After breakfast with Alexander, Katherine walked back into the hotel room, they have not spoken again after their conversation earlier today.She fell asleep in tears and was awakened for breakfast at past ten. She had dressed in a nice red dress that stopped right above her knees. She had found it among the dresses arranged in the wardrobe.They suited her perfectly as if it was made just for her, she looked beautiful in the dress, but Alexander didn't even look at her, no compliment her, all he did was eat in silence and indifference.Katherine exhales softly as she looks at the lonely room. It was spacious, she was here and he was here too, but it felt so empty.Even her stay at the other building with Gavin has been eventful and less lonely than this, it all looks like being married to empty spaces.Katherine glanced at the balcony to find Alexander there, she didn't want to be stuck in this place for all her honeymoon days.They weren't even romantically together, if he had kisse
Katherine felt a sense of despair wash over her, wondering if their marriage was already over before it had even begun. "What do we do now?"If he could tell his parents he doesn't want this anymore then they could get a divorce and go their separate ways.Alexander exhaled softly and walked over to her, sitting down he faced her, looking at her face. "I don't want this marriage, and I am sure you don't want it either.""We barely know each other," His penetrating gaze bored into her wet one. "All I want is to inherit my parents' company and be free from their hold, and also from this marriage." He leaned close to her. "We can't be romantically involved, you and I know we have no feelings for each other, I don't even know what that feeling is," he searched her eyes."So, let’s break up after I achieve my aim, then you can have as much money as you demand, I will make sure to meet your demand, but all this fun, romance, and honeymoon stuff, let's not think about it anymore, we have to
Rita finished clearing the table after breakfast, having only eaten with Jonas since Celeb was refusing to consume any meal prepared by his mother. He was still deeply offended about the marriage, unhappy with how things had turned out, and particularly angry with his mother who was still angry at Katherine.The attitude his mother who had coerced Katherine into the union put up after discovering that the groom was handsome.With the dishes washed, Rita ascended the stairs and paused at Celeb's bedroom door. She took a deep breath before knocking, but there was no response. Pushing the door open, she entered to find Celeb already grabbing his coat, casting a frown in her direction."Where are you going?" she asked, observing his attire.Celeb glanced at her momentarily before looking away, retrieving his car keys. "If I want to survive, I need to find a job," he replied, his tone tinged with determination."No one is denying you meals, Celeb. We have money now, so there's no need for
Soft music plays in the background as Alexander sit across from each other at a dimly lit table. The restaurant is elegantly decorated with crystal chandeliers and tasteful artwork.Alexander is dressed impeccably in a tailored charcoal gray suit, complemented by a crisp white dress shirt and a sleek black tie. His outfit exudes sophistication and refinement, perfectly matching the upscale ambiance of the restaurant.Waiters bustle around attending to other tables, their eyes occasionally glancing in Alexander and Katherine's direction.From here Katherine could hear the attentive waitresses, observe Alexander from a distance, she glanced at the waitress who can't help but be captivated by his appearance.Katherine didn't blame her, Alexander was indeed handsom, but from here i could hear her whispers to her fellow server, who stands nearby."Look at him, Melissa. So debonair and effortlessly stylish. He's like a modern-day James Bond."Melissa nodded in agreement. "You're right, Lucy
Rita paced back and forth in her living room, her heart heavy with worry, she haven spoken to Vivian ever since she asked her to come home with her boyfriend.Vivian has ignored her call the last time she tried calling, and Celeb who she told Marcus address since he asked her, didn't bring any report to her.With trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed Vivian's number, praying for her to answer, at least now that the wedding was over and Jonas has decided to open the boutique for her.After a few rings, the call connected, and Vivian's voice came through the line, filled with a mixture of surprise and hesitation."Vivian…" Rita's voice trembled with concern as she struggled to find the right words."Mom? What's going on? Is everything alright?" Vivian asked her from the other side of the line."Vivian, it's... it's over." Rita spoke up. "The wedding is done, and we're all here waiting for you, please, you need to come back home now." Rita have missed Vivian's presence so m
Alexander stepped out of the bathroom, a thin veil of steam trailing behind him, the air clinging to his damp skin. His gaze fell upon Katherine, who was sitting at the small desk in their hotel room, absorbed in her list of Parisian attractions. Her face, a mask of excitement, lit up as she envisioned their upcoming adventures around Paris.It's this late, what the hell is she doing? Alexander exhaled sharply and shook his head.Katherine's heart raced with anticipation, her fingers tracing the words on the paper as she meticulously planned their supposed tour. She looked up, a forced smile gracing her lips upon seeing Alexander's presence. "Oh, there you are, Alexander. I've been researching all the wonderful places we can visit in Paris tomorrow.""I can't wait to immerse ourselves in the beauty and history of this city! It's going to be an incredible day, don't you think?"Alexander, his expression detached and indifferent, he nodded, his eyes flickering briefly over the list be
Vivian stood in the doorway of her family's apartment, a mix of anticipation and trepidation coursing through her veins. She had returned home, hoping to find her loved ones waiting for her with open arms. However, the sight that greeted her was an empty and silent space, void of the familiar presence she had longed for.Her heart sank, a wave of sadness washing over her. Where were Celeb and father? Why weren't they here to welcome me home? Doubts and worries began to cloud her mind, threatening to overshadow her joy at being reunited with her family.Just as despair started to creep into her soul, Rita, emerged from the kitchen, her face adorned with a gentle smile. She stepped forward, her arms open wide, and enveloped Vivian in a warm embrace. "Welcome home, my darling, we missed you so much."Vivian clung to her mother, finding solace in her embrace. Her voice was filled with a mix of relief and concern. "Mom, where is Dad? And where is Celeb?" She scanned the room.Rita's smi
Katherine slowly opened her eyes, the morning light gently filtering through the curtains. As her vision cleared, she saw Alexander already dressed in well-tailored suit, sitting on the couch with a magazine in his hand. His stoic expression seemed impenetrable, yet there was a subtle radiance about him that captivated her.A smile formed on Katherine's lips as she recalled the previous day agreement, how he agreed to go on a tour with her.She couldn't help but admire Alexander, even in his indifference. His presence commanded attention, and there was a quiet strength that drew her to him.Katherine hurriedly made her way to the bathroom, her mind raced with self-directed frustration. She cursed herself for losing track of time the night before, knowing that her late-night reading and tour preparations had led to her waking up late. In that moment, she berated herself for squandering precious moments of their limited time together in Paris.The weight of her desire to make the most
