Kathleen pov "That bastered, how could he fucking break up with you after fucking five years of loving each other, that if he loved you." "He did......"I blurted out unknowingly. Fuck Kath, when will you get that he never loved you. If he had love you for a second he wouldn't cheat. " You sure or that what you keep telling so self so you won't feel more hurt than now that you had only being the one who had fallen in love." It hurt my so bad that I had to listen to someone admit what I was trying to hude deep down in my heart."It wasn't like that." I said as I ballsd my fist trying to control my anger. I face the window she wouldn't see the expression on my face. "You're not the only one who has faced some shit like this, I did too. I got divorced after spending ten years in a marriage just because my husband found out I couldn't get pregnant." What? I faced her. "Ohh am sorry." She tilted her head. "Well it a year now and I had to move on." Well this was first time hearing s
Kathleen pov "Ladies I'm home." I announced as I entered the house. It was really quiet which is supposed to be usual knowing the type of person I stay with. "Lizzy!" I called as I walked into the kitchen, but I didn't get any reply. "Lora!" I also didn't get a reply. Ohh wiat, Lora would probably be out on her date. I had forgotten about it. I sighed and helped myself with a glass of water. "Hey you're back." Lizzy entered the kitchen holding a shopping bag. She dropped it on the counter. "What's in there? I asked as I walked to counter. "Ohh I went to do little shopping, I figured we needed some groceries." She replied as she walked to the fridge. She opened and brought out the cartoon of milk. "And where are you taking that to?" I asked as I watched her walk to the sink with the cartoon of milk. "The milk doesn't taste good any more." She said over her shoulder. "What?" I strode to where she stood. "How did you know that?"She snickered. "Go ahead and drink it then if y
Kathleen pov"Kathleen!" I heard my name being called from the sitting room, it was loud and I knew who it was."Kath!" Lora called as she rushed into the kitchen."Ohh hey Lora." I saw the look on her, it wasn't good.She ran to hug me really tight, like I was about to die. "Thank God you're okay.""Uhm yeah I am." I said. I was running out of breath because of the hug."Heyy, the hug is a little too tight and I am running out of breath." I said."Ohh sorry." She pulled away from the hug.I breathed deeply."Are you alright, Lora? You sure look like you had a panic attack." Lizzy pointed out.I nodded. "Yeah, are you okay?""I wasn't but now seeing you alive, I am fine." She admitted.I smiled and glanced back and forth at Lizzy and Lora. "I am or don't I look okay?""Hmm." Lizzy stared at me closely. "Maybe."I rolled my eyes. "Am fine.""Derek told me you've fainted at work today because of Jason bitch.""Ohh he did?"Lizzy chuckled. "It sure seems hilarious."I tossed a glare at
Jason pov"Of course I am." He said angrily. I rolled my eyes and walked out. It was probably the best thing I could for him now. I didn't get to reach down stairs before I heard my name being.I thought he wanted to be alone to get over his anger. I stopped on the stairs and waited for him to catch on me."Hey Derek?""You left?""Yeah that only because you told me to when ever you want to share your shit, so..." I continue walking down the stairs."I can't believe Amy still glue herself to you regardless of how your are." He said trailing behind me. "And I don't care." I showed a nonchalant attitude toward what he said. We went to the dinning to have breakfast. I sat down while sat down beside me. "How do you live being cold to everyone around. " He asked curiously. "Great." I replied sharply and started to eat. "Yeah I should have expected that." He said and started eating. "The food taste good but I can't eat feeling this way." He began. "How could she just leave me like t
Kathleen povI eyes fluttered open when I felt light directly hitting my eyes, I glanced at the source of light to see sun rays were peering from between the gaps of the curtains. I sleepily sat up and rested my back on the headboard.I rubbed my eyes to make the sleep leave me, I turned my head toward the alarm clock, I got at seeing what the time said.Fuck!!!I didn't set the alarm clock or it bailed on me this time. I was fucked.... I hurried ran into the bathroom and freshen up, I came out two minutes later and went to my closet. I just picked out an handles blue grown that was a little short but I didn't notice that. I took my black coat and out them on. I did do any makeup because I was running out of time. After putting on my ear rings and wristwatch, I put on my black ankle boat and went of my bedroom. I know I wouldn't be having breakfast at home or at any restaurant so I just wanted to make a sandwich and leave, I will eat that when I get to work. I went to the kitche
Jason pov "Well, well, well.... Having fun without me?" We heard a lady's voice coming from behind. Without anyone saying saying who it was, I knew who the person was. Ariel "Ariel." Derek called. She spread out her hands. "Yeah Derek, whole and behold." Derek laughed and went to hug her. "Yeah big guy, missed you so much." Ariel said while hugging him back. What the fucking hell was she doing back here? I told not to come back after Isabella and Joan died. She was once a target, If I didn't get the reason on time I would have lose the only family I had left.They pulled away from the hug. "It so good to see, Ariel." Derek said cheerfully. "Same here." She stared at me over Derek shoulder. "And you too cousin." Flashes of how I met her on the floor, raped, assaulted and at the point of death. I so much hate myself for not finding who ever had done that to her. I was just left with the broken Ariel and took years for her to gain her sanity. I gnashsd my jaw so hard that I
