The Return of Tyler Redwood Chapter 56
Katerina spotted them coming towards her room and tried not to panic.Only Fates knew how long it's been since she'd been out. No one bothered to tell her anything, not that they even listened to her to start with.Her head and body felt like they had been hit by a truck but the pain was distant, not acute like it just happened immediately.That gave her some sense of relief but even at that, she mentally braced herself.A female doctor walked in, followed by Tyler and there other strange people.The woman next to Tyler was staring at her like she was her long-lost cousin.It was hard to reciprocate the feeling when she had no idea who the lady was.A dark-haired older gentleman clung to the lady, making her assume that they were a couple.Trying to wrap her head to figure out how she knew them but nothing was coming forth.The old lady standing at the far left also caught her attention, looking distinguished and sophisticated with her dress which looked to be slightly wrinkled.There

It's been a couple of days since the news was broken to Katerina, and all she could say was that it's been a blur.At first, she couldn't believe it even after Sasha tried breaking it down for her repeatedly.Tyler was the one who helped her understand it better. He took a seat next to her, holding her hand as he tried to explain things to her, showing her pictures with Esther, Dylan, and even that old lady.Turns out that those were her parents and the old lady, her grandmother.“What about my grandfather?” She'd pointed out, noting his absence over the years in the pictures. Tyler hesitated, the look in his eyes saying he wasn't sure if he should tell her. Overcoming that initial hesitation, he went. “He's dead, actually.”She gasped, pressing a palm to her chest. “How?”“Weirdly, I don't have the answer to that.” He chuckled nervously.We passed that and went on to less disturbing topics, each thrilled to be with the other person again.Even though she lied about not having most m

It turns out, not everything goes through the way you expect it to go.For Katerina, she expected her and Tyler to bond and get closer to each other but for some reason, he loves avoiding her.The other day, he went out and didn't get back home until late the next morning without so much explanation of where he went.Even though there were gaps in her memory about their relationship, she had hoped he would try to create new ones to replace the old but that wasn't the case, he seemed to avoid her like she could contaminate him at any given moment, a stark difference from who he was earlier.The change was so rapid that it left her spinning around, directionless.Add to the fact that she was currently out of a job and her family hated her guts for choosing Tyler over them, all she could do was lounge around the house, eating and binging on Netflix.After a week though, it grew tiring.She craved some real conversation and some bonding time with Tyler.Amidst all these, she made sure to

Hearing Katie crying because of him, threatened to tear Tyler apart.He thought he was doing the best thing for both of them by staying away from her after she was discharged from the hospital, also it was because he couldn't stand being next to her, especially after knowing that he failed to protect her.Katie wasn't the only one who was researching the Adverse Dissociative Amnesia that she has Tyler was doing a bit of light reading at the office on that disease and he found out that the chances of her recovering her memories were slight but he didn't change how he felt about finding out what her family did to his. He thought he could move past it especially after what happened to Katerina but… it seems that it's a little tougher than that.Pulling her closer he wrapped his hands around her body putting her on the head as he mowed some words of comfort. “Shhh, it's okay…” he tucked a finger on the chin lifting her face up to his. Her eyes were big and wet with tears, the image got i

After the little hearts-to-heart that they had, things went well between Tyler and Katerina; it turns out that all Tyler needed was some bedroom action to stop his lousy grouchy attitude. That morning while Tyler was still in bed, she had gotten it into her head to make a nice breakfast as a thank you for supporting me/ I love you gift. The only downside to her plan was the fact that she didn't have any cash at hand to make a quick stop by the grocery store and buy a couple of things. Thankfully, one thing that her father had imparted to her was the ability to think on her feet. Immediately she dashed to the bedroom, checking Tyler's pants pocket in case you could see any spare change but still nothing except his car keys…even his credit cards were not there. The next idea she got was to check his office which was always locked but thankfully the key was on the bedside table. Tyler mumbled something in his sleep, rolling over on the bed smiling as she bent down to place a kiss on h

She did the first thing that came to mind, ducking underneath his desk. Katerina held her breath, hearing his footsteps as he matched towards her.Her heart was beating so fast that she feared he might hear it from where he was.Thankfully, the gods up there listened to her prayers because he only poked around for a while, and minutes later she heard the door closing behind him, allowing her to heave a sigh of relief. However, she waited for a couple more minutes before she crawled out of the desk, glancing around.The room was empty, save for a few scattered paperwork on his desk. Walking towards the door, she pushed it open and then she slipped out, only to dash into the nearest bathroom to fix her hair. Katerina also splashed a little bit of water down her dress. Casually walking out of the bathroom, she collided with Tyler who was also walking out of a room, pretending to act surprised. “Hey, there you are! I've been looking for you.” Tyler exclaimed, drawing her into his arms.“

