” Okay. If you think my decision to come here was wrong then you can go from this place. I already told you about it. And again repeating the same” he said in a serious tone.

She felt so emotional with his words. Tears started streaming out of her eyes. ” So….you think… I will leave you like a selfish woman, huh! ” she asked, fisting his shirt. Then she continued, ” I love you dammit, I love you more than myself. That’s why I didn’t come to you and also hid about our Sam’s birth in the past. I wanted you to be safe and happy”. 

She took her hands away from him, ” If I leave this place then it is with you. And also remember my words, if anything to our unborn baby then I will not forgive you in my life. You will be responsible for it. And if it happens, I will leave you permanently with our Sam “. After saying those words, she walked out of the bedroom without looking at him.

He could understand what she was going through in her heart. He witnessed how her state was when Sam met with an accident. Not only that he saw how scared when she had a bad dream about the unborn baby. He knew that being a mother her fears and insecurities were right. Thinking about their situation, he sat on the bed, holding his head with both of his hands.

He couldn’t take his step back as the war had already started between Grayson and himself. He knew if he stepped back then he would have to suffer all his life and have to lead his life like a coward. He thought he should take every step carefully while protecting his pregnant wife and his unborn princess.

His chain of thoughts was disturbed when the maid knocked on the door.

” Master….Please come for dinner ” she informed, bowing her head. He checked the time and noticed it was half-past nine. 

” Am I sitting for one hour? Then where is Kathie! ” he thought.

” Where is Katherine? ” he asked the maid.

” I saw her in the living room a few minutes back, ” she informed him and turned to leave. Suddenly, he remembered about Emily. He stopped the maid and asked whether she had dinner or not.

” I went to give dinner to her in the guest room. She told me that she was not hungry and asked to place it on the table ” the maid informed him and left the room.

After listening to the maid’s words, he walked out of his room. He cursed that he forgot about Emily. He walked towards the guest room. Before entering he knocked on the door which was already opened. 

Emily, who heard Adrian’s voice, quickly wiped her tears with the backside of her palms. She plastered a fake smile and looked at him.

” Why didn’t you have your dinner! ” Adrian asked her.

” I am not hungry. I want to sleep, ” she replied.

” Stop telling me lies. Don’t forget I am your friend. You can’t hide anything from me, ” he said and held her wrist. Then he took the plate on the table and asked to eat the food.

Emily denied eating the food whereas Adrian forced her to eat. When she was behaving like a stubborn kid, he took a spoonful of the pasta and placed it near her mouth. He started pleading to eat the food as she looked tired and weak. At last, Emily opened her mouth to not make Adrian worried because of her.

” That’s like a good girl… ” He smiled and fed the pasta on her plate. He thought of spending some time with Emily so that she would forget what happened at her father’s place.

…..

After a while, Katherine stepped out of the elevator and heard Adrian’s voice from the guest bedroom. Then she remembered about Emily. She wanted to talk with her and wanted to know what exactly happened at her father’s place. She walked towards the room and found Emily’s face was on Adrian’s chest whereas Adrian was comforting her sitting beside on the bed. She felt so hurt to see them like that. She felt dejected as he didn’t come searching for her after the argument. Instead, he was spending his time with her not caring for her.

She turned back and walked silently towards their bedroom. She changed into a nightgown and lay on the bed. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep but she could hear the news about Adrian and Emily’s relationship. She trusts him and also has faith in their love but she has no trust in her fate. 

Many negative thoughts in her mind were making her restless. So she thought to make a video call to Ruby and talk with her for some time. She made a call but she didn’t attend. A few minutes later, Steven made a call and informed her that she was sleeping. 

” Okay. I will call her later. Bye ” she informed him and ended the call. Whenever she was confused, upset or worried, she used to share with Martin. She used to take his advice and also he used to be her moral support. After the argument with Adrian, she wanted to talk with her best friend. She was missing him so much. He tried to call him many times before coming to her hometown. But he never attended her call.

This time with small hope, she made a call to his number. As always he didn’t answer her call.

” I am missing you so much. Please come back…” she messaged him. She felt so lonely as no one was there to understand her feelings. Her eyes became wet with tears.

Just then, Adrian stepped inside the room and noticed Katherine sitting on the bed. He didn’t want to argue with her so he quietly went to change into nightwear. She sensed his presence in the room but didn’t look at him. 

She stood from the bed, taking a pillow and a sheet. She placed them on the couch and laid on her back, closing her eyes. After changing his dress, he noticed her sleeping on the couch.

” Kathie…Why are you sleeping on the couch? Don’t you know your back will be hurt? ” he questioned her. 

She ignored his words and didn’t reply to him as if she didn’t hear anyone’s voice.
