21. HANDLING KEV

KATERINA"Shaving off his hair was a dick move, Kev. He was simply a messenger. All I asked was for you to deny him the job and send him off, telling him that you knew he was a spy and maybe threatening him a bit. Not this.." I kept eyeing the picture on the screen of my iPad, concerned about the whole thing.I heard Kelvin blow a breath, and I looked up to see him frowning deeply at me. "You are right. He was sent by your ex husband, which is why I sent him back to the messenger with a harmless warning. I did not even torture him or anything. I did not lay a hand on him other than while I was cutting his hair. It is just hair, Kat. It would grow back.""I am sensitive when it comes to hair, Kelvin. You of all people should know that. Everyday I wish I did not have to cut my hair or even dye it to a color that looks extremely foreign to me every time I look in the mirror. Do you know how depressed it gets sometimes? For this video in my phone, the man looks… dejected. It is not just h

22. HERE FOR KELVIN

KATERINA There was no way to press charges against Vincent as the whole thing was already too complicated. If there was, I would have pressed charges in a heartbeat, not that a man like Vincent could stay behind bars with how much influence he had. I sighed, turning off the engine of my car as I parked in front of his head company. Boldly written on the top of the magnificent skyscraper was a line, 'POWERS WINES'. I stared pointedly at the inscription for minutes until it turned to what I intended to see sometime from now. 'KAT WINES', inscribed on every single building that he currently owned. I allowed myself to dwell on that for some time before finally opening my car door and getting out. I reached the receptionist section and walked over to the young woman behind the desk. She looked really decent, nothing above 25. I bet she had an amazing love life too, one that I still could not boast of at my ripe age of 27. She smiled on seeing me approach her and it did not loo

23. OWEN STRIKES

VINCENT "What the hell do you mean you cannot let him go just yet? You have had your fun, brother. I got what I wanted. You tortured him for threatening me, and the girl could not pick him over her business here. That is all I need, now let the young man leave, Owen." I snapped, standing alone in the conference meeting where we had just finished a meeting. "Unfortunately, I am not done with him. I have unfinished business with the Montegos, and that includes that pretty heiress that you are up against. I have been stalking her for a hot minute. Only a matter of time before I get my hands on her, she looks like she would be a feisty one too, and I love me a good fighter." He laughed into the phone, and I could just hear James screaming into my ear repeatedly, an unhealthy amount of 'I told you so's,'. Maybe I should have been more upset about Owen hinting at keeping Katerina for himself, but somehow I could tell he was bluffing. He hated to show it, but my brother was a lover b

24. CLUBBING

VINCENTWe met at one of his many apartments, where the exchange would be done. I held Mae, Owen's soon-to-be baby mama's hand and we both walked to the building. I refused to go upstairs, rather deciding to just wait here to meet him.Owen was downstairs the next minute, stopping at some point to study us both.When he was finally downstairs, in front of us, he focused on Mae, saying, "I asked you to always leave the door locked. I have a spare key if I need to visit. Go through the back door if you hear anyone knock. What happened to all that, hmm? You really want to be killed?""You stopped coming to see me! Stopped taking my calls too, about a week ago. Forgive me if I did not expect you to call still, after ghosting me like that." She crossed her arms over her chest, her face set in a frown.Hmm, interesting.This was the first time I had seen a woman talk to Owen in such manner. It was the first time I had seen anyone talk to him like this. He had a soft spot for her, good for m

25. ‘DRUNK ENOUGH YET?’

KATERINA".. come to me when you are drunk enough." I repeated to myself in a mocking tone. "As if."I went back to resume sitting on the table I used to sit alone. I proceeded to get myself drink after drink afterwards, doing everything possible to ignore his presence and that of his bloody assistant; Mr Reeves.I was only here because I had been pressured by a new female business partner to come along to this club just to have some harmless drinks together, only to be dumped off at the entrance as soon as she saw a sneaky link like she had called him. From the way they had both interacted, though, I could tell that he was more than a sneaky link, but whatever rocked her boat, I thought to myself.She really just sighted him at the door and followed him out instantly, simply forgetting everything that had to do with girl code in that moment. We were not close and I so I had no business calling her back from that.I had been tempted to just turn around and go home.. call it a night fr

