In the evening, they arrived at the party after a long ride, however, at the gate of the party place, Aidan met his ex-wife, and also another young man with her.
Immediately Kate set eyes on Aidan, she frowned and began wondering what he had come to do there. He should realize that such places are not for people like him.Maybe, he still thinks they are still married, which gave him the guts to come there. He should wake up from his sleep.He should realize that they are not on the same level. She isn't the Kate he knew before, she's now a changed person, and he should know that.Again, Kate was angry because Aidan attacked her younger brother for no reason. Or maybe he was angry at her, which made him do that.Kate couldn't tell what was going on with Aidan. They just got divorced, and he is already harming her family members.He shouldn't try that nonsense!Aidan smiled to himself after seeing the smirk on Kate's face when their eyes met. He knew she was unsettled and shocked to see him here.The truth is that she never knew he was coming here anyways. So, of course, she will be surprised to see him.‘ She's already flirting with other men? This is more serious than I thought.’ Aidan thought inwardly after setting eyes on the young man standing with Kate.“ Why are you here?” Kate inquired and lowered her gaze to him.Sharon stood by the side watching Kate talking to Aidan. On the other hand, the man who was with Kate stood with his hands akimbo and glared at Aidan.Aidan sighed and replied calmly,“ Well, I'm here because I was invited by a friend of mine. Do you have any issues with that?”Kate rolled her eyes with an expression that says ‘whatever’. She averted her gaze from Aidan to the girl standing beside him.She wanted to ask who the girl was to him, but she immediately remembered that they were divorced and saw no reason to make any queries about the girl.“ And who is she?” Sharon finally asked as if she was suspecting something.Aidan frowned and responded to her.“ She's my ex-wife.” his cracked voice echoed.“ What?” Sharon was shocked.“ ex-wife?” she asked, not because she was demanding an answer for it.“ Yeah, she divorced me,” he announced nervously.Sharon was stunned, as she couldn't believe that someone like Aidan can be divorced by any woman. A billionaire? Maybe she doesn't know his identity.“ She divorced you?” another question sneaked out of Sharon's mouth.Aidan confirmed by nodding his head without uttering a word.Kate kept a calm and proud expression, knowing fully that she had nothing to do with this classless guy standing before her.But her thoughts took control of her, and she began remembering how hard Aidan had worked, tirelessly for the past three years.She knows how he has contributed to making her get to the level she was currently.Her mood suddenly changed. She was angry, she thought she had no feelings for this young man, but seeing him with this beautiful girl reminded her of the good moments they once shared.The beautiful girl beside Aidan made Kate uncomfortable, but she wouldn't show it because of the young man who was with her.“ Look!” she said sharply.“ I don't care who invited you or who the girl beside you is to you. But I know that you are here to find me.” she fired.“ What?” Aidan mouthed.“ I never knew you would be here though.” he explained, but Kate vehemently shocked her head.“ Do you think I will ever believe you?” she smirked."And of course, I'm convinced this girl standing with you was hired, so you can come and oppress me.” she asserted mockingly.“ Keep in mind that I can never marry you again because my heart belongs to someone now. So, there's no need to be following me around.”This made both Aidan and Sharon angry. If only she knew who she was talking to, she wouldn't be able to raise her voice at them.As if that weren't enough, Antonio, the young man standing with Kate, fired at him.“ So you were keeping this thing as a husband?” he mocked.“ come on Kate, why will you be keeping beggars around you?” he added and took a step towards Aidan.He stared Aidan directly in the eye and said,“ This place is for noble people with fancy clothes and not with torn and faded clothes like yours.”Aidan stared at Antonio as he mocked him in the presence of these ladies standing with them.“ Mr. Nobody,” Antonio called out teasingly.“ This place is for successful business people and not people who wear cheap clothes like you. This states that you don't belong here.” he sniffed.“ Enough of the insults!” Sharon snapped and cut in.“ you should be wise to know that he isn't here for trouble, that's why he's quiet.” she scoffed.Antonio raised his brows, skeptical, and took a step backward.Aidan was angry. He never knew his wife was like this. A woman who keeps arrogant men around? Terrible.Sharon turned around and faced Aidan and forced herself to smile at him, but his face remained clouded with anger.