But William hadn’t had any other business at the Central Park. In fact, all he’d done was walk beside her and talk to her about mundane things like the weather, the traffic, and the sandwich she loved to get for lunch at her favorite deli. And the moment they had arrived at her flat, he retrieved his belongings then told her ‘have a good day, Kate’ before walking out of the front door, leaving her completely confused.  Kate hadn’t commented and simply took a shower then went back to her work. All of her days had been spent in front of her laptop and by the time she realized how many hours had passed by, it was already two in the afternoon. She leaned back in her chair and stretched her body. Her stomach growled in protest but she refused to move her butt to the kitchen and prepared herself a decent meal. Instead, she continued to work by the window until it was three PM. 

It was Friday afternoon and Katherine Bennet had just finished sending the last contract she had drafted to the publishing house’s legal team when her doorbell rang. “Who is it?” she asked as she approached the door. When there was no reply, she curiously peered into the peeking hole only to be surprised to see Paris de Bourgh, her nemesis, standing on the other side of the door.  “You clearly have seen me so why don’t you just open the door and get this over with?” said Paris, arching one of her eyebrows in an aristocratic manner that would make her predecessors proud. After all, unlike Kate who was born in a middle-class family, Paris was born with a silver spoon.  Kate heaved a sigh before unlocking the door and swinging it open. “What do you want, Paris?” “Why?” Paris tilted her head to one side, a

“Well that is it, I am not lying,” said Katherine with a low chuckle.  Jaxon watched her for a few seconds then sighed. “You may be able to fool me for the first few days but not forever, Katherine. Not this long.” He glanced at William who was still in the bar before turning back to Kate. “I know he has been here in New York all this time. You do not need to cover for him anymore, Katherine. Tell me, are you truly unhappy with your marriage?”  He continued to stare at her as he waited for her reply. He was truly worried and was never entirely convinced when his best friend had first informed him that she was going to marry his horrible ex, William. Even though she had never said it to him and despite her own words telling him that William had only been nothing but a summer memory, he always knew how much she actually liked that asshole.  “I am alright, Jax.” She took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Her lips stretched into a convincing s

William bent down to pull up his pants then picked up his discarded tie on the kitchen counter next to Kate's shawl. He turned around only to find Kate having trouble pulling the zipper of her dress up. He moved behind her and softly pushed her hand away. "Allow me." Once he finally zippered her dress properly, he took her shawl off the counter and draped it on her shoulders.  She turned around, her hands were on her head as she tried to fix her hair. "How do I look?" Her blue eyes widened as she looked directly at him, waiting for h

Kate was sitting on the bed as she watched William's maids putting her things neatly into their joint closet. Glancing down at her phone, she bit her bottom lip as her heart was slowly but surely filled with guilt. She had told William that she was going to inform her landlord to rent out her flat and yet she found herself keeping on putting it off. At first, she had said to herself that she was simply waiting until all of her things had been moved out to William's place before informing her landlord. Now, having most of her essential things already moved here to William's apartment, she still could not bring herself to call her landlord even though s
