"Why would you say that in front of my parents? You almost got me in trouble!" Becky's tone held a mix of laughter and frustration as they stepped out of the taxi in front of the airport.

"I had to," Diana replied with a defiant look. "Manni has done enough damage. Just her look is enough to set me off. Why should she act all innocent when she's the one causing all the problems?"

So engrossed in their conversation, Becky and Diana didn’t even notice the driver, who had already taken out their luggage and was waiting nearby. With a sigh, he cleared his throat, clearly trying to remind them of his presence.

"See what you caused," Diana said playfully, nudging Becky as she opened her bag and handed the driver his fare. "You’re always tiptoeing around the truth. Let your parents know who Manni really is!"

"How many times do I have to say."

"You should’ve just told them the truth, Becky. It’s for your own good. They need to see she’s the troublemaker in the house," Diana insisted. "I t

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Chapter 20 At all costs- The burial date

    The knock on the door came at the worst possible moment, a day after Becky had left the house and traveled with her friend, Diana. The air in the Scholes' home still hung heavy with unspoken tension. Especially what Diana wanted Becky to say, but she refused. It wasn't clear to her parents if Manni was the cause or not, since Becky refused to open up. “Please, Manni, can you check who it is?” Mr. Scholes said as he paused on the staircase. “I hope it's not Becky,” she muttered with a secret facial expression. Manni, who was descending with her handbag in hand, nodded as if anything was wrong. Her outfit suggested she was heading out to the office that morning. “Alright, Dad,” she replied, walking toward the door. When she opened it, her breath caught. Standing there was a tall man, dressed in a black suit with dark glasses obscuring his eyes. He exuded an intimidating presence, his hands buried deep in his pockets. For a long moment, neither of them spoke. Finally, Manni broke the

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Chapter 21- Afraid of her reaction

    It was many hours away since Diana came back after submitting their names for the annual business summit. What appeared to be a mistake gave Diana restless thoughts. Was there a way to kick it out of her mind? This must be the biggest mistake of the year for her. While in the back of the car coming back, she rested the back of her head against the seat. The moment she closed her eyes, she heard the exact statement that Mrs Darlington said, “...let her bear that name, it's just a day.” Her breath went up. As she came down and tried to hide her worry, it was spotted by Becky. How wouldn't she find out from her suppressed facial expressions? They were best friends for God sake. When Diana stepped into the house, and she didn't know that Becky had saw her first through the window in the sitting room, Becky asked while standing and walking up to her at the door. “What happened? Has the collection of the names over?” “Oh no…” she adjusted her gown, buying time and thinking of what to say

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Chapter 22- Will the coffin be empty?

    Manni couldn't contain her joy the moment Mr. Tom left her office. Her response to him had not only made him leave but also ensured that the suitcase of cash stayed behind on her desk. The sight of the crisp, sparkling new notes made her heart race. She smiled as the entire interaction replayed vividly in her mind.“Are you sure you will give me this just to tell you the date of my sister's burial?” she had asked, her voice trembling with disbelief. Something like this wasn't forthcoming.“Absolutely, they are yours,” Mr. Tom replied without hesitation.“The date hasn’t been fixed yet, but I’ll inform you as soon as my parents finalize it,” she had said.She remembered how Mr. Tom extended his hand toward her, his firm grip sealing their agreement.“Good deal. Take my card. Your call will be greatly appreciated,” he had added with a slight smile.When Manni blinked and opened her eyes, those thoughts disappeared, but one thing remained—the suitcase of cash. Alone in her office, she st

  • Please! Marry Me Again    chapter 23- I wish she never died.

