Meant To Be Yours CHAPTER FOURTEEN: A POET AT HEART
After so much shopping, Aidan wanted to puke out his breakfast. He was already regretting his decision to use Nathalie to test Kate; it was such a stupid plan anyway but it was working. The day before, he had heard everything and had enjoyed every minute of her discomfort but he had discovered one thing.Kate would never admit to loving him because she was too moralistic for that. And by the way Kate had behaved yesterday, he was damned sure that she returned his feelings and had decided to confront her. The jealousy game was working but he could wait no longer. They had only two weeks and four days left and he had to take a decision as soon as possible.But Kate had been nowhere to be seen that morning. Not even for breakfast. When he had politely broached the subject, he had learnt that she had gone out with her father. It was then he remembered she was supposed to be vetting the food arrangement as Judith had asked her yesterday.Impatient, he paced on the alley of the garden waiti
Meant To Be Yours CHAPTER FIFTEEN: HELL BREAKS LOOSE
Kate felt like she was the luckiest girl alive as Aidan kissed her fervently and passionately. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that he would love her back; had almost given up hope of having her love returned.When she had realized that she was biased and would never find another woman good enough for Aidan, she had decided to confess her feelings to him. After breaking off her commitment to Edward that is. She could not allow herself to face the reality of never loving someone else whilst she was still engaged to another; it would be too much for her to bear. That was why she had called her fiancé for dinner to talk to him and return his ring.Edward Bigfoot had not taken the news so sportively and she had needed all her patience to explain to him the situation. Apparently, Edward was an even bigger fool than she had contemplated; he had not even a small hint that there was something wrong in their relationship.“Why Kate? Why two weeks before the wedding?” he had asked
Meant To Be Yours CHAPTER SIXTEEN: THE PASSIONATE INTERLUDE
Aidan was getting impatient. It was already eight thirty and he had not seen Kate that morning. She had not been present for breakfast but neither had most of the family. He had sent her three text messages but she had not replied to any of them and he was starting to get worried.After the drama of last night, he had thought that the storm would calm down but was apparently wrong. Something must have happened today for Kate to have disappeared like that. Hell! If only she had given him a hint about what was going on, he would have accompanied her. But she was so damn independent.At first when she had asked him not to mention that they were together, he had been stunned and had not known how to react. Was she ashamed of what was between them? But when she had explained, he had been surprised at her perceptiveness. It was their only choice after all to exonerate their relationship.It was going to look bad anyway. Whatever they said, it was going to sound as if they had cheated on Big
Meant To Be Yours CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: THE LOVE TEST
Kate sighed as she contemplated the options she had now. It was all her fault; she had been feeling so guilty after leaving the Bigfoot house that she had wanted a diversion. But she should have known that they were bound to be discovered.Hell, she had been playing with fire when she had locked the door knowing that seven years of pent-up desire and hidden feelings would have unleashed in an explosive outcome. Which it had. The passionate sexual interlude she had just had with Aidan was proof enough that they were made for each other.While she had left to the Bigfoot house, she had known that Aidan would eventually find out about her whereabouts. And she had felt bad when Aidan had been worried about her and she had been in a hurry to make it up to him. And now she had fallen in her own trap; she had no other option than to brace herself for the uproar.Which came with a bang!“Oh my God!!” Caitlin Thornton exclaimed standing outside the door with her son in her arms. It was obvious
Meant To Be Yours CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: WHAT WAS MEANT TO BE
Finally! The truth was out in the open. Aidan did not know how much he had wanted her to confess her feelings for him loud until she just did it. It was as if he had been waiting for that moment all his life and he felt his chest sag with relief.And instead of looking shocked, everyone was grinning from ear to ear looking at each other with knowing looks. Which made Aidan frown. Now, wait a minute! They already knew?? How?? He had taken so much effort during the last two weeks to hide their feelings by avoiding each other. And all for nothing.As he glanced at Kate, he nearly smiled at her priceless expression. It was also the conclusion she came up with since she stared at everyone one by one looking for a trace of surprise on each face. And found none! It would seem that everybody already knew about their “hidden” relationship! Damn!“Mom?” she asked uncertainly her chest heaving with exhaustion after her outburst. And Aidan moved towards her as an attempt to provide her some suppo
Meant To Be Yours EPILOGUE: FREE TO BE YOURS
SIX MONTHS LATER….Kate looked down at her vibrating mobile with a frown. Why would her secretary pass her any calls when she had given her strict instructions not to disturb her while she was in the middle of an important audit?Staring at the unknown number, she swiped the screen to take the call feeling annoyed that she had to write everything down so as not to forget what she had been doing.“Mary? What is it?” she snapped busy in writing down her figures.“Sorry Kate. This is important,” her secretary told her and before she had time to protest, the latter put the call through.“Kate?” greeted the familiar voice she had been dying to hear all weekend but instead of feeling happy she got even more irritated. It had been more than six months now since she had seen him and she had fought everyday with him to weaken his resolve. But Aidan had been stubbornly sticking to the stupid promise he had made to her father. Not even once had he relented and met her secretly and it was a punis
