He was awake.

He stirred and opened his eyes. He looked beside him to find me looking at him. My eyes were placed on him the whole time as I watched him sleep. He was beautiful in his sleep.

I gave him water, and he drank from the glass. "Have you slept at all?" He asked, looking over at the wall clock. I nodded negatively. I had been awake, watching him sleep.

"You have to sleep." He said and tried stepping out of bed. I quickly held him down, and we locked eyes together. For a moment, we stayed that way until I looked away and stood up.

"I already have your dinner." I said, carried the tray from the table and placed it on the bed. It was 1:03am in the morning. I watched him eat and made sure he had enough water.

"Come." He gestured to the space beside him. I tried to protest, but he outstretched his hand to my waist and dragged me on top of him.

He let me slip to the side and I lay beside him. "I do not want to admit my feelings for you." I whispered. "And it's like playing tu

    Our car parked in front of the building, I pushed open the door angrily and started walking into the mansion. I stopped when I saw the last person I had expected to see standing in the middle of the living room. I had already forgotten Aiden hadn't called off his wedding preparations.Immediately Lila saw Aiden, she ran over to him and flung herself onto his body. I shut my eyes as I felt that pang of jealousy in my chest. What the fuck is she doing here?"What are you doing here?" I heard Alden growling at her and forcily flung her hand away. "Don't you dare touch me again." He warned sternly. Lila looked like she wanted to cry, glaring at me. I turned and started walking upstairs. I walked into my room and sat down on the bed and thought of what had happened at the hospital.~Flashback~"Okay. I'll listen to you…if only you back down and promise not to attack me." The doctor said, twilring her pen around. I rubbed Aiden's shoulder, who nodded. He relaxed on the chair and smiled at

    ~Aiden Smith"What do you want?" I asked, not looking at her. My mind was somewhere else, somewhere in the car where Damon and Kath were. What were they discussing? What is Damon doing with Kathleen? I did not want to believe what was going through my mind and then something else caught my attention; the new chef. I watched her for a while. I thought I had seen her somewhere. I do not remember. But as she took out the waste bin, she stood talking to someone. I couldn't get a better view of the person in the hood. I wondered who she was talking with, and then I felt someone behind me and turned immediately. I glared at Lila, who noticed my look and stepped back. "She's got a boyfriend?." She asked, when I didn't reply to her, she cleared her throat. "My dad called yesterday, he said he wanted to see us at his house tonight." I raised my eyebrows,"Us?" "You, me, at his residence." She added. I bit my lower lip in thought. I'll have to visit mom tonight. I want to cancel this weddi

    Narrator's pov"From all the women in this world, you had to pick this one?" Aiden's mom asked. "Mom, what's wrong with that?" Aiden asked, and his mom sighed. Aiden shook his head at his mom. He wasn't expecting this at all. "You can't be with her, Aiden. When you find out what I'm talking about, it'll be too late." She said to Aiden, who had a puzzled look on his face. His mom knows something. "Wait, mom. Whatever reasons you have against this union, I want you to act nice to her for the few hours she's here. I'll know how to keep on with Cora then." He said, then walked out. Kat's pov.I didn't know I could laugh this much, Hayley and Harris were picking at each other while Cora just sat on the couch with a grumpy face. Her eyes were poked into her phone the whole time and I wonder if she was born with a mean face. If she hadn't smiled at all in her entire life. Then my mind wondered what Aiden and his mom were discussing behind the door. For the record, I knew that these two

    "Just hop in, and you'll find out when you get there." I rolled my eyes and started walking towards the bike. "Don't scratch my baby, Aiden. That's all I have." Harris said as Aiden started the engine. I studied the helmet in my hands and put it on. I climbed up behind Aiden."I would prefer it if you placed both of your arms around my waist." He said and I cocked my brows. "What if I don't want to?." I asked. "Uh..it's a bad idea, actually. You have yourself to blame." Harris replied instead of Aiden, and started walking away. I could feel Aiden smirking right now. The sudden vibration startled me and I yelped and wrapped my arm around him tightly, my eyes growing wide with fear. "I can't breathe." He choked out, and I loosened my grip on him, and rested my face on his back as he rode off. I sucked in my breath as he rode to my death. After twenty minutes of riding in the empty driveway with little or no car, I couldn't take it anymore, "Oh my God!. Aiden, slow down, or you're g

