Sitting on the high-backed chair behind the vintage table, I furrowed my eyebrows, taking a good look at the sketch designs, turning it in different angles to make sure that I didn't miss important details.My concentration was cut short when a knock cut through the air. I granted whoever was knocking permission to enter, my eyes never leaving the sketch sketch book. It was silent inside the office and slowly, I raised my head to check who had walked in and I creased my eyebrows.It was none other than David Fernandez.“ What's wrong?” I inquired with creased eyebrows. I know things weren't good whenever David gave me that look.“ Guess what happened in the fashion market?” My heart jumped in my throat when I heard his words.“ Wha-what?” I asked hesitantly, not sure if I wanted to hear what he had to tell me. A part of me was curious while the other was afraid. What if the newly launched designs aren't performing well in the market? Fear crept in

" Secret.We're not going to tell you..." Arabella said playfully." Don't be mean to me." I pouted, pretending to be sad. " Asher, are you going to be mean to mommy too? What about you Alex." I asked, darting my eyes between the triplets." We'll only tell you if you promise to cook us the delicious chicken pie." Asher said, the corner of his lips curving into a smile. God, was Asher playing a trick on me? I couldn't believe it." I miss it!" Alex grumbled with a pout, " Me too." Arabella backed her brothers. I couldn't believe the three were ganging up on me.Heaving a deep sigh, I nodded, " Okay." I said with a smile. I know they missed my cooking because I have been busy lately.“ Grandma is at the fireplace.” They said in unison, “ Let's go check on her.” I said and we both headed to the fireplace.“ Grandma, mommy is home!” Bella announced before we could even walk in the room. She slowly turned towards us and a warm smile spread across her face.“ M

KATERINA ONE WEEK LATER “ Thank you all for being so supportive of the new project and giving it your all.” My lips curved into a big smile, darting my eyes around the long table where all the employees of Madonna company were gathered.“ Let's raise a glass for the marketing team, designing team and manufacturing team, technicians who make sure our websites run smoothly, event organising teams, secretaries, my amazing assistant...” I turned to look at Dave and he flashed me a gentle smile. I wanted him to know that I appreciated his efforts.“ Thank you all, this project wouldn't be a success without your combined efforts.” “ A toast to the amazing C.E.O who listens to her employees even though sometimes we can be a handful, you know.” David shouted and they both cheered. I laughed when I heard Dave's joking words.I felt tears burning it's way out but I blinked countless times to hold it back.I asked the employees to gather in the meeting hall so that we

KATERINA Standing before the full-length mirror, I stared at my reflection and I almost didn't recognise the person looking back at me. I have to admit that the make-up team which left not long ago did an amazing job. The red painting on my lips and the red blush on the cheeks matched perfectly with the red wine silk dress that I was wearing. The long sleeveless dress with an opening on the right thigh and diamond straps was from our new designs collection. I wanted to show people that the designs were not made only for consumers, it's for everyone and that's why our company always does everything to make quality products.I paired the dress with diamond earrings, which matched perfectly with the diamond stiletto heels and a thin diamond bracelet. My brown hair was fixed into a burn, leaving two hair strands falling on each side of my face. I looked at myself one last time, the corner of my lips curving into a smile, a satisfying smile. The dress hugged every curve of

KATERINA The crowd cheered when the curtains parted open and there was surprise on many faces. I know many did expect me to be the C.E.O of Madonna because they thought it was Paula Madonna in charge. The MC offered me a hand and I took it, walking on the red carpet. My heart thumped wildly against my ribcage but I raised my head high, not allowing the nervousness to get the better of me. The MC let my hand go once we arrived before the transparent glass lectern. I flashed him a polite smile, thanking him. Taking a deep breath, I placed the speech papers on the lectern then adjusted the microphone a little bit. I stared at the crowd and they stared back at me, heaving a slow deep breath. I spotted David on the front row and he offered me a smile, mouthing something to me and there was no doubt they were encouraging words. “ First of all, I would like to thank the fashion summit organisers for giving me this chance. I’m truly honoure

~KETERINA~It felt like time had frozen.That voice that I used to love to listen to. That voice that made goosebumps creeped on my skin whenever he whispered in my ear while…My grip on the hem of my dress tightened and I sucked in a deep breath.I looked at David and he gave me a questionable look, silently asking me if he should intervene or not. He knows Lucas Thompson too well, and he knows who he was to me and what happened between us.I gave David a smile that said “ it's okay” and he nodded in understanding. I turned around and I came face to face with Lucas. My breath hitched when I looked into those piercing blue eyes. I knew this day would come. The day that I will look into those sapphire orbs, again. However, I didn't expect that day to be today. I would be lying if I said I was prepared because…I wasn't prepared and I hated to admit it.Why did it have to be today of all days?His blue eyes and midnight black hair reminded me of someone.Someone c

