Chapter 14 - Chapter Thirteen

"He isn't saying anything?",matt asked his caller on the phone.

"Yes,I think he haven't find anything,he told me he is going to call me if he find it",mia huffed loudly.

"What if she didn't keep it inside the house?",matt asked .

"Ashley is a very smart woman ,no one can ever predict her",mia replied.

"And that is what I hate about her,you can never know what is in the head of hers",matt said frustratedly.

"Did Ashley ever know what you are thinking too,you made her like that",mia said and he went quiet in the phone.

"We will have to do some investigation on your wife,maybe we really didnt know her better",mia said.

"But you were her best friend,she inform you of everything going on in her life",matt said.

"And you were her husband,matt,you should know her better than I do",mia spat .

"Yes we were best of friends,but she changed , everything changed ,she stopped telling me everything about her at some point....."

"Did you think she knew?",matt asked .

"What?,"

"Maybe she found out about us,maybe Ashley knew of our affair",matt said.

"I don't think so",mia replied.

"Ashley is kind of an introvert,she rarely tells me what she is feeling....."

"You mean after you two got married,Ashley loves you so much that she tell you everything when you were dating but alas,you broke the trust"mia taunted.

"You mean us?we both betrayed her mia ,stop acting like you cared about her,you were always jealous of her,",matt smirked at the other end of the call.

"Watch your tongue matt,",mia shrieked angrily and Matt smirked.

The nerves of that lowlife bitch wanting to act like a saint!.

*****

"Thanks lawyer", Yvonne said before dropping the call.

She placed her phone on her desk,as she rub her forehead tiredly.

A harsh headache slammed her repeatedly making her to groan in pain.

She picked her bottle of pills from the table, gulping two down with water.

In a month time ,she will be divorcing Matt.

She can't continue like this anymore,she have to regain her mental health ,she have to stay strong for her daughter, katherine.

Her thoughts was that marrying matt will bring a stop to her aching heart,she thought he is like a savior to her but she is dead wrong.

The first step of her moving on with her life is to divorce matt and then she should see a therapist.

She just come to realize that she can never get over philip,not now not ever.

Her thoughts was that if she marry a caring man like matt,she can move on from philip's death but it was all wrong.

She thought he loved her and her daughter and she will also learn to love him also,maybe half of the love she has for philp,but it is just not working out.

Matt just add on to her pains and hurt,and she can't take it in anymore.

She don't even love him anyways.

She put her bottle of pills in her bag back before turning to the paperworks spread out in her front.

As she picked her pen from the table to continue to work,her gaze fall on the USB in her front.

She haven't even check what was there ,she picked it up before inserting it into her laptop to check its content.

She clicked on the file invisible and her jaw dropped.

She screamed and covered her mouth in horror at the sight in her front.

"How did Philip have this and how is her connected to this??"

Yvonne thought as her mouth quivered ,tears filling her eyes.

"Hey guys",fred said as he strolled to  table of katherine ,sergio and Avalon in the school cafeteria.

"Hi fred",Avalon replied smiling as she put food into sergio's mouth.

"Hey",sergio replied his mouth full of food.

Alfred turned to katherine when she didn't reply.

He grinned as he sit on the seat beside her,making her to tense a little.

"Hey princess",he greeted her lowering his head to see her face..

She shake her head furiously to stop the blush forming on her cheeks.

"Hi",she answered timidly making Alfred to grin.

"Why are you hiding your face,are you shy princess?",he taunted a smirk on his face.

Avalon and sergio are busy at the other side of table, doing their own stuff,not noticing those two.

Katherine hand grip tightly on her spoon.

What is with this guy and him wanting to annoy her?.

"Are you always this shy?",he said teasingly again.

Katherine dropped the spoon before swiping her head to his direction.

"Why can't you just leave me alone for goodness sake,", katherine blurted .

"Hey ,are you angry already?",he said pinching her cheeks.

"Stop it",kate Said swiping his hand away as she rolled her eyes.

"Ohhhhh,I know you can never be angry,I am too special than that,',fred said raising his imaginary collar.

Katherine eyed him weirdly.

"Keep dreaming Alfred Dylan stones,who told you you are special to me?", katherine said raising her brows.

"I just know, because I am your knight in shining armor",fred said smiling and then winked at her.

Katherine jaw dropped.

"What are you even saying....",she trailed .

"Or should I say we are the romeo and juliet of our time",fred grinned widely and her jaw literally dropped again.

This guy is a weirdo.

"Weirdo",kate said before lowering her gaze back to her food.

"What are you doing after break Kathy,since you are free for the geography class",sergio said suddenly and kate raised her gaze upward.

She groaned in  annoyance.

"I don't know,maybe another session of roaming round the school",she huffed and sergio laughed.

"You should join the class katherine, since you are still going to roam round the school, don't forget it is geography", Avalon said and Alfred burst into a fits if laughter as he come to understand what she said.

"You will make a good geographer",Alfred said and they all laughed.

"I hate you all",she growled .

The student move to their class as they heard the ring for break over.

"Don't worry princess ,I'm not offering geography too",Alfred said to her ears .

"Really?"she shrieked happily.

"Yes,I am going to make it more memorable...for us,"fredwinked and kate couldn't stop how she was lost in his eyes and how her heart was beating faster than normal.
