Chapter 70

SEBASTIAN

“I’ve called you a thousand times. I went to your penthouse, but you weren’t there. And your secretary didn’t tell me anything. Where have you been?” Catherine said as she slowly walked down the stairs the moment I walked through the door.

I almost forgot when was the last time I stepped foot in this house. I looked at Catherine’s face, and I couldn’t feel anything but disgust. I loathed her. I wanted to blame her for everything, but I couldn’t because I know deep in my heart I’m part of the blame for everything that happened to me. I’m miserable not because of Catherine. I allow myself to be manipulated so easily. I believe in every word she said, and I can’t blame anyone but myself. I’m miserable, and I deserve it.

It took me time to realize how stupid I was. I let my guilt cloud my judgment. Back then, I really thought I still loved Catherine. I made the right choice when I chose to be with her and leave Blaire. But it only took me a year into marriage with Catherine before I realized that I made the biggest mistake of my life when I chose to let go of Blaire.

I don’t love Catherine anymore. I felt the need to be with her because I thought that was the right thing to do. But the truth was, I was just feeling guilty about not being with Catherine when she was fighting for her life. I confused guilt with love.

“Are you ready to sign the divorce papers?” I asked her, not paying attention to all her nagging questions.

She blew a loud breath. “How many times do I have to tell you that I’m not going to sign those papers? I’ll be your wife until I die.” she answered.

“Then, I hope you die now,” I said coldly before heading towards my office. I have important documents that I need to get from the office, so I was forced to come here despite my eagerness to avoid this place as much as possible.

As usual, she didn’t let go of this topic. She followed me up to my office. “Where have you been, Sebastian?” she asked once again.

I had a feeling that she already knew what’s going on. She just wanted to hear the confirmation from me. “Somewhere I should have been a long time ago,” I answered her without much context. She’s smart. She’ll figure it out.
