Wife of fortune

Chapter 24

I sip on the tea and the doors to the little cafe open up and a familiar face walks inside. Not the person I would liked to meet today.

"Kate, I didn't know you're back in Italy" Levi says excitedly "is this seat taken?" He says and I shake my head so he sits down.

"How's things?" He asks.

"It's fine" I say and look down at my cup not engaging much into the conversation.

"Is everything okay?" He asks and I look up to him. His blue eyes starting at me with worry. It's weird to see so much emotion into his eyes when I'm used to be around men who show no emotion.

"Actually it's not, I'm going through some things, but it's personal" I say and he reaches out his hand and touches mine and it used to bring me comfort but now I feel nothing.

"You can tell me anything you know that" he says and takes my other hand in his and then noticed the large ring on my hand.

"You got engaged?" He says surprised.

"I'm married actually" I say and look at the ring I totally forgot was there. A ring that Grayson got me, without asking. Levi looks shocked.

"When did you get married?" He asks taking his hands back to him.

"A while back" I say and put my hands down in my lap. "To the guy you met in London"

"Ah, yeah, I remember" he says and then proceeds to look around when he leans in a little bit and asks "are you in danger Kate?"

"No, no, I'm not" I say and give him a reassuring smile.

"It just seem very sudden" he says "I'm not judging, but we were together for 5 years, I didn't think you'd move on so quickly" excuse me?

"Levi, you're with someone else too" I point out.

"But you're married and not to mention I kinda thought you'd never get over me" he smiles and then says "you were crazy about me".

"Excuse you?" I say "do you need me to remind you of all the things you did to me?"

"I was great to you" he says confused and leans back in his chair.

"We're you great to me when Kris fucked me in your parents bedroom while I was drunk thinking it was you?" I stood and shouted at him.

"Everyone was right about you, you're an ass" I say and take my already cold tea cup and pour it on him.

"Kate, I didn't mean it" he says and stands up.

"Fuck you, Levi" I say and walk outside of the cafe and back to my car. The audacity of some men.

I finally get the courage and drive back home. I immediately walk to my bedroom and sit in my bed looking in my phone, reading articles about what I should do.

"What you doing sweetie?" My dad is standing in the doorframe and walks inside.

"Nothing" I say and sit up pulling my legs close to my body and looking at him.

"How are you feeling?" He says.

"I'm alright" I say.

"I wanted to say sorry again, about what happened on the boat in Hawaii, I hope you're still not mad" he says "I don't know what came over me, I would never want to hurt you"

If Grayson has taught me one thing is to never trust anyone, he's always in about people having bad intentions and your friends can become your enemy's. From what Bianca and Trevor has told me and my fathers weird phone call I'm not sure what he's up to.
