I'm going to go see a patient when the door to my office bursts open.
Kane walks in, closing the door behind him. He stands in front of me looking as unhappy as I left him yesterday. I sigh, waiting for him to talk.
"What do you need? I'm busy." I am bored already.
"You slammed the door on my face yesterday. Our conversation wasn't over." That's the reason he's so angry.
"How long have you been with the idiot?" He is referring to Silas.
"A while." I lie, looking down at the clipboard in my hand.
"You're ending the ridiculous thing you call a relationship." He states and I smile shaking my head.
"No." I don't understand why.
"If you don't, I'll ruin your relationship with Orion. I'll make him hate you and that bastard." His words are meaningless to me although I know he is serious.
"Do whatever you want." I encourage because I am not afraid of him.
"It's truly sad that you would choose some random motherfucker over our son." He tries to get to me.
"Who says Orion will believe you?" I genuinely question.
"I'm sure he would." Kane is confident. "You know I can tell that he doesn't love you."
That's what I was waiting for.
"Instead of looking after random people..." He points to the papers in my hand.
"You should look after your son, Catalina. It's quite heartbreaking how he doesn't even refer to you as his mother." As much as his words genuinely hurt, I don't show it.
"Do and think whatever you want." I give him another smile. "Leave now. I'm busy."
I walk out the office past him as I am already late for an appointment because of him.

There is a soft knock on the door as I finish with some documents. I ask for the person to enter and then I look up to see Silas enter.
"Sorry, are you busy?" He gently asks, closing the door.
I shake my head as I get comfortable in my chair. Silas lightly smiles at me when taking a seat in the chair across my desk. He places his sunglasses on the desk and only stares at me. I stare back wondering what he is here for now.
"Why are you only staring and not saying anything?" I try to hold back a smile.
It's so hard being mad at him. Especially when he looks like that. So fucking hot and beautiful. Just so perfect.
"I'm only admiring your beauty, dolcezza." There he goes with that name that makes me feel weak.
A small smile escapes me, and he smiles big with that. I hate him for making me experience all these emotions and sensations. I may even forgive him, and I hate that too.
