The atmosphere inside the plane felt heavy and tense as Katherine and Alexander sat side by side, each absorbed in their own thoughts.The plane soared through the sky, the hum of the engines drowning out any semblance of conversation between Katherine and Alexander. The excitement and joy that had marked the beginning of their honeymoon in Paris had long faded away, leaving them with a loveless void that seemed to echo around them.Katherine couldn't help but steal glances at Alexander, her mind still haunted by the passionate kiss they had shared at the Eiffel Tower. She desperately wanted to understand what it meant, but the coldness in his demeanor made her apprehensive about broaching the subject.Meanwhile, Alexander's mind was preoccupied with the looming responsibility of managing his family's company. He knew that his mother had her own ambitions for the business and was adamant about controlling every aspect of it.He wanted the life he has lost, he wanted to find out the r
Rita clutched her phone tightly in her hand, her heart pounding with each unanswered call to her son, Celeb. It had been days since he left home, and despite numerous attempts to reach him, he remained elusive, not responding to any of their messages or calls.Tears welled up in Rita's eyes as she sank onto the couch, feeling the weight of the situation crushing her spirit. It had all started with Katherine, she knew Celeb didn’t have any feelings for Katherine, but she was angry that he had distanced himself from his family, cutting off all communication because of her.“Rita…” Jonas held her hand and she turned her wet eyes to him."He's gone, Jonas," she whispered to her husband, her voice choked with sorrow. "I don't know where he is or what's happened to him. It's like he's disappeared from our lives."Jonas sat down beside her, wrapping his arms around her in an attempt to offer comfort. He too was deeply worried about their son, but he tried to stay strong for Rita. "We'll find
As they went on to the roller coasters, their laughter filled the air as they experienced the rush of adrenaline together. The roller coaster twists and turns mirrored the roller coaster of emotions Vivian had been on that day, but with Marcus by her side, she felt safe and supported, like nothing could shake her.During a break between rides, they found a quiet spot on a bench, away from the crowd. Vivian took a deep breath, her eyes searching Marcus's face as she decided to open up about her family situation."I miss him, Marcus," Vivian confessed, her voice tinged with sadness. "Celeb's always been my big brother, and it hurts to see him gone like this."Marcus gently squeezed her hand, offering a reassuring smile. "I know it's tough. But sometimes, people need space to figure things out for themselves, just like you did in the past. It doesn't mean he loves you any less."Tears welled up in Vivian's eyes, and she blinked them away. "I just wish he could forgive me, and let go of w
As the grand doors of the mansion swung open, Alexander and Katherine were met by the warm embrace of soft golden lights and the delicate aroma of a sumptuous meal.Jane stood before them with a smile plastered on her lips. “Welcome home, my darlings! I'm so glad to have you both here. The maids have prepared a delightful meal for you, and your room is all set.” Her eyes darted from Katherine to her son whose expression remained cold.Jane's enthusiasm was met with a cold look from Alexander, who seemed exhausted from the long journey and overwhelmed by the grandeur of the mansion.“Thank you, but we've just returned from our honeymoon. It's late, and we're both exhausted. We'd like to rest, if you don't mind.”Jane's expression faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered, not wanting to impose on their private moments. “Of course, my dear, I didn't mean to intrude. Just know that I'm here for you whenever you need me.”Alexander rolled his eyes, and scoffed. I am no longer a kid
Katherine drew a sharp breath and glanced around the living room, Jane has left her with words that has stirred up her emotions, she never thought coming back from her honeymoon with Alexander will be like this, she thought she was going to be finally free from him.She thought he would go out for work early in the morning and come back late at night, and they would avoid each other, but judging by Jane’s words about accompanying Alexander tomorrow, she felt it would be another hard step.Katherine drew a sharp breath and got to her feet, she felt tired, a part of her was concerned with many questions lingering on her mind, but a part of her wanted to fall asleep, deep that she forgets everything about this marriage she was in and about Jane’s words.She picked up her handbag and glanced at the snack the maid has brought, she didn’t take any while talking with Jane, and Jane too didn’t eat any of the snack, Katherine decided to take a bite, it was a honey biscuit, and it tasted nice.
Katherine couldn't deny the intense admiration she felt for Alexander's physique. She found herself captivated by the sculpted lines of his body, each curve and muscle drawing her eyes like a masterpiece on display.From the moment she saw him standing there with water droplets cascading down his damp hair and over his chiseled chest, she was mesmerized. His presence exuded an air of strength and confidence that was alluring.She couldn't help but trace the path of the water with her eyes as it rolled down his naked chest, disappearing tantalizingly at his waist, where the towel clung to his lean form. The sight sent shivers down her spine and made her heart race.In her mind, she found herself admiring the dedication and discipline it must have taken to achieve such a well-defined body. The way his muscles flexed and moved as he shifted, revealing the result of hours spent honing his physique, was nothing short of impressive.She knew he has hit the gym when he woke up every morning
The soft morning light filtered through the curtains of the room Katherine slept in, gently nudging her awake. As she stretched and yawned, she glanced at the clock, realizing that it was time to start preparing for the day ahead.If it were other days of her single life with her parents, she would have slept in, but recalling that today was Alexander's first day at the company, and she was suppose to accompany him just as Jane has told her.She knew she has to get out of bed trying so hard to forget all about last night, laying in the bed alone after weeks of sleeping on the couch was relaxing, and now a part of her felt grateful that he asked her to use the other room.Meanwhile, in the adjacent room, Alexander's alarm clock beeped insistently. He groggily reached over and silenced it, suddenly realizing the significance of the day. His heart raced with excitement and nervousness as he anticipated stepping into the corporate world for the first time.Katherine hopped out of bed and
James arrived at the mansion parking lot and Alexander and Katherine stepped out of the mansion and James opened the back side of the car, and Alexander walked in with Katherine.James walked into the driver’s side of the car and drove off. “Mr. Alexander, your mother asked me to hand over a file for you to memorize, you will find it by the side of your seat.” He informed Alexander.Alexander reached for it without looking at Katherine who glanced at him wondering if there were any files waiting for her too, she wondered what her task at the company would be today, if Alexander would be introduced to the company today.The car was pulled over in the Swift Enterprise Inc. parking lot and James turned his eyes to Alexander. “We are here, Mr. Alexander.” James said respectfully and Alexander glanced up from the file he was holding, he looked out of the window and so did Katherine who blinked at the building before her.Swift Enterprise Inc. stood as a striking and modern testament to suc