“ I thought they knew who you were, but it's clear that they have no idea of who you are,” Sharon muttered, but Kate and Antonio didn't hear that.“ Please, forget about these people, and let's go,” said Sharon to Aidan.At this time, the party began and Sharon took Aidan by the hand and walked past Kate and her new man.Antonio laughed teasingly and said,“ we don't have time to play with poor guys like you. We have got invitations for this party, but you didn't and this is proof that we are nobler than you.”He kept barking until Aidan and Sharon were out of sight. He intended to make Aidan angrier, so he can stop lurking around to get his wife back.Kate, on the other side, stood speechless as she stared at Aidan holding hands with this beautiful girl and walking into the party hall.However, she couldn't say anything, but she didn't forget to inform them that the party was held by the business talent of the Charles family companies, and the girl should recognize this reality.She felt like telling the girl to leave Aidan alone, but she couldn't. Although she wasn't ready to settle with him, she felt hurt seeing Aidan with this girl.“ Babe,” Antonio called her back to reality.“ Forget about him and let's go,” he said and extended his hand for Kate to take.Kate nodded and smiled at him before taking his hand. Antonio smiled back at her and began to walk to the party hall entrance like a newly wedded couple.On getting to the enormous party hall with dim lights, and beautiful decorations, Aidan turned and looked at Sharon with a weird face.He asked,“ The business talent of the Charles family, is that you?”Sharon smiled at him and admitted with pride as she took Aidan by the hand and led him to a seat in the front row.At the party, Kate was a bit excited because she was a big fan of the girl who owns the Charles' family company. The shocking thing was that Kate wasn't aware that she had met this girl at the gate. She sat as she patiently waited for the arrival of the girl, so she could meet her in person.This was the first time she was going to partner with this big company, and she felt like a dream come true. It will be a great pleasure to partner with them and earn more revenue for her company.As she sat with Antonio by her side, her phone began ringing, and she quickly unzipped her purse and took out the phone.A smile curved her pink lips after setting eyes on the caller ID. She stood up to go outside, so she could pick up the call.The reason was that the blaring of the sound from the party wouldn't allow her to hear what the caller would say, and it was an important call she wouldn't want to ignore.“ Hey, where are you going?” Antonio held her hand from behind, and she abruptly stopped.
Everything was lost within a day. Everything… She divorced her husband, and got a last contract from the Fredericks' company; now her name wasn't found in the Charles' family business partners. What a sad day!Kate's body went cold as tears trickled down her cheeks. Everything on her became heavy to carry.Antonio, on the other hand, was short of words, there was nothing he could do to comfort her now. This was her last hope, and it slipped off her hand.“ Take me home,” her low voice echoed in Antonio's ears as she felt on his body, looking lifeless.“ Be strong, and take it as part of life, babe,” he encouraged her, but words of encouragement weren't her problem at that moment.“ I said take me home!” she shouted at Antonio, and he winced inside as if she wanted to punch him.“ I will do just that,” he assured her and placed his left hand around her waist, and took her right hand and placed it across his neck. He began walking her to the exit. She was so weak that she found it hard
As Sharon drove Aidan home, she could feel how he was filled with anger. There was no trace of happiness on his face.Sharon was scared to talk to him, so he wouldn't get angrier because he didn't look like someone who would reply to her amid this critical situation. He looks hurt, heartbroken, and betrayed. One doesn't need to ask about that because it was written all over his face.Sharon couldn't help but stare at Aidan, who has been staring at a ring he placed on his palms.This tells Sharon that the divorce took place that very day. No doubt about that.Seeing him in this mood, Sharon thought music would at least help, so she decided to play music as she drove, but he didn't seem to move by the music.However, he didn't hesitate to give her directions to his house. That was the number one important thing he must do so he could get home. Take left, take right; make a U-turn, and so on. She needed it to locate his house, or else, they would get lost because she didn't know his hou
