Flashbacks………………………Three years ago.…………………………………………."I'm sorry Nicole. Right now, stay with your grandpa and grandma. I won't be around to see you grow up, but I know Uncle Lucas will take care of you."Nicole sneezed and yawned. Kat smiled and made her sit up on the bed.

This was when it all started, feeling that her parents were obliged and entitled to guide Nicole.Nicole was just three years old, Kat's hands went around her neck, and took off an old bracelet with a love pendant."My parents, your grandparents, gave me this on my birthday. I would love you to have it."Kat put the necklace around her neck and kissed the crown of her head. Nicole touched the pendant and smiled, "Thanks mommy."Kat smiled too. "Not only that,"Kat bent down and unknotted the anklet Aiden bought for her on Christmas and tied it around Nicole's wrist."Someone special gave this to me, and I'm giving it to you because

"Take tomorrow off. I won't be going out." Kat told her driver and began walking into the mansion.She had returned late from work and had decided to take her bath and sleep immediately. That had been her daily routine.Walking in, the lights were out and the maidservants had slept, she could only trace her steps blindly.Now, she was at the railing, about to climb the stairs then a voice stopped her."No time to check on our daughter."She turned instantly and could only stare in the dark."Who are you?. And what are you doing in my house?."There was a pause.Then she felt a hand on hers, and the usual chill it gave her, his scented cologne she will never get tired of inhaling, she knew who he was."Aiden?.""Sshhh…"He shut her up.He moved his hand around her waist and inhaled the scent of her hair."We could live as a family, Kathleen. You, me, our daughter."Instantly, Kat opened her eyes, shocked and frozen to the spot.She gulped down and asked, "How did you find out?." She sh

Kat was confused, she picked it up and wondered what was inside, then she opened it.She saw KitKat bar chocolates, a flower, and a note."Does Nicole already have an admirer?."Kat scoffed at the thought and opened it, she read through it and her hands trembled."Aiden has been meeting Nicole?."She gasped, "Oh my god!."Her phone rang, and she picked up her phone which was on top of the bed. It was Noelle calling.She placed the phone at her ear and said, "Hello."There was a pause, Noelle, waited for a while before answering back."Hi, Kat. I just.

She replied and ended the call.Noelle breathed out and looked at Fiona who rolled her eyes at her."Why would you invite her to our family dinner? she's not family," Fiona complained, taking the pancakes into her mouth."Mother, Kathleen is a good woman.

"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?.

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'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
