"Where is she?" Harris asked before the maid could say a word. "At the lobby, my Lord." The maid replied, dropping her gaze. "Bring her upstairs to my living room." He instructed and looked back to wave at Zack and Riley before leaving and without being told, they knew who it was. "Tsk…we are discussing a really important thing and he just goes out at the news of her arrival?" Riley sighed in disgust. "Aside from that, do you notice something else?" Zack asked, confusing Riley. "What?" She asked curiously, thinking Zack was with her. "That smile is different from his usual fake smiles. That smile is just like the one he used to have 10 years ago. He lost his smile for over 10 years, now that he finally found a reason to smile again, you should be happy for him rather than being jealous. After all, Harris was never yours." Zack advised before standing up with the documents in his hand to carry out Harris' order. "He is not the only one that lost his smile. I did too and so did y
"IN YOUR DREAMS, MR. LYCAN KING." She yelled at him and immediately dropped the document on the table and stomped off and this time, Harris didn't stop her. "See you later, my sweet muffin!" He waved to her instead and Katherine just turned and growled at him before leaving. As she walked down the pathway of Harris' room, she bumped into Alpha Zack again. "Nice to have you here, my lady." Zack greeted her as he bowed respectfully to her. 'I'm neither your lady nor is it nice to be here.' She thought to herself. "Thank you, but you can call me Katherine." She replied politely as she was too scared to speak her mind to Zack unlike she always does to Harris. "I wish I could but I won't be able to do that. The Lycan King already accepted you, which makes you second to him so I…" "Please spare me the…" Her voice trailed off when she remembered the slap she received from him. "I'm s-sorry…" She stammered but Zack only smiled and asked to be excused and she also sighed and left. Zac
"You know…after your release two days ago, I was suspended because of you. Don't you think you should do something about it? I really hate staying off work." She suggested, frequently rubbing her hand over her face to help her sober up. Harris chuckled and reached for his phone from the front pocket of his jeans and afterward, dialed a number. "How can my Luna be suspended from the office?" He asked as soon as his call was answered."My Lord, I thought…" "She'd resume work by tomorrow just so you know." He interrupted the Colonel and ended the call before he could reply.A loud clap drew his attention back to Katherine as she clapped and laughed mischievously."Woah! Just a call and my suspension has been canceled. How does it feel to be so powerful and always get whatever you desire?" She asked enviously with shut eyes, trying to prevent herself from dizziness. "That's what I want you to feel first hand. What are your other conditions?" He asked, his eyes filled with concern but
"And what will you do with her? Kill her like you killed her husband and others?" Katherine thundered, clenching her fist in anger but Harris could only chuckle. "She is my would-be in-law so I definitely can't harm her. I'm just going to allow her to stay here until our coronation rituals are over." He explained to the angry Katherine but it only made her angrier. "Do you think my mom won't find out if I suddenly move in with you? Either way my mom will still find out and that is what I desperately want to avoid." She yelled in exasperation. "You should know how generous I am by now. If you hold up to your end of the contract, I promise your mom won't find out unless you tell her." He replied. "How are you going to do that? What makes you think I will believe your lies again?" She asked angrily. "If you don't believe me, that's your choice but remember what the Colonel told you about your new boss? You will have to report your work to me from tomorrow onwards. I can ask the
"I'm talking to you, Kathy!" Klaus added, reminding Katherine of his question."Brother, a lot has happened in your absence and we can't just talk about them here. Let's talk tomorrow when you are well rested." She replied thoughtfully, convincing his brother and ending the conversation there."My baby seems to have become more mature and thoughtful. You're right, let's talk tomorrow. Mom also has a lot to catch up with her family members and she advised us to sleep early…""But it doesn't seem like you both were going to sleep early when I came in earlier." Katherine mumbled and she noticed Isabella slowly bit her lower lip in embarrassment. "Tsh…by the way, mom said you were on suspension but where are you coming from so late? Don't try to lie because Jason was here to welcome us." Klaus asked, folding his hand on his chest."Uhmm…why don't you just continue what you were doing before I interrupted? I really have to sleep." She suggested and attempted to leave but Klaus pulled her
"Mommy!" Katherina screamed, a hot tear fleeing out of her eyes as she ran towards her mom. Klaus gently shoved Katherine aside and quickly performed CPR on her. "What happened to mom all of a sudden? She was doing fine just now." Katherine asked Isabella curiously.Isabella was already shivering in fear but she had to tell them what happened, "She…we were talking and we happened to mention your…father." She stammered knowing the consequences of her actions. "What? I've cautioned you severally before bringing you down here never to talk about my father in her presence but you still went ahead and defied my warning?" Klaus asked as he stared briefly at her in disgust and disappointment.He was able to normalize his mom's breathing but she lost her consciousness afterward but being a doctor, Klaus knew what to do. He carried his mom from the ground in bridal style and took her upstairs to help her relax on her bed while Katherine and Isabella followed him with teary eyes. "Katherin
"One way or the other we need to get it out of there before she notices it," Harris suggested. "Yes but the lockers are computerized and locked with passwords. If we try to break in, she will be alarmed and she will definitely become suspicious. The only way is to have her open it by herself." Zack explained. "She can't find out about everything just yet! My whole 10 years of suffering will go down the drain and the King and his Luna will really abandon me!" Harris panicked, pacing around the room. "You don't have to panic, My Lord. We are not sure yet if she actually wrote anything…" "I know Ella! She definitely wrote something huge. I have a gut feeling. It's definitely huge. All our struggles might end with just that note. I'm sure Katherine must have already gone to work by now. Inform our people at the station to keep an eye on her. I will try to come up with a plan." Harris suggested and Zack just agreed with him and quickly put a call through to the police. THE REYNOLDS BU
"Uhmm...she must be resting in the ro…" "That's a lie mom!" Katherine interrupted her brother. "He scolded Isabella so harshly earlier for escalating your condition, I'm sure the poor girl must be in so much pain now." She reported, surprising their mom. "And what did you do while he was scolding her?" Mrs. Reynolds asked Katherine. "Mom, I-I...what could I have done when…" Mrs. Reynolds heaved a sigh of distress, interrupting Katherine with her scary side glare. "You both keep going on and on about how I shouldn't think too much about your dad but you keep giving me reasons to talk about him. All our years together as a family, have you ever seen him scold me so harshly? He was a great warrior but he was never rude to women talk more of his own woman. I'm so disappointed in you, Klaus! And I'm sure your father is." Mrs. Reynolds reprimanded, dropping her head in disappointment. "Mom, I'm…I'm sorry." Klaus apologized, moving his eyes round every corner of the room as he tried t