It was evening. Aidan, his mother, and his younger sister were sitting in the mansion garden. Aidan's mother, Mrs. Frederick had called Aidan to hear what happened in the past three years of him being away from home. “ Aidan,” Mrs. Frederick called out as she rested her hand on the table before them.“ What exactly happened? Because if I can recall, you told me you are married, but the lady you came with had left. So what are you saying?” she inquired.“ Hmm,” Aidan sighed as he tried hard not to remember what Kate and her family had done to him.“ Big bro,” Catherine called for his attention and asked.“ Where is your wife and who is she?” Aidan chuckled and responded.“ Her name is Kate, a poor man's daughter who lost her father a few years ago because of kidney cancer, as I once told you before I left. I came in contact with her when I went for a walk outside the estate.” he began explaining how he met her. “ I met this young lady bitterly weeping by the roadside, and I felt sorry
It was another beautiful morning and the day Mr. Donald had asked Kate to come over to the Frederick's family Company headquarters.She had been eagerly waiting for this day, and it was like it was delayed. Her business can't just die like that. No! Kate took a quick shower and slid into her black suit and her black flat-footed shoes. She wanted to dress smart and look beautiful. Who knows, if this boss might fall in love with her?She grabbed her purse, phone, and car key and ran downstairs.“ Sis, isn't it too early for you to go to the company?” Felix asked as he ate his breakfast at the dining table.“ Late?” she mouthed.“ It's thirty minutes past seven O'Clock,” she responded.“ Alright, you are good to go, then,” said Felix." By the way, good luck,” he added.“ Thank you,” she appreciated.“ please inform Mom that I have gone if she comes out.”“ Okay,” Felix nodded and concentrated on the food before him.Within minutes, Kate was already on the expressway. She was driving as tho
“ Don't dare, Kate.” Aidan warned.“ Get out of my office." He commanded the last time before pushing her out of his office and locking it inside.Kate dragged her legs to the elevator as tears trickled down her cheeks. What has she done to herself? If she had known.She pressed the elevator button and the door opened and she stepped in. Kate shut her eyes and took a deep breath before breathing out. After a few minutes, she arrived at the down floor. She sniffed and used the back of her hand and cleaned her tears so that no one would notice it.She walked past Lily, the receptionist, without telling her goodbye. However, Lily called, but she never responded.Before the security at the exit could open the door, she forcefully pushed it and walked out. She was furious that she wished no one would dare talk to her that day. Immediately she got to where she parked her car, she brought out the car key from her purse and inserted it in the door lock.As she was about to open the door, a h
“ Huh?” Felix mouthed.“ you are kidding, right?” he chuckled as he asked.“ I'm not.” she smirked.“ he owns the company that has been sending me contracts,” she explained.Mrs. Emily was already shivering in shock, knowing that Kate won't play with such news. She won't lie to them about such a thing.The living room went completely silent as if no one were inside of it. The only sound one could hear was their breath. “ How is this possible, Kate?” Mrs. Emily inquired to cure her curiosity.She couldn't imagine someone who lived like a slave in her house, suddenly become a billionaire overnight after chasing him out of the house. “ Why am I finding this funny?” said Felix with a chuckle.“ I'm wondering how possible this is. Sis, are you sure you didn't mistake Aidan's lookalike for him?” he questioned, as he wasn't ready to accept what she told them.“ Stop blackmailing me as a liar,” she replied with a grin.“ Do I look
As usual, Kate was already awake as she got ready to meet the CEO of the Charles family business company to plead for help.Unfortunately, she couldn't get enough sleep the previous night. She was unable to tell if it was because of how badly Aidan treated her or because she was going to the Charles family business company the next day.Kate only slept for three hours and during the remaining hours, she was wide awake pondering about her life. She regretted divorcing Aidan. If only she knew.The only thing that can get her off this miserable life is if she gets to partner with the company she was eager to go to today.This would be her story of from grace to grass if she didn't get to partner with any of the top companies in the city.It would be more embarrassing when those that knew her as a CEO see her living a low life. Will she be able to face the shame? Not at all.“Again? Why do you like leaving so early? What sort of company will require their staff to go to the office this ea
