(The following day)

“Ahh, my head,” Kathryn groan as she get up slowly from the couch she slept on last night, she blinked her eyes and looked around. “Did I slept here? Fuck!” She muttered as she confirmed she was still in the living room.

“And why the fuck is my head banging so much?” She asked no one in particular then her eyes quickly did a search on the table at her front and she gasps “Did I drink all of these?! 5 bottles!” She exclaimed taking her lips in-in disgust.

Then she suddenly remembered the cause of her pains, her jerk husband. “I hope you feel my pain, Lyon!!” She screamed and get up on her feet, dragging her feet to the kitchen-not without holding her head.

She opened the fridge and grab a bottle of water, she gulp down and her eyes ran to the kitchen entrance, she almost flinched and choke on the water when she saw someone with a scary hair standing there.

“My God! That scared me! Fiona! I told you to cut that hair! You almost killed me!” She exclaimed dropping the empty bottle in a waste bin.

“Good morning ma’am Kath. I’m sorry if I startled you,” The young woman apologized with a smile while Kathryn shook her head.

“Morning, you didn’t come yesterday. Well, not to worry I survived,” Kathryn joked while the lady now known as Fiona chuckle.

“Yesterday was your anniversary and it’s best if I let you have the romantic moments and I can tell last night went well, I saw the bottles at the living room,” Fiona chip in with a smile while Kathryn faked a smile.

“Ohh, you remember?” She asked and Fiona nod.

“Of course, who would forget the anniversary of the world handsome man, Lyon Alberto? No one,” Fiona muttered and Kathryn scoffed.

“Handsome my foot, everyone seems to remember but Lyon decided to lose his memories of that, tsk,” She mumbled under her breathe as she balled her fist.

“You’re talking to me?” Fiona chip in but Kathryn shook her head.

“No, I was just talking to myself. You know what to do right? I’m leaving, bye,” Kathryn said and with that she left.

Fiona went back to what she was doing not until she heard a soft knock on the kitchen door, she turned.

“Good morning Ms.Fiona,” Trisha greeted and Fiona beamed leaving what she was doing and she moved closer to her.

“Oh, Trisha! Pleasant morning! It good to see you around,” Fiona responded back with smiles.

“Me too, I guess you’re cooking something really nice for the house, hehe,” She joked and they both laughed “Anyways where’s sis?”

“She just went back in,” Fiona replied

“Alright, I will head in.” With that Trisha left Fiona and went for the stairs-to Kathryn’s room.

****

“Sis? Hey… huh? Where’s she?” Trisha asked looking around the room when she couldn’t find Kathryn. “Are you in here?? Hello?” She called but got no response then her eyes ran to phone on her dressing table.

“Oh! That’s her phone, Hmm, she’s sure here!” She mumbled then was about calling out her name when the phone beeped. “That’s strange, Kathryn’s phone hardly beeps I mean, she has no friend-oh, Lyon forbid her,” She twisted her lips then went over to the phone.

“A picture?” She called and click on the picture, her eyes bawled out and her ear turned red “How-“

“Drop my phone already,” She heard Kathryn’s voice who is just coming back from the swimming pool.

Trisha scoffed and looked at her, “Really sis? Did you see this already?” She show the picture of Lyon kissing a lady to Kathryn.

Kathryn clenched her jaw at the view but she doesn’t want to show it at her sister’s face. “That must be his business partners, it’s nothing,” She faked a smile.

Trisha scoffed angrily, “Don’t cover up for this cheat! Lyon is doing what’s wrong! Is this why he forgot your anniversary!” Trisha yelled but Kathryn pull out the stool at the dressing table and sat on it.

She put on a lotion on her face, “What are you doing here? I told you not to come to my house again,” she asked obviously changing the topic but Trisha wasn’t buying it.

“Sis! Stop acting like this! Lyon is taking you for granted!!”She yelled and Kathryn angrily dropped the lotion and turn to Trisha with a boiling face.

“And you think I don’t know that!” She yelled back and suddenly she dropped tears, “What…what can I do? I’m trying Trisha, What can I do? Divorce him? Fight him? I-“ she couldn’t finish what she was saying when she bust out in tears.

Trisha was moved and walk closer to her, she pull her into a warm hug, “If it’s only divorce that can make you feel better, do it.” She whispered into her ear.

Kathryn pull away slowly and looked at her sister, “D-divorce?”

Trisha nod, “Yes, Divorce.”

Kathryn suddenly sprang up, “I..can’t!”

Trisha scoffed, “what do you mean you can’t?”

