KATERINAI laid there, listening to him grunt in a hushed tone every few seconds, then moan loudly when I figured that he was finally done. I bit my bottom lip as I had seriously considered going in there to help him but I just couldn't. I had made too many mistakes for one night.When he was finally back in the room, I pretended to be asleep while he settled into the bed. I had been too tired to even put anything on after he had left so I was lying there naked, as well. I felt his breath in my face and I knew that he had turned to face me.For some reason, it was not creepy—feeling his eyes on me. In fact, it did not take long before I finally fell asleep… not waking up to any nightmares, at all.I snuggled closer into his arms. I wanted to stay here forev— Wait, what?My eyes peeked open at once and I discovered that I was truly in his arms. When had this even happened? I thought to myself, blinking twice. The ringing in my ears distracted me from my thoughts for a while and I shut
KATERINAI sighed, "Sounds tempting enough.""I am not saying you should not get your revenge against me, but let me help you with yours." He coaxed, with his hand still in my hair. I wanted to lay here all day with him. Forget about all these grudges I harbored against him. I wished it was simply that easy."If you help me, I would naturally feel indebted to you and I fear I might confuse that indebtedness for forgiveness. I know I should have no reason to feel indebted to you but I just know it's the way I would feel. I cannot do it your way. I would let you know when I am done fucking you up to my heart's content, and then we can play." I told him."If you want the wine company, you can take it. You stared the rivalry based on it. Take it, and we could be slightly even." He offered. I was a bit taken aback. I had thought he had some kind of attachment to that company. I thought it was sentimental to him in a way. It turned out I was so wrong. Not only was he not attached to the pla
VINCENTI pulled the door open with a force that almost removed the metal frame from its hinges. My eyes met with Simon's and I asked with a tight, angry tone,"What do you want?"He slipped his hands into his pocket. "I just want to talk. By the way, did she go home?"No, Simon. She did not. In fact, she is currently under my duvet, probably having flashbacks of our time together or regretting whatever we had done together since last night. Hopefully, it was the former.Of course, I did not give him that response. Instead, I gave him the reply she had asked me to give him, "She left here early this morning. I do not know if she went home or not."I walked out of the room now, to avoid mistakenly opening the door a little too widely and risking him seeing her."Oh. Okay maybe after this conversation I will call her to make sure that she actually got home safely. You know, we have drifted apart lately, I feel really bad. She called me last night. I had to meet with you, so I turned dow
KATERINAKelvin came to see me a couple of times, and Simon and I had a date to talk and iron out our issues. I felt like he was acting a bit weird during our meeting but I decided that it was probably nothing. I was such an over-thinker anyways, so I decided to disregard the thoughts.At work, things were going really well too. I met this guy, and suddenly, it felt like I could actually have a normal life. I could actually meet people and get over my trauma. It should not be just Vincent who could curb my negative responses when it came to activities involving the opposite sex; sexual activities mostly.His name was Larry. Larry was a decent guy. He was the biggest shareholder in two law firms, and a highly sort out lawyer himself. He worked as a lawyer for one of the firms—the one in New York, to be precise.He had met me in an event. He did not leave my side throughout the event but never made me uncomfortable about the fact that he was lurking around me. He held good conversations
KATERINAI stood there, stunned. Was this really what I thought it was? She was plotting against me? Did that mean she knew too?If Whitney knew, then this was bad. I had to call Kelvin, she had become a threat already. I had just turned around to go get my phone when she started talking again,"Gosh, bro. That girl pisses me the hell off. You cannot imagine the discussion we just had, she literally spoke to me in the most demeaning way ever…" She complained and I was done standing at the side that moment. Like, you know what? Fuck Kelvin.I had just started to take a step into the kitchen when she chuckled briefly, continuing,"You get it! She's such a bitch, that Amelia girl. I know you have a plan for her… she has pissed you off in this life more than she has done to me, so I am not surprised if you are still plotting the perfect revenge against her." Wait, what?"Yeah… she is so full of herself. Recently got an award from a non-existent award page and could not stop throwing shad
VINCENT"I think they said it's this neighborhood. We just have to ask for a man called Fredrick Giles, known as Fred around here." James stated as he checked his phone to be sure of the address."And how many children does he have again?" I questioned when we stopped right in front of the porch that the address had called out."Seven. His wife is currently pregnant with the eighth." He told me, shaking his head."I guess he is better off dead, then. Good riddance for the poor woman."James laughed, saying nothing in return.We were currently in another state, but we are not there for business. We had watched the footages. Then, we searched for the fake driver and guard's location with some of the best private investigators in the country and the search led us to this state.Florida.Say hello if you recognize me on these streets, ladies, I thought to myself, then frowned. Actually do not, I amended as I thought of the reason I was wandering the streets of Florida—Katerina.Who probab
VINCENT"What the hell do you mean that there are no available flights to New York right now?" I was pacing about in the hotel where we currently were, and James was nervously trying to keep checking for available flights.I could tell he was panicking because I had not been able to stop barking orders at everyone since I heard the news. I was not going to just accept it this time, just believe that she was gone.It was why I shoved my pride aside and I called Sawyer. The bast*rd did not pick up my calls. He ignored 15 fucking times. I called Simon, but Sawyer was not picking up his calls either and he was also not in New York in that moment."I'm going to fucking kill Sawyer the moment I arrive in New York. The moment I set my feet in New York, he better go the hiding because I will not be friendly." I told James just as he pressed his phone to his ear again. "I've called him like twenty times now too, he has not picked up. I called Whitney, but the call went to voicemail too. What
VINCENTI got to the hospital in five minutes as it was not far from Sawyer's house. Coupled with the fact that I drove like a mentally disabled citizen to get here."Katerina Montego. Where is she?" I asked as soon as I got to the receptionist table. The receptionist looked up at me with a frown on her face, ready to say vile things to whoever it was that disrupted whatever it was she had been doing with her phone.When she realized it was me though, she swallowed and stood up at once."Uh.. Good evening Sir," She greeted with a large smile. "Katerina Montego. What ward?" I asked in a firmer tone now.She nodded timidly, then skittered over to a laptop, checking for it. Then she looked up,"Ward 117, ICU section. Have a nice—" But I was already walking away from her, half-running to the ward where I had been directed to. I stopped in my tracks when I got to the hallway where the ward was located. Whitney and Sawyer stood there, hugging each other. What the hell was going on this
