Conrad I had no idea how exactly to ring it into my mother’s ears so that she would listen, but so far, it’s been almost an impossible thing for her to do. Staying away from Katherine was not exactly a hard thing to do. I mean, if my mother was intentional about not causing trouble for me, she would have. But it was obvious that she had made it a mission to frustrate Katherine which troubled me in so many ways. I had just opened my eyes again after I had successfully made Katherine put me to sleep, and I was surprised that she was not in the room. Just as I was about falling back to sleep, with the awareness that she was somewhere around as I could still perceive her scent, my mother’s voice came. And this time, she was screaming loudly . I knew it was only one person she could talk to that way, as the hate in her voice was evident. But what I did not expect as I quickly rushed downstairs was that my mother would raise her hand, in an attempt to slap Katherine. She might have
Katherine"Wait, what?" Conrad stared at me shocked and I stayed there in silence. “You have found a way, what do you mean?”I did not exactly say anything, and waited for him to relax his nerves. But it felt like he was more worried about knowing. "How do you want us to deal with her, Katherine?" He asked again, this time a sigh left my lips."That shouldn't be of concern to you, Conrad and how I got the news isn't what you should stress yourself too much on," I intoned and stared at the window.I felt his hot gaze and my attention was diverted to him. I could read the doubts in his eyes and his inquiries but I wasn't ready to give an answer to all of that."Then how did you get your hands on it?" He asked stubbornly."From someone Conrad, do you think I can get this information in my hands just like that?" My brows ached at him for asking such an obvious question."That's true and what was the info all about?" He inquired."The person told me a lot of things about Clara and there
KatherineSoon it was evening, Conrad and I alighted from the car as we made our way to the famous restaurant in the city. We booked a table and got ourselves comfortable there. "Do you think she would suspect a thing when she gets here?" I asked, feeling nervous."Calm down Katherine, you don't have to stress yourself too much," He said to me and I gave him a smile."By the way, what should we order for? We can't just sit here like detectives, you know?"I teased him and he simply rolled his eyes at me."Even detectives can't resist the urge of food, what are you talking about?" He said to me and I laughed out loud."Waiter," He called and soon a lady came to us with the menu."What would you like to order sir and ma'am?" Her Italian voice came in."A plate of sausage and a bottle of water please," I said. I wasn't that hungry."Noted, how about you sir?"She asked and Conrad ordered for a bottle of water instead, which made me frown a bit."Are you planning to make me the glutton here
KatherineI stared at Conrad and wondered what he was going to say next."You have to tell the press that I am not the owner of the baby or you lose the reputation you so much try to maintain, I hope you do know what I mean," He glared at her coldly. Clara's eyes dimmed a little and looks of uncertainty flashed across her eyes for a second."I- I don't understand what you mean," She stuttered as she quickly diverted her gaze away from ours. I knew she realized what he meant. She did not want to accept the fact that her secret was already blown up."Then I am sure you can remember what happened in Chicago, On the 15th May 2005!" I whispered fiercely at her so that others won't hear it. Her eyes widened in terror like she had just seen a ghost, her face went pale and her eyes were twitching."What do you mean? Where did you get that information?" She grabbed my hands across the table like a lunatic but I quickly shoved her hands away and got up."How we got it is none of your business, j
ConradI nodded at my secretary as I quickly made my way to the meeting. She had informed me of an urgent meeting that was being held, and from the time that it was to start, I was two minutes late."What is it all about?" I asked as I slowly approached the room. The lady stopped and flipped through the spreadsheet with her."The J&P Ltd and some other companies who terminated their contracts with us would like to come to an agreement with you, that was what the CEO stated, Sir," She said and my eyes narrowed. So it's time, it seems the effect of Clara's announcement has brought back good luck to the company.I brushed off any thoughts of distraction and nodded at her as I slowly opened the door."Oh, CEO Conrad, it's so good to finally meet you," A burly man laughed out loud as soon as I got in. He stood up and extended a handshake in which I obliged."You are welcome," I said formally and the latter rubbed his protruded belly with satisfaction. I greeted the other tycoons in the ro
Katherine"What are you hiding from me, Katherine?"My eyes widened in shock and soon I got frenzied when I heard his voice. "Babe? W-when did you return from work?" I stuttered seeing him standing before me with a cold gaze. The phone slipped off my hand as a cold shiver ran through my spine and my hands turned sweaty."That isn't what I asked you, Katherine. What is it that you are hiding from me?" He asked again, this time his eyes dimmed and I knew I was In trouble.'What am I going to say to him now? 'My heart raced as I watched him walk closer to me."What is sealing your mouth, Dear?" He asked again and this time his right hand held my arm."I-it's nothing. I mean there's nothing that I'm hiding from you. Nothing at all," I flashed a fake smile at him hoping that he would buy it."It can't possibly be nothing , Katherine. I know you very well. Mostly when you are up to no good," He said to me and for once my heart calmed down as I saw the cold look washed off his face."That, i
KatherineI hastily picked the phone as I stared at the content of the message.“You still owe me my favour, I hope you don’t forget soon. I am not putting you through any stress, Katherine, just do as you are told, whenever. Remember that I did my part without stress, so just the same.”“Clara,” I inaudibly muttered. Her name was not the best that I could mention at that moment, neither was she the person sending me those texts. But if I was not left with the option of trying to kick her away from my life that way, then I never will have met this person."He is so adamant about this," I cursed under my breath, staring at the address that the caller had texted me after. He said that he sent another package to me which left me wondering. Worse thing was that I had not heard of the street before. I hid the phone when I heard footsteps coming towards the room."Katherine, are you done? We are going out in an hour," I heard Conrad's voice and I stopped with what I was doing as I stared
ConradThankfully, everything at home had been pretty okay. The quietness, the peace, and the love that I want were almost exactly what I felt. As much as it did not really feel good to say, I almost mentioned out loud that I liked that Clara’s pack tried attacking ours. Which better way should I have made Katherine pause everything that she had going on in her life for a week? Or was it because she respected me?Well, I could not tell. And making my mother go stay in another mansion was definitely the best decision that I had made in a while, though I still got calls from the servants that I had placed with her, of how she threatened to burn down the house and kill herself if I don’t get her out of there soon. But the most I know about my mother, she liked her life more than anything. She liked the affluence, fake, and all the pleasures, so I did not see her hurting herself anytime soon. They were all threats to get me confused, and I was honestly the least bothered about how.
