Chapter 6 You Will Have To Accept Me As Your Wife

• Amelia is unhappy with the decision made by her grandson.
• "Ethan, what are you doing?"
• "Tidying up this mess that Mrs. created."
• "She may be carrying your child, Ethan, you accepted that, now take it to the end. "Says Amelia, going up the stairs to Katherine's room.
• Ethan goes to his office, in the room Katherine is packing her things, calmly, being sent away was the best thing that happened to her, as she is not breaking her agreement with her ex"husband and can start a new life, away from that family, Amelia enters the room and brings her back from her thoughts."
• "Katherine, what are you doing?"
• "Mrs. Carter, you heard him, he sent me away, wants a divorce, I am doing what he asked. I'm only good for that, following your orders. And you know what, that was the best order I received in the last few days. "She says with a smile, she is relieved.
• "You're crazy, Katherine, you're not going anywhere, wipe that smile off your face. You may be carrying my great"grandchild. I will help you save your mother, we made a deal, remember?
• "I'm not breaking that deal, I will save my mother myself, because it wasn't me who gave up, it was him. I fulfilled my part."
• "Don't be stupid girl, do you really think your ex"husband will let your mother go free? All he wants is to be close to this family, don't ruin that and take your chance.
• "What chance? I live in hell in this family, I hate my life and wish I were dead."
• "Don't be ridiculous, you won't get a divorce and I will save your mother, you know it's your best chance."
• Katherine sighs heavily, she agrees with Amelia, Harry will not let her mother go free, without torturing her, if he finds out she got a divorce, she is so helpless and unlucky, her smile disappears and once again sadness takes over her. All she does is accept and pretend she has no love for herself and endure Ethan's cold and arrogant gaze, while he always mocks her.
• "Alright, I'll stay here."
• "That's the best decision you've made. "They hear a knock on the door, Katherine opens it and the maid speaks to her.
• "Mrs. Carter, excuse me, but Mr. Carter sent for you to come down now, he wants to talk to you."
• "Alright, I'll go down now. "Katherine looks at Amelia, who accompanies her.
• As she descends the stairs, Ethan watches her every moment, he never looks away and it bothers her, because he is always judging her, she stops and does not approach him. He remains silent staring at her, until she is forced to ask.
• "What do you need?"
• "You will go to the hospital right now, take a test to find out if you are pregnant, if you are, you will have an abortion, we will not have this child."
• "What? I will not have an abortion, I did not force you to do that."
• "You will do it, you won't have a choice and there's no way to fight against it. The driver is waiting for you, go now, get out of my way, I can't stand looking at you."
• "I won't have an abortion, you agreed to that, so you won't force me."
• "I changed my mind, we won't have a child, I don't like you."
• "Do you think a child is a toy, for you to discard, why did you change your mind? That will never happen, I don't care about what you want, I despise you."
• "I don't care either, because I also don't care about what you want and between us, we already know who has the decision"making power, so spare me with your little show. "Amélia intervenes, to end the argument."
• "Let's go Katherine, I'll accompany you, you will do what Ethan wants. He always gets everything. "She says, taking Katherine by the arm and leaving. During the journey to the hospital, they hardly exchange any words, Katherine is constantly praying silently not to be pregnant, then she breaks the silence.
• "If I'm not pregnant and now that Ethan wants me to have an abortion, will you still help me with my mother?"
• "What do you think, Katherine?"
• "I think not."
• "Then why ask? Don't ask obvious questions."
• "May God help me, may I not be pregnant. Because it will be a relief to get rid of you. Because Ethan will never be able to force me to have an abortion, I'll run away from him before he has that chance. I hate your grandson as much as I hate you and the idea of having a child who carries your DNA scares me. "Amélia observes her and says nothing. When they arrive at the hospital, they go straight to the office to perform all the exams. When the results are ready, the doctor enters the office to talk to them.
• "Good morning, Mrs. Carter, Katherine, I have the results of the exams, congratulations, you are 3 weeks pregnant, the procedure was a success. "Katherine puts one hand on her mouth and the other on her belly and cries, she doesn't know if the tears are of joy, sadness, or fear.
• "Doctor, I want you to give me a false exam, with a negative result. Ethan can't know about this pregnancy now, he will only know when the pregnancy is advanced, so she won't be able to have an abortion. "The doctor always does everything Amélia wants, she pays him a lot of money and is always investing in the hospital, so he leaves the room to arrange everything.