    A Monday Like No Other. It was rare for Alexander to miss a Monday morning at the office. His routine was almost sacred, each movement timed and precise, a testament to his discipline. But today was different. The silence of his grand compound was broken by the sound of his hurried steps as he paced back and forth between the driveway and his huge building.“Boss is still at home!” one of the household staff whispered to a colleague in disbelief.“Maybe the death of his wife is finally getting to him,” another ventured cautiously.“But when she was alive, did he ever really care? Could it be that he loves her more in the grave?” the third added with a sarcastic chuckle, quickly glancing over his shoulder to ensure no one else was listening.“Don’t drag me into your morning gossip,” a fourth interjected, his tone sharp. “Am I laughing? Where is Humphrey now? He left because of how our boss treated his late wife.” Out of nowhere, they saw Alexander walking towards them, making them co

    Jude had just rounded the corner of his compound, heading towards his car. With a flick of his wrist, he spun the keys around his finger, wearing a smile that was as captivating as it was seductive. Dressed in a perfectly tailored dark blue suit, he looked every bit charming. The sun was setting, casting a warm, golden glow over the landscape when his phone began to buzz in his pocket.“Adams is calling. What does he want now? I told him I’ll go,” Jude said to himself, already slipping one leg inside the car. He adjusted his position, settling into the driver’s seat and pulling out his phone with a sigh.“Hello, bro,” he answered, keeping his tone smooth, relaxed—polite, even. The bond between the two brothers was strong from the way he answered him.“Jude, did you still see Miss Helen yesterday?” Adams asked without preamble. “I’m hearing that she’s out with her friend at a bar.”Jude paused, irritated for a moment. “We agreed I’d go to her house today,” he reminded his brother.Adam

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Chapter 25- A warning at the grave

    It was 7:30 a.m., a quiet, somber morning. This was the day Mr. Tom had dreaded ever since he told his boss that Mrs. Alexander would finally be laid to rest. Inside his room, Alexander stood before the mirror, already dressed in a black shirt and trousers. His personal assistant was fastening the buttons of his tailored black suit, his hands trembling slightly as he felt the usual breath of his boss."What time is the burial?" Alexander's voice broke the heavy silence. It wasn’t the usual commanding tone that struck fear or respect into everyone around him. Today, it was fragile, as though the air barely passed through his throat."Eight a.m., sir," the assistant replied quietly.Alexander nodded but didn’t move to leave the room immediately. Instead, he turned toward the bathroom, his steps deliberate and sharp. Tom assumed he had forgotten something and he was right.Inside the bathroom, Alexander’s gaze fell on the portrait of his late wife, Becky, hanging against the large mirror

    It has been mourning for Mr Alexander. His heart was literally cut into two seeing his late wife's coffin go down. Each time he closed his eyes, his subconscious mind brought those scenes before his mind. “I am sorry for the death of your wife,” Mr Tom said when they got home with a heavy heart. He has not seen his boss broken down like this before. Alexander didn't say a word at first. He took some steps and because he didn't want any disturbances he turned and said to Tom. “Don’t bother to check on me, I will be fine. I am giving you off, go, go.” He tightened his lips not to break down in the presence of his other staff. No matter how he hid it, it became more obvious. “Our boss has never had such facial expressions,” one of them said after several minutes when Alexander had gone and they heard the way he slammed the door. “What happened to him?” Another confronted Mr Tom as he was about to leave. He paused and looked at the direction of the way leading to his boss' roo

    “Sir, it's been two days now that you haven't eaten something. This is not good for your health?” Mr Philip, chef of Mr Alexander's house was at a safe distance and he poured out his mind to his boss. Alexander sat down on his couch in his room close to the window. He paid no attention to him or responded to him by looking in his direction. At Alexander's feet were empty bottles of alcoholic wine. Mr Philip wanted for a few seconds and added, “I have been your cook for so long and I have never seen you in this kind of situation before. Please, eat, I prepared your best meal.” Still, Alexander kept him quiet. His face was down, probably his eyes were open or closed. “The calories that this alcohol gives you are an artificial source of energy. They are not good for your body…” “Do you know that I lost my dear wife? Have you lost someone that you love so dearly before? Have you ever had to bear such a burden before?” Alexander for the first time turned his face and looked at

