"Well, if Aiden Smith hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known."Kat was shocked, "Aiden Smith?.""Yes. He explained further that he had no idea of what happened, so he begged me to get the firm back to you."Kat questioned herself."What did you say about my proposal yesterday?."Kat didn't know how to answer him yet.Dimitri leaned forward and called her name after a long pause, "Ms. Kat?.""I'm gonna marry you," She stated flatly. There was silence, Dimitri hadn't expected a quick reply, he was here because of the house he promised her, he never expected her to just tell him she was accepting his proposal."Wait, don't..don't you wanna marry me?." Kat asked after he didn't say a word.He quickly replied, "No..no, I was... never mind. I'm so happy right now. I'm gonna marry you, you don't know how long I've waited for this."Kat laughed, though she didn't know how she felt. She feels nervous and totally out of control.When Dimitri left, she suddenly called N
Alicia was angrily pacing around her room, why was she angry?.Clara played her, again.Why did the hell does she have to trust Clara?. And now, Dimitri and Kat were getting married.She frowned when she thought of it again, she was damn angry, angry that things weren't working out for her.She dialed Clara's number.Clara didn't pick up. 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. It turned out that she's lucky to have men over her. I know one of her lovers who'd be interested in her too."***She smirked, "Clara knows someone interested in Kathleen. Oh, Clara. You really wanna do this? alright. Let's play the damn game.""Hey,"A voice said behind her, she looked back to find Elysia looking at her. Elysia had heard her talking to herself and wondered what was wrong. Elysia is the younger sister to Dimitri.Alicia raised her brows and greeted back, "Hi,""Are
He got more interested. Kat is Aiden's ex?. Does she expect him to believe that?."I guess you don't want to believe, I'd send you the proof now. 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
Kat walked to the car where Dimitri had been waiting for her, she opened the car door climbed in.Dimitri looked at her, "Are you ready to go?." He asked her.Kat shook her head negatively and answered him, "I'm sorry Dimitri. I didn't know how to tell you yesterday, I just…"He cut her off and said, "Don't know what to tell me?."She sighs, "I didn't know how to tell you."He nodded, "I understand."There was a pause.Kat folded her lower lip into her mouth and said, "Would you still marry me?."Dimitri scoffs at her ridiculous question, "Who would want to lose a treasure like you?. I love you, Sweetheart. And I also love Nicole."A smile crept into her face when he said that. Dimitri always made her smile with his flattering."Thank you, Dimitri."He takes her hand and said, "You're welcome. Nicole is she Aiden's daughter?."Kat's eyes blinked, her cheek turned red. Her heart was beating loud now and she stuttered, "What..did you say?."Dimitri quickly realized what he just asked an
Aiden pushed her hands away and faced her, his face was neutral, he sighed. "Why are you this curious, Clara?." There was silence. Clara was beginning to act strange, what's with this jealousy she had towards Kat?. Is it that she was more successful than she is?. Since Kat back came , all she had always asked her was about Kathleen. He was intently studying her. She stepped back and said, "Oh, nothing. Just nothing."He wanted to say something but his phone ended up cutting him off. He looked at his phone and cussed, "Oh shit!." Clara asked, "What is it?." "I am supposed to be at the bar with Dimitri now. Fuck!." He picked up his phone. "I'll be there shortly." He answered and ended the call walking outside the mansion. ***Alicia dialed Clara's number again and fortunately, she picked up this time. "I guess you're preparing for the wedding," Alicia said sarcastically, Clara raised her brows and almost laughed. "I don't know if you think at all. You knew it was never going to
"What do you mean you can't sit her down and talk to her?."Lucas got angry, why would Kat shout at him like that?. "Kathleen, if Nicole is not able to listen to you, who am I to change her mind?.""You're her uncle. You're closer to her than I am."Lucas shook his head disappointedly. "I'm closer to your child than you are?. You know Kat, if anyone isn't telling you how far you have changed, I'm telling you now. Nicole is your daughter, your only child, if you lose her, you'll blame yourself."That didn't settle well, Kat angrily hung up on him. She told herself, "She's just a kid now. She will understand when she grows up, I'm doing all these for her."And what does he mean that he can't sit Nicole down and teach her a lesson?. How can a little girl of her age decide to pack her belongings and also decide to travel to find her daddy?.~Kat stopped in front of the Smith's mansion, she had come to apologize to Noelle after the last time they had spoken, she was also here to ask her t
Aiden just sat and watched as his men tortured a man he tied up to a chair. His mind wasn't there, his mind was on Kathleen. In a few days, she will be getting married and he will lose her forever. But then, he wasn't one to betray a friend.Dimitri was his good friend, there was a favor Dim did for him that made him cherish their relationship.Aiden heard the man scream and he looked at him, pissed that the man had just interrupted his thoughts.He told the two men, "Leave him."They left him and shifted away. Aiden stood up and walked towards the man, he said to him, "No one can run from me. No one."The man was visibly shaking, the man had run out of the country, thinking he was safe, didn't know Aiden's men had followed him."You tried to kill my family? who told you it was a safe thing to do?."The man wanted to speak with fear but Aiden shushed him up. He turned around and backed him."What if I tell you that your beloved only sister is with me?."The man's eyes widened and he be
