Chapter 10

Marriage 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

    Katherine's POV Penelope sighed again, even more dramatic than she was before."Please don't say that to me."Those were Fake concern, fake innocence, pretending to be the best of all. Yet the women immediately comforted her, not me, showing how low they think. Aunt Vivian shook her head, like she was tbd victim and not me."Penelope, everyone knows the truth."I frowned at their display of concern, their dramatic self on show. What truth are they talking about? The older woman continued what she was saying. "You loved Dave so dearly like yourself."My stomach started boiling in anger at their stupidity. "And everyone expected you to marry him not a complete stranger."Penelope lowered her head, using the opportunity to play the victim perfectly."I made mistakes."Aunt Vivian hugged her to herself, to console her like a mother would to a her child."We all do my dear."I couldn't believe what I was watching before me. It felt ridiculous. Then Penelope whispered softly, but I sti

    Katherine's POV "Knowing this happened because of you."The words hit hard, as I was not expecting such from her. I know she's mean, but to this extent, rubbing everything on my face so I won't survive the guilt? Penelope noticed immediately that her words worked, so she smiled. Because that was exactly what she wanted, to break me into pieces. What a cruel woman."He saved you from getting killed"She sighed dramatically, adding more exaggeration to it. "Poor Dave."Anger slowly rose inside me as I listened to her speak. "Leave here right now."Her eyes widened, like she wasn't expecting me to stand up for myself against her abuse. "Excuse me?""You heard me right"She laughed softly, pushing me beyond my limit. "I was only stating facts, which you are very much aware of."I stood up again, ready to push her out before end make me run mad."Leave here."The room suddenly became tense, and of course, Penelope's smile vanished.That was the beginning of the interesting part of ou

    Katherine's POV Penelope's Return Game"And when you wake up..."My voice broke. "...you can yell at me for getting involved."Still, he said nothing and I smiled sadly. I couldn't think straight, as everything about me was crowded with the thought of him not making it at last. Unable to concentrate, I lowered my head beside his hand as I was already exhausted. Maybe just a few minutes because I found myself taking a nap, but I was startled and I woke up the next second. I glanced up slowly, looked down with my eyes wide open. Dave's fingers had moved, but it was just once, and brely noticeable, but somehow, I saw it. I know what my eyes saw. My heart exploded non stop inside my chest."Dave?"But there was no answer. I sat upright immediately."Dave!"Was I imagining things? Was I hallucinating from lack of sleep? Then suddenly, like a miracle, his fingers twitched again. And this time...I wasn't the only one who saw it. Because the heart monitor beside him suddenly started beepin

    Katherine's POV "Know what exactly?"She looked toward Dave, then back at me."Katherine."Her smile widened, and I couldn't help but wonder if they were genuine. "That man is hopelessly gone for you."My heart skipped violently, as that was the least thing I was expecting to hear from her. "What?"Evelyn laughed out loud. "Oh my God."I stared at her, and she stared back at me. Then suddenly laughed harde again."What is it?"I repeated, hoping to get a better response "You really don't see it.""See what exactly?""The way he looks at you."My face heated instantly she mentioned that."Evelyn.""No seriously."She grinned, and I wondered how she was able to pull up that comic side of her in this situation, acting all calm at the same time, when I was almost gobd with panic attack. "The man worships the ground you walk on.""That's ridiculous, and you can't be joking with such.""It isn't."I looked away, because hearing those words felt dangerous, very dangerous to me. My marri

    Katherine's POV"Mrs. Laurent, you should get some rest. You have tried already."I looked up immediately, only to see the nurse standing beside the hospital bed give me a sympathetic smile. It was meant to comfort me, as she meant no harm, but I hated that smile.People only gave that smile when something was wrong, and there was nothing that could be done to stop it. When someone was suffering, and they pitied you.And right now, I didn't want pity. All I wanted was for Dave to wake up."I'm fine," I replied quietly, not ready to drag the conversation further.The nurse glanced at the untouched food on the table. "You haven't eaten anything.""I'm not hungry.""You haven't slept either."I looked away from her stare, as that was true. For complete three days, Dave had been unconscious. Three long days without opening his eyes. Three miserable nights of leaving me all alone. Three days of hearing machines beep endlessly like he would never come back again. Three days of staring at h

    Almost Killed Katherine's POV "Katherine."I forced a polite smile, trying to act pleased seeing them. "Diana."She looked me over slowly, then laughed. The kind that is very irritating, and annoying at the same time. "I heard you got lucky."My smile disappeared before I knew it. There's no need showing her this side of me that I already buried deep the day I left them for good."What does that mean?""Oh come on. You are not a baby anymore, you should understand this without stress."She waved dismissively like it was nothing. "Let's not pretend, this isn't new anymore."Her voice became louder, now drawing attention of those close to us, exactly as she intended, always wanting to play the victim card. When in real life, she's very horrible. "You married a billionaire and escaped being homeless." Several nearby guests exchanged uncomfortable glances the moment she said that. I felt heat rising inside me, not embarrassment, and honestly, there was nothing I could do then not to
