"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. Katrina felt so happy right now that her heart was about to explode.She hugged Eric and he hugged her tight."I love you so much, to the extent that I'm ready to do anything for you, anything at all" Eric said and kissed her on her lips.The crowd cheered and clapped. The photographers took so many pictures, cameras from different corners went flash. Katrina and Eric stayed there kissing for
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? "
Molly sat down on the floor in the cell looking so sad. She just overheard some of the police officers saying Eric and Katrina professed their love for each other publicly.All her efforts to separate them were in vain, they're still together... But her??She was locked up in this damn cell!Tears dropped from her eyes. Her love for Eric made her do all that."Molly, someone is here to see you, " an officer said.He opened the cell gate and Molly came out. The officer escorted her to the waiting/visitor room.Molly saw Eric sitting on a bench."I give you five minutes Sir" the officer said to Eric and he nodded.Eric was putting on a face cap and sunglasses, to avoid attention."Eric" Molly said as she knelt before him weeping."Please drop all charges against me. Let me go" she pleaded."You're something else Molly. You want me to let you go? Katrina almost died, you fucking kidnapped her and you were acting all holy and innocent with me. If I hadn't followed you, I'm not sure Katrin
"Where's Katrina and what's all these I've been seeing everywhere on social media? " Eric's Dad asked and Eric knew there was trouble."Dad, why don't you come in, sit and relax first" Eric said, leading them towards the couch.His parents sat down but his dad didn't wait before asking the next question."Is it true? You're in love with her? " his dad asked."Yes dad, Katrina is the woman I love " Eric replied carefully."Unbelievable " Eric's dad screamed and both Eric's mom and Eric looked at him in shock."Of all the women to fall in love with, it's Katrina? Your housekeeper? A nobody? "his dad asked and Eric was speechless."Dad," Eric called."What about Molly? " Mr Paul asked."Molly is locked up in jail right now, she committed a criminal act and she's going to face the consequences " Eric said strictly."Eric, you pushed that girl to do whatever she did, you know " Mr Paul said."No, I didn't push her... She did it out of her own will" Eric replied."She's trying to fight for
Come here, " Eric's dad said, opening his arms. Katrina was stunned and speechless but she walked into his arms.He embraced her tightly as she cried on his shoulder."I'm sorry dear"Mr Paul apologized.They remained that way for a while before he released her."I'm sorry for all the hurtful things I said, " he apologized again.Katrina wiped her tears with her palm."I'm ready to give you both my blessings " Mr Paul said to Katrina and winked at Eric.Katrina's mouth opened in shock.He's accepting her to be his daughter in law?Unbelievable!!Katrina looked at Eric and saw him smiling. He nodded his head.She started crying. She's such a cry baby!Katrina was sure Eric must be thinking it's tears of joy. But only she understood why she was crying.She was feeling happy and sad, her emotions were in turmoil. She's The only one who understands how she feels right now."How was she supposed to leave now that Eric's dad accepted her already?" She asked herself."What was shevgoing to te
The days went by quickly and Katrina felt sad as each day passed by. Today was the day she's supposed to leave. She had prepared for this day these past days but still, she couldn't bring herself to leave today.These past days with Eric have been fun. Katrina had so much fun with him. They visited new places, they went to the beach, museum and other interesting places.Eric stayed at home because of Katrina. He has been talking about marriage but Katrina diverges from the topic whenever he brings it up.Each day increased her love for him. How's she supposed to leave now??"I'm going to spend this last day with him, I'm going to leave tomorrow "Katrina said to herself. She was sitting on her bed in her room.Her sister would be waiting for her to come home today but she just can't leave today. So Katrina only hoped her sister understood. She planned to leave tomorrow immediately after Eric goes to work.****Eric and Katrina were sitting in the sitting room watching a romantic movie.
Eric walked back to his room in tears. He's never been this heartbroken before in his life. He felt so much pain in his heart.He loves Katrina so much, she meant everything to him, she meant the world to him but she doesn't even love him.She's just here on a revenge mission!Eric was starting to feel complete with her but everything is falling apart now.He was so angry and sad right now. He walked to his dressing table and threw everything he could lay his hands on."Why Kat? Why? " He screamed.***" Katrina heard Eric screaming in his room and throwing things around. She felt sad, she loves him so much and didn't want to see him get hurt.She wished she could go to him right now. Katrina wished she could comfort him right now but Eric doesn't want to see her face."I'm sorry Eric" she said crying.She didn't know what she's sorry about.She didn't know if she felt sorry about Eric finding out the truth or the fact that she's still going to leave after everything."Eric's so angr
This was the second day Katrina stayed at Eric's house after he found out the truth. Eric kept on showering her with so much love and attention and asking her not to leave.Katrina was tempted not to leave but her sister called earlier and asked her to fulfill her promise and agreement. Katrina had no choice but to go home.�Maureen's POVEven after knowing the truth, Eric still allowed Kat to stay in his house. He still loves her and even begged her not to leave.He publicly professed his love to her defiling his father at the welcome back party he threw for her. Even with Molly in the picture, he still fought for Kat's love.He was quick to discard me when Molly came into the picture. He didn't put on a fight to keep me. All he said was "I'm sorry Maureen, I can't go against my dad ". Then he walked out leaving me crying bitterly in the hotel room.I haven't gotten over him yet so seeing how much he loves my sister hurt me alot. But there are really happy together.Should I let them
"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. Your dad was tired of looking for you both" Katrina explained."You fooled us" the kids said and pouted sadly."Wanna join me in baking your chocolate cake?" Katrina asked."Yes, y
"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? " Maureen asked."Eric, David and the other guys are in Eric's family house. They're are getting ready there. While the ladies are to use here to get ready " Rachel explained."Yeah, that's true" Katrina said, suddenly recalling."I'm nervous " she confessed."Don't be. You're about to get married to the love of your life. You should be happy, not nervous " Rachel said."I'm happy " Katrina replied."I know and we are happy for you too. 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
