World shattering news

Katrina rushed shakily into the funeral home, looking into the rooms, finally she arrived at room one and her eyes caught the picture displayed up. Her shoulders fell as she walked slowly into the large room, her eyes blurred for a second as her tears fell heavily. She got closer, her hand slowly covered her lips to silenced her cry, falling to the floor in heaviness of heart. One of the men standing nearby walked up to her. “You’re his family, you need to go dress up to receive visitors of your father” he said. Katrina stared up at him, she did not recognize any one of them in the room. But they were all staring at her, true, she was Morris Holloway’s daughter but does she have the right to be the chief mourner? Katrina wondered as she got up slowly. She arrived at the locker and let out the sound she had kept a moment ago, pouring out all her pain. She had received the phone call that her mother was involved in a ghastly accident, along with her stepfather, Morris Hollowa

You won't get a dime

Thunder growled across the sky, Lily looked up, her throat tightening as she stood in front of the Holloway’s mansion. The gigantic house that her mother had pleaded with her to move into but she had refused.She was happy that her Mum found her happiness but she couldn’t bear the rumors and whacking tongues of others.Lily walked into the building, luckily, the house manager buzzed her in and she approached the living room.The house seemed in a bit of disarray, Jennifer Holloway was barking orders to the housekeepers and few things are being moved.It seemed as soon as Morris died, she had moved back into the mansion and taken over.When Jennifer sighted Lily , her already frowned face, squeezed harder. She left the housekeeper she was about to scold and walked to her.“How dare you walk in here? How on earth did you get in?” Jennifer bellowed.Lily ’s breathe seized for a moment, she clenched her hands and slowly went down on her knees.Her mother’s life was hanging on the line. Sh

An unexpected clause

She rushed forward quickly. “What is she doing here?” she screamed, turning back in fury to Lawyer Callan.“Her presence is vital, for this will to be read” Callan answered.Sean arched a brow, having a bad feeling about this. But he sat down patiently, his eyes moved away from Lily .“She’s not even a family, why on earth would her presence be required?” Jennifer continued not giving up.Lily slowly approached the seat beside Lawyer Callan, afraid that Jennifer might claw out her eyes.She had received the call from Callan earlier at the hospital, informing her that he was the one who took care of her mother’s surgery.He promised to take care of every treatment as long as she comes to the Holloway mansion.But hearing about the will, she was a bit confused and wondered why exactly she was needed.“Mr. Holloway ordered that his will be read immediately after his death. And here is what he wanted...” There was a long intense silence after Lawyer Callan spoke. Everyone focused their g

What's not yours

After accepting the inheritance, Lily ’s mother was taken immediately to the VIP room for treatment.She was asked to move into the Holloway mansion now that she was the legal owner. Since she was already homeless, Lily moved in immediately.The housekeepers all came out to welcome her as the new owner, their heads bowed respectfully.“Welcome, Miss” they all chorused.She was startled for a moment, halting and staring at them. She blinked feeling quite astound. “Thank you” she stuttered a little.They raised their heads, and one of them walked towards her. She seemed to be in her thirties.She looked beautiful and bold with the bob haircut. “I am the house manager, Margot” she introduced and Lily nodded.“If you need anything or have any questions, please let me know” Margot added.Lily nodded again and she tried to move but Margot signalled to one of the ladies and she rushed to take her bag away from her.“She will carry it to your room” she said and before Lily could protest, the

You forgot?

As Jace stormed out of the club, Ray rushed after him, quickly getting into the car to avoid being left behind. Jace ignite the car the moment he got in and drove a bit roughly out into the road. Leaving Ray staring for a moment. “Is there some reason why you hate her? She’s innocent. It’s her mother’s fault, not hers” Ray advised. Jace turned a sharp murderous glare at him. “She’s just as guilty as her mother. They both ruined my life” he spat in fury. He raised the car speed and Ray grabbed on for support, afraid he might fly off the closed window. But he did not stop. “She’s just eighteen. I’m sure her life was ruined too. You’ve got to stop hating, not while you still like her” he blurt out the truth and Jace brought the car to a sudden halt, sending them both jerking up a bit. Ray let out a grunt as he pulled forward and managed to get pulled back by the seatbelt. He turned to Jace whose face suddenly turned red. He flashed a dumbstruck countenance at Ray. “How on ea

