The Billionaire’s Bride: Our Vows Do Not Matter

A month later,

Cathleen was confused as to why there was no information on her husband on the internet. So she opened her laptop once more and continued her search, but she came up empty. After that, she used her hacking skills to gain access to the Knight group and learn more about Xavier Alexander Knight. Due to the stringent security measures taken by the company, this was not an easy task. She was taken aback to learn that the man was the owner of Knight Group International.

She started rubbing her temples and then dove headfirst into researching her husband’s background further. It was common knowledge that the man was a Casanova. Cathleen then smiled because she knew that the man was not one to settle down. She stood on the balcony and reflected on the circumstances that led to her marriage to Finn’s uncle. The two men were just the same to her. She went back to her bedroom and slept.

The sun rose, casting its warm rays over the bustling city. With a satisfied stomach from her breakfast, Cathleen gracefully made her way through the crowded streets of New York City. Her beauty was undeniable, drawing the attention of every man she passed by. It was a testament to her confidence and poise. However, today she was running late for work and had to navigate through the chaotic traffic. In her haste, she matched the accelerator slightly as she approached the traffic lights, causing her to accidentally collide with another vehicle in her path. The loud screeching of tires and the crunching of metal filled the air as onlookers gasped in shock at the unexpected commotion.

She checked the time and immediately berated herself for her carelessness. She exited her vehicle in order to have a conversation with the other driver. She didn’t have time to wait and urge the owner of the car she had hit. As she was about to take out her business card to hand it to the other driver, suddenly a harsh voice echoed.

“Are you blind? Can’t you see where you are going??” Xavier’s assistant wanted to go back and tell him it was his wife who bumped him, but the man was too quick to come down as he was in a hurry to go to a meeting.

When Cathleen first heard the voice, she had the impression that she had heard it before. She raised her head, and she was greeted by none other than her husband.

Both husband and wife were staring at one another. Xavier was curious as to her whereabouts since the two of them had tied the knot. It felt more like waking up from a dream when he finally saw her. Cathleen didn’t have time to stand by the roadside to fight with her supposed husband.

She then retracted her business card and started walking in the direction of her car. But then she came to a halt, thinking of the contact.

“Mr. Knight, I sincerely apologize for hitting your car. I was careless. Please send me a quotation for the cost of the damages. It will be my pleasure to make the necessary repairs to the car for you.” She said that as she bent down, opened her passenger seat to retrieve the contract, and walked toward Caleb, “As per my promise, I went through your contract and made some adjustments. Here,” she said as she handed the contract to Caleb. “I would love to wait here so we can fix this, but I have a meeting.”

“Where are you staying?” Cathleen came to a complete stop and turned around to confront the individual.

“Mr. Knight, I was under the impression that the terms of our contract stated that we should keep our respective businesses to ourselves. Why is Mr. Knight suddenly interested in my own business? Is that not going beyond the bounds you’ve set for yourself?” Xavier eventually came to the conclusion that Cathleen had perused the agreement.

“You are Mrs. Knight, and you cannot stay outside my house, as my father will eventually find out about our little arrangement.” The man answered.

“Mr. Knight, I don’t know if you were told, but this little arrangement, as you call it, was supposed to last for 6 months, and after that, we went our separate ways. so I don’t see a reason why you want me to come and stay with you.”

Xavier glanced at Cathleen and dared her to repeat what she had just thrown up, but Cathleen knew that it was inappropriate for a husband and wife to remain apart at this point in the conversation. She inhaled deeply before turning her attention to him. “For old Mr. Knight’s sake, give me your address, and I will see what I can do.” The unexpected ringing of her phone prompted her to take it in her hand as she got into her car and continued her journey.

Xavier had never had anyone walk out on him before. His little wife had just walked out on him for the second time. He turned his attention to the person working with him. It was hard for him to accept the fact that the woman he had wed was a Jackson, especially since the woman standing in front of him did not appear to have the slightest interest in him. However, this was actually a benefit for him because he was confident that he would not have sexual relations with her.

“Run another background check on my wife.” Caleb was mystified as to why his boss wanted to run another background check on his wife.

“We have already done a background check on Mrs. Knight, sir.”

“Repeat the process until you achieve better results.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

After Xavier got into his car, he had a sudden realization that Cathleen had forgotten to take down his address. After that, the man’s level of agitation increased even further. He arrived at his office and made use of the private elevator that was only available to him. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, he dialed Caleb’s number and spoke to him.

Xavier: So, what exactly did you discover?

Caleb couldn’t believe the man, as he had just dropped him off at work and hadn’t even started anything, so all he could do was remind his boss that he had just dropped him.

Caleb: Boss, I just dropped you off at work now, and I’m going to look into the matter.

Xavier hung up the phone before the other person had even completed their sentence, and then he sat back in his chair and stared off into the distance. After that, he turned his attention to the pile of papers that was occupying the surface of his desk. He was busy sorting out files when his assistant walked in, and the man immediately dropped everything he was doing.

“What exactly did you discover?”

“Her name is Cathleen. She used to be known as Cathleen Jackson, but the day that she married you, she severed all ties with her family and changed her name to reflect her new identity. She had been engaged to Finn for three years before he cheated on her with her sister, Avery. During that time, they were engaged. She called off the engagement and then immediately left the country after it was announced. She arrived in New York the day before the wedding after having been away for a while. Nobody was aware of anything concerning her. She is the type of person who spends a lot of time by herself. She has no acquaintances, but it appears that Finn was unable to seduce her into sleeping with him. Because of this, he found himself in a relationship with Avery, who was a simple woman. Cathleen took Avery’s place as the bride-to-be the same day the wedding was, but it appears that she had a hidden motive for marrying Finn all along. In addition to that, I learned that your father, Mr. Knight, had a lot of admiration for her. Cathleen’s innermost thoughts and emotions are never discussed with anyone else but him.”

Xavier couldn’t understand why someone who was so carefree would cut ties with her family.
