Lucas got to Katrina's house as fast as he could after Jordan called him but it had taken longer than he had wanted because he had been in Florida when Jordan had called, he had been trying to reach Katrina since he woke up but she wasn't taking her calls so he had called Jordan to go check on her but then Jordan had called sounding worried, he found Katrina's door open but she wasn't there.
"Jordan, hey, any news?"He asked as he got in, Jordan was talking on the phone."Welcome Lucas, nothing yet, I just spoke with the estate security,"He replied, which made Lucas even more scared, what could have happened and why did she leave her door open? It's being over eight hours and she wasn't back yet, he went into her bedroom and found her phone there,""Oh God,"He voiced as he came back to the living room."I found her phone, where could she have gone to without a car or her phone?""I have a bad feeling about this Lucas, Katrina is not the typeKatrina got off the bed and looked through the window, she could only see water, in her prison-like room, she has been able to convince Nas that the seal on the window doesn't need to be there since she can't leave through there and he had finally removed it, it's been almost a week since she got here, precisely six days, by this night it would be seven days and still no hope of her getting rescued, she had tried to find a way, trying to run away every day but as the days came and went, she saw how hopeless her case was, she didn't know where she never knew a place like this existed in New York, so she decided to give up on trying to escape and plan another way of getting out of here which was to makeNas think she was finally coming back to her senses and falling in love with him, she didn't know how long it will take to build that trust, maybe weeks or months? Would she give birth to her baby here without any help? But so far, he has given her some breathing space, not
She ran as much as her big tummy could let her, he was chasing her and threatening to shoot, she was betting on the fact that he couldn't kill her and hoped he won't, she passed the house, running towards the palm groves, hoping to get a good hiding spot, she looked back, he was coming, she dashed into the palm groves and hid, hoping and praying that he won't find her, she wasn't sure anymore if she had heard correctly or if she has imagined the sound of the plane earlier, it was already dark, so she hopped the night could serve as hiding for her, she didn't mind swimming out of here but there was no way she was going with Nas."Come out, come out, where ever you are,"Nas voiced, he was close, she heard her breath praying for him not to find her."Please,"She pleaded silently. "Found you,"He said with an evil laugh that brought tears to her eyes, he pulled her out of her hiding place and slapped her hard, not just once but twice, she had bad luck wh
"Are you ever going to give me an answer?"Lucas asked as they sat together in Lucas's room in Arizona, it's been a month since the incident with Nas and a lot of things have happened since that time, first, she had to spend the whole of her first week back at the hospital, her family pestering her with their love and attention, then Lucas's mom made it clear she wanted them back home in Arizona for the time being, Nas was arrested at first but then his medical records proved that he is infact not mentally okay, he was sent to the mental health care center, of course, he didn't want that but that's what the Court ruled, Katrina didn't want to be roped into many legal dealings as she didn't want to keep having to recount every of her experience so she had told Lucas that she didn't want to be a part of whatever legal actions that were going to be taken against him, so far all she knew was that he was sent to the mental health care center, she didn't know the rest of it even thou
"Your wife is on her way to the chapel son,"Lucas heard his mom say and his heart skipped a beat, this was really happening, he was getting married today to the love of his life, it still felt surreal even though it was happening, during the preparations for the big day, each morning he wakes up and doubts for a moment if it was really happening and she reminds him each time that it was, he still didn't know if he deserves all the love and attention she gives him, if it was okay for him to feel this much happiness and love, a little over a ten months, ago, he had thought himself incapable of love and being loved but now, getting ready for his big day, the day he thought he was never going to witness, was like a dream, a dream he didn't want to ever wake up from."Mom, this is really happening? I am getting married? Kat really loves me?""Of course son, all are happening and Katrina loves you, you deserve to be loved my dear and you got the best, I just know your life
Katrina woke up to the sound of her alarm, opening her eyes she yawned and rubbed her eyes with her hand. Sluggishly getting up from her bed she went to her bathroom brushed her teeth and washed her face.Then she came back and sat on her reading table. She opened her laptop to check and be sure she had everything prepared for the new week.Katrina work as a Secretary for Lucas Evans."Lucas"she called she was used to calling out his name at odd times when she is alone.Her boss and the man she fell for. the one she has been in love with for almost five years now. She didn't know how the feelings started somehow between working together and going on business trips together she had somehow come to love her boss a man way out of her reach.Initially, when she had started working for Lucas she had disliked him because he was arrogant and a big-time womanizer but between six years ago and now she had managed to get
"Katrina, in my office right now".Katrina heard as soon as she answered the phone. " Okay sir" she replied dropping the office phone and picking up her notepad. quickly checking to make sure her makeup is in place and her skirt in order. She walked to her boss office knocked on the door and entered"Sir, you called for me?""Katrina how many times have I told you to call me by my name? Especially when it's just the two of us Like we have been working together for almost seven years now.""Si... I mean Lucas it's just that it won't seem professional if I call you by your first name when you are my boss" and it will give me hope that the impossible might happen. Katrina added the last part in her head."Whatever you say, lady, I prefer it when people call me by my name especially people I am close with.We are not that close,Katrina said in her head."Anyway, the reason I called for yo
"Hi, Jord what's up?"Kat asked as she answered the phone."Hey, bestie are you home?""Yes, I just got home.""Okay I am coming over""What I thought you will be spending today with Kel?"Katrina asked bewildered she didn't like the tone of his voice."What happened Jordan?""Kelvin and I broke up." He said"Oh my God Jord are you okay what happened?" She asked stunned.I don't wanna talk about it on the phone that's why I am coming over do you have alcohol in the fridge or should I get on my way there?" He asked"Jord you know you can't drink on weekdays.""I will get some on my way."He said ignoring what she said and hung up before she could reply. The sadness in his voice made her sad as well. Jordan was usually a cheerful person. He rarely let his sadness or emotions get the better of him, he had always been the rational and realistic
"When do you plan on coming in for work Kat?"Lucas voiced out as soon as she picked the call, she knew she shouldn't have drunk last night, she checked the time and it was about five-thirty and she did a retake to make sure she heard him right, why would he expect her to be at work by five-thirty am?"Hello, sir it's five-thirty in the morning why will I be at work already?""I know the time, we had an agreement remember?""What agreement and why does it involve me coming to work early,""Can't, don't you remember?""Remember what?"Katrina asked, she was feeling so low, hangovers were the worst shits to deal with and hers was always extreme, this is why you shouldn't have drunk. She mentally scolded herself while trying hard to remember what she and Lucas had talked about but nothing was clicking."Did you have an anemia cuz I sent you a text last night to get here early today and told you that I will get the driver to come to pick you up bu
