Evan's eyes popped out and his jaw dropped, "You were not supposed to see it!"
"Too late!" Catherine yelled.
Catherine still held the papers up, "Well, the fact is the divorce is FINAL! What does that mean, we're not married anymore, Evan? Tell me now!" She slammed the papers on the table.
Evan swallowed a big lump in throat and tilted his head back to look at the ceiling and then looked back at her and sighed.
"I'm sorry that you had to find out that way. I didn't intentionally mean for this to happen this way . I wasn't out to hurt you like that, I really wanted to expl-"
Catherine interrupted him.
"Oh please, intentionally? You did it on purpose! You hurt me and you broke my heart! How dare you! How did you do it?!" Catherine angrily demanded.
Catherine frantically ran over to Evan and pushed him against the wall.
"HOW!" She turned around and didn't want to look at that sicko cheating liar guy. She walked back to the table and took a look on that paper and she had a few tears, but held back. She turned around to face him. She sat down with her legs crossed.
"We're not leaving until you explain everything… Don't you leave anything out, understood? I want the truth..all of it! Start from the beginning." Catherine demanded.
Evan nodded, "Catherine...First of all, I'm sorry for everything. Oh, during our marriage, you didn't show your affection towards me, so that's how I started falling in love with Alex and I want to be with her. I had to create some schemes so that you wouldn't suspect anything. I covered some documents over divorce papers so you would not see it. I tricked you into signing it."
Catherine tearily sat there quietly and didn't move then opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. Her heart dropped. She was shocked and overwhelmed. She finally spoke up.
"You what? You've drawn up the divorce papers without me knowing. You could've just asked for it. I wish you had told me how you felt and we would have worked something out. But instead you just went ahead and did it anyway! And please..I don't show my affection towards you? You know how tiring I was from work… We worked hours and hours and barely saw each other. I thought you loved me, you didn't love me enough to trust me? I need to stand up and move around." Catherine said in frustration, massaging her fingers on her temple.
Evan shook his head and sighed, "Gosh, you didn't do anything to make me happy...it just happened! I love you, but not the way I love Alex...um I lied about one thing that it was not real. Do you remember what I've told you about my kidnapping?" Evan gulped.
"Yes I do..what about it? wait...oh my god, Evan, it was fake kidnapping, isn't it? Oh my..there's no guys...you made up a story, so you could be with her? Do you realize that the kidnapping is a very serious felony? You know I'm a cop! I catch the bad guys like you and put them away, you should know better than that?! That's a very dangerous thing to do!"
Catherine paced crazily back and forth. She placed her hand on her chest and felt her heart beating rapidity. She took a deep breath and then let it out slowly as Evan looked on. She needed time to process and think before she spoke again. She suddenly got into his face and slapped him across the room, "How could you play on my vulnerability? Why did you do that? WHY!"
Catherine pulled back and away from him as Evan rubbed his hand on his cheek to soothe it. Catherine hands put her hands on her hips and walked over to the window, leaned her head against the window frame and stared out.
She then drifted off in her thoughts, 'How could he do this to me? I'm not married anymore...'
She snapped out of her thoughts and turned around and looked at Evan and asked, "Is there anything else you have to tell me?"
Evan shook his head. "No, there is not," He lied.
Catherine walked towards Evan and poked her finger in his chest, "You'd better not lie to me again, now are you sure?"
Catherine took her wedding ring off her finger and stared at it then threw it at him.
"Get your clothes out of here and leave now and go to your tramp!"
She stomped to the door and was about to open the door. Evan just blurted out, "Don't you talk like that way about her because she is my wife!"
He rolled his eyes as he let it slip out of his mouth. He covered his mouth with his hand. He looked at her surprised. He was silent for a moment as he slowly looked down at his feet.
She snapped her head up and her eyes widen and gasped then turned around. She looked straight to him.
"What did you just say?" Catherine shockingly reacted.
Evan palmed his hands over his face and shook his head then his hands ran down from his face, "oh crap! I said she's my wife."
