Kelvin was sitting alone in his favorite spot in the COBMENIR hotel. He couldn't get things done just as he wanted. He knows that time is closing in for Mark to take action, and he doesn't even know how Mark intends to begin.Amara has not been very helpful, yet he was patient with her. He sipped from his glass of whiskey when a guard walked to his back.“Boss," he said, but before he could continue, a female voice cleared her throat and cut him short. Kelvin raised his brow. He knows that voice. He turned around to see Mrs. Juliana Martin standing before him with a subconscious mind. She was tipsy, and he could see it. He walked to her with a faint smile etching beside his lips. He waved the guard, and he walked away leaving him to Mrs. Juliana. “You won't let me be will you?" Kelvin said, pouring her a glass of whiskey. She sighed deeply and plodded to him with a strong on her face. “There's a lot you don't know about the Silverwood Associates. I prefer it stays that way you know
A few days had gone by, and Katherine had been discharged from the hospital. She was fit for work once more. She sat on the sofa, watching a TV show when Johnny walked past her. He came back and kissed her forehead before walking back again.She laughed, her eyes fixated on the TV, ignoring him. Since she returned from the hospital, she has been receiving special treatment from her mom and Johnny. For the moment, she wished it would remain that way, and they wouldn't switch back to default. Her phone rang, and she quickly reached for it. Picking up the phone, she noticed the caller was Kelvin. A contagious smile spread across her face, as her mind raced. She picked it up almost on the first ring. “Hello," her beautiful voice spoke into the phone."Hey,” Kelvin responded, and she giggled."What's popping? I'm sorry I didn't come and see you before you got discharged. I've got too many problems on my plate, and it's driving me insane." He said, and she chuckled.“You owe me no explan
Around 10 pm, Kelvin and Katherine drive into the compound with the convoy. He stole glances at her, wearing an ambitious smile driven by love and care. Their eyes met, and she chuckled. “Did you have fun tonight?" He asked, and she gasped with a smile on her lips.“Are you kidding me? Tonight was a hell of fun! Thank you." “Thank you? What for?" He asked, and she rotated her eyes towards the other direction.“For putting a smile on my face. Tonight was special, and I'm glad I get to experience such with you." She muttered, stealing glances at him, and he scoffed. A short silence to charge, while Kelvin struggled to find the best thing to say to her. At this point, he wasn't entirely sure if he was being nice because of the tragedy that befell her. Only one thing we certain, he wanted her to be happy. He sighed, looking through the windscreen. He caught a glance at Mariana peeping from the window, but he pretended like he had
The next day, the sun was at its peak in the sky, when Katherine woke from a nap. It was Sunday, and she was at home alone. The joy from yesterday lingered within her, and from her mood, one could tell that her happiness knows no bounds. A loud knock came on the door, calling out her attention, and she paused. She raised her brow trying to recall if she had any arrangement for the day, or if she was expecting anyone, but she couldn't point out anything in particular.Another knock came, and this time, she became curious to know who it was. She plodded towards the door, supporting her sleeping wear with her right hand.As she opened the door, she froze in shock, seeing Duncan in his tuxedo suit with a flower in his hands as he smiled sheepishly at her. “Oh my God! Duncan, what are you doing here? Get out now, before I call the policemen on you." She roared, her eyes glaring at him with a sense of disappointment.He pouted, with a guilty smile, but his tactics didn't seem to be workin
Kelvin sat up on the balcony. His gaze fixated on the beautiful flower standing below him. His eyes concurred with rage, as he stared at the flower absent-mindedly.He sipped from his glass of whiskey and frowned his face like the taste had gone bitter in his mouth. Immediately, his phone rang. He shifted his gaze to the seat and glanced at it. A terrific smirk spread across his chin as he saw that Pamela was on his phone. At first, he hesitated, and then, a thought crossed his mind. He quickly picked up the phone and picked up the call in haste with a wave of visible anger. “You! Don't you ever advise me on anything ever again! Just for the one time I decided to take your advice, look what happened. You know what? You're not as smart as you thought you were!" He roared angrily, not minding why she called in the first place. Pamela and Frank were on a trip to China. She was lying on the bed caressing her hair and preparing for an outing with Frank. She had finished taking her bath,
“Hey, my lovelies," Mariana purred and rushed to Katherine for a hug. Johnny stared at her, expecting her to read the room, but she seemed too excited to care about what was going on."How're you doing my beautiful girl? Why is your face so sad? Come on,” Mariana said to Katherine, caressing her hair gently. Johnny watched as she dragged Katherine into the house without looking in his direction, it was like he wasn't even there. He exhaled and left the house immediately. As he got outside the compound, his mind drifted away, and a look of shame and anger appeared all over him. The thoughts of Duncan coming to the house after trying to murder him in cold blood crept into his mind, and he remembered how he managed to get home that night.His face reddened with uncontrollable rage, as he stared in the open space. A deep sigh escaped his mouth, and he walked out of the compound in anger. Inside the room, Katherine was sitting on the bed next to her mom. Her face buried down on the grou
“Can you listen to yourself, Mom? You don't even care about how I feel. You just want a daughter that would obey your every command without question. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that can't be me.” She said, shooting daggers from her eyes, and Mariana sighed Before Mariana could utter another word in her defense, Katherine stood up and walked out of the room hastily. When she got to the sitting room, she scratched her hair repeatedly, confused about what to do.Her eyes caught a glance of her phone lying on the chair, and she dashed forward and picked it up. A nervous swallow betrayed her guilt, as she stared at the screen.Different thoughts ran through her mind. Calling Kelvin wasn't just the problem, even if she managed to get him then answer her call, how would she explain what he saw earlier? She collapsed on the sofa, thinking of how best to explain herself to him. The front door opened, and Johnny walked back inside. He had a serious look on his face as he walked
It was raining in Boston that night as Kelvin plodded towards the house. His face was dull, he tried to get his mind off what had happened in Katherine's residence earlier, but he couldn't get it off his mind. As he entered the house, there was a loud chattering from the large sitting room. He raised his brow, wondering whose voice he was hearing. It was a familiar voice. As he got closer, a low smile etched beside his lip as he realized that it was the voice of Mr. Lancelot.Mr. Lancelot was a family friend, it had been a while since he visited, and Kelvin couldn't help but wonder if all was well. Pamela's marriage to Frank was just a few days away, so it's only right that they got a more friendly visit from the family's friends. As he walked into the house, his gaze met directly with Mrs. Clarke, Lancelot’s wife. Her charming smile hadn't changed, despite all the years that had passed by. Every eye turned towards Kelvin, as he walked gently into the room with a vibrant ambiance.
