The Contract Marriage

C- 73

Kathrine POV

I standing in the veranda surrounded by large plants. I was a bit hidden in that part so I wouldn't be noticed in that area. The ambient light was a bit dim. I was standing in that spot because Carl called me. He invited me to hang out  at a restaurant, as usual friendly date he said he would tell me something. We haven't seen each other for a long time so I agreed to his invitation to me. I asked him what we were talking about but he told me when we met up he said he would just tell me Carl said it was a secret. Unexpectedly after talking to Carl I saw Thunder with a woman brought out of his office so as usual there is something new with him. A playboy can't lived without a women in his behind.

"Thunder, don't do it to me", I  heard the woman yelling outside the office  as she was let out of Thunder's office. But for me I don't care who the women are who come to his mansion. As "I don't care", Kathrine says to herself. I was not affected dictated by the brain but in my heart I felt in pain. I'm so in pain.

When I noticed that someone was looking at my band where I was standing I hid myself. And when Thunder returned to his place I came out of the big plant where I was hiding. I was hurriedly  walking fast when I suddenly collided with a hard object, with a firm masculine body  and it's familiar  fragrant smell of it's scent. I looked at him to get rid of his embrace but Thunder hugged me tight with a smiled in his face.

I pushed him hard but Thunder was stronger than me. I never thought that the more people I bumped into, the more people I hated. The person I used to love but now I hate. Do I really hate him or do I still love him? ". 

"Let go of me ", I shouted at him. But he tightened his grip on me even more. My body stood straight and like a pierced candle I could hardly breathe in the tightness of his hugs. I want to hug him too but my mind against my heart. Suddenly my memory came back to what happened to us four years ago. His infidelity made me struggle with him.

"I miss you Kathrine", he whispered in my ear. but do I believe him. This man has a female flirtation lately. And maybe not satisfied and I'm the trip of it. So I pushed her harder to get out of her hugs.

I slightly smiled at him "Really!", And turned my back on him. I wondered how he knew I was here or he had seen me earlier standing on the veranda. So here he is now on the veranda.

Thunder followed me and pulled me back to the veranda. The place is quiet and no one people around . It was midnight so the people around were asleep. I ,first went to the children in each of their rooms and they slept soundly. Never mind the two of us just being awake at these times. Recently I saw his body guard with the woman who was released from his office.

"Can you take off your hand", and I turned my back on Thunder I knew he was staring me  but I ignore  with his   serious face. It was a bit dark around but I saw in his eyes the disappointment. He hugged me tightly but I struggled with him.

"Kathrine, can you give me another chance? ", He begged me. His serious face was so damn handsome. He is still the man I wanted and loved all my life. I knew in myself that I still love him but how I can forgive him if my brain is closed. Scenes of when I see him with another companion are repeatedly etched in my eyeball. The time he didn't give time to my love for him. The feeling of being ignored, how could I give him a second chance? He didn't know what it felt like to be rejected and toyed with.

I did not answer his question and forcefully removed his hand which was tightly wrapped around my waist. I felt my heart give up but I forced myself not to send in his teasing. I didn't want to be hurt again so I ignored the strong throb of my chest.
