I didn't know how the fuck to react to such an embarrassing situation. I stood there, almost celebrating that I would finally make good on a deal, but I was definitely wrong. Derek was an alpha asshole who was never going to change.




However, there was still me, in this place, together with numerous guests, who were looking at me curiously, while my dress was untidy. At that, I let out a deep sigh and decided to leave the room.




I didn't understand why I felt so affected by Derek's actions, he was a playboy who was only good for fucking bitches. It was clear that this arrangement would not change him.




Thinking about it I shook my head and opened the door, however, before I walked out, I saw someone grab my hand and stop me. As soon as I looked back, my eyes widened in surprise at the figure that stood in front of me.




"Marcus?" I asked between my teeth.




"Katlyn...but what happened to you?" He asked as if he felt concern for me.




My heart almost stopped at his manly voice, but I quickly shook my head and released my hand from his grip in annoyance.




"What are you doing here Marcus? " I asked, confused.


He looks at me with an embarrassed expression as he frowns. He didn't even seem to remember what the hell he had done, which made me feel angrier.




The reality is that Marcus Tiger was my ex-boyfriend. We were together for over 4 years, but, one day I just found him in bed with my best friend. I decided to cut him out of my life completely, but apparently he has the guts to stand up to me.




"Katlyn, can I talk to you for a moment?" He said softly.




I couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh when I heard that" I'm sorry, I don't have time for bullshit. So I'll leave" I said.




However, before I turned around he spoke again "Please, I want to talk to you... I've been looking for you for years..." He added.




I stopped dead in my tracks as those words echoed in my ear "Marcus, you and I broke up a long time ago. I don't think there's anything we should talk about, so please..." I hinted at looking away.


But at that moment he reached out his hand and grabbed my waist, pulling me to his chest. I struggled to break free but he held me tightly.




"No, Katlyn, I won't let you go unless you listen to me" He said with determination.




"Fuck, let me go. Let me go, I don't want to talk to you, you're wasting your time" I insinuated gritting my teeth.




I didn't want to make a fuss in the meeting, so I just tried to escape from his grip silently. But it was in vain, Marcus was a strong boy and his grip tightened on my waist.




"Let me go..." I hinted once more.




But before I could continue speaking, suddenly an arrogant and pretentious voice was heard in the distance. In that instant my world stopped in front of me. My skin crawled as my eyes turned to that huge male figure.




"Let go now my dear wife!" exclaimed Derek, clenching his fists.


Marcus couldn't react, as Derek grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him, pulling me away from Marcus, who refused to let go of my other hand.




"But what is this? Who the hell is that man?" Marcus asked me with a confused expression.




Apparently Marcus was an idiot who couldn't even recognize the alpha Derek. Although how can I blame him, he only had eyes for fucking my friends.




"Katlyn, can you explain to me why you're with that asshole?" Derek asked.




Both of them made my head want to explode with pain. How could I answer both questions, when they kept feeling like an answer at the same time? I felt my arm being pulled in different directions, as a growl escaped my lips.


"I want you to let go now!" I shouted so loudly that both men opened their eyes in surprise.




I felt their grip loosen and my arms finally came free. "Fuck, what the fuck is wrong with you guys?" I hinted massaging my arms. They had both grabbed me so hard that they left their marks on my white skin.




However, Derek's voice sounded furious "Bastard, you just made a big mistake by touching my wife!" He said about to deliver a heavy blow to Marcus, who didn't seem to be afraid at all.




But, before anything happened, I quickly intervened. After all, knowing Derek, he wouldn't hesitate to rip Marcus' head off.




"Stop it now! You guys are being idiots!" I shouted as I closed my eyes.




A shaky breath escaped my lips as I realized how much trouble I was in.








I never expected my husband and my ex-boyfriend to meet, let alone in this awkward way. It was definitely not a scene I dreamed of.




I massaged my temples as a scream echoed in my ears.




"Katlyn? Who is that man? Why is he calling you his wife?" Marcus asked, still confused.




I took a deep breath as I frowned. I wanted to answer, but Derek stepped forward.




"Idiot, she's my wife! We're married, so you better get out of here right now!" Derek hinted, making Marcus look surprised.




"God, I don't have time for bullshit!" I shouted, waving my hands in the air.
