CHAPTER 42: TILL DEATH DO US PART

"What’s this image that has been circulating all over the internet, Katherine?" Nathan questioned. "Have you been cheating on me this entire time?!" He yelled a little louder, making her flinch in fear.

Katherine felt goosebumps rise on her skin once again. She’s not yet recovered from her talk with Alisha and now Nathan had to come from nowhere and make her feel scared once again.

"What you saw was fake. Alisha was the one who uploaded the picture. She wants to get back at me and she has refused to get them deleted," she said, about to hold his hand as she pleaded. "I would never cheat on you, Nathan. I love you."

Nathan glared at her. "You must think I’m blind. You were kissing some stranger. And now you’re telling me it was fake. You must think I’m stupid. I’ll make sure you regret this."

He was about to walk away but Katherine immediately hugged him from behind, holding him tight so he wouldn’t leave her, tears rolling down her face.

"I wouldn’t do that, Nathan. I would never cheat on you. I told you that Alisha was planning on ending my career. This is just one of her tricks. I’m sure she asked Maxine to edit my pictures and bring in this result just to tarnish my name. We’ve been in a relationship for the longest time, Nathan. Do you really think that I would cheat on you?" She cried, her tears staining his suit.

When she felt Nathan relax, she guessed she was able to warm her way back into his heart again.

Nathan turned to her, cupped her face, and wiped her tears away.

"That woman is starting to cross the line now. I’ll see to it she gets what’s coming her way," he promised as she pecked Katherine on the lips and buried her face in his chest and he hugged her.

To think that he almost believed what he’d seen on the internet a few minutes ago. He and Katherine had been through thick and thin before.

Her family wasn’t exactly influential, so when they’d first been dating, his father had rejected her, believing she would be a gold digger since their family was several times more richer than hers.

He broke up with her and found Eva, but he still missed Katherine.

When her father’s business skyrocketed, bringing more clients daily, he believed he could pursue her again, but he was already with Eva. But he loved Katherine more.

So instead of having only one woman, why not have two and get different pussy every day. Unfortunately, he’d slipped off when he’d asked Katherine to come to the restaurant he’d booked to celebrate his wedding anniversary with Eva, causing the latter to find out about it.

However, he never regretted his decision to cheat with Katherine. She was his type, and Eva was just another cum incubator to him but she couldn’t even give him a child the entire time they were together.

Meanwhile, Katherine had a grin on her lips as she hugged Nathan tightly.

But she knew this facade of hers wouldn’t last long. She needed to do something for Alisha as soon as possible, especially since she knew what she’d done to Evangeline Montclair.

Alisha went to the terrace to catch a breath. Wherever she turned her ears, people were talking about Katherine and how she’d been cheating on her husband the entire time.

Katherine’s loyal fans who’d been around ended up fighting other fans and security had to kick them out.

Alisha had not planned to tell Katherine she knew about Eva, and right now, Katherine would probably be trying to dig up her past and find out who she was, especially since she’d tried to get rid of Eva in the cleanest way.

The hotel was overlooking the city of Lexora. As it was already nighttime, the lights made the city even more beautiful, and once again, she wished she had her phone so she could take a picture but Maxine was still dealing with Bethany as she didn’t like her wardrobe malfunction on the runway. But she’d told her she would meet up with Alisha on the terrace once she was done with Bethany.

Alisha’s face scrunched up when she smelt something that made her stomach churn—it was the smell of cigarettes.

She scanned around to find Dante taking a big puff.

His back was facing her and he didn’t seem to know she was right behind him.

Alisha grinned as an idea popped into her head. She sneaked behind his back and yelled, "Hey!"

Dante jumped in fear and started coughing immediately.

"What is wrong with you? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" He questioned mid-cough as the smoke went straight into the wrong pipe.

"Maybe," she responded, her grin stretching further but Dante was still coughing to respond to her words.

Quickly, she started patting his back until he was relieved.

"If you’re planning on killing me, I’m sure there are faster ways, my love," he teased.

She felt something shift in her at the way he called her my love and somehow, she didn’t hate it.

"I don’t need to bother doing that. You’re already killing yourself by taking that," she glared at the cigarette that was sitting between his slender long fingers.

Dante cocked his eyes at the cigarettes. "What? You don’t smoke?"

"I don’t," she sighed.

"Really? You act crazy all the time that I thought you were always high on something," he teased which earned him a glare from her.

"Smoking is nasty though. It kills your lungs and you don’t notice it until it’s already too late," she explained.

"Oh really now?" He asked, a smirk on his lips.

"And you could die."

Dante simply hummed before throwing the cigarette on the floor and quenching it with his sleek shoes.

Before she could react, he pulled her towards him. "There, it’s gone. Now I can live long enough to be your husband till death do us part."

Her stomach flipped.