  • Please! Marry Me Again    A Home of My Own

    Kathrine’s POVI felt so dizzy I might have collapsed if I hadn’t been sandwiched between Henry and Noah, their strong bodies holding me up. The kitten, tired of being squished, had climbed onto my shoulder, her tiny claws pricking my skin.Was this real? Had I slipped into some alternate reality? Maybe the almond milk my mom gave me had sent me into a coma, and this was all just a dream. Because who in the world gives their girlfriend a house for her nineteenth birthday?But it wasn’t the price tag or the extravagance of the gift that hit me the hardest. It was the understanding.Henry and Noah knew. They knew that for the past three and a half years, my life had been nothing but temporary, unstable, unreliable, and downright terrifying. When I lost my dad, I lost my home, my safety, my security. I’d followed my mom from one boyfriend’s place to another, always feeling like an unwanted third wheel, always at the mercy of strangers. I thought I’d built up a tough shell, that I was str

  • Please! Marry Me Again    The Unexpected Gift

    Kathrine’s POVI wasn’t expecting any more gifts from the Robert brothers. They’d already spoiled me with flowers, a fancy stainless steel water bottle, an incredible dinner on the gazebo, and those stunning rings. I couldn’t stop twisting the rings on my finger, just to remind myself this was real. This wasn’t some scene from one of my romance novels—this was my life.But when they drove me out to the waterfall, I almost melted. It was such a sweet, romantic gesture, taking me back to where it all kind of began. Okay, technically, it started at the Professor’s house, but our first real date was here, at the swimming hole under the man-made waterfall. That was the moment I started to believe I could actually be with both of them.When we arrived, there was a blanket laid out on the grass, scattered with rose petals. A vase of fresh flowers sat beside a white box tied with a big red bow. They sat facing me, their eyes full of anticipation, like they were waiting for something huge. It

  • Please! Marry Me Again    She’s so cute

    Henry’s povI woke up before the sun even started to rise, the sky still dark over the mountains. Kathrine was curled up next to me, our legs tangled together with Noah’s. My brother was on the other side of her, holding her close while she faced me. At some point during the night, we’d kicked off the blankets, but the three of us together kept the bed warm and cozy.When Noah and I planned her late birthday dinner, we never imagined it would end the way it did, with the most incredible, unforgettable night of my life. Maybe even our lives. I reached for her hand in the dark, my fingers brushing over the ring she now wore. She’d accepted it. She’d accepted us.Kathrine stirred, stretching with a soft groan. “Oh my God,” she mumbled, her voice still heavy with sleep. She threw a leg over mine and sighed. “I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus. No, make that two buses.”I smiled, brushing her hair back from her face. Even in the dim light, I could see how beautiful she looked. “I’m sorry,

  • Please! Marry Me Again    I could go anywhere I wanted

    Kathrine’s POVI should have done this a long time ago. Sliding behind the wheel of my new car, I gripped the steering wheel a little tighter than necessary, just to remind myself that it was real, this was real. The scent of pine-tree air freshener mixed with the sharp, chemical tang of whatever they used to polish the interior at the dealership. It wasn’t exactly pleasant, but it smelled like freedom. Like a fresh start.No more asking for permission. No more borrowing keys. No more waiting for some taxi driver to show up at his own pace. This was my car, and I could go anywhere I wanted, whenever I wanted.It should have been a good feeling, liberating, even but there was a dull ache gnawing at the back of my mind.My mother wasn’t speaking to me.Late last night, I’d heard her voice sharp and angry, drifting from the other end of the house. I couldn’t make out every word, but I didn’t have to. I knew exactly what the argument was about.She must have gone to Weah, her voice rising

  • Please! Marry Me Again    I want to sleep with her tonight

    Noah’s PovEven though Kathrine was trying to hide it, I could see she was upset. When I got to the dojo, she was already there. She had taken off her jacket, put on boxing gloves, and was hitting the heavy bag hard. She wasn’t just practicing, she was putting all her strength into every punch and kick. I could almost feel the force of her hits. Her face was red, her breath was sharp with each strike, and sweat was running down her neck.It was impressive and attractive, but also a little scary.I wouldn’t want to be that bag, but that wasn’t what worried me. It was the way she was fighting, so intense, so focused, so fierce. It was like she was fighting for her life. Or maybe she was punishing herself.After what Henry told me about her meeting with her mom, I thought it might be a mix of both. I wasn’t sure if I should stop her or let her keep going. Since we were in the dojo and she was higher-ranked than me, I felt unsure of what to do.Luckily, Clement noticed something was wrong

