LUCAS

“ Kate, wait…” She hung up without giving me a chance to speak. It was clear she didn't want to talk to me anymore. Well, at least I heard her voice. That was an assurance that she was doing okay. Even though it hurt a little bit that she had hung up on me and asked me to never call her again.

I’m glad that she was doing alright.

The memories of how she almost fell on the concrete floor flashed in my mind, making my heart jump in my throat as though it was happening at the moment.

I don’t know how it happened but…I found myself on my feet because of the Adrenaline rush, holding her in my arms so tightly and never wanting to let her go. My heart pounded wildly against my ribcage as though it would escape from my chest in the next second. I couldn’t recall when was the last time that I was that scared of losing someone.

Watching as Katerina’s life flashed in front of my eyes was far worse than a nightmare. I couldn’t imagine losing her. The mere thought of

    KATERINA THREE DAYS LATER It has already been three days since Lucas visited the company and the encounter with Stephanie. I scolded my secretary about giving my number to Lucas and she apologized for it, saying she thought we were best friends because he showed her the pictures of us together and we looked so happy, making her convinced and that is why she gave him the number. I asked her to never repeat the mistake again, telling her I won't be too nice next time. I asked Lucas never to call me ever again and I’m glad that he listened because he never bothered me again, which I was grateful for. For Stephanie, we have never bumped into each other again since the encounter at the mall. My lawyer is still following up on the case, updating me the progress. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have begun our descent in Elysium city. Please turn off all portable electronic devices in preparation for landing, be certain your back is straight up and your seatbelt is fastened,” The plane attenda

    KATERINA “Good morning,” my lips curved into a big smile. The five of us ended up sleeping on one bed, in Paula’s room. The triplets wanted to sleep with me in one bed because they had missed me so much. For me, I wanted to sleep with Paula, because of how I was feeling yesterday after the intimate conversation that we had.So, we decided that we’re going to sleep on one bed because it's big enough to fit all of us. “Good morning mother,” Arabella said happily. “Hmmm” Asher said, trying to wake up. “Good morning.” Alexander said lazily, rubbing his eyes. The three little ones looked so cute and I couldn’t help but smile to myself. “shhh…” Grandma is still sleeping. Bella whispered, placing her hand on her lips as she gestured for us to keep quiet. “Let's go back to our room and let grandma have some rest.” I whispered back. She stirred in sleep but thankfully, she didn’t wake up. Paula is usually a light sleeper. However, the medication that sh

    KATERINA Laughter filled the dining hall as we talked about everything and nothing. Paula’s eyes welled up as we each assured her of our unwavering support in her fight against cancer. David, Camilla, and the triplets emphasized their commitment to stand by her through every challenge, every setback, and every victory. She hugged each of us tightly, thanking us for the support and unconditional love. She carefully placed the strands of our hair into a plastic bag, promising to take good care of it. I turned to look at Paula, and she offered me a warm smile. Seeing her so happy warmed my heart. She deserves all the happiness in the world; she’s truly a good person. I hoped the heavens would bless her with a long life because… I still have so much to learn from her. My gaze shifted to the twins, who were chatting and joking with David. A smile touched my lips as I watched them

    KATERINA I froze in my tracks when I heard Arabella’s words. My throat was dry since I didn’t know how to respond. She looked so happy and I could tell that she enjoyed the conversation. What they talked about, only the heavens know. I thought she was talking to David because sometimes she calls him to say goodnight. However, I never expected the caller to be Lucas.Not even in my wildest dreams. “The phone was calling and you were in the bathroom. I thought it was uncle David.” Bella said in a little cute voice, pouting cutely and the corner of my lips curved into a smile. I walked to her on the bed, “ It's okay.” I said, planting a kiss on her forehead then gently took the phone. The phone was ongoing and I could tell that Lucas was listening to our conversation.I put the call on hold so that I could talk to Bella in privacy. “Let me talk to…Lucas.” I stuttered, my lips curving into a small smile. Arabella nodded in understandi

    LUCAS An hour had passed by since Katerina had hung up on me. I was still in the study room, sitting on the highly backed chair, holding the phone in my hand. I should be sleeping right now because I have an early meeting tomorrow with the new investors. However, I was still wide awake and there was no sign of falling asleep anytime soon. I mean, how does someone sleep peacefully without a care in the world when a real war is going on in his/her head? ‘I don't have a daddy.’ The little girl's voice rang in my head over and over again, making it hard for me to concentrate. I heaved a deep sigh, running my fingers through my already messy hair. Pushing the chair back, I stood up and walked to the window. I stared out of the window blankly, thoughts buzzing in my mind and for a second, I was afraid that I would go insane. The door clicked open and I didn't bother to turn around because I already knew who it was. Andrew joined me at the window, standing beside me. “ Here is a cup of

