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
Jane Swift, the confident and esteemed President of Swift Enterprise Inc., beamed with pride as she walked into the impressive boardroom. It was a momentous day for her, as she was about to introduce her son, Alexander, to the company's board of directors and key executives. .The board members, seated around the sleek, polished table, looked up with curiosity and warmth as Jane and Alexander walked into the room, Katherine followed gracefully, exuding a warm and welcoming presence. She had an air of sophistication that complemented Alexander's confidence perfectly.The board members, seated around the table, greeted the trio with genuine interest and respect, but their eye fixated on Alexander since he was her hidden son.Jane's aura of leadership was evident as she took her place at the head of the table, and Alexander stood confidently by her side, wearing a well-tailored suit that matched his mother's professional attire and Katherine stood next to him.."Ladies and gentlemen," Ja
Katherine closed her eyes momentarily trying to recall what her late father has thought her, it has been a while, but then she had paid attention to every detail and how well they had spoken in the meeting.She opened her eyes and flashed a smile to them before parting her lips to speak. “Thank you for the question, as the Technology Innovation Coordinator, I would be pivotal in supporting the Head of Technology Innovation and ensuring the smooth execution of the Tech Hub’s projects.”Jane looked up at her when she began speaking, surprise to see she has no fear in her eyes and only boldness in them, her eyes spark with a sense of pride that the silence she has expected Katherine to be was covered with this great speech.Katherine continued. “My strong organizational and communication skills, coupled with my knowledge of both marketing and technology, would enable me to contribute significantly to the Tech Hub’s success in driving Innovation and technological advancement within Swift
Katherine walked out of the impressive Swift Enterprise Inc. building, her heart still racing from the tense encounter with Jane, the board of directors and Alexander Swift. Drawing a sharp breath, she glanced up at the towering structure, an epitome of power and success, and couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She shook her head, trying to dispel the negative thoughts swirling in her mind."I am nothing outside, a stranger no one even knows. Without standing next to Alexander, no one will know I am his wife," she muttered to herself, her lips forming a faint pout. The weight of her marriage, which seemed more like a business transaction than a loving union, was becoming increasingly suffocating.“This should be a blessing,” Her eyes shifted to the parking lot, expecting to see her usual chauffeur-driven car, but to her surprise, there was no vehicle waiting for her, nor was there a bodyguard by her side."A simple life," she breathed with a hint of a smile. "Alexander must feel
