LITTLE MISS KATE AND THE MAFIAN CEO Chapter 22
Stumbling down an alley, Kate soon came on an intersection between roads. She didn't need to risk getting a heart attack from taking another look back to know they were closing in on her. Her trembling lips were about to let out a scream of terror when, as if conjured by magic, a black maybach skid down to a halt just in front of her. If she'd moved a step forward from where she stood, she'd have walked right into its path! The window to the driver's seat slid down with amplified urgency. "Get in!" Nicholas Smith ordered imperiously. Her mind still numbed with fear, and frozen stiff from the shock of being nearly run over, Katherine stood like a sculpting of stone despite the impending danger her delay was hastening. Coolly in command, he got out, opened the door and pushed her gently but firmly into the back passenger seat. The men who had been hot on her heels slunk back into the shadows of the darkened street on seeing that she'd gotten help. They weren't quick enough to preve

"I can't believe you could do something so spendthrift!" Katherine confuted, setting her purse on the polished mahogany table. "Do what?" Nick quizzed in a honeyed voice, a phony look of innocence on his face. "I thought I was being considerate by renting an office apartment so we could get on with formulating our policy?" "Well…this isn't just any office apartment. I mean, haven't you looked around you at all?!" She remarked, brown almond eyes sweeping past the sumptuous space in a quick assesive glance. "This place must cost a fortune!" She continued. "Three hundred dollars per hour, to be exact." He interjected, and her lips pursed in surprise. "That's even higher than I'd expected!" She said, her voice coming in a near whisper. "We could've just stayed behind at Cole Corp like you always do. Why did you do something so unnecessary?" Just then, there was a brief knock on the door. Katie's eyes flew up to meet Nicholas Smith's, surprise clearly written in them. "Come in."

Katherine Cooper nearly jolted as she felt his warm electrifying touch on her cold skin. Blushing furiously, her startled eyes flew up to meet Nicholas Smith's. Wait, what was he…?"There's a spider on your shoulder." He murmured. His tone sounded too serious for him to be bluffing, so Katherine took it all in, hook, line and sinker. Kate jerked in fear, twisting her head to the side for a confirmation before she let out a shriek of terror. Ugh, she loathed spiders! But then, coincidentally, her eyes caught sight of the amusement gleaming in those obsidian mists and she stilled. ''You weren't being serious, were you?" He smirked. "Nope. But it was fun to watch you fret over something as silly as that." Sighing, Kate rolled her eyes before cupping her face in both hands. ''Headache?" His cool voice tore her focus from trying to calm the throbbing at her temples. She nodded, lifting her head to look at him. "How did you…" ''I can tell from the tension in your neck and shoulders

Katherine Cooper closed her laptop for the second time and sighed. Nick looked up immediately, slightly distracted. "Something wrong?" He quizzed, obsidian eyes searching her weary face for answers. Katie shook her head, long chocolate waves swishing from side to side."I'm sorry. I just…'' She trailed off, and then let out another sigh. "We've been working on this for almost a week now, and still we are yet to have any positive results. I mean, if it were possible for us to formulate a policy with over fifty percent success rate, by now, shouldn't we have done it already?"Nicholas Smith remained silent. "At least the ones you've happened to come up with are way better." She continued. "You know what? Yesterday, I started wondering how it could be possible that we haven't hit the jackpot yet, what exactly we could be missing out on..." her voice trailed off somewhere along. " I mean, could it be me? Is there something I'm missing, or something I'm doing wrong? I just wish I'd-"

From where she approached, Katie could see Nick's tall frame leaning against the body of his Rolls Royce. A million and one thoughts ran through her curious mind as she came closer, wondering why on earth Nicholas Smith was parked in front of her home at this time of the day. As soon as she was within range, he threw her something. Taken off guard, the only reason she had caught it was because she had fast reflexes, plus she'd used both her hands. They were the keys to his car.Katie was about to ask what was going on, when he spoke. "There are some places I need to get to today, and my chauffeur called in sick." He said. Katherine was bewildered. Was this bugger actually suggesting that she work as his chauffeur on her birthday, today of all days?! Never! Katie wanted to yell at him. To give him a slap right in the face, and pull his hair out from the roots. But she couldn't find the strength within herself to do such. "Hey, Nick, now's not a very good time." She found herself a

Katherine Cooper approached Nicholas Smith with maddening fury. She walked right up to him until they were staring eyeball to eyeball, their noses almost touching. He'd remained rigid on the spot he stood all the while, waiting for her. Not that she had expected him to flinch or take a step backwards, anyway."I just said, that you will not be taking up to an hour with whatever shit you gotta do in there, before you get your ass down here, so I can drive your sorry ass home!" She glowered, poking his rock hard wall of a chest with her finger. At that moment his lips hardened into a firm line, his expression darkening. Katie didn't care."Now, this is what is going to happen." She said, taking another step forward. Any more and she'd be walking right into him. "I give you ten minutes, Nicholas Smith!" Katie said, punctuating each word of his name with a poke. "Ten minutes no later." She reemphasized. Nick remained silent, a smirk tickling the corners of his lips. 'Ah, there she wa