Catherine couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was speechless. She thought he was joking, but he was not. Was he serious? She looked into his eyes, to see if he was telling the truth. She couldn't breathe as she walked towards the table, bent down to put her hands on the chair, and took a breath. She finally turned around and dashed towards Evan and punched him in the nose. Evan stumbled and held on the bed and looked at the blood on his hand.
Evan frantically covered his hand over his nose to stop the bleeding, "You freaking broke my nose!"
"You deserve it! You married her, right after our divorce was final! I can't believe you! I can't take it anymore. Get the hell out of here now!" Catherine angrily yelled as she pointed to the door.
Evan stormed out of the room and walked to the elevator and pushed a button. He waited for it to open. Evan almost bumped into the man as he got out of elevator. He saw Evan holding his nose with bloody hand.
"Whoa, what happened? I happen to be a doctor, let me see please." A man said.
"No, I can take care of it. and I'm also medical examiner, so I know what I'm doing. Thanks…?
"Oh Vincent. No problems..u need to take care of it right away." Vincent smiled.
"yes I will..by the way I'm Evan. I got punched in the nose. So I better go and take care of it." Evan said, pushing an elevator button again.
Vincent grinned, "Oh that must be hurt! I'm sorry to hear that."
Evan stepped onto the elevator.
Catherine leaned back against the edge of bed with her knees bent and her head down on her arms on the floor, crying uncontrollably.
Vincent walked and passed by Catherine's door, he stopped in his tracks and heard something from her door. He leaned forward his ear against the door to hear her crying. He knocked the door, "Catherine, it's me Vincent..please open the door."
Catherine raised her head up and heard Vincent calling her name out at the door. She got up from the floor and walked slowly to the door, then opened the door.
Vincent reacted when he saw her face with red eyes filled with water from crying, "Catherine!"
Vincent walked in and pulled her into his arms and her arms wrapped around his waist then walked together to the couch by the window and sat down. Vincent comforted her as she buried her head on his chest and cried.
"Catherine..what's the matter? Has something happened? You are trembling, Honey..I'm worried about you." Vincent asked.
Catherine gently stood up, walked to the bathroom to grab kleenex and came out. She wiped her tears away with kleenex and then blew her nose. She gathered her thoughts before explaining what happened to Vincent. She then walked towards the bed and sat down on it. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and let it out while Vincent waited patiently.
"Vincent, everything is a mess! I mean everything. Remember I told you about my husband cheating on me with another woman? Catherine said.
Vincent nodded, "Yes I do..what about it?"
"See..he introduced me to her once...that's why she looked familiar. I remember now. He met her at Menchie's and they got to know each other then one thing led to other. They have been doing it for 4 ½ months during our marriage. He bought her here on my vacation. Here! How could he bring her here!? He lied me to get away to be with her. I couldn't believe how stupid and fool I am. And...you're gonna love that..he made up a kidnapping scheme. It was fake. He led me believe that he was kidnapped. He really was with her a whole time when he was "kidnapped". Can you believe that? I hate Alex and I -." Catherine surprisely saw Vincent's reaction.
Vincent interrupted her, "Alex?! What are you talking about?" He quickly stood up from a couch.
Catherine looked up at him shocked. She could see his face was pale as if he just saw a ghost. She rubbed her hand on his arm up and down, "Yeah it is Alex, you know her? She was with him whole time during our vacation."
Vincent brushed off her hand. He stepped back away from her and looked away. It really hit him and it broke his heart in pieces. He stuffed his hands into his jeans and tried to open his mouth, but nothing came out. He was shocked at what he just heard.
He looked back to Catherine, "Are you sure it was Alex? Because she's uh...my girlfriend...you're wrong...impossible. She wouldn't do this to me..she wouldn't?!"
Catherine covered her hand over her mouth and held her other hand on her stomach. She started to cry, "Oh my god!...no that can't be...There's no way she's your girlfriend...your girlfriend and my husband? Together? It doesn't make sense. I don't understand...She has a long red hair with blue eyes and a nurse, is that how you describe her, Vincent?"
"Well sounds like her...she has gone out since we got here. She came up with excuses, so she can be with your hus-"
Catherine interrupted him, "ex-husband."
