Semua Bab Trading My Cheating Husband For My Best Friend's Husband : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Katrina's POV My eyes opened instantly as the morning light seeped through the curtains. With a yawn, I stretched my limbs and sat upright, taking in the cold, empty side of the sheets next to me. Right…I kicked Adrian out of the room last night. Then…met up with Christian at his back porch. I bit on my bottom lips as the memory of last night burned through my mind like a tease, making my thighs clench together under the sheets instinctively. Every night I shared with Christian was never boring…never the same experience. It drove my senses vulnerable and expectant, always looking forward to what the next ones might look like. But how did I end up back in my room? Don't tell me I fell asleep on his porch! Or wait, did Christian carry me back himself? I thought he was drunk. ‘Does a sober man hold you the way I do, Kitten?’ His words immediately rang in my head, making my cheeks turn red as I recalled the look on his face last night. If he was this hot sober, what would he

Katrina's POV Adrian defending me at breakfast shouldn't have bothered me as much as it did.Maybe it was because I had grown so used to him taking Sarah's side that seeing him do the opposite had caught me off guard. Or maybe a part of me was still stupid enough to wonder if he was finally beginning to see how badly he'd treated me.Whatever it was, I needed to stop thinking about it.One decent moment didn't erase all the years of disappointment. And his sudden interest in Leo didn't mean I was going to let him back into my heart.I packed my things, determined to leave this cabin before another problem found its way to me. Across the room, Adrian sat beside Leo, helping him with his tablet. Sarah was in the kitchen, humming as she arranged a few things.Everything looked normal.It was almost insulting.Sarah had accused me of touching her tea that morning, yet now she was behaving as if nothing had happened. Every so often, though, I caught her looking at me.I pretended not to n

Katrina's POV Dammit. Why was it this hard? I couldn't hate him the way I wanted to, and I couldn't let myself feel anything else, either. So I kept moving. Kept finding excuses. Kept pretending his attention didn't affect me. But I wasn't the only one who noticed. Sarah noticed everything. And from the way she kept looking between us, I had a feeling she was putting pieces together that I desperately needed her to leave alone. Adrian wasn't helping matters, either. He barely spoke to Sarah unless she spoke to him first. When she tried to sit beside him, he found a reason to get up. When she asked him something, his answers were short and distracted. I might have enjoyed watching her struggle if I hadn't been so busy dealing with my own problems. By evening, the tension in the cabin had become almost unbearable.

Katrina's POV“Dare.”Sarah's eyes lit up immediately.Oh, I didn't like that look. Not one bit.She leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees as she studied me with a smile that made me want to take back my decision.“Are you sure, Katrina?”I rolled my eyes. “You asked me to choose, and I did. So, what's the dare?”“Fine.” She dragged the word out, glancing briefly at Christian before looking back at me. “I dare you to kiss my husband.”I stared at her.What?For a moment, I genuinely thought the alcohol had finally gotten to her head.“Excuse me?”“You heard me.” She giggled, lifting her glass to her lips. “Kiss Christian.”I looked at Christian, who had gone completely frozen in his seat, his glass frozen halfway to his lips, those dark eyes fixed on me with an expression I couldn't read.Then I looked at Adrian. My husband. Who was watching this whole thing like it was some kind of spectator sport.“Are you out of your mind? He's your husband!” I finally found the words to

Katrina's POVAdrian was the first to pull away."I should check on Leo," he said, his voice rough, like he'd been holding his breath. "Make sure he's still asleep."I nodded.I couldn't speak. My throat was too tight, and I wasn't sure now was the right time to curse him out.He studied my face for some seconds, his hands still resting lightly on my arms."Are you okay?" He asked, almost like he could feel the difference in the way I looked at him.I held back a laugh at the question, wondering if I had an actual answer to that. Was I okay?I'd spent the last few days trapped in a cabin with my cheating husband and the man I was slowly losing control of my feelings for. I'd been accused, threatened, humiliated, and forced to pretend none of it bothered me.And now I was standing in a hallway, trying to understand why I'd allowed Adrian to hold me."I'm fine," I said, but the hitch on the tip of my tongue said otherwise.His eyes searched mine, narrowing a bit on the tight-lipped smil
