Katherine's already in the shower, the shadow lathering her arms from behind the glass pane while she hums a song from the kids favorite tv show.He thinks only for a few seconds that maybe he should leave her in her relaxed state as being a mom of twins and a CEO of her own clothing company was nothing less than stressful but teasing her would be so much more rewarding.Chuckling, he grips onto the shower door and slides it wide open."There's my little cock warmer," he teases in a cooing voice rivaling that of children.Katherine jumped with a curse, instinctively covering her chest with one arm and trying to force the door closed with the other.

FIVE YEARS LATER⋅•⋅⊰∙∘❦✾❦∘∙⊱⋅•The beautiful wedding venue was filled with soft golden light, the lovely floral arrangements along the aisle releasing a gentle fragrance that floated in the air. Every detail had been thoughtfully chosen, from the stunning crystal chandeliers overhead to the delicate lace on Katherine’s gown, shimmering with each graceful step she took towards the altar.As she approached, whispers among the guests quieted, and the faint sound of violins filled the atmosphere, her heartbeat steady yet undeniably strong. This was the moment she had once thought would never come, the joy she had convinced herself she wasn't meant to experience. Yet, here she was.Zayn stood at the altar, looking at her with eyes that expressed something beyond mere admiration. There was a deep respect in his gaze, love shining clearly in the way he looked at her—as if she was the only person in existence.From the audience, Hailey and Nathan exchanged amused glances, their faces showing
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•She exhaled, uncertainty twisting in her chest as she forced herself to ask the question—the one that had been lingering in the back of her mind, refusing to disappear. “What about Isabella?” she murmured, her voice quieter now, but steady as she thought about the beautiful woman with fiery red hair and blue eyes...any man would desire her. “… She followed you to Dubai.” There was no hesitation, no flicker of doubt in his gaze, only quiet certainty as he exhaled slowly, shaking his head. “Isabella?” he repeated, as if the name carried no weight. “She means nothing to me. She never did.” Katherine studied his face, searching for cracks, for anything that would make her doubt him. She found nothing. “She had a movie to shoot there,” Zayn continued, his voice firm, unwavering. “Our relationship is in the past, Princess. I swear it.” The conviction in his voice sent a shiver through her, but what truly broke her was the sincerity in his gaze—raw, open, true.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•Zayn chuckled softly, his fingers tracing gentle circles against her hand, his touch grounding her in the moment. “I always stood outside my window, Princess,” he said, his voice carrying something quiet, something reflective. “Waiting for you to ride past.” Katherine could only stare, her mind spinning as she tried to grasp the weight of his words. His expression softened, his gaze growing distant, as if he was sifting through memories from long ago. “I lost my dad that year,” he admitted, his voice lower now, rougher around the edges. “Everything felt like it was falling apart. But you…” He inhaled slowly, shaking his head slightly. “You were the only thing that remained constant. Until the end of summer, when you had to leave.” Katherine’s fingers trembled slightly against the blanket as another memory surfaced. She had been right. She hadn’t been imagining things when she felt watched in that estate. Only, it hadn’t been something sinister—it hadn’t
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•"I love you, Katherine." He said.And she went as still as a statue.She had expected anger. She had expected frustration, disappointment, maybe even rejection. She had convinced herself that this moment would be the breaking point-that this was the thing that would push him away for good. But instead, he had said the one thing she never thought she would hear. He loved her. Katherine's heart pounded wildly in her chest, uncertainty swirling in her thoughts. She searched his face for any sign that he was joking, for any hint of insincerity, but Zayn's expression remained steady. She swallowed hard, her voice barely above a whisper. "You're just saying that." She shook her head slightly, trying to steady her breath. "B-because I got pregnant. Because this changes everything." Zayn didn't react immediately. He remained still, watching her carefully, his fingers tracing slow, reassuring patterns against her skin. "No," he said softly, his voice carrying a certainty t
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•Katherine's fingers curled around the hospital blanket, the soft fabric grounding her as she tried to process everything that had happened. The weight of the past few days pressed heavily on her, but Zayn's presence beside her helped settle the storm raging inside her. His touch was warm, steady, unwavering-like an anchor keeping her from drifting into the darkness of her memories. "So..." She inhaled slowly, her voice quiet but firm. "H-how did you find me?" Zayn exhaled, running a hand through his dark hair, the tension in his posture still lingering despite the relief of having her back safely. His jaw tightened slightly before he answered, his voice carrying something deeper beneath the calm tone. "I went to your apartment," he admitted, eyes flickering with an emotion Katherine couldn't quite place. "I needed to see you." Katherine's breath hitched slightly at his words, but before she could respond, he continued. "But when I got there, Hailey was frantic. She
