Kathleen pov We were able to stop by a restaurant to have breakfast, Lizzy didn't want to so she wouldn't look fat in the dress. She couldn't stop talking about going on diet from today. We hardly paid attention to what she was saying on our way to the wedding. We finally arrived, the beach was really a great place to get married to the one we love. It well decorated and the view was really beautiful. Lora parked the car at a parking space before we came down. We went to the bride dressing room to check out Lora cousin.We were directed to the room. We knocked slightly before entering. "Lora." Amy screamed as she saw Lora. She quickly stood from the chair she sat down while a lady was styling her hair. She came to hug Lora. "My bitch made it to my wedding." She said. Lora hugged her. "I wouldn't miss it for the world." After they were done, they pulled away from the hug. She gaze at us. "Kathleen and Lizzy." She came to hug me then went to Lizzy. "You're looking beautiful." I
Kathleen pov After they were done greeting each other, we all went out to the beach and got seated. We watched the two brides up to the aisle one after the other, it was a beautiful sight. We couldn't stop smiling as the vows were read out and the exchange of rings. It felt good to be there, it also feels good to get married to your one true love. The one person that would really love you for who you are and not what you pretend to be. I had leaved that dream before, it fucking hurt that it didn't work out as I planned it in my damn head. I sighed as they were announced wives. They kissed each other and everyone stood up as they clapped for them. "Way to go Amy." Lora screamed. Everyone glanced at Lora and saw the excitement in her. "That my cousin." Lora said. I smiled. "You shouldn't have screamed." Lizzy scoffed but didn't say anything. We watched as they both walked down the aisle in each other's hands. We followed behind as we all went to get seated at the hall. "I wil
"What the fuck bitch?" Lizzy yelled as she stared down at the pain Lora had poured on hurt dress.My mouth fell open in surprise because I wasn't expecting that, I knew it was going to really hard to get Lizzy off that dress but I never knew Lora had a plan to make it easy.We tried to convince Lizzy to take off the dress and out on what we had brought for her so she would be comfortable and eat as much as she likes but Lizzy solely declined the offer and told us to leave her with her dress.That when Lora brought out the pain spray and spray it on the blue dress Lizzy was putting on.I glanced at Lora, she glance back at me and saw the questioning look I gave her.It was what the fuck look I gave her.She shrugged. "I thought this was part of the plan.""Whoa...that didn't come out of my mouth. I never suggested spraying black paint on dress. I think it all you Lora." I said.Lizzy was as red aa a chilly pepper, she was really pissed now and that won't make her change the dress."Okay
Kathleen pov"I think we should split up, that way we are going to find her quickly." Lora suggested. "What about the clothes you brought for her?" I pointed out. "Well if you find her first, give me a call. I will be there before she leaves again and don't say anything that would make her leave." Lora warned. I nodded. "As long as she didn't make it hard for me." I turned and walked away to the opposite side. After few minutes of searching for Lizzy, I sat down to take a rest. I couldn't enjoy a wedding party because my dumb friend doesn't want to just give up. I was pissed that we couldn't just be like normal visitors at the wedding enjoying themselves. We had to go after a silly friend do that won't feel uncomfortable. Where could she have gone to? Lizzy was really hard to find. I relaxed back on the chair I sat down to think of Lizzy. In that moment I got the exact Lizzy would be in. The dressing room. From earlier, Lizzy doesn't know her way around. She did be in place sh
Kathleen povHe left the bathroom to go check who Lora admire was even if she insisted that we shouldn't do that, we couldn't stop ourselves because of curiosity.She didn't want to describe how he looked like or anything we could use to identify him among the crowd.Lora was slow lover, if she falls in love with someone, she falls harder and ended up being cheated on or heart broken.She didn't want to be any guys victim or one night stand, she was done with unfortunate relationships.She didn't want any guy to come flirt with her because that would definitely make her pissed."This isn't going to work like that, let just go eat something." Lizzy suggested as we stopped walking "I told you."Lora said.Lizzy gasped staring straight at the food table." I don't about you Kath but I have more important things to do than chasing after a dude without an identification. "She said and walked away.I glanced at Lora." You got to tell us who this guy is after we had something to eat. "I said
After we were done eating, we suggested we go get a cocktail from the bar.There was a beautiful bar hut at a side of the beach, we wanted to go check it out.Lizzy breathed in and out. "Doesn't it look like a beautiful day for a shut glass of whiskey, Kathleen.""No way, cancel that idea. This is my cousin wedding so no one is getting drunk at least not on my watch. I don't want what happened in the past repeat itself."Lora said.I didn't say anything because I knew what Lora said was right and at the same time I wanted to have a glass of whiskey.I shrugged." Let just go have the cocktail, I bet it would taste good. "Lora smiled." That the spirit. "We walked to the bar counter.The bartender was a skilled young lady who was obviously good at what she does.We watched her as she made the cocktail for other people who were there before us.Lizzy leaned closer to my ear. "She's good right?"She whispered I nodded."And she also looks cute." Lizzy whispered again.I glanced at her. "St
Kathleen povLora slowly stood up. "So you're Jason friend."Derek adjusted his suite jacket and chined up. "His best friend and partner in the business, baby."What? Was that his way of flirting?Definitely got the wrong chic.I pretended to be focused on my cocktail while they talked.Lora snorted. "And you are proud of that?""What do mean?""You're a fucking mess being the friend of that jerk ass, asshole." Lora crossed her hands. "Get the fuck away from me and my friends, Mr dick.""What?" He chuckled. "What did you just call me?""You heard me right, now leave." Lora insisted."Whoa, whoa, whoa." Lizzy stoop up from her chair, She stared back and forth at Lora and Derek. "That not how to settle this."I furrowed my brows.What the fuck is she talking about?"Lizzy, sit down. I don't want you interfering." Lora said."Hell yeah that ain't gonna happen, remember we are friends and friends help each other." Lizzy said, quoting what Lora had said earlier."Well this isn't right time
Kathleen povLora left when the conversation became uncomfortable to her, I followed behind so I could talk to her while Lizzy decided to stay behind.I followed Lora to the beach bank, where she stood admiring the sea."Hey." I called as I walked to her.She tugged her hair to the back of her ear and crossed her hands"You left Lizzy with Derek." She said."I think she would be fine in her own and as for Derek, he definitely going to have a lot of fun talking." I said.Lora chuckled slightly. "She didn't want to call him by his name instead she keeps calling him Jason friend."I nodded. "She is doing that deliberately.""I know." Lora sighed."Do you think Jason is here too seeing his friend at this wedding?"I breathed deep. "I don't think he is here, he went on a business trip so he couldn't come back this early.""Lora, I know you don't.....""Don't say anything, Kathleen." She turned to me. "I know what you want to say but please don't say it. Derek and Jason are the same people..
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