Another well fulfilled day at Cole Corp had ended, and Katie couldn't have felt more elated. It was as though she'd received this…more bubbly, more optimistic, ten times more energetic version of herself recently. Or should she rather say- the day she'd had her birthday. Nearly everyone on the sixth floor had left, or was packing up to do so. That left her and Nick alone. It'd been days since they last worked on the policy together at the apartment,so Kate was not so sure what to do after shutting down her system that evening. Throwing a glance at him, Katie realized Nick was still as busy as ever on his system, his fingers typing with a speed she considered impressive for humans. Walking over to his office space, she leaned over the cubicle wall. "I know." Nick growled before she could let out a breath. "Why don't you wait for me in the car outside? I'll be down in a jiffy so we can proceed to the apartment." He added, his eyes still glued to his system. "Oh." Katie exclaimed. "O

Kate pulled out the old leather bag full of uncle John's handy tools from the drawer in the basement with a huff. Now that the wiring of her house was finally back on track again - thanks to Nicholas Smith once more, she had decided that the next repairs to be made to her beloved old house from her renovating list, was the plumbing. Recently, she'd had a lot on her mind with formulating the policy every evening after work with Nick, so her plans for renovation of home sweet home had been pushed off to the farthest part of her mind. Not since this morning, though. When she'd nearly been cooked alive in her tub with the water that ran down her pipes after she'd turned the faucet for a cold bath. That was the end of procrastination for her. She'd decided it right there and then that today would be the day she'd roll up her sleeves and get to work. All by herself. Katie couldn't lie, she was no plumber. In fact, she'd never even done anything related to fixing a leaky pipe before. But

This time, Katie cried out in fear. Nick swiftly caught her to himself. She buried her face in the crook of his neck. “It's alright, Katie. It's going to be alright.” He tenderly whispered. He held her tightly to himself as she sobbed softly. “Just don't move. Remain as still as possible.”Katherine bit down so hard on her lower lip She was certain if she didn't let go she would taste blood. In her mind, she could already see a mental picture of the horrible ways many of the victims of these monsters had died. Most of them being from all the horror movies she liked to watch. Was she going to die in such a gory manner as well, now? Through her state of panic, she felt Nick's hand soothingly running up and down her back, and she relaxed a little. She found herself nestling further into him, her face well hidden in the crook of his neck, his body temperature so warm and inviting to her skin when compared to the coolness of the water surrounding them. Instead of the doom looming roun

In no time they had all their swim gear on and were ready to dive. Katie had seen how beautiful the waters of Conrad Island from above. Now she got to see them from beneath. It was a wonderful warm day. The water shone a lovely turquoise-jade green color. “You ready?” Nick asked, and she nodded. She'd been hesitant to go snorkeling in the beginning, so why was she so excited now?“Let's stay close to each other just in case, okay?” He added, and then he put on his snorkel. Katherine dove in first, and then a second splash from above told her Nick was in too. They'd been submerged for less than an hour, and it was already a daydream. From colorful tropical fish, to seahorses, sea turtles and beautiful coral, there was much to see in the waters of Conrad Island. This underwater adventure was the most wonderful thing she done in all her life!Katie knew that these moments with Nick would be branded in the warmest part of her memory. The experience was sublime!It came as a mild surpri
LITTLE MISS KATE AND THE MAFIAN CEO Chapter 41
Katie's nightmare started like this. She was bolting full force across a deserted little road, in the midst of a violent storm. It was the middle of the night. A furious gale ripped at every tree and bush in sight. The pace at which she fled mirrored the pounding of her own heart in her rib cage. She was terrified of something…someone. Not far behind, a bearish growl of a voice cut through the storm. Menacing. Urgent. Advancing swiftly. “Don't let her escape!” It yelled. Her lips were quivering, and it had nothing to do with the ice-cold water drenching her from head to toe. Katherine dashed around a street corner and faltered. She'd run into a dead-end courtyard full of shops. “Looks like you've got nowhere else to run eh, bitch?’’ The monsterous voice called out suddenly. No time to backup! The dread that sliced through her was enough to drive her already tasked heart to cardiac arrest. Instead her body froze, and for a moment every other sound- but the rain pelting down
LITTLE MISS KATE AND THE MAFIAN CEO Chapter 40
All of a sudden, the water seemed to turn to ice! No wonder! She thought she'd felt that uncanny uneasiness one is apt to feel when being surreptitiously watched.“My goodness, Nick, you nearly gave me a heart attack!’’ Katie snapped in a panic, failing in a desperate attempt to reach for her robe, or at least cover herself.A part of her consciousness chided her for being so silly. After all, she wasn't naked. She was putting on a ‘very appropriate’ two piece bathing suit. “And nothing more!” A naughty voice chipped in, flawing her newly built armor of confidence before it was even fully on.Katie gasped in a quick breath, forcing herself to relax, yet she still shyly dunked upper body into the water so only from her shoulders upward were left exposed. If only she'd seen the amused look on Nick's face at her little panicky display of shyness.Unknown to her, he'd seen it all already.At first he was a little surprised when he sighted Katie coming over to the pool. He'd been right t

