• Derek's alarm sounded the next morning and he stretched his arms expecting to meet warm flesh as usual but his arms met a cold bed, he opened his eyes and looked at the empty bed, memories of what happened flood into his brain and he closed his eyes as if to put away the pain he was feeling, he desperately wanted to believe her yesterday but he couldn't allow himself to get caught in her lies again, she had been seeing Stefan without his knowledge and had hid it from him and when he had come home that day after receiving those photos, he had heard them discussing, rather planning, she was with him for his money, she might have staged a damsel in distress act in the first place to get him to marry her, afterall, he was a known figure,he was such a fool for falling into her trap and he won't be her fool anymore, he could probably endure the pain of her betrayal but he would not be able to forget the pain of losing his child, he had been so happy thinking that his dreams are finally coming true. being an only child, he had always dreamed of a family of his own and he had thought he had finally gotten it but she shattered his dreams. He slowly walked into the shower and had his bath, he quickly got dressed, carried his suitcase, and swung the door open. His eyes narrowed when he saw Kathleen on the door just as she was about to knock, "what are you doing here?" He asked coldly
• "Please Derek, I want to speak with you" she stared at him, her gaze pleading but he brushed past her, "I have a business to attend to"
