UNDER THE SPELL OF THE SWEET PILOT のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Opening my eyes, a dreadful headache hit me. I buried my face in the pillow and stayed like that for a couple of minutes. Yesterday, I had lost consciousness completely. I threw the pillow aside and got out of bed as best as I could. I went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face. I looked at myself in the mirror and grimaced; I looked really awful.The door to my apartment started ringing, and immediately my headache worsened. I walked to the door and opened it. It was Debbie with a cup in her hand."I think you need this," she said with a smile.My sense of smell awakened as I caught a whiff of freshly brewed coffee. I took the cup from her hands and took a sip."What time did you leave? And how did I end up in bed?" I asked.She entered my apartment."I practically carried you. I could've taken advantage of you, but I held back," she joked.I chuckled a bit."What time is it?" I asked.She glanced at her watch and then at me."It's eleven. I think Jona is going to kick y

The next day I arrived at the workshop. Jona and everyone else were gathered around the new car, so I approached slowly to see what was going on."I won't drive that," Hayden said angrily.Jona turned to look at me and I just smiled at him."I warned you that if he invested, I wouldn't drive. Screw it all," he said.I wasn't understanding anything. So I looked back at Jona, but he just gave me small smiles."He's not your father," Jona told him.Hayden laughed bitterly."But it's a subsidiary, it's the same shit! And I warned you," he complained.Hayden looked at me angrily, turned around, and left."What's going on?" I asked.Nora approached me and pushed me."You screwed everything up, that's what happened," she accused me.Jona grabbed her arm and pulled her away from me."I'm sorry," he apologized.I didn't pay attention to them and went after Hayden."Can you stop?" I yelled as I ran after him.But he didn't stop, so I ran faster until I caught up with him."Go away, Kat, I don't

Returning home was one of the things I liked most about this job, but for some reason, it no longer felt the same. Coming to my apartment was depressing, cold, and lonely. Sometimes I preferred to go to Jona's house and spend the day there, or simply go to a crowded place and watch people being happy.Debbie was with me in the apartment. She had waited for me to celebrate my victory. I... honestly didn't want to be with anyone, but I had promised myself to change, to go back to being the same as before, and maybe with Debbie, I could achieve that."Congratulations, Hayden," Debbie said, smiling.I approached her and pulled her close, lowered my head, and gave her a soft kiss on the lips."Thanks for supporting me," I said.She and I had agreed to try something, although it had been quite difficult since I was always out of the country."I thought you were going to dedicate your win to me," she said with a smile.I laughed a little. When I won, I didn't think of her. I had thought of K

ONE WEEK LATER.Hayden had been very attentive to me. It was sweet to see how much he cared about my well-being and our child’s. In fact, today he was coming to pick me up from work to go out for lunch because, according to him, I wasn't eating well.When I left work, he was already waiting for me. I smiled a little, even though I couldn’t see him, because he was inside the car; I knew he was looking at me.“You look so happy,” Matteo said to me.I glared at him and walked away. I hurried to the car and got in. Hayden looked at me.“Do you think Matteo will be upset about how we’re handling things?” he asked.I was shocked by that question.“Matteo and I never had anything. What I told you was a lie. I thought that was clear,” I said.Hayden started laughing, which made me very angry.“Please, Kat, I know you were with him. Debbie and Nora saw you go into a hotel with him while we were together, so don’t lie anymore, please. I really want to handle this well, and I won’t tolerate lies

Coming to the workshop made me so happy. Seeing Debbie and Nora seething with rage was quite amusing. I waved at them from a distance, but they completely ignored me as I continued on my way to the office. When I entered, Hayden was there. He looked at me and smiled."I bought you something," he said.He knelt down and took off one of my shoes, replacing it with a pink slipper. Then he did the same with the other foot. Hayden stood up and looked at me pleased."I bet these are more comfortable," he said.I approached him a bit closer and ran my hand across his chest, but Hayden immediately stopped my hand."I have to go," he said."Don't I tempt you even a little?" I asked.Hayden looked away."We can't, you... and I can't anymore," he said.I rolled my eyes."What a mediocre response you just gave me," I said.Hayden looked back at me."What do you want me to say? That I'm dying to be deep inside you? That I want to kiss you until I'm satisfied? Is that what you want to hear?" he ask
