~KATERINA~

It was silent on the other end of the call for a second before the phone began to ring. I could feel my own uneven heartbeat in my ear. The phone rang once, twice, thrice then the person on the other end picked up. My breath caught in my throat when I heard scrambling of papers on the other side.

“ Sweetie pea.” My throat tightened when I heard my dad's coaxing voice. Was he drunk or something?

I couldn't remember when was the last time that he called me that. It was probably when I was five or six after mom's death.Tears burned in my eyes and my vision became blurry. What happened? Why was he warming up to me after being distant for years?

I couldn't help it but question myself. My father became distant after my mother's death. Just like me, something broke inside him. It seemed as though my mother had gone with all the happiness. He lost himself in work as an escapism to the harsh reality. My stepmother and Monalisa took advantage of it and always made me look bad in my

    KATERINA It was silent inside the courtroom. I could feel my heart drumming in my ear, nervous. It felt as though time was moving in slow motion. Slowly, I raised my head to check the time on the old-fashioned clock in the courtroom and noticed it was ten minutes until the hearing began.The time didn't help me feel any better, it was 7:50am and the hearing would begin exactly at 8:00am. All the parties were present, ready for the court’s proceeding. I momentarily turned my head towards the other party, Stephanie Mackenzie, the last name she would likely drop today.That is if the court rules in our favour. Unlike the last time, she had this look on her face which I couldn't quite wrap my head around. She looked nervous, but she was doing a good job at hiding it behind that fake smile. She looked a little thinner than the last time I saw her. As if she hasn't been eating healthy lately or- maybe she had been drinking too much that she was supposed to.A tingle of silver tugged on my

    KATERINA THREE DAYS LATER Staring at my reflection in the vanity mirror, a deep breath escaped my lips. A breath that I had been holding onto for the past three days. I could feel that unsettling feeling at the tip of my stomach.The day that we all have been waiting for was finally here. However, we didn't know what was waiting ahead of us. For a second, I wished I could be a fortune teller so that…My mind jolted back to the present when a soft knock on the door cut through the quiet air. Blowing a breath, I granted whoever was knocking the permission to enter.The door clicked open and David walked in. He was wearing a black tuxedo from our latest collection which was launched a few days ago. His hair was brushed away from the face and his grey eyes were bright. His lips curled up into a smile as he swept his eyes over me, and I couldn't help but smile back, nervous.Just like he promised, he was here to support me. “You look beautiful,” He complimented. I was wearing an officia

    Chapter 102 KATERINA Releasing a deep sigh, I try to get rid of the heaviness that is rooted deep in my heart. Still, I could feel it, hard to shove it off with a quick exhale. I knew why. Too bad when it comes to saying goodbye. I was crouching on the triplets level, looking at their sad faces and that didn't help me to feel any better. It only complicated it. I wish I could spend one more day with them but…as much as I wanted to, I just couldn't. We'd have to go back to Aurelian city because the second hearing is in three days. We needed to prepare for the day thoroughly, to make sure that everything was ready before the actual day. “Mommy would like to stay with you a little longer but…” I paused to catch a breath, then released a breath. “She has to go back to Aurelian city to take care of some businesses.” The corner of my lips curved in a subtle smile. A smile that barely reached my eyes. To be honest, I would rather stay in Elysium city with the triplets than go back to

    A FEW DAYS LATER KATERINA I crouched to Bella's level, taking her little shaky hands in my and gave them a gentle squeeze. Even though she hadn't said a word, I could see fear in those blue eyes. I hated to see my little girl so scared of life and what is awaiting her ahead. I hated it even more that…there was nothing I could do about it. Releasing a slow sigh, the side of my lips lifted up into a smile. A smile that barely reached my eyes. “You don't need to be afraid. It's going to be okay my love. Mommy is right here with you. Mommy isn't going to leave you because you're my princess.” I said, giving her hand another gentle squeeze. She released a nervous breath, her lips curving into a smile. The fear in her eyes faded away when she heard my words, squeezing back my hand. “Here is your teddy bear Bella, I brought it with me. When you feel scared, just squeeze it and everything is going to be okay.” Asher told her sister, handing her the pink teddy bear which was one of

    LUCASI stiffened, inhaling sharply. Arabella's question hit me squarely in my guts, harsh, brutal, and so…innocent.I was expecting her to ask any questions like, how old are you? However, I wasn't expecting her to ask me such a deep, personal question. My mind travelled back to the previous day. I recalled how she silently watched me, looking at my hair and stealing glances on my face but whenever I caught her staring, she would look away shyly. I didn't have any idea she was analyzing my features.I swallowed, my heart thumping wildly against my ribcage, my throat tight. To be honest, I couldn't remember the last time I felt this nervous when someone asked me a question. I’m always ready with an answer, prepared. However, Arabella’s question rendered me speechless.It was a simple question yet hard to answer because I didn't know how to. It was quiet for a while, that I could feel my own heartbeat in my chest, uneven, chaotic. I heaved a deep sigh, then carefully changed our pos

    KATERINA My grip on the tray tightened even more when I heard Luca's words, my knuckles turned white, burning from the pressure. My memories travelled back to four years ago, the night of the incident that led us to where we were at the moment. I recalled how surprised I was when Lucas showed the message to me. How I tried to convince him that I wasn't the one who sent the message. How I pleaded to him to believe me but…he never wanted to listen to anything that I said. I recalled the chilling look in those blue eyes. How he gazed at me as if I was the worst creature that had ever existed. I recalled his words, painful and sharp, piercing my heart like shards of ice, leaving it heavy and numb. I bit the insides of my cheeks till I tasted iron in my mouth, blood. The corner of my lips curved into a smile, bitter, that barely reached my eyes, way too far. “I see it took you long enough to realise that I was saying the truth.” I laughed. No! It wasn't funny. I was trying to
