Chapter 1 The Return Of His First Crush
Kathleen Johnson was sitting on the bed with a blanket wrapped around her.
There were small red bruises on her exposed smooth shoulder and delicate collarbone. Although she was in a daze, it was undeniable 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 a while.
He had broad shoulders, a lean body, well-defined abs, and the chiseled features of a male model. No, he looked much better than a male model.
“Why are you in a daze?” Samuel’s deep and magnetic voice rang out. “Have you thought of what you want?”
Kathleen regained her senses. She swallowed a lump in her throat as she looked at the man’s muscular body.
“Is it okay if we don’t get a divorce?” 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 the same time. “Nicolette is back.”
Kathleen’s heart sank.
Of course, I know that Nicolette is back.
Nicolette Yoeger 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 a rich family.
Indeed, her background was very immaculate.
Her parents were ordinary doctors, who had unfortunately passed away in an effort to rescue Samuel’s grandmother, Diana Lane, from a fire.
The couple had sacrificed themselves in order to save her.
To thank the couple and prevent Samuel from marrying Nicolette, Diana had forced Samuel to marry Kathleen.
Back then, Diana had been in poor health, and the doctor had issued several notices of critical illness to Samuel.
Samuel did not have any choice but to agree to the arranged marriage.

Kathleen smiled faintly. “It’s fine. I was just saying. How are you going to tell Grandma 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 an illegitimate child.
“You go.” Samuel looked at Kathleen coldly. “She listens to you. I will give you an extra 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 he has hurt my feelings.
“Fine,” Kathleen agreed. “Sam, make love to me one more time.”
“Your wish is my command, you little vixen.” Samuel pulled her out of the blanket and positioned her such that she was sitting on him.
Truth be told, he could never have enough of her, for the woman was a delightful treat to him.
When he realized that he could never taste her again, he acted even harder than before. He wished he could drain her energy.
The night passed by and morning came.
Kathleen was awakened by the sound of a phone ringing.
Even though she was emotionally abused by Samuel, he had pampered her in other aspects.
Knowing that she would be grumpy in the morning, he would set his phone on silent or vibrate mode when he arrived home at night.
He was afraid that someone would look for him and 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’s name on the phone screen, she froze.
So that’s the reason for the change. Is he afraid that Nicolette can’t find him? What a considerate man!
All of a sudden, Kathleen realized that the past three years had merely been a dream.
As a matter of fact, it was not without any signs.
Even though Samuel did not love her, he had doted on her, for she looked very identical to Nicolette.
She had been Nicolette’s replacement for three years.
