"Boss, your mom is here" Alex said to Eric."Let her in," Eric replied.Katrina got up to welcome Eric's mom as she came in."Good afternoon Ma'am" Katrina said and hugged Eric's mom."Afternoon darling and happy Sunday to you" Mrs Salmadiego said."Same here Ma, though I didn't go to church " Katrina said smiling."I didn't go,"Mrs Salmadiego replied."Momma" Eric called as he stood up to hug his mom."Sweetheart, how are you doing? " his mom asked, pecking his cheek."I'm doing great, you?? " Eric asked."I'm doing good, " Mrs Salmadiego replied."What's going on here? I can see the atmosphere is looking bright and joyous. And is that popcorn I see over there? " Mrs Salmadiego asked."Mom... You always notice everything, " Eric said, putting his arm around her neck. He led her to a chair and she sat down."Sure. I wanted to be a detective, you know, " his mom said laughing."Well, Kat and I were watching a movie before you came in. We ate popcorn to make it more fun, "Eric explained
"Ma'am, she's out of the house. I just saw her walk out of the gate, " Molly's spy said.She smiled on hearing this."What should we do next? " her spy asked."I think she's going to the market. Kidnap her immediately before she stops a taxi " Molly ordered."Where should we take her? " her spy asked."I would text you the address immediately. Are your boys ready? Is the car ready?" Molly asked."We're all ready," he replied."Good. I want you to do a clean job" She commanded."Okay Ma" he replied.Molly ended the call and sent the address to him.**** Katrina was on her way to the market. Eric already left for work with Tom and Alex.She walked some distance away from the house.

Eric was surprised when Alvin told him he couldn't get hold ofKatrina. "What? " Eric asked."I tried calling her but her phone was switched off " Alvin said and his heart skipped a beat."What!! " Eric screamed.It's unusual for Katrina to switch off her phone.Where could she be??She doesn't have any friends, none that Eric knows of so the possibility of her being with her friend is canceled.Eric brought out his phone from his pocket and dialed her number. It was switched off."Did she tell you the market she was going to? " Eric asked Alvin."Yes, she told me she's going to Big Joe's supermarket, " Alvin replied."I think I have the number of the sales girl and the manager. Let me call the sales girl, " Eric said.He dialed the number of the sales girl and she answered the call instantly."Hello, good evening. This is Big Joe's supermarket." The sales girl said on answering the call."Good evening." Eric greeted."How can I help you?" She asked."Did anyone by the name Katrina A
Eric was surprised to see Molly tonight. He was more surprised when she hugged him and patted his back."Let me sleep over tonight. You need someone to keep you company, so you don't over think" Molly said.Eric nodded. He really needs the company. He was missing Katrina already."But nothing is going to happen between us tonight " Eric said."I know " Molly replied and Eric gave her a "thank you smile ""You need to freshen up. You've not changed your work clothes yet" she said."I totally forgot, I'm going to do that now" Eric said.Eric stood up from where he was sitting."I'm going to take my bath " Eric said to Molly and she nodded.He climbed the stairs to his room. He passed by Katrina's room, he stopped at the door and turned the knob. It was locked.Eric orced himself to walk to his room. He removed his clothes when he got in and walked straight to the bathroom to take his bath.--------Eric felt a little bit relaxed after taking his bath. He changed into something more co
After the police left, Molly stayed behind for a while before leaving too. She needed to go see Katrina, she needed to taunt her.Molly packed her things and put on a new dress."Hey Eric, I would like to go home now. I have things to do at home. Don't worry I will be back and I'm expecting to receive good news on my return " She said to Eric,who was still sitting on a chair in the living room." Alright, thanks a lot Molly, '' he said."Won't you give me a hug? " Molly asked him.Eric stood up and hugged her. She hugged him back."Take care of yourself sweetie. Don't think too much, I'm sure she's going to be found" Molly said."Thank you," Eric replied.Molly walked out of the house, went to where she parked her car, entered it and started the car.Alvin opened the gate and she drove off. Molly didn't go home as she told Eric. She drove straight to see Katrina.The place Katrina is in right now is in the mountains part of the country, it's going to take her up to three hours to get
"Freeze. All guns down or we shoot " Molly heard the police say and she looked up in shock.The police surrounded Molly and her men and then Molly had the greatest shock of her life when she saw Eric."E.. Er... Eric" She stammered.Eric didn't even look at her. His eyes were fixed on Katrina.Julio, Troy and Dan dropped their guns down and took their hands up. The police picked the guns with a cloth.**** Katrina watched as Eric ran to her. He quickly untied her, his hands were shaky as he did so. He was crying too."Katrina, darling, are you okay? " Eric asked as he touched her face, wiping her tears off."Eric" Katrina called."I'm so glad to see you once more," She said.Katrina's eyes were dizzy and her body felt weak."Even if I die now, I'm surely going to be able to rest in peace as I saw Eric before dying" She said inwardly before she passed out.*** Eric caught Katrina as she fell into his arms. She just collapsed."Katrina, Kat, Kat" He screamed and shook her.He placed h
"WELCOME BACK KATRINA " Katrina heard them say and she gasped in shock.She didn't notice the crowd, she looked around her and saw everywhere beautifully decorated. Cardboards with writings like "Welcome back Katrina" "We love you " were raised in the air.Katrina saw Eric's mom smiling at her in the crowd. The reporters and journalists started taking pictures of her.Katrina turned to look at Eric in awe. He was still standing beside her, supporting her."Thank you Eric. My God, I wasn't expecting this.... I'm so happy right now" she said as tears dropped out of her eyes.It was tears of joy.

