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.

“Yes, that's what I thought. Who can blame you though? We've all had a taste of our hatred, pain, dislike. I'm not sure about anything right now, the only thing I know for sure is that I must preserve this family's legacy." Kelvin said, leaving Becca speechless. Her eyes darted around and settled on his face. Their eyes met, and Kelvin shook his head. No matter how strong he tried to be, she could sense his hidden pain. A deep sigh escaped her lips as she stared at him. “Do you want to talk about it? Sometimes I find myself in situations where I have to talk to someone. Too bad, most of the time I have none to talk to. This past few months was not what I expected it to be, you know," she said, and Kelvin nodded his head in agreement. “I take it that Mariana's return isn't good news. I can understand that. Sometimes I think we keep too many secrets from the people we care about, and it adds to our pain and frustration.” He said, and she narrowe

“Assholes!" Kelvin cursed as he sauntered into the house. He went directly to the bar and poured himself a glass of whiskey.“Fucking assholes," he cursed again. He was panting heavily, after a long day at the police department, he had failed to convince the police that Mark Muller was behind the sudden death of Frank. Given the situation, it became obvious that Mark must be monitoring his movement, somehow, he managed to find out whatever he did or discussed with anyone. “Maybe he knows about Juliana already, or maybe he doesn't." Kelvin thought. He paced around the sitting room, thinking of the next move now that Frank was dead. His phone rang, and he glanced at the screen. It was a call from Dead Target. He sighed and dropped the glass of whiskey on the table gently. “What?" He said abruptly as he picked up the call. “I believe you have a mission for me. Let me hear it."Kelvin exhaled and left his seat with a little worry all over his face. “I was going to call you, but some

He had returned to Boston just as Juliana instructed in her texts, and the outcome wasn't all that he had expected. “Boss we're going down, please fasten your seatbelt,” the pilot announced, and Kelvin sighed. He did as instructed, and in less than a minute, they were on the runway. Kelvin gasped, peeping through the window. His mind drifted back to the moment in Boston, Juliana's palms caressing his chest, and building his urge till he couldn't hold back anymore.Flashes from the mind-blowing sex with Juliana came crawling back into his memory, and he let out a low smile. He took off his seatbelt and sauntered down the jet. His security team was already waiting at the airport with a fleet of cars to take him home.

It was a new day as the struggle in the Woodluck household continued. Kelvin had been to several meetings, but all proved abortive in helping his Mom. The situation behind Uncle Theo's arrest turned out to be a big disadvantage for his course, and there was no one to turn to for help. He left the bed and started making his Early morning push-ups when he heard his phone ring. He abruptly walked over to the bed and noticed it was a call from Fubris Company in Vancouzer. “What the hell?" He said and picked up the phone. It was just 7:30 am, while would he be getting such a call he thought, so he picked up the call.“This is Kelvin, what's the matter?" He asked curiously, and a dull female voice greeted from the phone, “Good morning, boss."“We have a problem," the lady said and Kelvin furrowed his brow. “Mind going straight to the point? I have too many scheduled for today."“Sir a government agency just came into the company and ordered a total lockdown of the company, and every staf

On a Monday morning, Kelvin woke up late, it was a new day to face the troubles in the family. He grunted, struggling to leave the bed, but he clearly was too tired and needed more sleep. He glanced at his side clock, past 8 already. He jumped off the bed, today was the day when he got to represent his Uncle at the Silverwood Associates. He knew he couldn't mess things up by showing up late, so he rushed into the bathroom. In the blink of an eye, he was done and was dressing himself as fast as he could. A knock came on the door, and he paused. “Come on in," he screamed, and the door opened gently. An old woman walked into the room, wearing white and a kitchen apron on her.“Good morning sir, your coffee is ready as usual. Would you like me to make something else for you before you leave the house?” She asked, and Kelvin sighed. "Naah! Don't worry, Carolina, I don't have any time to eat. The coffee will do just fine,” he said to her and she took a bow before walking out. After dre

“What does the cunny lady have for me this time? I trust that you bring good news? Spit it, I've got no time to waste.” Mark's husky voice said over the phone. Mariana swallowed nervously, her eyes darted around the room as she thought of the best way to say what she had in mind. Mark was someone she knew to be impatient and arrogant, his temper issues were something to be concerned about. She exhaled, darting her eyes around the room.“What is it? I don't have all day." He roared, and she flinched. She swallowed hard and pouted slowly."Uhm… there is a problem," she said. Sitting on his sofa inside his sitting room, he raised his brow, showing his concern for what she had to say. " Spit it out,” he commanded, and she swallowed.Fear engulfed her, thinking about what he would do when she told him the situation."It's Gregory. It happened just like you said. He is deviating from the plan, I think he is going to the police or press, I can't tell which exactly.” "Hmm!” He mumbled in s

Katherine had her gaze steadied on the road as she drove downtown. A few minutes ago, she had a serious argument with her Mom, and it didn't end well. Her eyes were filled with sadness, as she stared at the road ahead of her. She had confronted her Mom about her involvement with Mark, but it didn't go so well. Due to her state of confusion, she packed her clothes and drove out of the house unsure of where she was going. It was past 10 pm when she drove into a hotel downtown. She decided to spend the night there, and then by morning, she would worry about getting herself another house. “Good evening, Ma'am," the hotel attendant greeted with a smile on her face, and Katherine blinked twice. She was not in a happy mood, hence her awkward expression. “How many I help ma'am??" The young lady on glasses said, and Katherine sighed. “I need a room for the night," Katherine announced, and she smiled. “Ok ma'am, hold on. Would you prefer a regular room or a VIP room?” After a short consid
