He took out his hand and said, "If you don't mind," Kat felt nervous, the man was pretty, she noticed. She slowly took his soft hand and he led her to the empty seat beside the left hand of Mr. Maxwell. As she settled down, and when everyone was settled too, she heard a familiar voice, the only voice which made her smile disappear.

"Are you all planning to eat without me?."

That was Aiden's voice.

Kat's heart skipped, what is he doing here? Why did he come? Kat wondered.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him, Dimitri stood up immediately, "You're undeniably late my friend. I thought you wouldn't show up."

Kat swallowed up, Dimitri knows Aiden?. Oh my god!. Why's she feeling this way already?. She felt like she got goosebumps all over her body.

'I never expected to meet him here.' Kat told herself and then Aiden's eyes met hers. She looked away immediately.

"I wouldn't skip a day with you, Dimitri." They laughed, Aiden went to sit beside the other lady, opposite Kathleen, and when

Fiona looked up, surprised then narrowed her eyes at her."What are you doing here?." Fiona asked Kat and she sighed. "Good morning, Fiona. I'm here to meet Aiden.." She replied, and Fiona scrutinized her more, she didn't look bad at all. Kat has changed over the years and it was hard to recognize her now.Fiona mumbled to herself, "Not so bad."Kat didn't hear that and asked, "You said something?."Fiona breathed out, relaxed her back on the chair, crossed her legs on the table, and answered, "You know the way to his bedroom, don't you?."She was rude but Kat didn't take it seriously.

    Kat chuckled, then began laughing. She's such a loser, her best friend got married without telling her, the only person she called a sister. Isn't that amusing?."Are you there?."She cleared her throat, "Where are you now?." Kat asked back."Currently at my in-law's house. You know the Smith's estate." She replied and Kat hung up before she could utter another word."I can't believe Noelle Anderson got married without telling me. I'm going to kill her today." She screamed out angrily and stood up. She put on her flat shoes, picked up her phone and her jacket, and exited the hotel room.***Clara walked downstairs angrily and sat down at the dining, Fiona who had been looking at her as she sat down scoffed, and turned back to her meal.Clara stood up and walked straight to the kitchen, she met the cook, "Did you prepare what I asked for?."

    "Well, if Aiden Smith hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known."Kat was shocked, "Aiden Smith?.""Yes.

Clara ignored her calls. Then a thought went through her head, it was what Clara told her the last time they spoke.***"That's the reason I wanted to teach her a lesson.

Gosh, I can't believe you are the only one who doesn't know that!."She finished and walked away. His phone beeped and he looked at his phone."Oh my god!."His eyes were deceiving him, isn't this Kat and Aiden together?. Why didn't Kat tell him about them?. Could it be the secret she was hiding?."Calm down. You are always understanding, you are."***Kat stopped in front of the Houston Mansion and rang the doorbell. She breathed out and waited for the door to be opened, while she waited, she occasionally smiled reassuringly at Dimitri. She was nervous, Dimitri was going to find out about her daughter, but then it wasn't exactly a good idea. She thought about it last night, thinking of what Aiden would do if he finds out about Nicole.He could take Nicole away forever, and she didn't want that.The door finally opened and a young girl appea

    "Stay away from her and read your books."Nicole turned from the words she was memorizing to her mother."Mom, are you okay?.""I should ask you that. Why did Lilly's mother call me now?. Answer me,"Aiden walks in immediately."What is going on, Honey?."

The one we know of." Kat shouted and walked out of the room.Nicole looked at her dad."Dad, what is going on?. Why's my mom so angry with me?."Aiden replied, "Stay put and I'll talk to your mother."He walks away.Reaching the room, Kat was walking to and fro the room agitatedly.

When I was at her age, I'd never think of that," She finished and Nicole looked down."Who's this friend?, because I know you don't have friends," Aiden asked, making everyone look at him.

I shared in her pains and in her happy days. I never really cared if I lived for her but I am glad. Do you know why?. She is fine. She's okay. And her sorrow days are over now.""You're a good friend.

    "Helena?." Kat called."Kathleen," Helena called back."Wow. You two know each other, but I thought you lost your memory forever," Clara said and earned a glare from Kat and Helena."You. How dare you?. How dare you destroy my life?." Kat fumed and started getting up. Her eyes had turned stone cold and her hands were clenched."Not only did you destroy Natalie's life, you went ahead to destroy hers?. Why do you keep hurting the people I care for?." Helena stated firmly. Her guns were firmly pointed at Clara."If you come close to me, I will kill you both." Clara stated with fear.Just then, the police came running around them with their guns. All pointing their guns at Clara."Get down now!." One of the policemen yelled at Clara.It didn't take long before Clara realized that she lost. She had lost her battle.

    She snatched the binocular away and rushed outside.She viewed from the front porch.She didn't know this person.Who's this person?.She squinted her eyes and took a look again.That face?.What?.…...End of recapKathleen stood at the middle of the field, looking towards the direction of Clara in which she had taken in. She breathed out, watching her come closer. She'd thought that Clara was one tough girl who fought a million times after seeing lots of huge fighting men beside her, but she thought wrong, Clara was an opposite.A girl who had a silk skin, beautiful eyes and innocent looks. She'd imagined if she at all had left a prison. Clara was beautiful and classic and…"Wow..you look different." Clara cut off her thoughts with a strong voice.Okay, Kathleen underestimated her looks. She's really rude.Kathleen didn't wanna go round the bush but said in a very straight tone."Where's my daughter?."Clara smirked."Ooh. You've got some balls now. I didn't expect to see you.""You

    She reached her room and sat down, her eyes looking into the phone every minute, waiting for any call.Suddenly, Aiden walked in. She breathed out and didn't look at him.Aiden walks further and stands in front of her, but doesn't touch her.Aiden mumbled, "Okay, I'm sorry." He apologized.Kat looked up, in her eyes, he was tired. He wanted everything to end, it was like everything was not gonna ever end in his family. His family was never gonna be together and his enemies made sure of that."You don't have to apologize.." She said but paused midway and looked up at him. Her eyes glinted, although she knew nothing about this woman, she was bent on getting her hands on her. She'd wished she found a way to catch her.Aiden bent down quickly, "I promise to get her out of the way, nothing will happen to you or our daughter." He sincerely stated.Kat shrugged."Do everything you can, Aiden."Aiden smiled and got up. He needed to shower and get ready for what is to come. He pulled off his w

    "Kathleen, Kathleen…"Nicole called but Kat didn't look up. She was speaking to one of the maids in the kitchen, and Nicole was surprised.She walked into the kitchen and touched her and Kat turned instantly."I've been calling you, you seem not to answer."Kat was confused, "Call me?.""I've been screaming your name for like ages," Nicole repeated.It then dawned on Kat that she was called Kathleen, not Lisa."Oh my god!. I'm so sorry. I've not been acquainted with the name yet. You know I lived with this name for five years."Noelle nodded understandably."Aiden asked me to remind you of the doctor's appointment. He just left for his office now,""How could he just leave like that?, he was supposed to take me there," She said, frowning."It was urgent, anyway I could take you there and maybe we could catch up like old times, I will tell you about yourself to help you remember,"Kat smiled at Noelle, she appreciated her, "Thank you, Noelle.
