Chapter Eighteen

Kat

I haven’t had this much fun in… forever. It seems I’ve lived a pretty fucking boring life, and it’s taken Nate dragging me from what I knew to make me see that he was right. I wasn’t living. I was merely existing, thinking that everything was perfect and that I was happy. But actually, I was far from it.

I have experienced more emotions than ever before since being with Nate, and the hate that I tried to hold onto for so long is slowly seeping away, being replaced by something else. Something I’m not ready to admit yet.

I wash my hands in the sink and turn to face the drier, holding my hands underneath and letting the water droplets run from my fingertips.

My feet are starting to ache from the dancing, but I am nowhere near done yet. If I am being given this night as a ‘freebie’ of sorts, then I am damn well going to see it through to the end.

Zoey is amazing, like a friend I have never had. Meeting her has been like a breath of fresh air, and although she is my husband’s sister, she has assured me that she knows what he’s like and that I should take no shit from him.

I hear the door open behind me as I finish up drying my hands and turn back to the mirror for a quick check on my makeup, but the person who has just entered catches my attention from the corner of my eye as I see them reach for the lock on the door and turn it.

His nose looks like it’s been broken a few times too. He’s clearly no stranger to conflict, and I guess I just became his latest target for whatever fucking reason, I have no idea.

“Uh, you know that this is the ladies’, right?” I say, unable to help the sarcasm that drips from my voice. If this asshole is here to try and scare me, then he’s going to be disappointed. I live with the biggest monster to walk this earth, so this guy is going to like a pussycat compared to that.

The guy smirks and then charges for me, backing me up to the wall behind me, smashing me against it as his hand comes to my throat and grips tight.

Fucking hell, not even a minute to prepare myself.

“What are you doing?” I manage to choke out as he squeezes his fingers a little more, making it harder to take my next breath.

“Just passing on a little message,” he sneers, and his rancid breath hits my nose, making me grimace.
