At seven o'clock in the morning, Jeremy called Keith to go to the company at once. Keith had just returned from a business trip in Germany. A recent report needed to be reviewed by Keith before the shareholders' meeting. This was something that Jeremy could not help him with, so Keith had to attend.

After forcing himself to finish listening to the report calmly, Keith asked Jeremy to take over as he presided over the meeting. Jeremy was shocked. Jeremy was very tired from the previous night and thought that he would be more relaxed with Keith coming in.

"I can't believe this! He is putting his whole workload on me. This is unbelievable." Jeremy thought to himself.

"Gosh! Are you crazy?!" he said. He did not know what was going on. For a split second, he actually thought Keith had lost his mind. He did not know whether he was crazy or not.

Keith never even acknowledged what Jeremy had said. All he could think about was that woman, Cathryn.

Keith couldn't get over what had happened last night. It was a night that he would never forget.

"She said her name was Cathryn," said Keith.

Cathryn, after all these years, he finally knew her name. He thought. He knew he had to go back to the bar and try to find her. He immediately left and called the bar and told them that he would be there soon.

When the owner of the bar heard that Keith would be returning to his bar again, he immediately jumped out of bed and waited for Keith at the door. Before Keith entered the bar, he saw a group of people standing outside. The women who Keith assumed were the waitresses were very much attracted by his appearance.

They widened their eyes suddenly as he looked at them with his deep dark eyes and his thin, bright red lips.

"This way, please, Mr. Clarkson." The owner of the bar knew who Keith came to look for. He opened the door and invited Keith to enter the bar without saying anything else.

After leading him down the corridor, the owner of the bar and the waiters did not continue to move ahead.

Keith walked towards the door in a hurry and opened the door with the room card. Pushing the door open as quickly as he could, he entered the room. The light in his dark brown eyes was gone when he saw the empty room. His smile faded away in an instant. Keith looked around to make sure there was no one in the room, and then he started to leave. He grabbed the handle with his fingers and closed the door.

"She had already gone," he thought to himself. He was so disappointed.

Because of the night that she had, Cathryn's legs were trembling fiercely when she walked. It felt as though she was about to fall down. She did not want to be recognized by others, so she went home first to put on her hat and a scarf to cover her face. The only thing showing was a pair of bright, shining eyes.

Cathryn was starving, so she stopped at the vending machine to buy a sandwich. After all, she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. She ate the sandwich quickly and then returned to the vending machine to get some medicine for the pain. Immediately she put it into her pocket and ran away without taking the time to get her change from the machine.

As soon as Cathryn got back home, she poured a glass of water and opened the box to swallow the medicine. Grace went straight to Cathryn's house. As soon as Cathryn saw Grace, all the grievances came to her. She immediately buried herself into Grace's arms and began to weep. She was in so much agony, and she had to let out all of her pain and suffering. She had a hard time trying to explain everything to Grace. Grace was very understanding and told her to take her time and let it all out.

"You and Jordan have been married in secret for a year, and now he had an extramarital affair? How could he ask you to leave home without giving you any property?" Grace was very angry when she heard what Cathryn had told her.

"Is it true that your primary source of income came from him? Did he promise to give you anything after the divorce was finalized?" asked Grace.

"When we got married, I was unable to make ends meet. If it hadn't been for Jordan's support, I probably would have gone back home to become a teacher. This is what my mother had always wanted for me," said Cathryn.

"No!" Grace looked Cathryn straight in the eye. She began to roll up her sleeves, turned on the computer, and angrily said, "I have to post this in the forum to expose that bastard!"

"It's no use to do so." Cathryn drank a sip of milk and continued to say to Grace with tears. "He and the media all work together, and both the forum and Facebook have a lot of his fans. Even if you do so, his company can also handle it quickly without impacting him. Besides, he said that if I revealed our hidden marriage to the media, he would retaliate against my parents."

"How can you let him bully you like this?" Grace didn't understand the hidden rules of the entertainment circle. All she knew was that it was unfair for her best friend to put up with this foolishness.

Cathryn felt as though she were doomed to endure all the grievances in silence and give in to fate.

"Jordan said this is what I owe him and that I deserve it," said Cathryn, after hesitating for a moment.

Cathryn and Jordan had known each other for two years. They met when she went to an audition the year of her graduation. Unfortunately, the role of the audition was given to the daughter of a sponsor's friend, and it was then that Cathryn became acquainted with Jordan.

The first time they met, Jordan took the initiative to ask Cathryn for her contact information. In no time, everything seemed to come to them very naturally. Cathryn had liked Jordan for at least five years before she had even met him.

After six months of seeing each other, Jordan had finished doing all the romantic things that a man could do and then expressed his love to her.

When he suddenly showed Cathryn love, it was beyond her belief, and she was so excited. Like all young girls in love, she was very unassertive and agreed without thinking.

