LOGINThere are moments when love doesn’t come with fireworks—just quiet words that hit harder than any argument ever could. But then again… sometimes silence hides the loudest confessions. Let’s just say, if Alexander thinks this was his victory moment… he might want to fasten his seatbelt. 😏💋
KATHERINE'S POV I never knew what the exact definition of awkwardness meant until this moment.The house was silent, save for the occasional excited yells of Franklin as he played his favorite video game in his bedroom upstairs.The mistake I made was choosing to stay downstairs when Franklin suddenly decided he needed a change of environment to play his game better.It never crossed my mind that Beth was still in the house or that she was a neat freak who was obsessed with cleaning the house.She walked into the sitting room some minutes after Franklin walked upstairs and nodded at me before rearranging the house and I was left with nothing to do but stare at her as she worked.Of course I could just walk upstairs and leave her to work but I figured she might assume that I don't like her if I do so, that's if she doesn't already think so.So I sat like a little kid who was told to stay put and simply played with my phone avoiding looking up or making any contact with her.My boredom
ALEXANDER'S POV I watched him with clouded eyes, the way he stood confidently like he belonged here. Something about that smug look on his face made me feel like punching him, to feel the way his skin sagged against my knuckles.“Alex! Funny running into you,” He said in what sounded like a jovial tone but I could tell that it was everything but it.“I know right? What are the odds of you running into me at my own company? We seem to run into each other too much. I'm starting to think we're soulmates,” I responded dryly.He wasn't immune to my comment and scoffed before stepping into the elevator. “Charles,” Henry acknowledged him. I was quick to notice that he didn't spare him the formality he would have given anyone else and I was grateful for it.“Hello,” Charles nodded back at him and turned his attention to me, “I was on my way to see you and I ran into some…I don't know, fans of yours?”I had to stop myself from lurching at him and smacking that look off his face. He must r
ALEXANDER'S POV I couldn't lift my hand. It felt stiff as I tried to turn to the other side of the bed and the responding sharp pain immediately woke me up. The space next to me was wrinkled and empty which had me up immediately. I ignored the sharp pain in my dead hand as I glanced around the room worriedly. Katherine was supposed to be next to me on the bed but she wasn't and while a part of me knew that she could probably be downstairs with Franklin, another part of me couldn't help but fear that something might have happened. That she left me. I groaned softly and nursed my hands as I grabbed the shirt next to me and threw it on before walking out of the room. The sound of someone talking downstairs fueled my hopes that Katherine was still around and it wasn't until I got to the foot of the stairs that I realized who it was. “And you'll have cookies after eating breakfast but not now, okay?” The new housekeeper was crouched in front of Franklin scolding him for trying to
KATHERINE’S POV I've known Alex for all sorts of things; stubborn, possessive, easily provoked, but I definitely had no idea that he was into this type of thing until he asked me to strip. Contrary to what I told him, I did feel slightly humiliated and embarrassed when he stood there watching me naked without saying anything but for some reason, I got bold the minute I realized what this was all about. Alexander Blake, youngest CEO on Forbes list, most sought after bachelor, and literally one of the hottest, if not the hottest, man in Texas, was feeling jealous of a random English Guy. Not that Charles wasn't a big deal himself, but the fact that he was this mad at me just because of a single picture posted online by the paparazzi made me feel … I don't know… special? I smiled and took slow steps towards him, the look in his eyes changed as he watched me approach him with barely nothing on me but my bra and pants. “Are you jealous, Alex?” I asked with the confidence that I felt t
ALEXANDER’S POV “Where did you go, Katherine?” I asked in a low voice and moved closer to her, it didn't escape my attention that she took a step backwards and swallowed hard. She was scared. Good. “A… Alex…” she stuttered. So she suddenly couldn't find the words to say, right? “Where. Did. You. Go?” She finally stared back at me and I could see the way her chest rose and fell and the way she bit her lower lip. “I was with Hazel and then.. I…” No. Don't you fucking lie to me, Katherine. “And then,” she sucked in her breath, “And then I met with Charles.” I don't know why I felt disappointed when she finally told me the truth. Maybe it was because I half expected it to be a lie, I expected her to say that the images all over the Internet were deepfake and that she was only with Hazel. But it was true. She really did meet and kiss Charles. The silence between us grew and when she realized that I wasn't saying anything, she took a step forward. “But I promise you Alex th
ALEXANDER'S POV Henry called while I was tucking Franklin to sleep and I quickly ended the call because I didn't want to wake Franklin who was already drowsing. But his calls were persistent and even though I turned off the sound of my phone, I could feel it vibrating through my pants. It wasn't until about ten minutes later when I was certain that Franklin was sound asleep that I finally brought the phone out of my pocket and stared at it. Fourteen missed calls, ten notifications and a text message from Katherine. What the hell..? I was just about to call Katherine and if she's okay when Henry's call came in. “Were you planning on blasting my phone??” I whisper aggressively to him as I tiptoed out of Frankie's room and closed the door gently, “What the hell, Henry? Why don't you just call me to death? This had better be important.” He sighed heavily on the other side and I could almost hear him shake his head. “Judging by the sound of your voice, I can tell that you have no
