Chapter 51

KatarinaAnger flared up inside of me the moment I came to realize the truth. How could Joanna blame me for something I was unaware of. Sure, everybody loved Kylan Anderson. He was the wealthiest man in town, he was a hot shot, and all the girls wanted to be with him. How on earth was I supposed to know that her feelings for him was more than that? I thought she was just like all the girls fanning over him, so how could she blame me for something that wasn't my fault? I hated her for this. If I had known that she genuinely loved Kylan, I definitely would have left him for her. I didn't love Kylan back then, and she knew this. She knew very well that I didn't want to marry Kylan, so why was she here acting like I had stolen him for myself? "You love Kylan?" I asked, I needed to be sure. "Congratulations, you figured it out." Joanna answered, her voice filled with unrestrained sarcasm. "Of course I loved Kylan! Everybody loved him, but you self centered bastard wanted to act like

Chapter 52

Kylan I was glad that I had picked up the phone, I wouldn't have been able to hear the lady ordering her men to move Katarina's unconscious body to their hideout at the city docks. Katarina was smart for calling me before she was knocked out, there was no telling what would have happened if she had not called on time. "Who the hell is this?!" One of the men before me questioned with an intimidating stare in his eyes. They weren't scared of me because I was yet to point my gun at them. I wanted to settle everything without involving violence, but after seeing what they'd tried to do to Katarina, I had become too angry to not involve violence anymore. Reaching into my pocket, I immediately pulled out a gun and aimed right at the lady beside me. She seemed to be the one giving orders, and I was certain they would not risk losing her. "Make one more move, and I'll blow her brains out." I threatened, my voice low and menacing. I meant every word I said, and it was very muc

Chapter 53

Katarina My life was ending in front of me and I could not do anything. It was draining already and I wanted to end everything and just give up at that moment. Kylan was unconscious on the ground, bleeding from every corner of his body, and the bastards who held me down, wasted no time in attempting to molest me. This was the end for me, it had become clear and I had given up on fighting it. The only man who knew where I was, was currently unconscious, and nobody else knew my whereabouts. I didn't fight them anymore, I couldn't cry even if I wanted to. My tears were all dried up, and currently I felt nothing but despair and hopelessness. Nothing felt right, and all I could do was stare with a blank expression on my face as things gradually got worse. Just then, Kylan began to move again. He had been unconscious a few seconds ago, but now he was moving once more, his eyes bright with determination. The light that once died in me was rekindled, and I immediately regained th

Chapter 54

Katarina Two other men immediately followed the lady into the room, and within minutes of appearance, Joanna's henchmen were immediately apprehended. I remained still where I was, unsure of what to do next. This lady might have taken care of Joanna, but there was no telling if she was an enemy or an ally. For all I know, she could be another lady who was obsessed with Kylan Anderson, and I didn't want to give her the feeling that I might have feelings for Kylan. While I was still stricken with shock and fear, I kept my eyes glued on Joanna's lifeless body. Never in my life did I assume that we would get to this point. I never imagined that the person I considered my best friend would ever try to kill me. Staring at her now, I had no idea how to feel. I didn't know if I should be sad, angry or relieved that she was gone. The emotions inside of me were conflicted, and I had no idea how to feel or what to do. I stood there, my mind a tumultuous sea of emotions. Everything tha

Chapter 55

Kylan I woke up with a splitting headache, my head was spinning, and my vision was blurry. My body felt numb , and I could barely gather my thoughts. Finally managing to sit upright, I recalled the thoughts of the past events, and only after glancing around did I come to realize that I was in the hospital. "Hospital? Katarina? Where is she, how is she doing?" I questioned myself verbally before attempting to rise from the hospital bed. I hadn't moved much when a nurse entered the room. At the sight of me, she raced out probably to get the doctors. I knew they wouldn't let me leave the room in this condition, so I returned to bed and settled down. I didn't want to cause any problems for them or myself. Minutes later, a doctor accompanied by the nurse that had entered the room earlier walked in. The doctor was a middle-aged man with a kind but serious demeanor. He seemed surprised to see me awake, but at the same time was relieved to see that I was doing well. "How are you fe