“I love Lyon,” She muttered softly

“That’s where you’re getting it all confused, it’s one sided love! You know Lyon was forced into this marriage, he didn’t like you!” Trisha snapped remembering her of the obvious.

Those words break Kathryn down, “But..”

“No buts, There’s no love in this marriage and he cheats! Divorce is the only option,”

“I think I’m done here, if I had known it was a lie when you told me we are going to Thailand for business I swear I wouldn’t have disappoint Kathryn,” His deep voice growl and push the lady kissing him away.

“And if I had told you the truth would you have followed?” The lady smirked while Lyon rolled his eyes.

He stood up and adjusted his suit, “I’m done!” He snapped and was about leaving when she grab his wrist.

“Are you leaving? To where?” The lady that grab his wrist asked

“Home, Remember I left someone at home.” He scowl and push her hand away.

“Until when? Until when are you going to do this, Lyon?! I’m taking it the easiest way, don’t test my patience!”

“And you don’t fucking yell at me Wendy!”

The lady now known as Wendy laughed out loud in sarcasm, “Wow! So you’re yelling back at me? Have you forgotten who you’re! You’re a bad person! You’re a-“

“I know! Don’t mention it to my face, I haven’t forgotten,” He growl deeply as his eyes turned pure red.

“Hehe, Does she know? Does Kathryn know the animal you’re? Are you ever planning to tell her?” She asked while Lyon clenched on his jaw.

“When the time is right,” with he turned but Wendy held his hand.

“If you leave now, I will call her and tell all your dirty secret!” She whisper into his ears and fear grip him

“Let go of me, I will stay!”

Wendy smirked, “Good boy”

    Lyon stood still, his hands akimbo as he stared straight at Kathryn, who was unmoved by his sudden expression.She turned away and turned to meet him, still standing, “you won't accept my condition?” Lyon heaved, unsure of what to say, the only thing running through his mind was, how to make her stay without her making unnecessary demands.“I accept, I guess you're satisfied now.” He said and motioned towards the door, he held the door knob “I’d be waiting downstairs” and dashed out.“Whatever!” She said making sure he wasn't there to hear her.Fiona and martins on hearing the door crack, raced! They've been eavesdropping on them and wouldn't want Lyon to notice that.Lyon's face was expressionless as he stepped out of Kathryn’s room.Lyon headed upstairs to his room, his heart beating a little faster than usual. Pushing open the door, he walked in and turned on the light. The soft glow lit up his tidy room, with the wardrobe standing tall in the corner. He opened the wardrobe and

    Martins walked quickly into the house, looking around for Lyon. He found him sitting on the couch, but something about the way Lyon was sitting, tense, shoulders tight, made it clear that he wasn’t fully relaxed. “Fiona said you were resting. Is everything alright?” Martins asked, his tone cautious, sensing something wasn’t quite right. Lyon looked up at him, his eyes a bit sharp, as if the question caught him off guard. He hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile. “Yes,” he said a little too quickly, his voice edged with impatience. Without waiting for Martins to say anything else, Lyon stood up abruptly, as though he couldn’t sit still any longer. His movements were fast, almost hurried, as he rushed past Martins and headed up the stairs. Martins watched him go, standing there for a moment, feeling the odd tension in the air. He wasn’t sure what had just happened, but Lyon’s quick departure and the look on his face told him that something was off. He sighed quietly, unsur

    Episode 7“Room 309!” Lyon's phone buzzed on his way out, Martins watching keenly. He took the phone out and sighed as if he knew it was Wendy.He climbs the car as Martins rode off, at intervals, through the mirror, Martins could see how uneasy Lyon was but still maintaining his high esteem.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Martins asked, wondering if he asked right, but seemed to care less.“Do what?” Lyon said, raising a brow.Martins swallowed the lump in his throat, it was a lost conversation already. “Can you be a little faster? We'll stop by at the office after this, I don't want to keep Kathryn waiting.” Lyon said, checking his wrist watch.That sounded intentional than usual, Martins knew Lyon cared for nothing more than his business, now Kathryn is in the picture, whatever she did, she better don't refrain.Soon, they arrived. Lyon didn't have to meet the receptionist since Wendy already sent her room number across.Knock! Knock!“Come in,” Wendy called from inside. Her

    Episode 8Kathryn turned as though she didn't hear him well, he has never called her beautiful since they were married and just now, he did. It sounded fascinating but triggered something in her, for a moment she felt like tearing up.She fixed her gaze on him as though urging him to do what was on his mind, how badly she wanted to feel like a woman. She has only read them in stories.“Thank you,” she managed to say, her mind drifting off.Kathryn sat quietly, lost in thought, as she looked at Lyon from across the room. She hadn’t really thought about how their marriage had started in a long time. It wasn’t a love story, not like the ones in movies. It was more like something that had been decided for them. Her parents had arranged it. It wasn’t uncommon in their world. Their families knew each other well, and both saw the marriage as a way to strengthen their social standing. Kathryn’s father had always admired Lyon’s family, wealthy, influential, and well-connected. Lyon’s parents

