Lost My Love Before Daybreak novel Chapter 18

Katherine remained oblivious, her emotions running high.

"Ivan! Didn’t she say she wanted a divorce? What is this supposed to mean now?”

Crash!

“Ah!”

The wine bottle smashed on the floor near her feet, shattering into jagged shards.

Katherine let out a scream, clutching her chest as she stumbled backward. Her back pressed against the wall as tears of fear began to stream down her face.

"What right do you have to talk about Linda? Divorce or no divorce, that’s between me and my wife—it’s none of your business.”

“Did you really think that sending a few texts and photos to Linda would make her divorce me, and then I’d marry you?”

“Stop dreaming. You’re not even worthy of a single strand of Linda’s hair.”

With that, Ivan let out a mocking laugh, grabbed another bottle of wine, and collapsed back onto the sofa.

Under the dim lights of the private lounge, he looked utterly broken, a shell of himself. His chest heaved with laughter, though it was unclear if he was mocking Katherine’s delusions or his own downfall.

“I have nothing left now. Will you still stay with me?”

Katherine trembled with rage, her tears falling uncontrollably.

“Have a baby with you? Keep dreaming! Let me tell you the truth—I was never pregnant! I just wanted to piss off Linda and climb the ladder!”

“I’m the mistress, but none of you men who chase mistresses are any better!”

With that, Katherine stormed out, slamming the door behind her with a resounding bang.

The sting from the cut on Ivan’s cheek pulled him back to reality. Slowly, he raised a trembling hand to touch the wound.

Staring at the blood on his fingers, his eyes filled with panic as he murmured, “No… no, Linda can’t leave me. I still have to donate blood to Linda… Linda can’t leave me…”

Panic consumed him. He bolted out of the lounge, frantically searching for any trace of Linda.
