I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Through all those happy moments , Kate had truly fallen for Sawyer . She never expected him to speak to her with such cutting words . " I'm not criticizing you . I'm just stating the facts , " Sawyer said , looking up . " So , are you making that face because you can't admit how incompetent you are ? " " From now on , just stay at home and do whatever you want , " he declared , final and unyielding . Kate couldn't accept this sudden change . " Why are you doing this ? Is this your way of showing me love ? Have you forgotten all those promises and vows you made when we got married ?

" Sawyer stopped in his tracks and scoffed . " You actually believed that stuff ? " It hit Kate like a punch to the chest . She stared at his back in disbelief . " Sawyer , what do you mean by that ? " He had changed completely , and it happened out of nowhere ! "Are all men like this ? Do they just stop cherishing you once they have you ? " Sawyer , clearly annoyed , turned sharply . " Have ? Have what ? I haven't even touched you . But I've given you everything a woman would have . " Indeed , he had given her everything . Kate had once been the envy of every woman around her .

But the more she thought about it , the more it sent chills down her spine . If she were to decide to divorce now , how would she explain it to anyone ? Say that Sawyer had changed ? Who would believe that ? He still came home every day , didn't indulge in debauchery , and didn't force her to work , allowing her to enjoy a comfortable life at home . He seemed ... perfect . A sudden wave of fear crawled up her chest . She realized that she couldn't read Sawyer anymore . He stubbed out his cigarette . " I've had some free time recently , so I'm staying home with you . " He would be with her ?

Kate drew in several deep breaths and stepped in front of him . " Honey , I know I was being impulsive to bring up divorce . You've had a lot to drink tonight , so I won't take what you said to heart . Get some rest , and we'll talk tomorrow when you're sober , alright ? " Kate showed her tender , caring side once again . Sawyer smiled , then suddenly cupped her head and pulled her close . Leaning in , he studied the faint trace of fear in her eyes . " Can you guess why I married you ? " Kate's breath caught in her throat . 1/2 " Kate . " He whispered in her ear .

" After we got married , you splurged on shopping sprees , traveled around the world , and filled an entire room with jewelry and designer pieces . Everyone's seen your vanity on full display . You were happy , right ? Well , since you've had your fun , now it's my turn . " " What ... " Without warning , Sawyer grabbed her slender neck . " I've asked Damian to give you half a month off . For the next two weeks , you'll stay home . During this time , I'll teach you how to be a cultured and capable woman . Don't embarrass me . Got it ? " Kate couldn't breathe .

She pounded at his hand , but Sawyer didn't budge an inch . He then let go of her and headed to the bedroom . Kate steadied herself and rushed to find Lola . It was at that moment that she found out that Lola had already been fired that evening . It was no wonder she hadn't seen the latter anywhere all night .

Her eyes were full of panic and unease . What was Sawyer planning to do ?