    Episode 9It was late in the afternoon when Trisha arrived at Kathryn and Lyon’s house. She stepped out of her car with purpose, her heels clicking sharply on the driveway as she walked toward the front door. Trisha had never been one to mince words, and today was no exception. She loved her sister, but she wasn’t convinced Lyon deserved the second chance Kathryn seemed willing to give him. Before she could ring the doorbell, the door swung open, and Kathryn stood there, her expression quickly shifting from surprise to guarded irritation. “What are you doing here, Trisha?” Kathryn asked, folding her arms across her chest. Trisha smirked faintly. “That’s a nice way to greet your sister. I just came to check on you.” Kathryn narrowed her eyes. “Check on me or check on Lyon? Because I can already feel where this is going.” “I mean it,” Trisha said, brushing past her and stepping into the house. “I came to see you. But if Lyon happens to be here, well, that’s fine too.” Kathry

    Chapter 10Fiona sighed, leaning her head against the doorframe. “Still, I hope she doesn’t ruin this for them. It’s just starting to get good, you know? I mean, look at them, they’re actually acting like a couple. It’s... sweet.” Martins chuckled, his tone teasing. “Sweet? You’re getting soft, Fiona. Next thing I know, you’ll be rooting for a happily-ever-after.” Fiona shot him a playful glare. “Oh, hush. You’re just as invested in this as I am. Don’t even try to deny it.” He raised his hands as though surrendering. “Alright, alright. You got me.” They both chuckled.Fiona smiled, her eyes still focused on the couple in the kitchen.As they turned to leave, giving Lyon and Kathryn their privacy, Fiona glanced back one last time, her heart warming at the sight of Kathryn leaning slightly into Lyon’s touch. “You know,” she said quietly as they walked down the hallway, “I think they might actually make it.” Martins nodded, his usual humour replaced with a rare sincerity. “Yeah

    Chapter 60A month passed in a jiffy. Finally, Lyon and Kathryn could have their baby.Lyon and Kathryn arrived at the hospital with quiet excitement, the kind that comes when you know life is about to change forever. The ride there had been mostly silent, Kathryn holding Lyon’s hand the entire way, her mind racing as Martins drove. For weeks, they had dreamed of this moment, and now it was finally here.When they stepped into the hospital, the halls were familiar, but everything felt different this time. There was no rush, no panic. Lyon held onto Kathryn gently as they made their way to the nursery.A nurse met them with a kind smile, “Mr. and Mrs. Alberto, I’ll get your son for you.”Kathryn’s breath caught as the nurse disappeared behind a door. Her fingers gripped Lyon’s arm. “I can’t believe we’re finally bringing him home,” she whispered.Lyon looked at her, his voice low and calm. “We’ve waited long enough.”The nurse returned, pushing a small bassinet with their baby in it, w

    Chapter 59“It's a boy!” The doctor said, turning back, grabbing Lyon's hand, who was on his knees, for a handshake, “congratulations once again, Mr Lyon.”They weren't allowed in for some hours, though they stood at a distance.“You can see her now.” One of the nurses said as Lyon nodded.Lyon walked into the room quietly, the soft beeping of the machines filling the silence. He stood there for a moment, just watching Kathryn, her face peaceful as she slept. It felt unreal, how close he had come to losing her. But now she was here, still breathing, still alive. He could hardly believe it.Turning to Martins and James, Lyon spoke softly. “I need a minute with her,” he said, voice rough. “I’ll be out in a bit.”The two men nodded, understanding without needing to say much. They stepped out, leaving Lyon and Kathryn alone in the room.Lyon moved to her bedside, the sound of his footsteps too loud in the stillness. He sat down on the edge of the bed and took her hand gently in his, feeli

    Chapter 58“Kathryn…!!!” Lyon shouted, his mouth opened wide.Kathryn’s scream echoed in the room, the sound of pain slicing through Lyon like a knife. He watched helplessly as she jerked in the chair, her leg buckling under the force of the shot. Blood began to pool around her, spreading across the floor, and Lyon’s mind went blank. He couldn’t breathe.Kathryn!” He shouted, struggling against the men holding him, his body trembling. She was everything to him. His life. His future. And now, this monster, Wendy, was trying to take her away from him.Kathryn’s breath was shallow, her face a mask of pain. Her body was shaking, but she still managed to look at Lyon, her eyes filled with tears.“Lyon... I... I’m sorry,” she whispered, but it barely registered through the haze of panic in his mind. He didn’t know if she was apologizing for what had happened, for what Wendy was doing to her... or maybe it was for something else.But he couldn’t think about that right now. He had to save he

