KATHERINE"Just give him time." "Give him a little time.""Give him more time!!!"These were the words from Hannah, which had been ringing like a bell in my head for the past month. At first, these words brought comfort and hope to me. I have been calming myself down with those words while trying to understand Rock and his decision to keep ignoring me. It had been over a month already and those words had no potency in me anymore. My patient is practically exhausted. And right now, I'm a tad away from going crazy. My heart is troubled. I'm curious, anxious and worried as questions upon questions without answers keep swarming in my head each day. I haven't been able to get hold of my boss, much less have a conversation with him. He's been avoiding me, and I know it's on purpose, because each time I tried to confront him or tried to talk to him, he would use the word 'I'm busy' to push me away. He did this even when he knew that I knew he was very free, which is weird. Each day I ke
Katherine was gasping for air by the time she got to the door to the rooftop. She stood there for a moment and gathered herself as she took a deep breath before opening the door.However, the moment the door was opened a loud gasp escaped her mouth. She widened her eyes in shock, perplexed, as she gazed at the unexpected figure who was staring right back at her with his expression mirroring hers. Rock was stunned to see Katherine open the door to the rooftop. He blinked confusedly, his brows furrowed. She's the last person he expected to come up there. With speechless expression, the two just stood there, their eyes trained on each other's face.Rock felt his heart stir dangerously, all his anger disappearing for a moment as he examined her appearance. She wore a simple short black and white gown, her gold hair neatly tied into a ponytail. Her eyes were red and puffy like she'd been crying. And why is her face looking so pale? Is she sick? He wondered as he felt himself getting
KATHERINE"You did what? " Hannah screamed, causing me to flinch and silently grimace. After narrating my ordeal with my boss to Hannah, her mouth was left agape and her eyes almost bulging out from their sockets. She was shocked. When I came back home looking so dejected, I'm sure she didn't expect it would be this big of a deal. It was marriage, of all things. She blinked confusedly at me, waiting for me to throw more light on what she'd just heard. I just looked away with my lips pursed, choosing to ignore her befuddled expression. I already have enough in my mind to worry about her confused state. "Kat, you're joking, right? Don't tell me that you actually agreed to get married to your boss?""It's not a big deal, Hannah. It's not as if it's a real marriage." I shot back, shrugging my shoulders like I wasn't bothered. But deep down, I was dying with the thought of having to go through this fake marriage with my boss. "What?" I asked when she stared suspiciously at me, like
KATHERINEIt's been one whole week since I got married to my boss. But ever since then, the supposed fake husband of mine has been nowhere to be found. He's been busy to the extent that he doesn't even sleep at home. The Mansion feels so empty and lonely without him, even though there are maids around. Yes, I'm currently staying at his house. According to him, I just have to stay here for some months till the contract with Mr. Arthur is finalized. Afterward, I could go back to my house if I wanted.Remembering those words of his that had no atom of emotion in them made my heart ache. Those words made a deep sense of uncertainty wash over me. It was as if he didn't have any thought concerning us at all.Now, thinking back to that very day, he was also cold to me. But I just can't figure out the reason, no matter what. After the marriage registration, he'd abandoned me with Otis and left, claiming that he was busy. He didn't even give me the chance to talk to him.Even Hannah and Gre
KATHERINEI was woken by a knock on the door. I hissed in annoyance, turning to face the wall while I continued to sleep. It was this morning that I managed to close my eyes. I couldn't sleep all through the night.But the knock persisted as the person had no intention of going away."Just go away and leave me alone," I grumbled, using my hands to block my ear from the noise."Ma'am, breakfast is ready," I heard the voice of one of the maids and quickly opened my eyes.Oh, that's true, I'm in another person's house. For a moment, I thought I was back in my tiny bedroom which couldn't be compared to this luxurious one, but right now, I miss it more than anything.I slowly sat up, yawning lazily as I grumbled a little before getting out of bed. I opened the door and saw one of the maids, who instantly bowed to me."I will be right there," I said, shutting the door. I rested my back against the door and stood there for a moment before heading over to the bathroom.Slipping out of my nigh
Hannah was so lost in the call with Katherine while staring out the window that she failed to notice when someone walked into the room.After the call, she sighed and turned to leave, but the unexpected figure before her had her gasping in shock as she took some wary steps back."Sir, when did you arrive?" she mumbled in surprise, gripping her phone tight.Jason slowly walked toward her, while she took some more steps back, but the man didn't back down as he continued to take steps forward until her back collided with the wall behind, leaving her no room for an escape.Hannah felt her heart constricting from the effect of their proximity, the man's cologne wafted into her nostrils, making her feel dizzy. She felt like jumping into his arms and hugging him so badly. Staying one whole week without seeing him really did mess up her thoughts. She swallowed hard, her inside clawing with want as he leaned closer to him. She felt her whole being melting, a low whimper escaping her thro
KATHERINE"Ehhh..."I watched Selena yawning, stretching from side to side as she climbed down the stairs."Oh, you're here," she chirped, smiling at me, while I shyly reciprocated with an awkward one."I need food. I am so hungry. I slept for a long time, right?" she asked while I nodded."Yeah I Know. It feels so good being here in my son's house, and sleeping in it for the first time, I feel so delighted," she said, taking a seat on the couch opposite me. "It's all thanks to you, Katherine.""I'm glad you enjoyed your sleep," I replied."First, serve me wine, and then food." she said, grabbing the TV remote."Yes ma'am," I nodded and headed over to the bar. She looked so care free and full of life. She seemed like a nice person too. I couldn't help wondering why Rock didn't want her to visit him. I returned with a bottle of wine and a glass, placing them on the table as I opened the wine and poured her some."Here," I said, handing her the glass of wine."You're so nice, thanks."
The moment Rock walked into the living room and saw his Mother sitting with Katherine, the frown on his face deepened, his eyes instantly turning red with anger.The two people in the room noticed his mood and gulped down in fright as they quickly stood up, like they were welcoming a furious king. Katherine and Selena, who were laughing as they conversed with each other, were forced to adjust themselves, uncertainty and fear taking over their cheerful mood. "W-welcome h-home, s-son." Selena was the first to speak up while stuttering, a nervous smile on her face. Katherine, on the other hand, was just looking down while playing with her fingers. "What are you doing here? Who allowed you into this house?" Rock's furious voice boomed in the room, his eyes narrowing on his mother. Both Katherine and Selena felt their bodies shudder from the impact of Rock's angry voice. "She's the one," Selena quickly said, pointing at Katherine. She was like a child that had no choice but to say
