It was two weeks later when William woke up in the morning and almost rolled to his left and fell on the floor. Almost. Thankfully his reflex was impeccable and he managed to jump back to bed. He silently cursed then glanced at Kate who was still asleep. Slowly he swung his legs over the side of the single-sized bed and rose to his feet. He walked out of the bedroom, closed the door softly behind him, then walked to the kitchen. 

He turned on the coffee machine and made some coffee for himself and Kate. With his hands resting on the kitchen counter, he could not help but recall what had happened last night. He had picked her up from her office and they had gone to the supermarket nearby to get some ingredients for dinner. Yet by the time they had finally arrived at her flat, they had placed the groceries on the counter and somehow agreed to sate their 'other' hunger — the one that had nothing to do w

    Kate was sitting on the bed as she watched William's maids putting her things neatly into their joint closet. Glancing down at her phone, she bit her bottom lip as her heart was slowly but surely filled with guilt. She had told William that she was going to inform her landlord to rent out her flat and yet she found herself keeping on putting it off. At first, she had said to herself that she was simply waiting until all of her things had been moved out to William's place before informing her landlord. Now, having most of her essential things already moved here to William's apartment, she still could not bring herself to call her landlord even though s

    Kate blinked. Her eyes met the green eyes that belonged to the older man who was supposed to be sick and yet looking at him right now, she could only see a businessman. Someone who regarded her as a potential partner instead of his grandson’s wife. Not sure whether her ears had incorrectly heard him or not, she took a step forward and said, “Pardon?” William’s grandfather pushed himself up with his elbows and sat on his bed. “You heard me.

    Since the moment the car had been parked and they were on their way to the porch, both William and Kate could not keep their hands to each other. Kisses were shared, some were even French. William was fumbling with the keys, trying to insert the key into the keyhole. “One second, Love,” he pulled away from her, although not far enough considering she had her arms around his neck. “I want you as much as you want me but we will not be able to take it to the next level unless we get inside quickly unless we want to have trouble with the authorities.” “Fine then,” answered Kate, grinning. She dropped her hands and let him unlock the front door. He unlocked the door quickly and ushered her in before locking the door again behind them. Once they were inside, she had no time to see around because as soon as she heard the lock click, he closed the gap and was kissing her fiercely, deeply, and so very intimately that she was utterly shattered by how beautiful it was. She had missed him ter

    True to his words, William had indeed needed to go outside to get the sausages in the nearest supermarket because even though there were some potatoes, green beans, and other ingredients, the refrigerator did not have any sausages left. It was quite understandable, William thought to himself as he made a short trip back to his townhouse, considering that his housekeeper knew how much he grew tired of sausages, having been eating bangers and mash his entire childhood due to some obsession which he failed to comprehend now. Staring at the content of the paper bag he was carrying with him, he smiled. The obsession he had had when he had been a child seemed to belong to Kate now. His eyes fell onto the pack of Rhubarb and Custard. On the plane here, Kate had been talking about the foods and snacks that she wanted to get her hands on once they landed in London because she could not find them back in the States and one of the things she had mentioned was the good old Rhubarb and Custard.

    William was on his way to his townhouse when her mother suddenly asked him to go to this cafe nearby to accompany her having brunch. He quickly texted Kate, saying that he would be a bit late, then headed to the cafe. His mother, Theresa Ann, had been waiting on one of the tables outside with some puff pastries and two coffees. Once he spotted his mother, he walked toward her and then planted a kiss on his mother's cheek before taking a seat in front of her. “Hi, Mum.” “Hello, Darling,” his mother greeted back and smiled. It only took William a second to look at his mother's face and noticed that something was clearly off. “Mum, what is wrong? What happened?” “I do not know how to tell you this.” Theresa Ann heavily sighed then took a sip of her coffee. Her thumb was rubbing the edge of the cup nervously. “Mum, it is me. You can just tell me anything.” “Well, precisely because it is you, Darling, and I do not want to hurt you.” His mother looked crestfallen. William put his ha