    KATERINA TWO DAYS LATER Sitting on the high backed chair behind the vintage table, I squinted my eyes on the laptop, accessing the new sketching that the team had sent to me not long ago. It was on a Monday and I was back in Aurelian city. The weekend with the triplets was fun. It was hard to say goodbye to them. However, I had no other choice. Arabella cried because she wanted to come with me to Aurelian city. It broke my heart as I watched tears stream down her cheeks. I wanted to bring her with me but…I just couldn't. “ Say hello to your friend Lucas.” Her words echoed in my head and I took a deep breath. Arabella asked me where Lucas comes from and I had no choice but to tell her the truth. I didn't want to lie to her because I know a child never forgets. Lucas tried to call me a couple of times but I didn't pick any of his calls. I wanted him to know that I meant It when I said I don't want to talk to him ever again. I guess he has never changed, he's stubborn just lik

    AUTHOR’S POV Lucas listened to the clip for the hundredth time, and each time it replayed, he got more furious. The voices were clear, and he could hear Monalisa threatening Katerina. Katerina sent the video to Lucas with the caption “You need to control your wife because she seems out of control. The threats she made are serious and I can sue her for it” it read. The words were in capital and it was clear that Katerina was mad about it. If Lucas didn't have the recording, he would say that Katerina was lying. However, the recording in his hand proved otherwise. His jaw twitched as anger boiled in his veins, the hold around his phone tightening until the screen cracked. “ You can have him all for yourself because I don't care about him!” The words were like ice shards which pierced Luca's heart into a million pieces, leaving it cold and numb. Lucas knows damn well that Katerina let the past go. However , there was this stupid part of him that thought maybe…just maybe, there was a

    KATERINA Standing on the balcony at my apartment, I stared at the tall building which was miles away. It was illuminated dimly under the moonlight. My family's company, now owned by none other than Stephanie. My heart ached inside my chest when I gave it a thought. I recalled how my dad sacrificed everything to build the company. Those late nights that he used to spend in the study room, carefully crafting ways to improve the company's performance so that it could thrive even more. Those early meetings, sacrificing sleep to make sure that the company was doing well, exhausting business trips around the world, sleepless nights, blood and tears had gone to waste.I couldn't believe the once famous company was now struggling, on the verge of bankruptcy. All thanks to Stephanie and her greedy nature. I checked the time on my phone and that's when I noticed missed calls from Lucas. He has been calling me nonstop but I didn't receive any of his calls. I sent the video t

    AUTHOR'S POVThe atmosphere in the courtroom was thick with anticipation, silence taking over as everyone patiently waited for the judge to give his ruling over the preliminary hearing. There were only two possible decisions and the judge could only choose one. Either his rule leans on the defending side, meaning the case would be closed and there would be no further hearing. Or…she leans on Katerina’s side, giving her a chance to prove to the judge and the entire world that indeed, Stephanie was behind her Dad's tragic death.Kate sucked in a tight breath, trying to brace herself for whatever had to come. She gave it her all. She told the court what needed to be told, not leaving any stone unturned. She believes that she did her best to convince the judge and everyone in the court that Stephanie is the real culprit. If it were up to her to make the ruling, she would give the case another chance since she strongly believes that if she's giv

    KATERINA It was silent inside the courtroom, even a pin-drop could be heard. Both prosecution and defence parties had settled down, patiently waiting for the judge to enter the room so that the hearing could begin. The air was thick with tension, anticipation and hope as the seconds passed by. There were exactly five minutes left before 9am.Katerina released a deep breath , trying her best to calm her racing heart. As though David sensed her discomfort, he touched Kate’s hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. Katerina turned her head momentarily to look at David and flashed him a gentle smile, silently thanking him for his unwavering support.On the other hand, Stephanie looked so relaxed, as though she wasn't the one accused of murder. Her shoulders were relaxed and there was a hint of smile across her face. She turned to look at her lawyer and they exchanged knowing looks.Lucas eyed Kate from the corner of his eyes. He saw how Katerina clung to th

    KATERINAIt wasn't easy. I almost gave up the fight but…thanks to the heavens I had people who gave me strength to keep on fighting! David, Paula and my lawyer gave me the strength to keep on going, and the day that we have all been waiting for was finally here.Melissa's death was still a mystery, the person who knocked her with the car is yet to be found. Her mom hates me to the guts, blaming me for her daughter's death. I chose to remain silent, accepting the blame because I know how hard it's for her. It's hard for both of us…Heaving a deep sigh, I stared at my reflection in the mirror and for a second , I didn't recognise the person who was looking right back at me. I looked pale and exhausted. Even though I had applied light make-up, the dark circles on my eyes were still visible. It was hard for me to fall asleep last night.Each time I closed my eyes, I woke up to nightmares. The death of Melissa triggered the memories of my parent’s tragic deaths. My mind jolted back to