Somewhere in South France…A knock sounded on the door, the sound loud in the quiet space.A man was standing, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows. His back was to the door with a cigarette in his hand, the smoke billowing up the ceiling. “Come in.”A waiter ruled a trolley in the field to the max with food and snacks as well as a lot of beverages to take from. Demonstrating at the window slowly turned around on his heel watching the waiter approach with a cautious eye. “Your food, sir.” The waiter announced, removing several dish covers from each dish with a flourish, the smell wafting up from the food and flooding the room.The man nodded with satisfaction as he stared at each meal, happy with his choices. “Thank you, you may leave.” He instructed the waiter after slipping several $100 bills into the guy's hands. As the guy was about to leave, he stopped him with his voice. “Oh, and please tell the lady outside to come in.”The waiter bowed, rushing to the door to carry out the man

Melinda walked the way shortly after the brief talk, Giorgio explaining how he wanted things to go what he expected from her.Just hope that she didn't let the newfound power he'd just bestowed on her get into her head, especially when power has a way of taking over people.Luckily, this was not his first rodeo and from the minute she left, he had a couple of people watching her, to brief him on how she spent every second of her day making sure her movements were well accounted for.If Melinda mistakenly thought about pulling one over him, Giorgio would know to put her down before things got out of hand.He lit up another cigarette, placing the other end in his mouth as he sucked down on the nicotine allowing it to fill up his lungs before puffing it out.The rush of this Cuban cigar was extraordinary, which was why he always took his time with one piece. Unfortunately, precious alone time was cut short when there were two raps on the door followed by the entrance of his closest aide

EPILOGUE Katerina's plan worked perfectly.Bianca fell into the trap and spun for her by pulling out the gun.Luckily for Katerina, her SOS signal went out in time and the cops showed up in time. Katerina was able to wrestle the gun away from Bianca, throwing in a punch.The police raided the house and as expected, they found some of the things they planted. Of course, Bianca firmly refused to accept that they were there, stating that Katerina planted it.Of course, the idea was disputed since the cameras had her stationed with Bianca the entire time.Mark took the fall as unsurprisingly his parents threw him under the bus to save their skin.Thanks to Katerina, Tyler's family massacre case was reopened and they were able to place the crimes on Mark and his family. Mark served time for abduction, kidnapping, and intent to murder, along with his fraudulent crimes.Giorgio got to bow out from the whole crime rivalry gang since the crimes committed by Mark and his family were now out in

“So I'm going to go inside and distract them, making sure their fingerprints touch some of the gadgets stuff while you guys go around and plant these things in their houses, okay?” Katerina went over the plan one more time to be sure that everyone understood.She picked Heinze and another guy called Jake to spearhead the mission, making sure plants were in places that the cops could easily access but weren't too obvious either.Once they all understood their parts of the plan she grabbed a gun, tucking it at the back of her Jean, firmly clipping it on the waistband of her pants.There's no way she's heading in there without protecting herself. “Once I give the signal, I want you to call the cops, okay?” She instructed one of the men that were staying behind, about to walk away.“Katerina, can I talk to you?” Giorgio called out just as she was about to leave. She paused. “We don't have enough time for that.”“Just a minute.” He insists and she walks over to him. “I'm really proud of

Mason and Katerina sat down in the doctor's office, anxiously waiting for a news report on Tyler.Mason himself was a nervous wreck, his left foot tapping incessantly against the floor. He kept glancing at the door waiting for the doctor to show up.The surgery they performed on him took over 10 hours, so much so that Mason had to give up on waiting around and head home.A day later, they were back here awaiting reports from the doctor. Katerina couldn't help for but feel anxious but it wasn't only because of Tyler's issue. After Giorgio agreed to her insane plan, they started working towards it. Since they only had a small window before Mark's case was taken to court, they had to work twice as hard as they needed to.Now that she was in on the plan, Giorgio revealed how he systematically arranged for Tyler's parents to get killed and anytime she thought about it, it made her want to puke.This small reveal only showed her how sick and demented she would get to lead a crime mob lik

Giorgio's eyes widened the moment those words escaped her lips. “Wait, what?”“Let me do it. The other time in the restaurant, you asked me to take over from you….” She squared her shoulders. “So I'll do it. If taking over from you is the only way to stop this nightmare from reoccurring, fine, I'm in.”“Katerina, no I can't ask you to do that.” He sighed.“I don't understand what's changed, less than 2 weeks ago clamping from me to take over from you.”“Well, I was too desperate to find someone to fill in my shoes so I could take a break but now I'm realizing that you may not be the best person to be to do that. You're not equipped enough.” He explained.“Okay then, why don't you teach me?” She wasn't willing to take no for an answer.“You're still not getting it!” Giorgio grunted. “This isn't something that can be taught, you have to spend years on the job before taking over. You have to be cold and calculated to do what is wrong without flinching and you're not there yet, Katerina.”

