Chapter 30 Chapter 30 -Laila : The chilly night air brushes against my cheeks as I step out of Cascade . 5། ) # 55 vouchers It does nothing to quell the anger burning through my veins . It doesn't wash away the feeling of disgust either . All it had taken was a few minutes . I'd only gone back in to grab my coat . And Kael is already ramming his dick into another woman . It's me he desires ? He doesn't want anyone else ? I scoff beneath my breath , the absurdity of it finally dawning . It's never been about me at all . It's always been about taking what once belonged to Cameron . And the moment he had a taste , he's gone right back to being the Kael Blackwood I know . A cold , ruthless man . My heart doesn't even ache and the regrets I initially felt have all but disappeared . Now , I just feel numb . " Laila ! " Blake calls , jogging over to me from the back entrance . I turn to him , my stare frosty . His eyes are guilty and he winces visibly at the chill in my eyes . " It's my fault ... " Blake explains quickly , " You left . And I thought ... I thought it was okay to let her in . " I cut him off . " She would only go there if Kael called her . " " How is it your fault that he can't keep it in his pants for two minutes ? " My voice is cold and emotionless . " Look , the drugs ... " Blake tries again but I shake my head . I'm done hearing about him being drugged and helpless . He was sober enough to make a fool out of me . " Save it . He's not my problem anymore ." I don't wait to hear anything else . Pulling open the car door , I get in . " Take me home , please . " I say to Greg . He quietly backs the car into the road . I lean against the window . The glass is cold , but not nearly as cold as my heart feels . The image of Kael balls deep in her , and her delighted moans keep surfacing in my mind no matter how much I shake it off . I can't even be mad at him . I'd been the one to tell him to bring in another woman . I just didn't think he actually would , just a few minutes after I left . 14:19 Sat , Oct 11 Chapter 30 51 65 vouchers Our marriage is a sham . He owes me no loyalties . Even Cameron who did owe me loyalties had no qualms making love to another woman for three years , in our home , outside our home ... and he was the good brother . Kael ... the actual black sheep of the Blackwoods , I should have known to expect the worse . There's no way a man like Kael with a roaster of women fawning over him both in Ridgeway and here in Thorneville , He wouldn't actually withhold his urges because of me . It was foolish of me to even entertain the thought that he had . " Prim and proper ... " I murmur , " He's right . I don't suit his tastes ... I never will . " " From now on , I'll stick to just being his dutiful wife . It's just for a month longer , after all ." The sun rays streak in through the window blinds , rousing me from a fitful sleep . The events from last night surfaced in my mind almost instantly . Kael didn't return home . And I didn't expect him to . If he comes in this morning or not also doesn't matter . He's probably still in bed with her . My heart aches slightly at the thought . But not for me , for Liam . He always sulks when Kael doesn't make it in time for breakfast , especially after he missed dinner last night . I exhale slowly , once again questioning if I'd made the right decision letting Liam believe Kael is his father . I did what I had to do to keep my son . Kael would have outed my pregnancy to the Blackwoods otherwise and a divorced woman won't be allowed to raise a Blackwood child . The thought of Sarah raising my son was far too painful to bear , I'd signed Kael's contract without thinking twice . But now , the end of our contract is getting closer ... What am I going to do about Liam? I shake off the depressing thoughts , getting off my bed . I freshen up quickly before heading out of my room to check in on Liam . He's still sound asleep . He had a tiring day being out with Grandfather Blackwood , but it's a good thing he doesn't have to go to the kindergarten today . " Good morning , Mrs Blackwood . " Marie is already by the kitchen island making coffee . I inhale deeply , the scent of freshly made coffee always brightens my day . " Laila . " I correct , " If I have to say it a hundred more times , I might as well paste a notice on the walls . " 14:10 Sat , Oct 11 Chapter 30 Marie giggles quietly , shooting me an apologetic look over her shoulders . " No sweeteners . Just the way you like it . " She says , placing a mug of coffee down on my table . 155 vouchers 65 I raise a brow . I'm not sure how Marie knows my preferences . We've only been here a few days and I've been up early enough to make my own coffee each time , I slept in longer today ... for obvious reasons . " How did you figure ? " I ask , warming my hands with the heat radiating from the steaming mug . " Oh , Mr Blackwood told me . " She replies without glancing over . Mr Blackwood ... as in Kael ? " Kael's ... home ? " I ask her uncertainly . I didn't hear him come in before drifting off . " Yes . " Marie confirmed , " He came in a little after dawn ." To think he did come back last night . I'm not sure what to do with that information , but it doesn't really change anything . " Will you have breakfast together ? " She asks , still busily cutting up fruits for a fruit bowl . It's then I notice Kael . He's standing by the door , running a hand through his already messy hair . I didn't hear him coming . I must have been too lost in my thoughts to notice him . The anger from last night is gone . All that's left is disgust . " No. " I reply curtly , " Just Liam . " I don't say anything to him . I just brush past , heading up to my room . 田 AD Comment Send gift
