He wanted to call her.
He actually called her but before it could go through he hung up immediately and kept his phone on the table.
Catherine's words replayed over and over again and every single time he heard her voice in his head,he felt more miserable.
‘Georgie please book me a flight to Monaco,I want to leave tonight'.He said into the intercom and Georgie nodded from outside the office.
She wondered what he was going to do in Monaco for a while even though it wasn't her business and then realised something.
He used the word 𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 for the first time and even if it wasn't intentional she felt like she achieved something.
Landon Mikaelson never said please to anyone and that was a fact.

Willow's sharp cries woke Alice in the middle of the night for the third time in a row and she couldn't help but groan.Who knew taking care of a baby could be so hard?,she thought as she took the child in her arms and gave her a nipple to suck on.‘You really have his eyes but only more colorful'.She whispered as she reminisced Landon's dark blue gaze peering into her before he spilled his seed inside her sacred place.She quickly stopped herself and gave herself a silent warning not to think about the man who broke her heart and never even gave a hoot about her months afterwards.How could she possibly tell him about the baby?.How could she let him back into her life as Willow's father when he's proven countless times that he didn't want a family?.‘Looks like it's just going to be you and I Willow'.She whispered as Willow finally fell asleep and placed her
‘How could you?!'.Landon barged in just as Catherine opened the door reluctantly.‘What are you doing h—‘How could you Catherine?? How could you not tell me that Alice was pregnant?!!'.He yelled and she nipped her bottom lip.‘Who told you that?'.‘Who tol—Catherine are you being serious right now?'.He scoffed loudly and she dipped her hands into her pockets so as to get a grip of some sort.‘She didn't want me—us to tell you.She didn't want us to tell you'.She said and his eyes glazed with rage at the emphasis of the 𝑼𝒔 word.‘Who else knows?'.He asked instead with both hands on his hips as he stood akimbo.‘Only Lucas and her parents know,she didn't—‘I know we are not in the best of terms and you and Lucas clearly show how much you despise me,was this really fair Catherine?? Was it really fair on your part to not tell me
Landon waited patiently for Alice's call which she was never going to return and when he was sure of that,he dropped his phone and stepped into the shower.A loud gasp escaped his lips as the cold water trickled down his body and when he turned the shower off he shuddered lightly and wrapped a plush robe around his body.It was the same robe Alice usually wore in the morning when they were still staying in the same room.He didn't know how he noticed but he noticed.It still had her scent.Her strawberry rose scent which always notified him whenever she was near.He missed her terribly.He missed how she would always do funny things to get his attention and missed even though petty,how he would pretend to ignore her when he was interested in what she had to say.He missed how she would always be so friendly with the staffs and how they would lau
‘What is there to possibly talk about Landon?'.Alice asked when deep down she knew there was definitely a lot to talk about.‘First off,I'm sorry about how I treated you'.He stated and she couldn't help but act difficult and scoff loudly.‘Sorry isn't just going to cut it Landon.I'm pretty sure you wouldn't even give two hoots about me if you didn't know about the—‘I wanted to call Alice!'.‘But you didn't!! You didn't Landon and that's the whole point!!'.‘Come on in you two,it's going to rain any time soon now'.Grandma Lena came at the right time when the tension between them brewed and ushered them both inside the house.There was no way she was letting them leave without resolving their issues. &
A WEEK LATERCorazo valley was the most beautiful place Catherine had ever seen as she glanced around,the vast flower gardens ranging from primroses to red roses was so magnificent but what attracted her the most was the water fountain which had two dancing dolphins as a headpiece with water flowing out of their blowholes.The maids trooped out of the mansion and went straight for the bags without question just as another car rolled up the driveway and Alice came out.Fredrick came out from the driver's seat with a frown on his face as he glanced around and that surely proved he wasn't a man of nature.‘Couldn't this be done in a hotel or something?.I don't know why Mama Lena would want to do something like this,it's just heart-wrenching'.He nagged incessantly as he walked away and the two women chuckled.‘Pardon his manners,he hates anythi
‘Willow,where's Willow??'.Alice panicked the next morning as she scampered down the stairs looking disheveled.‘Relax,she's with Landon'.Lucas muttered as he walked past her clad in a Leopard print robe and a cup of coffee in his hands.She heaved a sigh of relief even though annoyed and then went into the study where Landon was and paused halfway as soon as she realized what he was doing.He was facing the window and reading Willow a passage from a children's book which was way too amusing not not laugh out loud.‘You do know she's till very young right?'.‘She hears me and I know it, sorry for taking her by the way,she was crying and i didn't want to wake you up'.He replied and her lashes fluttered in a way that intrigued him.It took him a while but he did later notice how her hair was in a loose bun and the rumpled robe she was wearing with the most ridicul
For the rest of the day Alice did a very good job in avoiding the man that made her belly churn but still later bumped into him on her way to the kitchen.‘Oof sorry'.She blurted out loud and when Landon saw how flushed her cheek was he knew something was up.‘What is that?'.His eyes lowered to the equipment in her hands and she gulped hard.‘It's uhh... it's uhhh....it's for Willow'.‘Really?? What is it used for??'.‘Uhhh i..I don't think you'd really want to—‘Alice I want to know'.He pressed further and after cussing under her breath she reluctantly showed him.‘It's a breast pump,it's used for pumping milk from my......you know what I mean'.She said and this time his cheek reddened with embarrassment.‘Ohhh I didn't know they made g
Luther O'Brien's eyes glimmered as soon as he spotted the beautiful woman coming out of the car who had beautiful legs and when he got a glimpse of her eyes he was immediately attracted to her.‘Ohhh please don't even say it'.The young brunette muttered as she sat next to her brother and handed him a jar of sunscreen.‘What do you mean??'.Luther asked even though he understood what she meant.‘You're going to say you've found the woman you want to marry and believe me it's preposterous'.She scoffed and he sighed deeply‘There's something intriguing about—‘You're a playboy Luther,it's the fifth woman you've talked about today but I won't lie......she is kind of hot and beautiful too'.She stopped him halfway and he chuckled loudly but when he turned around his mystery lady was gone.There was some
