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
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
