KATHERINE

I was woken up by the sound of a crying baby. It was so loud that I jumped up to my feet. That was when I realized what was going on. It was morning and Paige had finally given birth. I sat up properly while yawning, trying to steady my heavy eyelids. I could feel a piercing headache threatening to knock me over. That's the aftermath of consuming too much alcohol- it's a nightmare!

"You're finally awake? Ms. drunkard." Hannah looked over at me and chuckled.

"Ahh..." I groaned in pain, kneading my aching head.

"Are you OK?" Both Hannah and Paige asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. It's a baby girl. Awww.. so adorable." Ignoring the headache, I strutted over to the mother and new baby on the bed. I can handle the pain without getting others worried. "Congratulations, Paige. You're now a mother."

"Thanks, Kat." Paige smiled, she was breastfeeding her baby. I just gazed at the two with admiration, wondering what it feels like to be a mother.

"How does it feel? Being a mother?" I dec

    KATHERINE"It's nobody," I quickly turned off the screen of my phone, as I smiled awkwardly at Hannah.It was a call from none other person than Rose. I don't know why she was calling me, not that I care to know. I just want her to leave me the fuck alone, she has been nothing but a headache in my life. "You have been getting some texts and unwanted calls from nobody lately." Hannah joked, and I could feel the sarcasm in her voice.."Trust me, Hannah. It's really nobody. Just some unknown number which I don't want to answer." I tried to explain, wanting to make her doubt disappear. I can't afford suspicion between us right now. "I believe you, Kat." she suddenly laughed, as she looked briefly at me before focusing on the road. "Don't try too hard to explain, I believe you. I have no reason to doubt you."Hearing these words from her, made me silently heave a sigh of relief. Obviously, she wasn't suspecting anything and I'm grateful for that.My phone began to ring again, and I had t

  • Secretly In Love With My Boss    Boss' house!

    KATHERINEEver since the dangerous drama that had been going on between me and Rose started, I have never visited her in the house. Our meeting places were either at her office, shopping malls, Spas or event centers.It was even in her husband's office that she'd introduced me as her friend to my boss. I don't want to ever think about that very day because I looked like a total fool. The introduction was out of the blue and she did all the talking, the glorified lies, while I stood there like a statue smiling awkwardly, and nodding my head when necessary.All of a sudden, she wanted me to come to her house. She's now extending the meeting point to her house? This game was really getting dangerous and I really dread my future. What would become of my pathetic future was clearly unknown, and I could feel something bad about to happen. But on a second thought, this was like a golden opportunity for me. I mean, I have never been to my boss' house before. I just know that he lives in one

    KATHERINE To my surprise, Rose turned and shook her head before proceeding down the stairs. I felt my body stiffen, my eyelids twitching profusely, feeling the sound of her heels directly at my chest. I just wish she would stop whatever she's planning right now, because I don't want to be a part of it. I have done enough already, which I'm seriously regretting. I have been focusing on the repercussions of Rose and Alex's actions, forgetting that I'm involved too. I have been concealing their secrets, and God help me the day my boss will find out that I have been helping his wife to lie to him. I'm in deep shit! She slowly leaned over me with her hands pinned on my sides on the couch, her scrutinizing gaze fixed on mine. "What are you thinking?"I flinched, trying to move away from her, but I refrained from pushing her. "W-what do you want?" I whispered, stuttering.Her lips slowly curled up as she smiled mysteriously, "I know you want him, don't you? The offer is tempting and I know

    KATHERINE "And why is that? So you were savoring what you saw to the extent that you lost your mind?" Rose taunted, folding her arms to her chest as she slowly rounded me before standing in front of me. Her teasing eyes bored into mine. "That's not true." I defended, but my high-pitched voice did nothing to back my claim. Although I liked what I saw indeed, I mean, I loved how the polo shirt he was putting on hugged his body, revealing his huge and firm muscles. How his hair was slightly disheveled, making him look excessively hot and hard to resist. I noticed all of these, but I wasn't in the right frame of mind to start ogling him. I only glanced and looked away, afraid that Rose might walk in at any time because she might be playing a trick on me which I honestly didn't want to fall into. "You see what I'm saying? Even though I'm standing before you, you're busy going into your head. You're probably in a trance as you visualize those killer features of my husband, hm?" Rose chu

    KATHERINERose didn't say anything, but remained quiet as she pulled into the driveway and we slowly got down from the vehicle. She glanced at me and smiled before walking into the building, and without wasting time, I followed suit.She went straight to the section where women's undies were, and I was flabbergasted by the beautiful designs. But the price on their price tags had my excitement faltering. Surely, just some lingerie would make me beg for food on the street.Well, the person beside me was more than capable of purchasing them. That's why she'd brought me to this place in the first place." Judging from the expression on your face, you want them too, but can't afford them, right?" Rose suddenly whispered to me, a smug smile on her lips." I don't want them," I countered sharply." Hmm.. I know you do. Who doesn't like quality brands? Actually, the money in your account could buy more than enough of all this," she pointed out, and I glared at her."Was that why you went ahea

