A one night mistake with the cold billionaire

CHAPTER TWO.Speechless Katherine's POV My handbag dropped from my hand without my permission, my hands were under pressure and they needed to hold a neck and strangle it to death.Many things were coming through my head and I wished I could make the wish in my heart “kill a soul” My eyes swelled up in tears as I tried to control them. I didn’t want to believe what I just saw, but it was so clear and evident. It's a thing to talk about my mind whispers, I had to calm myself down for a moment to see if I would get some explanation.At the spot where I was standing, my clothes were dripping with excess water from the rain because I had observed the apartment before finally coming in.I wasn't bothered about the rain when I was coming, I just wanted to see him, but as it stands, there is already an end if I don't get an explanation.Both of them saw me but there was no real sign of feeling remorseful.I moved closer to my step-sister, Diana, and looked into her eyes. I couldn't maint

CHAPTER FOUR.A Night to Remember Katherine's POV The cup slipped exactly on my cloth as he grasped it from me, the contents pouring on the floor. I looked up to see who did that and maybe that would be the end of finding who to pour the whole anger on.At his gaze, I was speechless; he looked so handsome.I wasn't falling in love with him I was just admiring his look and how neat he looks.Now he reminds me of Felix again, I was about to ask, “What do you want”? But he was faster than I on this account.I wanted the shots for a few things; I wanted it to make me feel cold out there and, at the same time, make me forget about the sorrows of the day.“Hi, it looks like you are having a bad day,” He asked me.Was he sent or did he miss his route home, those were the whispers in my mind.His words touched me but I am not used to creating an emotional environment with a stranger.All I did was fix my gaze on him without saying a word then he continued saying “Life can be unpleasant you

Chapter 6 Unexpected Rescue Dave's POV "You should understand that this is a free meal, which everyone would gladly take," Katherine's adoptive father said, with no shame at all. "You can't truly reject...""Oh, I think you failed to comprehend something here."The very moment I cut in before he could finish, everywhere became dead silent. I slowly removed my phone from my ear, secured it inside my pocket, before staring hard at the man before me. Surprisingly, his eyes which were filled with mockery just moments ago, but now all I could see were uncertainty, and that's very good. Beside me, Katherine was no longer herself, as she looked frozen. Her eyes were swollen, which is from crying too much, her cheeks with stains from her tears, and I could see her shaking slightly. But in all of that, she was trying so hard to cover up, not to break again. That also irritated me. Though not actually her, but the entire family that put her through such. The audacity of waking up one rando

Chapter 8Uncertainty Katherine's POV “Katherine… would you actually consider marrying me?”The moment I heard that from him, my breath completely hitched. As I stood there, thinking of what he just said to me, Dave's eyes never left me. They remained glued on me, like I would disappear if he as much as blink. He was anticipating my answer, but I had none to give him because of how impromptu, and unexpected his proposal was. The look in his eyes, weren't out of pity, or mockery that I was a mess. It was the one demandingly for answers. Behind us, my family stood in shock, as none of them understood what was really going in. Then, I blinked slowly, hoping to wake up from my dream. I really hoped that he wasn't doing all that to get back at Diana or my family. "What...?""I only asked a question that needs an answer," Dave said calmly. It was still strange to me how his voice remained calm in such situation. But looking into his blue eyes, the intensity inside almost made me lose my

Chapter 10Marriage of Inconvenience Katherine's POV “Relax, Katherine,” he whispered near my ear. “I’m trying to behave myself.”Just hearing him say that made my face burn immediately. This man...How did we get here so easily? Someone that is known to be so cold, suddenly become this teasing?He moved away casually like nothing had happened, keeping me on my toes. All these while, my poor heart that is too fragile, was struggling to survive. It wasn't long, Aunt Maria too the lead, taking me upstairs. But the moment we entered the second floor corridor… I slowed down, because before me were different portraits. My eyes wandered slowly across them, as I tried to recognize even one out of the many faces all over there. Then suddenly, I saw something that made me stop walking. My chest started beating unexpectedly in an uncontrollable way. It was the picture of a woman. Not just any kind of woman, but a beautiful one with blonde hair, blue eyes and an elegant smile.For some reas
