As Daniel helped Kathryn back into her ward, he couldn’t help but smile, she had just saved his ass.. how lucky he was.“Thanks” he told her as he helped her lay on her couch, getting her to rest before calling the nurse using the emergency button by the bed.“It’s nothing, I’m going to do my best to win the bet” she told him and then winked before holding on to her stomach before lying down.“Would you really do so much just to win a bet?” He asked her“Of course I would. I want to show you that there’s more to being a mafia than drugs, guns and illegal deals “ she told him.He chuckled as he remebered what had brought about the whole bet with a smile on his face.FLASHBACK….. As Daniel sat in his office, he flipped through the pages of his files, staring at Kathryn at intervals before finally going to his laptop.“I know you’ve been staring at me, tell me, what’s wrong?” She asked him as she finally shut the laptop she had been watching a movie on.“No I’ve not” he told her, st
Kathryn rolled her eyes as she continued to stare at them, it just felt like they’d been sent after her, they’d been sent to ruin Daniel and her reputation.“So what if I’m dressed like this? Does it make a difference?” She asked as she looked at herself after turning.“Of course it does, look at how you’re dressed and you’re the assistant to such a man as Daniel Lopez and…”“Hold on, the last time I checked, I wasn’t clad in a mini skirt or a body hugging gown or anything inappropriate so why do you have a problem with my outfit?” She asked as she folded her hands against her chest.“That’s because you’re not dressed as an assistant. Any explanation for that?” One of the women asked and Kathryn rolled her eyes.“Kathryn let’s go. They just need something to cover for their page “ Daniel said and held on to Kathryn’s hand, dragging her towards the building. He’d had enough already and he wasn’t sure how long he could be able to control his anger for. He didn’t want to kill then and
Kathryn slowly felt her lips, what was that for.When Daniel realized that she was no more behind him, he stopped and turned to face her. “What’s wrong? Won’t you ckme with or are you suddenly not interested in being my assistant?” He asked teasingly as he smirked at her.She shook her head, “don’t give yourself any importance “ she told him before walking into out of the elevator.. As Daniel focused on his laptop, trying to create and edit the perfect presentation, Kathryn couldn’t help but stare at him. As she stared at him, she remebered the elevator scene and then touched her lips. Why was she so drawn to this? She asked herself as she continued to stare at him, for some reason, he just looked more handsome than he usually did.“What’s this feeling Kathryn?” She asked herself as she continued to stare at him and it just so happened that the more she stared at him, the more drawn she became to him. She sighed, what was this sudden feeling of attraction she was feeling? She
“You must be silly, I wasn’t lost in thoughts or anything “ Daniel told her as he got off his seat.“If you weren’t lost then tell me why you didn’t answer when I called?” She asked him as she walked to his front, preventing him from going away.“I just didn’t want to” he told her as he tried to divert his gaze from hers.“You just didn’t want to, oh really is that it?” She asked him as she chuckled. “Ok then, maybe when I start dreaming, I’ll also tell you I didn’t just want to talk to you” she told him before going back to her seat.“How’d you know I was dreaming about you?” He asked her as she made a sign with her hand that represented victory.“I knew it, you were daydreaming but about me? I didn’t know you were dreaming about me” she said with a smile on her face as she walked to him. “Tell me, what did you dream about me?” She asked with a smile. “Shoot!” He cursed as he slightly banged his hand on the desk. She was smiling again, that smile of hers did things to him, things
Kathryn smiled to herself as she stared at both cousins, she wished she had a cousin and looking at both cousins embrace theirselves, she felt inner peace.She was feeling cold, she had been in the rain for so long so she had to get changed.“I’ll be in the bathroom!” She told Daniel as she walked upstairs. Daniel clenched his fists as he pushed Louis away from himself. “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you just said but mind you, the next time you make such a filthy comment, trust me, you wouldn’t like what I would do to you” he told Louis and made to leave when Louis spoke again.“And what would you do to me Daniel? I like her, she is the kind of girl I like and as mafia brothers, shouldn’t we be able to share women?” Louis asked and Daniel immediately dragged him by the collar, anger all over him as he stared at his cousin with so much hate. Louis stared at Daniel in shock, he’d never seen Daniel so upset his entire life and now, Daniel had this much anger in his eyes and al
Louis smiled to himself as Kathryn wrapped the bandage around his wrist.“Are you feeling any better?” She asked him as she tucked her hair behind her ear which made him admire her even more.“Yes I am” he told her and she smiled before using a scissor to cut the rest of the bandage off and then taking the bandage to the cupboard.“Get some rest, you’ll be better soon “ she said as she poured him some water in a glass before handing it over to him with some painkillers.“Thanks” he told her with a smile as he took the painkillers.She inhaled deeply before going to sit beside him, “ I’m very sorry” she told him as she sighed“What are you sorry about? You didn’t do anything to me” he told her. He clearly knew what she was apologizing for but he wanted to converse with her, he wanted her to take very long time in the room so that when she came out, Daniel would be worried sick about what was happening in the room. She stared at him, she knew what he was trying to do, she was not bo
Kathryn sighed as she successfully tucked him in before walking out of the room. She went to the balcony as she put her hand on her chest, memories of how scared she had felt when she had walked into the house and seen him on the floor, unconscious.“Doctor!” She called as she saw the doctor walking into the house.“Where’s the patient?” The doctor asked and she led her into the room. “Could you wait outside? I’ll need to check him first” the doctor said and she shook her head in approval.“No problem “ she said as she stood outside the room, her hand on her chest.Why was she feeling so worried about Daniel? Why did she feel her heart come out of her chest the very moment she had seen him lying on the floor in a pool of blood? Louis stared from a corner, Kathryn hadn’t recalled that he was home so he was safe. It made him angry that Kathryn was this worried about Daniel. He wished she was worried about him but she wasn’t .“Why didn’t you die Daniel? Why did you live?” He asked an
Kathryn sat as she stared into thin air, she had to admit, it didn’t matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stay mad at Daniel for so long but then, what would have happened had he killed that man?Had Louis not being there to push Daniel off, the man would have probably being dead. What use was it speaking to him if he didn’t value the people she valued?She had taken a bullet for the man for goodness sake, didn’t it show him how important that man was to her? She could have died after being shot for that man but it didn’t matter to Daniel now did it? All he cared about was his name.She sighed, what was she to do? She couldn’t stay mad at him for so long but then, she had no choice. She had to show him that she wanted her opinion to be valued too. Luckily, he had gotten better and hence, didn’t need her help because she was sure she would have being broken by then.She tucked her hair behind her ear as she continued her work, the fact that she was his seductress didn’t mean she
