Divorce, Ending, And New Beginning

Gwen still couldn’t decipher how Seth ended up in the same bed with her.

She remembered meeting a young and good-looking man on the dance floor last night, but she didn’t know that it was Seth.

‘How did this happen?’ she thought.

Gwen was still frozen on her spot, still thinking. Meanwhile, Seth transferred his gaze from her face to her body. Gwen mindlessly glanced at him until she saw what he was looking at.

“You pervert!” she hissed and threw the pillow at his face. Her cheeks blushed as she tightly held the blanket on her body.

Seth let out a sarcastic laugh and removed the pillow from his face.

“A pervert? I don’t recall you calling me that last night. Now that I fulfilled your lustful needs, you think I’m of no use anymore, hmm?”

Gwen remained glaring at him. Seth glanced at his shoulder before looking at her again. “What do I have on my shoulders? Hmm… Let’s see. Aren’t these Mrs. Gilmore’s artwork last night?” he teased.

Only then did Gwen notice the red marks on Seth’s shoulders. Some were obviously scratched by nails, and the rest were bitten by a person.

A series of memories from last night popped out of her mind again. She vaguely remembered how she cried and groaned, but the man ignored her pleas. The more she made noises, the more she became a ruthless beast in bed. Hence, the scratches and bite marks on his shoulder were all caused by her.

Gwen glanced at Seth and swallowed hard.

She didn’t want to admit it. Heck, she hoped that she was just having a nightmare.

But the truth was that she slept with Seth Parker last night. Not someone else.

‘But how could I possibly not recognize him from the dance floor? Was I too drunk?’ she thought.

In the end, Gwen could only heave a deep sigh. It had already happened, so thinking about it more wouldn’t erase the truth that she really spent a night with him.

She wrapped the blanket around her body and stood up from the bed. However, it only took a step before a throbbing headache attacked her.

Gwen groaned. When the pain slightly subsided, she turned to Seth, who was still lazily lying on his back and staring at her. She rolled her eyes at him and started to collect her clothes on the floor.

“Why are you so upset, Mrs. Gilmore?” Seth asked in a mocking voice, stopping Gwen from entering the bathroom.

The woman clenched her teeth before turning around. Her piercing eyes instantly met his gray ones. “I’m Gwen Lewis, Mr. Seth Parker. Stop saying, ‘Mrs. Gilmore.’”

That name was just one of the few reminders of how she made herself look stupid in the past ten years.

She put her hands on the side of her waist. “Moreover, I really am upset. I’m actually planning to go to the hospital to have myself checked. Everyone in this city knows how much of a playboy you are. Who knows what type of virus you gave me.”

Seth’s face looked grumpier and grumpier as he listened to her.

Gwen noticed that she almost felt regretful for saying those things. However, she kept her façade by looking at him coldly and angrily.

Suddenly, Seth chuckled and sat up on the bed. “Yes, I’m a playboy. But who are you to treat so lowly? You’re not as pure or innocent as you think, Ms. Lewis,” he mercilessly uttered.

Seth shook his head. “From what I observed last night, it seems like Hayes didn’t satisfy you when you were still married. You were so unrestrained and wild. If only I didn’t know the truth, I would immediately think you had been sex-deprived for years! It seems like you just got divorced, and the first thing you did was sleep with a man. You truly shocked me, Ms. Lewis!”

Rage filled Gwen’s eyes. She threw all her clothes in Seth’s direction with all her might. “Fuck you, Seth! You’re a shameless bastard!” she yelled.

Seth smirked and picked the white lacey bra beside him. “Yeah, I’m shameless. Didn’t you know about that?” he asked while playing with the white cloth.

The word shameless really suited him.

Realizing that arguing with him was useless, Gwen released a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Not long after, she looked at him again, only to find him playing with her bra as if it was a toy.

“Give me my bra,” she sternly said and stretched out her hand.

Seth tilted his head and smiled devilishly. “You want your bra? Come and get it yourself.”