Maureen had heard her sister was Kidnapped but there was nothing she could do. She fasted and prayed for her return. She was making plans on going to California to search for her, but going to California only means she's going to bump into Eric. And she would have to tell him the truth about Katrina.Katrina told her she went there because of her, she went for revenge and when she's done, she's going to come home. Maureen decided to trust her.She had stopped drinking as she was going back to her normal life before she met Eric. Maureen was sitting on her bed in her one room apartment enjoying the cool night breeze when the guy that always gave her the current newspaper came by. He knocked on the door and she went to open it."Maureen, take a look at this. Katrina has been found " The guy announced."Really? " Maureen asked and grabbed the paper from him."Eric threw a party for her and guess what? They confessed their love for each other publicly" The guy said."What? "
"Daniel, Daniella, where are you both?" Eric screamed.Silence!There was no response.Eric was sure the children were up to some mischief."I think I know what will bring them out"Katrina said laughing."And that's?" Eric asked, he was laughing too."Just hold on" Katrina said.Then she used her highest voice to scream."Kids, your chocolate cake is ready" Minutes later, Daniel and Daniella creeped out of wherever they've been hiding."Mummy, where's it?" They chorused happily."Gotcha" Eric screamed."Where have you been hiding?" Katrina asked smiling."Under there" Daniella said"Silly you. Why were you hiding?" Katrina asked."Daniel suggested we hide" Daniella repliedIt's just for fun daddy" Daniel defended."Now, where's our cake?" Daniella asked."No cake. I said that just to make you two come out.

"What!! " Katrina screamed as she sat up. She watched Maureen and Rachel giggle."It's your wedding day," Rachel screamed."You're getting married today " Maureen said happily."Oh my " Katrina said, jumping out of the bed. She totally forgot.She had been anticipating today and now that it's finally here, she forgot about it."Where is Eric? " She asked."Hellooooo... Forgotten so soon?

Congratulations baby girl " Maureen said."Thank you " Katrina replied hugging Maureen. Rachel joined in the hug, the three of them remained that way for a while befor
Katrina woke up the next day feeling so happy and fulfilled.Maureen was still sleeping beside her, so Katrina came down gently from the bed. She didn't want to wake Maureen. She walked to the bathroom, opened the door and went in.She sat on the WC and peed. After she was done peeing, she walked straight to the big mirror and stared at herself.Katrina noticed she was looking so radiant right now. One look at her and you could tell she's feeling fulfilled.Why won't she be?She's about to be Eric's wife. She's soon going to be called Mrs Katrina Salmadiego."Mrs Katrina Salmadiego " Katrina called out loud."Mrs Katrina Salmadiego " she repeated and laughed.The name sounds cute on her lips. She couldn't help blushing."Silly girl. You need to pull yourself together " she said, still laughing. Katrina walked out of the bathroom and saw Maureen sitting on the bed. She's awake now."Heyy sis" Katrina called."Morning Sis " Maureen replied."Who were you talking to? " Maureen asked.
