Katrina’s POV

“Are you going to write something, or are we going to spend the entire day staring at each other?” I muttered, staring at the cursor blinking nonstop in my face.

I leaned back in my chair with an exhale and ran a hand through my face.

It had been almost an hour since I opened my laptop, and all I had managed to type was a temporary title, three character names, and a sentence I had already deleted twice.

Maybe I was out of practice…or maybe I was afraid.

I hated admitting the latt

  • Trading My Cheating Husband For My Best Friend's Husband    57. The Stalker Is Behind Me

    KATRINA'S POV"Christian!"I looked up when I heard his voice. Wait, what?He walked into the living room, dressed in a dark suit, with his usual calm expression. A man followed a few steps behind him, carrying several neatly wrapped gift boxes."Good evening," Christian greeted Adrian's parents."Oh, Christian! What a pleasant surprise." Cecilia immediately got up to welcome him. "We weren't expecting you today.""I was passing by and thought I'd stop in. It wouldn't be very polite to visit without bringing anything, would it?"His eyes met mine.For a few seconds, neither of us looked away.Then I remembered the last time we'd been alone together, and my cheeks warmed.I quickly turned my attention elsewhere, hoping nobody had noticed."Where's Aunt Sarah?"Leo's voice interrupted my thoughts.He was sitting beside his grandmother, looking around as if he expected someone else to walk through the door.Christian smiled at him. "She had something to take care of, so I came alone.""O

  • Trading My Cheating Husband For My Best Friend's Husband    56. Let's Play, Katrina

    Sarah's POV"Christian!"I called out just as he was about to reach the bottom of the stairs.I didn't even think twice before rushing after him. I needed him to stop. I needed him to listen to me, even if it was just for a few more minutes.But my legs weren't cooperating.The room spun, and before I could take another step, my foot slipped."Ah!"I barely had time to react before a pair of arms caught me."What the hell, Sarah?"Christian held me upright, his hands gripping my arms as he tried to keep me from falling.I blinked, struggling to focus on his face."You're going to break your neck if you keep moving around like this."I didn't answer.Instead, I wrapped my arms around him."Don't go."His body stiffened immediately."Sarah, let go."I shook my head, pressing my face against his chest. The tears came before I could even force them out, and I clung to him tighter."Please. Don't just walk away from me like this."He exhaled sharply. "You're drunk. You need to sleep.""Tha

  • 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
