Dave was having a good time, he had invited some of his buddies for a drink at his house, three showed up but the other two had declined with the reason being that they had some other engagement, he heard the doorbell chimed and opened the door to see a pageboy, he had brought the tabloid asking if Dave would be interested, he declined at first but the corner of his eyes had caught the photographs on the front page and he quickly grabbed it in disbelief, the lady on the photo staring back at him was certainly Kathleen, his run away bride, he quickly paid the pageboy and shut the door on his face, his eyes never leaving the photos, his red rimmed eyes quickly scanned the lines, it said the wife of the only heir to Deloux empire brought in another man to her matrimonial bed and was caught by her husband, one of the photos showed Kathleen wrapped only by a bed quilt, Dave smirked, "scheming little slut"   Max, his right-hand man who was already almost drunk regarded him, "who is i

Derek's alarm sounded the next morning and he stretched his arms expecting to meet warm flesh as usual but his arms met a cold bed, he opened his eyes and looked at the empty bed, memories of what happened flood into his brain and he closed his eyes as if to put away the pain he was feeling, he desperately wanted to believe her yesterday but he couldn't allow himself to get caught in her lies again, she had been seeing Stefan without his knowledge and had hid it from him and when he had come home that day after receiving those photos, he had heard them discussing, rather planning, she was with him for his money, she might have staged a damsel in distress act in the first place to get him to marry her, afterall, he was a known figure,he was such a fool for falling into her trap and he won't be her fool anymore, he could probably endure the pain of her betrayal but he would not be able to forget the pain of losing his child, he had been so happy thinking that his dreams are finally co

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 here

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

"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
