With the flower in her hands, she stared at him. It was such an awkward moment and she didn’t know how to feel about it. She took in a deep inhale. “Thank you, it really means a lot to me.” She told him with a smile and he took out his phone.“I need to go make a call, they’ll be hosting an event for this. We can’t just sit back and let them handle everything for us, we have got a lot of work to do.” He told her, and she nodded with a smile as he walked away.The moment he walked away, she stared at the flowers in her hand with a smile on her face. She placed them close to her heart. It really meant a lot to her, and with this, it felt like she was getting even more drawn to him. She took in a deep inhale, Daniel was such a good man, he just needed someone to show him who he really was.She was there, and she was going to make sure she showed him how good of a person he really was. She smiled to herself as she caressed the flowers, they were in every type there was and this made it ev
He wrapped his hands around her waist as she wrapped hers around his neck. Their lips were in perfect synchronicity, both enjoying the kiss like their lives depended on it. He slowly started to thrust his tongue into her mouth as he started to caress her back slowly.They were already laying on the floor, about to make out when suddenly, it started to rain. “Shoot!” Daniel cursed as they both got off the floor.“It’s raining!” Kathryn screamed in joy as the sky poured out upon them.Daniel stared at her, “what’s so exciting about the rain?” He asked her, and she chuckled as she got off the floor.“What’s not exciting about it? It’s so cool, and beautiful, and, I don’t know, it’s just perfect.” She told him, and he stared at her like she was some sort of weirdo as she twirled in the rain.Kathryn looked up, and before she knew it, Daniel carried her like a groom would carry his bride as they rushed into the house. “Hey, let me go, I want to dance in the rain!” She told him, but he di
He ran his fingers through his hair as he sat at the breakfast table, waiting for her to return but she didn’t. He sighed, maybe the call was really urgent. She wouldn’t have acted that way if it wasn’t.But then, what could he that urgent? He knew it definitely wasn’t about their work because no one would call her without going through him so what could have happened?He was still there, waiting for her when he recieved a call. It had to do with the tender that had just being approved and as such, he had to leave.He knocked at the door of her room. “Kathryn, I know you’re very busy but I’m off to work, I’ve got some things to finish.” He told her, and even though he didn’t get a response, he assumed she knew already.He walked away and got dressed. “Greetings, Mr Lopez. It’s so nice that you could finally make it.” One of the men said, and he smiled.“Of course, Mr Damian. Why wouldn’t I? This means a lot to me, and as such, I would have to be here.” Daniel said with a smile on h
He stared at her, shocked. What could have come over her now? “Kathryn, what’s wrong with you? What happened to you all of a sudden?” He asked her, and she chuckled/“What’s wrong with me? You should ask yourself that question, Daniel. Nothing is wrong with me. Perhaps the problem is from you. Have you thought about that yet?” She asked him, and he stepped back in shock.“How am I the problem?” He asked her. “You…” before he could finish talking to her, he recalled something.It had to be that call, she was fine earlier, and they had being smiling at each other. Everything was going very smoothly till that call came in.“Tell me, Kathryn. It’s that call, isn’t it? It’s because of the call that you recieved that you’re acting this way. Tell me, what did they say to you? Why are you acting like this?” He asked her, as he tried to place his hand on her shoulder but she pushed it off.“It’s not the call. You’re just worrying for something that you shouldn’t be worried about.” She told him
“Are you sure you didn’t see anything like her face? Just anything would do.” Daniel asked the man who held on to his bead.It was obvious that the man was telling the truth. He was trying so hard to recall if he had seen anything about the woman but he hadn’t. His head was aching too much to do so.“I’m so sorry, boss. It’s blank. I can’t seem to recall anything.” He said and Daniel clenched his fists.“It’s fine, don’t worry. I’ll find out the person responsible for this. I’ll make sure that the woman pays very dearly for it.” He decided and with that, clenched his fists.He loved Kathryn, and she didn’t even know yet she was taking undue advantage of his kindness. He couldn’t let her continue this way, it was way too annoying. She had being doing things that made him suspicious of her lately and now; she had gone as far as releasing the man who had strictly forbidden her from even seeing.He would make her pay for this, at all costs.He rushed out of the building and got into his c
“You’re joking, right? Kathryn, tell me this is a prank and that you don’t really mean what you’re saying to me now.” He told her, and she chuckled slightly.“I wish I could, Daniel, but maybe that’s the best thing for us to do right now. I don’t think I can continue to stay here. For now at least.” She told him as tears streamed down her cheeks.He stared at her, and she kept on looking behind her. He was confused, what could he wrong with her? Why was she always looking behind her now?“Are you trying to tell me something, Kathryn?” He asked her, and she rolled her eyes.“I’ve said all I need to say. I’ll go get packing now.” She told him, and turned to leave when he held on to her hand.“You can not just leave like that. Alright, give me a few days, I’ll convince you to stay. It’s because of me, right? I’m the reason you want to leave. I’ll change, I promise I will.” He told her, and this time, the tears streamed down her cheeks more uncontrollably.She wiped the tears as she turne
