Fell In Love With You In The Wrong Time
chapter 1

chapter 1

Kathleen Johnson was sitting on the bed with a blanket wrapped around her. There were small redbruises on her exposed smooth shoulder and delicate collarbone. Although she was in a daze, it wasundeniable that she still looked sexy. The sound of running water from the bathroom stopped abruptly,and Samuel Macari came out of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around his waist after awhile. He had broad shoulders, a lean body, well-defined abs, and the chiseled features of a malemodel. No, he looked much better than a male model. “Why are you in a daze?” Samuel’s deep andmagnetic voice rang out. “Have you thought of what you want?” Kathleen regained her senses. Sheswallowed a lump in her throat as she looked at the man’s muscular body. “Is it okay if we don’t get adivorce?” Her voice was sweet as usual, and her eyes were filled with a hint of innocence and misery.“Why have you become so ignorant all of a sudden?” Samuel looked at her gently yet coldly at thesame time. “Nicolette is back.” Kathleen’s heart sank. Of course, I know that Nicolette is back. NicoletteYoeger was Samuel’s childhood sweetheart. Unfortunately, she was not welcomed in the Yoeger family,as she was an illegitimate child. Thus, the Macari family did not agree with Samuel marrying her.Kathleen, on the other hand, had a clean family background, and she was not the illegitimate child of arich family. Indeed, her background was very immaculate. Her parents were ordinary doctors, who hadunfortunately passed away in an effort to rescue Samuel’s grandmother, Diana Lane, from a fire. Thecouple had sacrificed themselves in order to save her. To thank the couple and prevent Samuel frommarrying Nicolette, Diana had forced Samuel to marry Kathleen. Back then, Diana had been in poorhealth, and the doctor had issued several notices of critical illness to Samuel. Samuel did not have anychoice but to agree to the arranged marriage. He had told Kathleen that he would not fall in love withher and that everything was done so that Diana would be at ease. Kathleen naturally understood. Shelooked very much like a harmless little rabbit. She was gentle and thoughtful and was never acompetitive person. Thus, he had assured her by saying, “As long as you are still Mrs. Macari, I will notlet you suffer. We will get a divorce three years later, and I will compensate you when the time comes.”Kathleen looked at him meekly. I married him not because of his money, but because I wanted to fulfilla dream from my youth. And the dream is shattered now. It’s time for me to face the reality. I’ve beengentle and obedient for three years, but I just couldn’t let this man fall in love with me. How pathetic of

me! “Sam,” Kathleen called him. She was the only one who would call him by that name. Andwhenever she called him that on the bed, Samuel could never stop himself from making love to her.She may look like a small rabbit, but she is a vixen deep down. She is excellent at seducing people. Atthe thought that she would probably marry another man after their divorce and of her using that samegentle voice to call another man, he felt a little displeased. “Hmm?” Kathleen could see her reflection inhis eyes. She mustered her courage and said, “Sam, I’m pregnant.” Samuel’s face darkened at once.“What did you say?” Kathleen trembled involuntarily. She bit her lip and repeated, “I’m pregnant.” “Getrid of it,” Samuel said without hesitation. “What?” “I said get rid of it.” His handsome face was full ofhostility. “I’m not going to backtrack on my plan to divorce you just because of a baby. Besides, I don’twant the baby to become a hindrance between Nicolette and me.” Kathleen’s face turned pale. It lookslike even a child can’t change his decision. How could he tell me to abort the baby? What a cold-blooded man. The baby is his own flesh and blood. Kathleen chuckled softly. “Why are you laughing?”Samuel’s face clouded over. “I’m not pregnant. I lied.” Kathleen had a smile on her face, but her heartwas bleeding inside. “You lied?” Samuel was visibly upset. “That’s right. If you don’t believe me, whydon’t we go to the hospital for a body checkup?” “Good. I don’t want the existence of a potential threat.Abort the baby if you’re really pregnant. I’ll give you an extra one hundred million so that you can dowhat’s necessary for your health. Don’t worry, it won’t affect your… second marriage.” Secondmarriage? Kathleen gave a rueful smile. “I’m really not pregnant, so you don’t have to give me extramoney. If you’re worried, we can go to the hospital for a checkup.” Samuel held her chin. “What’s yourplan after we get a divorce?” Kathleen wrapped her arms around his neck. “I wanna join showbiz.”Samuel was stunned. Kathleen had graduated from a film academy after taking an acting course. If notfor her marriage to Samuel, she would have won the award for best actress long ago. For somereason, Samuel did not like the idea of her joining the entertainment industry. He knew that she was analluring woman and was afraid that people would have their eyes on her. “Very well. I will add anotherclause to our divorce agreement. You’ll be signed under Starlight Entertainment, and they’ll make youfamous in five years.” Kathleen smiled faintly. “It’s fine. I was just saying. How are you going to tellGrandma about us?” Samuel felt the onset of a headache at the mention of Diana. He knew that Diana

would not agree with them getting a divorce. Moreover, Diana did not like Nicolette’s identity as anillegitimate child. “You go.” Samuel looked at Kathleen coldly. “She listens to you. I will give you anextra house if it works.” Kathleen was at a loss for words, and there was a throbbing pain in her heart.Did he really think that I married him for the money and the house? It doesn’t even concern him that hehas hurt my feelings. “Fine,” Kathleen agreed. “Sam, make love to me one more time.” “Your wish is mycommand, you little vixen.” Samuel pulled her out of the blanket and positioned her such that she wassitting on him. Truth be told, he could never have enough of her, for the woman was a delightful treat tohim. When he realized that he could never taste her again, he acted even harder than before. Hewished he could drain her energy. The night passed by and morning came. Kathleen was awakened bythe sound of a phone ringing. Even though she was emotionally abused by Samuel, he had pamperedher in other aspects. Knowing that she would be grumpy in the morning, he would set his phone onsilent or vibrate mode when he arrived home at night. He was afraid that someone would look for himand wake her up. However, unbeknownst to her, he had switched it back off. Lifting the phone groggily,she intended to tell him that there was an incoming call for him. But the moment she saw Nicolette’sname on the phone screen, she froze. So that’s the reason for the change. Is he afraid that Nicolettecan’t replace him? What a considerate man! All of a sudden, Kathleen realized that the past three yearshad merely been a dream. As a matter of fact, it was not without any signs. Even though Samuel didnot love her, he had doted on her, for she looked very identical to Nicolette. She had been Nicolette’sreplacement for three years.
