KATERINA

I froze in my tracks when I heard Arabella’s words. My throat was dry since I didn’t know how to respond. She looked so happy and I could tell that she enjoyed the conversation. What they talked about, only the heavens know. I thought she was talking to David because sometimes she calls him to say goodnight. However, I never expected the caller to be Lucas.

Not even in my wildest dreams.

“The phone was calling and you were in the bathroom. I thought it was uncle David.” Bella said in a little cute voice, pouting cutely and the corner of my lips curved into a smile.

I walked to her on the bed, “ It's okay.” I said, planting a kiss on her forehead then gently took the phone. The phone was ongoing and I could tell that Lucas was listening to our conversation.

I put the call on hold so that I could talk to Bella in privacy.

“Let me talk to…Lucas.” I stuttered, my lips curving into a small smile. Arabella nodded in understandi

    LUCAS An hour had passed by since Katerina had hung up on me. I was still in the study room, sitting on the highly backed chair, holding the phone in my hand. I should be sleeping right now because I have an early meeting tomorrow with the new investors. However, I was still wide awake and there was no sign of falling asleep anytime soon. I mean, how does someone sleep peacefully without a care in the world when a real war is going on in his/her head? ‘I don't have a daddy.’ The little girl's voice rang in my head over and over again, making it hard for me to concentrate. I heaved a deep sigh, running my fingers through my already messy hair. Pushing the chair back, I stood up and walked to the window. I stared out of the window blankly, thoughts buzzing in my mind and for a second, I was afraid that I would go insane. The door clicked open and I didn't bother to turn around because I already knew who it was. Andrew joined me at the window, standing beside me. “ Here is a cup of

    KATERINA TWO DAYS LATER Sitting on the high backed chair behind the vintage table, I squinted my eyes on the laptop, accessing the new sketching that the team had sent to me not long ago. It was on a Monday and I was back in Aurelian city. The weekend with the triplets was fun. It was hard to say goodbye to them. However, I had no other choice. Arabella cried because she wanted to come with me to Aurelian city. It broke my heart as I watched tears stream down her cheeks. I wanted to bring her with me but…I just couldn't. “ Say hello to your friend Lucas.” Her words echoed in my head and I took a deep breath. Arabella asked me where Lucas comes from and I had no choice but to tell her the truth. I didn't want to lie to her because I know a child never forgets. Lucas tried to call me a couple of times but I didn't pick any of his calls. I wanted him to know that I meant It when I said I don't want to talk to him ever again. I guess he has never changed, he's stubborn just lik

    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

    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

    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.

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?

    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
