The Ceo's Addiction 54
Kat's pov."What's the time, Kat? Isn't Aiden supposed to pick you up?." Kat asked me and I heaved a sigh and relaxed on the cushion. My eyes look over at the door any minute that passes. I've been here for two hours, which we didn't agree on. He said he was going to talk to a business partner and told me to wait for him, so we could head home together. "I don't know. Aiden is someone that keeps to his word, and you know if he couldn't pick me up as earlier discussed, he would call me or send a driver." I replied, and straightened up. "I don't feel right. I think something is happening now." I added, and Elle rolled her eyes at me. She smacked her lips and left me alone in the sitting room. Buzz. My phone vibrated inside my pocket, I dipped my hand into my side pocket and took out my phone. It was Aiden. I answered. "Where are you?" I heard him ask immediately. His voice sounded serious and agitated. I wondered what was happening over there."I'm still at Elle's house." I replie

I watched Aiden check his phone, running his eyes on them, he took down the other hand that was placed on his hip. I saw it curled up in a fist. I didn't know what was happening right now, but all I knew was that seeing him this angry, something must have happened. I heard footsteps rushing towards me and I turned, then saw Jeremy, panting heavily. He didn't acknowledge me but immediately pushed the door to Aiden's room open. "I know about it," Aiden said, barely in a whisper. Jeremy bent down and clutched his heart as if trying to catch some breath. My phone rang. I reluctantly picked up. "Did you see the news?" Elle asked quickly. "What news?" I asked her back. "Hang up and check."Beep. I sighed and went onto the internet. My hand shook when I saw the reason why Jeremy had just run into the room. My breath ceased. Could a human do this?I opened the door and walked in. "Aiden…" I started but was cut off by Aiden's phone ringing beside him. I took a glance at the restricte

Narrator's povDylan crossed his legs in front of the shivering Helena, who was panicking over at the single sofa. Her two hands were visibly shaking and Dylan's looks at her were neutral. "I'm sorry, Master." Helena choked out the words like she was being forced to. She was afraid, she was the only one home. She didn't want anything to happen to her baby, though Dylan hadn't found out yet. And how the heck did Dylan find her? Well, Dylan can find her anytime, anywhere, anyway. "Why are you chickening out, Helena?" Dylan asked her coldly. She bit her lips and didn't answer him. It wasn't worth answering. "You have to get back to work. By now, what I planned for Aiden should have been working, but you let your emotions get the better side of you. Did you forget? Aiden murdered your only sister. If you did, I will have to remind you. You told me you wanted revenge, now you're backing out?" Those words seemed to strike her immediately. Her eyes grew wide, and she looked up at him.

My eyes shot open only to find myself covered in sweat. A dream, it was a dream. Letting out a shaky breath, I swapped a hand over my face. I grumbled under my breath, trying not to remember them again. They looked real, dad was smiling, mom was smiling, and they held hands together. They were standing in front of a white door waving at me. It was more like saying they were never going to see me again. I could tell by the light in the room that it was morning. What happened yesterday? How did I end up sleeping? I only remember being on the sofa with Aiden before blacking out. Mere thinking about it made my head throb painfully. Groaning, I placed the heel of my hands on my eyes and started massaging my scalp with my fingers as I believed it would ease the pain. "Here, let me do it." A hand covered mine and I jumped and let out a startled scream." Oh my God!." Turning my head to the side with wide alarmed calm sapphire eyes. I looked around the room and found I was in his room. "

Kat's pov"You should let me go," I whispered lowly but I was sure he'd heard me. "What?." His voice booms around me, making me jump. I quickly composed myself and looked him in the eyes. "You should let me go," I said more clearly this time. "I need some time alone.." I continued in a calm tone, my face emotionless, but from inside I was bleeding, I was preparing myself to say the dreadful words that would rip my heart apart from my chest. Anger flared in his eyes, but then it disappeared immediately. He looked helpless and short for words. "Why do you want me to let you go, Kathleen?" He asked, with rather pleading eyes. "I wasn't expecting you to give up that way. Why?." He shouted this time and my heart jumped into my mouth as I froze and moved back, my back resting against the headboard. Holding me by the arm, he shakes me up roughly and then lets me go. He ran his hands over his hair, making it messy. "Why won't I? Why won't I, Aiden? I didn't know the other part of you,

Reaching out to Carolyn when she carried my bag, she pushed the suitcase aside, then looked at me. "It's fine. Don't worry." She said, with a big smile pasted on her lips. I smiled back, then turned and paid the cab-man. Carolyn and I walked up the few steps to the front porch of the house. She knocks a few times before a young pretty boy runs out. "Mommy," he screamed and jumped on top of Caro's body. I smiled, "So cute." I said lowly to myself. I watched him look at me from her shoulder. "Who's she, Mom?" The boy asked Caro, who turned and dropped him on the floor. She pointed at me, "This aunty here is going to stay with us for the meantime. Her name's Aunt Kathleen. Okay." I was smiling as she introduced me to the kid. Seeing this kid made me feel like I wanted something like him. I've admired babies since I was a kid though. "Come in. You've been on a long journey lately." An older woman said from a corner and I looked up. She was cleaning her hands with a towel. She saw me

"Do you think you'll be able to cope? I feel like you're working too hard." Carolyn said when I walked up to her to hand me a customer's order. "I'm fine. Besides, I've done work, a lot more than this." I told her, hoping it would make her relax a bit. "Still, I want you to get a seat over there. You're becoming paler and you look sick." I was confused, I cupped my cheeks, checking for any form of a run-down temperature, and nodded negatively. She walked away from the counter and arranged a tray for me, she dropped it on top of the counter and smiled. "After this, please take a rest. I insist." She finishes with a strict voice. I shook my head and walked to the table. "Kathleen, um... I want to go and pick up Henry right now. If Jordan comes back, ask her to tidy up the kitchen. Ask her to wait till I'm back, Julia, take care of the shop please." She orders, untying her apron and dropping it on top of the counter. As she walked to the entrance, she looked at me and smiled, but th

Kat's pov"I told you, right? Henry is grown up now." Jordan's loud voice could be heard over the phone."Babysit your nephew, Jordan. It's not hard to do," Caro told her. "Get a nanny for him, I'm fed up. I have plans with Micah tonight, and you can't stop me from doing what I want." I sighed, Jordan can't be serious right now, even Carolyn was tired of her. "Okay, you know what? Why don't you wait for an hour? Kathleen and I are on our way home right now," Caro said after a minute. "Fine. You'd better keep to your promise." She added and hung up. I smiled after Caro sighed out and began locking up the shop. "Your mom's not coming home tonight?" I asked Carolyn, as we trekked home. "My mom's a nanny in Houston. She spent all her life there, so she rarely comes home. That was probably where I met Marcus, Henry's father." "Hm. You both love each other?" I questioned. She nodded gently, biting her upper lip. "He was nice at first, we dated for two years, and then when I found out

"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?."

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.

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."

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."

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