Katerina barged into the mansion that Giorgio and his men were hiding in, pulling the bulk of his men's attention towards her.Alarmed by the sight of a stranger, they raised their weapons aiming it at her.However, Katerina was too pissed off to let it go. “Get me your boss, he and I have some business to talk about.” She ordered, daring to speak despite over a dozen guns being focused on her chest. “Well?” She arched a brow after a couple of minutes passed and nobody moved.Fearless, she took a step further. “If you guys want to bury a bullet in me, then I suggest you start or else…I'll need you to bring me to Giorgio.”She was about to do something crazy to get their attention when the person to whom she spoke stepped out. “Katerina…” he rumbled.For some reason, he wasn't so surprised to see her here. Her face was set in a grim stance. “Can we talk?”With one look in their direction, Giorgio casually ordered them to pull down their rifle and then he tilted his head to the side, i

“Holy shit, what happened!” Katarina exclaimed, scrambling up to her feet.Esther was crouched over Dylan whose eyes were closed as if he was asleep, a large bullet wound on his chest.She gasped, standing frozen in the middle of the yard.Which reminded her…Katerina spun around in a slow circle, taking in the destruction that those guys had caused.All around them was chaos. The moving truck which contained her clothes and some furniture had toppled over to the side and the back door was riddled with bullet holes.Some of the movers were hit during the shootout and their colleagues were trying to help them stem the flow of blood pouring out from the affected areas.“Katerina, I need your help!” Mom yelled, trying but failing to make a pitiful attempt at CPR.Her mind snapped back to reality reminding her that she needed to help Dad.“Come on, we need to get him inside?” She urged.Mom's head rose up, her gaze slightly disoriented. “What do you mean?”“In case those guys come back, w

“I think you need to move it in this direction. No, stop! That cannot go in there…what are you doing?”The cacophony of voices bounced around in Katerina's head pulling her out of her slumber.With a groan, she placed the back of her palms against her forehead, trying to shut out the noise but apparently, her window had been left open.Slightly grumpy for being abruptly woken up, Katerina flung back the covers, angrily marching towards the window to shut it when a movement from the corner of her eyes caught her attention.It seemed like there was a loading truck pushing in items and… Was that her luggage?She squinted to make out the design of the bag and to her shock, it was the bag she'd gotten on vacation with Tyler last year.How did…A thought flashed into her mind and she quickly scrambled towards her walk-in closet.Her room back at the house was like a mini-mansion. Two huge rooms split into her bedroom and her walk-in closet connected by an adjoining door which made it easy

“First of all no one is shipping me anywhere and what the hell are you guys even talking about?” Katerina walked into the room, watching their faces light up like they knew they'd done some wrong. “Is anyone going to answer me?”Dylan stepped forward, his hands stretched in front of him in an effort to placate her. “Honey, listen I don't want you to take this in some way but your mother and I have been talking-”“You mean to say ‘discussing’ we haven't finalized on it yet.” Esther interrupted, sliding a side eye to Dylan.“Whatever.” He waved it off. “what I meant to say is that we've been thinking about you and your general well-being and uh… some things that have given us concerns.”“Concerns like what?” Katerina asked, folding her hands over her chest.Esther and Dylan exchanged a glance, something meaningful passing through them. Dylan spoke up first. “I think with everything that is going on… you've been going through a lot of things for the past couple of months and for everyone

In a coma…Those words kept ringing in Katerina's ears as she stared up at the ceiling, mentally counting the tiles on each row.After that, she'd move to the next row and repeat the process all over again until she was tired.Anything to keep my head off suicidal thoughts or worse…. reliving both of Tyler's traumatic accidents.Mason had yet to discover fully from the shock, having staggered out of the room. When Katerina stopped him to ask, he simply mumbled that he was heading out in search of fresh air but she knew it was a lie.Just like her, he couldn't spend another moment stuck in a never-ending nightmare.Unable to stop torturing herself, Katerina replayed the doctor's words again in her head, picturing the exact moment when it sank in.“I'm sorry, we tried our possible best but sadly, it wasn't enough. He went into cardiac arrest and then anaphylactic shock, leaving us with only one option… we had to induce him into a coma.” The doctor's voice was devoid of emotion but I gu
