"I have a boyfriend!!!" Katherine squealed excitedly the moment she got into the house. It was as if she had lost her mind. "Yeah, I saw everything," Hannah replied, sipping her drink. Katherine ignored her sarcastic friend as she took a long sniff of the flower in her hand before dropping it on the table. With jubilation, she danced over to the fridge. Grabbing a can of beer, she quickly popped it open and took a swig before returning to the sitting room."How do you feel?" Hannah asked, as her eyes followed Katherine till she sat down on the couch. She silently thought there was no need to ask. She could see her friend was feeling over the moon. Katherine dropped her beer on the table, her eyes filled with excitement as she began to speak. "It feels so surreal. I'm beyond excited. Am amazed. Like I can feel different types of inexplicable emotions running through me. Am I really not dreaming?" she said, while grabbing her still muddled head with her hands. "It's real, girlfri
Rock's eyelids twitched before his eyes slowly fluttered open. He squinted his eyes, his brows furrowed as he looked around the strange room he was lying in. It didn't take long before he realized where he was. Sighing deeply, Rock slowly sat up."What the hell am I doing in a hospital?" he hissed, ripping the IV attached to his arm off with anger. He looked at his side and saw someone sleeping with their arms and head propped on the bed. No doubt it was his secretary and supposed girlfriend who had contributed to his unexpected visit to the hospital. He stared momentarily at the sleeping lady, his face deep with thought. He tried to touch her but couldn't as his hand stopped midair. He slowly retracted his hand, sadness taking over him as he wondered why things were turning out this way for him. He wished everything was just a dream, like he could forget everything and watch her sleep while he played with her beautiful gold locks till she woke up and flashed him her brig
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
