Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Katherine was shocked when Adrian asked about her engagement. His grip was tight on her arms and there was no escape from him. So she decided to tell the truth only about her engagement.

" My engagement was canceled. I didn't marry anyone." She replied, lowering her head.

" Why? He left you for a better person than you, ?" Adrian asked sarcastically.

" It's none of your business, Mr. Wilson. I don't like to discuss my personal life with anyone" She said, controlling the pain in her heart.

" But I'm your boss. You better answer me." Adrian was so mad at her. He pulled her close to his chest and shook her. " You better answer me. What is the reason?"

Katherine was so scared. She couldn't read his face. He always looked sad and angry. She knew he wasn't satisfied with her answer. He looked so painful. She was in an ambiguous state to explain to him the reason.

 She thought he would forget her and think of someone else. She hoped he would consider letting her go.

" You know it all, Mr. Wilson. I'm not interested in telling you the reason. It's already been six years since we separated. I don't think there is a need to talk now about why I ended up with you. You have your personal life, and I have mine. So, I no longer need to share it with you." She told him to escape.

" How can you talk with me as if nothing happened between us? Do you know how much I suffered because of you? How could you think that I have no right to ask the reason? " Adrian demanded.

He was a very smart man. He could read people. She could clearly see the hurt in his eyes. She wasn't going to tell him the reason. It was too painful for her.

 She didn't want to tell him, but she knew he was going to find out by himself, sooner or later. She was scared what if he finds out about his son, Sam. She would have told him the truth if he was not engaged to Emily. In this situation, she wanted to hide the truth from him for Emily and Adrian's happy future.

" I'm not telling you anything, Mr. Wilson. So, please, let me go. I have to work." She said, trying to free herself from his grip.

He pulled her arms more tightly and started shaking her violently. "Answer me, why are you not satisfied with me? My love?"

She knows him quite well, so she answered, "We are over. You have a fiance and are going to marry her. And I have my own life to take care of."

He was shocked by her outburst. He knew that he wasn't happy about it. But why did she not tell him the truth? Why did she have to mention it to him? He was going to be mad at her. He was going to be hurt by her. 

" Why the hell did you think of yourself, Katherine?" Adrian yelled.

" Nothing. I am just your employee. I don't disclose our past relationship with your fiance, Emily. I have no feelings for you. We will have only professional relations. " she said.

"If you're angry, I will accept your wrath," she added.

He knitted his eyebrows and looked at her with surprise. He noticed a lot of change in her behavior from the past. It was hard for him to digest hearing those words from her as if nothing happened between them. He was amazed to know that she does not affect him.

 He felt like someone stabbed his heart and his mind was shattered. He could never imagine that she would talk with him like a heartless person.

" Ms. Katherine, thanks for making me realize that I made a big mistake by loving the wrong person in my life. You teach a good lesson," he said in a cracked voice.

" But you will pay for playing games with my heart," he said with the sudden change in his voice.
