Chapter 1

• Song- Stronger (Sara Evans)
• ..............
• Kathleen's pov.
• "The cab just dropped me off, I'm climbing up to his apartment.."
• "I'm happy you've reached, make sure you eat and take your pills, I put some in your handbag,hm." I sighed,
• "You're such a sweetheart, Elle. Okay, I got to go…" I ended the call and knocked lightly on the door.
• His door was open, how could he make such a mistake, huh. I grabbed the door knob and pushed my bag in.
• I was met with a bra hanging on the cushion, a woman's bag on the couch, and a man's tie at the edge of his stairs.
• Okay, what's going on?. He didn't tell me his sister came back from London, or maybe she didn't tell him she was coming. As I walked up the stairs, I could hear a loud moaning from a room. I followed the trail of littered clothes on the stairs to Noah's room.
• I slowly opened the room and what hit me next made my mouth hang. Noah was banging a lady against the headboard in his bedroom, not just a lady but his fucking sister. I was still trying to get out of my shocked state when he turned,
• "Jesus, Kat." He shouted and quickly grabbed a pillow to cover his nudity.
• Tears were rolling off my eyes, oh I didn't wanna cry in front of them. I sniffed and glared at both of them.
• "I..can explain.." I waved my hand in the air to keep him shut. "There's nothing to explain.." I looked at his sister and then to him, "Enjoy yourself.."
• Running down the stairs and carrying my luggages out of the house, I could hear him yelling my name from behind. Soon enough, a cab man stopped in front of me, I pushed my luggages in and climbed in immediately. I turned to see him running out with a boxer on.
• "Get me out of here!." I yelled at the cab man who quickly drove off.
• ...a few minutes later…
• "Ma'am,ahm...you didn't tell me where to drop you off." The cab man was peeking at me from the middle mirror.
• "Bengaluru Airport.."

• Once on the plane, I couldn't seem to calm myself though as much as I tried. A sixteenth hour flight to Seattle was the last thing I wanted to be doing on a bad day like this. I needed somewhere to cool my head or might get a drink to relieve me of the nightmare.
• Who would believe I had taken a surprise visit to see my boyfriend in India? That I gave up my time and energy to travel such a long distance to see my nightmare?.
• Having met with a more surprising package than I could ever imagine. He told me he was his sister, had they been fucking all along?. They should both go to hell. All of them.
• What do I tell Elle? That the very one person I boasted of and given accolades of having a longer relationship with was cheating behind my back. I can't even let myself tell her that he cheated, I can't. She would end up ranting about how right she had been.
• As I sat gazing endlessly through the window, waiting for the plane to take off, a male deep monotone voice tucked me out of thoughts. I turned away to see a crystal blue piercing cold eyes looking at me.
• "Any problem?" I asked the young man who had interrupted me.
• "Miss. Could you please do me a favor by letting me sit beside the window?"
• I looked at him strangely, as polite as he was, I couldn't bring myself to sit elsewhere.
• "No."
• I replied flatly and turned back to the window.
• "Please?" He begged and I snapped my head at him to bug off, but his beautiful sapphire eyes were really pleading.
• ~
• I couldn't stop thinking about him, how could he promise to marry me and end up breaking my heart. I've decided not to tell Elle about him, yes I can't.
• I hit my head on the seat and closed my eyes.
• Shortly I heard my neighbor moaning, i found it weird but didn't open my eyes but the noise from him intensed.
• I slowly pecked at him, his eyes twitched and he was frowning, he was moaning out in pain.
• Fear clouded his face and he was shaking visibly. I ignored him and shut back my eyes. But the way he was shaking right now, made me want to hold him. I watched him for a moment, then slowly locked my hands in his. His hand was soft and warm, it seemed to have worked as I could see his face was gradually coming back to normal.
• He tensed up again but relaxed back on his seat, few passengers were at this time stealing glances at us but I tried to put up a smile, he snuggled his head up to my shoulder and finally slept off.
• I seem to put him at ease.
• I tried to stay awake but couldn't. I was suddenly feeling the urge to pee. I sat up, looked at the sleeping man over my shoulder and lightly pushed his head back on the seat, stood up and started walking through the aisle.
• The flight attendant noticed my movement and stood up. "Any problem? miss." She asked, calmly.
• "Oh yes. I'm looking for the toilet."
• She smiled and led me into the small toilet. She drew back the blue curtain over while I pulled down my pants and quickly released my urine.
• I cleaned up and flushed the toilet, just as i was zipping my jeans up, I felt hands wrap around my waist, touching the bare skin of my stomach, where my shirt had ridden up, feeling it could be a stalker, I jumped up, but the hands could only tightened around me.
• "A little while please.." I heard a low voice whisper into my ear. I could feel his warm breath through my ear. I let my eyes close as I basked in the feeling of his arms around me.
• "You let me all alone.." He mumbled. Hearing this from him, I snapped my head to look next to me, feeling my eyes widen as I looked at the man holding me.
