LOGINKatherine's Pov I stared at him, completely dumbfounded. I was so shocked by his words that for a second, I couldn't even find my voice. I looked at him like he was an alien that had just dropped from the sky. “Are you out of your mind?!” I finally burst out, a harsh laugh escaping my lips. “Damon, you are absolutely delusional! I don't even know why I loved you in the first place! You think I did this to get you back?! You think I want a piece of garbage like you back in my life?!” Damon’s smile faltered a bit, his eyes blinking in confusion. “Katherine, don't be like that. I know you’re just angry because of what happened earlier. I know I slapped you, and I’m so sorry for that. I was just confused by Hailey’s lies. But now that she’s gone, we can be together again. You don't have to pretend anymore.” “Pretend?!” I yelled, my anger flaring up again. I stepped away from Nathaniel for a brief second to point a furious finger directly at Damon’s chest. “Listen to me carefully,
Katherine's Pov “No! Damon, no! It’s not like that!” Hailey continued to beg, her hands shaking as she tried to reach for his hands to calm him down. “Please, just listen to me for one second!” “Get the hell away from me!” Damon roared. He violently pushed her away from him. The force of his push sent Hailey sliding across the polished floor. She let out a sharp cry as she fell flat on her back, her perfect hairstyle completely ruined, her white dress covered in dirt from the floor. “You are nothing but a slut!” Damon screamed, pointing a shaking finger at her. “A disgusting, cheap slut! You played me for a fool! You made me look like an idiot in front of everyone!” Sylvia, who had been standing on the side in absolute shock, finally snapped out of it. Seeing her son completely break down and hearing the clear proof from the recording, her protective motherly instincts turned into pure rage toward Hailey. She marched over to where Hailey lay on the floor, her eyes blazing with
Katherine's Pov “Sounds familiar, Hailey?” My voice rang out, stopping Hailey in her tracks. I continued playing the recording. “And yeah, I'm dating multiple other men at the same time. So what?! They have actual taste, and they give me exactly what I want. Damon is just a stepping stone for my family's social status. He's a means to an end.” Hailey's voice from the recorder was clear and unmistakable. Even if she wanted to deny it, she also knew that this wasn't something she could claim to be AI or something like that. It was the exact conversation she had with me in that café. The truth was that, I had asked Nathaniel to help me investigate Hailey and the men she had been seeing. It wasn't too hard, as she hasn't exactly been low-key about it, it's just that Damon was very stupid. He took footages from hotels and places she had visited and I made a slideshow of it. The silence that fell over the room after the audio stopped was heavy. The pictures on the screen were a
Katherine's Pov “We don't care about your garbage, Katherine!” Hailey yelled, her voice completely losing its sweet edge now, sounding sharp and ugly. “Just leave! Nobody wants you here!” I smiled, reaching into my purse and pulling out a small, sleek black remote control. I held it up for everyone to see. “I’m ready to show you the gift right now.” Hailey frowned, his eyes darting from the remote to my face, his possessive anger turning into confusion. “What is that? What are you doing?” “Just giving you a little entertainment for your big night. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.” I said softly. I pressed the large red button on the remote and immediately, the massive, state-of-the-art television screen that hung on the center wall of the hall flickered to life with a loud buzz. Every single person in the hall automatically turned their heads to look at the screen. A picture popped up on the screen and it was a picture of Hailey. She was in a dimly lit hotel room, sitting on
Katherine's Pov I spoke as slowly as I could, making sure that my words were drilled into his head as much as possible. “Do you think you're the only one who gets to fuck around as much as they want? You think you're the only one with a sexual drive? While you were busy calling and texting me, I was busy getting fucked to my heart’s desires.” My words got their intended actions as Damon shrieked, his face twisting into something else. “No! Shut up!” He held my shoulders and pushed me back, looking at my face, but the way he held me made my clothes shift a bit. “You're lying! You're just trying to make me angry, you…” He paused, his pupils trembling as he glanced at my neck and at the marks that although most of it had faded away, some were still a little visible. They were marks that Nathaniel had left on my neck from the intense sex we had the last time. His hands shook and somehow, he couldn't tear his eyes away from it. I wasn't able to stop the embarrassing smile that a
Katherine's Pov The silence and the tension that stretched across the hall was so thick you could practically cut it with a knife. For a second, nobody even breathed. Even the other wealthy people who had been whispering and staring at me all went quiet. “What?” Damon’s eyes went wide, his face turning as pale as a sheet of paper as he spoke first. “What did you just say?” I directed my attention to Damon. His expression looked so comical that I almost laughed out of sheer excitement. “Since Hailey asked me to come here with a plus one, I felt, what better way to show that I have a plus one other than bringing my boyfriend?” I repeated, my voice dropping into a sweet, innocent tone. I squeezed Nathaniel’s arm tightly, leaning into his solid, warm chest. “So I came here with him. I also wanted to use this opportunity to introduce you all to my boyfriend, not that you don't already know him. After all, he's your brother.” I gave him a closed eye smile, my lips widening into
Katherine's POVI watched him carefully, keeping my eyes locked on his face to catch even the slightest change in his expression. Damon was his brother. They shared the same blood, the same family name. No matter what kind of history we had built in this office, there was absolutely no logical reas
Nathaniel's Pov “Katherine…” I called out softly again. She didn't move at first, she kept her head turned to the side, her teeth clamping down so hard on her bottom lip that I was afraid she was going to draw blood all over again. But slowly, she turned her head back to face me, the tears were
Nathaniel's Pov The glowing blue numbers at the bottom corner of my computer screen read 10:15 PM. The main office floor of the company was completely dead. The sharp, bright lights overhead had been automatically dimmed, throwing long, hollow shadows across the rows of empty desks. Normally, by
Katherine's Pov I sat still on a very uncomfortable wooden chair, staring across the large desk, at the principal and the rest of the school board that were currently inside the office. The room felt very hot, and the air was thick with a lot of tension. Every single eye in the room was fixed on
