Katherine arrived home, she pulled the car over into the garage and stepped out, it was already dark but the light from all around the mansion brightened up everywhere.She took a deep breath and walked into the mansion, she was greeted by the maids who were already positioned at the door."Mrs. Katherine, would you like dinner to be prepared downstairs or would you eat upstairs?" One of the maid's asked her."My husband..." She passed her lips and quickly caught herself, she quickly called him her husband without thinking."Alexander, have you eaten dinner yet?" She asked and the maid glanced at the other maid before shaking her head."Ever since you left, he has been upstairs in the room and has not come to the door, we didn't want to bother him so we never asked him." She responded."Oh, I see, I will speak with him and inform you if we would have our meal upstairs or downstairs." She told her."Alright Mrs. Katherine." The maid lowered her head and Katherine made her way upstairs
Katherine rushes upstairs and into the room, she walks into the bathroom and reaches for a neat white towel.Heading back to the room, she rolled up her sleeves and poured the ice cube into the towel, she wrapped it slowly and placed it on his forehead, Alexander ."It will help cool you down." She said softly as she dabbed his forehead with it.She reached for her phone and googled how to take care of a person suffering from a cold.She thought for a while and glanced at him, seeing his condition was still worse, she left the room and headed to the kitchen again."Mrs. Katherine, do you need something else?" She asked and Katherine glanced at her."Just get me some lime." She told her as she reached for the kettle."Mrs. Katherine, I can help you with whatever you want, just instruct me on what to do." The maid told her.Katherine shook her head. "Go and sleep, and leave the rest to me, I can do this...""But, Mrs. Katherine...""I am also a lady." Katherine interrupted her and the m
Alexander smiled, he didn’t let go of her hand but led her out of the door, and James who was waiting by the car blinked to see Alexander and Katherine walking out of the apartment hand in hand.James quickly opened the car door. "We will be giving my wife a ride to the office." He told James as Katherine glanced at him.Alexander placed his hand above the car and gestured to her to go in and she nodded and went into the backseat and he followed her.James shut the door and went into the passenger side of the car, he instructed the driver of their first stop and he nodded, imputing it in the GPS, he drove out.Alexander and Katherine were silent all through the drive, just stealing glances at each other."We are here." James called out and Katherine quickly unfastened her seatbelt."Have a nice day at work." Alexander told her sweetly and James almost turned his head to be sure he had heard that from Alexander."You too." Katherine said quickly and reached for the door."I will come p
During lunch, Carlos approached Katherine who was about to go with the rest of her team."Let's talk Katherine." He told her and she looked up at him with a smile, but when she saw he was not smiling, she became curious and nodded as she followed him to the company rooftop."Is everything alright, Carlos?" She asked, concerned at his sudden desire to speak with her up here.A light breeze brushed past their face sending Katherine's hair to fly backwards before settling down her shoulder.Carlos made sure no one was up there before turning his gaze back to Katherine, his expression unreadable, nothing like Katherine has ever seen before."Did I do something wrong?" She asked and Carlos parted his lips."Why is your name Katherine Jonas and not Katherine Edward?" She was quickly taken aback by his question, that was the last thing she expected him to find out.She swallowed hard, trying to maintain her emotions. "Umm..." She stepped forward a little. "How did you---""Start explaining K
As Alexander walked into the mall with Katherine, all eyes turned in their direction, girls drooled as they stared at him in admiration.Head turned, he was so handsome and dressed professionally that he looked outstanding, even with Katherine by his side, they didn't care and kept giving him the winks and flirtatious look.Katherine glanced around at everyone who stared at Alexander and when she glanced at him, his eyes were solely on her.He smiled at her and tightened his grip on her hand and she smiled, her eyes lit up seeing that he didn't give any of the ladies attention, but pin his eyes on her alone.Alexander walked into a boutique in the Mall and the staff they approached froze up to see him.Alexander blinked and glanced at Katherine who swallowed hard seeing how the staff was staring at Alexander without tearing her gaze, and right now she wanted to scream that Alexander was her man, but before she could speak, Alexander spoke first."I am here to get a nice dress for my w
Vivian tried calling Katherine, but each call was unanswered, Katherine saw her call, but she was at work and was not willing to answer the call,she didn’t want to face Vivian, whereas she understands that Vivian didn't like her and there was no need responding to her call and ruining her mood as it was.Vivian groaned in frustration and tossed her phone aside. "Really, avoiding my calls now are you Katherine?" She curled her hand into fist and walked over to her office window only to glance out and see the figure lurking around at her boutique entrance.Her eyebrows creased and were pulled down into a straight line. "What the heck is Marcus doing here?" She clenched her jaw.She exhaled sharply and walked out of the office, her staff greeted her and she nodded to them. They were busy taking orders and selling to customers who had come in to get dresses.Shs pushed the front door open and walked out, glancing sideways to make sure no one was watching, she approached Marcus."Follow me
