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
'A divorce letter lies within this document. Do well to sign it.' Grace read the sentence over and over with shaky hands, and even if she wanted to welcome the presumption that this was some prank and this letter was not really sent to her by her husband, she knew she would be lying to herself. Throughout her 23 years of living, she had not met a man who was more formal in every single thing, than her husband—Vincent Powers. So, she continued to read the letter, whilst also trying to control the rapid beating of her heart. 'You will be settled handsomely for the years wasted. Fifty million dollars and a villa in any American state you choose. Your cars belong to you, as well. All three of them. Remit the letter back to James as soon as you are done with the signing. In conclusion, you have seven days to vacate this premises.' Grace's jaw dropped as soon as she read the last line. "What?" She whispered to herself, still drenched in disbelief. She lifted herself off the b
Grace held the sink as she threw up virtually everything in her stomach, until she could taste acid on her tongue. Wow, great. She thought to herself. Falling sick just when she had to clear her room. She knew Da'ana would definitely make good of her promise, so even with her eyes struggling to focus, she managed to leave the bathroom, meeting Simon at the door. "I'll help you clear your room." Simon told her at once, wrapping his hand around her waist as they stood side by side. Grace's eyes watered. "Aw, man, what would I possibly do without you?" She whispered, throwing her arms around him. He held her close for a while with a grin on his face, "Absolutely nothing, mate. C'mon, let's go." Then they pulled away from each other and began to head towards her room. While Whitney and Da'ana engaged in a conversation where they laughed on top of their voices, Simon helped Grace pack her things, doing everything in his power to cheer her up as he did. The minute they wer
"So sorry ma'am. I didn't know.." Tania kept apologizing, and Grace continued to tell her, "It's not your fault.. it's my favorite food, you could not have known that I would throw it up because of some stomach upset. Come on." She sighed, cleaning up the last bit of the mess before apologizing again and heading out. Grace went to wash her mouth, watching herself in the mirror for some minutes, before her gaze traveled to her stomach. "Please baby, would you let mommy eat? You don't want me to keep anything down?" She questioned, then continued, "I have to run a test today, I have to keep something in my stomach.. I'm feeling really dizzy already.." She smiled at the mirror. Maybe this was good. Grace knew it was too soon but she could not wait to hold her baby. Even if she had gotten pregnant on her very first sex and she still felt too young for the baby, she could not help the attachment for her unborn child which she was growing day by day. She loved him or her so much
