Two days later.Katrina was fully recovered and it was new year’s eve. On every new year's eve, Katrina made sure to cook elaborate dishes, especially her children's favorite while she lits up many candles to make the atmosphere romantic.She and her kids would spend time making wishes, eating their favorite meals and watching cartoons on the television. Katrina wanted to repeat the same act, but she didn't know how to tell Dylan about it. They were living in his mansion, she thought that he should know by now that they had a certain practice they carry out. She was still contemplating in her bedroom, whether to ask for his permission so she could start the arrangements or forfeit it for this year. Katrina picked up her mobile phone to call and ask him if he'd returned from the office.The last time she checked, he left the mansion very early to attend a meeting at the office. The moment she dialed his phone number, the bedroom door opened snd Dylan walked inside. Their eyes met, sh
Katrina woke up, realized that she was in the bedroom, she hated it when her allergy kicks off, and recalling how many times she'd fainted in the past few days, she felt awkward about it all.She looked around and finally noticed that there was someone on the bed with her. He actually had his hands around her waist and she freaked out in fear. Katrina stared at Dylan, she almost hit him for being a pervert anf touching her wrongly.“What the hell is wrong with you?” Dylan asked her as he grabbed her hands in the air. She stared at him sternly, with so much hatred. Katrina parted her lips to speak, but fear crept on her face and she shivered fearfully.“Dylan, what time is it?” She asked him, recalling that they should be preparing for the new years eve event Dylan didn't respond to her but then he also realized why she acted that way. She looked towards the window and then she realized something, that the day had already gone dark. Katrina freaked out in fear and stood up from the be
It was a long time until Dylan stopped the car parking by a park. Katrina looked at him unsure of what he was doing. The wine had already started having an effect on her but still Katrina was sure they were at a park.Dylan got down from the car coming to open her own side of the car. He took her hand helping her alight the car. "This way." He whispered softly into Katrina's ear which sent a shiver down her spine."What..." Natalia asked trailing off as she followed Dylan into the park.She was stunned at the beautiful array of flowers that surrounded them, the lights that made the colors of the flowers blend. In the middle of the park was a candle lit dinner set for two.Katrina was so shocked because no one had ever done this for her. She turned to Dylan with a shocked expression. "Dylan..." Katrina said trailing off. She wanted to ask him what was going on.Everything looked the way she had written it in her diary. From the way the flowers bloomed to the romantic dinner table set
Dylan couldn’t get enough of Katrina’s lips. Kissing her was like dying and being revived all over again. He had never thought he would feel this much from just a kiss.He deepened the kiss between them, spreading Katrina’s legs so he could stand in between them, drawing her closer as he molded her body with his hands.A moan escaping Katrina’s lips made his cock hard and erect that it throbbed painfully in his pants. And when Katrina rubbed against him, Dylan was sure he was going to lose his sanity.His right hand wrapped around Katrina’s neck as he left her lips to lick her ears which made her shiver against him. He could feel the goosebumps on Katrina’s body and found it quiet hot that she was so responsive to his touch.Katrina had worn an open back gown which she was grateful for. She was sure she would’ve ran mad if she could not feel Dylan’s skin against hers. She arched her back pulling into Dylan as she sort for his lips. Those lips kissed her so skillfully that Katrina had
The sun rays escaped through the openings on the white linen curtain, finding their way on Katrina's face making her to wake up. The moment her eyes opened, her thoughts was clouded by the previous night's events. She recalled each and everything that happened, even though she was partially drunk. She remember that it was her who instigated the kiss on Dylan before they had sex. Katrina placed her palm on her face in shame. She looked around, she could feel Dylan's bold arms wrapped around her waist, tightly gripping onto her like a thief wanting to escape from captivity.Katrina knew that any slight moves she made would alert Dylan. She wanted to slowly get his hands away and leave his bedroom, she didn't want to cause any trouble between them.She immediately accepted that everything that's happened is a huge mistake and she wanted to leave. Katrina , after a few trials, successfully got Dylan's hand off her waist and the moment she tried to stand up, she heard his cold voice speak
As soon as they all arrived at the Anderson's mansion, the twins were in a rush to hug their grandfather. Even though he was unwell, the old man made sure to attend to them and treat them specially.They couldn't get over his treatments so they came back for me, feeling over excited. Katrina lead them both inside, Joanna was the first to reach the dining room as she ran all through until she got there, pushing herself in-between people.Katrina, bring trailed behind by Dylan, could feel so comfortable with him behind her, she loved how he made her always feel special, he was like a shield protecting her. She didn't walk fast, she kept the perfect pace between them as they continue to walk towards the dining room. As soon as they arrived and had paid their respects, everyone took their seats near the finely designed table filled with varieties of meals for them. Katrina also saw her favorite food which she'd missed eating for so many months now She looked around and her eyes sighted
