It was two weeks later when William woke up in the morning and almost rolled to his left and fell on the floor. Almost. Thankfully his reflex was impeccable and he managed to jump back to bed. He silently cursed then glanced at Kate who was still asleep. Slowly he swung his legs over the side of the single-sized bed and rose to his feet. He walked out of the bedroom, closed the door softly behind him, then walked to the kitchen.
He turned on the coffee machine and made some coffee for himself and Kate. With his hands resting on the kitchen counter, he could not help but recall what had happened last night. He had picked her up from her office and they had gone to the supermarket nearby to get some ingredients for dinner. Yet by the time they had finally arrived at her flat, they had placed the groceries on the counter and somehow agreed to sate their 'other' hunger — the one that had nothing to do w

Kate stared at her phone with a frown. She had been trying to call William but it went straight to voicemail. She dropped a message to Harry, his personal assistant, and Harry informed her that William was in a meeting with a potential partner. So in the end, she left him a voicemail, informing him that she was on her way to the airport and would fly to Washington D.C. as her mother was injured. “I’ll call you once I land, okay?” She ended the call and held her phone tightly on her lap. She turned to her right and noticed that Jaxon had been watching her this whole time as the car was stopping at the traffic light. “Thank you for taking me to the airport.” Jaxon shook his head. “I’m coming with you.” He shifted his gaze back to the front as the car started to move. “You don’t have to. It’s fine,” Kate reassured him. “No, it is fine.” One of his hands left the steering wheel and held hers. “I am here for you, Katherine.” She looked down at his hand holding hers before casually
“I said I do not,” William replied with a sigh then tossed his phone on the couch. “Where were you, Kate? I have been losing my mind when I could not reach you.” Instead of getting an answer, he was left alone as she walked into their bedroom. With a frown on his forehead, he followed her inside and watched her strip her clothes off before disappearing into the bathroom. Something was not right. He could feel that something had happened today but his mind could not think of what possibly could happen that would cause so much stress on Kate. He decided that it could wait, all that mattered right now was her. William opened the cupboard and grabbed a towel then knocked on the bathroom door. “Kate, may I come in?” When there was no reply, he added, “I will take it as negative confirmation and proceed if you remain in silence.” He counted to ten before turning the knob and walking inside. He found Kate inside the bathtub her knees were folded. Her arms were hugging her legs while she re
