All Chapters of The Man Who Taught Me Sin : Chapter 31 - Chapter 37

“I can’t believe you’re carrying this out, this is madness,” Jenny says.I ignore her and keep staring at myself in the mirror.The boutique is quiet, soft music playing in the background, fabric everywhere. Bridal fittings. White, lace, silk. All things that are supposed to mean joy. I’m standing on a small platform, the dress hugging me perfectly, the mirror reflecting a version of me that looks calm, composed… happy.I look beautiful.And that somehow makes everything hurt more.“Kassy,” Jenny calls again, her voice softer now, like she’s afraid I’ll break if she pushes too hard.“Let it be, Jenny. Seriously,” I say, still not looking away from my reflection. “I need him to protect my child, and he needs me for his company. Win-win.”Saying it out loud makes it sound logical and clean….Like a business deal.Jenny shakes her head slowly, disbelief written all over her face. Then she looks at me through the mirror, really looks at me, like she’s trying to see something I’m hiding.I

Kassy“Where are you going?” Derrick asked, and he had the audacity to look confused.I stared at him like he had lost his mind.“Back to my husband,” I snapped. “You know, because I’m married.” My voice shook, anger and panic mixing together. “What do you even mean you want us to be together? You want me to go and divorce him? This is insane. I’m insane for even being here with you, and you’re insane for saying that to me.”The words came out sharp and bitter but I didn’t take them back.I sighed, running my hand through my hair.We were still in the car. Still in the mess we had created just minutes ago. My body was tired, my heart even more exhausted.“You’re insane,” I said again, my voice quieter this time as I reached for my clothes. “I don’t even know why I keep ending up in this position with you.”I pulled my dress back on with shaky hands and pushed the car door open.Before I could step out, Derrick rushed forward and slammed the door shut.The sound echoed inside the car.

Kassy s POVI straightened on the bed with a slow yawn, my body heavy like I had not really slept. My eyes stayed on the ceiling for a few seconds, just staring.Then I pushed myself up and slid my feet onto the floor. I needed coffee.I didn’t even know if Shawn came back last night. Honestly, I didn’t care. That thought should have hurt, but it didn’t. It just felt empty, like something that should matter but no longer did.I chuckle. I really stopped loving him, like the love just died?I walked downstairs, still yawning, still half lost in my thoughts. Then I see her.A woman was standing by the coffee machine, dressed in pajamas that were definitely not mine. She looked too relaxed, too comfortable, like she had woken up here. I slowed down as I walked toward her. My heart didn’t race. It didn’t sink either. It just felt… flat.She must have heard my footsteps because she turned around.“Who are you?” I asked.She looked me up and down, not in a curious way, but in a lazy, alm

Kassy's POV “What an asshole,” Jenny says, shaking her head as she takes a sip of her drink.I chuckle softly, more tired than amused.“Bringing his lover home?” she continues. “God, Kassy, I have no idea what you even saw in that guy that made you chase him for years.”I shrug, lifting my shoulders slightly. I honestly can’t explain it. I loved Shawn for years just because he was Shawn. There was no grand reason, no moment I could point to. I just liked him. Somewhere along the line, that liking turned into love, deep and consuming, and I didn’t even realize when it happened.“I’m just glad all those feelings you had for him that took over your brain are dead,” Jenny says bluntly.I sip on my juice because well I couldn't take wine.We had come down to a bar to relax. Somewhere quiet, not too crowded. The kind of place where thoughts could wander without being interrupted by noise or people staring.For a while, we sat in silence. But my mind doesn’t stay quiet. It drifts, inevitab
