Paris has been one of the best places Katherine wished to come to, be it for a vacation, or just schooling, but things didn’t work out as she has planned, she has heard lots of rumors about this place, but actually seeing it gives off a whole new vibes.Paris, the city of love, had always held a certain allure for Katherine, its cobblestone streets, charming café, and iconic landmarks whispered promises of romance and enchantment.She has always wanted to come here with a man she loves, precisely Carlos, she had even envisioned stolen kisses beneath the Eiffel Tower with him, walking hand-in-hand strolling along the Seine with him, it was a great dream, but it never crossed her mind that it would be with this stoic and cold man.However, reality proved to be far less dreamlike than she had anticipated, she was with her husband, but it seem like she wasn’t, it was after all going to be another cold walk again.Katherine glanced at Alexander who sat next to her in the backseat of the fl
Katherine's eyes sparkled as she looked upon the Pont Neuf, the oldest standing bridge in Paris. She took out her cell phone to take pictures of herself, after a few selfie, she glanced at them and pouts her lips.A full body picture will be nice, it’s such an awesome sight. She turned to ask Alexander to take a shoot of her, but when she turned to share her thoughts, she found him engrossed in his phone, oblivious to the breathtaking view before him.A mixture of frustration and sadness tugged at Katherine's heart. Was he disinterested in her, in Paris, or both? Doubts plagued her mind, threatening to cast a pall over their honeymoon.Undeterred, Katherine resolved to immerse herself in the magic of Paris, even if Alexander seemed immune to its allure.“Let’s visit the next on the list.” She told him and he glanced up at her.He lets out a small sigh obviously not feeling interested anymore. “Where? Aren’t you okay with the once we have seen so far?” He questioned her.Katherine low
As the warm rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains, Celeb slowly opened his eyes, stretching his arms and letting out a contented yawn. He glanced around his room and lets out a sigh.He was still here, in this room where he found no more joy in staying, and he wished today would be a brand new day, full of possibilities and surprises.Drawing a sharp breath, he glanced at his game device, he has always played game whenever he wakes up, he could stay up late playing game and wake up to continue, but ever since Katherine got married, ever since she was cheated, he lost every joy in it.Perhaps, it was interest in staying at this mansion with the very people who did that to her that he lost. He has been on a job hunt, eating at home was the last thing he does this day, maybe the joy he once lost will be found when he moves out of this building.He drew a sharp breath and lay on his side, with a sense of anticipation he reached for his phone on the nightstand when he noticed a bl
Jane, sits at the head of a long table, surrounded by directors engaged in a discussion about upcoming projects. The room brims with excitement and creative energy, Jane glance at one of the Directors on her right, a visionary board member."Mr. Kim, let's hear what you have for us today." She said and he sat up straight, ready to present his ideas with enthusiasm."Mrs. President, I have an exciting concept for our upcoming project." Mr. Kim said while sending files over to the other boards of directors."I believe we should leverage emerging technologies to enhance our customer experience. By implementing AI-driven chatbots, we can streamline customer interactions and provide personalized recommendations, ultimately boosting customer satisfaction." He said.Jane leans forward, intrigued by Mr. Kim's proposal, "Mr. Kim, I love the innovative approach! Enhancing our customer experience through AI technology aligns perfectly with our goal of delivering exceptional service." She said e
The morning air greeted Celeb with a refreshing breeze as he made his way towards the game company's office. The streets were abuzz with the hustle and bustle of daily life, but Celeb's mind was solely focused on the possibilities that awaited him.Though his stomach growled in protest, Celeb barely noticed the absence of breakfast. The exhilaration of embarking on this new journey outweighed any hunger pangs. The adrenaline coursing through his veins seemed to fuel him more than any meal could.As he arrived at the office building, Celeb couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The sleek glass doors beckoned him inside, promising a world where imagination and creativity thrived. With a deep breath, he stepped through the threshold, ready to embark on this new chapter of his life.Little did Celeb know that this was just the beginning of an incredible adventure, one where he would contribute to the creation of captivating games and leave his mark on the industry.As he took his first st
Katherine sat on the plush couch, her fingers absentmindedly tapping against the armrest. It had been another mundane day, filled with silence and monotony.Alexander was immersed in the book he was reading, his attention captured by the pages, while she was left to her own devices, feeling the weight of boredom settling upon her.She knew ever since she lost her parents, she has been bored, but then when she moved into Jonas’s apartment with his family, Celeb has made it less boring for her, and that she was indeed grateful to him.The past few days has been boring, staying in that huge building with Gavin and the maids was so much better than now, the only time she has had a little fun was the day they both went outing in Paris, but the next few days were just a boring and lonely one.She glanced over at Alexander, his brows furrowed in concentration as he turned the pages with practiced ease. He seemed oblivious to the world around him, completely engrossed in the fictional realm w
Celeb returned home after an exhilarating day at GameCo, the echoes of creativity and innovation still resounding in his mind. As he stepped through the front door, he was greeted by the comforting aroma of his mother's home-cooked dinner.If it were a few weeks ago, he would rush over and have the first bite without washing his hand, but no matter how comforting the aroma of the meal was, he has totally lost interest in any of it, it’s been over a week since he last ate his mother’s meal."Welcome home, Celeb!" Rita called out with a warm smile, her eyes gleaming with pride. "Dinner's ready. Come and eat!"However, Celeb glanced at her with coldness in his eyes, his eyes darted to his father who was just coming out from his room, and then at Vivian who glanced at him from the dining table, just looking at how normal all of them look made his blood boil.His forehead furrowed and his lips moved coldly. "I've already eaten,” He brushed past her and walked up the stairs.Rita's smile fa
Alexander turned his eyes back at Katherine and his eyes darkened, she saw her smiles and it only made him scoff as he listened to her conversation to whoever was at the other side of the line."I always knew you had incredible talent and passion for gaming since I noticed how you stayed up playing all the time. This is the perfect opportunity for you to shine and showcase your skills. I'm so proud of you!" Katherine told him with a smile on her face.Intrigued, a myriad of thoughts began to swirl in Alexander’s mind as he glanced at Katherine catching a glimpse of her radiant smile again.Even as he maintained his usual nonchalant demeanor, he couldn't help but wonder who was on the other end of the line, eliciting such genuine joy from Katherine. His eyes subtly studied her features, trying to decipher the source of her happiness.A mix of curiosity and a tinge of envy coursed through his veins. Was it a close friend, sharing some delightful news? Or perhaps a loved one, their conve
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
