LOGINI immediately strapped in my seatbelt as instructed and looked up at Edward. I guess I was expecting some sort of motivational or reassuring speech, but doesnāt a person have to have a heart before that could happen? Yeah and he obviously doesnāt have one.My luck had to be this bad? First time on a private jet and it was going to crash? Edward was indifferent though, he just there across me staring me with a questioning look.I already gave up any hope of getting any word from him until he spoke calmly.āThe call is just for safety caution.Itās probably just fogā he said in the most calming tone Iāve ever heard from him āHow on earth are you this relaxed?ā I asked him surprised āBecause I know itās nothing, he canāt see ahead doesnāt mean there's something there or at least enough to crash usā¦ā he explained His words brought me calm, I was beginning to relax and believe nothing was going to happen until he spoke again.āAnd even if there is going to be a crash, Arthur got it. Heās
āGood. So we met in college, dated for a while, lost contact and only reconnected at the reunion last yearā he explained āI didnāt go to some fancy college tho, I attended community collegeā Edward was beyond shocked , he stared at me like he was waiting for me to say it was a joke.I just gave him a āduhā look when he wasnāt talking āAre you serious?ā He asked āYes I am. Why? is that good enough? Too low for you?ā I asked angrily. I was really offended. It wasnāt easy to get my associate degree, I struggled to get across and graduate, took several loans despite the low tuition. I was still in on student loan and one dick head just sat there looking horrified just because he was born into a silver spoon.āFuck!ā He exclaimed lowlyOh if looks could kill. Edward Howard would have been a dead man that instant.āTake me back to LAā I demanded not wanting to say another word.āWhat do you mean?ā āTake me back to LA, you can go ahead and find a graduate from Harvey Mudd Collegeā āTha
āCan I kiss you?ā My ears are definitely playing tricks on me right? How can someone say that all of a sudden? But I couldnāt step back, my feet refused to move. Being so close to him and feeling his right breath on my neck felt Like some type of jinxing and guess what? Itās was so working!Comfortably getting lost in his icy blue eyes, I let him come close. From such proximity all I could say is that God definitely cheated because how could one man be this perfect? His perfect looking lips were seconds away from mine and I couldnāt wait to get a taste. Just like the night I first met him. I could literally feel his lips touching mine when the door suddenly bursts open, fuck!!I wished I could scream at the cockblock, a girl I remember meeting on my first day here, Ama or whatever she said her name was.āSorry!, Mr Howard I was just resuming back to workā she said almost immediately āItās okay Ameera, get to work now ā Edward responded in his usual cold tone She rushed off to th

CHAPTER 18Katherineās pov A knock at my door woke me up but I was too tired to even raise a finger so I lay still but the knock persisted, followed by Lilyās tiny voice calling out to me. I checked the bedside clock and it was 4:45, what could be the problem? Why is Lily up at this hour? I rushed to open the door immediately. āOh finally!ā She rolled her eyes. What?! āLily, are you okay?ā I asked ignoring her attitude āYes I am, why do you look so worried?ā She asked while making herself comfortable under my blanket āWell maybe because youāre banging my door in the middle of the night?ā I answered āItās technically morning Katherineā she said, patting beside her, signaling for me to come to bed in my own room and bed ? āThatās not the point young lady, you scared meā I said joining her anyway āIām sorry but not sorryā āWhat does that even mean?ā āWell, I didnāt mean to scare you but it feels weirdly good for someone that is not my uncle to worry for meā she explain
Chapter 17The tension in the air was already suffocating, I kept wondering why a man he just acknowledged as dad would be so cold towards him. The coldness and judgment in his eyes as he seized me up didnāt surprise me but to his own son too?He wouldnāt be the first person to assume I was a whore at first glance especially at the club house, I always found it amusing how being poor was enough reason to be seen in that light. The thought of leaving to my room to give them some privacy crossed my mind but that would only make the grumpy man feel he was right or worsen the whole issue so instead I sat quietly looking everywhere but at them until āMARRIAGE!āāBecause I already have a fiancĆ©e⦠thatās her over thereā My head moved at an unhealthy speed towards the Howards only to realize that Edward was pointing in my direction. I looked behind me for a second wondering if there was an invisible person there.āKatherine baby, please come down hereā he said with a cheeky smile. my ears
