Shawn's mom said.I looked toward Shawn.
Kassy's POVSeveral eyes burn into me.Every single person at that table was staring at me with wide eyesI didn't blink.I stared right back at them.If this was how everything was going to come out….Then so be it.I was only sorry my parents had to hear this like this.This wasn't how I had imagined telling them.I had it planned differently in my head. I was going to cry to my mom first, then the both of us will tell my dadBut it was still better if it came out from my mouth than from fucking Shawn.At least they would hear it from me.Shocked eyes were still fixed on me, at this point I wasn't sure they were breathing.Even Shawn looked shocked.Why was he shocked?Wasn't this exactly what he had been threatening me with?Wasn't this what he had been dying to expose?I swallowed slowly."I know..."I started to speak, but before I could continue….Shawn suddenly let out a loud, awkward laugh.I paused.My eyes slowly moved toward him.He laughed again."April Fool!" Silence.I
Kassy's Pov"Ma'am, your parents and Mr. Shawn's parents are here."I stayed where I was for a second.It's time.I let out a deep breath before walking toward the mirror.I stared at my reflection.My face looked calm but the inside of me was tied into knots.I had absolutely no idea what Shawn was planning….that is the most terrifying part.At this point I have to prepare for anything.I adjusted my hair, smooth out the wrinkles on my clothes and forced myself to smile.I stepped out of my room.The moment I got downstairs, my eyes immediately found my parents.I smiled as I walked over."Mom…..Dad."I greeted Shawn's parents politely before walking straight to hug my mother.She immediately wrapped her arms around me.When she pulled away, she held my shoulders instead of letting me go completely.Her eyes slowly searched my face.Making sure I was fine.I smiled.It took everything in me to keep that smile there."I'm fine."She nodded, though I could tell she wasn't completely co
Kassy's PovWhat has that bastard told my parents this time?I stared at Shawn's message for another long second.What exactly is there to settle between us?I was so tired….Mentally….Emotionally.I am so so so tired of Shawn.I am so sick and tired of him.Every single day it felt like he found a new way to make my life more complicated.Whenever I thought I could finally breathe, something else happened.If it's not another argument, it will be another threat or another mess.How do I get out of this shit?A bitter laugh escaped my lips.Life was truly funny.I wanted this marriage so badly.I had dreamed about it for years.Prayed for it.Cried over it.Imagined what my life would look like after becoming Shawn's wife.Now….I wanted to get out of it even more badly.If someone had told me years ago that I would get married to Shawn then wish I hadn't. I would have cursed at them.Yet here I was.Living a nightmare.I picked up my phone and dialed my mom's number.Her familiar voi
Kassy's POV"What do you mean by he never worked there?" Jenny stared back at me like she wanted to tell me something.It wasn't just a feeling anymore.She was hiding something.I could see it in the way her fingers kept rubbing against each other and in the way she refused to look me in the eyes for too long.I just felt she had something to say but didn't want to say it.At first I thought it was about Felix.Jenny never really talked about her relationships.That was normal.She always preferred dealing with those things on her own before telling anybody.But now...Now I was almost certain it had nothing to do with Felix.Whatever this was, it was making her nervous.“Jenny, is there something you want to tell me ?" I asked softly.Jenny chuckled…..Even sound felt wrongShe was nervous.But why?"Remember that friend we met at that restaurant?" Jenny asked. "She said there was no one that works there with the name Derrick."I stared at her.She was hiding something.I wasn't gue
Jenny's POVThere's no way I was hearing it wrong."Finlink?"Kassy nodded, smiling while arranging the files on her desk."Do you know the company?" she laughed. "Silly question. Who doesn't?"I stared at her.That is Derrick's company.The words echoed inside my head over and over until I couldn't hear anything else."After years they finally accepted to work with us. Surprisingly I was put on the project," Kassy said, laughing. "This money I got paid was for the first successful sell out."I stood up on shaky legs and walked straight to her mini fridge.I needed water.My head was spinning so badly I thought I would collapse if I stayed where I was."Are you okay?" Kassy asked.I hummed as I turned, poured water into a glass and drank it in one go.The cold water slid down my throat, but it did nothing to calm me.He knows.Derrick has been playing Kassy all this time.God...Not again.She can't take another heartbreak again.Not after Shawn.Not after everything she has been thro
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?
KASSYThe after party was a bit different. No, scratch that…. the after party was definitely different from the first one.Getting into the house wasn’t difficult at all. Our names were already in the system, and the security barely spared us a glance before waving us in. Jenny squeezed my hand the
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
