"What's the matter, honey? Can you please Open the door? Katherine!" Mariana yelled at the top of her voice. She had been standing at the door for over 20 minutes, but Katherine hadn't cried enough. She sat on her bed, reminiscing about how she gullibly agreed to Alicia's idea. At that point, she was desperate, and it sounded like a good idea, but she never considered its consequences. Her eyes were red and swollen, due to excessive tears, but she didn't mind. She felt better off alone in her room."Katherine, open up!" Johnny's deep voice screamed from outside, and she sniffed in. For a moment, she wished they could go and let her be. "I'm gonna break the fucking door if you don't open up!" Mariana's voice echoed from outside, and she cackled amidst tears. She loves it when her mother makes empty threats. A loud ringtone interrupted the situation, and Mariana stared at the caller on her screen. Her eyes widened and pure joy spread across her face. She let out a soft smile and tur

Kelvin settled on his sofa with a glass of whiskey in his hand. His face paled with frustration and anger as he stared at the drame on the TV, even though he wasn't watching. “What exactly does he want? Son of a bitch!" He lamented, thinking about the General. Everything was becoming darker as each day passed by. He had thought that with time he would be able to uncover some secrets, but months had passed, and yet nothing.It's always the same thing over and over again. He thought about when the General talked about failing to correct a mistake. Could he be directing it at him or his family? If the General was indirectly talking about his family, then does that mean he knows what Mark had on his family? These thoughts occupied his mind, and he stared at the floor, trying to make sense of the situation.Immediately, his phone rang, drawing him from his deep thoughts. He stared at the screen, it was his Grandpa. “Wow!" He muttered, a smile cut across his lips, and he quickly picked u

After the meeting, Kelvin returned to his mansion with the thoughts of his Grandpa's words at heart. He wasn't entirely sure he loved Katherine still, but he was sure that he wanted her to be okay. His gaze fixated on the road as he tried to get his mind off the thoughts of Katherine. It was dark already, and the road was beautified with colorful lights, as they drove downtown. ***Back in Vancouzer, Mark was standing over his balcony, with a glass of whiskey in his hands. His face paled with anger, as he stared into the open sky like he was searching for answers. A pugnacious sound from behind called him back from his deep thoughts, and he turned around to see Amara standing before him with her fingers crossed. Her face was covered in fear, as she stared into his eyes like she had seen terror.“You took so long to answer my call?” He asked, and she exhaled in fear. “I was busy, boss, I couldn't make it quicker. I'm sorry," she said and took a bow to show her respect.“Next time w

In the early morning light, the office exudes a quiet elegance. Sun rays filter through the glass, casting a warm glow on polished desks and chairs. The aroma of fresh coffee mingles with the crisp scent of a clean, well-organized workspace, nurturing an atmosphere of creativity. Katherine walked into the office, her glamorous scent leaving a trail of her behind. The scent in the office suddenly became a haven of productivity, bathed in the gentle radiance of a new workday.A tender smile etched across her lips, as she darted her eyes around the sparkling desk and chairs. She let out a deep sigh and opened up her laptop, fidgeting her eyes on its screen with seriousness on her face. She relaxed in her seat and picked up the cup of coffee to take a sip when the door flung open, startling her. The coffee poured over her clothes, and she quickly dropped the cup on the desk. She narrowed her eyes to the entrance and saw Mark Muller standing before her with his gaze Intense and dangero

“Let him pass," Duncan yelled at the security men, and they stepped aside, giving Johnny the chance to walk through. Johnny narrowed his gaze and glared at them. He walked hastily towards the entrance where Duncan was standing. “What was the meaning of that? I'm sure as hell that you were the one who instructed these men to embarrass me. I thought we were friends? So much for our friendship after all.” Johnny yelled, his eyes filled with rage and agony, but Duncan didn't seem to be moved."Anyway, let's move on. So what's popping? Has your father been able to get back everything that he lost?” Johnny asked, staring blankly at him, and Duncan scoffed. He ran his eyes thoroughly around Johnny, so much contempt in them.“How dare you speak about that? Everything happening today is because of Katherine. She was the devil sent to destroy my family, but I didn't see it that way. If I had controlled my feelings for her, all these wouldn't have happened. You're her brother, and you have the
