๋ก๊ทธ์ธI immediately strapped in my seatbelt as instructed and looked up at Edward. I guess I was expecting some sort of motivational or reassuring speech, but doesnโt a person have to have a heart before that could happen? Yeah and he obviously doesnโt have one.My luck had to be this bad? First time on a private jet and it was going to crash? Edward was indifferent though, he just there across me staring me with a questioning look.I already gave up any hope of getting any word from him until he spoke calmly.โThe call is just for safety caution.Itโs probably just fogโ he said in the most calming tone Iโve ever heard from him โHow on earth are you this relaxed?โ I asked him surprised โBecause I know itโs nothing, he canโt see ahead doesnโt mean there's something there or at least enough to crash usโฆโ he explained His words brought me calm, I was beginning to relax and believe nothing was going to happen until he spoke again.โAnd even if there is going to be a crash, Arthur got it. Heโs
โGood. So we met in college, dated for a while, lost contact and only reconnected at the reunion last yearโ he explained โI didnโt go to some fancy college tho, I attended community collegeโ Edward was beyond shocked , he stared at me like he was waiting for me to say it was a joke.I just gave him a โduhโ look when he wasnโt talking โAre you serious?โ He asked โYes I am. Why? is that good enough? Too low for you?โ I asked angrily. I was really offended. It wasnโt easy to get my associate degree, I struggled to get across and graduate, took several loans despite the low tuition. I was still in on student loan and one dick head just sat there looking horrified just because he was born into a silver spoon.โFuck!โ He exclaimed lowlyOh if looks could kill. Edward Howard would have been a dead man that instant.โTake me back to LAโ I demanded not wanting to say another word.โWhat do you mean?โ โTake me back to LA, you can go ahead and find a graduate from Harvey Mudd Collegeโ โTha
โCan I kiss you?โ My ears are definitely playing tricks on me right? How can someone say that all of a sudden? But I couldnโt step back, my feet refused to move. Being so close to him and feeling his right breath on my neck felt Like some type of jinxing and guess what? Itโs was so working!Comfortably getting lost in his icy blue eyes, I let him come close. From such proximity all I could say is that God definitely cheated because how could one man be this perfect? His perfect looking lips were seconds away from mine and I couldnโt wait to get a taste. Just like the night I first met him. I could literally feel his lips touching mine when the door suddenly bursts open, fuck!!I wished I could scream at the cockblock, a girl I remember meeting on my first day here, Ama or whatever she said her name was.โSorry!, Mr Howard I was just resuming back to workโ she said almost immediately โItโs okay Ameera, get to work now โ Edward responded in his usual cold tone She rushed off to th

CHAPTER 18Katherineโs pov A knock at my door woke me up but I was too tired to even raise a finger so I lay still but the knock persisted, followed by Lilyโs tiny voice calling out to me. I checked the bedside clock and it was 4:45, what could be the problem? Why is Lily up at this hour? I rushed to open the door immediately. โOh finally!โ She rolled her eyes. What?! โLily, are you okay?โ I asked ignoring her attitude โYes I am, why do you look so worried?โ She asked while making herself comfortable under my blanket โWell maybe because youโre banging my door in the middle of the night?โ I answered โItโs technically morning Katherineโ she said, patting beside her, signaling for me to come to bed in my own room and bed ? โThatโs not the point young lady, you scared meโ I said joining her anyway โIโm sorry but not sorryโ โWhat does that even mean?โ โWell, I didnโt mean to scare you but it feels weirdly good for someone that is not my uncle to worry for meโ she explain
Chapter 17The tension in the air was already suffocating, I kept wondering why a man he just acknowledged as dad would be so cold towards him. The coldness and judgment in his eyes as he seized me up didnโt surprise me but to his own son too?He wouldnโt be the first person to assume I was a whore at first glance especially at the club house, I always found it amusing how being poor was enough reason to be seen in that light. The thought of leaving to my room to give them some privacy crossed my mind but that would only make the grumpy man feel he was right or worsen the whole issue so instead I sat quietly looking everywhere but at them until โMARRIAGE!โโBecause I already have a fiancรฉeโฆ thatโs her over thereโ My head moved at an unhealthy speed towards the Howards only to realize that Edward was pointing in my direction. I looked behind me for a second wondering if there was an invisible person there.โKatherine baby, please come down hereโ he said with a cheeky smile. my ears