Meant To Be Yours BOOK 2 EPILOGUE: THE WEDDING
BOOK2: What was meant to be.... Aidan Flint Waldorf was the luckiest man on earth. He was getting married to a wonderful woman Katherine Iris Thornton. The one who had loved and waited for him for a very long time. Life couldn’t get better. That was what he believed until his bride did not show up for the wedding. And the only explanation was that she was gone! Gone where? Gone when? Gone why? There were so many questions unanswered and he wanted to resolve them as quickly as possible. His heart knew his Katie would never leave unless she had some valid reasons. And it was up to him to find out what those were. Was she in some kind of danger? He vowed to himself he would find his Kate back even if it meant going to hell and back. -------------------------*************************************-------------------------------- Aidan stood looking in the mirror feeling his heart pound in his chest. One year ago, if somebody would have told him he would have ended up in marriage,
Meant To Be Yours BOOK 2 CHAPTER ONE: THE LOST BRIDE
Still in deep shock, Aidan Waldorf could still not focus what was happening in reality. It was as if he had zapped out to another universe where his mind was bombarded with questions one after the other. Why was Kate no longer here? Where was she? Had she freaked out at the last minute and decided to skip the wedding? Or has something happened to her? The only thing which kept him sane was the fact that Kate might be in some kind of danger and all he knew was that he had to find her. It was what his instincts were telling him and for the first time of his life, his heart was in synch with his mind. But it didn’t make him feel better. Standing up still in a daze, he ignored the noises around him and ran towards the door focusing only on what he was supposed to do. Only to be stopped by a pair of hands and he whirled round to see it was Ryce Vin Connor. His best friend. His brother. But he was in no mood for the comfort Ryce as offering. It would serve no purpose until he had Kate wi

SOME MONTHS LATER…..“Have you any news of him today?” asked Kate as soon as he got home. It was becoming a habit now. Every evening it was the first question his lovely wife asked him. Before she even asked her how was his day.Kate had recovered from her minor injuries and he was thankful that she had managed to escape the evil intention of Bryan Stafford. Aidan knew it was something that was bothering her. The fact that her brother-in-law was still out there somewhere. But he did not believe he was a threat anymore. He had wanted money and he knew there was no way he would get a single penny from them now.“No. The police are still looking for him. But frankly it’s been a while now and I’m sure they will drop the search. Bryan is a clever man and he would never dare show his face again. Stop worrying about him and come kiss me,” he said smiling at her.Without waiting to be asked twice, she ran in her arms and he had to brace himself against the impact. He grinned.“Now that’s so m
Meant To Be Yours BOOK 2 CHAPTER NINETEEN: DEAD OR ALIVE?
Aidan felt his blood chill at the sound. It was indistinct, muffled by distance but he could recognize it even when he was dead. It was Kate! Damn! Damn! He could not imagine the plight she must be in. It was only minutes since she had disappeared and Aidan had been looking for her like mad. He vowed not to let anyone harm her a second time. When Kate had suddenly disappeared, he had tried hard not to panic looking around expecting to find Ryce missing too. But he was perplexed to find his best friend standing beside him looking as worried as hell. And the only person missing had been Bryan Stafford. Oh holy shit! Ryce had nodded in his direction to confirm his doubt. It was the brother-in-law who had concocted such a conspiracy. No time to feel remorse for having doubted his best friend, they had immediately started to give each other instructions which way to go. But not before asking Alex to stay with the rest of the women in the cottage. Nobody had guessed what was going on than
Meant To Be Yours BOOK 2 CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: DANGER AHEAD
It had been Kate’s undoing. The look that Aunt Abigail had sent her had touched her deeply. It had been the look of a desperate mother who had just lost her only son and wanted something from her. Something she could not give simply because she did not know the truth.Feeling forlorn, she felt tears prick her eyes as she stepped back in an attempt to avoid the question being addressed to her. She stammered something unintelligible not knowing what to say. The plain truth was that she had no idea who the killer was and had only been bluffing.Aidan and Ryce had known she had been faking it and they had protected her. Like they had always done. The killer could not be Ryce; it was simply not possible. Her heart would never believe that. Even if he had wanted revenge, he would have attempted to harm her in a different way. Ryce would never try to kill her; it was unthinkable.All her instincts were telling her that it could be Nathalie since the hate she harbored for her was so intense t
Meant To Be Yours BOOK 2 CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: THE SURPRISE VISIT