"What is wrong with you? Why are you acting so paranoid? It’s just a call." He told her as he moved back, making sure she didn’t reach the phone, and she stared at him angrily."It’s my phone; you didn’t get it for me, and as such, I don’t want your hands on it ever again. Got it?" She asked him angrily as she moved closer to him, trying to get her phone, but he wasn’t going to give it to her; he wouldn’t give it to her so easily."Who was on the call? Tell me, why are you acting so strangely all because of a call?" He asked her, and she rolled her eyes as she stared at him."It’s my phone, my life; you have no right to question me about it. Got it?" She asked him as she flipped her hair. "Now give me my phone." She told him, and he made her take it when he grabbed her by the waist, pulling her closer to himself as he whispered slowly into her ears."I won’t give it to you; make me." He told her, and that seductive voice made shivers run down her spine. She swallowed as she stared at
He fell to the bed at the thought of her seeing another man, and he buried his face in his hands as he closed his eyes. He swallowed as he went to the cupboard in the room, scanning through it with hopes that he would find something, but sadly, he didn’t find anything.He fell to the floor as he kicked against the cupboard in anger, and the moment he kicked against the cupboard, he injured his foot badly and limped in pain.He clenched his fists as he ran his fingers through his hair. What was wrong with Kathryn? This wasn’t the woman he fell in love with, so what was wrong with her now? Why was she suddenly acting like this toward him?It hurt him badly, so much so that he didn’t know what to do. He sighed as he grabbed the glass in the room, squeezing it tightly, and because of the pressure he was putting on the glass, it ended up hurting him and then shattering in his hands.He threw the pieces of shattered glass to the ground as he ran his fingers through his hair. "I thought we w
“Kathryn, are you sure you can do this? You’ve waited two years to see him, all this time, all you wanted is to have a happy life with him and Kathy, why are you leaving now? I have no problems if you’re happy, but Kathryn, think about yourself for once. You’re also a human.” Tanya said as they sat in the waiting area, waiting for their time of flight.“Mum, don’t worry about me, I’m very happy. Does it look like I’m sad? This is what we need. At least now, we know everything is fine. I know that he has forgiven me, Kathy is better now too. What else could we want?” She asked, and Tanya tucked her hair behind her ear as she smiled at Kathryn.“Your happiness. Kathryn, for two years, all you’ve being focused on is making us happy, me and Kathy, and I don’t think Kathy wants to be a burden on you forever.” Tanya said, and Kathryn chuckled.“Kathy and you will never be a burden to me because you two are very important to me.” She said, and Kathy raised her head from Kathryn’s laps as she
Days had passed since the surgery, and both Daniel and Kathy seemed to be doing well. More than anyone, Kathryn was happy, and that was because her daughter was better now, she wouldn’t have go through the same pain that her sister had gone through, and she also wouldn’t have to be separated from her.On the other hand, she was also very happy that after two years, she was finally forgiven by Daniel. It seemed like her life was falling into place, until one day, while she was busy with work, Kathy walked up to her.“Momma, are you busy?” She asked her, and Kathryn chuckled as she pulled her closer to herself.“Tell me, when have I ever being too busy for you?” She asked as she tucked her hair behind her ear, and Kathy chuckled as she stared at her.“I’m so sorry, momma, but I just have a quick question to ask.” She said, and Kathryn stared at her, tears streaming down her cheeks.She slowly wiped the tears that were now forming in her daughter’s eyes as she stared at her. “Kath, are y
“They found the both of you?” Daniel asked, shocked, but she chuckled.“No, it was some women. They had heard her screams while she delivered and they decided to help us, but then, after everything that had happened, I didn’t think I could trust anyone. I didn’t think I would be able to let those women help me, but then, Elma, she had a good heart, and she didn’t want the baby to die. She was already bleeding badly, and we had no choice but to go with the women.”“Don’t tell me they were part of the…”“No, they weren’t, but I never got to see my sister again.” She said as she smiled weakly, and he furrowed his eyebrows.“What happened to her?”.“Elma, you’ve got a beautiful baby here, she’s so cute.” Kathryn told her sister who was barely awake.Elma smiled weakly as she took a sixteen year old Kathryn’s hand in hers, rubbing it slowly as she smiled weakly. “She’s not my baby, Katrina. She’s yours.” She said, and Kathryn’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at her.“My baby? What do