Mr Anderson took about ten minutes trying to narrate to everyone why they shouldn't fight, he never wanted them to fight, recalling that the family conflict didn't just start that day, it was all because of his own father who made sure to favor some of his children.Giving some inheritance while he didn't give others, caused an unending fued. It was up to him to get rid of it. However, he never expected that it'd get to their grandchildren as well.Mr Anderson made orders for everyone to keep quiet and eat their meals, while a extra chair was set up for Lucy to sit on. She was sitting directly near Katrina, her nemesis. She was so furious, she hated everything about sitting closer to Katrina, she wished she had poison, she'd laced Katrina's meals with it. What hurts her the most was that her dearest husband didn't stop staring at Katrina, he kept glaring at her lustfully. Lucy tightened his fists on her fork and then she banged it hard on the dining table,causing a stare..Everyone
Katrina decided to walk outside the villa to grab a road cab. It was already getting dark and she wanted to see the kids before they went to bed. They'd be starting school soon, she wanted to spend more time with them before they would.She knew how occupied they were going to be, and the school didn't close until evening at six. She had only a few days to spend with her children before they all get busySince she was also slowly getting her fashion home ready, she couldn't wait to finish up the design for her new collection, Katrina also planned to host a mini fashion show to boost her audience and advertise her business.She knew how popular Dylan was and if she was to ask him to help her make adverts through his company, it would be as if she was ripping him off because they were married. She also didn't want to get him involved in her business, she wanted to be incharge of everything until the end There were rumors about her using him for his popularity but deep down, she wasn't,
Dylan was filled with rage as he walked into Mr. Gerald Mickelson's room. Never did anyone think he would be this angry with his own grandfather.Not until this moment, that he barged into the house looking all worked up and extremely angry with his grandfather. He had thought there would be maybe a strong chemistry between his grandfather and Katrina.Perhaps, so he thought, they would try to bond so well. But what he didn't know was the fact that things would get this messy. Messy to a state that he would have to be in the middle of both his dad and wife, Katrina.And now that things had gotten to this level, he decided to speak to his dad, if not for anything, he wanted Katrina to be respected and treated as a part of the family and not just as the mother of his kids.When she brought up the idea of divorce, he became certain that things would never work out, and he was very mad at his grandfather, since he knows he's the only one who would pull off something like this.The maids a
Katrina twisted her face sadly,her eyes roamed all over the room for the tenth time. Everything seemed very displeasing to her. Right now, she wished she could change everything that had happened, if not for anything, for the sake of her children.She wallowed more in pain when her head rang with pain. She tried to sit but only groaned painfully. As much as she tried to forget everything happening around her, she was too broken to let it go, too hurt to think of other things.She weaved her eyes spontaneously towards the door, and her eyes caught a glimpse of Dylan. She hissed, rolled her eyes, and tried to turn to the other side of the bed with Mr. Gerald Mickelson's words constantly ringing in her ears.When she gazed at him the second time, she couldn't help but let every one of Mr. Gerald Mickelson's words stick into her heart. She had wished she didn't have to be an illegitimate child; she had wished things were different, and that way, maybe, just maybe, she would be accepted in
The next day at the office, Katrina had a really hectic one. The mannequins Dylan ordered were brought, including the sewing and designing machineries.So, Katrina had to put them in place. It was a really busy Moment for her, she even had to cancel so many of her meetings and focus on what she was doing at the moment. She knew for sure that she'd close late from the office so she informed Dylan beforehand.Dylan promised to pick her up once he was also done at the office.Katrina and Dylan were so hardworking and they still managed to find time for their kids. Katrina watched as the mannequins were placed beside each other at the display room so she counted them all. There were about a hundred of them.Katrina was stunned at how intentional Dylan was concerning her, she even managed to check the prices per one online. They were highly expensive, she didn't even know how else to pay him back for his kindness.Katrina was super excited to see her fashion house slowly becoming a reality
