KATHERINE The incident at her father's office had taken place hours ago, but as Katherine slowly brushed her hair in front of her dressing table, her chest bubbled with rage. Needless to say, she had been extremely excited and grateful when her father brought up the talk about her and Damien getting married. To be honest, it had been at the back of her mind the whole time, and at one point she wondered if Damien even thought about getting married and settling down with her at all. She had been dropping subtle hints to him for months, and once she even told him about her father's wishes of her getting married quickly but if she could recall vividly he gave no positive reaction to any of her talks. Even when she mentioned matter of factly that her father would hand over his company to whomever she got married to, it had not moved him at all and back then she had wondered if the hints were way too subtle and flat, or if he just chose to ignore them but now… She was convinced that there was more to his neutral behavior that meets the eyes. They had been together for quite some time and never for once did he hint at marriage, even though she so much wanted that. Which was why she had been so happy to hear her father say they were discussing marriage and a wedding, and her hopes had soared to the high heavens. It was about time as well, and the fact that her father was present made her even more comfortable. Now he had to make his intentions clear, but to Katherine's greatest surprise Damien had brushed her and her father off. She had wanted to say more but she knew her father would not appreciate her causing a scene in his office, or even anywhere near his company… So she held her peace, boiling inside as she listened to them discuss business at length. When they finally concluded, Damien greeted her father and then he was off, without as much as a glance at her! Ridden with shock, Katherine watched his retreating figure, but as if a switch had clicked inside her she ran after him. After she had screamed her head off at him, asking why he was being so brutish to her, he was still so unapologetic, looking like he didn't care, and it hurt so much. He just didn't care about anything at all. The fact that he had hurtfully brushed off the marriage talk, and literally acted like she didn't exist was nothing to him and as she watched him drive away from the company, she had stood, anger building up within her. What was happening to him? What was happening to them? She couldn't understand Damien again at all, and he was acting so weird lately! Was he getting tired of her already? Things had been just fine, so what the hell was going on? She paused in the middle of brushing her hair, thinking and thinking until finally it all started to piece itself together, “That fucking bitch!” She muttered under her breath. There was no other suitable explanation to Damien’s surly behavior, than the fact that it was became of that bitch! It was her! It was all because of her. Since that bloody waitress had somehow materialized into their lives, Damien had begun to act so different towards her. Days following that event, he started to show her signs by not giving her any attention, and also snapping back at her so easily whenever they argued. Now that she noticed, she also noted that he stopped complimenting her like he used to! It was like… he was only tolerating her, just managing her presence and it was all because of this Madison girl. Katherine clutched her hairbrush as she wondered if her greatest fears were coming true at all, and if the lady was truly the cause of this all. Damien had stopped showing interest in her, and this was because he was obviously still in love with his ex, who had returned after so many years stirring up feelings inside him. For the umpteenth time again since this whole thing started, Katherine wondered what he saw in that bitch. She was lame and of lower class, she wasn't even fit to be in their line of sight or their status at all, yet all of this was happening. That bitch! That Madison was single-handedly ruining her relationship with Damien. "FUCK!” She yelled, her clenched fist connecting with her bedside mirror, which instantly shattered into tiny little pieces. Seeing the damage she had caused, Katherine felt shock at first but then glancing up at her uneven reflection on the glass to her bruised knuckles which had begun to bleed, her look turned evil. She took short fast breaths, her hands shaking as she tried to calm herself, and counting from one to ten in her head until she finally calmed down she finally relaxed a bit. Anger still making her shake, she stood to her feet making her way to the bed to pick up her phone. She needed to check up on things, and know if her plans were going like she ordered. With everything that happened with Damien today, she needed the investigation to be faster and she needed the answers quickly. Suddenly she remembered that she wasn't supposed to use her normal cell phone, and popping open her bottom drawer she took out the small burner phone she had purchased for this sole purpose, and the dialed the only number saved on it. After it had rung twice, someone finally picked the call and slowly bringing the burner phone to her ear she said, "Give me some news."
