Attracted By My Ex-wife

There was a malicious smile across Kevin's face.Anne's heart was pounding. She forgot to resist and the fact that this man didn't even love her.He consumed her, kissing her more passionately this time. The look in his eyes gave him away—he was losing himself.All of a sudden, she came back to her senses. Quivering, she pushed him away. It seemed that the shock factor had rendered her motionless."Kevin, stop. Let go of me!"She clutched his chest, attempting to get him off her but to no avail as she was too weak."Anne, don't you think you're a little too late? I'm already here, why would I give up halfway?"He flashed her a bitter grin. It was obvious that he had no intentions of letting her go."Kevin, stop right now! Think about the baby!"Anne wasn't even worried about being violated by him. Instead, she was concerned about what could happen to the baby if she physically strained herself.Upon hearing this, Kevin paused as if he was considering this. However, not long after, he resumed, still refusing to give up."Don't worry. I won't hurt the baby."Since she was pregnant, he would have to be more careful and gentle now.Eyes widened, she glowered at him. More than anything, she just wanted to kick him off the bed. He was hell-bent on getting his way even if that meant harassing her."Kevin, have you forgotten about what the doctor advised? He told me I couldn't strain myself physically. You're going to hurt the baby."Despite her bubbling anger, she figured it was better if she just talked to him calmly. She knew him very well after all. If she got on his nerves, he would only get more stubborn."I'm going to be very gentle..."Kevin tenaciously insisted. Anne could feel her heart beating rapidly in her chest, the authoritarian look on his face affecting her tremendously.After a night of turmoil, Kevin found great satisfaction as he relished Anne's body much to his confusion.He found himself glaringly uninterested in other women. Even if Cherry took off all her clothes in front of him, he wouldn't even react. But when it came to Anne, he found himself losing his self-control.When Anne woke up that morning, she felt sore all over as she recalled the events of last night. A flush of embarrassment tinted her face.She turned over only to find that Kevin wasn't there anymore. Still, his side of the bed felt warm.She stroked her stomach and was relieved to find that everything seemed fine. She was worried that what had happened last night would hurt the baby.Enduring her exhaustion, she got up and changed her clothes. She checked her reflection on the mirror and found that her neck was littered with marks. She was mildly stunned and a flush came over her face once more.After cleaning herself up, she dragged her worn out body downstairs.Breakfast was already laid out on the table. Both Kevin and Cherry were already seated.Anne lowered her gaze as she wordlessly took a seat.As they had breakfast, she accidentally glanced at Kevin. Seeing him so nonchalant made her feel angry for some reason.He had forced himself on her last night and now he was acting as if nothing had happened. Who wouldn't be upset?"Cherry, I heard that MH has already released their latest collection of jewelry. You can go and check it out later to see if there's anything you like,"Kevin said lightly as he looked at her affectionately."Okay, you can come with me. We haven't been spending time with each other lately."Cherry smiled in delight.As Anne focused on her meal in silence, she couldn't help but seethe.He had slept with her last night and now he was doting on another woman in front of her. What was Anne's role in his life? Was she just a toy he could play with?"Okay, I can cancel my work today. How about I spend the entire day with you?"Kevin suggested eagerly. A trace of tenderness was visible in his eyes, something that only appeared when he looked at Cherry."You're too kind, Kevin."Cherry was instantly thrilled at Kevin's sudden show of affection. It had been a long time since he treated her like this."As long as you're happy," Kevin said softly as he planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.Normally, Anne didn't mind when the two were being intimate in front of her. But for some reason, she couldn't stand it now.All of a sudden, she stood up and turned to leave, not wanting to see any of this anymore."Anne, since you're not doing much, why don't you come with us? Since your jewelry collection is quite lackluster, I can ask Kevin to buy you a set."Cherry suddenly stopped Anne from leaving. While her tone seemed casual, the inconspicuous ridicule in it was not lost on Anne.While she wasn't in the mood to respond to Cherry's provocation, the bitterness that churned inside her could not be helped.Everyone knew that Anne was Kevin's real wife. It was clear that Cherry was the shameful mistress here, yet she manipulated the narrative by making it seem as if Kevin would only give Anne a set of jewelry if she asked if from Kevin for Anne.A faint smile appeared on Kevin's face as he glanced at Anne. The look on his face was unfathomable.Anne turned back around, calming herself down. She wasn't going to show her weakness to Cherry."I don't need it. What's the use of wearing jewelry anyway? It's just an accessory."Her tone was chilly, laced with irony.Accessory—much like Cherry was.Cherry was a smart woman. She immediately understood what Anne meant as a wave of fury crashed through her.She clenched her fists, trying to suppress her anger. No matter how outraged she was, she couldn't show this to Kevin."If she doesn't want to go, she can just stay home and rest."Kevin didn't seem the least bit irritated. If anything, he even looked happy that Anne didn't want to go.Anne was obviously jealous of Cherry and it showed in her sarcastic remark.Anne turned around, not sparing a glance at either of them and headed upstairs. Kevin could tell that she was fuming.Anne couldn't help but wonder how Kevin really saw her. Was she just a piece of trash that he could easily discard after sleeping with her?"Kevin, Anne seems to really hate me. What do you think I should do? How can we make her understand us?"Cherry intentionally tried to incite empathy from Kevin, hoping that he would defend her from Anne."Ignore her. She's just a little hedgehog with thorns,"Kevin said dismissively without even looking at her. He was not so gentle and loving to her as he was before.Cherry didn't expect his answer. Wasn't he going to defend her?"But I don't like this feeling at all. I hate that my own cousin sees me as an enemy,"Cherry said woefully as she grabbed Kevin's arm.Kevin frowned slightly with displeasure, impatience flickering in his eyes."Well, don't put too much of your energy on her. Let's go."He didn't want to hear Cherry say something bad about Anne. After saying that, he stood up.She clenched her jaw at his fickleness. Despite his show of affection for her earlier, she still couldn't feel that he truly loved her.Before, if Anne had spoken to her like this, he would have stood up for her. But today, he didn't. Instead, he shrugged it off.She looked towards Anne's room, her eyes blazing with fury. Ever since Anne lived in this villa, Kevin's attitude towards her had grown colder. She couldn't help but be worried as a wave of uneasiness welled up in her chest.Anne really was a huge threat to her.She swallowed back her anger and put on an easy smile as she followed behind Kevin.Meanwhile, Kevin kept a straight face even though Cherry was by his side. He neither felt happy nor pleased as he used to be when Cherry was around.