    KATERINA THE FOLLOWING DAY, SUNDAY I stared at the cold unmoving body, my vision blurry with tears. I was still holding onto that glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe…there was a confusion of names. However, staring at Melissa’s body in a morgue cooler proved otherwise.There was no confusion, not even slightest.She was dead!Her eyes were shut tightly and her lips clumped together. I wished she could blink or…opened her eyes to tell me that it was just a bad nightmare and it would pass. To my disappointment, it was quiet inside the morgue, no traces of life apart from the morgue attendance and the people who had accompanied me to see the body.We followed up with the police first thing in the morning and we were told that she died right after she was hit by the car. It was a hit and run kind of situation. The car that hit her drove away and it didn't have a silence plate for identical. The police are still lo

    KATERINA“I just received the news that Melissa is dead…” My lawyer's words echoed in my head over and over again, like bad music which was put on repeat.How? I couldn't help but question myself, trying to make sense of his words. Melissa's happy face flashed in my mind. That bright smile that could light the dark sky and melt away all sadness.She was so happy about the case. She was in good health a few hours ago when we parted ways and agreed that we would meet on my Monday for the court’s hearing. I shook my head, refusing to accept what Evan had just told me a few seconds ago, the words so fresh in my mind.“This can't be…” I shook my head frantically, trying to convince myself that it wasn't true. The corner of my lips curving into a bitter smile. If this was a joke, I swear it's the worst joke that I have ever heard in my entire life. It wasn't funny at all!“She was perfectly

    KATERINA A FEW DAYS LATER “Are you sure about the decision that you have made? There is still time for you to reconsider the decision. You don't need to feel obligated if you don't want to.” I asked the young lady who was in her early twenties.She told me that her name is Melissa.“Yes,I’m sure about it ma’am.” She nodded, a subtle smile taking over her features.“That wasn't the first time the woman caused trouble at the shop. There was this time that she harassed me, reporting me to my boss and my salary was deducted. I tried to explain to my boss that she was the one at fault but…she didn't want to listen to me, saying the customer is always right.” Melissa said and I could feel the raw pain in her voice. I could tell that she really dislikes Stephanie and she has been waiting for this chance to make her pay for what she did to her.I turned my head to look at Evan, my lawyer and he nodded, his

    KATERINA “You have tried countless times to separate the two of us but it doesn't work. When are you going to realise that our union was a match made in heaven?”Monalisa's words re-played in my head over and over again. Perhaps she was right about what she was saying. Perhaps they were destined to be together.I didn't have a problem with Lucas choosing Monalisa over me because he has the right to choose whoever he wanted to side with without being pushed to make the decision.However, what hurt the most is the fact that Lucas had lied to Monalisa and everyone about his visit to my apartment.My jaw twitched and I gritted my teeth when I gave it a thought. He tainted my name, making me look like some desperate whore. If only I knew opening the door to him would make things more complicated. I wouldn't have opened it in the first place.After the heated conversation with Monalisa in the coffee shop, I headed to my lawyer's office to inform him about Luc

    KATERINA “Lucas my love, we’re supposed to visit my mother's lawyer and discuss the case. There's no way we're going to let that bitch Katerina lie about my mother!” I didn't want to believe that voice belonged to Monalisa but it was loud and clear. I would still recognise it even if I'm deep in slumber. It belonged to her. A click pierced through my ear, then followed by silence on the other side of the call. He had hung up on me, just like many other times when Monalisa was around and she needed his full attention. With shaky hands, I pulled the phone from my ear, placing it on the table. Perhaps I would have stick to the decision that I had made with my lawyer yesterday night, this wouldn't be happening. Maybe if I would have gazed through those blue eyes keenly, I would have noticed that he was only playing around with me like a rug doll. How could I be so dumb not to read between th

    KATERINA I took a sharp breath when I heard Luca's words, not believing it. I thought that…Maybe he said what he said yesterday because of the alcohol influence. However, it turns out that he meant every single word that he said.Did he just…choose me over Monalisa? I couldn't help it but ask myself. Wondering if I had heard his words right or if I was dreaming. I stared at his hand on top of mine on the table then raised my head to look at him and our eyes locked.“I hope you won't regret the decision that you just made. I don't want to cause any problems to your family so that I can be the reason for it falling apart, again.” I felt the bile raising up in my throat when the words escaped my mouth but I swallowed it back.I remembered how Lucas blamed me for breaking his family four years ago. I recalled the hurt and anger in those blue eyes which were now looking at me with care and concern. I didn't want to be the reason for his breaking. I had made up my mind and decided that I w
