Kate waited patiently for Harry's return from France. His consistent letters filled with many pending promises never made Kate doubt his love for her. She didn't mind the years that passed her by and eventually becoming a spinster. Soon the letters stopped coming, Harry also stopped replying to any of Kate's letters and it looked like he'd totally vanished from the face of the earth. Until one fateful day, news about Harry's death reached the household and all of Kate's dreams and aspirations were also dead that very day. Now passed the age of receiving young and eligible suitors, Kate became a lonely wallflower residing in a corner of the Monterrey mansion, receiving everyone's pity and scrutiny for simply being unlucky and the cause of Harry's death. Then came the return of Harry's elder half-brother, Edmund, now a widower - the same man whom Kate had rejected over fourteen years ago for Harry. Kate is surprised by Edmund's changed personality; charming, cultured, handsome and intelligent along with a lot of achievements from abroad - the complete opposite of the uncouth boy from years ago. Fate brings both Kate and Edmund closer, but is it really fate at work or is it someone else from behind the scene? And when Kate starts to fall in love with Edmund, will Edmund help her pursue her once buried dreams or will he clip her wings into submission forever?

Bared To Mr Edmund 48 - Ophelia
Kate saw the lady named Ophelia looking worried as she ran towards Edmund. Edmund had a look of sheer relief on his face the moment he saw her. Like all of his worries and problems had been solved just by Ophelia's presence. That somehow didn't sit well with Kate. But she knew she shouldn't feel that way towards a woman she didn't even know. “Sir Edmund, what's wrong? Why do you look so upset after your travels?” Ophelia asked. “Melanie has locked herself up in her mother's room. And she's not listening to anybody.” Edmund explained, without being arrogant. Ophelia blinked and immediately rushed towards the door. Kate stepped out of her way in time before Ophelia could bump straight into her. Ophelia came to stand next to the door and knocked softly. “Melanie, dear? It's me, Ophelia. What's the matter, child?” Melanie spoke out almost immediately. “Ophelia! You are here...” And after a couple of seconds, everyone heard the door click, then the door slowly opened. Melanie stood by

“Please, come right inside, mistress.” Kate looked up and noticed Jonathan staring at her with a smile. But then this didn't feel like her home and she certainly didn't feel welcomed at all. “Actually, Miss Melanie has had a difficult time accepting her mother isn't going to be with us anymore. And that's the reason for her reaction to you and Sir Edmund's marriage. But mind you, the former mistress also wanted this.” Jonathan said, but that didn't make Kate feel any better. Melanie didn't like her because she believed Kate would take everything from her. “So, please don't cry and become affected by Sir Edmund's words. Melanie is his entire life.” Jonathan added, and it's only then Kate blinked and realized tears had been falling from her eyes non stop. Kate quickly wiped her tears. What was she expecting in the first place. For Edmund to hold her arm and take her with him into his home? Or to smile at her while calling her his wife? Kate didn't know why she was affected so much by

A carriage was waiting for them just outside the train station. Kate couldn't help but grow more fascinated by the beauty of London. Her eyes sparkled and the endless possibilities of having anything here flooded inside her mind. Edmund stared at her for a moment. Her expression was angelic and innocent in some way. Like a naive baby just stepping out of the house for the very first time. He inhaled when his eyes spotted the red hickey mark on her swan-like pale neck, and memories of how he mounted her and took her without restraints played in his mind. He didn't just stop after the first time, but throughout the ride down to London, he took her under him in between hours. He wasn't supposed to do so, but then his desired betrayed him. He wasn't supposed to get her to think that she had him under his control, because now that might be the case. But then he could easily put her back in her place. He didn't know what was going to happen in future, but surely he knew he wouldn't let his

I was mortified when he said those words. His mother did this to him? I froze in bed, in utter shock that for a moment I thought he was joking, but the sadist look on his face said otherwise, and he wasn't joking.I swallowed and looked away. I honestly didn't know what to say after hearing that from him. And so he did kill his own mother. Was his mother not well or something... but something definitely happened.“Yeah, she was the worst mother. Always pretending like she loved me and I was her pride and joy. Maybe I was when I was born, but then she hated the sight of me. Because apparently I never gave her the satisfaction that she thought she could have after having me.” He said and then he laughed out so loudly that I cringed, pulling the sheets up to my neck and almost buried my face in between the sheets. He looked like a psycho while talking like that about his mother. “And you know what? You remind me of her. Also a pretender just like she was.” He smirked and me, and I took