Kathleen povOhh boy... She thought I did think of she as his bitch. Not that I was denying I didn't she was his bitch. "Yes I am his new secretary," I admitted. "unfortunately." I murmured that part. She chuckled."So are you going in or we could hang out in your office." She suggested smiling. "Uhm..." "Jason is a terrible mood right now and it all because of me so going in there is taking the blame for what you didn't do." Yeah she was right about it. "Okay we can go to my office." I invited her to my office. We went to my office and I offered her a sit. She sat down comfortably and went to make her a coffee. "I will it without a sugar or milk." She stated. I turned toward her. "What?" She pointed at the direction of the coffee. "I don't want sugar or milk in ng coffee." "Ohh okay." I turned to the coffee machine. I got her a cup of coffee without sugar or milk. I brought it to her and gave it to her. She took it from me. "Thank you." I nodded and smile. I went to
Kathleen povI knocked on the door before opening it. Jason and Derek were having a conversation but immediately I entered the office, Jason stopped talking."Mr knight." I called gently."Hey cousin." Ariel called and went to sit at the couch.I walked to his desk. "You are having an interview with the reporters and after lunch, you would be going for the project at Los Angeles.""You sure are a busy guy." Ariel said.Jason tossed a glare at Ariel."Derek you should go stand in place of me." Jason finally spoke out."What? Why me?" Derek asked."I have more work to do here at the office rather than going for the interview or project sight seeing." Jason replied annoyingly."I also have work to do in my office." Derek pointed out."Of you both aren't ready to get your ass out of this company then I should go as a proxy." Ariel suggested."No you're not." Jason and Derek said at the same time.It was like they declined the idea for her own safety.What was going on here?"I have told y
Kathleen povA knock on my bedroom door woke me up early on Saturday morning. I had set my alarm clock to 10 am in the morning so I could get enough sleep when I hardly do during week days. "Kathleen, get up." I heard Lora voice as she entered my bedroom. "Why?" I slurred. "You have an early visitor, that the reason you need to get the fuck up." She said as she walked to the window. Visitor? Who? She spread the cotton allowing the morning the reflection of sun on my face. I quickly took the pillow to block the reflection of sun." Can you stop? ""Your weird friend is here to see, remind me her?" I took the pillow of my face. "Lydia? " Yeah that's lady."She replied. I remembered giving her the address to my place when I got home yesterday. I invited her for lunch not breakfast. "Well she's waiting for you in the sitting room. You should get up and see her before going back to bed. And don't you dare think of sleeping for another hour before going to see her." She said and wal
Jason pov"Come and take sit." I offered when I saw her enter my study she stood at the door.She walked to front of my desk and sat down."The investor coming today, did you reschedule the meetings?" I asked."Not yet, your schedule on Monday is tight and I don't know if you're taking the trip offer to Australia.""Ohh that? I had forgotten about that." I turned on my laptop began type. I wanted to get more information on the trip. I saw it wasn't a meeting with an ordinary investors. It was an important one. History Known by the names "The Honoured Society", L'Onorata Societa or La Famiglia to Italians but more simply as the Mafia to most Australians, the 'Ndrangheta has controlled Italian-Australian organised crime all along the East Coast of Australia since the early 20th century.My family got involved in them when we had business to take care of in Italy. Loranso was the one who pulled off the deal with the Ndrangheta. So we have being partners since then."I am going for the t
Kathleen povI dished out the soup into two bowl and placed it on the counter. Ariel and Jason sat down at the counter waiting for Nina to come try out."Okay, I still don't get it. Why did Kathleen have to prepare soup for Nina to have a taste? Is some kind of recruitment training or what? I thought Kathleen doesn't have any business here so is she here."Ariel asked Jason.Jason avoided her question as he kept on scrolling through his phone.I knew Jason doesn't want Ariel knowing so I kept quiet.Nina walked into the kitchen." Sono qui, signor cavaliere. "Nina said. (I am here, Mr knight) " Siediti e mangia. "Jason Instructed as he placed his phone on the counter. (Sit and eat) She nodded and sat down. I offered her a spoon and she took it. I watched her as she took her first and nodded. "Continue."Jason said. She continued eaten. " Okay if both of you don't want to say anything, I will have the second bowl. "Ariel said and took the second spoon from my hand. Jason didn't s