The sun rays escaped into the room through the little opening on the golden linen curtains, and it hit directly on Dylan's face. The moment he opened his eyes, he quickly looked at the other side of the bed searching for Katrina who was not in bed.He had felt her absence, making him curious to know where she was. He got up and wrapped a robe around his body heading outside the bedroom. Just as he reached the door, he noticed it push open and Katrina walked inside with a tray and two mugs containing hot coffee.She'd woken up earlier and head to the kitchen in order to prepare a meal for them to eat, but when she got to the kitchen she realized that there was no groceries except coffee so she made some for them since they both had alcohol last night.Katrina made her way to the drawer where she kept the tray on top. She moved closer to Dylan and gave him a kiss on the lips briefly, but he wanted more. He grabbed her waist and hugged her to himself, their skin slammed on each other sof
When they got back to the mansion, Dylan helped Katrina relieve the pain on her face using a cold water compress and a salve. She was grateful for his help but still tried to talk him out of his decision to cut off those men's limbs The thoughts of it scares her to the core and made her so uncomfortable. Katrina stared into Dylan's eyes, they were cold, more than they used to be.Clearly, he was so enraged, thinking of what she'd gone through in the hands of those perverts. Katrina also found out that Dylan had the houses in that areas burned down Incase they'd already taken her naked pictures and hid it somewhere so they'll all get destroyed.Dylan got up from the bed after he was done with giving Katrina her treatments. She tried to say something to him but he already left the bedroom heading outside without looking back or making a stop.Katrina was worried about Dylan, he was someone who didn't know how to manage his emotions except using violence. Katrina felt lost at the moment
Katrina arrived at the cafe about ten minutes later, she looked around going to recognize her potential client. The man sent his picture for her easy recognition but then she realized that none of the people there looked like him.Katrina wasn't in the mood to play games, although his offer seemed to good to be truth, she believed in it and accepted. But right now it was all looking like a scam.She turned back trying to leave , since she had a lot to do at the office, she didn't want to waste her time right there.Upon reaching the exit of the cafe, she saw a man approaching where she stood, near her car. She was silently staring at him, scanning him properly to ensure that she wasn't mistaking the identity “Miss Katrina?” He called out to her.“It's Mrs Mickelson to you, sir” she responded rudely, seeing him as one of the people in the society who never saw her as the wife of Dylan. Katrina frowned even after he apologized to her.“Can we please go inside and discuss now?” He sai
During the night after Katrina had completely settled down, she wore a flimsy nightwear and took a stroll outside the mansion.The evening breeze was cold and it brushed her hair backwards, she rubbed her shoulders gently, trying to calm the chills passing through her body.As soon as she reached outside, she stood near the veranda, staring up at the moon, leaning her left shoulder against the walls. Katrina couldn't stop thinking about what Dylan had narrated to her at the office concerning visiting his family soonEven though she had expected this moment to come earlier, she didn't think that it would be such a big deal until now when Dylan explained to her how bad his relationship with the family was.It all falls into how she was going to manage her relationship with them. According to Dylan, his grandfather was the main character and a hard nut to crack. She would somehow have to find out how to loosen his nut so it could favor her and the children. As it is, she was already fac
Dylan puts down the chop board and he proceeded to take an apron from he stand. Meanwhile Jeremy was at the living room sorting out his assignments, Joanna joined him in the kitchen.Although she barely knew how to cook, she could recall some of the foods her mother cooked for them back at Germany. Joanna narrated everything that she'd witnessed in Germany, how her mother struggled to get a job before registering for fashion school..The little girl seemed so proud of her mother, she had a lot of things to tell Dylan. Her stories made the cooking super slow but Dylan didn't mind, he loved keeping companies with her, she was a very genius kid and very talkative.Dylan tried to think and compare whom she took after. He knew that it was definitely not him, he was never a talkative in any period of his life. Not as a kid or growing up. Definitely it was Katrina, she would be the talkative one. Thinking about it, he smiled.Soon, dinner was done and served at the dining room. Dylan was a
While speeding down the highway in his car, Dylan got a text message from Katrina regarding the interior designers he employed to get a job done in her office. He suddenly diverted his drive to face the road leading to Katrina's company Dylan went in a full speed and in no time, he arrived there. As soon as he walked into the place, he witnessed the designers carrying out their jobs. The new furnitures he paid for were also set to be delivered into the offices and design room Dylan carefully observed in order to know what exactly he needed to buy to make the place completely for Katrina's use. He had it in mind to buy her some industrial seeming machine and others that were used for designs. Golden mannequins and also cloth racks.He quickly logged into his schedule app and set a reminder so he'd go there tomorrow with his assistant to get them. As he .ase his way towards her office, one of the interior designers noticed his presence and he quickly greeted, catching the attention i
