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.

    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

    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

    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

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.
