Katie and Nora were on their way to the library. Katie’s mind was still swirling with emotions from the previous day’s events. She was trying to focus on her studies and forget about Andrew when he appeared out of nowhere. “Katie, I need to talk to you,” Andrew said, his tone serious. Katie’s eyes narrowed as she glared at him. “I’m not interested in anything you have to say, Andrew. Leave me alone.” But instead of leaving, Andrew grabbed her hand. Nora stepped forward, ready to defend her friend. “Let her go, Andrew. She doesn’t want to talk to you.” Andrew glanced at Nora, his expression hardening. “Stay out of this, Nora. This is between Katie and me.” Katie struggled to free her hand from his grip, but Andrew was stronger. He pulled her towards the gymnasium, where the cheerleading practice usually took place. Nora followed closely, but Andrew shut the door in her face, leaving her outside. Inside the gymnasium, Katie yanked her hand away from Andrew’s grasp. “What is wrong

Back at the gymnasium, Mandy watched Andrew carefully, noticing his distant look. "You’re thinking about her again, aren’t you?" she asked, her tone slightly accusing. Andrew snapped out of his thoughts, looking at Mandy. "No, I’m thinking about us," he lied, trying to reassure her. Mandy wasn’t convinced, but she decided to let it go for now. "Alright, but just remember, Andrew, I don’t want any competition." Andrew nodded, his mind still conflicted. He couldn’t admit to Mandy that Katie had somehow gotten under his skin. It would ruin everything. As the school day ended, Katie returned home, her mood somber. She went straight to her room, needing to escape from everything. She lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to make sense of her feelings. After a while Lillian called out to her to come down for dinner, Katie groaned and made her way downstairs, she sat at the dining table, absently pushing her food around her plate. Her mind was a whirlpool of confusion and an

Katie stood outside the school, waiting for Lillian. She scanned the parking lot, expecting to see her mother’s familiar car. Instead, she was surprised to see Marcella’s sleek, black sedan. Marcella waved at her, and Katie waved goodbye to Nora before making her way to the car. "Hi, Aunt Marcella," Katie greeted as she climbed into the passenger seat. "Hello, Katie," Marcella replied with a warm smile. "I thought we could spend some time together today." Katie nodded, feeling a bit apprehensive but curious. As Marcella started driving, they fell into an easy conversation. Marcella regaled Katie with stories of her college days in Paris, describing the charming streets, the exquisite food, and the vibrant culture. Katie found herself relaxing, enjoying the stories and the attention from her aunt. They stopped by a charming cupcakery shop and picked out an assortment of cupcakes. Katie couldn’t help but smile as they each took a bite of a delicious red velvet cupcake. Next, Marcell

Katie finished tucking Kat and Tristan into their beds, giving each a kiss on the forehead before softly closing their doors. She headed to her own room, looking forward to some peace and quiet. As she flicked on the light, she froze in shock. Andrew was sitting on her bed, casually flipping through one of her novels."What the hell are you doing here?" she hissed, quickly closing the door behind her to avoid waking her siblings or alerting her parents. "You need to leave before my parents see you."Andrew looked up, an amused smirk playing on his lips. "Nice to see you too, Katie," he said, leaning back against her pillows as if he belonged there.Katie stormed over, snatching the book from his hands. "Don't touch my stuff," she snapped.Andrew laughed, making himself more comfortable. "Relax, Katie. I came here to see you, I couldn't sleep. I keep thinking about you and the fact that you'll soon be my wife."Katie’s eyes widened in disbelief before she let out a sarcastic laugh. "Yo

Sebastian walked through the front door, his mind preoccupied with the usual work stress, but his heart heavy with worry about Katie. The second he entered, Lillian met him in the hallway, her face etched with concern."Honey, we seriously need to talk," she began, her voice barely concealing the anxiety, "Katie found out about the contract. Andrew told her everything."Sebastian's face fell. "What? How did he find out?"Lillian shook her head. "I don't know, but Katie won't talk to me. She didn't eat breakfast, and she refused to let me take her to school this morning. I knew something like this would happen. This is exactly why I was against that business contract."Sebastian sighed deeply, rubbing his temples. "I'll talk to her. We'll fix this."He walked upstairs, each step feeling heavier than the last. When he reached Katie's bedroom door, he knocked softly. "Katie, it's Dad. Can we talk?"There was no response. He knocked again, a little louder. Finally, the door opened a crack

Nora jogged to catch up with Katie, who was walking briskly down the hallway, her face flushed with frustration. "Katie, wait up!" Nora called, finally reaching her. "Hey, about Andrew standing up for you... I think it's kinda sweet."Katie's eyes flashed with annoyance. "What's the point, Nora? I just want to be left alone." She quickened her pace, trying to escape the conversation.As Katie continued down the hall, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. People were staring at her, more than usual. She had always managed to fly under the radar, blending into the background. But today, it felt like she was under a spotlight.She passed two girls standing by their lockers, who whispered something to each other and then shot her angry glares. Katie frowned, her heart beginning to pound with anxiety. When she finally reached her locker, the reason for the stares became painfully clear.A note was taped to her locker, written in bold, mocking letters: **"She's married to A

Sebastian and Lillian sat in the Turner’s opulent living room, the tension palpable as they broached the sensitive subject. Mr. Turner, a tall man with a stern face, leaned back in his chair, while Mrs. Turner, a refined woman with a composed demeanor, sat beside him, her hands folded neatly in her lap.Sebastian took a deep breath, glancing at Lillian for support. "We need to discuss the business contract between Katie and Andrew," he began. "Katie found out about it from Andrew, and she's not taking it well. She won't talk to us, and we need to figure out a way to handle this situation. Is there any possibility of terminating the contract?"Mr. Turner sighed deeply, his expression unyielding. "The contract is still fresh. Terminating it would mean losing twice the profit according to the agreement. Our companies would suffer significant losses. I understand your concern, but this contract is binding."Lillian's eyes were pleading as she leaned forward. "But Katie is against it, we t

As Andrew and Katie sat side by side on the front steps, the evening air cool and crisp, they found themselves talking more openly than they ever had before. The tension that had filled the dinner conversation began to dissipate, replaced by a tentative curiosity about each other.Andrew turned to Katie, his expression earnest. "You know, Katie, apart from the contract, I don’t see it as such a bad thing, getting married to someone like you. You’re cute, smart, and pretty amazing."Katie laughed, a light sound that eased the remaining tension between them. "You think I’m cute? Really? Coming from the guy who’s been mean to me since day one?"Andrew shrugged, a sheepish smile on his face. "I know I’ve been a jerk, and I’m sorry about that. The truth is, I liked you from the start, but I didn’t want to show it. You’re different from the other girls I’ve met, and I didn’t know how to handle it. So, I ended up acting like an idiot."Katie’s smile softened. "I thought you hated me. The fir
