Kathryn’s POV

I couldn’t speak, my heart the only sound that I could hear.

“Where...? Why...?” I moved my lips, but it seemed as if I can’t say another word about the revelation.

“Oh, Kath! We don’t know the whole story so we’re not in the position to judge you if it’s the truth,” she patted my back. “I just hope you’d find your way,” Vicky said as we arrived at our office floor.

“Hold on,” I told them. “You honestly believed that I was that...! That asshole’s mistress, do you?” I looked to Clarence. “...did you?”

“Oh, I’m so sorry, honey! We barely knew you,” Clarence gathered my hand. “We’ll listen, alright? If you want to talk about it right now, I’m all ears!”

“It’s fine, I promise.” My fists curled to my sides as Wilhelm’s face came to mind. “I’ll get to the bottom of this myself.”

“Are you sure about that?” Vicky looked unsure.

“Yes. Thank you. Really. For telling me the truth and not believing in rumors.”

Vicky and Clarence smiled as if to assure me. ”Don’t worry. We almost

    Wilhelm’s POVI had no idea what I was doing. My first instinct was to protect Kathryn from the nasty rumors surrounding her. I didn’t want to add more fuel to the fire, so my body reacted on its own, pinning her beneath me in an instant. Just the two of us. In my car. A moment I never thought would happen again after our miserable divorce. Yet here I was, holding my breath, my hand firm beneath her head, our bodies pressed together as our breathing quickened. I took in every detail of her appearance, and no matter how many years had passed, her eyes were the same color as the last time I saw them. Right now, I couldn’t help but stare into them and lose myself again, just as I did when we first met. The voices of my employees echoed in the hallway, their laughter growing closer. I felt Kathryn stiffen beneath me. I laid her down gently and nodded reassuringly. “Don’t worry. The windows are tinted.” She blinked once, a baffled look on her face, as she opened her mouth to

    Wilhelm’s POVThroughout the day, I was in an absolutely foul mood. My secretary even suggested that I stop being so cold to the employees, especially during the board meeting, but I didn’t care. I wasn’t up for anything. All I wanted was for the rumors to die down and for everyone to leave me the hell alone. “Do you understand every word I’ve said?” I asked in an icy tone, making everyone around the table tense. “We’re on it, sir.” “We’ll work on extinguishing the rumors as soon as we can.” I slammed the papers on the table. “What do you mean, ‘as soon as you can’? Do it. Now.” The man flinched, and I saw the others swallow nervously. I knew I was being too harsh, but they had no choice but to deal with it, knowing the consequences if they didn’t. They were probably thinking that I had deep feelings for Rose and didn’t want to be hurt by the rumors, but it was the exact opposite. Rose pretended to wipe away tears as if she were too emotional to speak. It disgusted me. I

    Kathryn’s POV The inevitable had come. I walked away from that parking lot with a heavy feeling in my heart. I couldn’t stop it from beating the same way it did the first time I saw him. I really thought I was well past the butterflies I felt for Wilhelm ever since our divorce happened a few years ago. But time and time again, I seemed to be proven wrong everytime. He was a curse, but for some reason, he also felt like a blessing I never prayed for. Dismissing the thoughts out about Wilhelm and what had transpired in the parking lot out of my mind, I opened the door of my car as I waited for Charlize outside her school. While I remained idle near the school gate, I couldn’t help but worry about what would happen to my daughter after Wilhelm shipped me off to China. Would my little girl be alright? As I continued to dwell on my thoughts, my phone rang loudly inside the car. I frowned. Oh, shoot me. Things had been taking things off of my mind lately that I even forgot to take

    Kathryn’s POVEverything had been in the past, but for some reason, I was still hesitant to tell Roland every last detail, just in case it did more harm than good. Well, initially, it had already scarred a bad reputation in my life.I sighed. What was the point of keeping it in when I could have someone listen to the problems I can’t just say to anyone? “Well?” Roland tilted his head to the side as he pressed gently about the hesitation in my mind, waiting for me to continue. I gulped and opened my mouth, searching for the right words that could begin this conversation. “It’s about Rose,” I finally began. “Rose?” “Wilhelm’s fiancé,” I frowned. “That Rose.” Roland made an “O” with his mouth and signaled me to continue. “We come a long way, you know?” His broad shoulders shrugged. “She’s a thorn. Kind of like a coarse grass that can never die.” I laughed. “Hey! That’s rude.” “She’s not here, and she won’t know either way. Unless you tell me.” I shook my head in disbelief at

