Dylan blinked at the glittering ring Katrina was holding. He wasn’t surprised that she had found it because he had not been intending to hide it from her. He just wished she would’ve found it later than now.“That doesn’t answer my question Katrina.” Dylan said, ignoring Katrina’s question.Katrina was dumbstruck at how smoothly Dylan had ignored her. He was acting as if she was crazy for asking him why Lucy’s ring was in his possession.“Well at least we now know why you wouldn’t want anyone in your room.” Katrina said with venom in her voice as she threw the ring on the floor. She hoped it would get lost in his room so that the cops would take him for Lucy’s disappearance when they decide to search the house.“Katrina...” Dylan voiced out trying to stop her from leaving but it was too late, Katrina had walked out of his room, leaving the door ajar.Katrina avoided Dylan like a plague for the next few days. They had finally greeted the New Year without a sign of Lucy. Katrina had ke
Katrina’s eyes fluttered as she woke up. She looked around and realized she was in her room at the house. It confused her how big her question was answered when Dylan walked in.Her countenance changed immediately when she recalled what had happened. She had rescued Lucy and in return Lucy had attacked her.“Mummy. You’re awake.” Joanna said.Katrina’s eyes snapped to her daughter who was cocooned by her side. She smiled at Joanna, kissing her on the head. She turned to see that Jeremy was fast asleep.Dylan was surprised and glad to see that Katrina was awake.his guard had called him to tell him of Lucy’s escape and a strange woman injured where he had kept Lucy. He had been shocked to find out it was Katrina.“How are you feeling?.” Dylan asked Katrina as he set down a glass of water.Katrina glared at the glass before taking her eyes back to Dylan. She was thirsty so she took the water, emptying it as she drank to her satisfaction.She refused to give Dylan a reply, ignoring his qu
“WHAT?!.” Lucy yelled out in surprise.“There must be some misunderstanding. Officer my wife was kidnapped by...” Frank tried to defend.“Mr Frank, Please you can say all that at the station. Attempted murder is serious case. If I were you, I’d shut my mouth up and call my lawyer.” The police officer snapped.Lucy’s eyes widened as she turned to look at Katrina.“Did you do this?.” She asked Katrina.Katrina was as shocked as they were at the turnout in events. She glanced at Dylan, her mind suspecting he had done this.“Mrs Lucy. Please.” The second officer said to Lucy, ushering her out.“You’ll pay for this. I promise you Katrina. I’ll get the best lawyers and I’ll make sure to put you to shame.” Lucy’s mother snapped as she hurriedly went after her daughter, phone in hand as she typed away. No doubt contacting the lawyer she had in mind.Once again their household was back to being quiet. Katrina walked forward giving her and Dylan distance before turning around with her hands fol
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
Time wasn’t on Dylan’s side as he tried to move the kids out of their current home. He had decided to keep Martha since she was quite good with the kids and they loved her whole heartedly but Dylan had let the kids driver go, hiring a new one for the sake of their safety. It wasn’t as if he didn’t trust the driver enough, at the end of the day, he didn’t know him enough. But he had been wise to settle the driver by giving him the Audi he drove his kids to school to begin an Uber business.Dylan successfully moved his kids to their new home and he was thankful the kids had not fought with him about it, though he could see he questioning gaze and concern in Martha’s eyes when he showed her to her room.He had gotten this house a long time ago and had not thought about it until now that he needed to hide his family away from his grandfather.Dylan wasn’t sure of how Katrina would take the sudden movement but he was hoping on explaining things to her and hoping she would actually see rea
Mr Michaelson was confident Dylan would break and succumb to his request but he had not expected it to be so soon. He looked his grandson over and could see one thing he had never seen in Dylan’s eyes and it was fear.He was intrigued to know what exactly scared his grandson so much.“I am happy about this decision you’ve made but do permit me to ask what prompted it? The last time I checked, you had resigned yourself to loving the dead girl for eternity.” Mr Michaelson said.Dylan’s jaw hardened at his grandfather’s words. “ Why I’ve decided to change my mind doesn’t matter. What matters is that you fulfill your end of the bargain.” He replied.“Ahhh. About giving Katrina her freedom you mean. Well, consider it done but first you’ll have to marry Anastasia.” Mr Michaelson said sternly.Dylan scoffed at the old man. His grandfather was a very cunning man and Dylan knew this quite well. “Actually, I have a preposition.” Dylan countered as he stared at his grandfather.His grandfather
The word relentless had to be an attribute Lucy had gotten effortlessly since she was consistent in showing up for ever court hearing concerning Katrina while confidently accusing her of killing late Mr Anderson. One would think felt she would’ve given up after such a long time since Katrina in question was in coma and couldn’t participate in the court hearings but she want.Lucy would’ve backed out but in the end, the only way the inheritance could be transferred to her was Katrina getting convicted for killing later Mr Anderson. She had done well in covering up her tracks and had planned so much lies with backed up evidence for her lies when she got to court. Each hearing was a new discovery of who Katrina was as Lucy slandered her in every way possible.Lucy wasn’t making any effort to impress the judge but the jury knowing if she gathered a lot of pity from them, they would consider her to be the real victim in the situation. Plus she blessed the fact that her lawyer was a good on
