The Return of Tyler Redwood Chapter 68
Esther rested her head on his chest snoring peacefully. The car hit a bump on the road and she started, reaching for his arm.Dylan tried to calm her down. “It's okay, honey. It's just a little bump.” He ran his hand down her body, rubbing her lower back so she could go back to sleep.Soon enough, her eyes fluttered closed and she drifted off. They were just coming back from a function at one of his friend's wedding. It was a spectacular affair but it also ran into the night which is why they were heading home this late.The streets they were passing were usually supervised by security but to make sure they were extra safe, Dylan always went everywhere with his extra muscle, and his driver was also trained for combat.Honestly, he was drained and he looked forward to heading to bed and taking a long warm shower before drifting up to sleep but unfortunately, that was not the case.This time the car rolled to a sudden stop, jolting Dylan forward.It was only thanks to his quick reflex

Katerina rolled out of bed, covering her mouth with one hand to hide a yawn as she stretched the other over her head.Jumping out of bed, she walks towards the bathroom to take a leak. When she was done, she moved to wash her hands at the sink staring at her reflection in the mirror.She almost couldn't recognize who the woman in the mirror was.The usual dull and ashy pallor wasn't present anymore, instead a vibrant and energetic woman took her place.Between the session with Amber Green and spending more time with Tyler and Eliza, she was slowly recovering the woman that she was meant to be.The only thing that she was putting off was visiting Mom and Dad. She had been spending the past couple of days staring at school pictures and various books that held memories from another lifetime.While she was currently happy, she still couldn't help but feel guilty, as though she was robbing them on some sort of chance.Sighing to dispel each sad thought, Katerina splashed water on her face
The Return of Tyler Redwood Chapter 70
Tyler woke up with a smile on his face, his eyes still closed—the thoughts of the memories of what happened last night into his memory.Casually rolling over to the other side, he reached for Katerina, only to meet with a cold, empty space.His eyes flew open immediately and he sat up surprised. “Katerina?” he called out, only to be met with silence again. Flipping the covers back from his body, he swung his leg over to the other side of the bed slipping his legs into the slippers.He checked the bathroom but she wasn't there.Thinking she was downstairs, he went down the stairs only to see Eliza cooking up a storm.When she heard the sound of footsteps approaching, Eliza turned around with a smile on her face, a spatula in the other hand, and an apron tied over her matronly body. “Good morning, Mr redwood!”“Good morning,” he returned her warm greeting. “I'm sorry but have you seen Katarina around? I've been looking for her.”Her smile has dimmed. “No, sorry sir. I thought she was up

The contents of the letter were not what he expected at all and it was also quite lengthy. It read,“Hey, Tyler I know that you might be surprised when you see this but trust me this is not something that I planned to do. But as I sit here writing this letter while watching your sleeping face…I had to ask myself certain questions, like if I ever knew you in the first place. Something came to light that made me realize maybe I never did. I don't know what to say. I'm sure it just sounds like a crazy goodbye but I just want you to know how much I still love and care about you….”The last couple of lines in the letter appeared to be smudged and blotted out by some of the removers… it looks suspiciously like tears if he was being honest. Holding the letter in his hands, the reality of what had just happened soccer punched Tyler like a freight train.Katerina had left him.The question ‘To Where' was the first place his mind went to. She was suffering from ADA, so she didn't know a lot of

Katerina sighed with regret cradling the phone to her chest before placing the phone back on its hook.Estelle was right there to give her moral support “It's okay darling, you did nothing wrong.” She rubbed the side of her arm. “He's a monster and you're too special to be with monsters.”She rolled her eyes, tired of the suggestive talks ever since she came here. Her parents have been trying to brainwash her into believing that Tyler was some kind of monster, a bad person that needs to be punished but she couldn't reconcile that with the man that she knew and spent time with yesterday.It was a little bit hard to convince herself to leave but then again she had this feeling in her guts that said she should trust Dylan.Packing up her bags was the hardest thing she had to do but she did it anyway, however, she regretted ever coming here. Not only did she not have memories of these people that claimed to be her parents but there were also reminders that stated they were very much invol

Katerina and Dylan exchanged a glance before they bolted out of their seats running towards the kitchen, in search of Esther thinking that something bad had happened, only for them to get there and realize that she was just staring down at her phone. “Honey, do you want to give us a heart attack? I damn near broke a leg trying to get to you!” Dylan complained.The news that something was wrong when Esther slowly raised up her head, her eyes wide and filled with horror. “Dy…Dylan, I-I…”Dylan didn't need any other explanation, immediately hurrying over to her side. As soon as he was close by, she laid her head on his chest after so while he tried to comfort her.“What's going on?” Katerina asked, genuinely confused.Esther kept crying, mumbling incoherent things but once she felt better a bit, she leaned up to whisper into Dylan's ear and whatever she might have told him must have been horrible because instantly his face went pale, bereft of all color.He's talking about looking like

Katarina retired herself in the accounting room where she sat observing how their stocks plummeted by the second. She had to place a call to someone she had who was a reporter to help her find who leaked the news of how the family supported the mayor with illegal money for his re-election process to the press.Unfortunately, the person had no leads leaving her back at where she started.With every minute that passed by, she grew restless, the feeling of helplessness threatening to overwhelm her.She wasn't one for religious activities but at this point, she was at her wit’s end and she offered a prayer to whoever was listening, believing that there was no loss in trying in the first place.Two hours later, Leeland reported back to her that two of their big-time investors had pulled out and their stocks now we're down to 40 percent.The stocks were down by 60%, that is the end of their company they would have no choice but to liquidate and set up the rest of the shares or declare bankr

A knock sounded on her door making Katarina ways her tired head up.She was currently using an office that belonged to one of the regional managers who was not in the country presently. Ever since this rumor thing started and the stocks started going down, everything has been crazy for the past couple of days.She has not been able to sleep regularly or even properly as they were always monitoring the stocks, trying to reach out to probable investors so that they could pump money into the company and elevate their sales game but everybody kept turning them down. Quite frankly everybody seems to have given up and it's made Katarina look as though she was fighting a losing battle but she refused to give up hope.It was in times like this that she missed Tyler fiercely, but nevertheless, she tried to keep her chin up and a positive disposition around her knowing that the minute she threw in the towel it was as well as gone. “Amanda, how can I help you?” She asked the young woman steppi

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
