MasukKatherine's POVA full week had passed, and I finally felt strong enough to leave, though faint yellowish-purple bruises still shadowed my skin."You need to make sure you take your medications properly and on schedule," the doctor instructed as he signed off on my discharge papers."Okay, Doctor. Thank you so much for your care," I replied politely.He nodded, gathering his clipboard. "Have a wonderful day, Mrs. Dominic."I forced a tight smile onto my face while my blood boiled silently beneath the surface. Mrs. Dominic. Soon, that name wouldn't be mine to carry."Thank you, Doctor," Kyla chimed in gratefully as he stepped out of the room.I turned to her, my expression shifting immediately into business mode. "Let's go," I told her, as we headed downstairs to the private exit where the car was waiting.The moment I stepped through the front doors of the mansion, the entire household staff chorused together as if they had rehearsed it."Welcome back, ma'am!"I offered them
Katherine's POVI woke up in a sterile hospital room, the harsh overhead lights causing my head to spin the second I opened my eyes."Babe, you're awake," Dominic’s voice came from beside me. He hurried out of the room, returning moments later with a doctor in a white coat."How are you feeling?" the doctor asked, stepping up to the bed and checking my pulse."My whole body aches," I told him honestly, every word costing effort as Dominic stood behind him with a cold, blank expression."You'll be fine, Mrs. Dominic. You just need to get plenty of rest and let your body heal," the doctor reassured me."Thank you, Doctor," I managed to say.He nodded politely, then turned to address Dominic. "Make sure you reinforce your home security to prevent an attack like this from happening again."I froze, my brow furrowing in deep confusion. What on earth is he talking about?"Thank you so much, Doctor. I will," Dominic said smoothly, seeing the physician out of the room before closing
Katherine's POV"Where is Tyla?!" I yelled the second I barged into the office lobby, my voice echoing off the high ceilings.The employees flinched, staring at me in terrified silence."She's... she's up on your floor, ma'am," one of the junior staff stammered, standing frozen alongside everyone else."Get her down here right now!" I snapped, my rage doubling with every second that passed.A few grueling minutes later, an employee escorted Tyla down the elevator. She stepped into the main lobby, her body trembling like a leaf."Y-yes, ma'am?" she whispered, her voice barely audible."Come closer," I ordered coldly.She took two hesitant steps forward. Before she could even open her mouth, I stepped into her space and delivered a resounding slap straight across her face.A collective gasp echoed across the open floor."You whore!" I spat, my voice laced with pure venom.Tyla cupped her burning cheek, staring at the floor without uttering a word."I took you in as more than just an emp
Katherine's POV"Good morning, ma'am," an employee greeted as I stepped out of my car."Hello," I replied politely."Good morning, ma'am," another voice called out. I turned to see Tyla stepping out of an Uber."Morning, Tyla," I said, deciding to pry just a little. "Why didn't you drive?"She swallowed hard before responding, her eyes darting away from mine. "Actually, my car is at the mechanic," she said quickly. "I'll pick it up this weekend."She turned and headed inside. A brand-new car was already faulty? The story didn't add up.I headed up to my floor and immediately buried myself in work. Later in the afternoon, I stepped out to grab a file I’d left in my car. On my way back up, I paused in the hallway as muffled voices drifted from the break room, locking me in place."Honestly, Tyla is not okay," one of my female employees said.I pulled back behind the corner, keeping out of sight to listen."Yes, her hand was bruised when she returned from Florida, and she was supposed to
Katherine's POV"Who did that to you?" I asked, my voice dropping as I pointed straight at her arm.Tyla froze. She looked down at her bruised wrist, then snapped her gaze back to mine, her eyes wide with sudden panic."It's nothing, ma'am," she stammered, pulling her sleeve down in a frantic motion."Tyla, your wrist is badly bruised. That's not a scratch," I pushed, stepping out from behind my desk."I... I hurt myself by mistake," she lied, her voice shaking. She bowed her head tightly. "Excuse me, ma'am," she whispered respectfully, turning on her heel and practically bolting out of the office before I could say another word.I stood there in silence, watching the door close behind her. I knew she was lying. The jagged, dark impression on her skin was unmistakably the grip of a heavy, furious hand."Could it be her sugar daddy that did that to her?" I thought to myself, a bitter knot twisting in my stomach."Okay, now I sound like Janice, prying into everyone's business". I forced
Katherine's POV"Good morning, my beautiful wife," Dominic said as I slowly opened my eyes."Good morning," I replied, still groggy. He leaned down and pressed a warm kiss to my lips."Get ready for work and come down for breakfast, okay?" he said with a bright, charming smile before turning and leaving the room in exceptionally high spirits."Wow," I blurted out to the empty room, completely taken aback.I took a quick shower, dressed for the office, and headed downstairs to the dining room."Good morning, ma'am," the domestic staff greeted in unison as I walked in."Morning, everyone," I responded, setting my handbag on one of the dining chairs. "Where's my husband?""Actually, he's.." Kyla attempted to answer, but Dominic's voice interrupted her."Breakfast is ready, babe," he announced proudly. Two maids followed right behind him, carrying covered dishes and setting the table."I cooked for you," he beamed, stepping forward to pull out a chair for me."Wow," I murmured,
I rushed downstairs without even glancing in a mirror, my heart hammering against my ribs. When I reached the living room, my jaw nearly hit the floor. There was Ethan Vance, looking effortlessly flawless in a casual designer shirt, completely engrossed in a conversation with my dad."Oh, here
My legs shook as we climbed the private stairs into the executive box, taking our seats. Ethan sat right in the middle, with Janice to his left and me to his right.How did I not know who he was?I was completely speechless as the game started. The players from both schools skated onto the ice, a
I don't care who you are. Just watch where you're going next time," I snapped, turning on my heel and marching toward the exit.Janice scrambled to follow right behind me. "Such an annoying dude," I muttered, my cheeks still burning from his intense gaze."Annoying, but dangerously cute, girl," J
I had spent extra hours glamming up today. It was my two-year anniversary with my boyfriend, Ashton. I clutched my bag, my heart doing little flips at the thought of kissing him on the lips.I spun my locker humming joyfully as I turned the lock.A picture fell out of my locker. I picked it up,