Jace froze for a moment there, unable to move, unable to look away from her ocean blue eyes which was looking cute despite the anxiety in her gaze. It made him remember that night, two years ago at the club house. She was looking just as innocent and anxious as now. He remembered how she flinched whenever he got closer and how hypnotizing her smile was, when she slowly let it out nervously. The image had been stuck in his head all these while. He was still lost in his memories when Katrina suddenly forced her body up in a rush. Jace slowly got out of his trance and also got up, his once hard face was a bit softened up as his heart seemed melted. “Are you stalking me?” She blurted suddenly, her voice a little shaky. A hard frown took over Jace’s expression quickly, he turned to her with a disbelief chuckle. “Stalk you? Why would I do that?” he asked. Katrina clenched her fists in a defensive way. “If not, what are you doing here?” she questioned, her voice raised. Jace forced

You're too close

Yasmin walked into the enormous kitchen and saw few of the maids, preparing some foods.“Hey, I need you to prepare me something to eat” she ordered as she got closer.Margot who was in the room, turned to her, surprised at her rudeness and the nerve to order anyone of them around.“I’m sorry but If you’re hungry, you can make yourself food” she said and turned back to what she was doing.A scowl invades Yasmin’s face instantly and she charged forward, pulling her back. “How dare you talk to me like that? You’re nothing but a maid” she spitted.Margot was momentarily shocked but she quickly recovered. “Maid? No one is a maid in the Holloway mansion. That’s one of Mr. Holloway rules” she replied.Yasmin scoffed in mockery, crossing her arms against her chest. “Well, he’s dead, isn’t he? The ownership of this mansion had been changed and I am in charge” she told them rather shamelessly.“You? Are you delusional?” one of the housekeepers who could not contain her anger let out.Yasmin sh

Drenched in wine

At the funeral of Morris Holloway, reporters outnumbered the family as they all want to get the candy and find out who is going to be the next owner of Holloway empire.Jennifer Holloway stood tall in front with Jace behind her, her wail could be heard but her eyes was dry.Jace, on the other hand, had a dark gloomy countenance that seemed to be for driving reporters away from himself.All Holloway executives and important associates stood behind, while right behind them, Katrina hid herself, afraid to attract the slightest attention. She tried not to get pushed away by the reporters who were trying to get good pictures.When the rites was done, the party that was planned by Jennifer followed after. It was more like a calculated gathering. The real purpose was to secure loyalty of the executives and shareholders.Jennifer worked the room carefully, trying to win their support for her son. But at the same time, she had other plans.Katrina who had tried to escape the party was stopp

I will protect you

The morning sun tells Katrina that it was time to wake up but she lay down still on her bed, the event of last night still vivid in her head.After crying like a weak fool in front of Jace Holloway, he had dragged her into his car and drove her back to the mansion.He opened the door for her like a gentleman and while she wanted to get down, she nearly fell and he grasped her, luckily.His arms guarded her shoulders, and at that time, she looked into his eyes. It wasn’t filled with hatred but some sort of gentleness.All through the night, she had been unable to shake the look off her head or stop herself from reading much into it.It could be that he saw her as helpless and fragile last night and felt pity for her. He had even promised to make her life miserable, there was no way he would be suddenly niceKatrina shook her head as the thoughts invade her head again, shutting her eyes snappy, and taking a long heave.A knock came on her door and she hesitated before going to answer

Tucked the hair back

Jace wrapped his arms around her with a heated breathe, embracing her close. His eyes flickered with worry as he saw her panicked.He gazed down and saw that her eyes were tightly shut, her tiny body trembling in his arms, like a drenched swan.“Are you alright?” he whispered, stroking her hair carefully.At the sound of his voice, Katrina open her eyes slowly, she stared up, her eyes glossy and her lashes wet from the tears about to fall.Her lips parted but she could barely make a whisper. Jace could see the tremor in her breath, her blue eyes pleading to be rescue.“I will protect you” he whispered close, his hands tightened around her defensively.He turned a darkened face at the ones who were still taking pictures. “What company do you work? Are you even illegal?” he asked, his voice stern and threatening.They immediately withdraw, putting their phones down, looking quite nervous. They had just been hired to attack the girl.When Jace saw their reaction, he realized they were j
