Flash Marriage After A One Night-Stand 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 8

*Katherine*I should have picked up Aria’s call when I saw it. Maybe gone to her place and spent the night but I can’t. Aria, my best friend, is going through a lot too. Her grandmother is very sick. I can’t afford to add to her responsibility right now. She’s also one of the reasons I keep telling myself to fight for what is mine. If I can get my life together, maybe I can help her get hers together too.So here I am, in this glamorous club house, spending money that I do not have. Spending money I should guard with my life since I need it to survive the next few days. I shouldn’t even be drinking. I have ulcer and a light head. My body always warns me but my heart never listens. And right now, to hell with my ulcer and to hell with saving money. I just want to drown everything that is miserable and painful inside me. Anyone in my shoes would feel the same, right?I gulp the short glass of vodka in front of me and wave for more. The bartender, this guy with a full head of hair an

*Katherine*I want to answer my Elena's call when Aria snatches the phone from my hand. “You are not picking up this call or any call from them today” she snaps “look at you, you are a mess. You need a break, already” I stay quiet for a second before letting out a loud sigh. I turn to look at her “Let me just answer the call. If I don't it's probably another problem. Let me answer” I brush my fingers through my blonde hair. “No, Kat. I won't let you. She has the nerve to call you after what she did to you.” she shakes her head “I'm turning off this phone in fact. At least for today, stay here with me” I want to fight and get the phone that somehow hasn't stopped ringing but I have no strength in me to fight at all. Aria leaves for work after some time. She works at a start-up food truck and her grandmother has just been sitting quiet on that wheel chair of hers. She doesn't speak. She hasn't spoken for a whole year now. While Aria is away, I read a book on her old brown couch. I

*Katherine* This tall guy in a shirt and trouser starts walking toward us. Because I have short sightedness, I still can’t see his face until he is very close. The moment his features sharpen in my sight, recognition hits me like a slap. It is the guy from the clubhouse. If I forget everything else that happened that night, I can never forget that face. His black hair is neatly combed back. His face looks carved and sharp. He is wearing a black trouser and a white shirt that fits him in a way that makes me rethink every decision I have ever made.If I didn’t know any better, I would have assumed he was some wealthy corporate man sent from the sky to rescue me. My own strange version of a knight in shining armor. Except there is nothing shiny about my situation.I stare at him in dismay, wondering why he is here, why now, and if he even realises that I am the girl who hired him the night before.My father snaps, “Who are you? Didn’t your mother ever teach you to mind your business wh

*CADE* I swipe across my phone to answer Merileen’s call. As I place the phone close to my ear, I catch a glimpse of Katherine in the car. She's seriously unsettled and I don't understand it. Yes, Jules, my private investigator told me everything I needed to know about her including her current predicament with her family but I don't get why she still wants to go back to them. I watch her for a second with the phone to my ear. She covers her face, her blonde hair falls over her. She raises her head. She falls it again. She holds her head together with both hands as if doing that will take away every pain she feels. She exhales.I wonder why her family brought her here and why I didn't ask. Something tells me they might be forcing her to get pregnant for that jerk I saw earlier—Merileen's loud voice calling my name draws me out of my head and back to the call. “Oh, I'm sorry. Something just caught my attention” I tell her. I hear her sigh before speaking “hmmm. I was beginning to
