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

"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’s POV“The cab just dropped me off. I'm heading up now,” I said, clutching my phone closer to my ear.“I’m glad you made it safely.” Noelle’s voice was soft but firm. “Listen, make sure you eat and take your pills. I put some extras in your handbag, okay?”I sighed, a small smile tugging at my lips. “You’re a lifesaver, Noelle.” My fingers hovered over the door handle. “Alright, I’m here. Talk soon, yeah?”“Take care of yourself,” she murmured before the call ended.I knocked lightly, but the door creaked open.My brows knit together. Noah never forgot to lock his door. He was annoyingly meticulous about it. I hesitated, then nudged the door wider and stepped inside.The air was warm, almost suffocating. Something felt… off.A lacy bra dangled off the couch. A woman’s purse perched on the armrest. A man’s tie lay carelessly on the stairs.My pulse spiked.Noah hadn’t mentioned company, and if his sister were visiting, she’d have called me. Yesterday, everything had seemed norm

He was breathtaking — the kind of man that made you forget how to breathe. Broad shoulders filled the cramped restroom, making it feel even smaller. His black shirt stretched across his chest, muscles straining beneath the fabric. His jeans clung to him in a way that screamed gym dedication.His chocolate-brown hair fell in soft waves, and those dark blue eyes locked onto mine with unsettling intensity. His sharp jawline looked like it could cut glass, and those lips... full, inviting, dangerously tempting.I caught myself leaning in — actually leaning in — like some idiot waiting to be kissed.What the hell am I doing?This stranger — someone I’d barely met — stood way too close, one hand resting on my waist like we were old lovers. My stomach twisted, panic rising.“Too close,” I muttered, planting my hands on his chest and shoving him back — not too hard, but enough to make a point.He blinked, surprised, but didn’t move far. “Easy,” he said, voice low and steady. “I thought you wan

Kat's POVThe dull throb behind my eyes told me I’d slept too long. Blinking against the haze, I squinted at the figure standing by the bed. Noelle."Elle?" My voice came out hoarse.“You’ve been out cold all morning,” she said, tossing her barrel bag onto the bed. The faint scent of her perfume clung to the air — fresh, sweet, and unmistakably her.I groaned, rubbing my temples. “I must’ve needed it.”“Well, before I leave, I want to ask you something…” Noelle's voice turned sharp, her gaze narrowing.I knew what was coming."Why are you back so suddenly?"Here we go."He wasn't around when I got here," I said smoothly. "I called him, and he said he was going on a trip. Didn't leave a key behind, and apparently, the trip’s going to take longer than expected."Suspicion flickered across her face. "And all the time you two spoke the day before yesterday, he didn’t mention that?” Her brow arched. “Why am I not convinced?”I turned my head away, pretending to adjust my pillow.Noelle sigh

He's good with words.That thought kept ringing in my head, louder than the dull ache left behind by Noah’s betrayal. For a brief moment, I forgot the sting of it — forgot the way his lies had wrapped around me like a noose.I didn’t realize how tipsy I was until I stumbled down the hallway, my blurry eyes desperately scanning for the restroom sign. The walls seemed to tilt, and my heels scraped noisily against the floor. Somehow, I made it to the ladies' room, staggered inside, and barely managed to lock the door behind me.Relief flooded me as I emptied my bladder, hoping I was sobering up. But as I washed my face, cold water dripping down my chin, my vision still danced. I reached into my purse, fumbling for my handkerchief, and dabbed at my face.When I lifted my gaze to the mirror, I froze.A man stood beside me, his crooked smile twisting into something ugly.I blinked, convinced I was imagining things — a drunken hallucination. But when his icy fingers snatched my wrist, the col

Kat’s POVI woke up with a pounding headache, the kind that made my skull feel like it had been caught in a vice. My eyes fluttered open, blinking against the morning light filtering through a window I didn’t recognize. The room smelled faintly of cologne — warm, musky, and unfamiliar.I sat up, groaning as my head throbbed. Memories from last night slammed into me — the bar, the shots of sangria, bragging like an idiot about my high school drinking days.And then... the bathroom.My stomach twisted. That man — the one who tried to corner me. The one who almost...I shivered. Someone saved me. A man.I turned my head — and froze.My black lingerie hung over a nearby couch.Panic shot through me. Oh God. Had I slept with that man?I pressed my fingers to my temple, trying to push through the fog in my brain. Vague flashes flickered — giggling in the bathroom, staggering into the room, a man’s hands steadying me... then...Oh no.I bolted out of bed, my breath ragged. My purse was on the

The next day, I sat slumped in the cafeteria, my coffee mug barely warm between my hands.“She said, ‘Get out and never come back,’” I muttered.Noelle raised her brows and scoffed. “Like I care.” She leaned back in her chair with an exaggerated shrug.“You should,” I said. “We need the money.”Noelle shook her head. “I can always ask my parents.”I shot her a look. “Aren’t you a little too old for that? Gosh, you’ve gotta quit that ‘gig’ and get a real job.”Her eyes rolled skyward. “Yeah, sure. Because flipping burgers at Harry’s is such a career move.”I huffed in frustration and reached for my mug again. That’s when I saw them — two guys walking into the café.My gaze locked on one of them. Familiar brown hair, broad shoulders, and a confident stride that made my stomach churn. Memories came rushing back — heated whispers, tangled sheets, and a bitter morning after. My chest tightened.“Oh no,” I muttered.“You okay?” Noelle asked, noticing my stare. She turned to look — and gasped

"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
