2024-10-29 19:42:56Kathleen ran into the room and locked the door behind her, she leaned on the door to steady her shaky legs tears flooding her eyes, she put her palms on her chest, it felt as if it was about to burst open with the pain, she choked on a sob as she slides on the door as theears came running down her cheeks, how could she be so delusional? She had almost given herself to him just a few hours ago and in the space of a heartbeat, he was in another woman's arms, what was it that that lady said? He thought of her as pitiful and saw her as an obstacle between him and his love, her heart aches as it threatened to burst with emotions, she had naively thought he felt something for her just a moment ago and had allowed herself to be carried away by emotions, she burrowed her head between her knees as she allowed the tears to flow freely, she ignored the sudden pounding on the door for her to open the door, she just wanted to hide.
"Kathleen, open this door right now" his voice thundered frRelated chapters

Derek opened his eyes the next morning, he tried to sit up but the exploding pain he felt had him falling back to the bed, he groaned aloud holding his head."That's what you get for drinking too much, the aftereffect is always bad" Kathleen came in carrying a tray, the smell of freshly made coffee filled the room, she helped him up with a hand underneath his head, "here drink this" she gave him the coffee which he drank with relish, " thanks" he handed the cup back to her when he was through, " you could have sent the maid to bring it" he avoided making eye contact with her, he knew he must look a mess right now, he touched his swollen cheek, served him right, he thought as he winced at the pain, she said nothing, she simply removed his hand and placed some ice pack on it, "ouch" he winced again trying to move his face away."Be still, you didn't think of the pain when you involved yourself in a fight, what were you thinking?" Her sharp tone had him sitting still li

"I am throwing a party tomorrow, to officially introduce you to the world as my wife" Derek informed her over dinner and Kathleen almost choked on her meal, a party for her? Does he really wish to introduce her as his wife to the whole world? A party means the press will pick it up and all those his ladies might be present, does it really matter? He would be introducing her but she would not think much about it, She preferred her low-key life, she loves being anonymous, she doesn't want to be dragged into his limelight, Derek was staring at her, " what do you think?" He asked in-between bits, it was the first time he was having dinner at home since their marriage and he must admit, it felt good.Kathleen shrugged, putting down her spoon, " I don't like it" she stated and for a moment he looked confused, he thought she would be happy, every woman wanted to associate with him, why was she always different? " What do you mean by you don't like it?"" I don't want to be dragge

Derek came out of the bathroom to see Kathleen standing by the door as if waiting for him to be out, droplets of water ran from his hair to his chest and for a moment she stood there drooling and Derek chuckled, "do you need something wife?" His tone held a double meaning and she looked away blushing."You can't stop me from being friends with Stefan" she finally recalled while she was waiting for him, Derek raised a brow at her, "what's it about him that you're so fired up to become his friend?" His blue eyes drilled hers."Because he's nice and is offering his friendship" she retorted"There are other nice ladies out there to be friends with," he said cooling, drawing out the ladies."So I'm not allowed to make male friends but you are allowed to keep female friends?" She fired at him and he looked at her, "I'm a playboy so it's allowed but you're not a Playgirl so it does not allow".Kathleen brow furrowed, "you take much pride in bearing playboy don't you?"Der

He seized every opportunity to touch her.On one of those occasions, they had gone out for a drink, holding each other's hands, they both sat down, the waiter ran towards them immediately to take their order, and they each sip their drinks in comfortable silence, simply enjoying each other's company.
