“Thank you Mr Diaz, we really look forward to working with you” Daniel said as he extended his hand for a shake and they shook hands.He smiled as he turned to Kathryn, staring at her as she smiled while waving the clients good bye. His heart warmed at this, was this how love felt? If it was, he didn’t want to stop loving her. He called out to her as he signaled for them to leave, they had already packed their bags and had it in the car. He couldn’t bear one more night in that hotel, they sure lacked ethics and he was afraid of what he would do to them if he stayed there any longer.He smiled as they walked into the car, Kathryn by his side. He couldn’t imagine what his stay at the hotel would have been like had she not being there by his side. She made even the worst plavesw look so good and he had never being happier to have her in his life..She smiled as she placed her head on his shoulder while he wrapped his master sized coat around her, it felt like at that point and for t
He sighed as he rolled on the bed, placing his hand to it and when he didn’t feel any one on the bed, his eyes shot blood open and he got off the bed quickly as he covered himself.He had barely gotten out of bed when he took a deep inhale and smiled at the scent of it, something was cooking downstairs, definitely. He stared at himself and smiled slightly as he remebered the things that transpired between himself and Kathryn the previous night. He ran his fingers through his hair even though he was not sure what she would think of him now but he knew she would he think so bad about him.He smiled as he remembered how she had shivered slightly under his touch, it made him feel so blissful. He quickly rushed to the cupboard as he took out a towel before going into the bathroom and freshening up..“Good morning” she greeted him with a smile as she placed the food on the table.Sadly, the door of the bathroom had gotten stuck and he couldn’t imagine himself calling out for her to help
“Daniel!” She called as she rushed after him.He sighed as he turned to her, “what is it?” He asked as he shrugged and she stared at him, she couldn’t believe this. He was suddenly acting strange with her and it was breaking her to the core.She swallowed as she stared at him, “why are you acting this way with me? Did I do anything wrong?” She asked him and he rolled his eyes before staring back at her.“Did I say you did?”“There’s no need to be so rude to me you know” she told him, expressing her utmost displeasure in the way and manner he spoke to her.He sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. “Leave me alone Kathryn, just please let me be” he told her and she battled to stop the tears from streaming down her cheeks.She couldn’t believe this, how could he have said those words to her. “I should let you be? What does that even mean?” She asked him and he grabbed her by the shoulders as he dug his fingers deep into her skin while she winced. On a normal day, things like th
She can’t believe this and she walks into the office to see some dust particles. She felt betrayed staring at the office and she couldn’t help but force her tears back in. She couldn’t cry, not for him at least. Angrily, she walked out of the office as she slammed the door shut behind her before walking away.“What’s wrong Kathryn? You…” before the colleague of hers could even complete her statement, Kathryn walked away.She scoffed as she watched Kathryn walked away.“I wonder what is wrong with her” she spoke to herself as she exhaled, it didn’t have to bother her now did it? As she placed her hand to her head, trying so hard to calm her nerves, one of the maids placed some fruits before her. “Here madam, this should help you relax “ the maid told her and she shook her head as she pushed it away slightly.“I’m so sorry mama but at the moment, I’m not in the mood for this” she said as she rested her head back.All through her ride back home, she couldn’t help but think of poss
She stared at him, shocked. How could he even say that to her? "Are you serious? How evil can I be? I should be asking you that question, Daniel, because last time I checked, it was you who had been lying to me and returned home injured. You know, nothing actually stops me from ignoring you and acting like I didn’t know you were injured, but guess what? I didn’t do that. I chose to still tend to your wounds, so please don’t be a jerk about it and let me help you." She told him, and he stared at her. She was right. He really was a jerk.He ran his fingers through his hair as he stared at her. He felt bad—extremely bad—that he had to say those things to her. "I’m so sorry, Kathryn. I didn’t really mean to say those things to you." He told her, and she rolled her eyes as she continued to tend to his wounds."Whether you meant to say those things to me or not, you still said them, and I won’t forget it." She told him as she continued to tend to his wounds, not even bothering to stare at h
She stood there, unable to believe what she had just heard from him. Did he really say those words to her? She fell to the floor as she burst into tears.She placed her head on the couch closer to her as she let the tears stream down her cheeks even more. She couldn’t believe it, after all the time they had spent together, she had been thinking they were friends, she had thought that after all those times that she had come to his rescue and he had come to hers, they had become even closer friends, but sadly, that wasn’t what he saw jt as.Apparently, he still saw her as the hit girl that had been hired to come kill him few months back, and even worse, he just saw her as the woman who was willing to do anything for mkney.She smiled as she wiped her tears slowly, maybe in all the time that had passed, he never saw her as anything more than the woman who he had paid hundred million dollars to make him fall for her.She tucked her hair behind her ear, despite all these thoughts running t
FEW DAYS LATER…In the days that came, after what Daniel had told Kathryn, even though she found it very hard to digest, she had no choice. In the end, whether she cried or chose to remain strong, the truth remained the truth, and that was the fact that the man she was starting to consider a best friend didn’t even see her as a friend.It was hard for her, but what could she do? She just had to take it like that. She sighed as she took the papers to his table. “Here, Mr. Lopez. These documents need your signature. Could you please sign them so I could pass them on for further evaluation?” She asked him, and he stared at her, confused.“Mr Lopez? What’s that supposed to mean? What happened to calling me Daniel?” He asked her, and she chuckled.“Mr Lopez, I’m sorry if at the onset, I had been rather unprofessional. I thought of things that weren’t even there, and honestly, I’m sorry about them. I have noticed that you don’t like it that I call you by your name, so I have decided to add
“Tell me, boss, what else would you like us to get for you?” A man asked as he stood before a man, who was seated.From how the man stretched his legs, it appeared that he was a very tall man, and he had a very pointed nose. He strike his chin as he stared at the man in front of him.He smirked slightly, continuing to stroke his chin, but then the man in front of him didn’t know what to say. He knew the man would definitely need something, but what he needed, he didn’t know.“Wine? Juice? A pack of cigarettes? What would you like sir?” He asked, and the man grabbed him by the neck as he pushed him to the wall, and when he stood, he appeared that he wasn’t just tall, he had an injured leg.With a gritted teeth, he strangled the man who didn’t even dare to struggle. When he saw that the man wasn’t struggling, he smirked, and then nodded. “Good boy, it’s good that you now understand the rules here.” He said, and with that, threw the man to the floor.The man who had just being pushed hel
“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
