KATERINAI could not stop thinking about it. Even now, my stomach did a flip as I recalled his exact words;'… I would make you mine, just like I am yours."Did he really mean it or was he just playing with my feelings, since he suspected already that I was Grace.. he probably felt like the easily manipulated girl he used to know was still somewhere inside me.I shook my head while I stood in front of the mirror, as a means to get the reoccurring thoughts of the man off my head.I stared directly into my eyes as I said to myself in a hushed tone, "Stop thinking about him, girl.. what the hell are you doing?"Then with a loud groan, I rolled my eyes and started to storm off, towards my bed though.Today was the day Whitney would finally return from her forbidden affair with a whole Pope. It surprised me really, the kind of audacity that woman possessed. And why was Vincent confessing love to me when he had her?I could not wait to tell her all about it and watch him deny, deny, deny un
VINCENTShe sat across me in the bar; we were both seated at the bartender table and we had been silent for long minutes since I arrived after her.For the first few minutes, I was okay with just watching her face, amused that she had respected my choice and come without makeup like I had asked. Her skin was glowing under the dim lighting and her blue, sleeveless mini dress was glued to her body in such a manner that I momentarily wanted to take its place.Hell, fuck the 'momentarily' bullshit.I tore my eyes away from the thin straps of the dress that looked like they were barely hanging on for dear life due to the fullness of her tits, and I glanced back at her face."Are we going to talk or are we going to avoid each other's eyes all night?" I questioned, breaking the annoying silence. Of course, she was the only one doing the avoiding. I was not doing any of that shit.She shrugged, flashing me a fake, irritated smile, "Well, which one would you like to have?"I smiled back, then
KATERINAHis expression did not falter, but what did I expect? Kelvin said he knew already.I took a deep breath and asked after a few moments of silence, "You are not going to say anything?""The baby.. how did you lose the baby?" He asked and I froze with anger. Did this man really want me to start recounting the traumatic events of my past for his own pleasure, like he did not orchestrate it?"You know exactly how I lost the baby. You gave that order, so do not go there." I warned, slipping the glass towards the bartender again who glanced at Vincent as if trying to get a confirmation from him."Get me another fucking glass! I'm paying for my shit, not him! If I say I want another glass, give me another fucking glass, he does not own me!" I yelled at bartender who raised both hands up in surrender before going to mix me another drink."You will not be paying for a damn thing while I am seated with you tonight." Vincent's voice caused me to turn to him and I scoffed at that."Well,
KATERINA My back of my eyelids pricked with tears as I was completely stunned by every word that had left his mouth. I moved away from his hold, placing my palm on my forehead while shaking my head in disbelief."You are a liar. You are such a liar.. how dare you lie to me?" I asked, turning back to him, shaking all over. He had tears rolling down his cheeks at the same time I did and instead of melting my heart, it just angered me even more.I walked up to him and pounded my fists against his chest until I was sure I had caused a heartache. He stood there and took it, only now wiping his tears with a finger each under both eyes."You can call me whatever you want. You can hate me however you like.. for now, but I need you to believe me when I say I had nothing to do with what happened to you. I would never think of causing you such amount of pain. It was all Whitney and maybe Da'ana. I am willing to take down everyone who was involved in this if you would let me." He pleaded, but I
VINCENT"Don't you think you are going too far with this? I mean, we released Kelvin… and now you are saying we must help her fight you? Just because you realized she is Grace?" James asked, arms akimbo.I slammed my fist against my desk then started to walk towards James with intimidating steps. He stood his ground, staring me dead in the eye, even if I saw his throat bob once. I had corrupted the fucker too much."She is not just Grace. She is my wife—was my wife. I never stopped loving her. I need to make things right. From now on, you do as I say when it comes to her. When it comes to her, we are not friends. I am your boss and you are my personal assistant. No questions. Do you understand?" I asked, and he looked like he had a lot to say… even opened his mouth to speak but eventually scoffed and kept his mouth shut."Noted, Sir. What do you want me to do?" I wanted to comment on his attitude but I was already speaking too much today, so I just decided to let him know just how mu
KATERINA"Kelvin! Oh my God, you look so—" But he ran past me, right into Reina's wide arms instead and the babe had not even uttered a word since he entered.. which was barely ten seconds ago, but still.I brought my arms down to my sides, still backing the couple, my throat bobbing up and down once. I checked my watch in my moment of embarrassment too. It was 6:27pm. Great time.I tried to think of how he had looked when he walked in. He looked like shit. He looked tired, mostly. But his clothes were new and I even saw some brand tags. He had probably gotten a change somewhere before coming home because as usual, the man never liked to be caught unfresh."I missed you so much, my love." I heard his unfaithful, annoying bitch of a girlfriend say, breaking off my train of thoughts. "You cannot imagine how much I have missed you." Reina's voice would have melted the heart of the hardest man on the surface of the earth if he were here right now.She was the definition of an innocent you
KATERINAIt did not take long before I was completely wasted and I got off my chair, beginning to roll my hips to the song.I danced and danced until my joints began to hurt but I did not stop, because even if I was currently really drunk, my chest still hurt. It felt like the pain I was trying to drink away for that moment was too much to hide, so even if I could not fully remember why I was hurting, I felt myself hurting still."Hey beautiful! You have been on the dance floor since I came here. Can I join you?" I heard a male voice ask but I did not glance back even once to see who it was.Whoever it was simply held my waist and started to dance with me and I let him. Not only did I let him, I rocked my body against his, not stopping even when I felt his erection against my ass.I moved away when he was getting touchier. I barely knew where I was but at the same time, I was not going to let just anyone roam their dirty hands all over my body like they owned me.I went to get another
VINCENTShe did not trash at me even until I lowered her into the car. Only glared at me as I shut the door and went over to the other side. To that, I allowed a small smirk on my face as I went over to the other side.I came with a driver on purpose so we could talk in the backseat without any interruptions. She looked pretty drunk, but hopefully she could still hold a conversation or at least, a semblance of it.I pulled the car handle and hopped into the other side of the passenger seat. Katerina simply looked out the window on her side without saying anything and before I could come up with any words of my own, my phone began to ring out.Frowning, I checked the caller ID to see that it was Simon. With a groan, I answered and placed the call to my ear,"Got her here. Driving her home now." Realizing I did not even know exactly where she was staying now that her house had been burned to the ground, I turned to her after pressing hold on the call,"Katerina." I called, and she turne
