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 climbing up to his apartment.." "I'm happy you've arrived. Make sure you eat and take your pills. I put some in your handbag, hm?." My best friend Noelle said and I sighed."You're such a sweetheart, Noelle." I said, smiling. When I looked up at the front door, I said, "Okay, I have got to go. Take care of yourself." I ended the call and knocked lightly on the door. I was surprised to see his door creaking open. How could he make such a mistake, huh? I grabbed the doorknob and pushed my bag in. I was met with a bra hanging on the cushion, a woman's bag on the couch, and a man's tie at the edge of his stairs. Okay, what's going on? I remembered yesterday that we spoke, and he didn't mention his sister coming back from London. As I walked up the stairs, I could hear a loud moaning from his room. I followed the trail of littered clothes on the stairs to Noah's room. I slowly opened the room and what hit me next made my mouth hang. No
He was absolutely breathtaking, he was quite large, looking almost comical in the tiny space in the toilet. His muscles strained against his black shirt and blue jeans, telling me that he must spend quite a lot in the gym. He had chocolate brown hair, and dark blue eyes that drew me in and a jaw that could cut through paper. His lips were luscious and full, and I found myself unconsciously leaning in, imagining what my lips would feel like in his.And then it clicked instantly, a stranger I just met a few minutes ago was holding me from behind like we were lovers. I pushed him away, not too hard, and walked off the toilet embarrassedly. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god." I said to myself when I got back to my seat. I placed my hands on my face to try to cool down my burning cheeks,What was I thinking? A few minutes back, I was sulking over my boyfriend's betrayal and here I am, letting another man touch me. I shut my eyes and growled deeply, trying to push out the thought that I had
I woke up with a slight headache and blearily stared blankly at the female figure in front of me. I knew right away it was Noelle. "Elle," I mumbled.The sweet fragrance coming from her made me scrutinize her very well. She was putting on a blue jumpsuit and her blue barrel bag was on top of the bed. "Before I leave the house, I want to ask you a few questions…" She started, and I knew what she wanted to say, I shook my head at her to continue."Why are you back suddenly?" Oops, here we go."He wasn't around when I came. I called, and he said he was going on a trip. He didn't leave a key behind, and he said the trip was going to take longer than expected." I lied smoothly. She pouted her lips, not believing me, "And all the time you both spoke the day before yesterday, he didn't tell you?." She asked, looking at me skeptically. "Why am I not convinced?." She questioned me. I swallowed a big lump of spit and turned to the other side. I heard her stand up to her feet, "I won't push
He's good with words. It kept resounding in my mind. For a minute, it made me forget Noah's betrayal. I didn't know I was this tipsy until I found myself staggering into the toilet, with my eyes blurrily searching for the toilet. I was able to get into the female bathroom and pee the drink into the toilet. I flushed and staggered to the front mirror to check myself out. I slid the tap and squashed water onto my face. I opened my purse and took out my hankie to dab my face. When I looked up, I saw a man standing beside me with an ugly smile in the mirror. My eyes were twitching to see if I wasn't hallucinating. It was when his cold hands grabbed me from behind that I struggled and was able to push him off me. Even in my drunk state, I could notice he was drunk too. I watched him stand up to his feet and dash towards me. I weakly tried to shove him off, but he was damn strong. He gripped me from behind and pushed me to the wall, tracing kisses over my body. I yelped, disgusted at the
I woke up with a terrible hangover. I was on a bed, in an unfamiliar room. I sat up on the bed, groaning with a severe tumbling in my head. Everything that happened on the last day suddenly came flooding back to me. The bar, drinking with a guy, excessively bragging about how I drank in high school, and stupidly consuming the six shots of sangria. In the toilet, the way that man almost raped me, gosh…someone tried to rape me, yeah…a guy saved me. I looked around and gasped when I saw my black lingerie dangling over a couch. I panicked for a second. Oh God! Had I slept with that man? Oh my God. Then it hit me, staggering over that door and popping my head into his bathroom, and giggling like an idiot. What other stupid things have I done with this man?My purse was beside my underthings and my dress was on top of the couch. It almost choked me, I couldn't remember it all. I didn't want to see more, only my mind was doing things right now. Showering, touching, kisses. I had sex with h
...........Next Day."She said, get out and never come back," I replied. Noelle raised her brows and scoffed. "Like I care, huh." She said and I shrugged. We were huddled at our table in the cafeteria. I had gone to my workplace and was shocked when Mrs. Marcel wouldn't let me back after all my pleas to continue. I sipped my coffee and dropped the mug on the table. "We need the money, you know." She shook her head. "I can always ask my parents", she responded."Aren't you big for that? Gosh!, you got to quit that gig and start a reasonable job." I said and she rolled her eyes at me. I huffed and looked up. Two cute guys walked into the café and my memory recoiled at the familiar brown hair and body-built statue. My eyes widened when I remembered him, and I gasped. "Are you okay? Is everything fine?" Noelle asked and looked back. She gasped and turned to look at me. "They're fucking handsome." She squealed. I hit her on her arm and she winced, "Oww!! What's that for?""Stop dro

"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