Vivian and Katherine were both seated in a cafe opposite the company, it was kind of empty from where they sat, so Vivian didn't try to fake more smiles."What do you want this time?" Katherine asked, she was angry at Vivian for always trying to use her."I want Alexander, so divorce him and leave, go enjoy your life somewhere else." She went straight to the point and Katherine blinked in confusion wondering if the words she had heard had come directly out of Vivian's lips."Now you want to get married to him?" Katherine raised the corner of her brows and Vivian smirked."Of course, I want to, in fact, I broke up with my boyfriend, so I am single and ready to be the rightful bride of Alexander Swift, so leave!" She said with a smirk.Katherine rolled her eyes. "Now you want him? How easy you could say it, do you think I can just divorce him?" She asked and Vivian leaned close to the table."If you can't, then what plan did you tell Celeb you have?" She asked, glaring at her begrudging
Katherine returned to the office, her eyes were red from all the crying, this was never what she wanted, being like this wasn’t what she wanted, she never knew thing will turn out like this, Vivian wanting Alexander was the last thing she believed.A knock came on the door and she glanced up, too weak to ask the person out there to come in, but then the door was pushed open, and it was Greta.“Ms. Katherine here is the report from the last meeting, could you review it and send it up to Mr. Carlos, Ms. Grace left to deliver a file to a client, and I have more work to do.” Greta said and Katherine nodded.“Please leave it on the desk.” She said softly and Greta did, and turned to leave but stopped by the door and turned back to Katherine.“Ms. Katherine, are you alright?” She asked and Katherine looked up, she didn’t know her sadness was so obvious.She quickly looked away and forced a smile. “Yes, I am alright.” She nodded and opened the file Greta has just left on her desk.Greta drew
Two months laterThe final project was concluded and lunched, Katherine had signed deals with the investors and about to take her next big step, the redevelopment of her father’s company will be concluded in a few days and everything else seemed perfect.She stood at her father’s company building, gazing at it, she can still recall how it was in the past when her parent were still alive and she had made sure the exterior design was just that way, tears brimmed in her eyes, Alexander had helped her and made it happen.“Mom, dad, it’s almost over, I even got the house back.” Tears rolled down her cheek as she thought these in her mind.Alexander who stood next to her saw the tears in her eyes and held her shoulder, whirling her to face him, he used his finger to wipe her tears and cupped her cheek.“You should be smiling not crying, CEO Katherine Edwards.” He called her by the title and it made her chuckle, she had never been called like this, but hearing him give her the title brought
Over the next few weeks, Katherine discovered she still has feelings for Alexander when they started working on the project together, meeting different directors and investor that would help her father’s company take a stand again.Alexander didn’t fail to show up for Kyle who was so happy when his mother finally revealed to him that Alexander was his father, he even asked Alexander to come have a sleep over in their house, although, Alexander usually leaves whenever Kyle falls asleep. Carlos didn’t like the fact that Katherine was meeting with Alexander, but he couldn’t stop it, Alexander played a crucial role in the project, and he was Kyle’s father, but Carlos still cling to the hope that Katherine can’t get back to Alexander since she still thought he was married to Vivian and this was also what made Katherine hold back her feelings even when Alexander shows his.Jane called Alexander over to have dinner with her and Swift, when Alexander came, they asked him when he would get ma
The taxi Katherine boarded pulled over at the entrance of Swift enterprise, she stepped out of the car and looked at the large building, it was same as she remembered it, this was the largest enterprise in the country, and from what she found out two years ago, Alexander has been the one who brought it this far, earning his father’s trust, he became the CEO of the company with a large shares.Katherine curled her hand into fist, she had worked here, but due to the lies of Vivian and her mother, she was forced out and ridiculed, now Alexander wanted her to work on a project with him and bring back hatred from the people who loathes her.She exhaled sharply and made her way to the front desk, she informed the staff there that she was here to see Mr. Alexander, since he made an appointment with her, the staff recognized her instantly, the marriage had been so huge that everyone knew about her, whereas, she had been introduced once to the company.The staff informed her that Alexander was