Chapter 56

Katarina It took a whole week before Kylan was finally discharged from the hospital. I didn't leave his side for a day, and Diana came to visit from time to time. He was getting a lot better, but was yet to make a full recovery. I rose from the bed earlier than usual to prepare breakfast before Kylan could wake up. It had become a daily schedule, one that I had been upholding for the past three days ever since Kylan's discharge from the hospital. He was against me waking up so early, but it couldn't be helped. He couldn't fend for himself well just yet, and I was the only one around who could help with the chores and cooking. I moved quietly through the house, not wanting to disturb Kylan. He wouldn't let me lift a finger the moment he wakes up, and I didn't want to start the day with an argument. Our relationship was already standing on thin ice, and I didn't want to let the rift between us grow any further. It took me half an hour to finish with everything, and Kylan was aw

Chapter 57

Katarina It was a quiet and exhausting flight back to Seattle. I slept throughout most of the flight, while Kylan remained awake, sorting our problems with work. By the time we alighted from the plane, Diana was already at the airport waiting to pick us up. I was glad with her punctuality, I might have lost my senses if I had to spend another hour or two waiting for her to come and pick us up. All of this weakness was probably coming from my anxiety, but whenever Kylan asked if I was alright, I would fake a smile and lie that I was fine. He had issues to deal with as well, and I didn't want to dump all of my trauma on him. The both of us had gone through the same ordeal, and he probably had it worse than me. "I'll get the bags, don't worry about it." Diana said before gesturing for me to go inside. She could see through my facade, and she knew damn well that I was more exhausted than ever. I thanked her with a bright smile before walking towards the mansion in front of me. I

Chapter 58

Kylan Katarina was right, perhaps I was taking things a little too seriously. I was yet to make a full recovery, and putting myself through too much stress was not advisable. However, there was a lot of work to be done. My problems seemed to be piling up every passing day, and I didn't want to wait until they became too much for me to handle at once. However, taking things slowly was probably the best thing to do at the moment. I was trying to solve everything at once, and it did nothing but disorient me even more. "I'll be leaving for the hospital soon, I want to see how my father is doing." I said to Katarina who was halfway asleep. It felt great seeing her calm and chill without losing her mind over the entire situation with Joanna. It had been a traumatizing experience, but I was glad that she was slowly getting over everything that had happened. "I'll come with you," Katarina suggested, but I quickly dismissed the conversation. What she needed now was rest, and it was ver

Chapter 59

Katarina Kylan was already awake by the time I opened my eyes. The air was chill, and everything seemed dull even though the sun was already up and shining outside. I didn't need an explanation to know that everything was the way it was because of Makayla's funeral. "Good morning.." I drawled out slowly to catch Kylan's attention. "Good morning." He replied with a smile, one that added a little life to the gloomy atmosphere. I got down from the bed and headed for the bathroom for a quick bath before joining Kylan outside. Even though the events of the day weren't a joyous one, he managed to keep a smile on his face to comfort me and make sure that I didn't feel uncomfortable in any way. After having breakfast, we both got ready for the funeral which was supposed to start by noon. The Anderson's had their own burial grounds, and everything was supposed to take place there. It took thirty minutes to get to the designated location. When we arrived, there was already a small cr

Chapter 60

Kylan Just when I thought things were getting better, another problem had spawned out of nowhere, and now I was caught up in the middle of everything. Even though I had expected that this matter would arise sooner or later, I did not expect it to escalate the way it did. Apparently Joanna had been part of a mafia group, and her family's company had been affiliated with this group as well. According to what Diana had told me, the mafia group she had been part of didn't believe that she had died from an ordinary robbery. They believed that she had been murdered, and now they had begun sniffing around for people who might be involved with her death. According to Diana, Katarina would definitely be one of their targets. Since she was Joanna's friend, it was impossible for her to not be a suspect. Chances were that they were already looking for her, and that meant that keeping her indoors and out of danger was paramount. They probably didn't know of her location at the moment, but the