• "If you want this child, you will keep it a secret, for as long as we can hide it, you will stay in this marriage and I will save your mother."
• "Do I have a way out? No, I don't. I will do whatever you want, to protect this child in my womb and my mother. "She says, wiping away the tears.
• The doctor returns to the office and hands her the exam, Katherine takes the exam and puts it in her bag, and they return to the mansion. When they enter the room, Ethan doesn't even give them time to speak, he gets up from the sofa and goes to them.
• "Grandpa, you can go, I will take care of Katherine. "He gives her a kiss on her cheek. "I have something for you, come with me. "He opens the office door and when she enters, she is startled to see Harry sitting there, Harry is more scared than ever, when those men went to his office, he felt fear and didn't know what to expect.
• "Mr. Dawson, I believe you know Katherine, don't you? Once, you handed her over to my grandmother."
• "Yes, I know her, she is my ex"wife, I separated from her because your grandmother wanted her to marry you.
• "Don't think that collaborating with my grandmother will give you any benefit with this family, maybe if I had died, your plan would have succeeded. But unfortunately for you, that didn't happen. Therefore, you will stay away from any of us, if you don't, you will be punished for it. Don't let me find you near Katherine, she belongs to me, thanks to you."
• "You don't need to worry, Mr. Carter, I didn't expect anything in return, I just gave your grandmother what she wanted. I won't cause any trouble for your family. "He says with a trembling voice, making his fear visible. "And I won't go near Katherine."
• Katherine watches that scene and feels her heart racing with the fear present in Harry, she likes knowing that Ethan intimidates him and that for now she is still his wife.
• "Do you have anything else to say, Mr. Dawson?"
• "Just reinforcing that you can rest assured, I will stay away from your family."
• "I know you will, Mr. Dawson, you wouldn't have the courage to challenge me. Now get out of my house. "He says in a threatening tone. "Harry can barely walk because his legs are shaking so much, Katherine watches that and gives a slight smile, being observed by Ethan, who smiles seeing her satisfied with that. When Harry leaves, closing the door behind him, Ethan questions Katherine. "So, what do you have to tell me? "She takes a while to come back to herself, still with the image of Harry scared in her head. "Katherine, I asked you a question.
• "I'm sorry, I was distracted, don't worry, I'm not pregnant. "She opens her bag, takes out the test and hands it to him.
• "That's great, we will get divorced in the next few days. "He says without showing any emotion.
• "I'm not going to divorce you, Ethan, you will have to accept me as your wife. "She responds without even thinking, she is thinking about Amelia's words, as soon as her mother is out of Harry's control, she will find a way to escape with her and her son, but for now all she can do is go against the divorce and endure Ethan with his mockery and humiliation.
• "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you we will. You have no choice."
• "I do have a choice, in not signing, what will you do, force me? And even then, I will continue not signing. I will not give you the divorce, your grandmother doesn't want it, you heard her. So get used to seeing me as your wife, because my business is with her, not with you."
• "Katherine, do not challenge me, for your own good. If you do not sign the divorce papers, I will make your life a living hell, I can't stand you and I want you gone. I will not give up on driving you crazy, until you beg me for the divorce."
• "Why are you doing this? Why did you bring Harry here?"
• "I wanted to meet the man who scares you, wasn't that why you married me? Or are you just a gold digger? Are you in cahoots with him? Do you think you can convince me to negotiate with him, is that it?"
• "You're an idiot, I hate you and I'm not in cahoots with him, because I hate him too, you both could be dead, my life would be better. "She says angrily.
• "Great, then help yourself and sign the divorce papers, you'll be free from me, or I will continue to make you suffer, until you can't take it anymore."
• "Nothing I'm not already used to, I can handle it. I've been dealing with it for the past few weeks, haven't I? Because ever since you woke up, you've only made my life harder. I will not divorce, it will not happen, your grandmother wants to bury me with you, kill me and let's end this. Otherwise, excuse me. "She leaves the office as quickly as possible, to avoid facing Ethan's wrath.
• Ethan stays in the office hating her even more, because it's clear that she also doesn't want to be in that marriage, she even seemed happy at first, when he asked for the divorce, but now she's opposing it, which stresses him out, he loses control all the time. In the next two days, Ethan made everything very difficult for Katherine, and the more he found her crying and suffering, the more he made things harder, she had to make more effort to endure everything, because she needs to achieve her goals, so she did it and often forgot the pain that those tortures caused in her heart.
