Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Kate, Naomi, and Dante spent the rest days organizing the staff at the resort but Kate had to leave earlier than she anticipated as Alvin called her. " Hello Alvin'

" Come home. I'm waiting" he didn't give her time to speak before she heard a beep from the other side.

She shrugged and began to pack per his orders. Naomi entered and smiled secretly glad she was leaving to get punished.

" Where are you going? I thought it was a two weeks trip? She feigned innocence

" It's been ten days already. It's a miracle he allowed me to stay this long. He wants me home. I don't know why since Cynthia is keeping him warm" she spoke in oblivion that she just said it out loud which had Naomi stiffening. Cynthia is back!?

" You mean his ex? How did you know? I'm sure he's just pulling your legs" she giggled trying to convince herself " nope he isn't. I saw her. She's here to take what belongs to her. Alvin isn't worth fighting for. She's delusional" she paused then started offloading her things. She was spending the remaining days whether he likes it or not.

" So you're giving him up? Do you love Dante that much? Kate stiffened then spoke " this isn't about Dante Naomi. It's my decision. Anyone can have him. I don't bloody care as long as he doesn't shove it in my face" she retorts.

Naomi was in a trance thinking about his kisses, caresses. She couldn't wait to feel him inside her. The thought had her wet already. She muffled earning Kate's judgemental gaze which had her straightening herself. " Too bad. It's a good thing you're still young and beautiful" she coaxed hugging her.

" Thanks, Naomi. I don't know what I'd do without you. Thanks for everything" she said in enthusiasm holding her tight. The hug made her feel awkward especially when she daydreamed about sleeping with her husband.

She disengaged from the hug " it's okay. What are friends for. I advise you to go home to him . Dante and I will round up" she implored but Kate didn't think so. She was staying the whole week. It's better than watching him screw Cynthia.

Steadily, four days went by with Kate avoiding Dante anytime he comes closer to her. Dante resolved to give her time while he focused on his work as well. The trio returned to the city by nightfall.

" I'll see you at work tomorrow right? Dante asked as she nods.

' I'm gonna miss you. Good night Kate" he said giving her a quick peck then left muttering sorry to her with a smirk. Kate shrugged grabbing her bag reaching for her phone to order an Uber then Colton stopped in front of her. " Get in " she twitched her mouth, walked to the trunk and tucked her bag in then went on board.

" Weren't you told to return four days ago? He asked but she ignored him with a hiss

" Hmm. Women! They just don't get it. Just because he fucks you now, you think you can do whatever you want. I pity you " Kate kicked his seat aggressively as he panicking almost colliding with another car. He stopped the car having stabilized it then alighted to open the door for her at the side of the road and said " get out of my car. Suicidal bitch" he cussed charging to get her things from the trunk then she entered the driver's seat leaving him behind.

She wanted him to know how it feels to be stranded on the road without transportation.

She honk by the time she reached the house, the gatekeeper opened the gate for her then collected the keys to park it properly.

Then took her bag out and strolled inside. Lisa and Annette welcomed her with hugs and kisses while Miranda took her bags inside.

" Sir Alvin is in the study. I think he's waiting for you. " Annette the matchmaker tells her. She hums trailing to her room while Miranda followed closely.

" Mrs. Reagan, there's another visitor in the house. She's blonde and she sleeps in the master's room every day since you left" she tells her which didn't surprise Kate.

" They make out anywhere in the house. I thought you weren't coming back" Kate silenced her with her hands gesturing her to leave. Miranda was nothing good but she found herself believing it. She admits it hurts not after he tossed her for a whole week. She sniffled opening her room and noticed her things has been moved. She looked closely and saw Cynthia's photo frames everywhere.

She searched for the cameras and found out it wasn't there either. It crushed her spirit, she stumbled back like someone just poured a bucket of cold water on her. Alvin is going to kill me was the only thing on her lips then she quickly sent Dante a message.

Then the door slowly opened revealing a rather conceited Cynthia. She circled her then laughed.

" Are you surprised? I just took what originally belonged to me. I can't wait for you to get out of our lives. Bitch" she slapped her " that's for taking him away from me. For sleeping in his arms, for stealing his heart, and for answering his name" Kate was trying to understand when things got that bad that he had to bring Cynthia into their home.

She was excited on the other hand that she was finally going to be free from his shackles. Just a subtle part of her. She wiped her face with her palms and carried her bags out of the room staggering to hold her weight.

She faced the door sobbing softly then wiped her tears deciding never to shed a tear for him again then removed the ring on her finger dropping it at the doorstep then climbed down.

Lisa and Annette ran to help her surprised to see her with the same bag. " What happened? Kate, talk to me" Lisa urged but she was too traumatized to utter a word. They sat her down serving her refreshing tea to calm her nerves but she ended up shattering the cup then took her bag heading to the door when she heard his baritone voice.

' and who permitted you to leave? Get inside "his voice carried unnerving emotions probably because he was upset.

Kate ignored him and continued walking till she came face to face with a furious Colton who was sweating profusely from waiting in the sun.

She decided to bypass him but he blocked her way, she tried again but he wouldn't let her go then she slapped him with all the strength she could gather then faced, Alvin. " Please let me go. You've Cynthia Alvin. It's clear you don't want me here. I'm begging you please" she pleaded on the verge of losing her mind.

" Make her seat" he stated like she didn't say a word earlier

Colt was rather happy to oblige, he had a grudge against her for what happened earlier. He pushed her and she lost balance falling on the couch then Alvin sat far away from her.

" Alive feed huh? You've guts after all" he said with seething hatred which had her eyes widening. A live feed? Dante never told her it was a live feed. What a bastard she cussed her naiveness not daring to look at his face.

" You look surprised. You didn't think I'll find it. Actually, Cynthia did since she's living there now. Guess where you'll be living in the meantime? She could only imagine from the horror in his eyes. It was no place good. He knew how to break her confidence.

He was about to tell her when Cynthia climbed down smiling then kissed Alvin. She looked at her with a smug smile and deepened the kiss which Alvin didn't refuse. Kate turned her head away but Colt forced her to look which had her whimpering. This was the moment she preferred having an attack but nothing.

She watched Alvin kiss her the way he kisses her then withdrew from the kiss while Cynthia sat beside him fiddling with his sleeves which were rolled to his elbow.
