Chapter 101 - Adrian Was Furious

"You want him to be happy with Emily? Really?"Maria questioned sarcastically.

" Yes. Emily is my well wisher and a good person. I always want to be loyal to her. She helped me in my past. " She replied.

" If what you are telling is true then why did Adrian want to break his engagement with Emily and want to marry you?" She asked Katherine.

"I don't know," she replied.

"You don't know? You are a good liar. " She said in a serious tone.

" Please believe me, I don't know about it. I don't want to disturb his life. " She explained.

Then Maria said," Everything has a price. Tell me what is the price of your fake love? " 

She smiled at her bitterly and said, " I have precious things in my life . I can live with it happily all my life." 

" Ohhh….really. If you are telling the truth then don't meet my son and disturb his life. Don't show your face to us again. '' She ordered Katherine.

" I won't meet him again. I am really sorry for the inconvenience with my presence" Katherine said and walked out of his Villa controlling her tears to let out from her eyes.

Maria wondered how simply Katherine left the Villa without demanding any money or without any argument. She watched her leaving figure blankly. She had a second thought in her mind about how she left the place. She sat on the chair in the living room. She was in a dilemma of whether she was right or wrong. She only thought about Emily and Adrian's engagement.

…..

Her chain of thoughts were interrupted, when she got a call from Mr. Green. 

" Mrs. Wilson...Do you see today's newspaper and online media!" He almost shouted.

Maria: Newspaper!!( In surprise)

Mr.Green: Yes. Your son was carrying his secretary to the party. Does he ever think of my daughter's feelings? I think that was the reason he wanted to postpone the wedding date. Now I doubt that your son is having an affair with his assistant.

Maria: Please listen to me once.

Mr. Green: I don't want to listen to anything. How dare he not even attend my calls?

Maria: He is sleeping now. Once he is awake, we can talk about it.

Mr. Green: ok. I will be waiting for your call. 

Remember if he tries to cheat my daughter, I will see his end for sure.

He ended the call whereas Maria sat on the chair placing her hands on her forehead. 

....

Katherine wiped away the tears as many people were staring at her giving weird looks. She took a taxi and sat inside. She silently looked outside thinking about Maria's words. 

" Madam… we reached your destined place" the driver said. 

She got out of the taxi and noticed the main door was ajar. The moment she entered the house, Katherine collapsed on the couch. She started crying. She was now feeling guilty for hurting Adrian's feelings. She was feeling responsible for Maria's words. She was feeling like a horrible person. She was even feeling like Maria's words were true.

She could not even imagine the pain Adrian was going through. She was feeling so guilty and also she was even afraid of facing him. She was scared of how he might react when he came to know that she left him when she was pregnant with his baby. She was scared of the consequences. She had no idea what would happen to her and Adrian. She had no idea what would happen to Sam, their son.

She was feeling like the world had ended. She was feeling like she was going to die. She was feeling like she was going to be the worst mother in the world who separated a father from her own child. She was feeling like she was going to lose everything. She was feeling like she had no hope. She was feeling like she had no future. She was feeling like she had no tomorrow.

" Kathie .." 

" What happened?" Why are you crying?" Martin asked her. He was panicked to see her in that condition.

She was looking so pale. He was scared of her condition.

" What happened last night? Did someone misbehave with you?" He questioned her.

Many bad thoughts running in Martin's mind. 

" No " She said.

" Then why are you crying ?" He asked her again.

" We have to leave this place now" she informed, wiping her tears. She doesn't want to disturb Adrian's life as his Mother said.

" What?" Martin exclaimed.

" We have to leave this place before Adrian finds us, especially Sam," she said, wiping her tears.

" Adrian!!! How did he meet you? When did he meet you?" Martin asked her.

" Please...we have no time to discuss. We have to leave now. " She said stubbornly.

"Where will we go?" Martin asked.

" I don't know. But we have to leave this place. I don't want to be the cause of any trouble for Adrian. I don't want him to hate me. I can't bear his hatred for me" she said.

" Kathie...Think once again. You have to face this situation. You should not run away from him. He needs to know about Sam" Martin suggested.

" We have to leave this place. I don't want to break his engagement because of me and Sam." She reasoned.

" I know we have to leave this place. But where will we go?" Martin asked her.

" I don't know. But we have to leave this place. " She repeated.

Martin was feeling helpless. He had no clue what to do. He wanted to help her but she was not ready to listen to him. He was scared of what might happen to her.

" Kathie." I have an idea." Martin said.

" What is it?" She asked.

" I know a place where we can stay for a while."

He said.

" Where is that place?"

" We can go to our friend's place. It is safe for us to stay" he said.

" He is a trusted person. And we will be fine there. This is our only option as we have no time" he said.

" Ok. Let's go" she said.

Kathie hurriedly packaged their clothes and other stuff. Then he made a call to his friend to ask for shelter for a few days.

" We need some place to stay for a few days. We 

will talk when you meet me" he said over the phone.

" Of course. I will be happy to help you. Just tell me when 

you want to come. I will sent the keys of the apartment for you through my driver" the person replied.

" Thank you. Give me that address for the apartment" he said.

" Mommy...where are we going?" Little Sam asked Katherine.

" We are going to our friend's house to stay for a few days," Martin answered as Katherine was silent. Katherine switched off her mobile so that Adrian cannot contact her.

....

Adrian opened his eyes and found his bed was empty beside him. His eyes searched for Katherine. Instantly he sat up on the bed and started calling her name. He searched for her in the bathroom and on the balcony.

He stormed out of his room with frustration and shouted her name like a mad man.

Maria came out of her room and placed her hand on his shoulder.

" Mom...where is Katherine?" He asked her.

" She left our house." 

" I think it's better if you too stop thinking of her" she suggested to Adrian.

" What do you mean? " He questioned her.

" Adrian ...stop behaving crazy" she advised.

" We love each other. And It's impossible for me to stop thinking of her. She is my life" he answered.

" You love her but she doesn't love you. She left you when you had no money. And she came back not for you. She loves your wealth and your status, " Maria said firmly.

" Mom...stop it . She is not like what you are imagining. "

" If she loved my wealth and status, she might have come back to me a long time ago. For two months, I was begging her to marry me. But she was running away from me. " Adrian explained.

" If she is not interested in you then leave her and marry Emily " Maria suggested.

" Emily and I don't love each other. Our engagement was fake. We engaged for the happiness of you and Mr. Green. We are just friends. Emily has no interest in marrying me. " He said the truth.

" So….you acted all these days? Huh? " Maria questioned her.

" I am so sorry. I want to see you happy as your health is not well. Try to understand, " he pleaded.

" Do you think Mr.Green stays calm after knowing the truth? " She asked him.

" Already he was mad about the articles in today's newspaper" she informed and threw the newspaper on Adrian's face.

" I don't bother about the news. I only care for my love for Kathie. " He said and dialed her home on his phone but her mobile was turned off.

He went mad when he found her mobile was switched off.. He threw all the things in the living room showing his anger on them.
