A CEO's Revenge Marriage Accidentally in Love

Chapter 52

Chapter 52

Mark

“Good morning! I’m sorry that my office is a bit messy. As I mentioned, I moved cities a week ago, and I haven’t unpacked everything yet,” Linda, my therapist, smiles at me from her seat. “How are you?”

I force a smile onto my lips. This is the

second time I’ve been to Linda’s office this

week. I’m unsure why I’m here. I have a

dinner planned with Winnie later, and I

should be thrilled, but I’m miserable since I know it’s my brother she actually wants.

Which is why I’m here, I guess. My heart is in pain, and there is no one I can tell about

life is…

I have teammates I talk with, but we aren’t

that close. My real best friends are Winnie

and Jake. Talking to them, however, would

just be incredibly awkward and embarrassing.

Therefore, I’m hoping Linda can make me feel less lonely. Though, I won’t jump the gun right away. I will small talk first, and

then I will highlight my problem and ask for

her advice.

“I’m pretty good. Won a big game yesterday, but I slept terribly,” I inform Linda and

grimace a little. “My back hurts. I flew into the plexiglass, and it hurts like a

motherfucker.”

“Ouch…” Linda grimaces.

She has a round, friendly face, and her skin

is kissed by the sun. The woman seems to

normally be pale but has a beach glow.

Either way, I can see why people like her as a

therapist. She looks friendly.

“Tell me about it… it really hurt.”

“Have you seen a doctor?”

“Yeah, I saw one after the game.”

“Good.”

“Though I suppose the injury isn’t the only

reason I’m not sleeping well…”

Linda picks up her notebook with a

thoughtful expression. But she speaks
