Katrina’s POV

Home.

I stared at the familiar living room as I stepped inside, letting out a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding.

After everything that happened at the cabin, I should have felt relieved to be back.

And I did.

For approximately five minutes.

Then I remembered the missing manuscripts, the leaked excerpts, and the fact that someone apparently decided to make my private life their personal entertainment.

My mood sank instantly at that thought.

"Mommy!"

  • Trading My Cheating Husband For My Best Friend's Husband    55. Put The Knife Down, Sarah

    Christian's POVThe moment I opened the door, a scream rang through my ears.I froze in my tracks.Sarah stood a few feet away, holding a kitchen knife in her hand. Her hair was messy, her eyes wide, and she looked like she was ready to stab whoever dared to come closer.For a minute, I stared at her, unsure what to make of the scene.What the heck?"Sarah?"She flinched instantly and raised the knife higher. "Don't come any closer!"I glanced at the weapon, then at her face. Her movements were unsteady, and there was something off about the way she was looking at me."Put the knife down." "Who are you?" she demanded, taking a step backwards. "I said don't come closer!""Sarah, look at me." I insisted, stepping to the side so she could see me properly, but that wasn't working either."Stay away from me!" she demanded, eyes wide with fear."Sarah!" My voice came out sharper this time as I showed my finger. The one that still had a ring on it.She blinked, trying to focus on my face. H

  • Trading My Cheating Husband For My Best Friend's Husband    54. I Made A Mistake, Now He's After Me!

    Sarah's POVI needed a drink.No, I needed several.By the time I got home, the conversation at the lounge was still playing in my head.Every word. Every subtle smirk on that man's face. Especially the part where he told me he had been watching Katrina long before I ever approached him.I couldn't stop thinking about it.He made me look like a fool. I went to him thinking I was the one holding the cards, only to discover that he had his own game going on. A game I knew absolutely nothing about.And now he was telling me not to contact him unless I had something useful?Who the hell did he think he was?I kicked off my shoes and walked straight to the kitchen. I didn't bother looking for a glass. I opened the cabinet, grabbed the bottle of whiskey I had bought a few days ago, and took a long gulp.The alcohol burned my throat instantly.Good. I needed something to burn away the thoughts in my head.Katrina.Everything always came back to Katrina.If she wasn't so darn difficult, I wo

  • Trading My Cheating Husband For My Best Friend's Husband    53. Enough Is Enough, K.

    Sarah's POVI knew something was wrong the moment I heard Christian started investigating the security breach.At first, I thought it was nothing serious. After all, Christian owned several properties and had security teams responsible for monitoring them. It wasn't unusual for him to investigate a problem.But this time, it was different.He wasn't just checking the cameras. He was looking into the unfamiliar device, reviewing access records, and asking questions about people who had access to the property.And that was a problem.A very big one.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at my phone while the information replayed in my head. I never expected things to go this far.The man was supposed to make Katrina uncomfortable, perhaps scare her enough to create problems between her and Christian. I never asked him to start interfering with the security system.What exactly was he doing?I immediately opened our conversation and typed.Me: We need to talk. Today.His reply came sever

  • Trading My Cheating Husband For My Best Friend's Husband    52. Someone Is A Mole

    Christian's POVI wasn't going to sit around waiting for whoever was behind the security breach to make another move.By the time Daniel returned to my office the following morning, I'd already decided on our next step.“Have you found anything useful?” I asked.“Not enough to identify the device's owner, sir. But we've narrowed down the access points.” he said, his tone filled with certainty as he held the tablet in his arm.I leaned back in my chair, fingers drumming briefly on the table before finally making a comment. “Let’s give them what they want then.”Daniel's brows shot up with confusion as he awaited instructions.“I want a restricted security update circulated to a selected group of people with access to the property. It should indicate that Katrina will be staying in another section of the estate for the next few days.”“Will she actually be moving?” he asked, I shook my head, leaning in from across the desk. “No. Her arrangements remain exactly as they are. Only the inf

  • Trading My Cheating Husband For My Best Friend's Husband    51. There's Someone In Her Bedroom

    Christian's POVI meant every word.Katrina was still staring at the security footage, her face pale as she tried to process what we'd discovered. I wanted to pull her into my arms and tell her everything would be fine, but I wasn't going to insult her with promises I couldn't guarantee.Someone interfered with the security around her bedroom.And I intended to find out who.“Can you check the other cameras?” she asked quietly.“I can. But first, I need to get my head of security involved.”She nodded, still looking at the screen.“Will you be alright?” I asked, searching for a reason to stay back on the call. “I need to review the entire system, including the access records. Until we know what's happening, don't leave your bedroom unsecured.”Her expression tightened as she muttered under her breath, “You're making this sound worse than it already is.”“I'm not trying to frighten you, Kitten. But someone intentionally created a blind spot near your room. I won't pretend that's norma

  • Trading My Cheating Husband For My Best Friend's Husband    50. A Peek Into Christian's World

    Katrina's POV I stared at the building with wide eyes, feeling my eyes grow red as Christian held me to the side.“Christian? Why are we in a hotel?” I asked, my eyes darting around frantically, scared that we'll be spotted out by some crazed fan or reporter. I mean, we barely made it out alive last week.Instead of panicking, Christian gave me a confident smile and nodded to the security men that surrounded the building within seconds.“This is mine, Kitten.” He revealed, taking off his shades to place on the bridge of my nose. “Most buildings are anyway, which is why we barely run into troubles. Haven't you ever wondered how we walk so freely? The moment I spot anything unusual, I pay them to keep away.”“I have so many questions, Christian.” I stared at him, too stunned to speak, but I eventually found my voice in the end. “I've never seen you work either. How does that even work?”Christian wore a mischievous grin, nodded to the receptionist who stood up instantly and eyed me wit
