Chapter 49
Not long. the door flung open and it turned out to be Magda.
"Oh, darling." She went over to where Katherine was crying her eyes out and engulfed her in a hug "It's okay baby. Everything will be fine. I promise you, honey."
Magda patted her back as she let her cry it all out
"Where am I going to start fram and everyone warned me against him, including my babies. I regret not listening to you all. I regret it so much." "Blaming yourself and eating yourself up will not make you feel any better.”
“But it's the truth."
"Stop all these. You don't need this, Trust me."
"Have you had anything to eat today?”
Katherine sniffled. “I'm not hungry.”
"Do you still want to go back out there?"
She shook her head.
"Same here. I don't want you to.”
"How about you clean up? I will go cover up for you outside after which I will bring you some food.” "I'm not hungry.”
“You will be hungry when you see what I have in mind for you.”
Giving her hand one more light squeeze, Magda excused herself.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
After randomly thinking about how pathetic her life was already, Katherine exhaled. She rose to her feet, took off her dress, and panties, and proceeded to the bathroom.
Lewis was making his way out of the house with a balled fist and fast steps, wondering what would become of him and what he had left to fight for. Definitely, he had no right to go back to Beatrice's party so he used the front door instead of the back door that led to the wedding reception.
He was about to walk in the direction of his car when he bumped into the stranger that ruined his life.
"How dare you?” He threw a fist at him, aiming for his left eye but Ollie was very alert to hold him still
"What the hell did you think you were about to do?"
"You bastard! Natasha sent you to come to ruin me, didn't she? You're nothing but a pathetic soul who goes around killing other people's happiness. I hope you die in misery, bitterness, and sadness." He spat at him, trying to remove his hand from his hold but Oliver wouldn't budge.
"I see no reason why you are pissed at me. You are the one who fucked your sister and kept it away from your fiancee.” "And who the hell are you to judge me for that? Or reveal my Secret?”
Oliver freed his hand. "Just go home. I'm not in the mocd to deal with your baby-ish attitude."
“You bastard!" Lewis held him by the collar with both hands.
"Get your filthy hands off me!"
"No! You deserve to be dead."
Oliver chuckled. "I'm not this calm I promise you. I can choose to kill you on this spot. You've already gotten on Katherine's bad side, so just take your leave."
"You want her, don't you? That's why you are doing all this trash.” "You would never know."
"I know. I see the way you look at her. I trust Katherine. I could swear on my life that you were the one who seduced her yesterday. You want her so bad and that is why you have to destroy all that I have with her.”
"I owe you no explanation.”
"Don't think you've won because I can promise you that this is not the end. You're going to regret ruining my life. Just watch your back.” "Interesting! I would love to see you achieve your goals,”
"I hate you so much!" Lewis said with gritted teeth
"Same here, Rival. Just get your fucking hands off me.”
"Katherine wants nothing to do with you!" He glared at Ollie, finally removing his hands from his chest.
"We shall see about that.”
"Stay away from her!”
"Why?" Oliver asked casually.
"She's mine."
He smiled. “You mean she was yours?"
"Don't test me, dude."
"You are angry because I'm telling the truth?"
"She's hurt but she's going to heal and accept me back."
Oliver smiled. He brushed a finger over his nose and took steps towards him. "Move on! That's the best advice I can give to you." Ollie patted him on the shoulder but Lewis shrugged his hand off.
"Have a nice life." Oliver whispered to him after which he took his leave.
"What?" He responded to Magda’s stare. He met her by the front entrance to the mansion
"What are you up to?”
"What do you mean?" He said each word innocently.
"Even if you want to win someone's heart, there are better ways to go about it Instead of dwelling on someone else's weakness. You know, right?" "I don't know what you're talking about.”
"I don't know what games you're trying to play but I'm gonna give you a heads up. Katherine won't fall for it."
"You're probably used to getting things done to your advantage irrespective of if it's a genuine way or not. And if it's the same approach you're applying to Katherine and your kids, I would gladly tell you that you're on the losing side."
"What does this have to do with you? The last time we saw, you could literally murder me. Why the talks?" "Trust me I'm not doing this for you and neither do I give two fucks about you."
"Then who are you doing it for?”
"Someone who paid for your sins.”
“Look, I'm not here to do any chit-chat with you. Just watch your back because if you mess with Katherine or the triplets then you will have me to deal with.” Magda excused herself and made her way to the backyard.
Not really finding sense in what the old woman said, Oliver rolled his eyes after which he made his way into the mansion.
Even though she was still very sad and probablystil depressed about what happened, Katherine felt XN awfully better when the cold water hit her-Hody. Once done in the > shower, she dried her body and changed into the nightdress-she breught into the bathroogit earlier.
Returning tothe room, Kathie went straight to her bedside. She helped herself inte the bed and got under -> the duvet: She adjusted and slepton her chest, staring at her nightstand as IR was the most beautifut thing ntie world, while deep in thought.
Katherine was brought out of her thoughts when her door flung open. She didn't bother to look in that direction because she knew who it was. “I'm not hungry, Magda."
"It's not advisable to sleep on an empty stomach.”
Hearing the strange but familiar voice, She sat up. “What the hell?!"
“Get out of my room!!!"
"You're not being nice," He mumbled as he strolled in after shutting the door behind him.
"Get out, Oliver!” She yelled at him.
"Good evening to you too.” He stopped by the couch opposite the bed and sat on it.
"What do you want? Haven't you ruined me enough?"
"I exposed your fiance's deceit. You should be thanking me."
Katherine glared at him, "What do you want?"
"I told Beatrice that you're not feeling well so you're free to stay back in your room.”
"What do you want?"
"I came to check up on you."
“Don't cry anymore because of that dude. I promise you that he isn’t worth it."
"Don't deny you are not happy with everything that's going on. Isn't it what you wanted? For me to be pathetic?"
‘I don't give two fucks about him. But for you, I still care a bit."
"The ring, good. It’s already where it belongs." He said with relief, taking a glance at the jewelry on the floor beside the door. I've known you to be a bastard but I didn't expect you to stoop so low enough to engage in all of these.”
"You were invited here for a wedding. You didn't show up for the wedding, instead, you stayed back in your room, turned yourself into a spy, and dug into people's past."
"I don't get it, would marrying your fiance have made you happy despite him not telling you the truth?”
"That would be for me ta decide. You have no right to interfere in my private life. don’t you get it?” She literally yelled at him
Just when Kathie thought she was done crying, She felt tears welling up in her eyes but she would not show her weakness before him. "You are talking about your privacy as though it doesn’t concern me.”
"Yes, it doesn't.”
"As the father of our kids?”
"For God's sake, Oliver, They don't even know you exist. They don't know who the fuck you are! You've missed seven years of their lives already, why can't you just miss the rest?!"
"Can you fucking listen to yourself right now?!” He frowned at her.
"The wedding is over. Just take your things and leave and forget that we ever existed. How hard can it be?" Oliver chuckled in disbelief, brushing a finger over the bridge of his nose.
"I thought I would take it the easy way with you. But it's looking like I'm going to lose if I go that route.”
"I know my kids are with your best friend, Michelle. I want to see them by tomorrow. I'm giving you the opportunity to mend all mistakes and tell them about me.”
"And if you prave to be stubborn, won't hesitaté-to go there myself and tell thern how their precious mother Kas been keeping them SS away from me. From what I know, theytove and respect you so-tmuch. I'nassure you won't want them to see y6u otherwise."
"If you want to play games then I think I'm going to involve the law and I promise you that custody will be mine."
