~Katherine's POV
Aaron's eyes widened, shock flashing across his face as he stared at me. "Katherine… that's…"
"I'm not done!" I shouted, my voice rising, trembling with every word. "She used lies, twisted stories, and, God knows what else, to make people think I was nothing, that I was beneath you, and that I didn't deserve your time or respect! And that I was following you because of your damn money!"
He looked like he wanted to speak, to defend himself, but I held up a hand again, shaking it slightly
I could feel every tremor in my body as I faced him, tears streaming uncontrollably, my hands clenching the edge of the desk to keep me upright. "Aaron," I said, my voice breaking into a whisper at first, "you don't understand what I went through while I carried your children."
