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
Vivian finished crying and doing her makeup, she stepped out of her office with Rita and when she glanced around, she didn’t find Alexander or Katherine, then Celeb walked over to her."Whatever idea you have running through your mind, I advice you not to let it consume you, don't bring it to light---""What are you saying?" Vivian looked at her brother, trying to act cool."I know you have something you are planning, I know you Vivian, but I hope you really change for real this time." He advised her.Vivian rolled her eyes. "I really am not thinking anything," She glanced around again. "Where is Alexander and Katherine?" She asked, turning her gaze back to Celeb."They have left." He told her and her eyebrows furrowed."They just left?" She asked, anger forming again in her heart. "Without saying goodbye to me, the host?" She clenched her jaw."Not everything is about you Vivian, whereas, the host was away so I bid them goodbye myself." He told her. "I am leaving also." He said and
Alexander smirked and started the car as he drove heading to their destination and Katherine looked away from him.She knew he had sharp eyes. If he had observed all that in just staying a few hours in that event, then he could have caught her soon in her lies, and that thought terrified her."Don't be curious about anything!" She immediately spoke up and Alexander glanced at her."Why shouldn't I be? You are my wife." He said simply and Katherine curled her hand into fist as tears clustered in her eyes.To hear those words was awesome, but the weight that comes with those words terrifies her. "Stop saying that!" She yelled and Alexander glanced at her suddenly confused at her outburst. "I want to go back to the time when we didn't care about anything about each other." She told him."I can't help but be curious about you, Katherine---""Don't be curious, what does it change?" She asked in anger. "It changes nothing!" She said out loud, tears rolled down her cheek and Alexander was p
Marcus pulled over at the Jonas apartment and turned to Vivian who unfastened her seatbelt."Good night Marcus." Vivian told him and tried to step out of the car, but Marcus held her hand."Vivian, did I do something to offend you?" He raised the corner of his brows, fear gripped him."No, Marcus, I am just tired." She said softly."Then why can't you look into my eyes when you speak?" He asked her and she glanced at him. "The spark in your eyes is suddenly gone, tell me if I did something wrong and I will try to correct it."Vivian swallowed hard. "I am just tired Marcus, I had to prepare for a huge event and also had to face my brother and Katherine, so I just need to rest, I will call you later." She forced a smile and pulled her hand from him as she pushed the car door open and stepped out of the car, Marcus also did."It's not about Alexander, is it?" Marcus quickly asked and Vivian halted, she swallowed hard and clenched her jaw.She slowly turned her eyes to him. "What are you
Katherine swallowed hard at his closeness and quickly placed her hand on the towel and her hand touched his as she moved back, touching his hand sent a shiver down her spine."You should worry about yourself." She told him. "You are still wearing your wet clothes." She added glancing at him.He glanced at himself and then at her as he forced a smile. "You shouldn't worry about me, I don't get sick easily." He said and pointed at the dressing mirror. "I plugged in the hair dryer already, you should dry your hair and wear something warm." He told her.Katherine glanced at the hair dryer and her eyes clustered in tears, it has been a while someone did that for her, the last person to ever plug the hair dryer for her was her mom, and seeing him do it made those memories flood back.She didn't look at him, rather she walked to the hair dryer. "I will, so go take your bath, I already prepared a warm bath for you too." She informed him and picked up the dryer."Thank you." Alexander smiled,
He walked back to the chair with the glass and bottle of whiskey, he sat down and sniffled."I tried to kill myself." He told her and Katherine gasped, clasping her lips with her hand.Alexander was the last person she thought would try to commit suicide, even when she lost everything, suicide never crossed her mind, she thought her story was pitiful, but his story was worst."I cut my wrist with the thought that if I should bleed, I will be rushed out of that confinement, that I would have a chance to see the outside world before I die..." Tears rolled down his cheek as he drank again."I was stupid to think that way, I never imagined my parents would bring the best surgeon into that place to heal me before I die, she would rather save me there than send me out..." His lips trembled, the memories stabbed his heart.Katherine's eyes were blurred in tears, she had heard he was sent away as a kid, but no one knew what he had suffered.She wished to stop him from saying more, but she fel
