Kate sighed as she contemplated the options she had now. It was all her fault; she had been feeling so guilty after leaving the Bigfoot house that she had wanted a diversion. But she should have known that they were bound to be discovered.Hell, she had been playing with fire when she had locked the door knowing that seven years of pent-up desire and hidden feelings would have unleashed in an explosive outcome. Which it had. The passionate sexual interlude she had just had with Aidan was proof enough that they were made for each other.While she had left to the Bigfoot house, she had known that Aidan would eventually find out about her whereabouts. And she had felt bad when Aidan had been worried about her and she had been in a hurry to make it up to him. And now she had fallen in her own trap; she had no other option than to brace herself for the uproar.Which came with a bang!“Oh my God!!” Caitlin Thornton exclaimed standing outside the door with her son in her arms. It was obvious
Finally! The truth was out in the open. Aidan did not know how much he had wanted her to confess her feelings for him loud until she just did it. It was as if he had been waiting for that moment all his life and he felt his chest sag with relief.And instead of looking shocked, everyone was grinning from ear to ear looking at each other with knowing looks. Which made Aidan frown. Now, wait a minute! They already knew?? How?? He had taken so much effort during the last two weeks to hide their feelings by avoiding each other. And all for nothing.As he glanced at Kate, he nearly smiled at her priceless expression. It was also the conclusion she came up with since she stared at everyone one by one looking for a trace of surprise on each face. And found none! It would seem that everybody already knew about their “hidden” relationship! Damn!“Mom?” she asked uncertainly her chest heaving with exhaustion after her outburst. And Aidan moved towards her as an attempt to provide her some suppo
SIX MONTHS LATER….Kate looked down at her vibrating mobile with a frown. Why would her secretary pass her any calls when she had given her strict instructions not to disturb her while she was in the middle of an important audit?Staring at the unknown number, she swiped the screen to take the call feeling annoyed that she had to write everything down so as not to forget what she had been doing.“Mary? What is it?” she snapped busy in writing down her figures.“Sorry Kate. This is important,” her secretary told her and before she had time to protest, the latter put the call through.“Kate?” greeted the familiar voice she had been dying to hear all weekend but instead of feeling happy she got even more irritated. It had been more than six months now since she had seen him and she had fought everyday with him to weaken his resolve. But Aidan had been stubbornly sticking to the stupid promise he had made to her father. Not even once had he relented and met her secretly and it was a punis
BOOK2: What was meant to be.... Aidan Flint Waldorf was the luckiest man on earth. He was getting married to a wonderful woman Katherine Iris Thornton. The one who had loved and waited for him for a very long time. Life couldn’t get better. That was what he believed until his bride did not show up for the wedding. And the only explanation was that she was gone! Gone where? Gone when? Gone why? There were so many questions unanswered and he wanted to resolve them as quickly as possible. His heart knew his Katie would never leave unless she had some valid reasons. And it was up to him to find out what those were. Was she in some kind of danger? He vowed to himself he would find his Kate back even if it meant going to hell and back. -------------------------*************************************-------------------------------- Aidan stood looking in the mirror feeling his heart pound in his chest. One year ago, if somebody would have told him he would have ended up in marriage,
Still in deep shock, Aidan Waldorf could still not focus what was happening in reality. It was as if he had zapped out to another universe where his mind was bombarded with questions one after the other. Why was Kate no longer here? Where was she? Had she freaked out at the last minute and decided to skip the wedding? Or has something happened to her? The only thing which kept him sane was the fact that Kate might be in some kind of danger and all he knew was that he had to find her. It was what his instincts were telling him and for the first time of his life, his heart was in synch with his mind. But it didn’t make him feel better. Standing up still in a daze, he ignored the noises around him and ran towards the door focusing only on what he was supposed to do. Only to be stopped by a pair of hands and he whirled round to see it was Ryce Vin Connor. His best friend. His brother. But he was in no mood for the comfort Ryce as offering. It would serve no purpose until he had Kate wi
She was running. Even if her heels were broken, her head was bleeding and her tears were blinding her, she was still running like mad. Even if her lips were parched, her throat dry and her feet aching, she was still running. She could not stop. Except she did not know her destination. She only knew that her instincts were screaming at her to run as fast as she could. It was as if her life was in danger. Like someone was after her. So she ran till she felt her legs could no longer carry her and she finally fell to the ground on her knees gasping desperately for oxygen. What the hell was happening? She was still in a state of shock and she felt even more horrified as she looked down at herself and saw that she was wearing a white dress which had been torn and was pretty much in shreds. As she looked more closely, she suddenly guessed that it was a bridal attire. It was her wedding day? Who was she running from then? The groom? But wait a minute. Who was the groom? Or more important;
Somebody screamed. Aidan felt his blood chill at the shrill ominous sound and his heart leapt in fear in his throat. Without thinking, his heart said only one word. Kate! Something had happened to her. Rushing upstairs to the west wing, he followed the repeated sounds being closely followed by Alex and Ryce.As he barged into the room from where the sound had come from, he nearly slumped in shock at the sight in front of him. It was Jade who had screamed. And her face was grey as she stared at something on the floor in front of her. Following the direction of her gaze, he felt his breath catch in his throat and Aidan felt sure that his face was mirroring her expression.They were both staring at a the back of a dead body which laid on the floor of the attic. The face was indiscernible as it was facing the floor with a knife stabbed in the ribs. And it was hard to make out anything as there were so much blood everywhere.Before Aidan could anticipate it, Jade fell to the ground her bod
Mary was getting used to her new life. And her new name. She was surrounded by wonderful people who were taking great care of her and in return, she cooked for them. She was a great cook, she discovered. And she enjoyed cooking for everyone in the convent.She was also good with accounts and therefore helped them with the budgeting and saving for the future. It was something she was used to do she was sure since she seemed to focus on every detail and derived astute strategies to maintain their current possessions.Maybe it had something to do with her profession. She must be a banker or involved in a similar lucrative business that required such kind of creativity. She grimaced at the thought finding that particular profession quite mercenary something which she was not liking. But she had no right to be prejudiced especially in the state she was.Two days had passed since her sudden rebirth and she had still not remembered anything yet. And except for the quick memory which she had
