She chuckled as she moved closer to him, trying to place her hand on him again, but this time he held on to her hand. She took a deep breath as she stared at him, tears streaming down her cheeks. "You don’t want me?" She asked him, and he shook his head as he gave a pained smile.If only she knew—if only she knew that he didn’t just want her but needed her—she would never ask this question. His body wanted him to do what she was doing. It wanted him to play along, but then his heart genuinely loved her, and he couldn’t bring himself to do this to her, not when she had this sadness in her eyes.They were both looking into each other's eyes, and they were lost in it. She smiled at him, and even though he was hurting her hand as he held it that way, even though he wasn’t doing it intentionally, he still was, but then, staring at him and looking into his eyes, she could feel the pain dissipating.She smiled as she stared at him. "Even I don’t know why I am so sad, but then you, without ev
As he lay on his bed to sleep, all he could think about was Kathryn. She was hiding a lot from him, and it hurt him to know this. He ran his fingers through his hair as he got off his bed. Where could she have gotten those injuries from? It was fine if she didn’t trust him enough to actually tell him things; he didn’t have a problem with it, but what he wasn’t fine with were those injuries.What sort of monster would do that to her? Whoever it was, they surely didn’t have any conscience to be willing to do something like that to her. He took a deep inhale. It was raining, and it was very cold.He knew he couldn’t go to sleep without making sure she was fine, but then she was in the rain, and from what he had come to know about her, she really loved being in the rain. He sighed, "I just hope whatever you’re hiding from me won’t ruin our friendship, Kathryn. I’ve gone through betrayal a lot in life, and it has even come from family. I won’t be able to take it if the woman I love also be
He shook his head. He wasn’t sure he had heard the doctor well. "Poisoning?" "Yes, poisoning. It’s not a major poisoning case, though, and it seems it’s meant to make her feel weak and make her recovery cells very weak. I did ask about her injuries, right? Well, I did so because they seemed to be very brutal and severe. She was injected, sir, and we found traces of it in her blood. Those injections are going to make her so weak, and hence, she will be unable to recover from the effects of her injuries." The doctor told him, and he stared at Kathryn.Who could it be that was doing all of this to her? Who was it that hated her so much that even after hurting and beating her up this badly, he still didn’t want her to recover? It had to be a monster; only one would be so evil that he wouldn’t want her to recover from it.He wiped the tears that he didn’t know had started to stream down his cheeks as he stared at her. "And the pneumonia? What do I do about that? It’s not severe, right?" H
"Kathryn!" He called as he looked around the house. Where could she have gone? She was not doing well; she had pneumonia, and it was still very cold around the country, so what could have been so urgent that she had to leave the house?He took his phone out as he tried to call her, but then it rang in the house, and at that moment, he realized that she hadn’t taken her phone with her.He ran his fingers through his hair as he continued to look around the mansion. Where could she have gone? Didn’t she know it was very dangerous for her to move around like that in the condition she was in?He sighed. Was she just naturally stubborn, or did she actually enjoy getting so sick?He sighed and rushed to the gateman. "Tell me, did Kathryn leave the house?" He asked the security guard, who nodded."Yes, sir, she did. She said you asked her to go get something, and as such, she left. She said she’d be back soon, though." He told him, and Daniel stared at him, unable to understand anything.Had
"There is something, Kathryn. Show it to me; I want to see it." He told her as he tried to take her hand out again, but then she refused."If you’re not going to help me, Daniel, trust me, I can help myself." She told him, and he stared at her.It seemed like as the days passed, he didn’t even know her anymore. With all the secrets she was keeping, he was beginning to doubt if he was actually even safe in his own house.She took a deep breath as she stared at him. "Daniel, I’m sorry, but it really hurts when I say something and you don’t believe me." She told him."I’m not doubting you; you’re just making yourself look suspicious. I just want to see what it is; I swear I have seen it before." He told her as he started struggling with her to see her hand, but then she wouldn’t let him see it so easily, and in the process of struggling with him, she hit her hand against the sink, and she cried out in pain."Ah!" She cried as she held on to her hand.She hadn’t recovered from the injury
"You’re joking, right? This is a joke; tell me you’re joking." He said this as he kicked against the table in anger."What reason do I have to lie to you? This is what I do for a living, Daniel. I find out these kinds of secrets. Tell me, why would I lie to you?" He asked him as he poured a glass of water for Daniel. "That woman doesn’t exist. Tell me, is she your colleague or employee? I could get to the bottom of things myself." The man said that, and at that moment, Daniel recalled something..FLASHBACK…"We’re taking a flight back home, Kathryn. We’re in a hurry." He told her, and she stared at him."Why do we have to? We came here by train, didn’t we? It’s only nice that we go back by train." She told him, and he chuckled."Let me guess, you’re thinking about the costs of planes again, aren’t you? Listen to me, I have the money; I can accommodate all my staff on a plane, so don’t worry, it’s not going to be expensive." He told her, and she shook her head."It’s not that, Daniel.
"Tell me, Eva. What was that? Why were you looking at him that way?" James asked her, and she crossed her legs in front of him as she tucked her hair behind her ear.She took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag as she started to smoke."There’s something about him; he is different from all the men I’ve ever met." She told him, and he chuckled as he took the seat opposite her."I hope it’s not what I’m thinking, because if it is, you’re just wasting your time. He is just a cool guy; these things don’t affect him. He is not the type for this." James told her, and she shook her head."He has got to be. He could even be a playboy; who knows?" She asked with a smile, and he shook his head."He’s not even a playboy. He used to be a don, but now he’s not. He is an honest businessman now. I wonder what changed him." James told her, and she shook her head."Don’t worry, I want him, and trust me, I’ll get him for myself. I have to get to work now; excuse me." She told him, and with that, she
As she limped out of the building, more tears streamed down her cheeks. She never thought it would get to this; she never thought that one day her deadlines would come so easily. She had thought that, like all the other ones she had done, finishing Daniel off would be so easy, but then it wasn’t.She wiped her tears, and just then, she spotted someone. "Martha?" She called, shocked, as she walked towards her."Tell me, what are you doing here?" She asked her, and she burst into laughter."What did you think? That we would let you stay in Daniel’s house without keeping a spy?" Martha asked, and her eyes widened in shock."You work for the godfather?" She asked, and Martha nodded."Yes, and I’m the one who reports every single thing you do to him. I…" Without even letting her speak even more, Kathryn gave her a slap across the face in anger."How dare you? How could you betray him like that? He gave you a job, Martha. He even let you stay in his house, and this is what you do to him?" S
