Dear Ex-Wife; Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 010
KATERINA The patient is having a heart attack, defibrillator in position. I heard the doctor say as their voices became a distant noise. I felt someone pull me away from my dad and this time, I didn't fight back as my body was drained of energy. “ No, no no,” I whispered, my voice barely a whisper as my vision blurred with tears. It felt as though time was moving in a slow motion as I watched the doctors charge the defibrillators and shocked my dad. The doctor stopped and turned at me, I was still being held captive by the nurses. I didn't need them to tell me what was going on because the look in their eyes said it all. And the flat heartbeat waves didn't do any good to hide the truth from me. “ Please try again,” I pleaded. I couldn't remember when was the last time I pleaded to someone to do something for me. This was different since it involved my dad. I would go to my knees if I had to. “ I’m sorry but…” The main doctor paused, then heaved a deep sigh, “ We have tried

~KATERINA~ “ My Dad is gone,” I choked out, painful for me to admit the damn truth because it hurt so fucking much. Without saying a word, Lucas walked to me and pulled me into a suffocating hug and sobs escaped my lips. I wanted to act strong. I wanted to pretend that I could stand the heavy storm but…it was easier thought than done. The wind was too strong swaying me side to side and the thunder struck me where it hurt the most, paralyzing my heart and soul. “ It hurts so much.” I confessed, hugging him back so tightly as if his warmth would give me the comfort that I was craving so badly. My manicured nails dug in his back but he didn't complain. “ I know. I know.” He said in a soft voice, patting my back gently to help me calm down but it seemed as if it didn't help that much because it still hurt. “ He didn't even give me a chance to say goodbye.” I said in between the sobs. Lucas continued to hug me as he patted my back, never letting go. He pulled back and held my

KATERINA My vision blurred as I stared at the mansion, the suitcase in my hand too heavy. “ I’m sorry, mother.” I choked out, my voice merely a whisper. My heart ached inside my chest and my throat was clogged with emotions. I never thought this day would come. The day that I would say goodbye to my home. The place that I once called home now belonged to someone else. Stephanie stood at the balcony, sipping the amber liquid in the glass while she stared down at me, a wicked smile playing at the corner of her lips. My jaw clenched and my grip on the suitcase handle tightened. I still couldn't believe that my dad had given the most important thing to that witch. I have been trying to wrap my head around why he did it but…I couldn't come up with a logical explanation. Why would he leave everything under Stephanie and Monalisa?The memories of the clip and the papers made my head throb. Heaving a deep sigh, I turned around and walked to the gate. My legs felt heavy with each step

~LUCAS~ Closing my eyes, I leaned back on the car chair’s headrest, an exhausted sigh escaping from my lips. I felt exhausted from the one week business trip that I had just come from. I asked my chauffeur to take me to Katerina's apartment when he came to pick me up at the airport because I was so worried about her. “ Lucas?” Katerina's voice echoed in my mind. I recalled how those brown hazel eyes widened and her mouth hung open for a second when she opened the door and found me standing at her doorstep. I couldn't blame her for the reaction that she gave because I understood where she was coming from. I know she never expected to be me. Not even in her wildest dreams. The truth is that, even though things didn't turn out great, deep down I cared about Katerina. When Mr Andrew called me and informed me about what happened with the will, my heart went out to her. I couldn't believe Mr Mackenzie would do such a thing to her daughter. I offered her a job because I heard she

KATERINA I was surrounded by darkness and I could hear the beeping of machines from afar. I knitted my eyebrows, wondering what was going on as I tried to fight the darkness that was haunting me.The pungent smell of disinfectants and medicines hit my nostrils and fear crawled in my heart. I remembered the last time I smelled this kind of scent, things didn't go too well. Slowly, I fluttered my eyelashes to get rid of the blurry vision. I creased my eyebrows when my eyes fully opened, trying to wrap my head around what was going on. I was expecting to wake up on my bed…“ You- you’re awake.” A woman's voice cut through the air and she walked to the side of the bed looking so concerned. I furrowed my eyes as I tried to remember how the hell I got in the hospital and who she was.Panic struck me when I recalled the gunshot and blood oozing from the wound. My hand found its way to my belly, my heart thumping wildly against my ribcage.“ My baby…” I whispered, my voice raspy. A sharp pai

~KATERINA~I heard the movement in the background but I didn't dare to turn my head to check what was happening. Too afraid for anyone to see the broken look in my eyes.Paula carried the plastic chair that she was sitting on and came to sit close to the bed. Her eyes were gentle on me and her face full of concern. She slowly took my hand in hers, and for the first time after days of feeling all alone and isolated. I felt warmth.“ I’m so sorry about my statement earlier. I didn't mean to harm you.” She said, giving my hand a gentle squeeze. I wanted to pull my hand away because she was strange to me and she was getting too close. However, I couldn't bring myself to do so. I wanted to feel more of her warmth and I let her hold my hand for a little longer.“ It's okay.” My voice came out as a whisper, emotions clogged in my throat. I didn't blame Paula for asking me about my family because she was innocent. I understand that she was worried that my family might be looking for me while

KATERINA Paula’s face softened, “ You don't need to worry about the hospital bills.”I creased my eyebrows when I heard her words. How was I supposed not to worry about the hospital bills when I didn't have enough money to take care of it? I know the doctors said that I should avoid stress because it's not good for the babies but…I just couldn't help it. How was I supposed not to worry when there was every reason to worry about? “ I…” “ I’ll take care of the hospital bills. That is the least I can do for you after saving my life.” She cut me short before I could even finish my statement. I was quiet for a while when I heard Paula's word's. I didn't want her to think that I was taking advantage because I saved her life. I know it was a reckless thing to do but the truth is that I don't regret it. Even if it happened again, I would still do the same thing. “ Thank you, but I don't want you to think that I’m taking advantage of the situation because I helped you out. It's not your

LUCAS FOUR YEARS LATER Theme song - You're Mines Still, Yung Bleu ft Drake While searching through files in the study room, a picture dropped on the floor. I reached for it and my breath caught in my throat. It was a picture of a small girl and boy. The girl's brown hazel eyes shine brightly, her tongue stuck out of her mouth playfully.My lips curled up into a smile as I stared at the picture, forgetting what I was looking for. Katerina and I looked so happy and carefree. I recalled the day that the picture was taken as if it were yesterday. Those were the good old days that I craved for sometimes. What happened to us? How did we end up this way? The smile was no longer on our faces and those brown hazel eyes were nowhere to be seen. I stretched my trembling hand to touch Kate’s face on the picture as if doing so would help me feel the physical connection that I have been secretly craving for but she was beyond my reach. The picture was too cold, making a shiver run down my

KATERINA “ No no no,” I shook my head vigorously in denial, refusing to believe any single word that came out of her mouth.“ That can't be! That can't be.” I continued to shake my head in denial. I just talked to my Dad not long ago and he seemed happy when I informed him that I was coming back home.I walked past Anna and rushed into the mansion to search for my dad since what she was saying didn't make sense to me.“ Dad! Dad!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. I ran to the study room, my heart pounding wildly against my ribcage as though it would escape my lips the next minute.He must be in the study working because I recalled him telling me over the phone that he was working on important papers. I bursted inside the study, panting heavily but…I was met by deafening silence. His office was neatly arranged just like always but there was no trace of life. There was a mug on the vintage table and his jacket hung on the chair. I rushed to the study room’s bathroom to look for him
