Caught Red Handed
Katherine's POV
I bade my colleagues goodbye as I stood in front of the company. The rain was threatening to fall so I went back into the company to check if my umbrella was there.
I realized I didn’t take it along, that's one of my silly sides. How could I have forgotten? I sighed, I think I had to leave without the umbrella.
I walked back out, but the rain had already started, which made me sigh more, but I wasn’t going to let it spoil my mood.
It was getting late, and the rain was pouring hard, but I was determined to get to where I was going before the night came. I've been waiting for this opportunity for three weeks
The cab I took parked in front of his house, and I got out in a hurry to see him. It was hard getting one because of the rain, so I had walked half the road before getting a ride.
I wasn’t bothered because I knew I would be able to change into his pajamas when I got there. I decided to surprise my boyfriend knowing he’ll be back by now.
I didn't bother to knock when I walked into the house of my boyfriend, Felix. I have a spare key to his house, so I opened it and came in, locking the door back from inside.
He was finally back from the business trip his company sent him on and I wanted to be the first person to welcome him back home. I was so happy that I was excited and nervous at the same time.
I couldn't wait to hold him again, to hug him and most of all to have him inside me. I've missed him so much that I can't even explain how I feel.
He left without seeing me because I was busy at work, too. I didn’t mean to, but he also got the announcement about the trip late.
I entered the living room, hoping to surprise him with a box of chocolates I bought from the supermarket on my way here. I expected to meet him immediately but I didn't.
He wasn't in the sitting room. He’s probably in the kitchen.
I went to the kitchen to check if he was there because he really loved to cook and he might be cooking his dinner.
When I got to the kitchen, he still wasn't there.
“Maybe he was resting in his room then.” I thought. I left the kitchen immediately because I was too excited to stay there for long. All I wanted right now was to see him.
As I got closer to the room, I saw that the door was left open. It was opened halfway. I was thinking that maybe he had just gone inside, which was why his door was left open.
But why would he open his door? I remember that no matter how tired he was, he wouldn’t open his door halfway because he hated having his privacy invaded.
I’ll surely tease him when I get to him and see him asleep. I chucked to myself silently. I walked faster, trying to get to his room. The mansion was big, but not so big.
I was hearing some noises coming from his room, but I didn't know what it was, so I pushed his room door so that I could enter, and I was extremely shocked by what I saw.
On top of the bed, I saw two people, they were familiar, but I didn’t want to admit it. Felix and Diana. I closed my eyes again trying to process what I had just seen.
They didn’t hear me enter because they were too engrossed in what they were doing.
I stood for a moment to see if I was mistaken, and maybe I was still in the Uber, making some imaginations in my head.
Felix’s back was facing me, and his hands were resting comfortably on Diana’s two breasts. He was playing with her nipples. He was sucking on them while she was moaning.
She was lying down on the bed, and they were both moaning loudly as he was fucking her, he pulled her closer.
“Harder,” Diana moaned out loudly.
“Faster, baby,” She said again.
Her moaning was loud as if she didn't care that she was having sex with my own boyfriend. They became louder and louder and I couldn't take it anymore
The world around me started to turn around. I couldn't believe what I just saw. My head was spinning. I couldn't stand properly so I had to rest on the door that was behind me.
As I stepped back, I almost fell down because of Diana’s heels on the floor, and dropped the chocolates that I was holding.
The sound made Felix stop what he was doing immediately and he looked back to see me
He was so shocked, he separated himself from Diana while she covered herself up with the duvet on the bed. She rolled her eyes.
Felix got up from the bed immediately and came to where I was standing. He was still naked and his shaft was still hard and dangling between his legs when he walked up to me.
“You guys, you guys…”
He couldn't even be decent enough to cover up his naked body.
“Katherine…” he stammered, "This is not what it looks like.
Katherine's POV Penelope sighed again, even more dramatic than she was before."Please don't say that to me."Those were Fake concern, fake innocence, pretending to be the best of all. Yet the women immediately comforted her, not me, showing how low they think. Aunt Vivian shook her head, like she was tbd victim and not me."Penelope, everyone knows the truth."I frowned at their display of concern, their dramatic self on show. What truth are they talking about? The older woman continued what she was saying. "You loved Dave so dearly like yourself."My stomach started boiling in anger at their stupidity. "And everyone expected you to marry him not a complete stranger."Penelope lowered her head, using the opportunity to play the victim perfectly."I made mistakes."Aunt Vivian hugged her to herself, to console her like a mother would to a her child."We all do my dear."I couldn't believe what I was watching before me. It felt ridiculous. Then Penelope whispered softly, but I sti
Katherine's POV "Knowing this happened because of you."The words hit hard, as I was not expecting such from her. I know she's mean, but to this extent, rubbing everything on my face so I won't survive the guilt? Penelope noticed immediately that her words worked, so she smiled. Because that was exactly what she wanted, to break me into pieces. What a cruel woman."He saved you from getting killed"She sighed dramatically, adding more exaggeration to it. "Poor Dave."Anger slowly rose inside me as I listened to her speak. "Leave here right now."Her eyes widened, like she wasn't expecting me to stand up for myself against her abuse. "Excuse me?""You heard me right"She laughed softly, pushing me beyond my limit. "I was only stating facts, which you are very much aware of."I stood up again, ready to push her out before end make me run mad."Leave here."The room suddenly became tense, and of course, Penelope's smile vanished.That was the beginning of the interesting part of ou
Katherine's POV Penelope's Return Game"And when you wake up..."My voice broke. "...you can yell at me for getting involved."Still, he said nothing and I smiled sadly. I couldn't think straight, as everything about me was crowded with the thought of him not making it at last. Unable to concentrate, I lowered my head beside his hand as I was already exhausted. Maybe just a few minutes because I found myself taking a nap, but I was startled and I woke up the next second. I glanced up slowly, looked down with my eyes wide open. Dave's fingers had moved, but it was just once, and brely noticeable, but somehow, I saw it. I know what my eyes saw. My heart exploded non stop inside my chest."Dave?"But there was no answer. I sat upright immediately."Dave!"Was I imagining things? Was I hallucinating from lack of sleep? Then suddenly, like a miracle, his fingers twitched again. And this time...I wasn't the only one who saw it. Because the heart monitor beside him suddenly started beepin
Katherine's POV "Know what exactly?"She looked toward Dave, then back at me."Katherine."Her smile widened, and I couldn't help but wonder if they were genuine. "That man is hopelessly gone for you."My heart skipped violently, as that was the least thing I was expecting to hear from her. "What?"Evelyn laughed out loud. "Oh my God."I stared at her, and she stared back at me. Then suddenly laughed harde again."What is it?"I repeated, hoping to get a better response "You really don't see it.""See what exactly?""The way he looks at you."My face heated instantly she mentioned that."Evelyn.""No seriously."She grinned, and I wondered how she was able to pull up that comic side of her in this situation, acting all calm at the same time, when I was almost gobd with panic attack. "The man worships the ground you walk on.""That's ridiculous, and you can't be joking with such.""It isn't."I looked away, because hearing those words felt dangerous, very dangerous to me. My marri

Almost Killed Katherine's POV "Katherine."I forced a polite smile, trying to act pleased seeing them. "Diana."She looked me over slowly, then laughed. The kind that is very irritating, and annoying at the same time. "I heard you got lucky."My smile disappeared before I knew it. There's no ne