LUCAS The silence inside the car was deafening as the car accelerated down the highway. I stared out of the window blankly, not looking at anything in particular. My breath caught in my throat when I spotted the red painting on the street wall. The image of a beautiful woman dressed in a red dress which fitted her perfectly, revealing every curve on her body flashed in my head. It felt surreal. At first when the silk red curtains were pulled apart and the guest of honour was revealed, I couldn't believe my eyes. I blinked countless times but she was still there, standing boldly on the podium with a smile on her face. “ New beginnings.” “You try your best to let go of the past and embrace the future. That was the inspiration behind the designs.” I felt a lump in my throat when I recalled the words from Katerina’s speech. Does this mean that…she had let the past go the way she claimed? Was that easy for her to let go just lik

KATERINATears burned in my eyes as I stared at David holding a suitcase in his hand. I suck when it comes to goodbyes but it seemed like I didn't have that much of a choice. As much as I hated goodbyes, I had to say it. I wished he could stay for a while but…we both knew that wasn't a good idea. He needed to go back to Elysium city to take care of the company.David has been good company for the two days that I have spent with him in Aurelian city. I showed him around the city and he seemed to love it. I took him to one of my favourite restaurants and we had lunch. I wanted to show him around my city the same way he showed me around Aurelian city.“ I can't believe you're leaving. I’m going to miss you.”I choked out, my voice barely audible but loud enough for him to hear. The corner of his lips curved into a smirk when he heard my words.“ You know I can stay if you ask nicely.” He winked and I couldn't help it but roll my eyes. We both know that wasn't possible ev

LUCAS A FEW DAYS LATER Standing before the full-length mirror, I stared at my reflection, a nervous breath escaping my lips. I was clad in a grey tuxedo with a white shirt underneath. I couldn’t remember when was the last time I had been this nervous about looking good because I had lost track of time. I brushed the dark hair, fixing the edges. I picked the cologne and put it on for the second time? I couldn't tell. I wanted to look representable. I hope I haven't overdone it. “You look good, going somewhere?” Monalisa’s voice came from behind me. We locked eyes in the mirror and she gave me a questionable look. “ Damn it!” I cursed under my breath. I wasn’t in for an argument. All I wanted was to have peace of mind. However, it seemed as though that wasn’t going to happen, not when Monalisa was around. She always finds a reason to cause trouble when it’s all good. Heaving a deep sigh, I turned around to look at her, t

Chapter 048LUCAS“I can't allow Katerina to take advantage of my mother. You know how much our son loves his grandma. If Katerina sends her to jail, Liam would be the one who would be the most affected. We need to protect our son, Lucas.”I ran my fingers through my hair when Monalisa's words echoed in my head over and over again. It's true Liam loves his grandma so much and there's no doubt that if she goes to jail, he would be affected so much.“I would like you to testify in my favour because you were there with me. You know what really happened.” Katerina’s words re-played in my mind and I couldn't help it but release a frustrated sigh. I recalled the tears in those brown hazel eyes as Katerina fought hard to hold it back. I could see the raw pain that she has been harbouring for years through her eyes.How does someone deal with a situation like this? I have never been caught in such a difficult situation.I have been thinking for hours but…I haven

AUTHORS POVKaterina was expecting Lucas to give other compliments. However, she never expected him to say what he had just said.Taking a deep sigh, she composed herself, a faint smile touching her lips.“Who knows, maybe.” She shrugged nonchalantly, her lips twisting. Katerina turned her hand to check the time on the wrist watch.“I think…we have talked a lot more than I intended. I have an important meeting in the next ten minutes. I need time to prepare since it's a design presentation…”She said politely, reaching for the file.Lucas looked at Katerina for a while then nodded in understanding, playing along. He knows fucking well that Katerina was avoiding the conversation. That's how good he knows her. As much as he wanted to talk more, he tried his best to hold the words back. He didn't want to push harder and complicate things.“I guess…I’ll get going.” He said, raising up from the high-backed chair. Katerina nodded since she didn't have anything more to te

AUTHOR'S POVKaterina’s breath caught in her throat when she heard Luca's words. To be honest, she wasn't expecting him to trust her that easily, not even in her wildest dream.Why the change of heart? Why did he believe her without asking questions like he always did? Katerina couldn't help it but wonder, many questions buzzing in her mind.“You…believe me?” She asked hesitantly, not sure if she had heard it right or if her ear was playing a damn game on her. You can't blame Katerina for acting that way because…it was hard for Lucas to believe her in the past, since Monalisa walked in her once peaceful life where they were no doubts. Kate wasn't expecting the conversation to be this smooth either. She was prepared to face the difficulty that was ahead of her. She was ready to accept the fact that Lucas wouldn't believe…The smile on Luca's face broadened when he saw her reaction. He knew damn well that she would act that way when he heard his words.“Yes I

