She walked into the office the next morning with her resignation letter in her bag, this was going to be her last day here, there was no need for her to come back, her replacement were already working here, she felt bad for not keeping her promise but he didn't need her around anyway, and her leaving will do him good too, looking around the place that has been her everyday life for seven years she felt sad letting it go, but she needed a clean start, she plans on taking a long vacation till the end of the year before she goes back to work, this time she was going to do her own thing not work under anybody, she plans on opening her own clothing line, she has always loved fashion and had enough money saved to help her open one, if they are not enough she is gonna get help from her parents, but she knew what she had would go a long way, now she felt a little form of pride knowing she had enough saved.
"Hi Betty, Toni,"She greeted the two new secretaries that she has been worKatrina held on to the bat, holding her breath as the front door opened, her hands were shaking and she felt cold to her toes, she closed her eyes hoping that whoever was coming would be Lucas."Kat?"She heard her name and let out a heavy sigh of relief, it was Lucas after all, she dropped the bat and stood there, he walked in looking at her."Kat? Are you okay? What happened?"He asked walking close to her, her legs couldn't carry her anymore so she just sat down on the floor there, he rushed to her side, and held her, she didn't have the strength to remove his hands from her, her fear had drained all her energy."Hey, are you alright?"He asked examining her, she took a deep breath to gather strength."I am okay, I was just scared someone might have broken in, don't worry I am fine now,"She said removing his hands from her body."You don't look fine, your hands are shaking, what happened? Why would you think someone broke in?"He
"What's the meaning of this Katrina? Why are you doing this? Is this how far you will go to get what you want?"He asked picking up the letter she dropped on the table and placing it back in her hands."Lucas,""I am not going to take that from you, we had an agreement,""Lucas, come on,"He stared at her wordlessly, her outstretched hands bore the letter that would end their relationship for good, he didn't want this, didn't want her to quit on him, he still needed her around, yes his other assistants were doing a good job but Katrina was his best."I thought you promised that you won't quit on me? Can't you at least keep that promise? Why do I have to suffer because of your choices? Or did you forget you made a promise?""Yeah I did, I remember, but I don't think I am needed here anymore, and what more I need to start thinking of myself first, this place is no longer healthy for me, and I want a clean start,""I am not taking that from you,
"Are you going to keep this up? Should I go get Lucas or are you going to move on? Because this is getting really serious, it's been three weeks and you are still like this,"Jordan said in a rather harsh tone, Katrina couldn't blame him for getting tired of her, she was tired of herself too, three weeks has passed since she quit her job and told Lucas she was moving on but so far she hasn't done any of that, the only thing she has done these past two weeks was cry and eat which made her gain weight, she hasn't even been out of the house for three weeks now, she looked pitiful, when she had left Lucas at the apartment, she had driven to Starbucks and ordered enough junk and had driven home and stuffed herself with it, watched TV, the first day had been great, she didn't even cry but then reality dawn on her two days later and since then she has been in absolute pain and hurt."I am sorry Jord, I just can't help it okay, I wanna stop but I can't, it as if I can't control my
When she opened her eyes again she was in an unfamiliar room, she looked around and noticed she was in a hospital bed, she tried to get up but she was too dizzy to, she wondered what happened and how long she has been passed out, she closed her eyes and tried to remember what happened and all she could come up with was her talking to Jordan when she found out she was pregnant, her eyes opened in bewilderment when she recurs that she was indeed pregnant, she thought it was just a dream, she gradually opened her eyes again just as Jordan walked in."Hi baby girl, you are finally awake,"He said sitting on the chair close to her bed."Yes, but my head hurts so bad, what happened?""Your body was too stressed, according to the doctor which is what lead to you collapsing,""How long have I been out Jordan?""Hmm, about two days,""What? That's a lie right?""No, it's not, your body was so stressed that you have slept for almost forty-eight hours, w
" Lucas, you really made the mistake of letting her go, why are you so stubborn?"Leah, asked."Can we not talk about this again please, I don't want to talk about this alright,""You are not going to hear the end of it brother, not when you stupidly let a woman that was meant for you go,"Lilac chipped in, Lucas could only roll his eyes in disapprove, these ladies were out to get him and he wasn't going to give them the chance to, it's been over three months since Katrina left, and so far he has been doing well, well not totally true, he had been a mess the first month she had left, it felt like huge chunk of him had been pulled off and it had taken over a month to find the balance again and now he was okay, two months three weeks, five days and twelve hours since she left him, he didn't know why he was counting the days and hours but he found himself knowing despite how busy he was, there was always something to remind him of her whether it's when he forg
"Katrina?"Katrina heard Jordan call as she got off the phone with her mom."Yes, Jordan? I didn't hear you come in,"She said, she had been too immersed with the talk with her mom who still wanted to know who the father of her kid was, but she wasn't ready to tell her parents just yet, she hasn't even had the mind to go tell Lucas still even after promising to do it last week, and she saw on TV recently that Lucas was opening the hotels, earlier than she had thought but she wasn't surprised, the dude had the money, she had made sure not to keep up on him and also told Jordan not to keep her updated in what's going on at the office, after she found out she was pregnant she had made the decision not to leave New York at least not yet."Don't kill me, okay but you have some visitors, I couldn't say no to them,"He said with his hands folded down as if he did something bad."Who?""Lucas's older sisters,"He revealed and Katrina got up from the b
"Are you sure about this Jord? I know I promised Leah and Lilac that I will attend but I don't think I should,"Katrina said to Jordan while she got dressed for the party, she could imagine Jordan rolling his eyes at her over the phone but she was scared and nervous enough not to care."We talked about this girl, you have to,"He replied, he was already at the venue as his boss had called him last minute and he had left, he called just to tell her he went ahead to the venue after he was done at the office, she was already dressed, she just didn't feel like leaving the house, she stood up and checked her reflection in the mirror, the dress the ladies had helped her pick was a beautiful blue evening gown, it was simple yet it fitted her so well but she was scared everyone is gonna take one look at her and know she was pregnant."I should just call him and tell him over the phone,"She said sitting back down in resignation."No way lady, you come to the pa
Katrina was too shocked to say a word or even clap, everyone was clapping, but her mind seemed to be locked in the past, few minutes ago, Lucas, he said, could it be? Or was she overthinking it, but his words, the way he looked at her while he said them, she replayed it over and over again,"Kat? Can we talk?"She looked up in shock as he stood in front of her, she hadn't known when he left the podium but he was standing in front of her, he looked fresh and handsome as always, his familiar swell hit her nostrils, oh how much she missed that swell, how much she missed him."Kat?""Right now, the ceremony is just starting,""Go with him Katrina, my dad is giving a speech so, it's nothing much,"Leah said patting her, she looked at the podium and Lucas's parents were there, she didn't even know."Shall we?"He asked stretching his hand, she took it and they both walked out of the auditorium, her heart was beating so fast, what did he want to ta
