Kathleen paced her small-sized room at the quarters, what was she missing I'm this whole story, where would she start from? Well, Derek had mentioned that Stefan's mother was dead, who was that woman that posed as his mother the other day? She would start from there, she had to somehow clear her name, although, she was still partly to be blamed, she shouldn't have trusted Stefan's offer of friendship, if she had only listened to Derek, she wouldn't be in this mess right now, she had to pay that hospital a visit.
Kathleen entered the hospital and entered the fake mom's room, her eyes widened when she saw Kathleen, there was fear and panic in her eyes, " what are you doing here? She whispered to Kathleen, the same fear that Kathleen had seen in her eyes laced her voice."Why did you pose at Stefan's mom to me the other day?" Kathleen asked, not mincing words and the woman's eyes widened, she frowned uneasily, "I...I....don't know what you're talking about""I came hereKathleen prepared dinner that night, Derek had told the other maids to go on a break that Kathleen would handle everything, even Marcella had come down for dinner. Kathleen promptly set the table and served dinner, she was exhausted and needed her sleep, she had been alone in the kitchen preparing meals that multiple maids do prepare, it took longer than usual. Derek regarded her with a hooded expression as he took his place on the table, she promptly served him his meal, she got to Nicole and hesitated, it hurts her but she had no choice, ignoring the smirk on Nicole's face, she served her and made to leave."Where are you going?" Derek's voice stopped her"Er....to have some rest" his brow shot at her reply"You're not done here and you're about to have some rest?""Do you need anything?" She almost snapped at him, she was drained and almost at her wit's end but she refused to let him see that, it would only make him seem like he has the upper hand, of cause, h
Derek paced his room, agitated, his heart felt pained, he wanted to humiliate Kathleen, to make her feel so much pain but why does it seem like he was hurting himself instead, he felt pained when he saw her pained look as he sent her to bring the drink for Nicole and he felt flame of anger when Nicole had spilled that drink on her, he could no longer hold himself in check when he saw Nicole's hand raised to hit her, what was wrong with him? "Wake up Derek, she never loved you, she was just playing innocent and was with you because you're rich" he chided himself, he needed to visit the clubhouse, a little wining and dancing will do him good, he got dressed and came out from his room, he was at the foot of the stairs when Kathleen came out of nowhere and crashed into him, "what the..." He didn't have time to balance his weight and they both went crashing down.One minute Kathleen was running from the Terrance before anyone would see her, she didn't want Marcella to suspect that
Kathleen went into Marcella's room but couldn't find her, she heard the shower running and believed she must be in the shower, Derek's dad was sleeping, she frowned as she noticed how pale and unhealthy he looked and wondered what exactly was wrong with him, it seems to her that his medications were doing more harm than good to him and briefly wondered about the nature of his illness.She glanced around the room and sighted Marcella's phone on the table, heart pounding, she could hear the shower still running, she quickly grabbed the phone but to her dismay, it has a security lock on it, why would she lock her phone if she had nothing to hide, Kathleen tried a few passwords but couldn't access the phone, just as she was about to give up, a message popped up, it was short and straight to the point, she stared at the message for a while, it simply said: "We have to meet, Stefan." Her heart pounding, she had gotten the proof that she wanted, Marcella was indeed connected with the in
"what the hell are you doing in my room" Derek's voice thundered and Kathleen's eyes flew open, she must have fallen asleep while waiting for him to return. She glanced at him, he looked so breathtaking in his tuxedo and fresh, despite the fact he was coming in from outside, the breeze had blown his hair and a few locks fell on his face, she felt like jumping on him but she restrained herself given the fact that he was regarding her angrily. "Derek, I....." She started to say but he rudely cut her short with just a single word."Out" she gritted her teeth and stood her ground, he would have to hear her out."Are you deaf or you're just playing dumb, I said get out" he fumed"Not before I say what I have to say, Derek please hear me out" she pleaded and he looked at her icily."Have you thought of another lie you want to tell me?""No Derek, this isn't a lie, you have to believe me, I've never lied to you"Derek didn't say anything else as he simply star
Derek walked into the clubhouse, his heart was in so much pain, he was such a fool, he had badly wanted to believe that she was saying the truth, he wanted to believe anything that would make the pain in his heart go away, so he had chosen to follow her blindly, hoping that he sees proof that spells her Innocence, wasn't he laughable? She had deceived him, he had caught her red-handed with another man on their supposed matrimonial bed, had heard their plans on how they would swindle money from him and be together, what other proof of betrayal did he want? She killed their child in the process and he still found himself hoping there was an element of truth in her claim but as usual, all he got was lies, he stared at the Brandy that had been placed in front of him, not bothering to pour into a glass, he drank directly from the bottle and didn't stop until he drank at least half of it, he felt the drink hot his throat down his chest, he welcomed the heat, the scorching of the drink did
Derek rolled away from Kathleen as if she burned, the words "hello lover" ringing in his head, lying little slut, so she was still communicating with Stefan, he grabbed the phone from her hands and flung it across the room, it crashed on the wall and shattered on the floor.Kathleen paled, "Derek, I have no idea why he is calling, please, believe me"He held her jaw tight, "do you enjoy being a slut? You're here in my bed and was receiving a call from your lover"Kathleen flinched at his words, tears began to well up, he pushed her away from him looking at her with loathing"Why don't you believe that I am not lying?"In a flash, he grabbed her neck, it was obvious that he was restraining himself from hitting her, a vein appeared on his forehead and a muscle twitched in his jaw, "not another word, you're nothing but a whore" he smiled cruelly, "did you enjoy what just happened now? Of cause you did, seeing how you were moaning shamelessly, does he make you moan
Kathleen did not see Derek for the next two days, she busied herself with work, doing all the laundry and house chores, Stefan has not called again since that day. She soon finished with her work and to her dismay, there was nothing more to do, she desperately needed to keep herself busy, she saw Mary going out, she knew the maids doesn't go out except to shop for groceries, " are you going to shop for groceries?" Mary frowned at her before nodding, "why don't you have some rest, I'll do it instead"" You should be the one having some rest and not me, you've been working all day" Kathleen smiled sadly, " I'm fine Mary, I don't need to rest, give me the grocery list, okay, you can go in and have your rest"Mary looked at her, her gaze filled with doubt, "are you sure about this?"Kathleen nodded and Mary handed over the grocery list to her, " the way you're doing, you'll exert yourself with too much work, you're not supposed to be doing any of this in the first place".
Derek stood by the window facing the flower garden, his mother's garden, he had not stepped foot in it since her death, when he was a little boy, that was his favorite place, he spent most of his day in the garden with his mother picking flowers or tending to them, he always go there whenever he was confused about something, right now he was confused, his brow furrowed in a frown, after Stefan called Kathleen that morning, he had given instructions to one of his guard to watch her closely and report anything suspicious to him, he had wanted to find out first hand if she was still seeing Stefan, although, the guard had called him when he was driving home and informed him of her every move, he was curious as to why she would be the one to go for grocery shopping and decided to go there, he had arrived there just in time to overhear her little conversation with Stefan, her words echoed in his ears, "I'll prefer the devil himself than be with someone like you, you disgust me" she had sh