"Will you marry me, Katrina Argos? " Eric asked, going down on his knees, with a ring on his palm.Katrina's eyes widened, it almost popped out of its sockets in shock and surprise.Eric was asking her to marry him.. In the presence of everyone!The reporters and journalists wasted no time in capturing this moment. Camera light flashed and the audience started screaming and wowing."Say yes " they screamed."Wow" Maureen said behind Katrina.Katrina still stared at Eric. She was too overwhelmed to speak."Hellooooo... Young lady, are you going to keep me kneeling, my knee is starting to hurt " Eric said and pouted in a cute childish way.Katrina smiled and nodded her head."Yes, yess, yesss, yessss, yesssss" she screamed happily. Eric slipped the ring into Katrina's third finger and then stood up to embrace her. He carried her and swirled her around laughing happily."Thank you Katrina. You don't know how happy I am right now. You've made me the happiest man on earth right now " Eri
Katrina was still at Eric's family house. It's late already but she didn't mind. She's enjoying her stay here.Eric and his parents with Katrina were all having dinner together. They ate and discussed a lot of things, Eric, his mom, his dad and Katrina.Eric's dad forgave Katrina. He made her promise not to hurt his son again and gave her a warm hug."Hmmm, Eric. You've been laughing so hard tonight. I've missed seeing you laugh this way, but thanks to Katrina here, you're over happy tonight " Eric's Mom said."He really missed her," his Dad chipped in."I know right. He was acting like he wasn't affected whenever we were around him, but deep down I knew he was hurting, " Mrs Salmadiego said."He was trying to be a man for daddy," Mr Paul added in a teasing tone."True, but while alone. He was a cry baby for Katrina, " Mrs Salmadiego said and laughed."Mommm.... Dadddd, stop embarrassing me" Eric whined. He gave a sad baby face that got them all laughing."I'm sorry son " Mr Paul said
Katrina got down from her bed the next morning.She slept with ease last night knowing her sister was on her side this time.She's going to see Eric's mom today. She needs to talk to her, only she can persuade Eric to forgive her. Katrina went into the bathroom to brush her mouth. Maureen was still sleeping on the bed.She came out from the bathroom and walked straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.--------------- Katrina locked the door after coming out of the house. Maureen left already for work. Katrina had told Maureen of her plans and she agreed.Katrina's on her way to see Eric's mom. She walked to a junction where she saw a cab. She stopped the cab, told him where she was going and entered.The journey to California is going to take up to three hours or less, if there was no traffic.-------Finally, Katrina got to Mrs Salmadiego's house. She paid the driver his fee and he left. Katry knocked on the gate, the gatekeeper opened the gate and saw her standing there."
Eric's phone rang as he sat on his seat in the plane. He checked the caller and he saw it was his mom.He stared at his phone for a while and watched it ring, deciding if to answer the call or not.He finally answered the call."Eric, what's the meaning of the stunt you pulled at the airport? ``His Mom asked without waiting for him to greet her."Mom, so you are aware," Eric said."Why not! It's everywhere on social media. Check your damn phone! " his mom screamed."Hey mom, calm down. You don't need to get angry" Eric said."Why won't I get angry? I didn't raise you up to be like this. You embarrassed her in front of everyone! People are already making fun of her" Mrs Salmadiego said angrily."I didn't mean to mom" Eric replied."Oh, shut up. You asked her to do that public apology right? " she asked."Yeah," Eric replied."Then she did it. She swallowed her pride and apologized to you in the presence of everyone. You shouldn't have walked away " she said."Katrina's public embarrass
"What the hell?" Katrina screamed.She wasn't expecting so many people. How was she going to do this?But why are there so many people?She's very sure it's not all that's entering the plane. They're obviously people who came to see Eric."But how did they know Eric was here in Korea and is leaving for California today, and by this time? " Katrina asked herself.It can only mean a thing. Eric pulled this crowd here!He did this to scare her off but she's never giving up. She's truly going to fight for his love this time.Katrina raised her head high and prepared herself."Are you sure you can do this? The people here are much" Rachel whispered. Katrina had totally forgotten that Rachel came with me. She nodded her head in response to Rachel's question."I need to call my bodyguards. I need them now, I wasn't expecting this crowd" Rachel said and Katrina nodded.Rachel quickly dialed a number unknown to Katrina and within minutes, the call got connected. The person answered the call.
Katrina stood waiting while the receptionist talked to Eric on the phone. The receptionist disconnected the call and faced her."I'm sorry, but he said he doesn't want to see you, " she told Katrina."What! You are sure he heard my name right? " Katrina asked."Yes Miss. He repeated your name to confirm if it's really you" the receptionist said."I really need to see him. Please call him again, let me speak with him this time" Katrin pleaded."I'm sorry Miss, but I can't do that, " the receptionist said. Katrina felt sad and dejected. She walked to a seat and sat down burying her head in her hands.After some minutes, the receptionist's phone rang and Katrina looked up to see her answer the call."Sir Eric" she called and Katrina became alert. She stood up quickly and walked over to her."Is she still there? " Katrina heard Eric ask through the phone."Yes Sir. She's right here, " the receptionist replied."Okay, let her in, " Eric said and disconnected."You can go in. His room is r