    “But I’m his wife,” Kate told for the third time as she watched Cordelia cross her leg and sip her tea. “I believe you have mistaken my husband for someone else.” “What was your name? Cat?” Cordelia placed her half-full cup of tea back on its saucer and then leaned back on the couch. “Katherine,” Kate corrected. “Well, let me tell you something, Katherine.” The older woman leaned forward, her eyes were sharp. “William is not married. You can call yourself his wife all you want but legally, you are nothing but his mistress while I am is his fiancé and we are going to be married in three months’ time.” She collected her purse and rose to her feet. “If you have any dignity left, you should call it off, break things up with him. No one likes a homewrecker.” Then without waiting for Kate to respond, she strode her way to the front door and left. Kate continued to stare at the door even long after Cordelia had gone.

    Three days later, they had already gone back to New York City and in all honesty, Kate could not be more relieved. London had been fun but the last two days she had been there, she had felt as if someone had been watching her every move and it was not a nice feeling. So when they had landed last night, she had felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Both of them had been exhausted when they walked into William’s apartment. She dragged herself to the bathroom to quickly wash up then took one of the extra-large T-shirts from the drawer. Once she had put it on, she walked out of the bedroom just in time as William walked in. “Where are you going?” he looked rather confused. “To the guest room,” she answered, followed by a yawn. He caught her arm, his thumb rubbing against her shirt. “Why don’t you just sleep here with me?” Kate stifled a yawn and failed miserably. “Because I still remember what you told me ages ago, William.

    Kate rushed to the door the second she heard the doorbell ringing. Opening the door, she sighed a relief once she saw Jaxon’s face. Without giving much thought, she threw her arms around him. She felt his lips brushing the top of her head, planting a small kiss, and her body froze as she realized what she was doing and took a step back. “What happened?” He asked, his voice tight with worries. “I got this in the mail,” she said, pointing at the white box on the counter. Jaxon moved to the counter and took the lid off. He grabbed the note off the dead bird and frowned. “You will end up like that unless you leave,” he read the note and his frown deepened before he glanced at Kate who was now sitting on the couch, hugging her knees. “Do you know what this could be referring to?” She shook her head, her stomach churning and she felt like she might puke anytime soon. The stench from the blood was still there no matter how many times she had rubbed her nose with fragrant oil. She supposed

    Kate stared at her phone with a frown. She had been trying to call William but it went straight to voicemail. She dropped a message to Harry, his personal assistant, and Harry informed her that William was in a meeting with a potential partner. So in the end, she left him a voicemail, informing him that she was on her way to the airport and would fly to Washington D.C. as her mother was injured. “I’ll call you once I land, okay?” She ended the call and held her phone tightly on her lap. She turned to her right and noticed that Jaxon had been watching her this whole time as the car was stopping at the traffic light. “Thank you for taking me to the airport.” Jaxon shook his head. “I’m coming with you.” He shifted his gaze back to the front as the car started to move. “You don’t have to. It’s fine,” Kate reassured him. “No, it is fine.” One of his hands left the steering wheel and held hers. “I am here for you, Katherine.” She looked down at his hand holding hers before casually

    “I said I do not,” William replied with a sigh then tossed his phone on the couch. “Where were you, Kate? I have been losing my mind when I could not reach you.” Instead of getting an answer, he was left alone as she walked into their bedroom. With a frown on his forehead, he followed her inside and watched her strip her clothes off before disappearing into the bathroom. Something was not right. He could feel that something had happened today but his mind could not think of what possibly could happen that would cause so much stress on Kate. He decided that it could wait, all that mattered right now was her. William opened the cupboard and grabbed a towel then knocked on the bathroom door. “Kate, may I come in?” When there was no reply, he added, “I will take it as negative confirmation and proceed if you remain in silence.” He counted to ten before turning the knob and walking inside. He found Kate inside the bathtub her knees were folded. Her arms were hugging her legs while she re