“What do you mean by she’s dead?.” Dylan asked insensitively. All along he had hoped the maid’s testimony would vindicate Katrina, her death meant he was back to ground zero.The maid’s grandmother, Mary’s grandmother looked at Dylan with sad eyes.“Yes. My only girl is gone forever.” She replied, her eyes glistening with tears.“How did she die? What happened?.” Bryan asked with a suspicious eye on the old woman.Mary’s grandmother shook her head slowly in a sad manner. “Not in anyway a person would wish to die. Till this day I can’t keep thinking of what she must’ve done that must’ve pushed her into committing suicide.” The woman said in a dejected manner.Mary had been the only relative she had left, being her son’s daughter. The old woman had lost her son and Mary’s mother to an unfortunate accident which automatically made her the girl’s guardian. For years she had trained Mary and protected her in the way she could until Mary had returned with fear in her eyes from work.Her gra
Dylan immediately called Bryan, eager to know where the two timing bastard of a maid was. She was the only one who could testify against Lucy in court and clear Katrina’s name.The maid had seen Lucy killing Mr Anderson. She was the only eye witness to everything that had happened. Her testimony wasn’t only going to clear Katrina’s name and free her but would put Lucy where she rightfully belonged and that’s in a jail.“Where is she?.” Dylan almost growled on the phone the moment Bryan picked the call.“Good day boss. She’s at the province with her grandma. It turns out she had ran away to stay low there. Wasn’t a hassle finding her. I checked the address already and it’s very functional.” Bryan replied.“Good. I’m headed to the hospital. Meet me there and we’ll leave for there once I’m done.” Dylan replied ending the call.Hope blossomed in his chest and he prayed that his hope would not be crushed. He needed to have a upper hand over Lucy and that maid was all he needed.Dylan pulle
Dylan finally decided it was time to return home. After visiting Katrina in the hospital, he had not been able to bring himself to take the long drive home. The thought of going back to his kids with no word about the whereabouts of their mother saddened him greatly. He wanted to be able to see their eyes light up the way it used to. Though they were always excited to see him, he could feel their questioning gaze, asking of their mother, he could see the depth of which they miss her presence.Once they had asked him and he had been quite speechless on what to say. It weakened him to the bone for the fact that he had no answer for them. He had kissed their forehead whispering how much he loved them and assured them mummy was fine. “She’s just a little shaken from granpa’s death.” He had said.“Let’s give her a surprise then. It’ll make her feel better.” Joanna had proposed fiddling her thumb with hope in her eyes.It had saddened him when those eyes filled with hope crushed before hi
The whole day went by quickly and Katrina retired to the prison cell.Her cellmates were not yet back so she took it as an opportunity to rest since it would be her leisure time.She was free of their noises, the room was serene as well. Katrina slept off in no time enjoying the peace and calmness.She heard noises in the room hours later which made her to wake up but she didn't flinch from where she laid She pretended to be asleep.The gates were locked up by the warden and everyone came inside, moving to their various beds to rest.Katrina didn't see anything bad with everyone minding their spaces while she slept off again.Later that night someone snuck into the cell and she heard the noise but pretended.Assuming that it was one of the cellmates who arrived late so she didn't pay much attention to it.Katrina soon shut her eyes but then a Sharp pain hit her hard on her lower back making her body quiver.She tried to see who it was that stabbed her but it was too dark and the per
Dylaninstructed Conrad to book a flight and also an expensive resort for just him and Katrina. He wanted to make sure their honeymoon was going to be a memorable one for them all since it had taken time for Katrina to finally come around and deal with her fears.If he had known, he would’ve taken her to her pack a lot sooner since it had done the trick. Dylandidn’t really blamed Katrina but for the period she had stayed scared, it hurt him that she had not believed in his abilities and capability when it came to protecting her.While they were making preparations for their honeymoon, disaster struck as a messenger had come bearing bad news for Sebastian.Conrad had stormed into his study room where he was looking quite disturbed.“Have you gotten everything ready? I fear I might have to finish a few projects until I’m back.” Dylan Said to Conrad.“Actually Alpha. Something happened. One so terrible that I’m still in shock.” Conrad replied.Dylan Frowned, taking his attention off the d
It still felt like a dream as Katrina pinned the black hat on her head looking at her red eyes in the mirror. Finally it was time to put her grandfather to rest and still yet Katrina wasn’t sure she was ready to let go of him just yet. She wiped away the tears that fell from her cheeks, willing herself not to start her ugly cry again. She wasn’t sure she could go through the whole funeral.Katrina was thankful to Dylan for being with her all through. He had stuck by her side and was quiet supportive, handling and running around for the funeral because she was too weak and broken to do anything. She was yet to come to terms with the fact that her grandfather, the one person whom she loved in the whole world and while we her biggest supporter was dead and now she felt alone.She took in a deep breath as she straightened her black fitted dress and squaring her shoulders. She had to be strong for herself in times like this. Katrina was sure there was going to be media personnel’s there