Kathleen pov"You did have to check the cctv camera to figure that." She walked to me. "You did well, Kathleen." I nodded. "But I shouldn't have lied.""Well don't feel guilty of doing that. It's just a lie, it won't kill you." Ariel said and tapped my shoulder.She walked to the fridge and opened it. "Something smells nice, is it what Nina is cooking?" She asked.Ohh the soupI hurried walked back to where I was cooking."Uhm, Kathleen are you the one cooking?" Ariel asked as she slowly closed the fridge while glancing back at Jason and I."Yeah I am....""It none of your business, Ariel." Jason said, stopping me from explaining to Ariel.She smirked. "You obviously didn't notice, Kathleen now is part of your life whether you want or not" She opened the bottle and drank from it.I glanced at Jason, he was glaring at Ariel. I decided to focus on the soup I was preparing.If this was the reason why he wanted me here, then I wanted to be done with this and leave this house."Where did y
Kathleen pov After having lunch with Jason, I found myself in the kitchen making soup.I can't believe Jason thinks I drugged him. Why on earth would I do so?I began preparing the soup while Jason sat at the down, working with his laptop.Nina wasn't in the kitchen, probably doing something else."Did you see Ariel on your coming here?" Jason asked.I remembered Ariel telling me not to inform Jason that she went out."Uhm," I shook my head. "No I didn't." I started starring the soup vigorously. Hoping he didn't figure that I was lying."Ms snow." Jason called.I stopped starring and held the spoon tight, I turn around to meet Jason gaze on me. "Yes, Mr knight.""Come take a look at my computer screen." He said.What? Why would I do that?I stood at my position without making a move."Don't make me repeat myself, Ms snow." He said, his tone was cold and deep.I nodded. "Yeah sure, I will."I dropped the spoon in a bowl and went to where he sat down." Take a look. "He pointed at the sc
Jason pov "Ms snow." I called. I saw how she spaced out while I was asking her questions relating to the report she sent to me. "Yes Mr knight, did you need anything else relating to the reports?" she asked like she paying attention to me. " You weren't paying attention to what I was saying so don't pretend. You zoned out, do you mind telling me what in your mind?"I asked. She opened her mouth to deny but had a second thought. She did know I knew when she decides to lie. "I was th......" The knock on the door didn't let her finish what she was about to say. "Yeah come in." I said and the door opened. "Signor cavaliere, il suo cibo è pronto nella sala da pranzo." Nina said as she stood at the door. ("Mr knight, your food is set in the dining) "Ci Sanremo." I replied (We will there) Nina nodded and left my study "Food is ready, Ms snow. Let go eat." I stood up from my chair and walked to the door. Kathleen did the same and followed me out of the study. We walked to the di
Jason pov"I want you in my house now." I instructed and hung up.I threw my phone on the bed after I hung up the call.Her soup couldn't be the reason I slept and woke up late right?I shook my head, yeah it can't be.I felt so relieved, it being a long while since I had this feelings. If it was the soup which it couldn't, I did want to know what she had add into it.I went to the bathroom to freshen up and get ready to see Kathleen.After few minutes later, I had freshen up and gotten dressed.What I need now is my breakfast.I went down stairs and saw Kathleen with Nina, she was trying to speak English so Nina could understand.Doesn't she know Nina doesn't understand English, even if she tried it was a waste of time."What going on here?" I asked on my way down the stairs."Ohh uh, it nothing, Mr knight." Kathleen said as she faced my way."Devo prenderle il servizio da pranzo, signore?" Nina asked. (Should I get the dinning set for you, sir?) "Sì Nina, impostalo per due." I re
Kathleen povI haven't seen Jason all morning and I haven't heard from Derek when he left my office to his. I I had to cancel his appointment in the morning thinking he would be late today but not this late. I wanted to call Ariel to check up on Jason but I changed my mind.It was lunch hour and I had made plans to meet up with Lydia for lunch.As I was about leaving, Derek came into my office with a confused look written across his face."Jason isn't in his office, has he being here this morning?" He asked.I shook my head. "Nope not even a call or message from him. I am staring to get worried, Mr Derek."He sighed deeply and shook his head. "I have to hear from Ariel."He brought out his phone from his pocket and dialed ariel's number.She didn't answer the call at first but called back a second."Jason hasn't been to the company this morning, Ariel." Derek informed. And I couldn't hear what her reply. "What? He is fucking sleeping by this time of the day? Are you sure of what you
Kathleen povI arrived at the company three minutes earlier, sure Jason won't be here before me.I went to my office to get Jason scheduled ready for today.I placed my pruse on the desk and went to make a cup of coffee for myself.After making the coffee, I starred it but almost got in on my clothes when I got startled by the knock on my office."Ohh sorry, I didn't mean to startle you like that." Lydia said as she walked into my office."Ohh don't worry, I didn't get my clothes stained." I said and walked to my desk. "Coffee?""Yeah please, I really need it." She said and sat down. I when back to make coffee for Lydia."So how are you doing?" She asked.I nodded. "Am good. You're early today.""I am always early if you haven't noticed it." Lydia said and crossed her legs.I brought the cup of coffee to her and handed it to her."Is Mr knight in his office?" she asked."Nope I don't think so." I replied."Hmm, I kinda of thought he do come early to work everyday.""He is the boss, he
