He was still deeply offended about the marriage, unhappy with how things had turned out, and particularly angry with his mother who was still angry at Katherine.The attitude his mother who had coerced Katherine into the union put up after discovering that the groom was handsome.With the dishes washed, Rita ascended the stairs and paused at Celeb's bedroom door.

Rita paced back and forth in her living room, her heart heavy with worry, she haven spoken to Vivian ever since she asked her to come home with her boyfriend.Vivian has ignored her call the last time she tried calling, and Celeb who she told Marcus address since he asked her, didn't bring any report to her.With trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed Vivian's number, praying for her to answer, at least now that the wedding was over and Jonas has decided to open the boutique for her.After a few rings, the call connected, and Vivian's voice came through the line, filled with a mixture of surprise and hesitation."Vivian…" Rita's voice trembled with concern as she struggled to find the right words."Mom?

Vivian stood in the doorway of her family's apartment, a mix of anticipation and trepidation coursing through her veins. She had returned home, hoping to find her loved ones waiting for her with open arms. However, the sight that greeted her was an empty and silent space, void of the familiar presence she had longed for.Her heart sank, a wave of sadness washing over her. Where were Celeb and father? Why weren't they here to welcome me home? Doubts and worries began to cloud her mind, threatening to overshadow her joy at being reunited with her family.Just as despair started to creep into her soul, Rita, emerged from the kitchen, her face adorned with a gentle smile.

Katherine slowly opened her eyes, the morning light gently filtering through the curtains. As her vision cleared, she saw Alexander already dressed in well-tailored suit, sitting on the couch with a magazine in his hand. His stoic expression seemed impenetrable, yet there was a subtle radiance about him that captivated her.A smile formed on Katherine's lips as she recalled the previous day agreement, how he agreed to go on a tour with her.She couldn't help but admire Alexander, even in his indifference. His presence commanded attention, and there was a quiet strength that drew her to him.Katherine hurriedly made her way to the bathroom, her mind raced with self-directed frustration. She cursed herself for losing track of time the night before, knowing that her late-night reading and tour preparations had led to her waking up late. In that moment, she berated herself for squandering precious moments of their limited time together in Paris.The weight of her desire to make the most
Paris has been one of the best places Katherine wished to come to, be it for a vacation, or just schooling, but things didn’t work out as she has planned, she has heard lots of rumors about this place, but actually seeing it gives off a whole new vibes.Paris, the city of love, had always held a certain allure for Katherine, its cobblestone streets, charming café, and iconic landmarks whispered promises of romance and enchantment.She has always wanted to come here with a man she loves, precisely Carlos, she had even envisioned stolen kisses beneath the Eiffel Tower with him, walking hand-in-hand strolling along the Seine with him, it was a great dream, but it never crossed her mind that it would be with this stoic and cold man.However, reality proved to be far less dreamlike than she had anticipated, she was with her husband, but it seem like she wasn’t, it was after all going to be another cold walk again.Katherine glanced at Alexander who sat next to her in the backseat of the fl
Katherine's eyes sparkled as she looked upon the Pont Neuf, the oldest standing bridge in Paris. She took out her cell phone to take pictures of herself, after a few selfie, she glanced at them and pouts her lips.A full body picture will be nice, it’s such an awesome sight. She turned to ask Alexander to take a shoot of her, but when she turned to share her thoughts, she found him engrossed in his phone, oblivious to the breathtaking view before him.A mixture of frustration and sadness tugged at Katherine's heart.
