Kate's P.O.V

Next morning I woke up little happy with improvement in our relation. Not that I was dying to be loved by him but who wouldn't like a civilised relation? I just don't like to fight with anyone but Ethan always did something which provoked me to yell or fight with him.

I got dressed and went down to have breakfast. I was so so so much hungry. Shyla was already preparing something.

"Good morning Mrs. Robinson." She smiled up to me.

"Good morning Shyla. Please call me Kate. I told you."

"I'm sorry Kate. What would you like to have?"

"That's okay. What are you preparing?" I asked not her.

"I'm preparing egg bagel and black coffee for Ethan."

"Oh so he didn't leave yet?" I slowly muttered but Shyla heard it.

"What do you mean by that? You sleep in the same room. Didn't you see while coming down?" She was surprised.

"Um, no. I'm yeah. I-I....." I didn't know what to say to save our lie.

"I was in the study sweetheart when you came down." Ethan came from nowhere and answered for me. Thank gosh!

"Oh!" Shyla and I said at the same time.

Ethan glared at me, of course I was about to burst his lie. He sat down next to me.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"You better be. Next time you won't get off like this." He said angrily.

I looked down and ate the food which Shyla served. Next Shyla went to her outhouse. So it was just Ethan and I.

Ethan and I ate with no words spoken. After eating he left without even saying a bye. How rude! Anyways who am I expecting to be good?
Just because we were good yesterday it isn't necessary to be good today.

::::::::::::::::

I came back from my dance class. It was such a long long day. Lot happened today. The owner of the studio where I teach came for taking the payment. And as always I didn't have enough money. You must be thinking that I'm daughter of a billionaire then why don't I have money? I don't borrow from my dad at all. I always wanted to do everything on my own.

Well today when this happened Austin was there too. He told me that he can lend me some. I just didn't like to depend on anyone. So I said no.

After Austin went for some work, Colin the studio owner came back citing some fake reason he came back. And what he did was unforgettable. He forced himself on me. He tried to molest me. Luckily I kneed him down and thats when my neighbour shop owner came and saved me. Colin ran away.

I didn't know when my tears were flowing non stop. I just wanted to hug someone so tightly. But who? Avery is out of town. Liam is busy with Eva. Mom dad were out of question. And so was Ethan.

Just then there was knock on door.

"Kate?" What was Ethan doing right now?

I quickly wiped my tears and sat up.

"Come in."

"Kate, my parents have called us to dinner tomorrow night." Ethan ordered as usual.

Today I was in no mood to fight with him so I agreed.

"Alright." I said.

He looked a bit amused that I agreed right away. But he shrugged and turned to leave.
I was so trying hard to not to show my state. I was controlling my tears so hard.

He turned back towards me.

"Anything wrong Kate?" He asked me.

"No nothing." I said but didn't look him in the eyes.

"Then why are you not looking in my eyes huh?" He slightly raises his voice.

"Ethan please not today. Just go." I said little harshly so that he would stop asking me questions.

Instead he came close to me and made me sit on bed and sat beside me. I was shocked with this. So this means he cares for me? But why and how? We just fight with each other.
He took my hands in his and held it firmly. He was looking at me but I looked down at the floor. If I did look at his eyes I knew I would break down.

"Kate, whats wrong?" He asked so softly. For a second I forgot that this man here could be arrogant.

I looked into his eyes and broke down. I covered my face with my hands.

Ethan's P.O.V

"Oh god Kate." I pulled her into a side hug. I held her hand in mine again. She kept crying. I caressed her hair. I really didn't know what to say. This hasn't happened with me before. A girl crying in my arms. But some how I wasn't feeling good at all seeing Kate crying. Whenever I have seen her she is full of energy. Always ready to take a fight with me. 

"Kate. What happened? Please tell me." I caressed her cheek.

She looked at me, her eyes full of tears. What has happened with her?

"Ethan t-today my studio's landlord came. I didn't have m-money. Austin said that he can lend me some but I refused. After Austin left for work, Colin came back. H-he forced h-himself on me. Somehow I managed to kneed him down and that time my neighbor also came. But he ran away before we could call the cops." She said while sobbing.

"Oh my god Kate. Why didn't you tell me? About the money issue. And why didn't you call me when this happened? I wouldn't have left that bastard like this." I gritted my teeth in anger. How dare he?

"You hate me Ethan. Why would I call you? If I would tell you I need money, you would call me a gold digger." She laughed bitterly.

Does she think of me like this? If she is in need of help I am out of option for her. Wow my wife said this.

"Kate if you like this or not, you are my wife. You are my responsibility. You should have called me. Tell me how much money do you need ?"

"I don't need your money." She wiped her tears and got up.

"Kate don't test my patience." I grabbed her wrist.

"$5000."

"Is this the rent amount?"

"Yes."

"I'm not going to let you work on a rented place." I said while doing something on my mobile.

"What? But why? What are you doing on phone? We are talking." She yelled.

"I bought your studio on your behalf."
