KATERINA My grip on the tray tightened even more when I heard Luca's words, my knuckles turned white, burning from the pressure. My memories travelled back to four years ago, the night of the incident that led us to where we were at the moment. I recalled how surprised I was when Lucas showed the message to me. How I tried to convince him that I wasn't the one who sent the message. How I pleaded to him to believe me but…he never wanted to listen to anything that I said. I recalled the chilling look in those blue eyes. How he gazed at me as if I was the worst creature that had ever existed. I recalled his words, painful and sharp, piercing my heart like shards of ice, leaving it heavy and numb. I bit the insides of my cheeks till I tasted iron in my mouth, blood. The corner of my lips curved into a smile, bitter, that barely reached my eyes, way too far. “I see it took you long enough to realise that I was saying the truth.” I laughed. No! It wasn't funny. I was trying to

A FEW DAYS LATER KATERINA I crouched to Bella's level, taking her little shaky hands in my and gave them a gentle squeeze. Even though she hadn't said a word, I could see fear in those blue eyes. I hated to see my little girl so scared of life and what is awaiting her ahead. I hated it even more that…there was nothing I could do about it. Releasing a slow sigh, the side of my lips lifted up into a smile. A smile that barely reached my eyes. “You don't need to be afraid. It's going to be okay my love. Mommy is right here with you. Mommy isn't going to leave you because you're my princess.” I said, giving her hand another gentle squeeze. She released a nervous breath, her lips curving into a smile. The fear in her eyes faded away when she heard my words, squeezing back my hand. “Here is your teddy bear Bella, I brought it with me. When you feel scared, just squeeze it and everything is going to be okay.” Asher told her sister, handing her the pink teddy bear which was one of

KATERINA THREE DAYS LATER Staring at my reflection in the vanity mirror, a deep breath escaped my lips. A breath that I had been holding onto for the past three days. I could feel that unsettling feeling at the tip of my stomach. The day that we all have been waiting for was finally here. However, we didn't know what was waiting ahead of us. For a second, I wished I could be a fortune teller so that… My mind jolted back to the present when a soft knock on the door cut through the quiet air. Blowing a breath, I granted whoever was knocking the permission to enter. The door clicked open and David walked in. He was wearing a black tuxedo from our latest collection which was launched a few days ago. His hair was brushed away from the face and his grey eyes were bright. His lips curled up into a smile as he swept his eyes over me, and I couldn't help but smile back, nervous. Just like he promised, he was here to support me. “You look beautiful,” He complimented. I was wearing an o

KATERINA “Lucas Thompson, you're here to testify and you have sworn to the court that you’ll only say the truth.” He nodded confidently.“Can you explain to the court why you changed your mind? During the preliminary hearing, you were on the defendant's side. Did Mrs Katerina Mackenzie convince you to side with her?” The corner of my lips curved into a smile, finding amusement in the question.I might not be perfect, however, forcing someone to do something against their will wasn't one of those imperfections.“ I made the decision myself, in my right mind, without anyone's influence. I’m old enough to make my own decisions without anyone telling me what to do. Kate didn't force me to do anything” He turned his head to look at me and I flashed him a smile, giving David's hand a little squeeze.I have never been the kind that would force someone to do what they didn't want to. I believed in the entitlement of one’s decision and opinions. No matter how much it hurt sometimes, I always

KATERINA Soft voices and laughter filled the air inside the dining hall. The sweet aroma waffled in the air and wine glasses were filled with the amber liquid.We're back at the big house where we had been staying for the past three days. I looked around the table, my lips curving into a smile. Everyone looked happy and more relaxed compared to how stressful they looked in the morning.Heaving a sigh, I reached for the glass of wine. I couldn't remember when was the last time it felt this good to have dinner. My mind was calm. My soul too. I hadn't felt this way for the longest time.I used the fork to tap on the glass of wine, capturing everyone's attention as they turned their eyes on me.“Sorry for the distraction.” I apologised, darting my eyes around the table and they nodded in silent understanding.“First of all, I would like to thank all of you for sticking around throughout the court hearing. It was…long, tiring-kinda of boring.” I joked.“It was kinda fun to watch Stephanie
