Chapter 34

Mark's POV
I couldn't get over Betty asking me every five seconds if I was sure that I was alright. If only she knew how much of an incredible night I had. I was supposed to feel guilty but I didn't even feel that a tiny bit
"Honey, why don't you have a shower first then we meet down for breakfast?" I state
"I will. I just need to talk to Luke first," it would so much fun to smirk at the stupid idiot right on his fucking face
"Ok, sure. Just make sure you bathe too," she placed a peck on my forehead
After she was gone I walked downstairs hoping I would find Mark but I stopped short on hearing Kylie's voice. Pushing my back against the wall I listened
"I know I should have talked to you about it long ago. It was just four years ago when I got married in Seychelles. He was the most loving person or at least I thought he was until I found out he was cheating on me. I was so angry at him so I asked for a divorce after one month of marriage. For a long time I have battled with my love for him trying to move on but then I met you and I was happy to realize actually there still a few good men left in this world. I know it's been four years but Luke I would be lying to you if I said I was completely over him. You asked me why I have been avoiding you lately. It's because I met him again and he is going to be in town for a while. When we divorced he promised that he would take me back if he ever met me again within five years of the divorce. Luke, he is threatening to take me back despite him having a fiancée already," a smirk enveloped the corner of my lips as I waited to hear Luke's reply
Luke was quiet for some time before sighing loudly
"Say something Luke," the desperation in her voice was hard not to notice
"What do you want me to say Kylie? You just told me you are still in love with your ex-husband. I can't believe I was a fool to think you are over him. Was any of this even real or were you just using me to pass time until you met him again?" I felt a tiny bit of guilt on hearing the pain in Luke's voice
"Everything was real. I love you Luke that's why I wanted this holiday to be about us. I thought maybe if I put all my effort into loving you then it was going to be fine," she tried but I could tell she had made it even worse
"Wow! Kylie. So you didn't love me, you were only putting effort in our relationship. Unbelievable! All this time I was the only one deep in this love," Luke chuckled. Judging from the shuffling of feet I knew one of them, probably Luke was standing up
"Luke just listen to me please!
"And why should I? Kylie I let my world revolve around you. Heck I gave you my heart but you just led me on all for nothing," he was mad and well those were more points in my scoreboard.
"Luke I'm really so-
"Don't say it," his footsteps were inching closer from where I was hiding
I braced myself before stepping out just in time to avoid clashing shoulders with Luke
"Hey man," he just grunted walking past me. Definitely the reaction I was looking for
I walked over to the coffee maker and prepared a cup of black coffee for myself. Leaning on the counter I smirked mentally patting my back. Kylie is mine and will always be mine. Too bad those who try to get in the middle end up severely hurt. Picking my now ready cup of coffee I walked into the living room, walking to sit beside Kylie.
"Is your fiancée okay?" I inquired innocently
She ignored my inquiry as I casually crossed my right leg over my left one leaning back in my cushy seat. I sipped my coffee quietly just as I caught a glimpse of Luke coming downstairs. Bracing myself for the final blow I leaned closer
"Shut up Mark!" she snapped
"Does he know you have been fucking your ex?" she poised me with a glare
""You've been what?" she turned to a furious Luke standing at the far bottom of the stairs just beside the dining table
"Luke…" she trailed
"And here I thought I was the luckiest man to have gotten you," he muttered leaving the room, hurrying upstairs
She was probably going to talk to him but I knew it was futile. The damage done was far too deep to be redeemed. I wasn't that proud of my move but I gotta have what I want. A few minutes later my prediction came true as Luke came downstairs rolling a very heavy suitcase with him.
"Luke you can't go like this. You are angry and it's not good for driving," she pleaded
"Oh, honey I'm just as happy as you are right now. Finally we have gotten rid of the golden chef. It's a pity he makes the best bacon though," she clicked her tongue walking upstairs
"You must be happy now," she stood up gazing down at me
"You have no idea of what is good for me Kylie so stop pretending that you do otherwise you wouldn't be sleeping with your ex. I can't believe I left Natalie for someone like you," he muttered
"You said you had broken up with her way before you met me," Kylie stated taken aback
I watching the little exchange amused while finishing up my coffee.
"Well I lied Kylie. That was how much I loved you but as it turns out you didn't love me like I thought you did," he began rolling the suitcase out of the room when he stopped turning to me
"How well do you know her ex-husband Mark?" he queried as I pretended to shift uncomfortably on my seat
"I don't know him," I shrugged
"You knew Kylie was sleeping with him. So how well do you know her ex-husband? At least you owe me that one, "he deadpanned
."You knew Kylie was sleeping with him. So how well do you know her ex-husband? At least you owe me that one, "he deadpanned
"I know him quiet well,
"I need you to tell me who he is, right now," he demanded.
