Cross Pov"Wakie, wakie, birthday boy,"Was what woke me up from sleep the next morning, we got to our cabin in Skaneateles lake, yesterday early, and had time to explore before we retired for the day, we went to the Charlie major nature trail on a bicycle, Katherine had complained all through the way, and kept cursing at me for making her suffer, I had a feed day laughing at her being angry because she was cute, I expected her to sleep in because even after we came back I didn't let her sleep until the early hours of today, she was an early riser which I wasn't, I hated waking up early."Are you going to get up or do you want the candle to burn out"She asked and I opened my eyes to see her holding a cake, wondering where she got it from, I sat up on the bed."Good morning princess, where is the cake from?"I asked rubbing my eyes to clear off sleep, I glanced at the time and it was already past nine am.,"I went out and got it from a shop down the way,""What? That's risky, you don'

Kathy PovI stared at him, and he stared right back, he looked different, but in a good way, not like I expected him to suddenly be less good-looking or attractive in fact he was even more handsome now and like always he had great fashion sense, he looked well mannered too, no wonder he could fool me. like no one will ever believe he is a scammer and a thief, not when he looked that clean and handsome, but like the saying always goes, 'never judge a book by its cover,' I made the mistake of judging by how he looked and paid for it.It's was like we were having a staring contest or something, he neither acknowledged nor said any words, for a moment I thought he would pretend not to know me but the fact that he was standing there and looking at me, the initial shock on his face were gone and he didn't even look sorry or regretful, remembering how he left me stranded about four months ago, I clenched my hands into a fist and approached him, he smiled, the mudafucking son of a bastard sm

Kathy PovI woke up the next morning, with a startle, I had fallen asleep while waiting for Cross, I didn't even know when he came in, I looked over on the bed and he wasn't there and the bed didn't look like he has been there, I got up from the bed and rubbed my eyes, I looked around the room and there was no sign of him."Maybe he is downstairs,"I said out loud with a yawn, but then the possibility of that being the case was low because Cross was a late riser, I can count the few times he had woken up before me, and even those few times I always wake up to find him our room, to confirm my thoughts, I went downstairs to look for him, I didn't find him, I decided to go check the car park for the car he took to the office yesterday, I left home before him but I knew the SUV was his favorite, and like I expected the SUV wasn't in the parking lot, which means he didn't come home.He could have just called to say he wasn't coming home, I thought as I walked back inside to look for my pho

Kathy Pov"Cross? Who is she?"I asked and waited for his answer, I want to see how he is going to get himself out of this, he lied about being at work the photo already proved that to think I was going to apologize to him for overreacting but then this said it all, he was a lier and by the picture a cheat too, the fact that his expression didn't even change, he didn't even appear to be sorry for being caught, he just kept staring at the photo."Are you going to answer me or are you going to keep staring at the photo? Are you doubting if you are the one in the photo? It's you, and a woman going into a hotel room and also you and her yesterday, now let's talk about being at work all day,"I said my anger increasing with each word."I owe you no explanations,"Was all he said, I actually knew that's what he was going to say, yeah that and also the mind my business part."Cross, really? That's what you are going to say? You owe me no explanation, my husband pictured going into a hotel r

Kathy Pov"What? You would choose her over me?"I asked trying as much as possible not to give him any reactions."Don't make me answer that, you wouldn't like my answer,"He said he wasn't even looking at me, he was looking everywhere else but at me, which was okay because I didn't want those eyes on me either."Dude, I already know your answer so it won't be a new thing, guess what? I am used to people not choosing me, so it won't hurt like you think it will,""Is that so?"He asked, I actually wanted to laugh at him but I just kept it in, I didn't want to give him any reactions, he didn't deserve it, he would choose her over me? he was just coming home for the first time in three days and he dared to tell me, his mistress will be moving in with us, and that's the only reason he even came back because if not I am sure he wouldn't have come back to this house, well, like I told him, if she moves in here then we are done, I ain't gonna sit and watch the son of a Bitch do such to me, e
