Kate hastily buttoned up her shirt and walked up to the bed to meet Aidan. Her heart was extremely pounding against her chest.“Shh…” Aidan placed his index finger against his list to silence Kate from making any noise.He gently climbed down the bed and tiptoe to the door. As he was about to reach the door, a low voice echoed from outside.“Kate, it's me Felix.” the stranger outside said after waiting for what seemed like ages for the people inside the room to open the door. Immediately he said that Kate quickly ran towards the door, but suddenly stopped in her tracks. “Don't be in a haste to open the door, Kate. This might be a trap,” said Aidan to Kate in a whispering voice.Even though the voice sounded like Felix's, Aidan was not too convinced about it because Liam can do anything just to get them.“If the person claims to be Felix, why didn't he come when my bodyguards were here until now? Always think about a situation before you jump to conclusion, Kate.” he quarreled with he
“Huh? Me? I can never employ Felix in any of my companies. I don't trust him, neither will I ever trust him. I can assist him if he wants to start a new business or if he has something to do with his hands. But if I'm to employ him in my company, I can't do that, Kate.” Aidan shared.The more he says these things, the more Kate and Felix get hurt. His words were piercing their hearts like an arrow. They almost label Aidan as someone who doesn't have a conscience. If he does, then why was he saying such things?This was what they made him feel when he was chased away from their house. Aidan wasn't saying this because he wanted revenge. He was saying nothing, but the truth.The thing is, Kate and Felix refused to accept this fact even though it was true. Aidan wasn't going to let them occupy his life and ruin him.No one knows what they may plan against him in the future.What feared Aidan the most was the curse that was laid on Kate and Felix's mom which was affecting them.No one know
Despite how hurtful Kate felt the previous night, she still woke up as usual and prepared tea for her boss.When she was done preparing, she woke Aidan from sleep.“Hey, good morning.” Aidan greeted and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and blinked repeatedly before stopping.“Good morning, sir,” Kate greeted with a smiling face as if nothing happened the previous night.Indeed, she slept and forgot everything.Upon seeing her smiling face, Aidan was pondering if there was something special about that morning that was making Kate smile hard.Aidan sat up on the bed and intensively stared at Kate with a questionable gaze. He needed an explanation about this.Maybe she was thinking he had an affair with her the previous night. No doubt that she woke up in Aidan's arms again.When Kate noticed how confused Aidan was, she chuckled.“You are wondering what's making me smile, right?” she asked him and sat at the edge of the bed with her back against his gaze.“Yes,” Aidan's low voic
Now, Felix was walking on the expressway, thinking about how miserable his life was at the moment.He has nowhere to sleep, yet he refuses to return to his hometown. Felix was sleeping under a bridge by the riverside. Despite how he got sucked by mosquitoes and how cold the place was, he never bothered.Well, it was his choice to sleep there. No one forced him. Nonetheless, the curse laid on their Mom concerning her children had caged him.Felix was pondering about the hurtful words Aidan used on him last night. The words kept displaying themselves in Felix's mind. It makes him hate himself the most.However, whenever he brings out Aidan's silver wristwatch from his pocket, he always smiles uncontrollably because he knows that the watch is worth millions.At least, he was going to sell it and use the money to feed himself in the meantime before he gets a roof to hide his head against the predators of the night.This wr
“I can't tell what's wrong with these twenty-first-century young men.” Charlotte shared as she sat on her office seat with her legs crossed.“You seem to be bothered about something. What's wrong about the present generation?” Kate curiously asked as she lowered her eyes at Charlotte.Charlotte sighed and dropped her leg before resting her elbows on the office table.“I met a young handsome man on my way to the office this morning. He was looking depressed and lost. It was as if he lost a family member or something…”“Ohh,” Kate mouthed and placed one of her palms on her cheek and rested her elbow on the office table before her. “ So how about him?”“Well,” Charlotte sighed,“ he always got hit by my driver when he mistakenly bumped into the road without noticing it. I mean, how can a normal person do that? I don't know why they worry too much about their problems rather than seeking solutions.” she grieved.It was written all over Charlotte's face that she was still sad about what hap
Although Kate had promised to talk to Aidan about what she and Charlotte discussed, Charlotte wasn't still satisfied.Charlotte went ahead to meet Mr. Leonard to demand where her boss and Kate stayed.This was because her major assignment was to find out where Kate stays and give the address to Liam and that's all.However, she was also scared that she could easily be suspected if she takes Kate to her uncle's mansion and something happened to her.Liam won't take it easy on Kate if he sets eyes on her. He was obsessed with her and he was ready to do anything just to get Kate.Nonetheless, Liam was a bit afraid of Aidan because he appears to be someone who one can easily touch and go freely.So, because of this, Liam was avoiding doing everything publicly. The best thing to do was to get Kate's address and he would know how to go about it.Now, Charlotte was in Mr. Leonard's office. She sat opposite Mr. Leonard with the
Aidan's bodyguards received Aidan's laptop from Kate and walked toward the parking lot to take off.As Kate started walking to where Charlotte was, Aidan called her back. Kate rolled her eyes.“What is it again? Hasn't he permitted me? Why is he calling me back?” Kate mumbled before turning around and walking to Aidan.Immediately she gets to him, he warned her. “Never should you by any chance take any drink that will make you tipsy. I don't want what happened the previous time to repeat itself.”“Yes, sir. I won't. That's a promise.” she assured him and Aidan nodded.“Alright, you can go now.” After saying that, Kate nodded and turned around. She began walking away. Again, Aidan called her back.‘What type of frustration is this? If he doesn't want me to go, then he should tell me, rather than turn me around like a dog.’ she grumbled inwardly.Kate turned around and walked up to him.“You called me, s
They got to Liam's father's mansion. The guards opened the car doors for them and they stepped out with smiling faces.“Wow!” Kate gasped after setting eyes on the mansion and everything in the compound. “ Your father is a billionaire and you work with us?”“My father? Nah...he is my uncle and I live with him.” Charlotte responded as she led Kate to the lounge.“Ohh, this mansion is dope. I can't hide that fact.” Kate praised the mansion as she kept scanning around with admiration.“You are welcome to my uncle's house. Feel free because it's your house as well.” Charlotte said to Kate with happiness because her mission was completed.The next thing she should be expecting is her freedom from her ruthless cousin's brother, Liam.“Thank you,” Kate appreciated as they stepped into the lounge.All the house servants who they came in contact with bowed and greeted them.Unfortunately, Liam's two puppets were eating dinner. Immediately they saw Kate, they began smiling as they gazed at her.
