Chapter 7
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.
