Torn Between ~

Katherine

I didn’t sleep that night.

Every time I closed my eyes, Scar’s voice echoed in my ears, his hand crushing my cheek.

Five years ago, I was fierce, bratty. I swear I could smack a judge on his seat and get away with it. I was calm but with a little bit of trouble here and there but now...I could barely sit without crying.

I feel pathetic!

I've been thinking about everything happening in my life.

And then there's Alexander. His threat to take the children.

Would he have taken them had I not given in? A part of me knew he said that because he wanted me to be triggered to answer the damn question, but would he have gone through had I been stubborn?

I wouldn't lie, though. I agreed because I didn't want my kids to look behind their backs anytime they were coming back from school, or at school, where they should be relaxed and happy.

Maybe I also did it for me.

But lying right now and thinking abou

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Dear Old Mariah

    Chapter 71 Dear Old Mariah~KatherineAlexander had gone into his meeting almost two hours ago, leaving me and the children in his office. It was already noon and because we didn't pack lunch, we had to get it.“Mama,” Emilia called, and I looked down on her, tugging my trousers. “I’m hungry.”“Me too. Papa said he’ll be done soon, but I don’t want to wait anymore." Alessio said.I laughed softly, though I was hungry too. The meeting might drag on longer, and I didn’t want the kids to start complaining when Alexander came back. “Alright,” I said finally. “We’ll go get something to eat. But just something light, yes? Not too much. We’ll bring some back for your father too.”That seemed to brighten their faces. Emilia clapped her hands in excitement while Dante already started guessing what type of food Alexander would like."Does Papa like Rice and Chicken? I love chicken. Everyone should love chicken, it's delicious. Even v

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Possessive

    Chapter 70 Possessive~AlexanderShe was warm in my arms.The first thing I registered when my eyes opened was the faint weight pressed against me, soft hair tickling my chin, her small body curled into my chest like she belonged there. Katherine. She did belong in my arms.I didn’t move. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel the need to. My arms were locked around her waist, protective, unwilling to let her go.Cause I didn't want to and God damned me if I did.Her breathing was steady but I felt the moment she woke up. The slight hitch in her voice and the way her body stiffened.And then I felt her stare, it was hard not to open my eyes at that time cause I wanted to look at her and find out what she was thinking about. She tried to untangle my arms without disturbing me, and I tightened my hold on purpose.She whispered my name, almost too low to hear. It did something to me.If only I got to wake up like this ev

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Designs

    Chapter 69 Designs~KatherineAlexander’s office was huge. Very huge, almost the same space as our apartment back at home. The windows stretched from the floor all the way up, and you could see the whole city moving like tiny ants below.It felt so surreal, staring at the world from this point. I turned to watch the children and Dahila stepped back.Dahila was the guard from before and apparently, Alexander's most trusted personnel.I had seen him many times already but he was yet to say a word.He didn't talk much, just a little yes and no, even with Alexander. Alexander had told me Dahila was skilled, more skilled than most of the men around him, and the way he carried himself made me believe it.He always seemed....tense, like he's waiting for something to happen.I felt sorry for him. The world was a dangerous place, yes! But having your heart in your sleeve around everyone and everything would only give you hyperte

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Our company

    Chapter 68 Our Company ~KatherineThe first thing I felt was warmth. It's been a long time since I felt this good waking up.Something heavy but soft pressed around me, and for a second I thought it was one of the kids crawling into bed with me like they always do.But when I opened my eyes, I froze.I was not in my room. I was in the living room, on the couch, and right under me was.... Alexander.I gasped silently. My head was resting on his chest, my body curled against him like I couldn't get enough of the warmth.His arm was locked tight around my waist, holding me close even in sleep.I blinked hard, trying to remember what happened last night. I remembered him hugging me. I remembered how he patted my back when I cried and whispered that I should sleep. But the rest… nothing.What happened after that? I couldn't remember.He looked so peaceful in his sleep.Alexander Vitali, the man who terrified half the country, the wo

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   A line we can't....

    Chapter 67 A Line We Can’t Cross ~KatherineI waited.The children had gone to bed early today and the house was quiet except for the hum of the air conditioning and the occasional step of the guards outside.When the door finally opened, I knew.Alexander walked in with his jacket slung over one arm like he hadn’t just turned my life upside down in front of the entire world. His tie was loosened, and he looked tired.He paused when he saw me sitting there, but only for a second.“You stayed up.” His voice was groggy and hoarse.What did he do today?I stood, crossing my arms tightly. “ You're late and what did you do?" "Hmm?""You heard the question, Alexander." "I'm sorry, I didn't get you. I'm late because I worked too much tonight cause of a deal I have to attain, and I didn't touch any woman, that's what you're asking about?" He narrowed his eyes like he didn't know what I was talking about.He's nothing but a master planner.

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   The World Knows

    Chapter 66 The World Knows ~KatherineAt first, I thought he would respect my words.He promised—for the children, only for the children.But Alexander always found a way to twist things, to bend them until the meaning was his and not mine.Like this morning at breakfast.We were all gathered at the long dining table, Emilia swinging her legs under her chair. She does that every time she hates her legs in the air rather than on the floor, but she wasn't old enough, and she wouldn't want to use a little chair. She said it made her look too small.I was buttering bread when Alexander leaned closer, brushing his fingers deliberately against mine.I froze. His touch was warm, and I loved the way his hand folded and unclenched with the veins running through each finger.“Mama, Papa kissed your hand!” Emilia squealed, clapping her hands like it was the most magical thing in the world.God help me.I glared at Alexander, ready to yank
