Derek kept grabbing my hand and what kept my heart pumping inside my chest. He's distracting me.

"Why don't you provide shelter for them, Derek?" I asked him directly.

Which caused Derek to stop wandering to face me.

"I tried to convince them, Derek, but they want to stay here.” He replied, and I nodded my head in response.

We talked as we continued to move forward until we reached the car.

Something caught my eye and I couldn't believe there was a woman walking towards us.

I removed my grip on Derek as I could feel disappointment inside me. His various concubines kept following him wherever he went. They are so obsessed with my husband and I have no right to stop him.

"Remember Katlyn, we are only married in the papers" I kept telling myself.

"Derek, honey!" The girl screamed at the top of her lungs in her squeaky voice and ran to him. 

She hugged Derek without considering that someone might see them. I took a deep breath. The sigh escaped my mouth as I watched her basically rub against him.

I had hoped Derek would have the decency to push her away, but I was wrong. He wrapped his hand around her waist and pressed her closer to him.

It hurt.

It hurt every second I witnessed that...the feeling pounded my heart at the sight of them. I can't even understand why I felt this. What was happening?

"Go home alone, Katlyn. I want to spend the whole day with this beauty.” He said as he smiled at me. I didn't speak, I didn't make any gestures and I watched as he left me there like it was nothing.

"Do you need to go home, Miss Katlyn? My deep thoughts stopped as I heard Derek's beta, speak. He helped me into the car, and we left the place behind.

My attention was outside the window, trying to amuse myself by watching the view from outside. And again, what the prognosticator told me keeps disturbing my head. I keep thinking about what she told me earlier.

I needed to ask her for some clarification of what she wanted to tell me. Dere was making me very nervous and my mind was in chaos. Damn it, I don't want something bad to hit my heart now.

I wasn't like this when we first met. I didn't even care if he brought a lot of concubines or if he slept with them, but now it's very different. Besides, I felt pain to see him spending his time with his mistresses.

"Are you okay, Miss Katlyn?" Shawn asked me, first I took a deep breath before I could answer him.

"I'm fine, Shawn. Don't worry about me". 

He just nodded his head.

As we continued on our way back to Derek's house. Within a couple of minutes, we arrived at the location and I got out of the car. My eyebrows furrowed as I noticed an unrecognized car in front of Derek's house.

"Are we expecting a visitor today, Shawn?" I asked him as my gaze remained on the car.

Well, it's one of Derek's concubines. That won't scare me. So I kept walking inside the house and my eyes widened when I found out who our visitor would be.

"Katherine?" I asked when I saw my twin sister lying on the couch. She stood up from relaxing and turned her head towards me. What surprised me was that her eyes were watery.

"Katlyn". She mumbled my name and ran to me. Katherine hugged me and I rubbed her back as she began to cry into my chest.

"Tell me, why are you crying?" I asked worriedly. Seeing Katherine broke my heart. 

When she is hurt, I can feel the pain too. After all, we are twin sisters and what she suffers I feel.

“I broke up with my boyfriend, Katlyn.” She said and what made me raise my eyebrows in curiosity.

"What's the reason? Please tell me" I mumbled, and she let go of me, so we sat on the couch, so we could talk about her problems.

It's quite strange that I noticed something different with Katherine. Her eyes are restless and she seems to be looking for someone.

“I didn't want him anymore, sis.” She responded without hesitation. I was surprised by her answer - did she break up with her boyfriend because she didn't care about him anymore?

“Why didn't you love him anymore, Katherine?” I asked toward her.

Katherine took a deep breath before answering me.

"I love someone". The way Katherine uttered that, she looked me straight in the eye and made me clench my hand.

Damn it.

Why is that, did I feel something strange with Katherine? Her eyes were telling me something, but I couldn't figure out what it was.

"Did you break up with your boyfriend because you love someone? Is it someone who loves you too?" I asked her and she smiled at me.

"Not yet, but I can work with that, sis". She answered me while smiling. My heart pumped because I feel something strange towards her smile.

I don't really know how to react.

"Katherine, I don't know what to tell you". When I said that, Katherine laughed as if my words were so funny.

"Don't worry about it. So, come on, we'll go to the bar and hang out, you know... have some twin time.” She said as she stood up on the couch. Katherine reached out her hand to me, and I couldn't turn her down.

"Derek would be mad if I left him out, Katherine". I said.

But she laughed and told me to get in the car.

"Don't worry about your husband. I wanted to spend time with you, Katlyn. You know, we didn't celebrate together for many years". She said, and started the engine of the car.

I just took a deep breath and prayed that Derek wouldn't get mad again for going out without him.
