Katherine's eyelashes fluttered as she awoke to the soft morning light filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. As she blinked herself awake, her eyes darted to the spot where Alexander should have been sleeping, but she was confused to see the empty space.She had seen him asleep the previous morning when she left the house, he had been fast asleep and she was careful not to wake him up as she slipped out of the room, but today was different.Reaching out a hand, she tentatively touched the space where Alexander usually lay. The sheets were cool, devoid of his warmth. A shiver ran down her spine as a sense of unease settled in the pit of her stomach. Did he not sleep here at all? She blinked in confusion and sat up, her thoughts racing as she tried to understand what was happening.Swinging her legs over the side of the bed, she stood and cast a quick glance around the room, hoping to catch sight of Alexander, but the room remained still, and he was nowh
Katherine swallowed hard and averted her gaze trying not to pay much attention to Alexander, although her heart was stirring in her chest.Alexander glanced at the maid. "You told me she was eating breakfast..." He frowned at her and the maid glanced back to see Katherine."Mrs. Katherine." She quickly lowered her gaze. "I thought you were in the dining room." She said softly.Katherine exhaled sharply. "Yes, I was, but I am done eating, I will be heading upstairs now." She glanced at Alexander before quickly hurrying up the stairs and Alexander blinked in confusion.Katherine bites her lower lips as she hurries up the stairs. "Shit, I really didn't eat much..." She muttered as she arrived close to the room door.She rubbed her stomach that was more or less empty due to her lack of appetite to eat. "Who asked you to be worried about him?" She spoke to no one but herself. "Now he is back and will eat more." She hit her head with her hand before going into the room.Alexander glanced a
Katherine left the room and ran down the stairs as she left the living room, making her way out towards the garden.She swallowed hard, wrapping her arms around her shoulders, she moved between the scented flowers and settled down on a bench in the garden.Her heart was thumping in her chest, she brought her knee up and leaned on it.Raising her hand, she touched her lips with her fingers, she closed her eyes slowly and felt his kiss on her lips.Shit, Katherine! She opened her eyes not wanting to think about it, but she couldn't help it.Her thought turned back to her nipples that were kissed and she parted her lips, her chest raising a falling.He is good, I shouldn’t have stopped. She hates herself for having these thoughts, but she can't help it, and now she can't stop thinking of how he kissed her passionately."If it wasn't for the call..." She swallowed hard and remembered her cell phone rang, she raised her phone up and glanced at it to see a missed call from Celeb.She raised
Katherine stood before the grand mirror in the master's bedroom, the soft glow of the chandelier casting a warm, golden light upon her. The dress she wore was a masterpiece of silk and lace, its deep blue hue complementing the richness of her chestnut hair. As she adjusted the delicate necklace around her neck, the soft chime of the door opening caught her attention. She glanced over her shoulder in the direction of the door.Alexander walked into the room, his footsteps muted by the plush carpeting. He'd just finished a call with Caroline who had informed him of the status of his mother.His expression hardened when he stepped into the room, but the sight that greeted him pushed all thoughts of work aside. He paused in the doorway, his gaze fixated on Katherine, his breath hitching as he took in her pure beauty.There was no doubt, she was curvy and the dress suited her well, hugging each part of her body and revealing her nice curves.She turned slightly, her eyes meeting his ref
Vivian stood at the center of the boutique, a spotlight illuminating her figure. The room buzzed with excitement, and Vivian's heart swelled with a mix of nervousness and gratitude.A big smile plastered on her face, she was dressed in a blue off-shoulder dress, her hair curled up and she wore a light makeup.It was finally the day of her boutique grand opening. The air was filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation as the guests gathered to celebrate the start of a new venture. Vivian had poured her heart and soul into creating the perfect atmosphere for the event, from the elegant decorations to the meticulously curated collection of clothing and accessories."Vivian I think you should give your opening speech now." Rita whispered to Vivian, also dressed in a stylish outfit.Vivian nodded, she glanced around. "Still no sight of Celeb." She whispered to her mother who shook her head."He isn't here yet." She informed her. "Katherine is not here either." She added and Vivian
Rita glanced at Celeb and back at Vivian. "You should calm down daughter, eyes are on you, you have to smile." Rita advised her."Smile?" Vivian scoffed. "How can I smile when I am so pissed?" Vivian said with gritted teeth. "Calm down Vivian, we have to give Celeb a reason to open up to us, or at least ask Katherine to help us get the information from him.Vivian groaned and walked away, Marcus saw her leaving and followed her, while Rita exhaled sharply and went to speak with Celeb."Hey, Katherine," Celeb approached her with a smile plastered on his lips, Katherine turned around, she saw him walk in when Vivian thanked him, but she was distracted to speak with him."Celeb." She flashed him a smile, he looked good, it's been over a month since she set her eyes on him, and he was looking older than she, perhaps it has to do with his suit, but still he looked mature and handsome."You look…" Celeb glanced down at her dress, accessing her, his eyes twinkled at how elegant she was dres
Alexander's eyes met Katherine's and a smile spread through his lips. He has seen her leave in this dress, but he must admit she looks more beautiful than every lady in here.Her beauty has made it easy for him to recognise her the staring eyes, he could see them stare, there was no doubt he looked astonishing and everywhere he stepped into, he got these stares.Vivian swallowed hard and quickly made her way to him, she was still curious as to who he was, he mesmerised her.She knew she had invited her friends and well wishers, she knew almost all of them who were present, but this was a face she had never seen before, if he existed, she would have known."Excuse me..." She called out without staring in the direction he was staring, she had no idea it was Katherine he was smiling at, all she wanted was to get to know who he is.Alexander glanced at her, but he frowned and looked away like she didn’t matter. All he wanted to stare at was Katherine, to get close to her and to shoot the
Katherine closed her eyes momentarily and Celeb glanced at Alexander and then at Katherine. "Katherine, I should go meet our parents now, and inform them Alexander is here." He said softly and Katherine shook her head and Celeb walked away.Alexander glanced at Katherine's face, the smile he had seen on her face when she was talking to Celeb, and it was replaced with a pale look."You don't also look good Katherine, are you alright?" He cupped her face.Katherine looked up at him. "Why are you here?" She raised the corner of her brows. "I told you, I wanted to get to know your family, see, your sister doesn't even know who I am." He pointed out."That doesn't matter, you and I know this marriage shouldn't work between us, we both agreed on something---""I know we did, but you know my family, and I know nothing of yours, also, coming here to support your family could also make the public speak good of our marriage and that way my parents would think everything is going on well betwee
