“ Dear Ex-Wife, will you marry me Again?” He popped the question while on one knee before me. “ Please say yes to Daddy, Mommy!” The triplets said with a pout, cupping their hands lovely.

View MoreKATERINA Laughter filled the dining hall as we talked about everything and nothing. Paula’s eyes welled up as we each assured her of our unwavering support in her fight against cancer. David, Camilla, and the triplets emphasized their commitment to stand by her through every challenge, every setback, and every victory. She hugged each of us tightly, thanking us for the support and unconditional love. She carefully placed the strands of our hair into a plastic bag, promising to take good care of it. I turned to look at Paula, and she offered me a warm smile. Seeing her so happy warmed my heart. She deserves all the happiness in the world; she’s truly a good person. I hoped the heavens would bless her with a long life because… I still have so much to learn from her. My gaze shifted to the twins, who were chatting and joking with David. A smile touched my lips as I watched them
KATERINA “Good morning,” my lips curved into a big smile. The five of us ended up sleeping on one bed, in Paula’s room. The triplets wanted to sleep with me in one bed because they had missed me so much. For me, I wanted to sleep with Paula, because of how I was feeling yesterday after the intimate conversation that we had.So, we decided that we’re going to sleep on one bed because it's big enough to fit all of us. “Good morning mother,” Arabella said happily. “Hmmm” Asher said, trying to wake up. “Good morning.” Alexander said lazily, rubbing his eyes. The three little ones looked so cute and I couldn’t help but smile to myself. “shhh…” Grandma is still sleeping. Bella whispered, placing her hand on her lips as she gestured for us to keep quiet. “Let's go back to our room and let grandma have some rest.” I whispered back. She stirred in sleep but thankfully, she didn’t wake up. Paula is usually a light sleeper. However, the medication that sh
KATERINA THREE DAYS LATER It has already been three days since Lucas visited the company and the encounter with Stephanie. I scolded my secretary about giving my number to Lucas and she apologized for it, saying she thought we were best friends because he showed her the pictures of us together and we looked so happy, making her convinced and that is why she gave him the number. I asked her to never repeat the mistake again, telling her I won't be too nice next time. I asked Lucas never to call me ever again and I’m glad that he listened because he never bothered me again, which I was grateful for. For Stephanie, we have never bumped into each other again since the encounter at the mall. My lawyer is still following up on the case, updating me the progress. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have begun our descent in Elysium city. Please turn off all portable electronic devices in preparation for landing, be certain your back is straight up and your seatbelt is fastened,” The plane attenda
Chapter 032 LUCAS “ Kate, wait…” She hung up without giving me a chance to speak. It was clear she didn't want to talk to me anymore. Well, at least I heard her voice. That was an assurance that she was doing okay. Even though it hurt a little bit that she had hung up on me and asked me to never call her again. I’m glad that she was doing alright. The memories of how she almost fell on the concrete floor flashed in my mind, making my heart jump in my throat as though it was happening at the moment. I don’t know how it happened but…I found myself on my feet because of the Adrenaline rush, holding her in my arms so tightly and never wanting to let her go. My heart pounded wildly against my ribcage as though it would escape from my chest in the next second. I couldn’t recall when was the last time that I was that scared of losing someone. Watching as Katerina’s life flashed in front of my eyes was far worse than a nightmare. I couldn’t imagine losing her. The mere thought of
KATERINA I laid on my bed, the sheets cold against my skin and the sleep far from my eyes. I have tried all tricks, willing myself to fall asleep but none worked. I was still wide awake in the middle of the night, chain of thoughts buzzing my mind. FLASHBACK The day passed in a blur. However, I didn't enjoy it to the fullest the way I had envisioned it. Well, that is to be expected when that witch Stephanie is around. Despite everything, I tried my best not to let her words get to me. She wanted to slap me like old days but I held her hand mid-air before it came in contact with my cheeks, my grip tightening and she let out a groan in pain. There was no way I was going to allow the witch to have her away. Not this time! My bodyguards stepped between us to protect me from Stephanie but I asked them not to intervene because I wanted to deal with her personally. Even though I didn't want to cause any scene, Stephanie couldn't stop shouting, attracting the attention of the shop a
