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
By the time she got to the door to Rock's room, the courage had already deserted her as she paused in front of the door, contemplating whether to go ahead and knock or not. What if he sends her away without saying anything to her? A lot of thoughts ran through her mind as she stood there bemusedly. But she was already there and couldn't just go back on her determination like a scared rabbit. She took in a deep breath and exhaled before she slowly raised up her hand and hesitated a little before knocking on the door. Katherine pursed her lips, her heart racing erratically as she waited to hear that grumpy voice filled with anger and annoyance, but after waiting for a while, there was no sound coming from the room.She decided to knock again, and again, and still there was no response."Does he hate me that much that he doesn't even want to see me at all?" she thought as she knocked once again.But then, a crashing noise was heard from the room, causing her to pause and listen care
"Are you really going to do this?" Katherine looked over at Rock's mother with a sad face.The woman seemed to have made up her mind. It was nice having someone to talk to and without the woman the house would plunge into loneliness once again. Staying here with the maids who are minding their business is so boring and tiring. It feels like she's in an abandoned graveyard with the workers' spirits. The few days she'd spent with Selena had made her grow fond of her. Katherine had come to realize how an amazing person Selena was; she talked a lot, made jokes when she wanted and the same goes when she's hungry. She's a fun person to be with. It's a pity that Rock doesn't know this side of his mother.If only he had given her a chance.Selena nodded with a sigh. "He hasn't returned for three days at a stretch. Isn't it enough sign to know that he doesn't want me around? I know there are some feuds going on between you two, and I don't want to add more to it.""It's a fake marriage. I'm
KATHERINE I was sitting in the bed, reading a book on my phone, while giggling like a fool. The book was about a contract marriage between a CEO and his secretary. It was more like my situation, but mine was worse. The love between the female lead and the male lead was slowly developing in such a beautiful way, and I couldn't help but feel jealous. Their future was guaranteed, even with the obstacles they were facing. Their relationship was blooming and worth being envious of. Now, I understand why people love to read books. Indeed, fantasy was better than reality. A knock on the door, had my mind returning to reality as I tilted my head towards the door, wondering who the intruder might be. Placing my phone on the nightstand, I slowly climbed down from the bed as I headed for the door. I opened the door and saw Otis standing in front of my room. "Hi," I greeted him with my eyes wide with curiosity. "Hello ma'am, Mr. Figo wants you to dress up and meet him in the car." Otis qu
"We are here, ma'am" Otis announced as he killed the car's engine."Please, address me with my name. Why are you also making things hard for me?" Katherine scolded, feeling angry at the title Otis had used for her.Otis was silent as he got down and opened the car door for his boss' wife. "You're now Mr. Figo's wife and I have to accord you with respect," he said to Katherine with a smile."But I don't want that. Can you please forget about respect, at least when we are alone?" "No, ma'am" Otis politely refused.Seeing that her words wouldn't change anything, Katherine decided to let the man be. She slowly climbed down from the car as Otis led her inside the building. "I don't believe what Rose said," Otis suddenly said, causing Katherine to pause and stare widely at him. "Can't you see that he's not happy with the way he's treating you?" he added. "I don't think so." Katherine disagreed, shaking her head. "I would advise you to pay more attention to him. And please, try your best
"Finally" Hannah muttered, yawning lazily before stretching herself from side to side. She stood up and began packing her things into her bag as it was time to get off work. Her intention was to go and see Katherine before going home. Because of work, she hadn't been able to see her friend. She missed her so much. However, the excitement on her face instantly withered the moment she looked up and saw her boss who was about to knock on the door."I'm happy to see you but don't even dare to send me on any errand right now. I have to see Katherine today," she huffed silently."Are you heading home now? " Jason asked, as he got closer to her. "It's time to get off work, sir" she replied sarcastically."Of course I know that." Jason chuckled. "What I wanted to ask was if you are free to have dinner with me tonight," he said, while staring deep into her eyes, making the lady's heart to flutter as she slowly licked her lips. 'Don't look at me that way, I'm not going to fall for it.' Ha
"Oh my God! What are you doing here?" Katherine chirped excitedly as she rushed into Hannah's arms. "I'm here to see my pregnant friend, of course. I know she has missed me a lot." Hannah chuckled as she hugged her friend back. "I have missed you so much." Katherine admitted excitedly, pulling her friend over to a couch as they sat down."Here, I bought fruit for you." Hannah said, handing her a bag."You didn't have to, there's more than enough in the house." "Well, mine is different from the rest," Hanna countered. "This set is filled with your best-friend's love." "And I will surely enjoy them," Katherine said while the two laughed."How have you been? Hope the baby is kicking very well." "Hmm..." Katherine sighed."What is it?" Hannah furrowed her brows."I'm fine.""I know you are not, but you have to take care of yourself.""I'm trying my best. Even if I don't want to, I know I have to try for the baby."The two continued to chat as snacks were served them by a maid."I wan
Hannah's heart was pounding loudly in her chest as she sat opposite her boss. They were sitting in a high-end restaurant on a rooftop. The food they'd ordered had long been served, and it was time to eat. However, she was hesitant and lost in her head. This wasn't the first time she would go to such a luxurious restaurant with her boss, but it was definitely the first time he would invite her for his own sake. And so she was dying of curiosity, making her lose her appetite. "What is wrong?" Jason asked, noticing the abnormality in his secretary's behavior. Each time he invited her for dinner, she always had a weird appetite, consuming everything without care. Because of that, he had ordered a little more than usual. He looked at the untouched dishes on the table and wondered if he had gone overboard."Is it too much? Should I call the waiter to take some away?" he asked."No, it's fine." Hannah shook her head as she quickly grabbed her cutlery and began to eat, while Jason fol