They kept their relationship a secret, but Jordan always treated her the same. Six months later, they got married. However, they were married in secret. Hidden marriages were not uncommon in the entertainment circle. Especially if they were famous stars like Jordan, he had such high popularity and status in the entertainment circle.

His fans would not accept that he was married to an unknown little actress. Therefore, Cathryn understood why Jordan requested to get married to her in secret. As for their marriage, besides two people, which were Grace, who was Cathryn's best friend, and Jordan's agent, Jason. No one else knew, not even Cathryn's parents.

Cathryn remembered how strongly Jordan felt about not letting her parents know about their marriage. She had opposed it at first but finally gave up when Jordan told her that both of his parents were dead.

Eventually, Jordan would be so spiteful that he would no longer talk to her whenever Cathryn mentioned her parents.

Since Jordan had grown up without his parents by his side, Cathryn worried that it might cause him grief when she talked about her parents, so she no longer mentioned them before him and no longer forced him to meet them.

She loved Jordan very much. No one could ever resist his intense pursuit. They could only surrender to him. Cathryn was a soft-hearted person, and her love was also tender. It was so tender that, in the end, she loved Jordan as much as she loved her life. A secret love like this was painful. It was tearing her apart.

She entered the entertainment circle, thinking Jordan would help her, but he never gave her any entertainment resources. A while ago, he gave her the chance to dance alone at the countdown party of PGTV. Her program was followed by Jordan's show.

Her dance was sexy and wild, which was related to her charming appearance and instantly astonished the whole audience. After she finished her performance and returned backstage to see Jordan's performance through the crack of the door, she saw a scene where Jordan was kneeling on one knee to propose to his gossip girlfriend, Athena. It made Cathryn's heartbreak.

Just before she went up to the performance, she even stressed to the other dancers that Jordan and Athena were definitely not lovers and the other dancers made fun of her for saying so.

As soon as Jordan knelt down, the mockery of the accompanying dancers came to her again. Without hesitation, Cathryn was just about to rush onto the stage. She was stopped by Jason, who had been waiting on the side. Cathryn started to cry, and Jason sent her home. It was that night when Jordan came back with the divorce agreement.

"Why are you doing this to me?" asked Cathryn. Her tears were now running dry.

"This is what you owe me, and all the pain that you are feeling is what you deserve." Jordan's answer was the same as the one she had given to Grace.

Cathryn didn't understand the meaning of his words at first, but when Jordan spoke out, he told her how quickly he could destroy her parents' integrity or anyone that she loved.

Cathryn was shocked, she could not speak. Jordan pinched her jaw so tightly that he almost crushed it. His eyes were full of coldness and hate.

"Who is this man? This is not the kind and compassionate man that I married." Cathryn thought to herself.

"Don't try to resist, or I promise I will take revenge on your parents." After Jordan left, Cathryn went into the bathroom, and her mind was in complete turmoil. Jordan's hatred of her did not seem to be false, but where did it come from? She wondered how he could have so much hate towards her.

Memories came flooding back about how she had been a good student since childhood without any chance to offend anyone, except once when she was in junior high school... Thinking of this, Cathryn suddenly woke up with a start, she was shivering in the bathroom. Why did Jordan hate her so much? Why was he so vicious? She couldn't understand what she had done. She questioned herself over and over again.

She knew she had to be careful and do what he asked of her. Jordan would often speak at the school where her parents worked, and when she mentioned her parents, he would always look cold. So, she wondered if this had anything to do with her parents.

Cathryn's train of thought was interrupted. In fact, it was totally unnecessary for her to think about this now.

Her thoughts were racing. She knew that Jordan had been planning everything before he approached her. So she knew that she was better off enduring all the pain in silence. If she were to develop a way to retaliate against Jordan, he would definitely even the score by using her parents.

Cathryn knew this was unfair, but she had no choice. She had to surrender to this fate. She was just an infamous little star in the entertainment circle. She did not dare to offend a superstar like Jordan.

Grace's face became pale in an instant when she heard Cathryn's words. Seeing her expression, Cathryn thought she had said something wrong, so she quickly hugged Grace and tried to reassure her that everything would be okay. Even though Cathryn knew deep down in her heart that it would take a long time before her wounds would heal.

Clenching her fists, Grace glanced at Cathryn. She lightly slapped her on the head and scolded her, "You fool! Why do you believe in anything that Jordan tells you? He must have been so addicted to acting that he thought he was acting in a heavy drama with you."

"You're right," answered Cathryn in a hurry.

"What did you think of the man last night? Did he leave any contact information for you? What was his name, and what did he look like?" said Grace.

Cathryn's character, like most girls, was immersed in past memories of her love affair with Jordan. So Grace thought that the most useful way to get Cathryn out of her current state of mind was to help her find a new boyfriend.