Caroline knocked on Alexander’s office door, and made her way. “Mr. Alexander, there is a parcel here for you.” She told him and handed him an envelope.Alexander quickly reached for it and tore it open, he glanced at the DNA test result of Kyle and him and he scoffed when he saw that it didn’t match, he glanced up at Caroline. “Who sent this?” He asked.“It was an unknown sender.” Caroline replied. “But it said you urgently needed to see it.”Alexander clenched his jaw. “Manipulating a DNA test now, Katherine?” He soliloquized and threw it into the trash can.Then he glanced at his opened computer screen at the test result the doctor in charge had forward to him, it was a 99% match, he had already received this a few minutes before Caroline walked into that door.He glanced at Caroline. “I want to you find out who sent this parcel, trace it down to the person behind it!” Alexander said with a frown on his face and Caroline nodded and walked out to carry out his order.Alexander picke
“Kyle, you are running late, what are you doing in your room?” Katherine called out, she had finished dressing for work and had also dressed Kyle for daycare too, she glanced around and couldn’t find him in the living room.“I am coming mom, just want to grab my bag!” Kyle called out, Kyle who was in the room put his hair brush into a nylon and put it into his bag pack.“Hurry up!” She adjusted her hair and just then, she saw Kyle running out of the room to her. “Let’s go.” She stretched her hand and he took her hand as they made their way out of the door only to hear a car horn and turned in the direction to see Alexander step out of the car.“Hop in, I will give you a ride.” Alexander told Katherine, his eyes fell on Kyle who waved at him with a smile, Alexander smiled back.It’s been a week since he last picked Kyle from school, after that day, Kyle didn’t go with him whenever he showed up at school because he did not want his mother to be angry anymore, although, he usually smiled
Katherine shut her eyes, all her effort to hide her son, all the effort she had put up to make sure Alexander didn’t see them, didn’t find out about Kyle, she won’t let those effort come to waste, whereas, she doubts Alexander knew the truth.“Don’t make me laugh, Alexander, this child isn’t yours, we never had a child, remember?” She tightened her grip on Kyle.“He said he doesn’t have a father,” Alexander told her and Katherine looked at Kyle wondering how much he had told this man. “We have to talk, Katherine…”“We have nothing to talk about.” Katherine told him and turned to Kyle. “Let’s go home, Kyle.” She quickly walked out of the restaurant with Kyle, Alexander didn’t follow, he knew he has to discuss what he has to say privately from Kyle’s hearing, and there was no way he would ever let the matter go, if Kyle was his son, he won’t give up.Katherine walked into the apartment with Kyle and shut the door, locking the door as if there was someone after her, then Kyle watched thi
Alexander and Kyle sat down in a table reserved in a classy restaurant as they both ate, Alexander had skipped lunch because he knew he would eat with Kyle once he picked him up from school, he watched Kyle eat and couldn’t stop smiling when he watched how well Kyle ate.After getting his full, Kyle looked up at Alexander and exhaled sharply. “Now tell me, Mr. what do you mean when you say you were my father?” His question were so direct that it surprised Alexander.No one around him had ever had the courage to ask him questions without lowering their gaze when they spoke, but Kyle had said this while staring into his eyes.“Um…” Alexander slowly scratched the corner of his brows. “You look so much like me, I couldn’t help calling you son.” He leaned close and then looked at Celeb.“That doesn’t mean you should claim to be my father, there are lot of people who look alike around the world, and I have often hear people say I look like Ruben, Gary, Ben, Asher, Cory, and many others, so
Celeb and Katherine meet at the restaurant they had set up for lunch, they both sat across each other after ordering a meal, Celeb didn’t stop staring at Katherine, and Katherine who noticed it, glanced up at him with raised brows.“Why do yo keep staring?” She asked, tucking her hair behind her ear.“You won’t blame me, you left for three years and I couldn’t see you at all, so let me stare at you in peace.” His brows were together and lowered, his anger at her was clear.“Come on, Celeb, I have apologized, and I am eating lunch with you now.” She pointed and Celeb nodded his head, his eyebrows slowly relaxed.“Fine, I will let you get away with it,” He sipped his juice. “So, tell me, how has three years being, you just left, where did you go?” He asked.“I was at Italy, studying to be précised.” She informed him and Celeb paused his lips.“You graduated from the best university from what I heard, what else were you studying for?” He leaned closed to the table, wanting to catch up on
Katherine took Kyle to the daycare, after processing his papers, the teacher stood aside while she squatted next to him, she adjusted his clothe and slowly smoothen his hair, then he looked at his face. “You will be alright, right?” She asked and he nodded.“Yes, mom, I will be alright.” He said, then tilted his head when he saw the worried line on is mother’s brows. “Come on mom, I am serious, I will be alright, you don’t have to worry.”“It’s just that I feel so bad sending you to a daycare immediately we arrived here, I should let you familiarize yourself with this city first…”“Mom, you have to work, and I also want to make friends quickly, and you should stop worrying about me, I will be fine, whereas I will see you later today when you come to pick me up.” He flashed her a smile and Katherine smiled.“How did you get so big?” She still thinks of him as the small kid she always nurse around, but now, he looked so matured.Kyle embraced his mother and kissed her cheek. “You should
