Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

Kathleen ran into the room and locked the door behind her, she leaned on the door to steady her shaky legs tears flooding her eyes, she put her palms on her chest, it felt as if it was about to burst open with the pain, she choked on a sob as she slides on the door as theears came running down her cheeks, how could she be so delusional? She had almost given herself to him just a few hours ago and in the space of a heartbeat, he was in another woman's arms, what was it that that lady said? He thought of her as pitiful and saw her as an obstacle between him and his love, her heart aches as it threatened to burst with emotions, she had naively thought he felt something for her just a moment ago and had allowed herself to be carried away by emotions, she burrowed her head between her knees as she allowed the tears to flow freely, she ignored the sudden pounding on the door for her to open the door, she just wanted to hide.
"Kathleen, open this door right now" his voice thundered from the other side, what does he care? He should go and meet his lover and leave her alone, why was he here? Perhaps, he had come to gloat in her face, his lover had come here looking for him, he had no regard for her his wife.