    Chapter 57Lyon had barely loosened the last knot on Kathryn’s restraints when a slow, deliberate clap echoed through the room. The sound was smug, sharp, like a knife slicing through the air.“Well, well, well…” Wendy’s voice came from the doorway, sickly sweet and dripping with malice. Lyon’s head snapped up, and there she stood, leaning against the frame with a cruel smirk plastered across her face. Two enormous men flanked her, their broad shoulders filling the entryway like silent, unmovable walls.“I’ve been expecting you, Lyon,” Wendy purred, taking a slow step into the room, her heels clicking against the floor. Her confidence oozed from every step, every calculated motion.Lyon’s entire body stiffened. He rose to his feet, shielding Kathryn instinctively as if his presence alone could protect her. “Wendy…” His voice was low, strained, fighting the rage building in his chest. “Why are you doing this? What do you want?”Wendy’s smirk deepened as her eyes locked with his. “You t

    Chapter 56Lyon stepped off the plane, barely feeling the ground beneath his feet. The cool breeze brushed his face, but it didn't calm anything he was feeling.He pulled his phone out from his pocket, he dialed Martins’ number, his hand trembling slightly.“Where are you?” Lyon’s voice was tight, sharp, cutting through the noise of the bustling airport. His eyes darted around, scanning the crowd.“Right outside. I’m here.” Martins’ voice was steady but had that edge of urgency.Lyon pushed through the throngs of people.The noise, the movement, all of it was a blur. He didn’t stop until he spotted Martins near the car, waving with a slight tilt of his head. Without a word, Lyon slid into the passenger seat, the door slamming shut behind him. Martins pulled away from the curb, the tires rolling like they, too, knew there wasn’t time to waste.Inside the car, silence hung heavy. Lyon’s mind was racing, the weight of every possible outcome pressing down on him like bricks. His phone buz

His heartbeat felt like it had jumped to his throat. "Where?" he said sharply, his voice low but steady."An old warehouse just outside the city," the voice continued, pausing for a second. "But Lyon… it's Wendy. She's not working alone. There's something off about everything.”Lyon’s mind raced, staring straight at the empty space ahead of him. Wendy. Of course. “Wendy’s cunning. This isn’t going to be simple, but, it will.” Lyon muttered to himself. He exhaled sharply through his nose, trying to keep his rage in check. “Listen, make more investigation. Keep a close eye on Wendy. I’ll be there in two hours.”“Understood.” The line went dead.Lyon lowered the phone and closed his eyes for a moment, trying to steady the storm coming up inside him. When he opened them again, they were cold and

    Chapter 53Lyon's mind was racing, trying to piece together the situation. His gut told him something wasn’t right. “I have this feeling... It is Wendy. I just know it.”Martins stood quietly beside him, his arms crossed as he observed the scene. He didn’t speak at first, just watching Lyon carefully. “The police should be reporting back soon,” Martins said, his voice calm despite the tension. “But we can’t just wait for them. This is moving too fast.”Lyon paused in his pacing and turned to look at Martins. There was a silent understanding between them, and Lyon’s gaze hardened. He didn’t need anyone to tell him what to do. He had to act now.He turned back to Trisha, crouching down in front of her. His eyes softened for a moment, though his voice was still firm. “Trisha, listen to me. We’ll find her. I promise you, we’ll bring Kathryn back.”Trisha’s eyes welled up with fresh tears as she looked at him. She shook her head slowly. “I should’ve... I should’ve done something. I was to

Feels nice, right?” Trisha said, glancing over at her.Kathryn nodded slowly. “I guess it’s not so bad.”“Not so bad?” Trisha laughed. “Please. I know you’re enjoying this.”A faint smile crept onto Kathryn’s face. “Maybe a little.”Trisha looked at her, her voice softening. “You’ve been through a lot, Kath. I know you don’t like to talk about it, but you’re back now. That’s all that matters.”Kathryn glanced down, her steps slowing a bit. “It’s just... sometimes I don’t know if I’m ready. Being here again... it’s not easy.”Trisha squeezed her arm gently. “One step at a time. That’s all you need to do. And when you don’t feel strong enough, I’ll remind you that you are.”Kathryn looked at her sister, her throat tightening for a second. “Thanks, Trish. You always know what to say.”“Of course I do.