His eyes widened in shock as he stared at her. “That’s a lie, you’re joking.” He told her, and she shook her head as she stared at him.“I’m not. My sister was already nine at the time, and it felt like her condition was just getting worse. Okay, you’re not my real parents, where are my real parents? I used to ask them, but no one answered me, they just kept making our lives a living nightmare, and looking at Elma, the sister who saved me many times, she was getting worse. It was like she could barely even talk, and that was when I made a decision, I needed to take my sister away from there.” She told him as she wiped her tears; and he stared at her.“Weren’t you just seven?” He asked her, and she nodded as she chuckled.“I was just seven, but I also couldn’t stand seeing my sister who’d given me life die slowly. We had nowhere to go, but one thing was certain: we couldn’t keep staying at that house. For months, we were on the run, barely surviving because we didn’t have any money or
She took in a deep inhale as she closed her eyes. “For years, I’ve kept this story to myself. I’ve never shared it with anyone but mum. It hurts me whenever I remember it, but maybe it’s time I said it because how would I heal when I know I still haven’t recovered from the past?” She spoke as she wiped her tears, and he stared at her.“What happened twenty years ago?” He asked her, and she closed her eyes as more tears streamed down her cheeks.“I was born to a very poor family, my parents barely owned anything, and my mother, she was a woman who worked very hard to provide for all of us. She made sure that the four of us, me, her, my dad, and my elder sister, Elma didn’t lack anything. She was a very busy woman, and since she had to work so much for her to fend for our needs, she was never home. She kept us in the custody of our father who didn’t have a job. His only job was to take care of us since she was the one doing all the work, but he couldn’t do that, and instead of actually
Seconds, minutes, and even hours had passed, and the light in the operating theatre still hadn’t gone off. Tanya held on to Kathryn as she patted her hair.“It’s going to be fine, the both of them will be fine.” She told her as she handed her a glass of water. “Here, have this, you haven’t eaten all day.” She told her, but she shook her head.“No mum. I don’t want to have it. Kathy and Daniel haven’t eaten all day too. Mum, my daughter is in there, and I don’t know how everything is going. Until I know they’re alright, I won’t be able to rest easy.” She said as tears streamed down her cheeks, and Tanya smiled as she pulled her to herself.“I’m telling you, everything is going to be fine, and trust me, Kathryn. Your life is going to get better from now on. I promise you.” She said, and Kathryn embraced her tightly.“I hope so, mum. I really do.” She said as tears streamed down her cheeks.While she embraced her mum, tears streaming down her cheeks, the lights in the operating theatre s
She wiped her tears as she shook her head, staring at him, shocked. “You? How did you know about…”“The day you left the meeting, I followed you. I have being keeping tabs on everything you’ve being doing, and the other day, I had myself tested to see if I was a match for her, and turns out, I was.” He told her, and she stared at him, shocked.“You’re willing to donate a kidney to her even after everything that I did to you?” She asked him, and he smiled as he moved closer to her.“I know the truth now, Kathryn. I know that whatever you did, you didn’t do it for money like I thought you had. You did it because you were a mother. You did it because you wanted to save your child.” He told her as he took her hand in his.The tears she was trying hide to fight in streamed down her cheeks more freely. “Daniel, I’m sorry, and I swear, for the rest of my life, I’ll be grateful to you for saving Kathryn. I’ll make it up to you, I…” he shook his head.“Kathryn, you might not have being the one
She rolled her eyes as she turned on the bed. “What see you doing here, Daniel? Didn’t I already say I’d get your files for you? Didn’t I tell you that my mum would….” Before she could even finish speaking, he cut her off.“We both know she’s not your birth mother, Kathryn, so stop…”“She doesn’t have to be the one who birthed me before she’s my mum. If she gave me life, if she stood by me and gave me a listening ear when no one else did, she’s more than worthy to be my mum. Daniel, I need to rest. Please leave.” She told him, and he chuckled.“For weeks, you’ve been doing your best to try and talk to me. You’ve being putting up with everything I’ve done to you, and now that I’m actually willing to listen to you, you don’t want to talk to me? How ironic.” He said, and at that moment, she could feel the tears start to well up in her eyes.She took in a deep inhale as she stared at him. “It’s like you said, Daniel. I’ve been throwing myself at you for weeks, but you didn’t listen, and n
“Daniel, relax. It’s not what you think. I…” before she could even finish speaking, he grabbed her by the hair as he stared at her.“How many more secrets are you going to keep from me, Kathryn? Tell me, how much more are you going to keep shocking me? How much more are you going to keep reminding me that I don’t seem to know anything about you? Just show me your true color, Kathryn. Stop being a camellion and show me the real you.” He told her, and she shook her head.“Daniel, at least listen to me, let me explain. I…”“Come on, explain. I want to hear everything. Maybe it’s time that I came to know the truth because I’m tired, I’m tired of getting hurt over and over again, because for some reason, I find out that I know nothing about the woman I love.” He told her, and tears started to stream down her cheeks on hearing him say those words to her.“So you still love me Afterall. Daniel, you…” he raised his hand, preventing her from completing her statements.“Let’s not even get start