"All I know is that his name is Keith," said Cathryn shyly. She was hugging her knee and squatting on the sofa. The mention of his name gave Cathryn an unforgettable physiological stimulation of the events of last night.

The medicine that she had taken had given her body an uncontrollable desire that she wrapped her legs around the man's waist like a snake. She remembers continually making love to him. She had never felt this way before.

Every time she thought of this, she felt embarrassed.

"Why is your face so red?" Grace asked. She had noticed that something was wrong with Cathryn. She patted Cathryn on the shoulder.

"Nothing," Cathryn said calmly. She buried her face in her knees.

"Do you still have any sanitary napkins at home?" asked Grace while she was pouring a glass of water.

"It seems that I have run out," Cathryn put her palm on her face as it was burning up. She did not want to look up because Grace didn't want to see how flushed her face looked.

She then asked, "Are you menstruating? We can go to the supermarket to buy some sanitary napkins if you want?"

Staring straight at Cathryn, Grace said with a deep sigh, "No, they are not for me. You will have your period within a week after taking the emergency contraception. You are twenty-four years old, so it is less likely that you will get pregnant. Unless you are already pregnant? Are you?"

"Definitely not," replied Cathryn.

Cathryn quickly jumped off the sofa and looked for her wallet in a panic. "Would you please come with me to the supermarket to buy some sanitary napkins?"

When they arrived at the supermarket, they saw that there were many discounts, so Cathryn bought five boxes of sanitary napkins.

****

A week later, she still did not have her period. Cathryn was very confident in the beginning. Then she became nervous and then she started feeling very frightened. A week had passed, and Cathryn's period had not yet come. She called Grace in tears. Grace asked her to stay calm and wait for two more days. Cathryn tried to remain calm for three more days. Finally, she went to the store on the third day to buy a pregnancy test.

The following day, Cathryn saw the two red lines appear on the pregnancy test stick.

She was so shocked that she was unable to speak. Cathryn thought she was going to faint. While rubbing her eyes and trembling simultaneously, she placed the pregnancy test stick in front of her. The two red lines were more visible to her eyes now, and they clearly showed that the test result was positive.

The result was more unacceptable than her divorce from Jordan. She could hardly breathe. "What am I going to do?" Cathryn thought to herself. Her tears fell down like a waterfall. She was trembling as she looked for her phone. She knew she had to talk to Grace.

She had just finished dialing Grace's number when there was a knock on the door. It was a dull and slow sound.

"Who is it?"Cathryn asked, crying repeatedly.

Raspiness can be heard in her voice. She was in no condition to entertain anyone. All she wanted to do was to talk to Grace, but there was no answer. The knock on the door was continuous.

Cathryn gave up on trying to call Grace and took a tissue to wipe the tears off her face. She went to the door with tears in her eyes. Cathryn opened the door, and to her dismay, there stood Keith. She was shocked.

He lowered his head to look at Cathryn, and his eyes grew deep. Very tenderly, he asked, "Why are you crying?"

Cathryn couldn't speak. All she could do was look at the man who was standing outside in her corridor. He was at least six feet and four inches tall. He was taller than her door.

Cathryn needed to look way up to see his face. "Who was this man, and why does he look so familiar?" she thought to herself.

Jordan had the ordinary appearance of an American man. He had a pair of bright blue eyes, a high nose, and thin lips, like an elaborate statue carefully carved by God. It could be no exaggeration to say that Jordan had opened the door of the entertainment circle and reached the peak of his career with his handsome appearance.

However, the man in front of her was more exquisite than Jordan. The two of them seemed to be like two sculptures. One was the work that the sculptor was satisfied with, and the other was the sculptor's last work, to which the sculptor had devoted all his efforts.

The man's facial shape was clear, and she could vividly see the stereoscopic view of him. The hair in front of his forehead was combed upward to reveal his full forehead, and his crescent-of-moon eyebrows were thin and narrow. The bridge of his nose was upright and straight. His lips were thin and bright red. His lip shape was like the perfect sketch of a Creator.

The most noticeable feature of the man's face was his brown, large, and deep eyes. His eyes were sparkling in a glow of happiness. They were captivating, by far the most attractive feature of his darkly handsome face. They say that the eyes can express the emotions of the person. However, this man's eyes were one of his main attractions. People would look into his eyes and immerse themselves in a fascinating mystery, unable to extricate themselves.

Matching his facial features, the man sent out a remarkable temperament. He was wearing a plain white leisure T-shirt with a pair of dark leisure pants. It still could not conceal his elegance.

Unlike the handsome young actors who were popular in the entertainment circle, the man had been sending out a kind of sophisticated charm. He had long, nicely defined legs that made him win more girls' hearts than any other long-legged handsome man. Moreover, he was flamboyant with his character.