    "Hey…uh…guys." Hay shouted at their disgusted way of moaning in front of us. They're not ashamed to do this in front of us...me. I swallowed up the shame and took a run upstairs. Once I was behind the door, I slipped down from the door and cried silently, clutching my heart. He betrayed me, how dare he do that in front of me?. He wasn't supposed to make it envious. I mean he should have gotten a room or something. 'Are you jealous?''You made him do it.''Why are you blaming him?''Do what is required, Kat.'Those words kept running through my head. I didn't know if I should cry or get angry, for the fact that I had rejected him multiple times, given him freely to Lila hurt me. I didn't know I would feel this way, I thought it was easy. ****For the sixth time, someone knocked on my door. I sighed and shook my head. "Kat, open the door." I heard Noelle calling out to me. "I do not want to speak to anyone," I said, my voice wavering away. "You can talk to us. You need us." She in

    Kat's povI dressed professionally as I made up my mind for today's session with Aiden. It's been four days since I've kept my distance away, but I was his employee and paid me for the job, right?. I know I shouldn't be working for him because it felt awkward, but what can I do when I promised Hayley I was going to change him. I reached his door and tried knocking when I suddenly heard someone moan. My blood ran cold, and I wanted to leave, but on another thought, I turned the knob and open the door to make sure I heard right. I froze when I saw Aiden on top of Lila, on the bed, and they were kissing each other, and they were naked. Lila was the first to see me,"What the hell?" She screamed. "Sorry!." I apologized and closed the door. My eyes were still wide as I started walking straight to my room. I also heard the door opening again and Aiden shouting after me. I turned in the direction toward the sitting room and right there, I saw Damon walking in with his hands tucked into hi

    Kat's pov "Ahhhhh!." I screamed and yanked the blanket off me. I saw the rat running towards my closet and I screamed again. Immediately, the door flung open with Lila and Aiden running in. "What's wrong? Why are you screaming?" Aiden asked, searching the room for any intruder. I pointed at the creature and Aiden's eyes followed my hand to the closet. Aiden screamed to my amazement and jumped into bed. Lila quickly ran out of the room. "What the fuck, Aiden?" I yelled. How could a grown-up man be afraid of a rat? I thought he was strong. The rat ran towards the bed and I screamed and hugged Aiden. I felt that scream scare it out that direction as it ran through the opened door. Lila came back with Jeremy carrying a mob stick. "Where's the rat?" He asked, his eyes searching everywhere for the creature. "It ran through that door," Aiden said and pointed at the door, then Jeremy ran out in pursuit of the rat. Lila's eyes rested on my hands around Aiden's waist and I quic

    ....Bride shower party... "You seem happy with this party," Kat grumpily said, with an angry look at Elle. Elle ignored her, rubbing her hands on the blue maxi off-shoulder dress hanging in her wardrobe. She turned, saw Kat lying on her bed, and rolled her eyes. "I'm always happy with parties. Where is the party? Got an invitation?." Elle asked Kath who turned towards the bag and pulled out two invitation cards. "Cool. Now get dressed, we're running late." She said, "I do not have a dress," Kat told her, trying to find an excuse not to go, and Elle smirked. "I ordered a dress for you. Check it out." *** Narrator's pov Kathleen and Noelle stood in front of two huge guards who requested to see their invitation cards. Kat gave one of them the two cards, and the guards shifted as they passed by. The entire place was set up and decorated beautifully. Lila Mila, who was wearing the latest season's dress from Louis Vuitton, was surrounded by socialites buttering her up. She wa

    "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?."

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.

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

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."

    "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 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

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.
