She arrived in front of to Kelsie's house to visit her. She didn't bring any food since Kelsie loves to cook for them. She just needed to bring herself to her. She rang the doorbell and it opened. She went inside and found an adorable Saint Bernard Puppy.

"Wow!

"

"Nate took it from the pet store for free.

"

"Yes, you need a pet. You've been lonely alone in this big house.

" Tina patted the fat puppy.

"Let's go to the kitchen.

" Kelsie gave the puppy to her and she followed her into the kitchen. Kelsie washed her hand and arm and dried it before she started to cook.

"You look thin,

" Kelsie noted.

"Kale won't like it.

"

"Well, the last contact I have with him is two weeks ago.

" Tina looked sleepless with dark circles under her eyes.

Kelsie creased her brows.

"I don't contact Kale that much. I'll ask Nate. He mentioned that Kale might not be able to contact for days.

"

"Why?

" She asked as she patted the dog.

"It's a family business.

" Kelsie shrugged.

"It's better that I know less. Besides, there's been a big problem with their company recently.

"

Tina nodded.

"Stay here, I need to see you eat,

" Kelsie said. Tina nodded and she put down the dog and checked her phone again. She's worried. Kale did everything to contact her for the last few days. What if something bad happened to him? She needed to know what to do at all.

"I'm eating.

" She told her.

"But stress makes you look so thin.

"

"I'm just worried at Kale,

" Tina said.

"I know that Dad and he aren't on good terms but I love him.

"

Kelsie stopped from taking out the ingredients and she turned to her.

"Did you tell him that?

" Kelsie asked. She shrugged her shoulders.

"I told him that I can't live without him. I told him that I want to be with him always… isn't it love?

" She asked.

"I can't tell him. I don't want to be rejected with those three words.

"But you literally say that you love him when you said that you can't live without him. But that's a little too much.

" Kelsie said.

"No, that's too much, Tina.

" Kelsie continues taking out the ingredients.

"What do you want to eat?

"

"Some pasta, creamy one.

" She shrugged. She reached the pendant that Kale gave to her. It's a Dragon Emblem and from the back, it is Kale's initial and his birthday.

"So, when Nate is away, did he always call you?

"

"He texts and chats with me and we do a v-call,

" Kelsie said.

"But since he's going on a few business trips, he didn't let me be alone in the house, so he'll take me with him.

"

"Yeah, I can see that. Nate is overprotective.

"

Tina wonders too if Kale is the same. But he's possessive and he hugged her a lot. She sighed. She missed him dearly. The sex, kisses, and everything is all she missed. His touch, his voice… she missed all of him.

Kelsie even gave her freshly baked cookies and cupcakes and she took it back to her house. She takes a warm bath, put Kale's shirt on and the stolen boxer shorts on. She went to bed and pulled the pillow with Kale's face and body. He sent it to her with love. She's almost laughing from what he sent but she's satisfied with this one.

She took her phone and checked if Kale sent a message. But someone sent her a friend request with two mutual friends. Kale and Nate. She accepted it and she sat up and scrolled through it. She stared at the username cathycat. She bit her lip. She had social media but she didn't post her face on it. But just recently she posts something with Kale and her. Her face is shoved to Kale's neck while they are in the bed.

Her heart instantly broke when there were photos of Kale on her social media. She scrolled more of Kale's recent photo with her and it was posted two weeks ago. She scrolled more as she tried to swallow the lump on her throat.

There are intimate photos with each other. Cathy pillowing on Kale's chest. It's three months ago. Then, she kissed his cheek. Then, he's also there laughing beautifully and with photos of other girls and boys. She sniffled as she scrolled more. She just posted something. A ring and her, hugging Kale kissing his chin. She looked so happy in the photo.

Tina's hand started shaking as she read the caption.

All is well with you. Missed you, my man. But now you are here.

Her tears kept falling as she cried silently and stared at Kale's happy face in the photo. She turned off her phone as she gently opened the drawer and put it there. She looked down at Kale's pillow. She hugged it. It's the only thing she had. Although she won't have the real Kale, at least there's the pillow. But it breaks her heart. She reached the necklace. He will come back, but to take the necklace from her and not her.

She sniffled and she shoved her face on the pillow as she started crying hard. Now she understands why Kale won't contact her. He's planning on proposing to Cathy. And what is she to him? She's just the substitute while he's here away from Cathy. It's all a lie. She knew it. It's his revenge to hurt her to get to her father. Well, it's all her family's fault and she is one of them. She can take all of the pain as long as Kale would be satisfied and they will have no debts from him. She will let him win.

She wiped her tears and stared at the mirror in front of her.

Camila checked her tummy from the mirror. Freya agreed that she can go back to her penthouse since everything is clear. But they told her that she needed to tap her smartwatch in case of an emergency. So, everything is settled. She sighed and went to bed wearing Rhys's shirt and snuggled to the pillows.

She closed her eyes to sleep, but her tummy growled. She opened her eyes and sat up. She just ate dinner a while ago and she didn't eat a lot. She became picky in the foods. She even had to take three days of sick leave after she got discharged from the hospital that Rhys's parents pay for. She's indebted to them so much.

She went to the kitchen and rummaged through the fridge. She also let a maid and butler clean up the whole place and put groceries on the fridge and stocks on the cabinet. What could she ask for? She doesn't need to buy food outside because everything is there. She took the fresh patty beef and fried it to make her burger.

She's busy making her food when her phone starts ringing as it echoes in the hallway. She left the kitchen and went to the bedroom where she left it. She answered it as she went back to the kitchen.

"Yes?

"

"You take three days sick leave?

" Amelia asked.

"Yes. I feel sick.

"

"Hmm, why are you sick? Do you want me to come over?

"

"No. I'm completely fine now. You don't need to worry.

"

"You already missed two days. I already missed you and Gerald kept asking about you.

"

She creased her brows. She didn't want to hear any world about that bastard. When they went to the bar, he's almost shoving his face into her breasts. She slapped that man even though he's drunk and it's a good thing that her driver came.

"I don't want to see that man. I'm going to **ing strangle him.

"

"Wow, bad blood towards him, huh?

"

"Yeah.

"

She flipped the beef.

"I'll be back in two days. Don't worry.

"

"Sure. And there's a big commotion in the office.

"

"What commotion?

" He asked.

"The ex-assistant filed a harassment complaint against Gerald!

"

She laughed.

"That's good.

"

"I'll talk to you when you get back. I have to check on my kids.

"

"Yeah, sure.

" She hung up and flipped the beef and she ready a slice of cheese, ketchup, and mayonnaise. She put pickles on it too.

Once she set the burger, she washed her hands and took a bite of it. She hummed and took the bottle of soda as she went to the living room. She stopped when Rhys was there with a big smile and a bag.

"Hey!

" he approached her and kissed her lips. She pushed him away and he looked at the burger. What in hell? Is this real?

"Did you make that?

" He took it and took a bite. She smacked his head and took it back from him.

"Ow!

" He winced at her and yet he chewed it. She frowned and checked the portion that has been taken. She put the plate on and soda on the coffee table and she reached the cushion and she started smacking him.

"Ow! Hey! Calm down!

"

He ran behind the single sofa.

"You just bite on my burger.

" She gritted at him.
