Divorce Anxiety

Kathleen hesitated for a moment. In the end, however, she still took the packet of documents in his hand.

Samuel stared at her gorgeous face and said in his baritone voice, “What’s the matter?”

“I’m starting to think that you’re the reason we can’t find anything,” she said in a small voice.

Samuel merely looked at her impassively and uttered, “I have better things to do.”

“That might not be true.” Kathleen pursed her red lips. “You got your hands on this information ahead of us, and then you wipe out the evidence trail so that we won’t be able to find out anything so that you may take the credit for finding out about these in front of me.”

Samuel let out a chuckle.

“What are you laughing at?” Kathleen demanded as she shot a glare at the man.

“I’m laughing at the absurd thoughts going on inside your little head,” Samuel said as he held her gaze. “I’m not as complicated as you think.”

Kathleen let out a snicker.

Samuel’s bony fingers pinched Kathleen’s chiseled chin and said, “Kate, if I were to force myself on you, would you be able to resist me?”

The woman was stumped.

He brushed his hands on her chin and continued, “What can your brother do even if I do force myself on you? After all, you will surrender yourself to me, if that is the price you have to pay for me to not hurt your brother. Isn’t that so?”

“Samuel, you’re too full of yourself.” Kathleen was fuming. “Do you take me for someone whom you can just trample all over?”

Samuel’s lips curled into a slight smile, looking gorgeous as always. “I know one thing that is beyond my control—your life. If you’re truly desperate and have no way out, I reckon that you’re going to threaten me with your life again.”

Kathleen kept quiet.

“Kate, I won’t push you to that extent anymore. Hence, I will not stoop so low and resort to such a mundane tactic.” Samuel let her go and said, “I acknowledge that I’ve done you wrong in the past. Hence, I will do better from now on. I will give you anything you want. Your wish will be my command.”

Kathleen’s delicate features stiffened.

“Go on, you’d better get some rest earlier,” Samuel said as he lowered his hand.

Kathleen did not hesitate and pushed the car door open.

The man let out a sigh in response.

Have I frightened her?

Kathleen ran back into the mansion and shut the door behind her. She leaned against the door and panted.
