Later that evening, Katherine made a phone call to her family to find out how they were doing. Since they were preparing to step out for the New Year's festivities, their conversation didn't last long. Kat encouraged the twins to be on their best behavior and she also made them promise her they'd have fun. Around 9 pm, they decided to watch a movie with Taryn and Dustin. Halfway into watching the movie, Four Rooms, Dusty and Tar began kissing and groping each other, it got so steamy they had to head upstairs. Kat and Aiden couldn't help but laugh at the two lovebirds. They were like teenagers who couldn't keep their hands off each other. Aiden and Kat wrapped up the movie around 10:50 pm and headed to their room to relax in the hot tub for the rest of the night. "Watch your step," Aiden cautioned Kat as he took her hand and led her into the very warm water. She positioned herself in front of him, and he held her from behind. Kat sighed in contentment as she immersed herself in the
Katherine couldn't believe her ears or her eyes. Taryn was engaged. Her best friend, who didn't believe in love, let alone marriage, was about to tie the knot. She pulled Taryn upstairs to her and Dustin's room so that they could talk in private. "What the actual hell," Kat basically yelled as she stepped in after Taryn and closed the door behind her. "What?" Tar questioned as she held up the ring and admire it. "Are you serious?" "Of course I'm serious, I love Dustin." "Tar, I don't think you realize what you're signing up for. Marriage isn't a joke," Kat stated. "I know it's not a joke, Kat. I should at least expect you to be happy for me." "I am, I just...," Kat's words trailed off as the state of the room caught her attention. It looked as if it were hit by a merciless hurricane. The headboard was broken in half, a lamp was shattered in a corner beside the bed, while paintings and other artwork hung crooked or falling off the wall. "What the hell happened in here? Did you a
The Café was extremely busy for the next few days. Katherine barely had time to even call Aiden. They would talk in the afternoons on their lunch breaks, but that wasn't enough. They'd only made love once since they came back from the cabin, and it was a quickie while Aiden drove her from work. It was thrilling and unlike anything Kat's ever done. She knew Aiden was spontaneous, and wanted to be kept on his toes. He was nothing like Nile. Her late husband was a bit mundane, and not that she noticed it before, but after she met Aiden she realized her marriage was boring. Nile would have a schedule of the nights they would have sex, so it was more like an act of duty than a way to show their love and affection for each other. So this with Aiden was way different; more passionate and healthy, and Kat loved every moment of it. She had been contemplating doing something special for Aiden for the past few days, so she went on ahead and brought all the necessary items she needed f
"Surpr...," the rest of the word got lost in the scene that was playing out before Kat’s eyes. She didn’t want to blink, feeling that if she did she would break down and cry because of the massive heart ache she was now feeling. She couldn’t believe her eyes. This couldn’t be happening to her. Shocked and hurt riveted through her body causing her to drop the basket on the floor. Aiden shot up from the desk when he heard the commotion, his head still hazy, but still not too dazed to realize who was standing at the door. His girlfriend and love of his life looked at him like she wanted to cut his body in two with a chainsaw. Or more importantly amputate a much more important anatomy that most men relied on for their happiness. Vee was just there stooping still, not wanting to turn around and let who just walked in see her or recognize her. She must admit, she was embarrassed. Kat stumbled backward, her pumps caught in the cracks of the flooring almost causing her to fall. Her
The name Violet rang over and over in Kat's ears until it finally registered. Could it be the same person? If it was, she was wearing a wig. She only saw the back of her head in Aiden's office, but the last time she checked, Violet had blonde hair, not brunette. "Did you say Violet?" She asked Aiden. "Yes. Please, let's talk?" He begged her. "Okay," Kat responded, hoping what she was thinking was wrong. "We can go somewhere and talk.""Dustin can you please take Taryn home with my car?" Aiden suggested. Taryn agreed and hugged her friend. "I'll tell your mom that you'll be coming home a little later," Taryn said. Then she turned to Aiden. “Don’t let me come back with a bullet and a gun,” she growled. “Don’t worry, your friend is in good hands,” Aiden nodded. “We’ll see,” Taryn stared him down. "Thank you Tar. Just go, I’ll be fine,” Kat smiled “And be safe.”"You be safe too," Taryn squeezed Kat's hand. “Ok babe, that’s enough threats for tonight,” Dustin pulled on her arm an
Katherine saw the turmoil on Aiden's face, but she couldn't buckle just yet. "You can start from the top," Kat suggested. "Okay. So you know that I've had a hard time finding a meaningful relationship, right?" He asked and Kat nodded "That being said, I've been hooking up with girls from an escort service," he confessed and Kat stared at him with wide eyes. "You see, there's this chick, her name's Violet O'Hara, she runs this escort service. That means she didn't do any of the clients. But the moment she saw me, that changed for her. She wanted me and I didn't refuse her at the time. She became one of my regulars," he revealed and Kat stood. "Violet O'Hara?" "Yes that's her name. The truth is, she knew what she was getting into. She realized who I was, how much I'm worth, and I don't want to sound conceited, but most woman finds me irresistible," he sighed. "It was supposed to be a job for her, but I guess she caught feelings, and now she won't leave me alone." "Violet O'Hara?"

