The sound of my phone ringing jars me up from my sleep, and I grope around the bed for it with my eyes closed. When I finally found it, I brought it closer to my face to see the caller, and seeing my mother’s name shown on the phone screen, I jumped out of bed. I knew I was in big trouble because I forgot to call her the day before to let her know I had arrived safely and I was now settled in. I knew she’d nag me about it, and I needed to prepare my body, mind, and spirit for the harsh words she’d fire at me.
When I got out of bed, I went straight to the living room so I wouldn't wake Kate, who is still sleeping peacefully, probably in her dream world.
“Good morning, Mum.” I greeted the instant I answered the phone.
“Good morning? Really? Is there anything about this morning that is genuinely good? It’s 8 a.m., and I called you all night, but you didn’t return my calls. Is it too difficult

{Katherine}Dinner with Dad and his wife was even better than I thought it would be, they both received me with love. Rachel, Dad’s new wife, was lovely and treated me as if I were her daughter; kind of like the version of mum I never had.She asked about school and if it was hard for me, and also how I was doing. I found it easy opening up to her, telling her how I wanted to live a free life, free of the pressure, and doing things that didn’t benefit me. She smiled and told me that things would get better soon and that I should hang in there a little longer.Rachel told me that dad had been extremely happy when he saw me in his office that day and that he didn’t let her rest a single day when I accepted his invitation to have dinner with them. She also told me of the room he had prepared for me in case I came over.“Your father said you’d be staying the night. I’m glad be

ALEXANDERThey were at it again. There wasn’t a day that went by that my parents didn’t argue about unimportant matters.They must have forgotten they had a child who could pick up on their bad behavior. I wished they’d just get a divorce and move on with their separate lives.I mostly blamed them for how I turned out.Growing up, they didn’t care how I did at home, I was always left alone with the maids and a nanny who would take care of my needs. They were indifferent about my grades or anything else going on at school. All they cared about was going on business trips to different countries. Their time at home was spent exchanging unpleasant words with one another.I grew up with no idea what it was like to be loved by my parents or what was the meaning of love. My nanny was the only one who ever showed me love, but I found out that to be a lie when she sexually assaulted me.I cried and told my parents about it several times, but they dismissed it as me making up stories to get th

KATHERINE THRONESThis was not how I had imagined my day going: running into Alexander Xander Walter, an absolute nightmare and the last person I ever wanted to run into at school. I locked my gaze on his retreating back, just moments after he declared me his toy in front of his friends. I didn’t say anything because no matter what I said to him, he would say something to refute it.Was this how my peaceful life was going to end in a single day because I had bumped into him?I’m not going to be one of those girls on his list. It will never happen!My attention was drawn to the buzzing of my phone. I checked it, and as soon as I saw Katie’s name, I remembered that I was supposed to have a test. It was 7:30 a.m. already. I cursed aloud and dashed back toward the class, this time taking care not to collide with anyone.When I arrived at the class, there was no lecturer in sight, and nothing on the board indicated that the test had taken place.I exhaled a sigh of relief and looked aroun

KATHRINE THRONESWhat just happened?Everything seemed like magic to me; it felt unreal but I knew it was. I’d just been thrown into a situation from which I couldn’t get out. Alexander had just told the entire school that I was his.How do I get away from this, especially from his maniacs vying for his attention? Why the hell did he leave those girls who had been waiting for an opportunity and choose me, someone who couldn’t care less about him or how famous he was?All eyes were on me. He succeeded in ruining both my lunch as well as my peace at college. Nothing I could say right now would convince them; they’d all think I was making an excuse for being bounced. My presence here was not going to help either. I’d better get out of here before someone throws their food at me out of disgust. I was about to leave after dropping the tray on the table when I was pulled back by my shirt, face to face with the girl who the maniac was always seen with almost every day.Everyone thought they

KATHERINE THRONES“Katie, this is insane. I can’t believe I’m listening to this. I almost got beaten up by his minions today, but you want me to be his fake girlfriend. No way in hell am I doing this! I had thought about it several times and it still didn’t make sense to me.I was trying to live a completely quiet life, finish my degree, and then leave. Get a job or work at Dad’s company, which he offered but I haven’t accepted yet until he tells me what happened between Mum and him and why they separated. Everything was already in place for me, and now she wanted me to get involved in a drama that didn't concern me.I couldn’t picture myself with Alexander, no matter how she worded it. Everything about him disgusted me: his attitude, his personality, the way he slept around, and then having girls chase after him as if he were a deity. He was trouble I should avoid, and that’s exactly what I was going to do.“Come on, Katherine, it’s won’t be difficult. Remember how you said you wante

ALEXANDERAfter telling the school who I wanted, I couldn’t help but smile. I knew I’d made things difficult for her, and I loved it. I wanted to her break to the point where she had to come to me begging for help, where she had to rely on me to keep her safe from the ladies who wanted me.I set the timer, hoping she’d barge in through the door where I usually hung out to ask for my help, but she didn’t. She was acting tough. That was one hell of a competition, but I enjoyed it. I wondered how long it would take her to snap.Throughout the rest of the class, she was my sole focus. My gaze never left her. I observed her scribbling on her notes and attentively listening to the lecturer. Every one of her moves was cute, and they made me smile. I wanted her. There was something about her that stood out from the other girls I'd met. She was one-of-a-kind and carried herself with elegance. Even though she didn’t dress classy or expose her body like the other ladies, she looked elegant in he

KATHERINE THRONESThis is a dream, nothing more. Everything that happened yesterday was a dream, but today is a new day, and there will be no Alexander living next door, only that grumpy young man with a bad attitude.“It was just a dream, nothing else.” As I got out of bed to start preparing for college, I said to myself. Today would be a practical day, so I needed to wear something that wouldn’t restrict my movement. I needed to be at my best. I had been slacking, and if I didn’t buckle up, Mum would have to come down here, which I didn’t need right now, nor did I need her constant calls about my grades and how she wanted the best for me.I walked to the mirror to style my hair after putting on a pair of black trousers, a blue oversized t-shirt, and a pair of black Converse. After some deliberation, I decided to simply put it in a ponytail. My phone pinged and when I went to pick it up and saw it was a message from Katie, I smiled to myself. She was checking in on me, asking how my

KatherineThe car ride to school was awkward. I sat in the front passenger seat, while Katie sat in the seat behind me. She and Alex talked and laughed the entire way to school, while I remained silent and listened to their conversation.They looked compatible, which made me wonder why Alexander never gave Katie a chance and seemed to have completely forgotten about her. It made me wonder if it had always been a one-sided relationship. I wasn’t really sure. After all, based on their conversation, Alexander didn’t seem to remember who Katie was, or was he just pretending not to remember her because I was there?Fvck!! This was making me very confused! Why was I stuck in the middle of something I didn’t want? All I wanted was a quiet and peaceful life, but that is coming to an end as of today. Agreeing to follow him to school marked the end of my quiet and free life.Everyone’s attention was drawn to us the moment we arrived at school. To make matters worse, Alexander refused to allow u
