Flew Overseas to Surprise My Husband—Big Surprise! Caught His Mistress There Chapter 08

I snap at him:

“Look-I’m not some damn possession. Just because we got married doesn’t mean you own me.”

He just stands there. Mouth open. Nothing.

I grab the papers from Marcus and practically throw them at Nathan.

“Sign it. We’re done here.”

He looks at me like I just shot him. Eyes all watery and pathetic.

I can’t even look at his face right now.

“Just fucking sign it, Nathan.”

Finally clicks for him that I’m serious.

His hand’s shaking so bad he can barely hold the pen. But he signs.

I rip the papers away before he gets any ideas and hand them off to Marcus.

“Finish this up for me? Just mail everything to whatever address I text you.”

Marcus nods. I grab my suitcase.

Something yanks it back.

Nathan’s got the handle in a death grip. Eyes completely red. “So that’s it? You’re just… gone?”

I don’t say anything. Just pull the suitcase free and walk.

Don’t look back.

Nathan has no clue how he got home.

Just keeps seeing me leave. Over and over.

Been tearing himself apart since I found out.

Like-if he loved me, why’d he do it? WHY?

He remembers what I said to him way back.

You cheat? I’m out. That’s it.

And he was SO scared of losing me.

So what the hell was he thinking?

Guess he figured I’d never know. Or even if I did, I’d be too in love to actually leave.

Wrong.

He forgot I don’t do drama. I don’t “work through it.”

I just cut the cord.

He gets back to the apartment and just starts drinking. Straight from the bottle.

Only way to shut his brain up.

Phone buzzes.

Dad.

“YOU FUCKING IDIOT! Best woman you’ll EVER meet and you pissed it all away for what?!”

“You have any idea how much you just cost us? Over a hundred million! I’ve been busting my ass trying to save what you almost destroyed!”

“I’m embarrassed to call you my son. Stay the hell where you are. Don’t come back.”

Mom tries to jump in: “He screwed up but he’s still-”

“A screwup is right! He shows his face here and we’re finished! I’m not letting him burn down everything our family built!”

“You miss him so much? Go live with him yourself.”

She goes quiet.

Dad just keeps laying into him. Every word lands.

Nathan’s got nothing. Can’t defend himself.

Dad finally stops.

“Stay. Away. Or you’ll regret it.”

Click.

Nathan grabs his hair with both hands and kicks the table over.

Knock knock knock.

Door.

He storms over and whips it open-

storm

And his stomach drops.

The last person he wants to see right now.
