Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

"What? What are you saying?"Catherine's disbelief was palpable, her fabricated tears still lingering.

"I'm saying we're done,"Andrew declared, taking a final drag of his cigarette before extinguishing it in the ashtray. His entire manner radiated frustration.

"Why? Why all of a sudden?"She was utterly confused, clutching at his hand. "No, I can't accept this."

"You don't have a say in this!"Andrew pulled his hand away with

impatience."Catherine, you've been expelled from Bellbanks University. You're just a high school graduate now. My family, the Kings, can't accept someone like that

as a daughter-in-law. What do you have that compares to Renee? Your actions have further embarrassed me in front of Marcelo and Renee!"

Andrew looked at Catherine as though he had been misled into choosing a flawed product.

Renee, a distinguished alumna of Bellbanks University, had been a top student with an array of honors. Just her intelligence and beauty alone made her far superior to Catherine.

How had he allowed someone like Marcelo, who has a disability, to win over her?

Gary and Felicia had also insisted he end things with Catherine as soon as her problems began. They would never accept her as a daughter-in-law.

"Andrew, you can't be this cruel. You were the one who left Renee for me!"Catherine was struggling to accept the situation.

Andrew had the audacity to compare her unfavorably to Renee?

She huffed, "Yes! I might have been expelled, but what about you? You purchased your degree. You've been involved in all sorts of fraud. You are also nothing compared to..."

Triggered, Andrew didn't let her finish. He grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the car window. "Say that again, bitch?"

Only when Catherine met Andrew's angry eyes did she come back to her senses, realizing that she had talked too freely. She should be begging him.

She had endured so much to keep him. Even endured him calling her Renee a lot of times.

She couldn't lose him now.

"S-sorry, I didn't mean it, Drew!" Scared and anxious, Catherine tried to salvage the situation by leaning forward and pressing her lips against his.

She hoped that doing so would disarm him.

"Get the fuck out of my car!" But to her dismay, Andrew shoved her off of him and roared, "You and I are done, you hear me? Done!"
