“Momma?” A little girl called as she rushed to Kathryn who immediately wiped her tears as the sight of the little girl.“Kathy.” Kathryn called as she embraced the little girl, slowly tucking her hair behind her ear as she planted kisses all over her. “How was school? I didn’t know you’d be back so soon.” She told her as she embraced her, and the little girl cupped her face as she stared at her.“Momma, tell me. Is everything alright? You don’t look well. Tell me, were you watching another of his interviews?” Kath asked, and Kathryn raised her head to see the woman folding her hands and staring at her.She chuckled as she cupped Kathy’s face. “Tell me, what did you grandma treat you to on your way back from school? You had a lot of fun, didn’t you?” She asked her with a smile on her face, and the little girl shook her head she took off her bag.“You can’t evade it this time, momma. Tell me, why do you keep crying everytime you watch his interview? Why do you even watch it? He is such
“Momma, tell me, we’re going to leave here soon, right?” Kathy asked Kathryn who was busy unpacking their things and she chuckled as she carried the little girl in her arms.“Tell me, Kathy. Don’t you want to spend time with momma?” She asked her as she tucked her hair behind her ear, and she smiled as she wrapped her hands around Kathryn’s neck.“Momma, you know that after all the time I was away from you, I want to spend all the time in the world with you. Don’t forget, you’re the one I love most in the world and whenever we come on these trips, you’re always so busy. I want all your time, momma.” She said, and Kathryn chuckled as she placed her on the bed.“Baby, trust me, you have all my love. You and granny; I love you both so much , and don’t worry, momma is just doing this so you can lead a comfortable life. Do you want to live like you did all those years?” She asked and Kathy shook her head as she stared at her.“No, not ever. Momma, I don’t ever want to go back to that life.
“Oh, do you know him?” One of the board members asked her after the file fell out of her hand, and she chuckled nervously as she shook her head.“No, I don’t. Maybe the file just fell out of my hand.” She said, nervously as she bent to pick the files. She took in a deep inhale as she got back up.She clenched her fists, “you can do this, Kathryn. You were doing well before he came in, don’t let this ruin you, you have to keep going, for Tanya mum and Kathy.” She told herself with a smile, and with that, continued her presentation.“That’s wonderful, what do you think? How about you lower the borders of the net worth, that’ll make it easier to access, don’t you think?” One of the hoard members asked, and she chuckled as she placed the file on the desk, taking her system out as she showed them a display.“Of course, I’ve thought about that already. I already thought of reducing it even though slightly, but it won’t favor either of us because come to think of it, this is high class produ
Seeing her in the meeting room just made him feel strange. He didn’t know how to feel, was he to feel happy that he was seeing her again after so long? Was he to feel happy that she was alive when he thought she was dead? Was he to feel angry that he would have to work hand in hand with her? Different thoughts filled his mind, and at that moment, it felt like all the hatred he was trying to build up for all those years was slowly disappearing. He clenched his fists tight, never, he would never let it happen. She had wronged him, and he would never forgive her for it.While she did her presentation, he was doing his very best to avoid staring at her. He was doing his very best not to look her way, but it seemed like the hardest thing in the world to do. He clenched his fists, what if she tried to talk to him after the meeting, what would happen then?He shook his head, she wouldn’t. She knew he hated her a lot, and he didn’t know if she had seen his interviews, but after the last ti
She rushed outside to find him, but she didn’t see him anywhere, and at that moment, she realized that his interviews weren’t fake, he really hated women, ones named Kathryn mostly.She wiped her tears as she walked to the car where Tanya had being waiting for her. “What took you so long?” Tanya asked her as she shut the door.She swallowed, “I’m so sorry, mum. I got caught up in something.” She said as she wiped her tears.As it was, Tanya was already very worried about her. The last thing she wanted now was to stress her even more. She took in a deep inhale as she turned to the driver. “Come on, let’s go.” She said, and just as the driver started the car, Tanya stretched her hand.“Where’s the file?” She asked, and at that moment, she realized that she didn’t bring the file with her.“Oh, I’m so sorry mum, I…”“Are you sure you’re fine? You took so long and you didn’t bring the file with you. Kathryn, talk to me. Is everything fine?” She asked her, and Kathryn nodded.“Don’t worry,
“Momma, tell me something.” Kathy said as she laid on the same bed as Kathryn.“Sure, what is it, baby?” Kathryn asked with a smile as she patted the little girl’s hair.Kathy smiled as she raised her head to stare at Kathryn. “Why do you love me so much?” She asked, and Kathryn chuckled as she stared at her.“What do you mean by that?” She asked, and Kathy sat upright on the bed as she took Kathryn’s hand in hers.“I’ve seen children who are maltreated by their parents, but you, if I’m to cough right now, you’re going to be unwell for the rest of the day, and that’s proof of how much you love me. Tell me, momma. Why?” She asked, and Kathryn chuckled as she carried the little girl in her arms.“Tell me, what did you just call me?” She asked, a smile on her face.“What do you mean?”“I mean, what am I to you?” She asked her, and Kathy chucked.“You’re my momma, and my best friend too.” She said, and at that moment, Kathryn cupped her face as she stared at her.“Exactly. So tell me, why
“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
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
