Thank you for reading!
SLAP!The sound echoed through the empty office. “How can you be so fucking useless?” Lauren fumed.Her face was painted every where with the title “HOME WRECKER.” She had tried to have the articles taken down but it was harder and harder especially when they had back up from the Rostova family.“I’m sorry.”“I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT!” Lauren shrieked, her voice slicing through the tension in the room. She grabbed a vase from her desk and hurled it against the wall, the vase scattering into pieces as her face reddened in anger. She had waited her whole life for this. Amara, who was supposed to be her ticket was now her enemy. How dare she?"I hired you to handle this! Handle it!”“It was supposed to be a great day. We made sure-” Jude began. “And yet here I am, the laughingstock of the entire city!" Her chest heaved, as she cut her off. Her breath coming in ragged gasps as she fought to regain control. "If I lose this election, I swear to God—""Mrs Ashford, please, calm down," her
Katherine watched Lauren's figure disappear through the door, her anger simmering just beneath the surface. She paced the room, her mind racing. How had everything spiraled so out of control? The pieces she'd carefully put into place were crumbling around her. She couldn't let Lauren take the reins, not when everything she had worked for was on the line.She picked up her phone and dialed a familiar number, her voice steady despite the chaos swirling inside her. "I need you to meet me. Now," Katherine demanded."Where?" the voice on the other end asked, hesitant."My place. We need to talk strategy," she replied before hanging up, not waiting for a response. It was a risk if the workers saw Mateo and snitched to Brandon but Kate had no choice. It wasn’t safe outside with the paparazzi hovering around them. She had to be smart about her movements or else she’d take the fall. Thirty minutes later, Mateo sauntered into her living room, his usual swagger irritating Katherine more than
“Fuck! Baby, are you okay?” Lucian's concerned voice asked as he steadied Amara.“I'm good. Just a little shaken. Can we go home?” She asked.“Of Course.” Lucian agreed as he led her outside the restaurant.The ride was quick and soon, they arrived home. After receiving that warning from her lawyer, Amara was feeling a little under the weather. She had faced threats before, but none as severe as she was experiencing and she was afraid.“Are you okay?” Lucian asked as he reached for her hand and locked their fingers.“Yes, I am. I need to rest a bit.” Amara forced a smile. Lucian could see through her but he didn't want to push her when she was not ready so he nodded. Starting a war with people in power was dangerous, and if it was up to him, he would rather she stayed safe and left the revenge to him. He parked the car and opened the door for Amara. They walked into the elevator which was leading to the top floor of his penthouse. But before the door could close, Tony rushed forward w
“He has changed! I can't seem to control him the way I used to.” Katherine scarted the glass from the table and sent it flying across the room.“Calm down! We need to find a way to keep him rooted to us.” Lauren said.Her elections were in a week, and she couldn't afford any mistakes. Not if she wanted to win. “How! He has the whole world behind his back after he turned Amara's attack in his favor. He thinks he doesn't need us anymore!” Katherine said angrily. “I wouldn't want anything to do with your loud mouth either. You overreact, and you talk too much.” Lauren mocked, which earned her a cold laugh from Katherine.“Now I get it, you two made a deal behind my back, and now I'm left out” “Don't be ridiculous!” Lauren said as she stood and wore her cape and mask. “I'm leaving now, I can't be seen here. Don't do anything stupid, I know how to handle that little brat.” Lauren said.“I don't trust you. You could frame me for all I know.” Katherine protested. “I could. And I just migh
“Ohhh please! Don't act like you're fucking stupid Amara?” Katherine sneered as she stood. “You went after my man and so it's only obvious that I come and warn you!”Amara laughed, “I can see that you've lost your senses! Who the hell told you that I'd ever want trash?”Katherine's face reddened in anger as she lifted her hand to slap Amara but she held her wrist to block her and smacked her instead. “Ah!” Katherine cried when another slap reached the other side of her face making her stumble backwards.“Let me make myself clear Incase your brainless head is a little slow. Stay the hell away from me, because I might just double the pain I have in store for you!’ Amara spat coldly and pressed a button on her desk.Security came rushing in, “Is there a problem madam?” “Take this trash out!” Amara spat as she walked to sit behind the desk. Katherine's hands balled into fists, “You think this is over! It's far from over?” She screamed as the security team took her out.“You're right.” A
“Have you told Lauren to get me the best lawyer?” Brandon sneered at Katherine.“Of course, babe, I have you know I want you out of here faster than anyone.” Katherine said sadly.“Good, I need to get out and see Amara.” Brandon said.Katherine’s brows met, and her heart skipped a bit. She hated even just the mention of Amara’s name. “Why?”“That’s for me to worry about! Just get the damn lawyer, Kate.” Brandon spat coldly.What Katherine didn’t know was that Lauren had visited him and blamed him for all the misfortunes he was going through. According to her, if only he kept Amara by his side, none of these problems would have come his way.“Okay.” Kate said, and Brandon stood to leave, but she stopped him in his tracks, “Brandon?” Her voice was soft.“What!” He glared at her.Katherine flinched. She was shocked because of how cold Brandon sounded. She couldn’t possibly believe he was the same person. Katherine knew that if he wasn’t wrapped around her finger anymore, then it’d be har
