Chapter 19—-------------MATT'S POV—----------------Two Weeks later—--------------------I woke up in the morning receiving calls from the C.O.L.E.MAN COMPANY. I had to meet the president and other CEOs from other companies. The president's investment would be nice and would go a long way to boost the company's fame. I sat down, thinking about how I would deal with answering and presenting. 'How would the president do such a thing, by hosting his meeting in my company!? Well, it's not bad to host the president!'"Good morning, Matt." Kate came greeting. She bounced to my washroom to do her morning chores. I had spent many weeks wondering if she had forgotten who I am and moved on or was just pretending not to know. Aside from that, she should be craving for me by now, but she showed no signs. "Come here, Kate," I ordered. She bounced back immediately after I ordered, panicking and trembling, looking tired and jittery. I had made her stay by my side all the time, but she was s
Chapter 20—------------KATE'S POV—----------Matt was spiking my heart with his beauty. He had shifted from being handsome to being beautiful. I just wanted to take a break away from him because my love for him kept growing and growing, but he was interested in a different person. He kept driving me crazy whenever he mentioned it! I understood why Angela kicked my ass, seeing me around Matt. But, I wouldn't do that to his lover. When he gives me that break where I would not work for him again, maybe, I would just wait for my Hero to come for me or let the wind of love blow me away to where ever it would let me settle. But, it should be a place where my heart can rest peacefully. "Do you want to tell me something?" Matt asked, breaking his long speechlessness when he found out that I was busily having a suspicious look at him. Yeah, I surely stole quite a bunch of his appearance with my stares. I was just taking my shares before he meets his lover. "I just want to steal more of
Chapter 21--------------------"Who sent you please?" I started getting scared thinking, Catherine has sent him to harm me. This man would just kill me with just his thumb hitting any part of me, "Me and Matt have nothing to do. We don't love each other, please let me go," I cried out, sobering and walking backward slowly. I tried to flee from him. "Don't attempt to move any step further," he warned, inserting his hand in his long black coat and pulling a shotgun, "Kate, walk straight up to me. You are not my target. It's me Antonio. Don't look back, just walk up to me," he confirmed and changed his gaze above my head. When I turned, it was a different man, dressed the same way as Antonio."Don't touch her, I swear I am going to blow your fucken skull outta ya fucken neck!" Antonio warned the unknown man dressed just like him, " Let's go now, Matt wants to see you, please."Passersby stood to watch the drama while others ran away from the scenes. They raised an alarm, inviting the
Chapter 22—------------MATT'S POV—--------------The conference was going just fine until I received a text message from Antonio. The Conference Hall was designed in such a way that noises outside it wouldn't be heard no matter how loud it was. "We got a critical situation out here, Boss." The message read. I did not make up my mind to get out because I had already won the presidential investment. I was just taking "Congratulations" all around me. To each person, I turned,"Everyone wants a maid like Kate!" people excitedly contracted. "Wow, that was a big win for you my son!", My mother approached, hugging and kissing my head, "Your maid did amazingly…oh, wait, where is she? I did to congratulate her rather," she said, ordering security to get her. She seemed different that night, but I was just concentrating on taking my "Congratulations" from other CEOs and ministers from almost every part of the country. "Ha..hi…Matt," Angela tried to say something, but she acted too nerv
Chapter 23—-------------KATE'S POV 76 hours later—----------------"Her days are numbered! Mister. I'm just doing my work, your money means nothing here, We're dealing with life and death here," a man yelled, trying to convince someone, "Damn it! We've woken her up with our noises." The man turned to me and touched a cable that looked white but transparent. I wondered where I was, then intended to investigate. I could not move around as I wanted and as I always did. I felt extreme pains in my chest, spine, and leg. The worst was my heart; it felt like something pressed it hard, then let go for some seconds, and when the pain decreased, it started to press it hard again. It is very painful and uncomfortable. It changed my breath, and I think I was able to breathe because they gave me oxygen. "hmm…mmm…ouch!!" I whispered, sounding like a dog in trouble. "How do you feel?" the man who appeared to be a doctor approached and asked.I did not mind, I turned my head to the other side
Chapter 24—------------"The woman who has stolen your heart from…" "From who, Kate? No one has stolen my heart. It belongs to its rightful owner, no one has stolen it," he gasped, "You know what, I'll give you the chance to love when you get well. You'll find out your heart is not stolen, but rather sacrificed."He explained, persuading me to accept the surgery calmly without any bad feelings. I began to wonder how my bills would be paid, and whose coffers that money is going to come from. "What will you do if I refuse to survive? Will you go and meet your lover without me?" I groaned, trembling and cramping the bed sheet, "what will you do if I am unlucky?" I burst into tears."Well, that's an incredible question, I may not be able to see her. She's just like a bird, she's very beautiful and eloquent, yet, I might need you to decipher if she's my real bird or not," he explained in a parable, "I would need someone to hold my umbrella when I am kissing her, and that person should b
Chapter 25--------------- Two Days Later-------------------I woke up to see Dr. Marilyn again, not knowing how she ended up there. The first doctor was a man. Yeah, I saw him and heard his voice even when I was on the brink of dying. Yeah, I cannot forget that. Although, I wasn’t feeling the nasty pain in my heart anymore. My right foot was tightly wrapped in a P.O.P. bandage and hanging up. I think I survived the surgery. “Welcome once again, brave girl!” Marilyn celebrated, standing up to change the cannula. I thought that was the last one until she inserted a new one and sat back in her seat. “Am I spending another day Marilyn!!?” I yelled out my frustration. She couldn’t say a word for a while. She was flabbergasted about the question and how I yelled. Personally, I sensed that was bad, but I was angry.“You have been here for two days and…no…are you alright, Kate?” “You are my doctor; you should know better! Marilyn, I am tired of being here, and besides, let the male doc
Chapter 26—------------MATT'S POV—---------At the club at 7:36 pm ********** "Give me my favorites," I requested after I reached the club.I had a lot on my mind as I found myself in the club. I swam through the dancing wet bodies, not realizing I was wet by their sweats. "Are you alright, Mr. Matt?" the bartender asked, drifting a glass of hot tequila to me. I liked it when people could tell me my state through my actions, so I did give him a reply. He could have guessed first, maybe, it would have dragged me into a conversation, letting me spew all I had in there. I was trying to lock everything with alcoholics. I picked it and gulped it down, without even trying a sip first. It was just hot in my throat, nothing much. I needed something which would help me numb the pain and forget about every tiny word Kate has said to me. "Hey dude, I want it hotter." I requested and rested my heavy wallet on the counter.I vigorously pushed the glass back for him to fill it, but unfortu