KATERINA “Mr Thompsons, I politely ask you to follow me. You're not allowed to enter this building without Madam boss's permission.” Evan said politely.I swallowed hard when I heard his words. It's true that I had asked them never to allow Lucas, Monalisa, Stephanie or anybody to enter the company without my permission for security purposes.Lucas ignored the security guards words, his eyes were on me as he looked at me worriedly.“It's okay Evan,” I said, the corner of my lips curving into a small smile. Everyone turned their heads to look at me as if I was an alien, never expecting my reply.Jade,my secretary, was surprised too when she heard my reply. I had asked her never to make another appointment with Lucas Thompson ever again.“ Okay ma’am.” Evan nodded in understanding, leaving immediately to give us some privacy.“I’ll go through the document later t

LUCAS“Sure, on my way.” I hung up the phone, shoved it in my pant’s pocket then turned around and walked away.“ Lucas, where are you going? You can't leave the meeting just like that. You know how important this meeting is to the company.” I heard Adam's laboured voice come from behind me. I could tell that he was running to catch-up.It's true the meeting was important to the company and it was our last hope. The investors had agreed to increase the investment in the company. Well, what made me walk away from the meeting imposed too…Adams finally caught up with me and stepped in front of me, blocking my way. I heaved a deep sigh, trying my best not to kick him out of the way.“What's wrong with you man? Don't tell me you're going to cast away all the efforts that we made to convince the investor to increase their investment. What's more important than this meeting?” He asked, clearly pissed off with my behavio

KATERINA It has already been three days since the lawyer visited my house to inform me about the case. He's updating me on the proceedings and everything in between. The first hearing would be about my Dad's death, then followed by the inheritance case a week after.My lawyer told me that…we need to find a way to prove to the court that Stephanie has violent behaviours. I have tried to think of ways to do it but…nothing comes to mind.Stephanie treated me rudely countless times. However, I don't have any solid evidence that proves it. If she didn't sell my home, it would be easy to have access to most of the clips from the CCTV but…she sold my home. I’m pretty sure she did it on purpose to destroy all the evidence that I could use against her. She's so wicked.I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration when I gave it thought. I hated the fact that I felt helpless. I hated even more when the thought of Steph

AUTHOR'S POV Leaning on the balcony’s railings, Stephanie darted her eyes around softly, enjoying the beautiful view of Aurelian city from her penthouse balcony. She was holding a glass of amber liquid in her left hand, slowly sipping on it as the cold breeze brushed through her hair, making the feeling more compelling. She took another sip, closing her eyes gently as the cold liquid hit her guts. ‘Heaven, it feels so good.’ She thought, the corner of her lips curving into a smile. What was there to worry about when life was this good? She has everything that she has ever wished for. She can buy the most expensive wine that is decades old. Buy the most expensive clothes, cars and live in the most expensive apartment in Aurelian city. The current apartment that she’s currently residing in is the most expensive apartment in the city. It's built using rare gemstones and both interior an

KATERINA Standing on the balcony at my apartment, I stared at the tall building which was miles away. It was illuminated dimly under the moonlight. My family's company, now owned by none other than Stephanie. My heart ached inside my chest when I gave it a thought. I recalled how my dad sacrificed everything to build the company. Those late nights that he used to spend in the study room, carefully crafting ways to improve the company's performance so that it could thrive even more. Those early meetings, sacrificing sleep to make sure that the company was doing well, exhausting business trips around the world, sleepless nights, blood and tears had gone to waste.I couldn't believe the once famous company was now struggling, on the verge of bankruptcy. All thanks to Stephanie and her greedy nature. I checked the time on my phone and that's when I noticed missed calls from Lucas. He has been calling me nonstop but I didn't receive any of his calls. I sent the video t
Dear Ex-Wife; Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 040
AUTHOR’S POV Lucas listened to the clip for the hundredth time, and each time it replayed, he got more furious. The voices were clear, and he could hear Monalisa threatening Katerina. Katerina sent the video to Lucas with the caption “You need to control your wife because she seems out of control. The threats she made are serious and I can sue her for it” it read. The words were in capital and it was clear that Katerina was mad about it. If Lucas didn't have the recording, he would say that Katerina was lying. However, the recording in his hand proved otherwise. His jaw twitched as anger boiled in his veins, the hold around his phone tightening until the screen cracked. “ You can have him all for yourself because I don't care about him!” The words were like ice shards which pierced Luca's heart into a million pieces, leaving it cold and numb. Lucas knows damn well that Katerina let the past go. However , there was this stupid part of him that thought maybe…just maybe, there was a
