"๐ต๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.... ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐..."KatherineMy head was aching so badly. I stood up from what seemed to be a floor. A floor?! I stood up as quickly as lightning and fell back down.My leg seems to be tightened with a metal. I looked down at my legs and there was a chain?!I heaved a deep breath, calming myself for what would come.The last thing I remember is bumping into Alexander Tyrone. The Mafia Leader shit! I looked around the room and it was a room...it was painted blue and the Curtains were blue as well.Whoever put me in this room was an angel, cause blue was my favorite color."You seem to be happy with the room." The dark deep voice made me look up quickly."You drugged me, you son of a....of a..." I looked for the right words. "Biscuit!" I half yelled.I wouldn't want to offend him by calling his mother a bitch...but a biscuit isn't harmful, right?"You'll be staying here till your money is paid." He flicked on the light and moved closer.Stay cool, Katty. Don't yell, don't cuss. Just keep your big mouth shut and there'll be no problem for now."I want to go home." It came like a whisper. I was so tired of playing this hide-and-seek game with him.He was Handsome and fuck! he was hot but I wanted nothing but peace than having a handsome Italian Mafia Leader chase me around New York like I meant a thing. I had only three thousand dollars in my account.My rent for my apartment was due, and the rent was two thousand and five hundred fucking dollars. My heater stopped months ago, and my air conditioner? I even forgot I had one. My soaked bed that for water all over it? No need...I sleep on a mat!Life wasn't fair for me and yet..this mafiasi didn't want to leave me alone."Are you crying?" He chuckled.Sadist! "No, I'm sniffing. I think I got cold." I mumbled, cleaning my eyes. He didn't look like he cared at all."When I do charity case, I do it freely. But I never let a loan go. When a man owes me, he pays to the last penny." He turned around."How I'm I going to pay back? I don't have any money, I'm just a poor little girl who wants to live. I can pay you back a little bit little If you let me." I mumbled."And how can you do that, Miss Thawne? You do not have an apartment. Cause my ragil's kennel is far better than that thing you call an apartment or should I talk about your job that pays 20 dollars each night?"I knew my life was messed up, but there was no need to list them out like this. I felt sick in the gut as he talked about me like I wasn't standing in front of him."That's why I changed jobs, I went to the club to get more money," I whispered but he heard me.He cocked his brow. "You went there to strip?" He looked angry now. Why the hell was he angry now?! I was telling him I had found a way to get him his money in bulk."Did you go there to strip? Answer me!" He bellowed."Yes, I went there to strip and get money so you'd let me go," I answered firmly this time and he grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him.I gasped. l looked down at my shackled legs cause it stung when I moved around. He used his other hand to lift my chin, so I'd look at him. His eyes were dark green and God help me, was he so Handsome...I felt like melting under his gaze."Has anyone seen this body of yours, Hmm?" He asked. I don't know why but I felt like telling him the truth and I did. "No, I'm a virgin. Although someone has sucked my tits before I was drunk and my tits were clothed too and...Ahh!" I gasped when he placed his head on my tits and kissed the clothed breast.His two hands left my shoulder and went to my waist to pull me close. What the fuck!He kissed my breast like it was his to kiss. I wanted to stop him. I wanted to push him away but I did the opposite. I pulled him closer, my hands ruffling his hair as I pushed his head deep into my soft mound.When he looked up, there was no expression on his face."Next time you let someone do such again... you'll regret it." He warned and I found myself nodding like some Highschool teen.A few minutes passed and I snapped. Had I been dreaming when he did that?"What the fuck was that?!" I yelled. He looked unfazed like he was expecting me to yell at him."That was me erasing another man's mouth on you, he pushed away from the wall he leaned on. Heed my warning." He said, and was about to leave but I grabbed his suit jacket and pulled him forward.Our eyes connected when we heard a loud tear. I blinked at him, looking down at the suit jacket that had torn from where I held it.I swallowed. This was nothing but trouble."Miss Thawne." His words and voice carried anger.I let it go instantly and shifted backward. "I'm sorry," I begged."You just added another money you have to clear...Keep tearing and destroying things and I don't think you'll be able to leave this place at all." He glared at me.I gulped. I needed to know how much money I had to clear and how I would clear them, staying in this room.He smirked as If he knew my thoughts."Your father borrowed Three million dollars and you tore my five million booraldo suits....so Eight Million in total." He looked quite happy saying it.He got to the door and pulled it open..."And how you're going to be paying for it? Take a bath, on all fours on the bed...Naked." His smile widened. "I'll be back."TBCChapter 79 Disney World~Katherine When Alexander first suggested a weekend trip, I thought he meant something quiet โ 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, โDisney World! Disney World! Weโre going to Florida!โ 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 โa long overdue adventure,โ 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 Emiliaโs favorite pink dress and
Chapter 78 Happy Days~KatherineI had never felt this kind of peace before. Not the fragile kind that slips through your fingers when youโre 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.Amyโs voice rang through first. โWhy do you sound suspiciously happy?โโSuspiciously?โ Cherry cut in. โMore like dangerously. Spill it, Katherine.โI laughed, sinking into the couch. โFine. Iโll tell you everything. But you both have to promise not to scream in my ear.โโNo promises!โ they chorused together.So I to
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 Iโd 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 couldnโt let her sleep without knowing the truth. Not anymore.It burned deep in my soul, my hunger for this woman.โKatherine,โ 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.โWhat is it?โ she asked quietly.I held her closer, because I knew what I was about to say would bring back memories. โMariah,โ 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
Chapter 76 Weight~KatherineThe kiss had left my lips tingling, my whole body warm in a way I didnโt want to admit. I hadnโt planned for it to happen, but it did. And I liked it.The memory was still fresh and hot.The kiss wasnโt gentle. It wasnโt 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 didnโt.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
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 donโt 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.โAlexanderโฆโ I whispered, but the sound was lost as he deepened the kiss.He kissed li
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 Iโd made over the years. Dresses, coats, suits, even little childrenโs 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 โmama,โ 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