  • Please! Marry Me Again    I need to know

    Kathrine’s Pov“Time to face the executioner,” I muttered under my breath as I opened the door and headed downstairs to confront my mother. My purse was slung over one shoulder, and I could hear the keys to my new car jingling inside, almost as if they were taunting me. I kept my face calm and composed, but inside, my stomach was churning with nerves. I had no idea how my mother was going to react, and I really didn’t want Henry to witness it if she completely lost it.I found her pacing back and forth between the living room and the kitchen. She had kicked off her heels by the back door and I mean kicked. One of them had flown halfway across the room. Her hair, which had been neatly tied up, was now loose and floating around her flushed face. Her pupils were tiny pinpoints, and she was shaking with anger. She was furious, and it showed in every movement.I took a deep breath, trying to detach myself from her emotional state. It wasn’t easy. Her stress and anxiety felt like invisible

  • Please! Marry Me Again    You bought a car?

    Kathrine's povBuying my own car might have been a little impulsive, but I didn’t regret it. Well, not entirely. The process wasn’t exactly smooth, though. I had to visit three different dealerships before I found a salesman who actually took me seriously. The first one looked me straight in the eye and told me to come back with my parents. Can you believe that? The second one laughed in my face when I said I wasn’t interested in financing and planned to pay in cash. It was frustrating, to say the least. But at the third dealership, I finally found a guy who treated me like an adult. We talked about the pros and cons of different cars within my budget, and after some back-and-forth, I settled on a modest, older Toyota with low mileage. It wasn’t flashy, but it was reliable and affordable.I paid for the car in full and drove it off the lot, feeling a mix of pride and guilt. This was my first car, and it should’ve been a happy moment, but instead, I couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling in

  • Please! Marry Me Again    How much longer?

    Henry’s POV“How much longer?” I barked into the phone, my patience hanging by a thread.“We’ll wrap up by Tuesday,” said Guy Wilson, the contractor I hired to handle the asbestos cleanup at the old factory. “After that, you’ve got to wait at least 48 hours for the air to clear. Honestly, with a job this big, I’d give it a full week before we run the final tests to make sure it’s safe.”I rubbed my eyes, frustration gnawing at me. A week shouldn’t feel like a lifetime, but with the chaos at home, it felt like an eternity.I always knew Kathrine’s mom wouldn’t be on board with us, but I didn’t expect her to go full attack mode. The way she tore into Kathrine was disgusting, shaming her, calling her awful names. It made me sick.That morning at breakfast, Clara dropped the bomb. “You’re grounded,” she announced, her tone dripping with superiority. “And you’re not touching your car. Got it?”Kathrine didn’t even blink. She just raised an eyebrow, squeezed a lemon into her water bottle li

  • Please! Marry Me Again    The outsider

    Kathrine's POVThis wasn’t going to blow over. I could feel it in my bones, like the ache of a storm before it hits. The tension in the house was thick enough to cut with a knife, and I knew it was only a matter of time before everything came crashing down. Unless I walked away from whatever this thing was between the Robert brothers and me, my mom and Weah would keep pushing. And I’d be the one caught in the crossfire.I was the odd one out here. The outsider. The girl who didn’t belong in the Robert’ world. And honestly, I could see why my mom was so uncomfortable. Weah, her professor boyfriend, was all about appearances. He was the kind of guy who ironed his socks and probably had a spreadsheet for his grocery list. I could practically see him breaking things off with her if I caused too much of a scene. The thought made my stomach twist.Even if I ignored my mom and Weah, this thing with the twins was a risk. A huge one. Relationships were messy enough, but with two brothers? It w