KATERINA “What are you doing here? Have you been following me?” she asked through gritted teeth and I couldn’t help it but roll my eyes, finding her question ridiculous. “Come on, don’t think high of yourself, Stephanie. Why in the world would I follow you when I have a thousand things to do?” I asked with a raised eyebrow, the corner of my lips curving into a smirk. “Long time no see, don’t pretend you didn’t miss me.” I said sarcastically, the smirk on my lips broadening. Her jaw twitched when she heard my words, making me feel good. “To be honest, I kind of missed you, mother. You were always on my mind, every single day.” I pretended to be emotional, playing around with her mind. It was true she has been on my mind for the past four years. Stephanie rolled her eyes upon hearing my words, not believing me. The truth is, she crossed my mind often and each time her face flashed in my mind, my heart clenched painfully. Heaving a slow deep sigh, I discarded the thoughts, focusing
KATERINA Touching the necklace on my neck, my lips curved into a smile. I closed my eyes, savouring the precious moment. Still, I couldn't believe that Lucas had brought me the most valuable thing that I have been searching for, for the last four years. It felt like a dream to me. A dream that I didn't want to wake up from. Wearing the necklace made me feel connected to my mother in some twisted way that I couldn't explain. I felt his presence and it gave me the motivation to keep on fighting. It reminded me of what made me come back to Aurelian city. “ Andrew never stopped thinking of you for the past four years.” Luca's words rang in my mind over and over again, like a music put on repeat. Me too. I never forgot about him for the past four years. He crossed my mind every other day, asking the heavens to protect him for me. I might have said that I let the past go. However, the truth was, there are some past that was hard to let go. Like my mother's precious necklace and…Andrew.
KATERINA What is inside the box? I couldn’t help but question myself, curiosity getting the better of me. Lucas walked to me, my heart pounding wildly against my ribcage with each step that I took. I frowned when he handed me the box. “What is inside?” I inquired, looking at him doubtfully.“What about…you check it for yourself?” He asked, the corner of his lips curving into a smirk. I didn’t like the look on his face, he always wore that look whenever he was up to no good. That look reminded me of how he used to tease me, and every time, I fell for it. I had this feeling that he was playing some twisted game on me, and I would be so stupid if I fall for it. I have fallen for many of his games in the past, not this time. I’m not the same Katerina who could be tricked easily. The corner of my lips curved into a smile when the thought popped in my head. “Thank you. However, I don’t think I’m the one you
KATERINAThe feeling of being in his arms again felt familiar. The feeling that I have been trying so fucking hard to forget…“Are you okay? “Lucas asked in concern, looking down at me, worry written all over his face. Our faces were inches away from each other and I could feel his mint breath on cheeks, warm and gentle, caressing my cheeks.“ Yes, I’m okay.” I said in assurance. I wriggled from his arms, the closeness of our faces making me feel a little bit uncomfortable.Lucas helped me to sit back on the chair, ignoring my actions, being gentle as though I was made of glass. He walked to the sleek, built-in hydration station, fetching a glass of water for me.“ Here, this will help a little bit.” He said, his voice polite. He looked at me with care and I swallowed, taking the glass of water and sipped on it. “ I think you should go see the doctor. We can reschedule the appointment if you want. The appointment can wait, but not your health. Let me take yo
~KATERINA ~ "Wha-what are the results doctor?" I inquired as soon as the doctor entered the waiting room holding test results. I shifted uncomfortably in the chair, my heart pounding wildly against my ribcage as though it would escape from my chest the next second. " Congratulations Mrs Thompson, you're pregnant!" The doctor said with a big smile on his face. My eyes widened when I heard his words, " Re-really doctor?" I stuttered, not sure if I had heard him right or if my ear was playing some dump trick on me. It felt surreal. I have been waiting to hear those words escape the doctor's mouth for like forever. If it was a dream, I didn't want to wake up from it. I wanted to dream forever because the reality was too harsh and my fragile heart couldn't take it anymore. " It's real, Mrs Thompson. I have run a few tests and all gave the same results. Here are the medical reports, see for yourself." The doctor handed me the test papers. Taking in a nervous breath, I stretched my s...