"I don't understand." Vincent had a perplexed face. "What do you mean?"
"That snake cheating liar divorced me without me knowing! And he tricked me into signing the papers. We have been divorce for awhile." Catherine explained in a growl voice.
Vincent held his hands up, "What!? How? So he could be with Alex?!"
He can't believe it. He pounded his hand on the table and she jumped and she quickly covered her hands over her mouth.
"Vincent….I...I didn't know that it was your girlfriend. Remember we first met on the beach? That's why they couldn't go with us. Well one more thing...umm...Evan has been married to her after he divorced me."
Vincent held his finger up in front of her, "Wait a minute...what did you say? You said Evan? with his bloody nose?"
"Yeah..that's him…how did you know that he had a bloody nose?" Catherine jerked her head in puzzlement.
Vincent tilted his head back and laughed then turned it into frown, "Seriously? Are you frigging kidding me?!...that's great...just great..I just met him outside in the hallway by the elevator. I almost bumped into him and saw him covering his bloody nose. I don't believe it! He married my girlfriend. I have to confront her and tell her what I know..I know she'll be rattled and can't get away with it. She knows it."
Catherine sat on the bed across the couch where Vincent sat. He bent down with his elbows on his legs and entwined his hands together, gathered his thoughts, and processed all of this as Catherine crossed her arms over her chest with her legs crossed and stared at the wall. They were overwhelmed by the messy situation.
After long moment's silence, Catherine spoke, "Vincent…." Catherine uncrossed her legs and walked down to him then bent down to place her hands over his hands. He brushed off her hands and got up from the couch and walked away from her. She gripped his arm to stop him and turned him around to face her. They gazed into their eyes and he looked away and he left about a word. He went into his room and called Alex. She finally answered.
Alex: Hello, Vincent!
V: I need to see you now.
A: Vince...you sound mad? Are you ok?
V: Just get here right now!
Vincent furiously hung up. He sat with his elbow on the table and his hand knuckled on his leg, facing to the door, his face looked mad like scary staring eyes, and waited for her.
Alex smilingly got into their room and saw Vincent facing her, "Hey Vince, what's up?" She grinned.
Vincent looked mad at her and said nothing as Alex opened her mouth to speak, but he stopped her.
"Enjoy your day?" Vincent said in a serious tone.
Alex nodded, "Well yeah….but what's wrong?"
"Oh, congratulations are in order, Alex!" Vincent chuckled as he stood up from the chair and walked towards Alex.
"What are you talking about?" Alex asked puzzled.
Vincent rubbed his hand on his chin and sighed, "Well let's see...oh yeah that's right..um you're married! Surprise!"
Alex's eyes widen and her mouth opened wider. She gulped big time and she couldn't get away with it. She said to him, "Oh god, how did you…? let me explain, Vincent."
"No necessary! And..I already met your new husband Evan when he got into the elevator. That's fantastic...oh where is your wedding ring? You hide it from me since we first got here...on our freaking vacation! You surely fooled me. Get out and I never want to see your cheating liar face again, ever!" Vincent rebuked.
Alex was shocked and lost at words. She looked to him, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! How did you find out?" She whimpered in a crack voice as she gripped his shirt.
Vincent pulled her hands off his shirt and held them up, "Evan introduced you to his ex..do you remember her?"
"Oh my goodness..Catherine." Alex gulped.
"Yep!" Vincent said.
Vincent turned her around and pushed her to the front door. He opened the door and scooted her out and slammed the door in front of her.
Catherine jumped when she heard the slamming door and went out to look around and she saw Alex. She angrily walked over to Alex and slapped her hard, causing her to fall back on the floor. Alex looked up at her shocked. Catherine turned around and went back to her room. Alex awkwardly got up from the floor and left hotel to find Evan.
I struggled with that story for awhile. I tried to make this story better than boring..I hope you like it. I'm not good at that, but I was told that to take my time and put into thoughts before I write. So I did. Hopefully next chapter will be better. Please review. Thank you for your patience and support! I really appreciate it. I love you all! Xoxox
