Clara ran into the bar breathing very hard. She sighted the person she wanted to see and walked toward him.She stopped at his table and slumped down on the seat trying so hard to calm herself.The person was just drinking his wine unconcerned about what was happening to her. He thought of what she wanted from him.Clara cleared her throat and said, "Finally, I found you."The man scoffed."What do you want, Clara?."Clara laughed, "Staying over at Seattle without anyone knowing?. Have you been spying on them?."The man smirked, he replied, "Why would I spy on them?." He asked in defense.Clara clapped her hands together and replied cunningly, "Isn't it obvious?."The man didn't answer.Clara began laughing.When she was done, she bent down and poured herself a drink."Let's work together." She suggested.The man's eyebrows raised, he leaned forward and replied to her in a low tone."I work alone, Clara."Clara smirked, she sipped the wine and said, "

*Morning*Aiden and Kat walked downstairs together. Noelle looked up and smiled at the couple. She muttered to Dylan, "They're here."When they reached the table, Kat wondered why they were looking right at her and chose to keep calm.

Aiden smirked, he was enjoying the conversation.Aiden asked them, "And why

Kat stood in front of her parents' grave. She hadn't been there after that day she came by on their Anniversary.She had been coming alone but today, she came with her daughter, Nicole."Mom, Dad, I'm getting married, finally."She looked down at the kid and smiled at her, she pushed Nicole to stand in front of her as her hand rested on Nicole's shoulders."Her name's Nicole and she's my daughter." She scoffs and tugged her hair behind her right ear."She does remind me of who you are to me. She has your hair, your face and she's even as smart as you are."She bent down and whispered, "Nicole, say hi to your grandparents."Nicole looked up at her inquisitively, "My grandparents? What about grandma Lillian?."Kat smiled at her, she replied, "Nic, I am your mother," Then she pointed at the grave, "They're my parents and grandma Lillian is their parents.""So, grandma Lillian and grandpa are your grandparents and..they are my grandparents."Kat smiled, "Smart girl."Nicole smiled back an

*Five days later.**Her engagement party*Kathleen stood up from her chair and ran a hand on her now curled and glossed hair. She smiled slightly at her reflection in the mirror. She didn't look quite ugly, did she?."You still haven't lost your touch, eh," She said to Carolyn, who was looking over her shoulder. "I believe that should be your thank you," Carolyn said to her and she chuckled softly."And you are welcome." She added, Kat, sighed as Carolyn's hands grabbed her shoulder and turned her over.Kat looked down sadly, tears started to spill down her eyes."I missed Grandma Lillian. I still can't believe it till today."Caro wiped her tears away, "Oh baby. You will ruin your makeup. I did quite well in making you beautiful, my angel."Kat sniffed. She hasn't gotten over the fact that her grandma was no more. No matter how happy she tried to look today, she won't forget her grandma. And that she can't be here on her wedding day still got her tied up emotionally."And remember, s

*Two weeks later.*"You look quite handsome, Dimitri," Alicia said, admiring him in a corner. She was equally dressed for the wedding. And Dimitri is Aiden's best man.Dimitri looked up and smiled at her. He said, "Well. Never in my life would I think of being his best man after what happened, but Aiden and I share a connection."Alicia stood up and started walking towards him, she helped him with his tie."You're his best friend. I don't know if you feel good about that."He was confused."About what?.""Feel good playing the best man and not the groom."Dimitri smiled sadly."She chooses who plays that part. And I feel lucky because if this didn't happen, I would live with a woman who doesn't love me all my life. It won't last, you know, all will end in divorce."Alicia finished his tie and looked up at him, "I'm glad you made the best decision before it's too late."They locked eyes together.A cleared throat made them turn to look at Elysia, who had just come in."Aiden's car is w

"She will hate me forever."Lucas said, biting down his fingernails, very nervous and afraid to face Kathleen.Clara rolled her eyes at him, she said, "It's better than wallowing and whining in sorrow. After today, she will never recognize you as her enemy but as her husband."There was a brief silence.Clara continued nevertheless, "It's actually for your good. Your granny must have left everything in her name, leaving absolutely nothing for you. You built that business, it should be your inheritance, not some spoiled brat claiming to be her grandchild out of blue."Well, it was true she was making some sense but he can't do any more damage to Kathleen. Houston's family business has been her inheritance, he didn't think of having them all to himself but the only problem he had was she never reciprocated her love for him.If he doesn't have her, no one will.The clicking of some glasses made him turn to see Clara grinding some white stuff at the table.On top of the table was a syring

Where's mommy?."He looked at Noelle and gave her a sigh to take Nicole up to her room.Noelle came closer,"Nic baby. Come here."Noelle took her hand and started leading her away.Everyone's attention focused on Aiden."She's nowhere to be found. I mean I searched for her everywhere and I couldn't find her, I'm so worried that something must have happened to her."Carolyn covered her mouth."Who could have done such a thing?. Kathleen doesn't have an enemy."Noelle said, coming down the stairs, "Aiden's enemies automatically become hers. I mean Aiden, you're very popular and well known around, you must have people trying to get back at you.""Those p

"Don't you think she must have run away with her lover, huh?. Do you think she can't do that? or is it not possible for it to happen?."Clara asked, trying to instigate everyone into thinking that Kat must have run away from home.Nicole replied rudely, "No. I think with you, it is possible."Clara fumes, "Nicole, mind the way you speak to me, I am your mother now, do you get that?."Nicole scoffed, "In your dreams, Clara. You can never be my mother."Clara wants to retort back when Aiden cuts them off by shouting, "Can you two let me think?."Clara bit down her lip and rolled her eyes. Nicole was glaring at her."Nicole, go up to your room."Nicole froze."What?.""I said, up to your room, now." He yelled.Clara was shocked.Aiden never shouts at Nicole. This was the first time he yelled at Nicole.Nicole blinked back her tears and ran upstairs. Aiden was tired, those two are driving him crazy."Stop spilling nonsense in front of my kid, stop hating, Clara.""Oh no, you're blaming me

"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
