....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.

    "Aiden believed her, Aiden fucking believed her." Kathleen could not control her anger. In just a few minutes of her coming home, she had set Elle's room upside down. Elle never stopped her from doing what she wanted. Elle just sat there quietly watching everything as it unfolded. "I won't tell you to calm down because you brought this upon yourself," Elle yelled at her. "This is not the right time, Elle," Damon warned sternly. "This is the right time, she's being insensitive. Did you see how she disgraced herself in front of them? Don't you know what it caused? Her stubborn stupid decision is what she is reaping right now." "Come on, Elle. What do you care about? Is it me or the guest?" Kat snapped. "You. I fucking care about you. I'm tired of keeping up with your act. You didn't only ruin your image out there, you ruined yourself, all because you want to put people first before you." Elle snapped back and walked out on them. Everywhere became quiet, Damon wanted to speak but

    Kat's pov. Never really over - by Kate perry. I'm losing my self-control Yeah, you're starting to trickle back in But I don't wanna fall down the rabbit hole Cross my heart, I won't do it again I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself, "Draw the line." And I do, I do But once in a while, I trip up, and I cross the line And I think of you. I do not know, but as I listened to the lyrics of the song playing on my phone, I didn't know when drops of tears started to fall from my eyes. Guess where I was? I was on the same bridge Aiden took me to that night where all this began. I know I should be at the wedding or something, but I can't even stand it. He said it was over, and why did Kate tell me it was never really over? Was it over for us? I had to go through memory lane. And I stopped on that particular night when he gave me hope. . . "I have nothing, Aiden. I have no parents, siblings, and I'm jobless, but Lila…she had all. She's rich, her father is a business partner,

    I basked in the feeling of his soft kisses placed around my neck as 'Earned it by The Weekend' played in the background. His right hand snuck behind and up to my back as he unhooked my bra, while his left hand found another sensitive area and began very creative things and I gasped. He pinned me up to the wall and I grabbed his hair, moaning enthusiastically as his kisses worked like magic all over my body. I'd never felt this way before. It was strange, but I loved it. "Are you sure you want to do this?." He whispered huskily, he was trying to be respectful though it wasn't in his nature and I could see his internal battle over having his way with me in his eyes. I captured his lips immediately as a response to his question earlier, he slid down and pulled my blouse up over my head, and we started kissing again. I heard his breath hitch as he stared at my bare skin, with hungrily looking eyes. Slowly and carefully, he got rid of any other articles of clothing we had on. He w

    I straightened up as I walked beside Aiden into the company's building. By now, I knew the news about us must have gone viral, and I noticed something as we walked in. People didn't look twice at us as they all minded their business. We stopped at the elevator, and Aiden looked at Jeremy. "Isn't it repaired yet?" He asked. I looked at Jeremy waiting for his answer, though I did not know what needed to be repaired. "I'm sorry, sir." He apologized. He bit his lips, abstaining from saying what he didn't want to say. "Come on." He said and started walking toward the other elevator. When I turned, everyone around had a shocked expression on their faces. Jeremy walked in with us, and he said, "You came in too?" What's wrong with Aiden? Jeremy understood and walked out while Aiden pressed the button for the 54th floor. There was a moment of silence as both of us gave each other cold shoulders. He's always acting as if I care, oh I cared. He grabbed my waist and pushed me forward

    "What do you mean you're going with him to India?" Elle asked. "I can't believe you're asking such a question after seeing me pack my clothes into that bag over there." I snapped. She's taking things too far. "Why?." "Elle, you know why. I can't lose Aiden again. I lost him once to that bitch. What if he meets another woman there? I would have to go over the same trauma again." She rolled her eyes. "Allow the man to breathe. Aiden might get tired of you if you continue following him around. You sound like a 16-year-old dating her boyfriend for the first time." "I'm not trying to be overprotective of him, though Aiden can never get tired of me." She smiled. "I know what I'm saying. If you follow him everywhere, he will get tired of always seeing you. Make him miss you so badly that he will want to run after you." "Two weeks isn't two days. I'll die if he stays that long, he might even decide not to come back to me." I bite my lips at the thought. Elle shook her head at me

    "Do you know where this is?" He asked in a low tone. I didn't turn but kept admiring the beautiful building from the window. He held me by the shoulder, and I smiled as he kissed my hair. "The gateway of India," I replied, "Do you wanna go there?" He asked yet again. I turned. "I would love to, but I'm afraid this is not why you're here. You're here to work." I said to him, "I can make out time, baby." He picked up my hands and kissed each of them. "Okay. Tomorrow then," A smile crept onto my lips, he stepped closer and kissed me slowly. He bit my lower lips seeking entrance as I wrapped my hands around his neck, I dug my right hand in his hair as he let out a deep groan in his throat softly, his hands carrying me up to his waist as I wrapped my legs around his hips. "I love you." He said in between the kiss and took my lips again, eliciting a moan out of me. Soon, he dropped me carefully on the bed and started getting rid of my nightdress. He slipped my pants off my legs an

    I was pacing to and fro the hotel room as I waited for Aiden. Who wouldn't when you're given a mysterious flower from an anonymous person?. I knew after I must have sent the message to Aiden, that he'd be on his way home. The message. 'I can't breathe, I don't know what's happening, I think I've attracted perverts.' It didn't take long before I heard a knock at the door. Suddenly, I ran and looked into the small opening to see Aiden. I opened the door. Aiden grabbed my cheeks immediately and kissed me, then he broke out of the kiss and I breathed deeply. He was looking around the room, and when he was done, satisfied that there wasn't anything out of place, he looked at me. "What did you say happened?" He asked. "The flowers," I pointed at the flowers on the table. He started walking towards the flowers without a word. "A card?" He asked and looked back at me. "I have never gone through it," I told him, agitatedly. I also wanted to find what was in it, but I calmed down a

    I stayed at the reception while Aiden walked in to meet the board president, who I heard came back yesterday. It was three days and the gifts were up and coming. Sometimes I would reject it and throw it away or give it to a passerby. No day passed without me giving gifts to people. I suddenly felt the need to walk into the bathroom, not after I dialed Elle's number. "Hi.please, how can I find the restroom?." I asked the pretty receptionist, who smiled and asked her co-worker to attend to me. We reached the door, "You can find your way back, right?." She asked and I nodded, she left. "Why are you calling me?" Elle asked the minute she picked up. "What took you so long to pick my calls?" I asked back. I could feel her rolling her eyes right now. "I was busy at the office, and answer me." She answered sarcastically. "Baby, please come back to bed." I heard a male voice say at her end. I shook my head as if she was seeing me. "Your work is great over there. Who's that?" I as

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.

    "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.

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.

    "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.
