As soon as the sun came up, Aiden dropped Katherine off at her house. "I'll see you later, Aiden," she stated, as she unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned over to kiss him. "OK, say hello to your family for me," Aiden replied as he watched her walk up to her door. He made sure she got inside safely before he drove off. Katherine was still tired from her extracurricular activities last night. She checked the time and realized it was still early and everyone was still asleep. She headed upstairs to her bedroom to try and get some rest, but instead, she ended up spending the next few hours obsessing about Aiden and Violet. She still couldn't wrap her head around the whole situation. Violet was a whore, but why? She had money, lots of it, too. Maybe she just enjoyed having sex, Kat thought, but still, running an escort service could shame the O'Hare family. Kat sighed, thinking how devastated Deborah would be if she found out. Ever since Mr. O'Hare died, something in the woman snappe
"Come on, baby, don't be shy," Kat licked her lips as she gestured for Aiden to continue. "I was thinking we could go out this Saturday, you know, you, me and the kids," he finished. "Ohhhh Jesus!" He hissed when he felt Kat's lips on the tip of his penis. "Saturday?" Kat asked, with her tongue circling the head of his member. "Yeah," he nodded his head. "OK, where to?" She asked, while she gently began sucking on the top, sliding more and more of him into her mouth. "Ahhh!!! Ohhhh!" Aiden moaned. "We could go to the beachhhhh," he gasped when he felt her hand cupping the base of his dick while her head began to move faster. "We could have a little picnic, just the four of us... shiiiittt!" He hollered when he felt her palm squeezing his balls. Katherine sucked him harder, her palms working the base of his shaft and cupping his balls at the same time her head was bobbing up and down. Aiden's head flung backward as he enjoye
Katherine was confused about Violet's reaction. She hoped she would've been mature enough to have a decent conversation and not pop off. How delusional can someone be? She also hoped that Violet wouldn't do anything crazy, since she was obviously out of her mind. A month had passed, and they haven't seen or heard anything from Violet. Katherine told Aiden that she confronted her and told her about their relationship. He wished she had told him before she went to see Vee, but he understood. The kids and Aiden have been hanging out a lot, especially on weekends. He brought Nathan to the baseball game, and he even got him a signed baseball. He took Nola to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, and Nola was in heaven. She learned about different species of flowers and insects. She even got a jar with some butterfly larvae. She couldn't wait for them to hatch. Aiden felt like the happiest man in the world. He knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Katherine, so he was about to
Everything was almost set for the evening. Aiden got some lovely flowers and delicious chocolates for Katherine. He went to the barber and had a fresh cut and shave, he even bought a shirt in the same colour as Kat's dress so that their outfits would be matching.While Kat was upstairs getting ready, he was downstairs with Dustin, Taryn, and the twins. They agreed to let the children stay at Aiden's place while they go out. The twins gave Aiden a pep talk because they could tell that he was nervous and Nathan threw in a few threats here and there. Half an hour later, Taryn went upstairs to check on Kat. She found her struggling to clasp a necklace around her neck because she had on French tip fingernails which she wasn't used to. "Come let me help you," Taryn said as she walked over to her best friend. "Thanks because these blasted fingernails are working my last nerves," she fussed "You'll get used to them. They're not even long," Taryn giggled. She recommended the tips because s
A week had passed since Kat and Aiden got engaged. They were both on cloud nine and enjoying every moment with each other. Katherine surprised him at his workplace to have a little lunch date. They sat in Aiden's office, conversing while enjoying their meal. "I'm so glad that Nola's butterfly finally hatched," Aiden stated before biting into his grilled cheese sandwich. "Me too. I wish you were there to see the glee in her eyes as she watched it," Kat smiled. "Maybe the next time we go there she can get other species. Imagine if she got enough to build her own conservatory." "That would be a dream come true for her," Kat gushed over the idea. "Then we will definitely make that happen," Aiden assured her. They continued to chitchat until it was time for Kat to return to work. "I think it's time for me to get back to work," Kat stated checking the time on her watch. "Ok, my love. Let me see you out," Aiden suggested. "No that's alright Aiden. You don't have t
Aiden was in his office doing business when his office phone began to go off. Being that he was reviewing some important documents, he left it for his assistant to answer it. Five seconds later, his phone blew up again, so once more he let it go to his secretary. But then his cell phone started to ring. He checked it and saw that it was Katherine. He pushed his work aside and with a smile, he answered. "Good morning, my love. How are you?" He asked, but Kat's heavy breathing told him something was wrong. "Katherine, are you OK? Did something happen to the twins?" He stood up, waiting for her to answer. "The kids are fine, Aiden, but I'm not," she answered, her voice cracking at the end. "Why? What's wrong baby?""Have you seen the papers this morning, Aiden? There's a photo of us on the front page kissing, and now my business place is crawling with paparazzi. I'm even scared to send the children to school right now, so they are here with me.""Oh, Katherine, I'm so sorry, I didn't
Aiden saw that Patrick was sweating like a whore in church. He was nervous, and he had all right to be. He even had the nerve to ask if they knew who was embezzling money. Yes, they know who it is, it's you, Aiden said internally. "Something like that," Aiden responded as he took a seat behind his desk. Patrick stared at him, a bit confused. "What do you mean, something like that? He sounded flustered as he said, “It's either they did or they didn't.”Aiden disregarded the question and followed up with one of his own."Patrick what am I to you?" Patrick observed Aiden with a sense of bewilderment. “What do you mean?" "It's a pretty straightforward question Pat, What am I to you?" Patrick began to consider the question, exploring various ways to respond. "Well," he began. " You're one of my best friends. In fact, you're like a brother to me, even though we don't see eye to eye sometimes. But that's how families are, right?" "So you see me as your family?" He asked as he began punc
During the weeks that followed, Katherine became more understanding and was by Aiden's side every chance she got. He was angry at himself about the situation, but Katherine's presence and words of encouragement made it bearable. Kat's mother and father were also supportive. They would ensure to check up on Aiden every now and again. Things weren't as bad as before, and they couldn't be happier. Aiden and Dustin were at Aiden's house waiting for Katherine and Taryn so that they could have couples game night. They were setting up the different games they would play on a large, round coffee table in the center of the living room. They also had an assortment of snacks and other treats. "I'm looking forward to a night of fun and games," Dustin spoke as he placed three bottles of sparkling wine in an ice bucket. "The ladies are gonna love this," Aiden added as he placed four large cushions on the floor. "Yeah, I think they will," Dustin agreed. "They deserve this,"Aiden
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