After moments of anticipation, Katherine was fully aware of where they were going before their plane touched down in Malè, the Maldives. But where exactly in the Maldives were they going? That part, to a great extent, remained a mystery as Nick refused to spill the beans no matter how deviously she coaxed. Eventually, Katie gave up, leaving the answers to her questions to be provided by time. A part of her was still having a hard time believing that everything she'd experienced in the last two days was real, and not just another sweet dream. The Maldives was such a ‘hot’ place to be. Recently, a friend of hers had returned from her ‘picture perfect’-as she'd described it, honeymoon in a special resort in the Maldives, and she'd said it was so romantic. Actually, now that she thought about it, her friend wasn't the only one. Everyone was talking about how great a vacation to the Maldives was. Much so that even she, curious for a personal experience of such a dreamy place, had p

Katie couldn't explain why her heart skipped a beat as soon as a knock finally sounded on her door early that morning. Perhaps, it was because she'd been anticipating it since she had an early rise by six. Maybe it was for some other reason, either way she couldn't tell why.Dashing up from her bed, she skidded to a halt at the large dressing mirror, taking a moment to scrutinize her appearance.Kate pushed back a loose strand of hair behind her ears, and by then another knock sounded. Hurrying off to the door full of smiles, she dragged it open and her face fell.The cheery gray eyes staring back at her were those of a stranger.“Good morning, miss.” “Good morning.” Katherine replied dryly. The young hotel attendant flushed at her tone. “Oh. I'm so sorry. Were you expecting someone else?” She asked. She was quite calculative. Katie affected a small smile. “No, it's fine. What are you here for?” “Oh. W-well, since it's late enough for you to be awake, I was sent to ask what you'd

"Did I say our? I meant your hotel room." He said, smirking at the breath of relief she let out in that instant. "Unless you prefer we made it ours?" He teased, lowering his face to hers. Nick chuckled at the bright red color she turned in that instant. Easing the door open, he parted way for her to enter, before going in after her. The match had just begun by the time they'd arrived the massive stadium and Kate could already feel thrilled.Surprisingly, everywhere was already packed with mostly Emiratirs. A few foreigners poked out here and there too. Nick had somehow gotten them VIP seats with the most wonderful view of the pitch.No sooner had they taken their seats that the match kicked off with frenzied excitement. Katie kept a steady flow of comments the entire time, unable to hide her excitement. Meanwhile Nick remained silent, watching intently all the while."Which team do you think is doing better?''Katie tapped his hand gently, her excited face beaming with smiles. Turni

Katie woke up to the sound of the P.A. announcing that the plane would be touching down soon. Instinctively her eyes moved to the side in search of Nick, but to her surprise he wasn't there. Then how was it that the earthy scent of him was all around her? Looking down, Katie realized his suit jacket was over her. He must have put it over her when she'd slept in case she got cold. Katherine knew she was crazy to think this, but a part of her was willing to be deluded for the sweetness of it. It was so enthralling to know that somehow, in some way, Nick cared about her. She sat up at once, turning her head from side to side in search of Nick, slightly concerned. Thankfully she caught sight of him coming back towards their seats in a moment. "You're finally awake, sleeping beauty." He teased, a sarky gloss to the edge of his tone. "I was thinking you were going to remain that way until I woke you with true love's first kiss." He continued, and Katie snorted out a laugh to hide her t

By now some of the other security guards had smelt a rat and were all rushing towards them already because they'd started attracting attention. Katherine was barely a few heartbeats from pouncing on Nicholas Smith when the security guard pulled her back by the collar. "Katie, when did you leave my side?! I've been looking for you all over!'' He said with affected concern and they both froze. Katie in bewilderment, the security guard to see who it was that spoke."You know this woman, sir?" He asked, turning to Nick now. "Yes. She's with me." Nick answered, going round the width of him so that he was now standing directly beside Kate.In a twinkling, his quick hand snaked itself around her waist and firmly pulled her body to his. Letting out a gasp in shock, Katie whipped her head to the side as soon as she felt his hand burn a sizzling hot path along the cool material of her dress. "Can you not play along just once!" He subtly hissed into her ear, his warm breath tickling the sensi
