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
Alexander looked at her, he also had things to speak to her about and she arrived just in time.He pointed at the chair in the centre of the room. "Have a seat." He offered his expression indifferent and unlike what Vivian had seen.Vivian drew a sharp breath and walked over to the chair in the middle of the room, she sat down and Alexander joined her, sitting across the table.His eyes stern as he looked at her, making her lower her gaze. "Speak, what do you have to say?" He asked, he was angry in his heart, this betrayal ran deep, and the Jonas family were all involved in this except Vivian says otherwise.Vivian swallowed hard and began after arranging the lies she had to tell. "Your wife, Katherine, she is not my sister, and she is not related to us in anyway." She pretended to sniffle and planned things well, tears well up in her eyes.She expected Asher to have a reaction on his face, but his expression was unreadable, like he already knew the truth.Vivian blinked. How much doe
The driver pulled over in Alexander's mansion parking lot, James got out of the passenger side of the car and opened the backseat door for Alexander."We are here." James told him and Alexander stepped out of the car but did not head in, rather he stood staring at the building, everything that he had discovered clouded his mind."Mr. Alexander, is there something wrong?" James asked and Alexander glanced at him."No, you can head home now." He told him and walked into the building. James made sure he was inside before getting into the car and driving off.Alexander stepped into the living room, and just like always, he was greeted by the maids and they asked if they should arrange dinner, but he said he has no appetite.He headed upstairs, arriving at the door, he paused his finger at the doorknob, hesitating.He reached for the door again, but before he could push it open, the door was opened from inside and Katherine was face to face with him."Alexander, you are home." She said sof
In the car, Carlos turned to Katherine who was going through the files at the passenger's seat. Grace was at the company working on other things, so he was going there with only Katherine."You are still thinking of what to do?" He asked her and she glanced up at him."No, this file has covered all that up, I know exactly what the meeting is about." She said softly and Carlos shook his head."I am talking about what to do with Alexander, with your marriage, isn't that what you have been thinking about that has made you forget about the meeting today?" He raised the corner of his brows and turned his attention back on the road.Katherine exhaled sharply and looked down at the file in her hand. "I want to tell him the truth about everything, I want him to know." She said slowly."Why does it sound like you want him to hold onto you?" Carlos frowned. "You are going to divorce him after doing that, won't you?" He glanced at her again.Katherine swallowed hard. "He won't want to be with me
Vivian sat in her office at the boutique, her laptop was turned on in her front, as she kept refreshing her google Internet search.She drew a sharp breath and sighed multiple times. A staff member walked into her office to give her a report. After leaving it, she turned to leave but Vivian called her back."Kate, is there any news on the internet?" She asked."News? What kind of news Ms. Vivian?" The maid asked, raising her brows."A shocking news?" Vivian asked but Kate was puzzled, wondering what Vivian meant. "Don't worry, you may leave." She told her and Kate nod and left the office although she was still bemused.Vivian drew a sharp breath and searched for Katherine on the Web, but it was still the outstanding news of her being the Alexander's wife and daughter-in-law of the Swift family, there was even an outstanding news of her being good at her job.Vivian curled her hand into a fist. "Did Alexander not consider what I said?" She grunted and hit her desk with her hand.She se
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