It was 1 am and Katherine and Aiden were sitting at the outside dining table by the pool. Mrs. Lewis insisted they sit outside and enjoy the starry night. The elderly woman prepared her famous tossed salad with pork chops and had her signature homemade dressing to top it off. "Dinner is served," Mrs. Lewis smiled as she set the tray of deliciousness on the table. She placed plated meals in front of each of them. "Go on dear, taste it," she said to Kat. Katherine smiled and took the fork with some of the greens and chops. She dipped it in the sauce and took a bite. "Hmm, Mrs. Lewis, this is amazing," she praised. "You have to give me the recipe." Mrs. Lewis laughed. "I will one day. Enjoy the rest of your meal." "Wait, why don't you join us?" Katherine asked, and Mrs. Lewis's eyes watered. "She can join us, right Aiden?" "Of course you can, Aunt. Let me pull up a chair for you," Aiden said as he got up and helped Mrs. Lewis to get seated. Mrs. Lewis shared herself a plate
Two Months LaterAfter receiving that text two months ago from that burner phone, Aiden knew it was from Violet. He did some digging and found out that she was indeed back in America and had visited Mrs. O'Hare to announce her engagement to her Jamaican lover, but Mrs. O'Hare was happy for her daughter and prayed that their love was genuine. Aiden also hoped that Violet would keep her distance, but he knew better. He told Katherine that she was back in the country, but he didn't tell her about the message that he got. He did not want her to worry, so he thought it was best not to tell her, hoping Violet would just stay away from them. In fact, Aiden realized that Katherine was becoming a little stressed out at work, and was feeling sick, so he didn't want to add to her problems. "I'm fine Aiden, it's just the flu," Katherine reassured before she began to down the bowl of chicken noodle soup Mrs. Lewis had made for her."I know, but I think it's best if you visit the doctor or at l
After settling down and going back to work a few days later, Katherine told Taryn about everything that went down on the honeymoon. From the creep at the villa to the weird encounter at the souvenir shop. "Girl I would have freaked out. You know I hate those voodoo stuff," Taryn said as she handed Kat some paperwork. "I was scared as hell, but Aiden quickly got me out of there," she stated as she sat at her table and began browsing the documents. "I'm glad you and Aiden had a good time despite that.""Yeah it was really great," she remarked as she signed the papers that Taryn had given to her. "These are some of the orders we have coming up," Taryn stated as she handed Kat the tablet with the information. Katherine swiped the tablet screen as she observed the information. She suddenly rolled her eyes, and Taryn noticed."What's wrong?" "Oh, nothing really, it's just this one order," she said before showing Taryn the order. "The wedding cake?""Yeah, the violet themed wedding ca
"We're home," Katherine announced as she entered the living room of her house. "Mom," the twins yelled in excitement. They both ran and gave their mother a big bear hug. Her parents and Taryn came behind the twins with large smiles on their faces. "Oh, I've missed you two," Katherine breathed as she inhaled the scent of her children. "We missed you too," Nola said. "Yeah, we're glad you're back, mom," Nate added. "Wait a minute, don't I get any hug?" Aiden asked as he entered, dragging two suitcases and a bag behind him. "Uncle Aiden," the twins exclaimed. They then gave him a hug as he kissed Nola's head and ruffled Nate's hair. They all hugged and exchanged pleasantries. "I can't wait to see what you have for us," Nate said while rubbing his hands together."Yay, presents, presents," Nola cheered. "And I can't wait to see the pictures you guys took," Mrs. Riley added. "And I can't wait to hear the stories." Taryn said as she raised her eyebrows cheekily. "And boy, do I ha
The honeymoon was now over and Katherine and Aiden were at the airfield, waiting on Aiden's private jet. Matteo and Kai were also there to assist with the luggage. Ten minutes later and both men were loading the luggages on to the aircraft while Aiden helped Katherine with her hand luggage. "Thank you so much, Matteo, for your hospitality," Katherine thanked him as he placed the last of the suitcases in its position. "You are most welcome, Mrs. Windsor," he smiled and did a little bow. "And Mr. Windsor, I do apologize again for that minor mishap at the store and also for the invasion of your privacy at your villa." He finished. "That's alright Matteo, our trip was still a memorable one," Aiden made clear. "Yes, it was amazing," Kat added. "Oh," Matteo began. "Before I forget, I just want to say congratulations in advance," he finished and Katherine and Aiden looked at him confused. "Congratulations? How many times are you gonna say that?” Aiden grinned and patted the middle-age
