Chapter 35: Kurt Reynolds

Daniel

I went back to my house as the media followed her, and me both. I closed the door and went inside. I was feeling numb.

I have never felt this way before. 

I did this all for revenge. For punishing her for what her father did and I realise I was wrong. He should be punished, not his daughter.

But it was too late. She already left, I have already lost everything. 

I tried to stop her but it was not gonna work anyway. When that man talked about divorce, my heart suddenly felt so heavy. I don’t wanna break this connection. 

But I had no choice if she wanted it. So, I said the same thing. I have made her do what I want for a long time now, I should let her do what she wants. 

I came inside and switched on a news channel. 

“People raged as Mr. Sullivan opened about his tortures on his wife. They want to start a protest, banning the products of Sullivan Enterprises”

“People need more of what Mr. Daniel has to say on the matter of his recent confession”

I switched off the television. It wasn’t like I can’t take criticism, but… I just… it feels as if my life is vacant. Like I just wanna stop doing anything. Like I should punish myself.

I decided on something. If my company will die out because of this, I won’t save it. But if it doesn’t, then I will not do anything more. 

Let whatever needs to happen, happen.

Kaitlyn

I reached the airport and went to my flight. I sat down. 

I was feeling guilty and sad. I know I did wrong and that I should probably just go back, but it wouldn’t be helpful.

The flight took off and I looked forward. The media left me at the airport. I just hope there is no paparazzi on the plane!

I looked out to the sky. It seemed nice. Everything was nice other than my life. 

Even if I overlook this, I just can’t believe he confessed in front of the media. He is an experienced businessman. He knows what effect it will have on his company!

I don’t know but doing so much only for the act is hyperbole. And I don’t honestly think he is acting. 

I thought of having a good sleep. It will definitely make it all better. I just hope that Daniel takes care of himself.

I woke up after a few hours and saw that the plane was about to land soon. I got ready and we soon landed. 

I took my luggage and as I was going out, suddenly someone came and bumped into me. I was about to fall but he grabbed me. “hey I am so sorry”

I looked at him and immediately got out of his hold. “It’s okay”

He smiled and then went. It was some random stranger. I don’t know why people run like this! I mean, really!

I took my luggage to a cab and went towards a hotel I already booked. 

I entered and got my room card. I was happy that I was not being followed here. Suddenly, I saw the same man and he came beside me. 

Is he following me?

He asked for his room card and I sighed. This is a coincidence. 

I started taking a better look at him. He had kind of shabby hair, black coat and decent shoes. His eyes are blue and his jawline sharp. He looked handsome to be honest and not the type of guys who go ‘round girls. He looks as if he is the boss of some decent company.

“Are you checking me out?” His words brought me back to reality.

“Huh?” 

As I realised what he said, I looked down immediately. “No-no, you have got me wrong”

“Well, not your fault” he took the card and started moving slowly. As he was talking, I also did move along with him.”I am handsome, I know”

“Uh…”

“Well, may I know who you are?”

“Ah, my name’s Kaitlyn… Sullivan”

“Kaitlyn, nice to meet you” he extended his hand towards me.

I shook my hands with him. “And you?” I asked.

“I’m Kurt Reynolds”

“Oh, nice to meet you too” 

he smiled. His smile is quite attractive, but don’t get me wrong! I am not even thinking about him! I know I am married and I love Daniel. 

“I’ll see you later then” he turned around and left.

I sighed and went to my room. He seemed to be someone important but there was no media surrounding him, and neither did he sound demanding. He also did apologise earlier. Most bosses are too egoistic for that.

I closed the door and sat down on the bed. The room looked beautiful. Maybe I should not think much and just… enjoy this.