    NARRATOR"Does it make sense that my feelings were being used against me?" Katherine mumbled to herself as she sighed for the hundredth time.No matter how she thought about it, or how she had imagined her relationship with Rose, not once had it crossed her mind. She had thought of one million ways to execute the order from Rose, but no matter how she thought about it, it was absurd for her to get involved with her boss in the wrong way, knowing the type of person he was."What an unreasonable lady. He is your husband, not mine. What makes you think I would be able to stop him? Am I supposed to tie her husband with a rope in order to prevent him from leaving the resort earlier than others? It's not like I have any right to speak to him about whatever and whenever." "Hey, why are you mumbling to yourself? The bus is here. Are you not getting in?" Katherine was so lost in her thoughts that the unexpected voice startled her. She slowly looked up and saw a guy smiling at her.And that

    NARRATOR"Oh wow.. You're something else. You finished the food even though you were literally crying." Katherine blinked in surprise, shaking her head as she stared at Eric, whose plate was void of any grain. His perseverance made her raise a thumb up for him. "How come you weren't even affected one bit?" Eric was surprised to see Katherine unaffected and in a good mood."I told you that I love spicy food." she shrugged. "I only pity those around me when I'm cooking.""So you cook your food by yourself?""Do I look like a rich woman to you?" Katherine threw back, leaning against her chair with her arms crossed. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she gazed into Eric's."It's just a question." Eric smiled awkwardly."Then, do you cook your food by yourself?" Katherine threw back the question."I do." "You're the weirdest joker on earth.""I know"Eric ordered some beer and the two began to drink."To be honest, I just got dumped today by my boyfriend?" Eric suddenly said."Huh?

I slowly stretched my hand, felt the table for my phone and almost knocked it to the floor, but stopped the movement of my hand on time. "gotcha!" I whispered to myself as I finally grabbed the phone. I turned on the screen and saw that it was already 6:00am and hissed. I dropped the phone back on the table and rolled onto my other side, facing the wall while burying myself with the quilt. Nothing is going my way at all. I can't believe that I actually came home with a stranger, and had to lie to my boss about my relationship status. When I think about it, it drives me crazy, my blood boils with so much anger. Flinging the covers off my body, I furiously sat up. There was no need to pretend to be asleep when I didn't even get a wink of sleep last night. Crawling out of my bed, I stormed out

    One year later. Sitting on a chair in the garden with my eyes trained on one little child and a bigger one as they played, I couldn't help grinning with excitement on my face. It was hilarious watching Rock on his fours as he gave Justin a piggyback, and if he delayed, Justin would flog his back, making him move faster. Who knew that the mighty grumpy CEO would become such a devoted man for his family? It felt surreal and wonderful. It felt like a dream come through seeing the man of my dream and my child playing like two kids while I watched. We are now a complete family after three years of me crying in pain and sorrow. While I was reminiscing about the past, I didn't know when my hand went over to the ring on my finger as I began to caress it out of habit.Yes, Rock did propose to me. It was last month, on a loving, cool evening, when he'd gotten on his knee and asked if I would marry him with a ring in his hand. He had insisted that he wanted us to have an official weddin

    Deciding that it was best to just avoid Rock, Katherine hurriedly headed for the door. Although their son might have made their relationship turn around positively, it still felt surreal and strange, making things a little awkward between them. However, her hand was suddenly captured before she could reach the door, causing her to halt her movement. "What is it?" Katherine quirked her brows up in confusion.'What was I even expecting from her? That she will run into my arms with excitement and hug me after everything? Hmph...' Rock shook his thoughts to the back of his mind as he looked at Katherine with a gloomy expression."I just want us to have a good talk", he proposed, releasing his grip on her."Why?" 'Is she still mad at me?' Rock couldn't help but reason with himself as he heard the sound of her voice. Katherine shivered slightly as she was beginning to feel uncomfortable under Rock's burning and unwavering gaze. No matter how much she tried to lie to her

    After rescuing Justin, Rock took Katherine and his son back to his house. Katherine couldn't help feeling weird as she stepped into the house she'd once lived in once again. She was in the same room she'd once stayed in and, to her surprise, everything was still the same. She didn't even have to bother about what to wear because all the clothes and other things the man had angrily gotten for her were still intact. She'd expected the man to do away with everything after her disappearance. "Why's all this still here?" she whispered to herself in shock. "Mom, what are you mumbling about? I want to sleep." Justin suddenly screamed, taking his mother out of her head.Katherine chuckled as she quickly closed the closet and turned to look at her son who was sitting on the bed while staring confusedly at her."I wasn't saying anything, honey. Why don't you go to sleep? You've eaten and bathed. What more do you want?" she walked over to the fuming boy on the bed and gave his head a loving

