So shameless

"W...what are you talking about Catherine??" He stuttered out.

"I want a divorce." I said out loud. It felt so good to finally be able to say those words and the expression on his face added to the happiness within me.

"What??" He looked so shocked and funny right now. He really wasn't expecting me to say that.

"I said I want a divorce." I repeated even though he heard me clearly the first time. I noticed how his shocked expression immediately turned into an irritated one.

He scoffed; "You really want to divorce me?"

"Weren't my words clear enough??" I asked back with my head head high. I didn't want hum to think he would have any power over me anymore.

"Are you cheating on me?" I was both shocked and angry at the same time when he asked that question.

"You of all people shouldn't be asking me that shitty question."

"Why wouldn't I? The only reason you would dare utter such words is if you already have another man in your life. Do you??" He asked again, in a more menacing manner but I chose not to back down.

If having an 'affair' would be enough reason for him to let me go, then so be it.

The corners of my lips quirked up to form a wide smirk; "What if I d.." I wasn't able to complete my words when he suddenly gripped my neck tightly, thereby blocking my airflow.

I slapped his hands away but he gripped them back, tighter than before. "You really have the guts to cheat on me??" He sneered.

"You really think I would let you divorce me and run off with another man?? Over my dead body!!" He said through gritted teeth. I was slowly loosing my breath but he didn't care.

"You will never ever get a divorce from me. Not now... not ever. I would rather kill you with my own hands than let you throw me away like I am trash." He held my neck tightly with dark murderous gaze in his eyes.

This was the first time he was assaulting me physically amd what's worse is that I wasn't strong enough to fight him back because of my condition. When he noticed I was almost loosing consciousness, he let go of me.

I coughed out as I tried to steady my breath. I could feel my eyes watering as I wheezed in and out like an old person that's on her death bed. My eyes held fear and surprise as I stared at Andrew.

He still have that dark gaze in his eyes. He doesn't love me and he still wouldn't let me go. He really wanted to kill me just because I wanted to divorce him!!

He gave me one last look before storming angrily out of my ward. Right at that moment, Amara my so called step mother entered into the ward.

"Catherine.." She called as she rushed towards where I sat. Seeing her face gave me flashbacks of what she had Andrew did to me. I was reminded of her hateful words and her evil smile as she watched me crumble in my past life.

What was she doing here?? To show me more fake love? To gloat at me? Why didn't she go after her lover??

"Did you and Andrew have a fight? I noticed how angry he was when he left." She asked in concern.. fake concern.

She couldn't even hide her true emotions like she used to. I noticed how happy she was when she asked that question.

"It's nothing." I lied as I faked a smile.

"No.. it isn't nothing. You're eyes are red and watering. Is it because you had a miscarriage?" She asked.

"How do you know that? I haven't even mentioned it to you yet." Her face suddenly went pale when I asked that question but she was quick to wipe it off.

"W..well... hmm... your father told me that on the phone." She stuttered out.

It was obviously a lie but I decided not to push it since all she would do was give me more fake excuses.

"You can tell me if there's something wrong. You know you can always count on me to help you out the best way I can." She muttered as she pressed on my wrist tightly with her hand.

That was her way of telling me that she was the only one I could count on. In my past life, she was the one I had always told all of my secrets and marriage issues to since I didn't have any other friend without knowing she was part of the reason I was suffering.

"It's fine. Everything's okay." I lied as I withdrew my hand from hers. I noticed hard she tried to bury her anger with a faux smile.

"If you say so. I'll just leave you to rest then." She said as she straightened herself up before leaving the ward.

I breathed out in relief after she had left. It was so hard trying to keep up with the acting especially in front of them. I placed my hands on my neck and massaged it softly with my palm.

I know that Andrew's assault was going to leave a huge mark on it. I need to cover it up so dad wouldn't find out because if he does, he was going to go berserk.

Thankfully, I found a scarf amongst the clothes the butler might have brought for me when I was out so I put it on. It was chilly outside so me putting on a scarf wasn't going to raise any suspicion.

As I was alone, I had more time to think. Since I miraculously went back in time to three years before, that means dad's sickness hasn't started yet. He started getting sick a year after I lost my baby which is next year.

That means I still have time to save him. First of all, I need to take him to see a doctor for a checkup just in case and I need stop him from taking any unknown drugs. History can't repeat itself. Not in this lifetime.

It's been a while now and dad still hasn't come back into the ward so I started to get really concerned. I decided to go look for him myself because he wouldn't have left me in the hospital.

I stood up from my bed and left the ward. As I walked down the hallway, I heard a very familiar voice so I stopped walking. It sounded so much like Andrew. I thought he had left. I was confused till I heard Amara's voice.

They can't be doing what I think they are doing. I moved towards the ward the voices were coming from and opened the door a little bit so I would be able to peep.

I saw Amara sitting on a table with her legs wrapped around Andrew's torso. Andrew had his pants down and he was thrusting deeply into Amara. The noises they were making was so loud and unbearable so I shut the door and walked back into my room.

I plopped down on the bed as heart ached due to what I had just witnessed. That scene reminded me of all my pain and it hurt so much. He just killed his only child and the next thing to do was to fuck another woman.

He couldn't even wait for sometime before continuing with his disgusting affair. Worst of all was that they were doing it here, right in this hospital. Are they really that shameless??

No.. no!!! I can't keep letting him have his way with me. I won't give him the satisfaction of seeing me break down. He doesn't want a divorce? Fine. I won't divorce him that easily either.

I will make sure he pays for all he is doing and I will make him beg on his knees to leave me. Choosing not to divorce me now would be the biggest mistake of your wretched life Andrew!!