    Kathryn’s POVI raised my eyebrows. “Sir, it’s nighttime already.”“I didn’t mean for you to come here...right now.”“Right now? Oh,” I felt my cheeks grow hot. “Yes, I guess that’s what you meant,” I cleared my throat. “Sorry, I misunderstood. When would you like me to work, then?”Wilhelm was silent for a while. “Tomorrow. Come meet me at the office.”My eyebrows knitted in disbelief. Tomorrow? After all the trouble the rumors had caused, he wanted me to see him at the office tomorrow?No matter how much I tried to convince myself this was all professional, I had a bad feeling about it. Or maybe not?I slouched, opening my mouth to speak. “Mr. Reinhardt, I’m sure you’re aware of the rumors going around about us, right?”He didn’t respond.“Right. I just needed to mention it in case you think it won’t affect either of our reputations. I can’t go to your office. I won’t risk it,” I quickly added, my heart racing at the thought of the rumors causing trouble. Even though none of them we

    Kathryn’s POV Mrs. Brown left the door, her eyes flashing before me as I put a smile on my face. “I guess I’ll see you around then?” “Oh, dear! You’ll see me much more than you expect. Please take care on your way home.” Wilhelm cleared his throat. “I believe she won’t be heading home yet.” Mrs. Brown scrunched her nose and let out a stifled huff. “Let the woman rest! This is exactly why your hotels aren’t doing as well in sales as they used to,” she narrowed her eyes at him, and in return, Wilhelm scowled. He looked like a child being scolded by his mother—only this time, he was being scolded for overworking his employee. I couldn’t help but laugh internally. It served him right. The words that came out of Mrs. Brown’s mouth were exactly what he’d been doing to us—to all of his employees. I was glad he was being spoon-fed a taste of his own medicine. “Well, I have to get going now.” She glared at Wilhelm as she held the door open. “Take care, Mr. Reinhardt, Ms. Alvarez.”

    Kathryn’s POV I arrived at the company earlier than planned. My heart feels lighter after thinking things through regarding the offer I received from Mrs. Brown, and Wilhelm unexpectedly taking me back to the company after almost firing me and having me transferred to the hotel’s sister chain in China. I can’t say that the issue of me being labeled as a mistress and Wilhelm dismissing me so easily didn’t make me hesitate. But the truth is, the company has been part of my life ever since they accepted me despite my history with Wilhelm—and I don’t want to lose that connection just yet, despite the fact that my boss, a.k.a. ex-husband, hurt me so deeply. Straightening my back, I ignore the whispers that follow me as I walk down the hallway toward Wilhelm’s office. I decided to knock once. Come to think of it, it’s only seven in the morning. Does he come to work this early? I shrug internally and wait for him to open the door. “Kathryn,” he greets me. His brows furrow as our eyes

Clarence paused what he was doing and grinned from behind his monitor.“If this is some juicy gossip, you two better share it with me.” He wiggled his eyebrows.I sighed. “This isn’t something to talk about at work.”He chuckled. “Come on, Katy! In just a few days, you’ve managed to catch everyone’s attention.”“That doesn’t seem like a good thing.” Vicky frowned and shook her head disapprovingly. “It’s not like we’re going to make money by gossiping.”Clarence shrugged. “I guess you’re right. I mean, there are more important things to worry about than your love life, right, Katy girl?”Vicky’s cheeks turned pink as she tried to hide her smile from Clarence by let

    Kathryn’s POVI sneezed in the waiting area at Charlize’s new school. It was beginning to get colder now that we’re getting into the middle of October. I checked my phone, wondering where Wilhelm might be since he promised he’d be picking up our daughter and his son after class ends, but he was nowhere to be found. I sighed as I remembered our encounter with the strange doctor last week. I still wonder why Dr. Parkins had looked like she had seen a ghost when she saw Wilhelm, but I figured it must’ve been because of her health issues. She did appear quite ill, so I couldn’t help but worry about her safety. Maybe she was sicker than I had imagined, or maybe it had to do something with her past experiences? I removed the thought away when I heard the school’s bell ring, indicating that it was time for them to go home. I immediately went toward the door. I kept an eye on each student that came out from the hallway, but there was still no sign of Charlize and Grayson nearby. They were

    Rose’s POVI kept a watchful eye as the woman left the grocery store in a hurry. Wilhelm looked like he had seen a ghost while Kathryn shrugged her shoulders and continued walking with the children. My gaze went back to Wilhelm. He looked as if he was in deep thought. “Darling? Is something wrong?” I tried to ask. Wilhelm shook his head in slowly. “I’m...fine.” “You don’t look like it though.”He turned his head to me and sighed. “It’s nothing,” he said, taking my hand as he dragged me to the cashier. He handed me his card and I swiped it over the machine. I took one good look at the woman who nervously stood in line behind a few people, and she was still looking pale and shaken up. I hummed. Something must’ve been wrong about her. Or maybe she knew more about my fiancee than I know myself. Whatever it was, I didn’t have an inkling feeling that it was anything normal. I need to find out more. Once I was done paying for the groceries, I gave Wilhelm back his card. “You can go ahe

