Chapter 38: Friendship and Love

Chris

The media surrounded the place soon and I was ready to save my enemy. I know this wasn’t the best thing and I know maybe Kaitlyn will start hating me again, but I have to do this.

I can’t prove that Adams are heartless.

Not again.

“Hello everyone. With the rumours and the protests going around Sullivan Enterprises, I would like to add my words. As much as I want the protest to stop, there is something you should all know. They both love each other deeply and-and their relationship is fine now. So please don’t start anything that could ruin them. I am saying this, not as a CEO, but as a brother to Kaitlyn”

“But, Mr. Chris--”

I went inside and shut the door. I didn’t have the strength to call myself her brother till now. But I did today and I hope it isn’t that wrong.

Kaitlyn

It was 9:30 AM and I was feeling completely worn out. I was stressing myself now because I needed someone. I needed him to be here and what’s worse, I don’t even know who this ‘him’. I want Daniel but I can’t trust him, and neither can I be with him after what he did. 

I wanted Kurt but… I want to be loyal to Daniel.

Uh!

I am thinking about everything, but I don’t know how to do this without getting hurt. There is this one thing which can be done, but I don’t wanna hurt Daniel.

I just knew, I shouldn’t hurry. Maybe I can be with Kurt but… I should take my time.

I sighed and decided to just sit down and relax and maybe get some job: definitely work from home.

As I switched on my laptop, I unknowingly went to the news channel, after all my relatives are great people! And to know what’s up with them, I have to check the internet.

I stared at the screen as the headlines flashed, suggesting that Chris went public to protect Daniel. I am sorry, but, did he just protect someone who tortured me?

I mean, I can be with him because I love him, but how can he protect someone who tortured me! Yeah, they have done this together.

That’s why Daniel came that day. He wanted me to forgive him! Of course he wants that, after all they planned this all together!

My mind was becoming too hot, it was almost like I am having a sharp fever. I closed the laptop and touched my forehead. Apparently, I was just freaking out, and nothing else.

Fine then. This was all a plan, right? They are working together to hurt me. I always knew Adams were heartless. But turns out Daniel was also heartless. 

I was crying but I knew what to do.

Time to start a new love story. 

I went out of my room and roamed around a little bit so that I could see him. I am not gonna love him straight away.

I am gonna love him slowly slowly. Maybe he doesn’t love me, but surely I am gonna tell him how I don’t want to be called Mrs. Sullivan anymore.

Yeah, maybe I am Sullivan, but I am not his wife. Not anymore. Not after I have found out about their plan. 

It hurts when your husband and your brother team up to hurt you, doesn’t it? What good actors they are, they should go and work in a movie.

I sighed as the thoughts started troubling me again. I wasn’t that good now. I was having some difficulty standing and waiting and my head was spinning.

But anyway, I sat down on a chair in the reception room and waited for him.

After ten minutes, I saw him coming. I smiled. 

I stood up and went to him. He looked at me and smiled. “Oh hello, Mrs. Sullivan, such a surprise seeing you here. Are you going anywhere?”

“Ah no, but… you can call me Kaitlyn”

He looked at me quite shocked, but smiled. “Sure, Mrs. Kaitlyn--”

“Just Kaitlyn”

He kind of laughed awkwardly. “Ah that would be--”

“Unprofessional? It is fine”

“Okay… Kaitlyn”

I smiled. “yeah”

“So call me Kurt too” 

“Sure, K-Kurt”

He chuckled. “Just Kurt”

I laughed. “Okay… Kurt”

He smiled. “yeah. So why are you sitting here?”

“How about going to a mall or some shopping? I needed someone… to go with me and I thought maybe we have formed some kind of friendship, you know, so--”

“Yes, yes of course” he smiled. “I’ll be honored, Kaitlyn” he smiled more as he said my name.

“Yeah! Let’s go”

He smiled and took my hand. “Sure”

I didn’t know what was going on, but we went out and I was holding his hand too, unlike the last time. 

We reached his car and he asked me to go inside. “If you may, ma’am” he imitated and I laughed. I went inside to the passenger’s seat and he sat down on the driver’s seat.

“To where?” he asked.

“Mall”
