Celeb pulled his car over at the parking lot of Marcus's apartment, he didn't care about coming here to speak to Vivian.He had called Katherine and had been worried about her since she hasn't picked up ever since she left their apartment, so he called Vivian, she also didn't pick up, that was the reason he was here.He knew where Vivian was, but didn't know where Katherine was taken to, or if she was in trouble, or doing okay.He stepped out of the car and looked at Marcus' apartment with a frown on his face. His only reason for coming here was to get information from Vivian since his parents were not ready to release any information to him.He walked over to the door and rang the doorbell, then he waited for a response from the cake after two minutes.The door was opened and Vivian's first reaction was to blink her eyes in shock to see Celeb standing there."Celeb?" Her lips parted, her brother didn't like Marcus, and he had never come to this place before. How he got the address of
Katherine had always enjoyed taking care of herself, whether it be through a regular skincare routine or experimenting with different hairstyles when her parent was alive, but those were the least thoughts that crossed her mind the past few days.She lost her parents, her home, and the company and was left with no cash, who has anything to worry about that now, not until Gavin told her they have somewhere to stop by?She was surprised when they arrived at a trendy beauty salon after a long drive from the apartment she was sent to.Although she didn't want to be happy about this, she couldn't help her excitement, she has lots of dreams, of coming to such a beauty salon, but her late parents were not as wealthy as the Swift.Gavin, on the other hand, was determined to help her look her best, it was her wedding tomorrow and he was carrying out Mrs. Swift's orders. He had also noticed the recent stress has taking a toll on Katherine's complexion and felt this was something that would hel
Katherine walked towards her bedroom after eating dinner, Gavin walked next to her with a few other maids behind her.She glanced out into the midnight sky to see the full moon rising, but shortly it was covered by clouds, her heart was heavy so she heaved a sigh and looked forward again.Gavin gazed at her, he could tell she was anxious, he knew how hard it was on the night of a wedding, and how lonely it would be for her, not being with any family member."It's okay to be nervous." He said, breaking the silence and she turned her eyes to look at him, the corner of her brows slightly raised. "My wife said she also felt this way when she was getting married to me." The corner of Gavin's lips spread with a smile.Katherine sucked her lower lips. "You have a wife?" This was the last thing she expected to hear, he seemed so young, although older than her, she was only twenty-one, but what surprised her most was the fact that he didn't leave here to be with his wife for the two days she
Katherine woke up on her wedding day with a knot in her stomach. Today was the day she was going to meet her future husband for the first time, a cold billionaire who she knew nothing about. She had been nervous for weeks, and now the day had finally arrived. She got out of bed and walked over to the door, pushing it open, she saw the maids waiting at the door and Gavin was there too, they immediately greeted her with smiles on their faces, but there was no smile on hers.She didn't want to worry about this day, but it was finally here, and now she couldn't chase the feelings that tighten her stomach."Allow the maids to help you out today, it is their last day serving you." He told her and she nodded, not that she had any choice to say no.Immediately, the maids walked into her room, preparing a warm bath for her, and picking out a dress for her.Katherine was surprised that they didn't bring her wedding dress for her, but just a casual outfit. She slipped into them and walked out o
Katherine's mind and heart already were against it but she couldn't take her eyes off him. As he walked down the aisle, she hoped that maybe, just maybe, they would click. But as soon as he stood next to her, she felt the coldness emanating from him. Although he has superseded everything she had heard about him, he didn't look horrible, he wasn't crippled too.Rather, he was handsome, too handsome for a man, she couldn't help but take a peek at him, but his face remained stoic, and he barely even looked at her.She swallowed hard, and despite her internal turmoil, Katherine mustered the courage to exchange vows with this stranger beside her. Her voice wavered as she parted her lips to say her vow to him. "I, Katherine Jonas." In order not to get caught, I have to take up the surname of Jonas rather than my father's name, Edward."Promised to honor and respect Alexander Swift, to build a life together through love and understanding, and to stay right by his side, forever." This was a
Katherine had always dreamed of her wedding day, of the perfect dress, the beautiful flowers, and most importantly, the dance with her new husband. But as she looked into the eyes of her stoic and cold husband, she couldn't help but feel a sense of tension and unease.She could feel Alexander's grip on her hand, firm and unyielding, as they began to move to the rhythm of the music.Katherine tried to relax and enjoy the moment, but Alexander's stony expression made it difficult. She felt like she was dancing with a stranger, someone who didn't know her or care about her.As they swayed back and forth, Katherine couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, but instead, she felt alone and isolated."It's the first time I am dancing in a hall surrounded by guests. I have been to parties with my parents but didn't dance. I wish I had done this more often, have you?" She tried to make conversation again since he had spoken first t
Katherine glanced at Alexander who had lifted a wine glass and was sipping it now, she blinked and glanced around to see all attention turned to Alexander.She scoffed. I am dressed in this pretty dress, but he has to draw all the attention to himself! She pouts.Katherine shook the thoughts off her head, she was getting jealous of a man right now. Then again, they have all right to stare at him, at least it's the first time anyone was seeing him."I didn't know you would look like this, I wouldn't have wasted all my energy worrying about what you look like or asking Robin to take the risk of finding out more about you." She mumbled to herself and turned around only to come face to face with Rita and Jonas who had come to her."Mr. Jonas…" Her lips parted and she blinked, then her eyes fell on the angry face of Rita."You must be happy," Rita gritted her teeth. "Your new husband is nothing like we have pictured." She glanced over Katherine's shoulder to Alexander who was being approac
Jane Swift walked over to Alexander who was standing next to the reception table with a glass of wine in his hand, he slowly sipped it."Hi, son," Jane said softly as if she was introducing herself for the first time to her child.Alexander turned his eyes at her, his expression indifferent and unreadable. "Mrs. Swift." That was the only thing he has known to call her, calling her mother sounded strange to him.Jane closed her eyes momentarily and let out a soft sigh, his words were distant, how he had called her name sounded like how her business partners called her.She forced a smile and looked at him. "How do you like your wife?" She asked him, she had noticed his lack of interest in her all through the wedding but still wanted to hear his opinion.Alexander glanced down at the bottom of the glass. "You chose her as my bride," he raised his cold gaze to meet hers. "Do I have to like her?" His lips moved and she felt the coldness emanating from him.A shiver ran down her spine, she