I thought you were still based in Paris,” I said, out of breath, finding the situation odd now that we’ve come face-to-face again after several years of not being able to see each other. Dr. Parkin stared at me for awhile. Her lower lip quivered as she went back and forth between me and Charlize. “Is—Is that your daughter now?” “Oh, yes. She’s quite big now. Already in her kindergarten,” I smiled. “How are you nowadays?” “Good, I’m good.” “Are you still based in France?” “I wouldn’t be here if I was,” she answered curtly. I awkwardly laugh. “Uhm, yes. That—That actually makes sense! I was thinking that you’re perhaps having a vacation or something.” “I could’ve picked a better place than New York, don’t you agree?” I nodded. “Greece sounds nice.” The doctor smiled. “I’d take it into consideration.” After awhile, Dr. Parkins swallowed hard as she frantically looked around, as if searching for something. “Are you…alone?” My eyebrows sc

    Kathryn’s POVWhy was Roland acting this way? He’s usually patient, and he listens very carefully to what I have to say. Now, it felt like he was about to dismiss everything that I needed to say. “That’s not it, Roland! Mrs. Brown believed in my ability, and I just wanted to not disappoint her! I also love my job more than you think,” I frowned. “Not everything is about Wilhelm. I dislike the fact that you, of all people, are associating every decision I make to him.” Roland opened and closed his mouth. He doesn’t look convinced with what I was trying to explain to him. “I’m not too sure about that…” “Not too sure—? Roland, do you even hear yourself?” I moved toward him. “Are we really going to argue over my decision? There are still plenty of capable people that could take on the job that you’re offering to me.” “You don’t understand, Kath,” he sighed. “You’re one in a million. There’s not a single woman in this world that could copy or replace you for that matter.” My eyebrows

    Rose’s POVI stared at the door in front of me. “That—That bitch!” I screamed, my nails hurting the skin on my palm as I clenched my fist so hard. “She’s purposefully doing this! She’s trying to steal Wilhelm from me!” Anger rose in my chest as I ran back to the parking lot, nagging at the driver to take me home. While on the road, my phone rang. Annoyed, I still picked it up and placed it over on my ear. “What do you want?” “Hi! I’m the investigator you’ve hired.” I narrowed my eyes. “I paid you like half a million already. You better bring me some good news!” I barked. “Wait for me at my office. I’ll be home in five minutes.” The investigator sighed. “I’ll wait in the villa.” After less than three minutes, my driver was already parking in front of the villa. I practically threw my bag to that scumbag maid named Annie. “Wipe that frown on your ugly face,” I told her. She surprisingly ignored me and walked away with my branded bag that’s worth ten times her salary! Arrogant

    Kathryn’s POVThe drive home felt shorter than I had anticipated it to be. We arrived at my place and Wilhelm parked his car right outside our building. I stood up, and was about to open the door, but Wilhelm beat me to it. He stood next to the door, opening it slowly while he took Charlize from me. “Oh, uhm, you didn’t need to do that,” I smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Reinhardt.” I must admit, it was weird calling him with the last name I once possessed when we were still married. Wilhelm remained silent as he softly closed the door behind me. Charlize, on the other hand, was incessant with bringing Grayson over. I was amazed how my daughter managed to speak continuously to Wilhelm until we reached the door to our apartment. It looked as if she wasn’t bored speaking to him at all!“Oh, no! We’re here already,” Charlize pouted. “I still haven’t heard you guys agree to transferring schools and playing with Grayson.” Wilhelm raised an eyebrow as he handed Charlize over. “Kathryn?” Two p

    Kathryn’s POVWilhelm’s suggestion left me speechless for several reasons. Why was he doing this? “Mr. Reinhardt, I don’t think this is the place and time to talk about Charlize’s—” “REALLY?” Charlize grinned at him with renewed enthusiasm. “Do you really mean what you said, Mr. Iceberg?!”I gasped. “Charlize!” “Oh, I mean, Mr. Reinhardt! Are you enrolling me in the same school as Grayson?” My daughter giggled. “Sorry about calling you your nickname,” she covered her mouth. “I’m not supposed to say it out loud because it’s my and Grayson’s secret, so please don’t tell him!” Wilhelm, looking taken aback by Charlize’s reaction, scooped her in his arms. “Mr. Iceberg, huh?” My heart stopped beating as I gaped the scene before me. The image of them together had blown me away; it was only now that I have realized that they had a lot of similar features I can no longer deny. They shared the same nose and eye shape, and their smile resembled too much you’d mistake them for twins.I can’

I sat behind my desk and waited patiently for him to speak, knowing that whatever it
