Chapter 45Kate's POV"Who is your father? Is that why you came here?" I winced at the question, not wanting to delve into painful memories. "I don't want to talk about it. Let's forget about it," I abruptly cut the conversation short, desperately needing some rest. I lay down silencing myself.Packer seemed even more worn-out than I were, trying to steal glances at me surreptitiously. Our eyes would meet, and then he would hastily divert his gaze to his tablet, pretending he wasn't watching me. Before I knew it, exhaustion overtook me, and I drifted off into sleep.NY City. Matt's Mansion----------------------The next morning, I found myself back in Matt's mansion; the new room he gave me. As I pondered on the events of the previous day, I couldn't believe I had been rescued. My life had taken an unexpected turn, all because of my own troubles. Lost in thought, a loud pounding on the door startled me. "Come in," I called out. It was none other than Matt, with his striking grey-dye
CHAPTER 1SUPER COLD HEARTPrologue:—-------------After the untimely death of Senior Coleman (Matt's father), his WILL became a problem and doubted. It needed thorough investigations due to the amount of wealth; hence, his family needed people in higher power and authority to transfer it to its rightful successor. When wicked Catherine (Matt's stepmother) told her greedy politician friend who had heard about the problem already, he asked Matt to marry his daughter, Angela before he would help them. He does that to have access to the extreme and extravagant wealth left for Matt.At The Court------------"Would you let him marry my daughter as we discussed?" The politician whispered in her ear after he drew her aside when they arrived at the court. "I'm doing this because I want our relationship to move to a whole new level, Cathrine." He lied, he had other intentions. "Sure, I agree. Your beautiful daughter is a perfect match for my son." Catherine agreed.In the courtroom, Matt,
Chapter 2 SPY ON HIM"Who are you?" I turned to look at the old woman and asked. Her dress was just like what I'd seen on television. I had never set my eyes on one physically. She looked at me as I was on the floor. "Catherine!!" Matt yelled looking surprised and naive. "I will need to talk to you right after this session." She looked down and whispered to me. "What are you doing here!?" Matt asked."I…Sir…no…Matt…" I trembled again as I tried to answer. "I'm not talking to you Kate, I mean Cathrine." He intervened and signaled me to get my ass off the floor. Angela ran to hug Catherine and cried. She was old enough to cry that way. Tears fell profusely as she could not control them. Immediately her eyes met mine, I looked in a different. "You've changed Matt, I didn't bring you up this way. This is a disgrace," She said and patted Angela. "You call me by my name, you ask me what I want in your house and you make your wife cry. Who does that, Matt Coleman?"All this while, I di
Chapter 3 Mother caused me painMatt's Pov:—------------"Why the sudden care and love, Mom? I know you. I know how you brought me up, the pain you caused me when I came to stay with you in that house and Now, after my father died, you intend to love me??" I sobered and hit my hand against the table causing other maids to look at me. "That's the mistake I want to clean, Matt, I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was doing all these years. That's why I want you to marry Angela, she's a good woman and wouldn't do that to your children. Come on, Matt." She also cried, "Come on, finish up your breakfast, and let's talk outside." She continued and went out. I could hear her crying harder. I had never seen her this way. Not even when my father died. She brought me up the hard way. I remembered when her son went to school, I stayed in the house. I walked into my room and banged the door loudly."She never let me play with her son, my stepbrother. He also didn't want to play with me. I managed
Chapter 4-Fired again?Kate's POV:—--------------"I'm here. I guess everything is alright?" Headmaid asked. I banged into her room and searched for my bag."My bag, I have her drugs are in there. I need to return them to the hospital as soon as possible. The doctors want to see them," I explained as much as I could. "Here!" She stretched her hand and handed it to me, "Take this, my dear, you might need some money as well."'Wow, I didn't expect that.' I thought. "Just keep it, you can pay it back when you receive your salary. I have enough on me now," she opened my palm and tabbed the money in it. "Now, run, don't forget to use the exit I showed you.""Where's master? Has he looked for me?" I curiously asked to secure my job."No! Nope! Not at all. He has gone out with his visitor, you know what, just go. I got you covered." She pushed me out. I wished I met the same good samaritan who had dropped me off earlier. I just can't run; I wish I could. I tried my best to jog but to no
Chapter 5MATT'S POV:—---------I didn't want to repeat my words. Those tears boiled my blood and I was getting even angrier. "Do you need to pick something before you get out!?" I inquired of her as she stood trembling. "You know the rules and decided to break them on your first day with me. Do you think that's perfectly splendid, silly? You are not the first person to have consented to this glory, it's not not nice working with you." I concluded with good remarks and rhetorical questions. "I…am…so sorry, I can't go back alone. It's late." She pleaded as her tears wouldn't stop streaming down her poor face. I smirked and banged the door as loudly as I could, leaving her outside to the mercies of the weather. I thought she was sorry for something better, but she was rather pleading because it was late and can't go alone. 'That is not my business.'"And for you, employ better maids next time and desist from letting them face my wrath!" I warned Patricia, the Head maid, and walked s
Chapter 6Is that you, Kate?"Angela, I should be asking you that dumb question!" I exclaimed and pushed her back. Her red lipstick had been painted all over my face and shirt. It seems she was turned and was ready to let me f*ck her for free but nope, no sex with Angela. I had already promised myself not to do that."Hey, you know it won't work. I've tried harder but I'm sorry, I can't love you. Please let go of me before I lose my demonic temper on you." I advised her gently. The drink had taken effect on me and I was falling for it but not Angela. "Hey, Kate, listen... No Angels, don't come close to me. Pick that bottle for me, it will do me more good than you do. It holds interesting stories, just walk out with yours." I felt a bit tipsy, words just found their way out as soon as they came to mind. "Help yourself with it, or, get your filthy Kate to get it for you." She spewed, dressed up, and walked out as I wished. Angela was so cold-hearted. She loses her temper so easily and I
Chapter 7Reds and Blacks"Look, I'm…I…just let me go home, please. I promise not to come here again," she pleaded. The polythene bag containing the food swung behind her as she crossed one hand against the other at her back. "Look, I need you to do me a favor," I requested in return to let her go free. "What should I do for you, please?""Good! Wait and see," I promised and made a call."Hello, Antonio, track me."Within a few seconds, he appeared like a ghost. "Antonio, take her to the boutique, get her a nice red dress, take her home to get clean, and let her dress up. I need this to be done in twenty minutes," I commanded and wished noticing the time wasn't enough! Her blonde hair was very attractive and I think she didn't need to waste much time on it. Antonio adjusted his hat, got his tall body to the entrance, and signaled her to follow him but she didn't move an inch. "Do you want someone to see you this way? I guess I call someone else," she started walking towards us.