Surprised to hear the furious outburst behind him, Aidan whirled around and stood in front of Kate to protect her out of sheer reflex. And he found himself facing a fuming Judith Thornton. Aw hell! Her timing sucked as usual.His new mother-in-law stood two feet away looking down at them with an angry and menacing expression. And as if it was not enough, the whole family stood behind her looking a bit less angry but somewhat stunned. In the heat of the moment, he completely forgot their dangerous situation and his heart constricted at the thought of the encounter between mother and daughter that would follow.It was simply not fair. Kate had decided to be selfish once in her entire life only to be immediately admonished. As if they had not suffered long enough. It had been three months since the wedding fiasco and they had not a moment of reprieve ever since.Even if inappropriate, he had understood her urgency to get married at such a delicate time of their life. While he had not com
Meant To Be Yours BOOK 2 CHAPTER SIXTEEN: INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY
“Can you believe it’s Nathalie?” Kate asked as soon as they reached back the cottage. She knew she had her moment of reprieve and that Aidan would never let her out of his sight again. But the shopping trip had done her a lot of good and she was happy to have met Ryce.“I don’t know what to think anymore,” replied Aidan enigmatically. “Let’s forget about that for a moment.”“Hmmm what else did you have in mind?” she asked coquettishly glad that Ryce had declined her offer to stay at the cottage. Not that the latter had actually declined but Aidan had quickly pointed out that they would be exposed to more risks if Ryce disappeared too.When Aidan smiled at her suggestive comment, she grinned back wanting to let go of all their worries for a moment. It had been so long since she had been happy and carefree. Like she had always been. How she had missed him. And the moments they had spent together. But in the turmoil, they had not even taken the time to reunite properly.It was no wonder
Meant To Be Yours BOOK 2 CHAPTER FIFTEEN: HIS PAST MISTAKE
Some things were easier said than done. Aidan could not sleep a wink after Kate left and even if he knew he was getting paranoid, he could not help wondering if he had done a right thing by letting her go alone. Not when there was someone out there thirsty for her blood.Finally after thirty minutes he gave up on sleep and double checked his mobile. Furious to see no missed calls in his call log and no new messages, he grabbed some money and his car keys from the shelf and headed for the door.A sense of foreboding overtook him when he dialed Kate’s number over and over but she was not answering. Brooklyn was familiar to him but he had no idea where Kate could be. And he was sure that she was not careless to forget calling him.“Damn!” he exclaimed in frustration heading towards the nearest shopping mall. But the problem with the Kings Plaza shopping center was that it was always full of people and looking for one particular person was like finding a needle in a haystack.Trying to ke
Meant To Be Yours BOOK 2 CHAPTER FOURTEEN: MOOT POINT
After having blurted out the first thing that came in her mind, Kate watched as extreme happiness filled Aidan’s face. Her Aidan. Her beloved. How the hell could she have forgotten him? Everything was clearer now. Her past, her life, her spoilt wedding.“Are you okay?’ he asked her still holding her hand and she nodded getting down the armchair. Feeling a bout of dizziness, she had to steady herself for a few seconds before putting on a brave smile. Even with her memory back, she was still feeling that fatigue and ever present headache.Groggily, she nodded and leant against Aidan for support. She was feeling so tired and mentally drawn. “I’m fine,” she replied unwilling to look at anything or anyone other than Aidan. It seemed like it had been ages since she had last seen him and some part of her had missed him.Certain things were still indistinct in her mind and she was still unable to bridge the gap between some events. For instance, it was difficult to discern what had happened j
Meant To Be Yours BOOK 2 CHAPTER THIRTEEN: GOT YOU BACK
There was an obvious change about her. Not in her personality but in the way she behaved. It was as if her love for him had set her free and she was no longer hesitant to explore her past. Or her sexuality. And she was more feisty than the Kate he had known.And he was starting to like it too damn much. So much that he almost forgot the problems impending on them like a heavy rain ready to drench them anytime. He wanted them to stay in that cottage forever. To stay like that forever.When she had confessed her love to him, it had been so unexpected that he had thought it was his imagination at first. Never in his wildest dreams had he thought that Kate would end up falling with him all over again even with her memory gone. It humbled him to be loved so much by someone so wonderful as her.And could not contain his immense joy when she had confirmed her love for him; it meant that whatever happened between them, they were always meant to be together. He had missed her so much that now
Meant To Be Yours BOOK 2 CHAPTER TWELVE: TO LOVE AGAIN
Kate could have killed herself as she stared at the desolate figure sitting on the edge of the bed in acute pain. It made her feel a deep pinch in her heart and guilt replaced the initial mortification. What the hell was wrong with her? She knew she should not have started anything she could not finish and it only made her a tease.But he had been so irresistible. Irresistible in the sense that she felt wonderful at the kind of trust he had in her. And wished she could trust him back like that. Suddenly, Kate started to wish fervently that she got her memory back because she knew she was missing something important here. It made her realize how much he loved her and she could not play with his feelings because she was not sure if she loved him that much.Looking at the forlorn figure in front of her, Kate wished she could undo the past. How stupid could she be? Why the hell had she been unable to resist him like that? Hell, she loved the way they interacted and guessed that they must
