Chapter 72

A dream ~

Katherine

Do you know what scares me the most? Right now?

Betrayal and abandonment.

Yes, everything feels like a dream.

Every time I look at Alexander, I'd be thrilled, happy that he was here with us, but then the nagging feeling deep down in my heart keeps disturbing me every time I try to let him in.

Would he leave me again when he finds another woman in his world? Another woman who might have something he wants?

I know the deal with Mariah was fake but it did happen because she had something he wanted.

He wanted her Uncle's land and men, although putting a ring on her finger was planned, so he would take what he wanted, but it still happened.

Was this wrong? Bringing back a man who once broke my heart, not once or twice because he wanted something?

I know how he cherishes his empire, I know the sacrifices he has made but was this the right thing to do?

Bringing my children into this, into something th

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Disney world

    Chapter 79 Disney World~Katherine When Alexander first suggested a weekend trip, I thought he meant something quiet — maybe a little beach house or a cabin outside the city.I never imagined he was talking about Disney World.The kids screamed the moment they heard. Emilia jumped into his arms, her little legs wrapping around his waist, while Dante kept shouting, “Disney World! Disney World! We’re going to Florida!” And guess what?He told me I could invite Cherry and Amy if I wanted to, and of course, I wanted to.Cherry and Amy were just as excited. Amy called it “a long overdue adventure,” and Cherry declared she was bringing her camera to capture every second.For everything they've done for me, Disney World was just a minor thing. I would do more for them if given the chance to.By Friday evening, our bags were packed. I slipped folded clothes into small suitcases for the children, adding Emilia’s favorite pink dress and

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Happy Days

    Chapter 78 Happy Days~KatherineI had never felt this kind of peace before. Not the fragile kind that slips through your fingers when you’re not paying attention, but the steady, quiet sort that fills you up from the inside and refuses to leave.These days I've been having the best days of my life. Happiness was an understatement to what I've been feeling. Unimaginable joy and peace.The kids were at school. Alexander was at the office.I sat in the living room with my phone in my hand, smiling before the call even connected.Amy and Cherry were back from Chicago and I missed them so much."Hello sweethearts!" I sang.Amy’s voice rang through first. “Why do you sound suspiciously happy?”“Suspiciously?” Cherry cut in. “More like dangerously. Spill it, Katherine.”I laughed, sinking into the couch. “Fine. I’ll tell you everything. But you both have to promise not to scream in my ear.”“No promises!” they chorused together.So I to

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   My Queen

    Chapter 77 My Queen~AlexanderFor a long time, I had imagined what it would feel like...Katherine in my arms, whispering those words I had dreamed of but never thought I’d hear.I love you.I could still hear them, clear as day, echoing in my head as I lay beside her. She was pressed against me, her breathing steady now, but I knew her mind was spinning just as much as mine.I couldn’t let her sleep without knowing the truth. Not anymore.It burned deep in my soul, my hunger for this woman.“Katherine,” I murmured, brushing my thumb against her jaw.She looked up at me and I swear I felt my resolve crumble to the floor That look still undid me, even after all these years.“What is it?” she asked quietly.I held her closer, because I knew what I was about to say would bring back memories. “Mariah,” I started, my jaw clenching at the name.My journey to Italy four years ago was based on discovering the coup, which was causing chao

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Weight

    Chapter 76 Weight~KatherineThe kiss had left my lips tingling, my whole body warm in a way I didn’t want to admit. I hadn’t planned for it to happen, but it did. And I liked it.The memory was still fresh and hot.The kiss wasn’t gentle. It wasn’t slow. It was heated, desperate, almost angry, and I kissed him back. For years, I thought I would turn away if this moment ever came again. But I didn’t.I could still taste him in my mouth.And now, sitting on the edge of the bed with my heart racing, I hated myself for not stopping him sooner.The kids were at school. Their new school, I had thought they would take the news badly, but like always, my kids surprised me with a nod of their head and a happy cheer that they would be moving to another school.The house was quiet. And Alexander was downstairs, probably working through one of his endless piles of documents. But my body was still alive with what happened.Was

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Burning

    Chapter 75 Burning ~KatherineMy lips still tingled.I could feel the burn everywhere, like his kiss had branded me.And before I could think, before I could scold myself, before I could shove him away...I kissed him back.I don’t know why. Maybe it was the way his eyes dared me, maybe the way his hands were still on my waist like they belonged there, maybe because deep inside I wanted to.Maybe because I've come to learn that no matter what happens, this man has turned his way into my soul and I wouldn't be able to resist.I tilted my chin up and pressed my mouth against his, soft at first, then harder when I felt his breath catch.His grip tightened instantly, pulling me flush against him, like he had been waiting for this moment for years. His mouth was warm and demanding, every brush of his lips drawing out the ache I had buried.“Alexander…” I whispered, but the sound was lost as he deepened the kiss.He kissed li

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Part of everything

    Chapter 74 Part of everything~KatherineThe kids were upstairs, sprawled on the carpet of the playroom with their toys, and the house was unusually quiet. I sat at the dining table with a sketchpad, flipping through rough pencil drawings I’d made over the years. Dresses, coats, suits, even little children’s outfits. Some were half-done, others carefully shaded with color.Fashion had always been mine. When I was younger, before everything got complicated, before Alexander and Italy and three little souls calling me “mama,” I would sew pieces by hand. Sometimes out of scraps, sometimes from fabric stolen from Marie.That old woman had helped me a lot. Not willingly though, but I could recall those times I'd steal her apples and oranges to survive from starvation.It was survival then. But my love for fashion was a passion.Now, staring at those drawings, it felt like a dream I had locked away too long.I had been worki