After Aiden phoned Matteo, he didn't get the satisfaction he needed because Matteo wasn't aware of anyone being in the vicinity of the villas during that time of the evening. Matteo however promised that there will be security officers posted in that area, and they wouldn't be bothered like that again. That wasn't enough for Aiden because for the next couple of days he had an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach, like whoever came by their villa was there to watch or harm them. He tried his best to brush the feeling aside and not make Katherine worry, but it was in vain. His mind even began stressing about work and the direction his company was heading. He wanted to take his mind off all of that, so they were going on their final excursion in the town. Kai came to pick them up around 11 am, with Matteo in tow. "What's bothering you?" Katherine asked him as he looked out the window of the car. "Oh, nothing really," he smiled at her. "I'm just thinking about work.""Really, Ai
For the next four days, Katherine and Aiden were in honeymoon bliss. They went on scenic hikes, snorkeling, shopping in the town for souvenirs for themselves and their loved one. They would check in with their families two times for the day, and every phone call was an enjoyable one. The twins would make it clear what they wanted from the trip. And each time, it was something different. Aiden tried his best to meet all their demands, while Katherine adored how he and the kids had a wonderful relationship. "Why are you laughing at me?" Aiden asked his wife as he rummaged through some items that he had already gotten. "I just think it's cute how the kids have you all riled up," she smiled as she kissed his cheek. "Laugh now, but I know the kids will love all of these," he stated. "I'm making sure I have everything. I can't seem to find the bag of sweet and spicy Taki pretzels for Nate.""Taki pretzels?" Katherine questioned. "I didn't even know they made those.""They do, and Nate
The newly-weds were over the moon about their honeymoon, even though they had been flying for quite some time on Aiden's private jet. Katherine, however, did not know where they were going, so she was in shock when the pilot, Frank, announced that they were at their destination, which was Bora Bora. She always dreamed about going there to experience the beautiful beaches and peaceful ambiance. She mentioned it once to Aiden when they had just met, and he was definitely taking notes because this was a dream come true for her. "Welcome to one of the most surreal places on earth, Bora Bora," Frank announced over the intercom. "Thank you, Frank. And spectacular flying," Aiden commended. "Thank you, Frank," Kat also said. "I hope you two have the most wonderful and memorable honeymoon," Frank continued over the pager. "Thank you," the newly-weds replied in unison.When the jet landed, two men and a lady came to greet th
The ride over to the reception venue was about fifteen minutes. When Katherine and Aiden got there, the guests were already there. The flower girl and ring bearer entered first, and then the bridal party. "Ladies and gentlemen, please stand and make welcome the beautiful newly-weds, Mr. and Mrs. Windsor," the MC announced, and the audience erupted in cheers and applauses as Aiden and Katherine entered the beautifully decorated room. "Now, the newly-weds will do their first dance as a married couple," The MC spoke, and the audience sat back down. All eyes were set on Aiden and Katherine as they slowly walked to the centre of the ballroom. The soothing sounds of Paramore's Only Exception began to play over the speaker. Aiden smiled and pulled Katherine closer to him. The crowd looked on as they began to move to the melody of the song.The quiet whispers drowned out, and soon, Katherine felt like she and Aiden were the only ones in the room.She looked at him and smile. "Mm hmm," sh
Aiden and Katherine promised they wouldn't see each other the day before the wedding, and that was driving both of them crazy. Aiden wanted to see her so badly, especially after getting some liquor in his system at his bachelor party. He yearned for her, but he tried his best not to break his promise.They spoke over the phone after the bachelorette party and even fell asleep while still on the phone with each other. The next morning, the sound of bells and whistles woke Katherine up. Her mom, Nola and Taryn, were all jumping in excitement and joy."Get up, sleepy head," Nola said before kissing her mom on the cheek. "Yeah, get up sleepy head, it's your wedding day," Mrs. Riley cheered as she rang the two small wedding bells she was carrying. Taryn then joined in with the sliding whistle. "Katherine, what's happening?" She heard over the phone. It was then she realized that Aiden was still on the phone. "Aiden my love, it's getting crazy over here," she laughed. "I can only ima
