Billionaire’s Bride

CHAPTER 2

The driver parks the car in the garage. Dylan gets down from the car and finding his way into the mansion. She watches him leave in surprise…

Isn't he supposed to open the door for me ?

Katherine thought. Also getting down, she hurried into the mansion.

" Hey, wait up" Kate calls after him. Trying to meet up with him, Dylan halted, a frown on his face. He turned around to look at her.

" What is it ?? " He asked, not so nicely. Katherine looked taken aback. Wasn't he acting all romantic awhile ago ? Why the sudden change of tone ?

" You didn't -" She swallowed back her words as she couldn't bring herself to question him, knowing he would get mad ; He waited for her to speak. Kate forced a smile and then asked

" Where are we going next ? " She says and he furrows his eyebrows.

" We aren't going anywhere, Kate" Dylan said, and her smile vanished.

" We aren't going anywhere ? Why ? I mean, it's our honeymoon- "

" Yeah right, It ended today. So, you can start to live your life the way you want " He cuts her off and with that, he heads up the stairs, leaving her speechless.

' It was ? No! It's still our honeymoon. Why would he say it's ended ? ' Kate asks no one in particular.

" Darling ? " Katherine calls after a while, also heading up the stairs. Closing the door behind her she walks further into the bedroom.

" What do you mean our honeymoon ended today ? It hasn't. For all I know, it's going to end next week. "

" It's over and that's final ! " Dylan said, taking off his jewelry.

" Are you for real ? Kate asked bemusedly, folding her hands. She watched him unbutton his shirt .

" Yes, I'm. We spent the whole of last week exploring Paris. For how long are we going to continue to do that ? We are adults and I have better things to do than travel around the world with you. "

" With me ? " Kate scoffed, not believing he had just said that.

" In case you might have forgotten, I'm not just anyone, I'm your wife, and it's our honeymoon for Christ's sake.. We should be together, we should be spending time together."

" That I have done ! I have traveled the world with you, I have done everything necessary.. Right now, I need space. Space away from - " His tone hardened

" Did I do something ? Anything ? I'm sorry if I offended you.. I -" Kate was quick to apologize.

" I need space from this headache, I need space from you . From this, I don't think that's too much of me to ask " Dylan completed and she shook her head, not liking the sound of that.

" Just a while ago, you were talking about how you love me. Now you want a space away from me ? You literally said you cannot live without me, Wha- "

" Will you just shut it ? Cut the crap Kate! That was a show, alright? All Facade! It's what the world wants to see and that's exactly what I gave to them " Dylan half yelled, and a shiver ran through Kate's spine as she couldn't believe the man before her, The man she calls a husband turning into something she never expected from him ; Kate couldn't believe he just yelled at her.

" I need space from this "she murmured this time and all of it just made her mute. No words formed her mouth as she couldn't think of what to say or do..

" I didn't mean to yell at you "he muttered, looking at her.

" No, it's fine" Kate says softly, playing with her nails.

We got married without knowing each other that well. I understand that you may not like me that much but - "

" I will see you later " Dylan cut her off. He takes off his shirt and walks over to the bathroom, closing the door behind him . Kate swallowed. Breathing out, she tried to harbor the pain she was feeling deep down.

Slowly, she walks to the bed, gently sitting on it. Kate looked at her left hand , the second to the last finger which held a diamond ring. A bitter smile crossed her lips…

Dylan joggled down the stairs, Kate following behind. The guards continued to bow as the couple passed by them. Kate followed him as she couldn't bring herself to ask him a question that was burning her insides down.

Dylan halts as he couldn't handle her following him any longer. Kate collided with him, making her head hit his back. Dylan frowned. He turned around slowly.

" What do you want, Katherine ? " Dylan asks and Kate raises her head, looking at him. She swallows.

" You wanted space, I'm giving you space but -" she licks her lips in hesitation

" You will be back tonight, right ? " Kate asked softly and he asked.

" And If I don't ? " Dylan asks if looking directly into her eyes. Kate licks her lips.

" I need you to be back, I can't sleep without you by my -" she tried to reach him, but he walked away.

" Dylan ? " She called, but he didn't look at her.

" You're my husband for crying out loud, you should be - "

" I advise you to make use of the duvet. Don't stay up " Dylan's voice came in a murmur and with that he walked out of the Mansion. Kate couldn't believe her ears. She couldn't believe he just said not to talk of walking out on her …

What was it she wasn't doing right ?

Why didn't he find her attractive ?

All her life she has been wanted by men. But why doesn't Dylan Red want me ??

He was sweet with her an hour ago. What is it she did just now ? What's with the attitude ? Katherine thought sadly about not finding an answer to it

" That was a show, alright? All Facade! It's what the world wants to see and that's exactly what I gave to them" Kate remembered his voice and her heart broke into a thousand pieces… " All Facade ? " Kate murmured, her voice shakily as she found it had to breathe.
