All Chapters of Paramour: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

KATE was at school when she received a call from Jan’s mother. She has no classes, though. However, she was at the library with her classmates, doing a group activity.“Excuse me. I need to answer this.” She left her seat and went out of the library. “Mom,” Kate said the moment she answered the call.“Hi, Katherine. I called to ask if you’re free this afternoon. Maybe we can have lunch together and go shopping. Well… if you’re busy, it’s fine with me.”“Oh. Uhm…” She glanced at her wristwatch. “I’ll be free around two pm. Is that okay with you?”“Oh. Great! I’ll go pick you up at your place—”“Oh, Mom… I’m at school right now. I’ll just—”“I’ll pick you up at school then. Okay?”“Hm.”“See you later, Katherine. `Bye.” Jan&rs

“WHO let my wife ride that fucking horse?”She woke up in a jolt upon hearing Jan’s voice roaring inside the room. After the accident, Kate was immediately rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, she did not get any major injury, but she strained her lower back, making it hard for her to move around. Now she was back at home, resting on their bed.“Miss Winona came this morning, and they went to the stables. I wasn’t there. I didn’t know who let her ride the horse. We just rushed there when Miss Winona informed us that my poor Kate fell from the horse,” her nanny explained calmly.Kate closed her eyes again when she saw Jan turning in her direction. She then heard him heave a sigh.“I’ll leave her to you now,” said Nana Talia.She then heard the hinges creaked when the door opened and closed.Kate felt the cushion move when Jan sat beside her. But she kept her eyes close and stayed sti

KATE knew it was already morning. She heard the alarm ring a few minutes ago, but it was still dark inside the bedroom. She sat up slowly and saw that the curtains were still closed. Perhaps, Jan did not open them when he got up so she could get more sleep.She jumped out of bed and went inside the bathroom. Jan was already showering, getting ready to go to work.“Jan,” Kate muttered as she sat down on the toilet seat. “Why are you leaving so early today?”He turned off the shower and slid the door open. “What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”“I said… Why are you leaving so early in the morning?” She yawned. She had slept seven hours, yet it felt like it was not enough.“I usually go to work this early. You just didn’t notice it because you’re still fast asleep most of the time whenever I leave for work.” He went back to showering, but he kept the door open. Perhap

JAN brought Kate to that hotel where they first met right after their test drive.“What are we doing here?” she asked upon entering the suite.But he did not respond and just ushered her to the bed, where she saw a huge box above it. Beside it was a small box that she presumed contained a pair of shoes and a much smaller box that she guessed was jewelry, which only meant that the huge box had a dress inside it. She slowly turned in his direction.Jan was already taking off his tie.“What’s the meaning of this?” Kate asked, puzzled.“Take a bath and get dressed, Katherine.” He sauntered towards her. “Because you and I are going on a date.” Jan kissed the tip of her nose.She folded her arms across her chest and chuckled. “A date? What’s the occasion?”He arched a brow. “I don’t need occasions to take my wife on a date.”“Oh.”

KATE shook hands with the shareholders after the signing of the documents. Though she was feeling elated at that moment, she could not help but worry about her aunt’s reaction.“Congratulations again, Katherine,” said Mr. Ramirez. “Anyway, you should attend the next board meeting, so we can officially appoint you as the new Chief Executive Officer.”“Don’t worry about it, Mr. Ramirez,” Jan said. “We will make sure that she’s present at the next board meeting.”“Ah, that’s nice to hear.” Mr. Ramirez turned to her again. “And good luck with Bernice. I’m sure she would throw a fuss.”“And speaking of the devil… there she is,” Jan said while looking in the direction of the door.Kate’s fists clenched when she saw her aunt walking in her direction.“And what’s the meaning of this?” Aunt Bernice snarled.