    Katherine and Rock got to the location Rose had specified with Alex. It was in an underground garage. Katherine was the first to get down from the car. She bit her lip, tears filling her eyes as she saw her son. "Mom," the boy screamed as she saw his mother. He tried to run towards Katherine, but Rose prevented him, causing him to start crying. "Let him go." Katherine spat coldly. "Not when I haven't seen what I want," Rose snorted. "Let the child go. " Alex said, causing Rose to shudder as she quickly released the child, while Justin quickly rushed into his mother's open arms. "Baby," Rose called out, as she rushed into Alex's arms. "I have missed you so much." "Let's go," Alex said, as he wriggled away from the woman. He headed straight to Rose's car, taking his position in the passenger's seat. "Oh OK," Rose nodded in bewilderment, as she speechlessly strolled over to the car. She couldn't understand why she was getting cold treatment from Alex. However, she quickly turne

    Rock's eyes turned red as he looked back at Katherine, who was glaring speechlessly at him. He silently took a step closer to her, while she took some wary ones back. Rock suddenly stretched his hand and swiftly held onto her waist as he pulled her into his arms, hugging her tight while nuzzling her neck."I missed you." Katherine hissed, as she wriggled in his arms trying to free herself, and while she was struggling so hard, coupled with the fact that Rock was a little tipsy, he lost his balance and the two landed on the floor with Katherine on his body. "Ahh..." they grunted in pain. Katherine was atop the man, and their faces were so close that they could feel each other's warm breath.Katherine, whose eyes were tightly shot, slowly opened them and almost freaked out by their position. She hurriedly tried to get off the man, but Rock prevented her by abruptly capturing her lips with his as he kissed her deeply and hungrily. However, he was forced to let go when he felt wetnes

    "Mr. Figo." Dr. Steve shivered as Rock sat on the chair opposite his desk. He was surprised when he got a call from Rock, it was like a dream. He never expected that Rock would ever come to visit him and with the way his eyes were so cold and void of any soft emotion, the doctor couldn't help but silently gulp down in fright. He could already feel a bad premonition of this unexpected visit from Rock."Why do you look so startled to see me? I made an appointment before coming," Rock said, folding his arms to his chest as he leaned back against the chair. "I know." Dr. Steve chuckled, trying to hide his uneasiness. "I'm just shocked because it's been a while.""With the status of my health, can I impregnate a woman?" Rock suddenly leaned close and said as he decided to cut to the chase. "I saw a child that resembled me. And I slept with his mother prior to our parting a few years back." Dr. Steve was taken aback by the unexpected question, as he didn't know whether to say the truth or

    After relocating back to her hometown, Katherine decided to open her own business. She was inside her flower shop, when a chime sounded from the front of the store. She came out from the back store to attend to her customer. But then, she suddenly froze seeing the face she hadn't expected to see ever again in her life.Rock also stood there speechlessly and their gazes locked, longingly. Time suddenly stopped as the two stared into each other's eyes. Katherine was the first to realize herself, as her mood instantly changed."What do you want?" She spat coldly, with no form of emotion on her beautiful face. "Are we going to pretend that you don't know me?" Rock felt a pang in his chest. She had turned colder than he knew her. She's like a different person. "Are we going to pretend that you're nothing but a customer?" Katherine threw back. Apparently, she wasn't ready to be bothered at all."Mom, is that my dad?" Justin suddenly asked, rushing out from where he was. He held onto hi

    In his office, Rock felt troubled and restless as he paced back and forth in the room. He had been lost in his thoughts and dying of curiosity ever since that very day he had run into Katherine and the little boy at his brother's wedding. The image of the little boy had refused to vanish from his memories. It's so vivid and each time he closed his eyes, he would see him gripping him with his innocent blinking eyes. Rock didn't even know how Katherine had managed to vanish from the wedding with her child. He tried looking for her even at the reception party, but she was nowhere to be found. It was as if she had disappeared into thin air with her son.He took out his phone and dialed a number."Mr. Figo." a voice was heard from the other end of the call. "Where are you?" Rock asked, his voice serious, indicating that he wasn't in the mood for any joke."I'm in my office, of course." Greg replied, while chuckling. "What is it? Why do you sound so grumpy?""I need you to fin

    Three Years Later."Kat," Hannah screamed with excitement while waving her hand as she saw Katherine, who also had a smile on her face. The two quickly rushed into each other's arms as they hugged so tightly while swinging from side to side and were only forced to pull away by a little hand that suddenly tapped on Katherine's side. Katherine and Hannah slowly looked down and saw round eyes staring at them with a pout and smiled. The little guy felt left out from the look on his face."Justin." Hannah's smile widened as she crouched down to meet the kid's level while patting his hair lovingly."I missed you," the kid said before rushing into Hannah's arms to get his own long-awaited hug, while Katherine burst into laughter."Oh so adorable" Hannah chuckled as she carried the kid in her arms, teasing his smooth cheek.
