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
Katherine made her way to the rooftop during lunch break, she has been feeling funny in her stomach and she felt suffocated in the office, whereas, she lacked appetite to eat lunch, and this looked like the most quiet place to be at the moment.Although she was feeling ill, she couldn’t help but think of something else that was bothering her, she took out her phone and dialed Alexander’s number, the call rang at the other side of the line, but there was no response.She called twice more, but the call was still unanswered, her heart ached as she put down her phone, her eyebrows were pulled down and furrowed. “He is ignoring me, I guess it’s time to tell him the truth, I have to tell him tonight.” She pressed her lips together and closed her eyes momentarily.The opulent mansion loomed before Rita and Vivian as they stepped out of the car, greeted by the crisp evening air. The butler, dressed in a sharply tailored suit, guided them through the grand entrance and into the spacious foyer
A taxi pulled over at the entrance of Alexander’s mansion, and Katherine stepped out of the taxi, she didn’t walk in yet, it was already dark, she glanced at the building, and let out a sharp sigh.Alexander had ignored all of her calls, he didn’t even return any which was unlike him, she knew he was acting indifferent, although she still has no clue of his reason for acting that way, but she had made up her mind to tell him the truth, about everything and end their marriage.Swallowing hard, she stepped forward, without glancing at the garage, she made her way in, it was already dark so Alexander should be home by now, she pushed the front door open and walked in only to meet the cold gaze of Alexander’s mother.“Mrs. Jane.” Katherine was surprised to see here there and at this time of the day. “When did you arrive?” She raised the corner of her brows and stepped forward only to receive a slap across the face.“How dare you?!” Jane barked in anger and Katherine who wasn’t expecting t
Alexander woke up the next morning and glanced at the bed, Katherine wasn’t laying there, he had been too angry and didn’t even eat dinner before going to bed after showering last night, he didn’t know if she came into the room or not.He slowly touched the side of her bed, it was cold, he sighed knowing that she didn’t spend the night on the bed, he glanced on the sofa, it was empty.He got out of bed and walked out of the room, he checked the other rooms, but Katherine wasn’t there, he made his way downstairs to the living room, she still wasn’t there.“Good morning, Mr. Alexander.” A maid who was cleaning greeted him when she saw him, he turned his gaze to her, he wanted to walk away, but stopped and turned to her.“Have you seen my wife?” He asked her and the maid glanced at him.“Yes, I saw her at the garden.” She told him and Alexander quickly made his way out of the door, he went straight to the garden and there, he halted when he saw Katherine sitting on the bench in the garde
One week laterKatherine pulled her luggage out of Alexander’s mansion, she glanced at the mansion while Carlos helped her put her things into his truck, her eyes were wet as she stared at it, she could still recall the day she returned with Alexander from their honeymoon.She sniffed and ran her hand through her hair, if it weren’t for the lies, if it weren’t for the pain she was causing Alexander, she wouldn’t have divorced him, she wouldn’t give up like this, it was all lies, the lies was what separated them.“We have to go, Katherine.” Carlos told her and she glanced at him and nodded. He opened the passenger’s door and she got in, he shot the door and went over to the driver’s side of the car.Alexander stood by the window upstairs staring down at Katherine, his eyes were red and wet, his lips quivered as he watched the car roll away, then he broke down in tears.He never wanted to let her go, she had been too weak lately, she doesn’t eat much and she refused to look at him, she
Katherine was seen throwing up and Carlos rushed over and held her hair up, she glanced at him, he rolled some tissue and handed it over to her, she slowly wiped her lips and he helped her to her bed, she has been feeling ill since the day he brought her home.She barely ate anything, even when he made porridge for her, she ends up throwing them all up. “This won’t do Katherine, you need to see a doctor, I will get the car ready…” He turned to leave but Katherine held his hand and he looked at her with raised brows.“You should go to work, I will go for some check up on my own after I rest a little.” She held his gaze, her expression was pale and her breathing husky.Carlos shook his head. “That’s what you told me the previous day, but still you didn’t go, and now you are looking worse than before.” He furrowed his brows.“I will go today, I promise.” She exhaled sharply. “You should hurry up and leave, you are running late.” Katherine told him and he slowly squeezed her hand tenderly
Three years later“Uncle Carlos!” A three year old boy ran with his small legs as he rushed over to Carlos who had just came to the airport to pick them up, Carlos seeing him squat and picked him up whirling him in his embrace.“Oh, Kyle, look how big you are now.” He slowly put him down and looked at his little handsome face with a smile on his face.“I should be big for my mother.” Kyle said in his little voice and Katherine approached them.“Kyle, I asked you to be careful while running.” Katherine who had come after him when he ran said while breathing heavily.“Mom, my legs are now strong, I am not that little one year old boy.” He said softly and Katherine chuckled and ruffled his hair.Carlos got to his feet and pulled Katherine into his embrace. “Welcome back.” He leaned back and she smiled at him.“Thank you.” She told him as he grabbed her luggage and turned to Kyle who held his mother’s hand.“Let’s go to the car.” He told them and they strolled over to the car, after getti
