KATHERINEWasn’t this supposed to be a family gathering to celebrate her mother’s birthday? So, why was Alexander here? Did Katie leave something out of the invitation before inviting me?Today was supposed to be my happiest day because I would be free from him and wouldn’t have to see his face, but I was mistaken; today just happened to be the worst day.He hasn’t given me a moment’s rest since accepting to be his. He told Katie that we were dating, and Katie congratulated me thinking I was following the plan. I hadn’t had the opportunity to fill her in because she was called home to prepare for today.Receiving death stares from his maniacs wasn’t enough, I had to be interrupted every minute by a knock on my door from him constantly asking me to let him in for a movie, food, water, and so on. I was already losing brain cells, and I thought I was going to use this party to replace every one of them, but him being here ruined everything.I wasn’t ready to do this with him. I wanted to
KATHERINEWhen I arrived home, dad wasn't around. Rachel had told me he was waiting for me but he had an urgent call and had to hurry to work and probably won't be coming home. My thought of getting answers from him failed again, I might leave here tomorrow before he gets back.It was just Rachel and me all alone in the house. She had prepared my favorite food for me, which I ate hastily because I was famished.While eating, we got to bond deeper than last time; she had told me how she met my father. She told me dad wasn't in his right state of mind when she met him, he was looking so lost and broken.At first, he didn't want to give her an opportunity in his life, he kept saying he has a daughter and wouldn't know if the daughter would accept another mother but as time went on, he began growing soft for her.Rachel also told me so many times he would come home sad and drunk because he wasn’t allowed to see his daughter, but now he is excited and happy because I was here. She had plea
HENRY THRONES“Gloria, is there anything else as important as this concluded meeting and if not, move everything till on Monday. I have someone special waiting for me at home and I'm already late as it is” I told my PA as I checked my wristwatch. It was 5 PM and Katherine would be home already. I wanted to surprise her today by taking her out for a movie date with me and Rachel.I knew she was anxious about what happened to me and her mum but I'm scared, I'm afraid if she finds out the truth it would break her. I don't want to see her get hurt; I don't know how to take care of someone when they are sad and broken. I couldn't even take care of myself, if it wasn't for Rachel, I would have been in the same pit, probably a monster who is hated by all. Rachel was able to show me a new world, a place of love and peace. I knew I was partly at fault for what happened, I allowed my busy life and business to take away my time that I didn't have time for the people who were important to me, I
KATHERINE“Hey Katherine, where are you?” Katie asked the moment I answered the call, I had just left my dad's place. The house felt silent this morning when we were having breakfast, I wondered what was wrong if they had an argument but neither of them said no and that it was just once in a while thing when couples are short of words to say to each other.I hadn't bought their silly excuses but in order not to pry deeper I had let it go hoping they would tell me when they have both calmed down, I told them I would be leaving after breakfast.Dad had instructed his driver to drop me off at my apartment and I was close to my door when I heard my phone ring and it was Katie.“I just got to my apartment, what's wrong?” I asked.“Nothing, you didn't call me yesterday when you left and I was worried, I tried calling your number but it wasn't connecting.”“I slept off early, I was exhausted. I'm sorry about that. How was the party celebration?” I asked her.“It was nice though dad and mum w
Katherine Thorne: “M— Mother!” I tore away from Alexander’s lips immediately and was face–to–face with the immensely angered scowl on my mother’s face. My body dilated with fear. “Katherine Oliva Throne! What the hell are you doing kissing—” She paused, taking a moment to stare down Alex in a demeaning manner and the frown on her face deepened. “— this rascal deviant of a boy!” She completed her statement with so much disdain evident in her tone. My mother was boiling and raging mad, the reason wasn’t only because I was kissing Alexander, but it was also Alexander himself. He was everything a responsible man shouldn’t be in my mother’s books; bizarre and numerous tattoos, ear piercings, chains on his neck and wrists, and the typical bad–boy smirk slapped across his face right now. Why the heck was he smirking at this? What was so amusing? And my mother just caught me kissing him, I’m done for. “Mother, it’s not what you think. I’m telling you the truth!” I protested, tryin
Katherine Thorne:“WHAT?” Kate shrieked, slamming her locker shut. “You kissed Alexa—” The rest of her sentence came out muffled into my palm because I had to cover her mouth before she told the whole school that Alexander had kissed me. We were by the lockers in the hallway and students were all around us, I didn’t want to be the topic of any gossip. And some students had their attention drawn to us already at the mention of the word ‘kiss’.“Shut up, Katie. People may hear you.” I scolded her, letting go of her mouth gradually. “And no, I didn’t kiss Alexander, he kissed me,” I explained to her in a near–whisper. “How on earth!” She asked, the curiosity in her tone was almost whole enough to slice with a knife. “Well, when I got back to my apartment and got off the phone call with you, he was right behind me.” I began my narration. “He started off by being the annoying jerk he usually is, then went on to ask me to tutor him.” Katie’s eyes widened, “He wants you to tutor him? Wow
Katherine Thrones I was feeling positive and sure I would be able to corner the bad boy Alex to where I wanted him and then I would break his heart and teach him a lesson to never mess with girls in his whole life. Katie squealed in happiness, “Oh! Yes, yes! Katherine, yes! I’ve been waiting for you to say these very words and agree to get Alexander where it hurts! I’m so happy.” Katie beamed at me with a wide grin. She was more excited about this than I was. “Yes, I will properly agree to date him just to teach him a lesson,” I stated and Katie’s smile curved into a sly smirk. “Just to teach him a lesson right? Don’t fall in love with him, Katherine.” Katie warned and I shook my head in naught. Never. Nope. Not Happening. First of all, my mother would kill me and whatever boy I fall in love with and secondly, Alexander is not even the type of boy I’d envision myself falling in love with. He’s not my type and not worth taking the risk of disobeying my mother. This is just to teac
Katherine Thorne: I was speechless. Why was he asking this question? What did he know? Had he overheard Katie’s and I’s discussion by chance? Was he eavesdropping on us in the bathroom? Or was Samantha eavesdropping on us and went ahead to snitch to him? My mind was racing as possible scenarios played in my head and I was panicking that our plan had been exposed. And it was taking everything in me to not let my worry show on my face, I can’t let him see it. But now, I have to answer his question. What made me suddenly change my mind and agree to date him after explicitly refusing to do it so many times in the past week? “Well, it’s because I— I really—” I was finding it hard to lie to him that I had feelings for him, the words wouldn’t just get past my throat. I really hope he would mistake my silence for cold feet. “You really what, Katherine?” He urged, his eyes still not leaving the road. I swallowed hard. Briefly shutting my eyes, I had to convince myself to say the wor