Everyone could not imagine how drastically Kat changed over the years, she still loved him, yet wanted to marry another. It was like she was trying to leave him now forever. She thought if she married Dim, then her love for Aiden would vanish and it'd left her with no choice but to love Dim back.It was so unlike her, She always fight for what she wanted, but in the case of Aiden, it was like he never cared if she married Dim or not.As she sits on the cushion with Dimitri, Dim thought of his beautiful life with Kath. Yeah, she dated his best friend but he was sure she had gotten over him, if she didn't, would she agree to marry him?."Why don't we fix our engagement party now?."Kat looked at him immediately, what?.She wanted to marry him, but not so soon.Dim asked her again, "Are you shocked? since we're all busy, we could fast forward to the engagement party and get it done immediately."Kat could see how serious he looked, opened her mouth to speak but saw Lucas and Nicole walkin
"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?." He asked looking from his wife to his daughter."Isn't she too young to fall in love?, love isn't what she should be thinking of right now. And well, that girl's mother is Lily Mila. 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. The way Lily talked to her over the phone would make anyone worried.Lily had called her and complained that Nicole made her daughter cry, not only that, that Nicole had taken after her in snatching men.Nicole was too young to be accused of such."Calm down, Kathleen. You're
Kathleen and Aiden made it downstairs together. Kat listened to Aiden after he told her to smile and act like everything's fine so that this would not make her visitor uncomfortable."So which family did you come from?." Aiden asked."The Miles family sir." The young girl replied.Kat asked, "You said your name's Lilly?. Like Lilly Miles?."The girl nodded and she looked at Aiden.Aiden whispered, "Don't tell me you're thinking of..?."Kat bent down and exclaimed, "Oh my god!."Nicole was just watching her parents reactions. As a smart kid, she already knew that her mom was not happy with her guest, then why?. What happened in high school that caused such insecurity?.That has been the question running through her mind."Mom, will I sleep at her place now?." Nicole tactically asked. To ask in front of her friend might make her give in to her. Nicole knew exactly where to get her mother."Fine. But I want you back the next morning. And also stay out of trouble." She ordered.Lilly and
"Nicole.." Lilly screamed, running towards her, she closes her locker and turned around."Xup, Lilly." She grumpily said.Lilly stopped smiling and asked her, "Why do you look sad?.""My mom disagreed, she'd asked me to bring you so she can see you."Lilly's face fell.Too bad."Well, my mom agreed. She'd asked to see the only friend who helped me with my school work." She replied,Lilly repeated classes after she fell numerous times, she was one year older than Nicole and they've become friends after she begged Nicole to help her with school works.Lilly is eleven and Nicole is ten.Nicole was the most popular and brilliant girl in school. She'd won so many trophies for the school."I think you would have to come to my house after school." Nicole said as they both walked away."Well, I've never met your mom. I know you must take after her," Lilly mused. Her friend was perfect, she had the perfect family, mom, dad, grandparents but Lilly never got to meet her dad, she only had her mom
"What do you want me to do now?."Kathleen turned to Nicole, she had been begging her to allow her sleep in a friend's place."Nic, I do not want to talk about this anymore." Kathleen huffed and said, then started walking up the stairs.She walked into Fiona's room and sat down beside her.Nicole came running in, but halted when she saw Kat sitting beside Fiona.The both older women were now looking at her, Kat said, "Nicole, are you here to ask your grandma to beg me?."Nicole almost broke into tears."Mom.."Fiona looked from kat to Nicole."What is going on?."Kat answered, looking at Nicole, "Your precious granddaughter is begging me to let her sleep over a friend's place. 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. No one even noticed he was standing at the threshold. Kat could not take her eyes off him, he looked really handsome in a ca
Noelle ran outside, cutting Aiden off on what he was about to say to Dylan."Did you know she remembered?."Aiden and Dylan were confused."She remembered what?." He'd asked.Noelle breathed out. The way she ran had made her out of breath. She was trying to calm down too."Kat got back her memory."Aiden's eyes widened as he took up the run inside.Dylan and Noelle looked at each other for another moment without speaking to each other.He came closer to her and picked up her hand."I'm sorry that I walked out on you earlier." He said, lowly.Noelle smiled and hugged him quickly."I see that you are happy over the news."She disengaged from the hug."All my life, my life has evolved around Kathleen. 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. You've stood by her and you've fulfilled what a sister would do."He tucked her hair behin
"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. Her eyes were fixated at Aiden who had come running to Kathleen. A tear dropped as she saw both hugged and Aiden kissed her passionately.Her face went red.She screamed."Noooo
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. I'm very happy that you could help. I still
