Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Chapter 58 - Its Not Love

The whole night, Katherine could sleep properly because of the intimate incident with Adrian. Even though she was trying hard to control her feelings towards him. Her heart and her body were betraying her mind. She wanted to end everything between them for his better future.

On the other hand, Adrian was happy as Katherine was so close to him after a long time. He slept peacefully, reminiscing about their moments.

…..

The next day, she reached her company but Adrian was not there in his cabin. He overslept and started to work late at his Villa.

…..

She started her work at her desk and was checking her emails.

" What is going on between you and our boss?" David asked her.

She raised her head and looked at David.

Katherine was very reluctant to answer David's question. She disliked the idea that David had found out something from their Boss, Adrian. But she didn't want to give a reason for him to have suspicions.

She had a lot of things in her mind. She had a lot in her heart. She didn't want to think or talk about Adrain's issues.

Katherine leaned back on her chair, her eyes closed, her head on her palm. She was trying to think of something that could help her solve her problems.

Why was her life always so complicated?

Why was she always dealing with these issues?

Even though she has handled a lot of crises in her life, she still couldn't help herself from feeling frustrated.

She opened her eyes and gazed over her palm, David's hand on her desk was still there and he was watching her intently. She didn't even notice him until he said her name.

"Katherine."

She turned her head and scrutinized his face. He was wearing his usual outfit, a grey shirt, jeans, and boots.

"What?" She asked.

David sighed and dropped his hand on the table.

"You haven't told me anything about what is going on with Adrian."

Katherine was startled but she didn't want to admit that.

" Is he harassing you? " He asked her, looking into her eyes.

" See...David. It's not like you are thinking. He is a perfect gentleman. Better you don't meddle in my life. If I have a problem, I can handle it. Better don't conclude anything " she replied.

David didn't know whether to believe her. But he knew that she was hiding something from him. She was not telling him anything about Adrian at all.

Katherine had been quiet for a long time when David's voice broke the silence.

"Katherine. I think you like him."She gasped and looked at him, "What? Why are you saying such things? "

" I think…." He said.

" No. I am working with him as his Assistant. I have only professional relations with him" she replied.

David's face instantly glowed by her reply and said, " your reply made me very happy. I thought you were in love with Adrian ''. He said.

" Kathie, I want to talk with you. And cannot wait anymore " he said.

She looked at him suspiciously.

" I love you...Kathie. You don't know how much I love you, " he said.

Just at the same time, Jessica walked towards David and said, " finally you confessed your love to her?" 

" Yeah. " David said, looking at Kathie. 

" Sorry, David. I never felt for you like that. Don't waste your time on me" Kathie said.

David's face became pale with her answer. She noticed his dull face.

" Why don't you give him a chance? Don't you know him? Love you for three years?" Jessica asked Katherine.

" I don't have such feelings for him and I don't want him to waste his time" Katherine replied, looking at David.

" I will make you fall in love with me. And I never allow anyone to come near to you" he said.

All the happiness was drained out when Adrian heard the conversation. He went to his cabin without their notice. He sat in the chair leaning back and closed his eyes. Adrian was thinking a lot lately. Seeing his behavior towards Katherine, he fears whether Katherine will fall in love with him. He didn't want her to get into a relationship with him. He knew it would be a terrible story for them. He planned to end their relationship. But before he goes to do that, he needs to make some things clear to Kathie first.

He needs to know what is in her heart. He wanted to know what her feelings were for him. At the same time, she entered his cabin with a cup of coffee.

"You are late," Adrian said and stood up.

Katherine looked at him. She knew he was angry.

" I'm so sorry." She said and placed the coffee on his table.

" May I know the reason that you are unaware of your boss' presence! Is it because of David ?" He asked her.

She gulped her throat in fear. She knew Adrian was not going to let her off. She pressed her lips together.

"Come on. Tell me the truth " Adrian said.

She stood silently lowering her head.

"Katherine, it's been a very long time since I have known you. Please tell me why you left me. Why are you playing with my feelings? " he asked her.

" I am not playing with your feelings. I told you clearly that I don't love you. Everything is over in the past. " she said.

" Then tell me why your body reacted to my touch yesterday? Why? " he asked, pulling her closer to him.

" It's…. just…. attraction between two bodies, there is no feeling in it," she lied.

He left her arms and moved away from her. He stared at her face, controlling his anger.

Then she continued, " Whatever happened in the past between us is not love, just infatuation. Better if you…." 

Before she completed the sentence, she slapped hard on her cheeks. 

" I curse the day when I met you. I curse the day, I fell in love with you, I curse the days which I spent with you," he yelled at her.

" It's my mistake to love a person like you who has no loyalty, " he said.
