Then someone stopped beside me.I didn't even have to look to know who it was.Felix.I turned my eyes away from him."Your friend's husband is here."For a second...Everything inside me froze."What?"I turned to him so quickly my neck almost hurt.Without saying another word, he started walking toward the front door.I followed him immediately.My heart was already racing.What the hell is Shawn doing here?How did he even know Kassy was here?Had he followed them?The thought alone made my blood boil.Before Felix could reach the door, I grabbed his hand."You can't let him in."My fingers tightened around his wris
Lara's POV"That could be anyone, Shawn.""I'm going.""Shawn," I called softly, making one more attempt to calm him down."Are you coming or not?"I frowned."What? You're going?""Yes."I stared at him for a moment, hoping he'd sit back down and think."Shawn," I breathed out. "That's Felix's party. You know... Derrick's close friend. If Derrick finds out, he'll start another war with you.""Do I look like I care?"I looked at him carefully.No.He really didn't.His eyes were cold, his jaw locked so tightly I thought he might crack a tooth.A few minutes ago, we had been sitting in silence while he admitted things I'd never imagined hearing from him.He had just confessed that maybe he didn't even love Kassy.He had admitted he was selfish.He had even nodded when I suggested seeing a professional.For one brief moment, I thought I'd finally gotten through to him.Now…..It was like that conversation had never happened.The picture had erased every ounce of reason."I think you sho
Kassy's POVWe had to go home and change our clothes. Thankfully, Jenny's clothes still fit me.I wore a flare short gown that was so perfect on me. Jenny slipped into a bodycon gown that hugged her figure perfectly. She looked gorgeous without even trying.“You don't look pregnant one bit” Jenny saysI snort ignoring herWe did a little makeup, fixed our hair, and within a few minutes, we were good to go."Don't you need to call your husband and tell him?" Jenny teasedI rolled my eyesThe drive to Felix's estate wasn't that long.The moment we left the neighborhood, Jenny connected her phone to the car, and music immediately filled the air. We sang along loudly, completely off-key, laughing every time one of us forgot the lyrics. At one point, Jenny started dancing in her seat, dragging me into it until I was laughing so hard that my stomach hurt.For the first time in what felt like forever, I forgot all my troubles.Maybe that was why I didn't want the drive to end.Unfortunatel
Kassy's POV"Can't believe you're dragging me out by this time because of ice cream," Jenny complained as she drove.I chuckled.Her frustration was honestly amusing.She had been complaining ever since I asked her to drive me out, but somehow she still agreed without putting up much of a fight. That was just who Jenny was. She would grumble the entire journey, act like I was ruining her life, then still do exactly what I asked."I didn't get you pregnant, Kassy."A loud laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it.The look on her face made it even funnier.She sighed dramatically, her eyes moving from the road to the signs lining the streets."Cold Stone ice cream."I nod."Yeah," I added.Jenny glanced at me with a glare."The fact you're confidently saying yeah."I laughed again."You asked a question and I responded."Jenny snorted, shaking her head."I signed up as a best friend, not as a husband.""Oh my God, stop complaining.""With all my sacrifice, not a single word of thank
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
She moves slowly, deliberately, crawling between my legs like a sinful little kitten. Every sway of her hips, every drag of her hands across the sheets makes my blood boil.She looks up at me through her lashes, lips slightly parted, and then she licks them in that slow, teasing way that makes my s
