Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 559

Those words were just her dad's way of digging for proof-trying to figure out where she really stood with Walter.

Kaitlyn could feel her irritation rising. "No, I didn't get an invite. But I heard Jackson's talking about divorce. He never wanted this marriage anyway. Now that our company's doing well, we don't need to hold onto him anymore."

There was a pause. On the other end, her dad sounded like he was barely holding back his frustration. "Do you even realize how many women dream of marrying into the Dawson family? You finally secured your spot, and you don't know how to appreciate it? We're about to start our second round of funding. If you mess things up with the Dawsons now, everything I've worked for goes up in smoke."

"Dad, don't be so greedy. When you pushed me into this marriage, you never said Jackson already had a girlfriend."

She'd been forced to break up a couple in love, shoved herself into the middle, and made herself the villain. No wonder Jackson hated her.

She'd kept her head down for years, doing everything she could to avoid setting him off. At least that way, maybe things could end peacefully.

When Jackson came back to the country, her family made her go to some fancy party. Of course, Jackson hated the idea of an arranged marriage so much, he didn't even bother showing up.

She hated those events anyway. After a quick appearance to keep the family happy, she slipped out to find a drink.

That night, her mind was a mess. She kept turning over what she'd say to Jackson, how to ask for a divorce, how to finally get her freedom.

Honestly, the whole thing was her fault from the start.