26. “LOOK AT ME”

KATERINA "I found out from a blog. Why didn't you just call me?" Kelvin asked, standing with me in the kitchen as I whipped up a cereal for myself. He had a bandage wrapped around his forehead area and another strapped across his shoulder, coupled with other bandages here and there. He saw the way my eyes kept analyzing his injuries and he exhaled a sharp breath, "Okay, maybe I would not have been able to save you from them with these injuries. But you should have at least called so I could take you home." I sighed, picking up the cereal bowl and walking towards him, then out of the kitchen. I heard him follow suit. "The thing is that I am back home now, Kev, saga and sound. Doesn't matter who brought me home now, does it?" "It does." He answered immediately, and I turned to shoot him a confused look over my shoulder, before taking a seat in the living room. "The man that brought you home and even played Superman for you in that club is the same man against my pain. He i

27. WHITE WINE

VINCENT"We actually got an invitation for this one. Her white wine tasting. She is really, really keen on being your ultimate rival. Doing everything to copy, and then eventually outdo you." James noted, sliding the invitation to me across the table.I just sat back against my chair, not bothering to check the letter. "The Maggie girl was not able to get the recipe yet?" I asked.He sighed, "It's hard. According to her, not everyone is allowed into the wine farm just like that. Of course, that Katerina girl would have tough safety measures put in place to protect any recipe from going out to just anyone.""Saw a couple of pictures from the conference which was held some days ago. Of Simon and Katerina. They looked like they were attached by the hip throughout the conference. I think I could put Simon to good use there. What do you think?" I asked, deciding to come up with another plan.James sighed, "Yeah, they looked pretty close. But no matter how close they are, that woman is sma

28. CHALLENGES

KATERINAThe more people filed out of the hall, the more my chest squeezed in pain.What went wrong?"I had tasted it. I tasted the damn samples before they were brought out. They tasted fine. Now they have a whole different taste. This was not what I approved to be brought out here." Kelvin ranted, practically barking orders at every employee he saw hanging around.He kept talking about firing every single person in the room, while I just stood there, trying to call back a few people before they walked out of the door, and watching others leave because they looked like they could snap my neck if I so much as said a word to them.In all these, I stood with my head still raised high, as pictures and videos were being taken from every angle. A few reporters even walked up to me and shoved their microphones against my lips, "Would you like to talk about what is happening here, ma'am? Some people have concluded that you tried to poison everyone who came here tonight. What do you have to

29. DANGEROUS RIDES

KATERINAWe got to the park by 5pm and I already had a smile on my face as soon as I alighted the car we had come with. I had changed into something more casual. A simple sundress and a pair of sunglasses with a pair of cute, pink sandals.I was makeup free now, seeing as we would just simply go home from here and I was putting on sunglasses too.I stood on the grass, wrapping my arms around my chest as I looked around. The park was not as noisy as it would have truly been if there were more children.Understandably, it was already late and they had school tomorrow.. most of them, at least. A boy and girl exchanging flowers a few inches from me caught my attention. They both looked like they could be three or four at most.The thoughts of the child I had lost flooded my mind again. I bit down on my bottom lip, watching them longingly. I had wanted that child so bad; he or she would have been the only blood-related family I would have left. But Vincent had his mistress take away the dr

30. CATCHING A COLD

VINCENTI had seen her exit the park after yelling at her lapdog, Sawyer, dressed in a short sundress and sandals with some sunglasses to complete the look. Simple, yet managing to catch my full attention. I went to the park occasionally for some charity business. It was why I had been there this evening. Imagine my surprise when I saw her there, having a good time with Sawyer, almost like she had gotten over her loss so quickly. I did not know what I was expecting when I saw her again, but it was definitely not a woman who laughed and played like there was only today left to live.I found myself staying there for longer than I had intended because of her. James , who had come with me was just glad that we got to stay a while longer, going off to find innocent women to chat with.I had just sent James a text that I was done here when I saw them in another corner, with some other people. James eventually came to me and with a huge on my face, I turned around and started to make my way
