Ex-Husband's Regret: I'm sorry I loved You too late のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE“Damon.” Katelyn has never been more grateful to hear Sarah’s pompous voice because it finally took Andrew’s attention away from her. She couldn’t believe she was relieved to see Sarah who came just in time like a saviour even when she was far from that. She pulled her son into a hug, beaming. The smile disappeared from her face when her gaze landed on Katelyn who had stepped a little bit behind Damon, as if that was enough to save her from Sarah. The relief Katelyn felt from Sarah’s appearance has now disappeared like smoke. “Oh, you’re here too.” She said it so loud that everyone in the room could hear it, but no one was surprised anymore. “Have you any shame at all? You show your face here when it was you who killed her.” She muttered again, this time for only Katelyn and Damon to hear. The words further reinforced that thought in Katelyn’s head. Coming here was a big mistake and it was obvious that Sarah never expected her to be there. “Not now mum, not t

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREEKatelyn was eighteen when it happened that year. Young, and stupid and desperate and scared. She had overheard someone in her class, an orphan like her, tell a friend that the family that adopted her was going to make her leave once she turned eighteen. Those words stayed with Katelyn for days and gave her sleepless nights. Anytime Alana called her to talk to her in private, her chest would lurch inside of her heart. “Is it today?”“Has she finally decided to send me away?”Those were questions that clouded her head every single day. Katelyn couldn’t imagine a life like that even if she was legally an adult. She couldn’t imagine finding her way on her own without Alana. Or without a family. Without a place to always go back to and call home. And with the hatred Sarah also had for her, Katelyn was sure there was no other way, she would be sent out. It was in this dilemma that Andrew…happened. It was Katelyn’s biggest regret, her biggest shame. The kind that s

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVETen minutes later, Katelyn was standing in front of a food truck that was usually parked a trekkable distance from Damon’s house. The man in question was standing beside her too, arms crossed, looking so out of place. The people sitting under the shade the food truck provided were also stealing glances at him, it wasn’t so often that a man in a suit showed up at a place where they made street food. But street food was Katelyn’s guilty pleasure, and it was just what she needed after the kind of night she has had. “Are you sure you don’t want to go back to the car? I can find my way back home, it’s just round the corner.” Katelyn asked him while they waited for her hamburger to be prepared. Damon cast wary glances around the place, eyes deeming it unsafe for her to be alone. “It’s fine. Besides, I already asked Simon to take the car home since you said we can walk.” Simon was the driver. Katelyn’s mouth opened but she closed it again, not exactly knowing how to

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVENKatelyn’s insides bubbled up with excitement when she heard the front door open. The footsteps that came after were like music to her ears as she smiled, wiping her hand on a napkin before walking out of the kitchen to welcome Damon home. She didn’t make it far, bumping into him right at the kitchen door. Then his lips were on hers with the precision and passion of someone who has done this countless times. Katelyn kissed back feverishly, her arms immediately going around his neck as he led her back into the kitchen. Her lower back met the kitchen counter and then he lowered himself just enough to gather her up by the back of her thighs and place her on the counter. Once he had her seated while still claiming her mouth with an intense ferocity, Damon spread her thighs with his legs and stepped in between them, pressing his body hard against hers. Katelyn gasped into his mouth when he moved his hips, grinding forward and creating a friction that sent electric sh

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE“That is unfair…” Katelyn shook from head to toe, her body betraying the confidence she had tried to portray since coming face to face with him again. “That is very unfair.” She repeated, her voice was just as shaky.“I have never played fair, and you know it. What makes you think I will start now?” He stood, taking one deliberate step after another to get to her. He stood at least two feet away from him, which was too close for comfort, but it was as if his threat had ice in it. It had her frozen in place, her heart racing at the thought of her worst nightmare and regret being brought to the limelight. “I did nothing wrong. You…you were the one who lied to me, used me, and discarded me.” The memories of that day surged forward, dark and still as painful as it was years ago. She clenched her eyes shut to send them away, but they still thrived in the darkness of her eyelids.“It seems you are forgetting one thing, Kate. You threw yourself at me.” His eyes grew da
