Chapter 39
SHE woke up to Jan’s butterfly kisses on her bare skin. From lying flat on her stomach, she shifted on her back. Now he was showering kisses on the top of her breast. After a few seconds, Jan was on top of her, kissing her neck.
“Jan…” She moaned when his warm hand cupped her bosom.
“Hmm? Yes, Katherine?” he drawled as he trailed kisses down to her chest.
“What are you doing—ah!” She arched her back when his warm mouth sucked one crown. It seemed that Jan had not got enough of her from last night.
He raised his head and met her gaze. “This is what couples do when they’re inside the hotel suite, Katherine.”
She ran her fingers through his hair and laughed.
“So, is this why you brought me here?”
“Well... I—” Jan was not able to finish his sentence when his phone suddenly rang. “Damn it.” He groaned.
“Go ahead.

KATE shook hands with the shareholders after the signing of the documents. Though she was feeling elated at that moment, she could not help but worry about her aunt’s reaction.“Congratulations again, Katherine,” said Mr. Ramirez. “Anyway, you should attend the next board meeting, so we can officially appoint you as the new Chief Executive Officer.”“Don’t worry about it, Mr. Ramirez,” Jan said. “We will make sure that she’s present at the next board meeting.”“Ah, that’s nice to hear.” Mr. Ramirez turned to her again. “And good luck with Bernice. I’m sure she would throw a fuss.”“And speaking of the devil… there she is,” Jan said while looking in the direction of the door.Kate’s fists clenched when she saw her aunt walking in her direction.“And what’s the meaning of this?” Aunt Bernice snarled.

“ARE you serious, Kate?” Jona breathed out exaggeratedly.She told her friends and classmates that it was her last day going to school in person. Starting next week, Kate will take the online classes and start running the company as well.“You’re just overreacting.” She laughed. “We’ll still see each other, you know.”Kate handed the librarian the books she borrowed last time.“I know. But… It’s different when you’re not here.” Her friend groaned. “Does Natalie know about this?”“I sent her a text.” Kate fished her phone from her pocket. “She hasn’t replied since last night.”“I bet she’s with her boyfriend, and they’re busy with….” Jona wagged her brows.Kate got what her friend meant by that, but she just shook her head.“So, Kate. Can we hang out at your place?” J

“GOOD morning, Sir, Madam,” a middle-aged man greeted them when they got out of the car.Beside him was a woman close to his age and a teenage girl that seemed to be his family.“Good morning, Arman.” Jan gave them a nod.“Sir, this is my wife, Remedios, and beside her is our daughter Rebecca. They are the ones who will attend to your needs while you’re here.”“Thanks.” He gestured to the car. “Our luggage’s at the compartment. Please take them to our room. I’d like to tour my wife around.”Jan turned to her and grabbed her hand, then he ushered her to the stables. There she saw two horses. They looked tamer than his horse Giovani.“What are we doing here, Jan?” she asked nonchalantly as she caressed the horse’s head.“Well… we’re here for a vacation.”She abruptly turned in his direction. “What?

JAN was preparing for their dinner with Isabela’s family that night. The same night, they would formally apologize to Isabela’s parents and ask for her hand in marriage. He was unsure how she would react with the news, as well as his brother and Winona. But Jan was hoping that everything would be fine. He swore to heaven that he had no bad intentions towards her. It was just that they were caught between their parents and other people’s misinterpretation of what happened. He was willing to take all the blame. If not for him, Isabela would not suffer that way.He looked at himself once more before he strode in the direction of the door. And when he finally opened it, he saw his brother right outside his room.“Oh, Fernan. How long have you been there? You should have—” Jan did not finish his sentence when he suddenly grabbed his collar.“What have you done to Isabela?” his brother aske

JAN woke up when someone shook his body hard. He opened his eyes immediately, and he was greeted by his brother, who looked mad at him for the rest of his life. Fernan pulled him up, but he went back to bed.“What is it now, Fernan? Can’t you see that I’m still sleeping?” he groaned.He just tossed and turned to bed last night, for he could not sleep. His mind was occupied with thoughts about Isabela. It was almost dawn when his mind finally found rest.“Well, I’m sure you’d come to your senses once you hear the news that I have for you.”His brother straddled him and grabbed his collar.“What?” Jan blinked and stared at him lazily. “Just cut to the chase—”“Isabela’s parents called. They said she was missing!”“What the…?” Jan pushed his brother away and

KATE and Jan stayed at the farm for two days. She received a call that the board meeting would push through, so they had to go back to the city. He promised that they would be back and spend more quality time together. Now, she was inside her office and finally the new CEO of her father’s company.“Congratulations, Katherine.” Jan wrapped his arms around her and lifted her feet off the ground.She squealed when he suddenly turned around, making her snake her arms around his neck.“Jan, please… put me down.” She chuckled. “We’re inside the office.”“The door is closed, though.” He stopped and kissed her deeply on the lips. “And I locked it.”Kate laughed and pressed their foreheads. “That’s quite naughty, don’t you think?”“Hmm… I don’t think so.”“Jan, just put me down,” she begged.&

KATE was not able to drop Jan at the airport because her schedule was full. His brother offered him a ride, but he declined and said he would just book an Uber. His father left a few days earlier than him, so he had to travel alone. Before leaving, Jan sent her a copy of his itinerary in her email so she would know when he was free.She was checking her phone when someone knocked on her office door.“Come in,” Kate said and looked at her phone again.The door opened, and Jan’s mother came in.“Mom!” She immediately stood up and strode towards her mother-in-law. Kate gave her a kiss on the cheek when she reached her. “What brought you here?”“Well, I had an errand around the corner, and I decided to drop by. I remember Jan told me to see you.She ushered Jan’s mother to the couch.“Bianca, coffee, please,” she told her secretary as they sat down.“Jan also a

KATE held her breath as she walked down the staircase. She was halfway to the living room when she saw Jan’s family together with the detectives in charge of her husband’s case. She took a deep breath before sauntering towards them. “Katherine,” Fernan greeted and nodded somberly. She gazed at everyone before sitting on the one-seater sofa. “H-how’s the investigation going?” Kate swallowed the lump that started to form in her throat. Her thoughts about Jan always made her mind restless. If truth be told, she never had a decent sleep since he was gone. She spent all those sleepless nights crying and begging God to make a way so he could return. Kate tried her best to think of only the good ones, but it was hard whenever she would glance at the empty side of the bed. And now, in the middle of chaos… she was pregnant. The detective cleared his throat. “We still couldn’t find any lead that will lead us to either the suspect or your husband.”
