69 - A reality check

Katlyn looked like a caged animal inside the mansion she shared with her fugitive husband, it had been hours since the detective had told her that Sebastian had entered an apartment that was clearly not one of the ones he had in his name.
It was getting early in the morning when her phone rang, the blonde didn't wait a second to answer it.
-Tell me you have news- she sentenced almost as a threat, feeling a bead of sweat trickle down from her forehead.
She listened to the man's throat clearing before telling him what she had found out.
-I was checking to see whose name the apartment was in..." he paused for what Katlyn thought was an eternity, "Helena Deluna, does that ring a bell?" Katlyn didn't answer, remaining completely speechless, "Hello, can you hear me?
-Yes... - She barely managed to say.
-From what I could find out about the woman, she was her husband's secretary for a few months.
"Oh yes, of course I know."
The blonde tightened her grip on the device resting on her ear, she would snap it at any moment if she didn't release the pent up anger.
-How much do I owe you?" she could barely say, holding back her urge to scream.
-Eh..." the man began to say, uncomfortably, he hated this part of his job.
"More? What more than the fact that he was unfaithful to me with that damned bitch?!
-Say it already.
-The woman is pregnant, according to her medical records she's seven months along.
The cell phone slipped from his hand, falling hard to the floor.
-Hello? Miss Aller, are you all right? - the man could be heard speaking in the distance.
But katlyn was no longer listening, she was in shock, frozen in place, she had lost the color of her lightly tanned face and her eyes had gone crystal clear like those of a porcelain doll.
She touched her 3-month-old belly and felt panic sweep over her.
-No..." she exclaimed, "No... no... no...".
-What's wrong? -Is she all right?
She grabbed the phone again
-Tell me you know the sex of that freak," she muttered with contempt, feeling her whole body tremble and she would empty her stomach in the living room.
-In fact, yes... it's a girl.
The blonde lost her balance, her legs had gone slack, falling onto the couch roughly.
A smile broke out on her face, and even though she was crying at the betrayal, the laughter was louder and impossible to contain.
The man on the other side of the phone did not understand what was happening, imagining that the woman had completely lost her mind, it was normal for people who discovered that their partner was unfaithful and even more so if she had impregnated her lover, which was a very common occurrence.
-I'd better call her another day for the fee," he exclaimed, wanting to end the call as soon as possible.
-Send me the bill," he exclaimed with a chuckle.
Katlyn carelessly threw the phone down and kept laughing as her tears kept falling, for a moment she had really believed that damn redhead had beaten her, but no. She hadn't even been able to sire a male! She was lost.
She stopped laughing little by little, giving way to rage, at that very moment, her husband was between that woman's legs, she wasn't going to allow it, something had to be done.
The hours of the night had passed, and little by little the sun slipped through the cracks of Helena's room, a strip of light bothered the closed eyes of the CEO, who slowly woke up between moans, he wanted to continue sleeping, but could not help but open his eyes, finding something that for a moment he thought would happen only in his dreams .
Next to him, turning her back to him, was the naked body of her lover, with reddish hair resolved all over the pillow, her whitish back spotted with freckles like a galaxy curving into a narrow waist, and the sheets delicately covering her hips.
The young heir smiled devotedly, he had wished so many times to wake up with his secretary and now it had come true, careful not to wake her he took the sheet and covered her completely, then kissed the back of her neck lovingly, hearing a low moan from Helena, and got out of bed. He wanted to treat her, make her breakfast and take it to bed.
He took his clothes and put them on trying not to make a fuss, when his phone rang, he quickly picked it up and answered it, so Helena wouldn't wake up, to his luck, she just turned over her body.
-Hello?" she whispered without even seeing who it was, instantly regretting it when she heard Katlyn's shrill voice that was like a hammer blow to her skull in the morning.
-My love," cried the blonde as if she were dying.
-What's wrong?" asked the CEO with a frown. He heard that on the other end of the phone his wife was crying inconsolably.
He checked to make sure Helena was still asleep and left the room, closing the door behind him.
-What happened? Why are you crying?
-I need you to come now! Please! - she begged in tears.
-But tell me what's wrong, honey," she exclaimed, biting her lip.
Katlyn had cut the phone off, and although Sebastian tried to call her again and again, the blonde did not answer his calls.
He stopped thinking about Helena for a moment and worried about his wife, figuring she was in danger or dying in the middle of his living room, he wasn't going to take the blame for not having done anything if something was happening to her. He grabbed her purse and her keys.
She wanted to scream out of frustration when she got that reality check.
"This is not your life, even if you want it to be, you still have unfinished business with Katlyn."
He slowly entered the room where only a few hours ago he had made Helena his and watched as the redhead breathed peacefully with a smile plastered on her face- The CEO approached her carefully, brushed the red locks from her forehead and kissed her lovingly.
-I'll be back, I promise..." he murmured, wishing she would sleep on until she was back in his arms.
