SORRY EX-HUSBAND, I’M TAKEN

Chapter four

Kate POV

If the future me was to come back and narrate everything that happened today even with evidence, I wouldn't have believed her. Not even a bit.

Firstly, my ex-husband has been sleeping with my mother who hates me because I got an inheritance. Second, some full-of-himself jerk crashed into the back of my car and insulted me. Third, I was framed and labelled a pornstar, thereby losing all my business associates.

They say all good things come in threes. I believed it was the same for bad luck but somehow I felt like it was going to be different in my case.

"Could you please let go of my hand?" I asked Mr Sebastian as soon as people's eyes were off us. "I'll take off the ring right now if that's what you want."

He just scoffed and started walking, dragging me along with him till we were out of the hall and standing in the hallway.

When he let go of me, I was about to take off the ring but he pinned my wrist to the wall behind me.

"What are you d..."

My words were cut off with a forced kiss I didn't even see coming. What the f**k?! Was I suddenly dealing with a rich p*****t?!

I wanted to push him away but then I heard soft giggles nearby.

Sebastian broke the kiss, leaving me breathless as he whispered, "they're watching us. Meet me in my office tomorrow and we can talk business."

With that, he slipped his business card into my hand, gave me a peck on my cheek that drew a gasp from my lips and walked off like it was nothing.

This man was dangerously insane.

...

I don't know how but I managed to leave that place and get into my car outside.

I placed both my hands on the steering wheel while his business card remained between my index and middle finger as I tried to calm myself.

Here I was, trying to hold everything together, trying to fix things for my image and my company, but it all kept getting worse with each passing second.

"Everything will be fine, Kate." I told myself, letting out a breath between my lips, "you can do this."

I started my car and reached home in just a few minutes. I felt exhausted but I needed to take a bath at least but as soon as I changed into a towel and opened my bathroom door, I screamed and backed away from the door.

"What the f**k are you doing here, Gilbert?!" I yelled, keeping my distance and holding my towel tightly.

"I live here. Or did you forget that?"

"Get out!" I screamed, pointing at the door.

"Why? You're my wife aren't you? It's not even going to be the first time I see that silky white skin of yours." Gilbert liked his lips as he kept closing the gap between us.

"Gilbert get out! I don't want you in my room! I bought this house!" I argued.

"And you did so in my name!" he retorted, "or did you forget that?!"

The colour drained from my face as I gazed at him, realising my mistake. He was right. I had bought it in his name.

Back then, when it was getting closer to his birthday, he always spoke of having his own house. He continuously mentioned it and planted the idea in my mind and I ended up buying him the house on his birthday. We made it out home and sold the previous one we lived in.

Gilbert smiled triumphantly, knowing that he had hit the spot with his words.

"There's a way you can still have a home to live in." he added, revealing a sheet of paper to me, "I'm still willing to take you back as my wife even if you're a pornstar. You don't have to marry that stuck-up bastard. I know you only did it for attention."

"You disgust me Gilbert." I spat, frowning as I gazed at him with nothing but hatred in my heart, "How did you even do it? Sleeping with my mother while you remained married to me. Have you no shame?"

"You're one to talk!" he snapped back, "this entire time, you've not only cheating on me but you're also a pornstar!"

"I was framed!" I yelled back.

Gilbert smiled in response, "I know."

Something about his smile told me that he did more than just know.

"Gilbert... It was you, wasn't it?" I questioned in disbelief, "you had me framed, Gilbert!"

"Sign the damn papers, Kate! You know you want to. You only belong to me. Always have, always will."

"No." I stated firmly, standing my ground, "I want nothing else to do with you."

Gilbert laughed, running his fingers through his hair, "You've always been the stubborn type, Kate. But not to worry. I will break you soon enough. Just wait and see."

"I'd like to see you try." I dared him.

"Oh. It's already begun. Now, pack your things and get out of my house. Your mom will be moving in soon and I don't want you here by the time she gets here."

With that, Gilbert left the room and I sunk to the ground, rethinking my entire existence. I wanted to shed tears but I held back. That monster didn't deserve it.

I got up and put my clothes back on, packed my clothes, and dragged my luggage to my car.

I drove until I found myself in front of a hotel where I parked my car at their parking spot and stepped into the building. Thankfully I still had enough money in my account and I booked a room.

I went up to my room door, used the key card to open it, and the first thing I did was take off my clothes, wrap myself in the hotel towel, and walk into their bathroom.

It really scented of sweet roses and even the bathtub was well prepared with rose petals and bubbles covering the top.

I sighed and took off the towel, hanging it on a hook and stepping into the warm relaxing bath.

It felt so good that I closed my eyes and I just had to stretch my legs. I felt something soft touch my feet and I caressed it with my toes, trying to figure out what it was.

Maybe a rubber duck?

But wait... Those float.

My eyes shot open and I let out a scream like the grim reaper just yelled 'peek-a-boo' to my face.

"What do you think you're doing you p*****t!" I screamed and grabbed the nearest object to me.

I was about to throw whatever it was at him but he was faster. He jumped unto me in the bath and grabbed my wrists, holding me in place and squeezing tight enough for me to let go of that object.

"p*****t, huh? And yet you were the one caressing my d**k just now with your feet." Sebastian said.

"Let go!"

"No." he snapped, clearly angry with me. "Now tell me princess... Just what the f**k are you doing in my bathroom?"
