Chapter 41: Chapter 41

Christmas eve was nigh while Alvin glanced through his companies ledgers, journals, and portfolios satisfied with the outcomes. The profits and bonuses were massive. He picked his phone ordering his managers to release bonuses to his employees.

Being in a good mood he decided to keep his grudge against Kate at bay. He can't be angry all the time then his phone rang. He grumbled when he saw the number but picked it anyway.

The news he found out crushed his mood. To be exact, he was serving with anger then he received another call then another then another from different courthouses in the country.

It was enough for him to take action and that's exactly what he did. Just a phone call to reverse the whole thing then proceeded downstairs calling for Colton who ran to him.

He said the unexpected words" bring the bitch from the slumps to me" Colton curt nod and strolled downstairs to get her while Miranda smiled. Every day in Alvin's house is like a drama series of the apocalypse. One problem after another and it's all because of Kate.

She was snapped out of her thoughts with his baritone voice" get her things ready" he stated which she didn't understand

' who? I'm sorry Sir I didn't get you" she stuttered as he yelled at her ' I said pack her bags. Are you deaf? That was enough for Miranda to sprint to Kate's room upstairs to pack her things. A part of her thought he was chasing her out.

Colton met Kate surfing, he rudely spoke' Mr. Reagan seeks your presence. What have you done again whore? The bitterness in his tone had Kate creasing her brows out of curiosity but went with him nevertheless.

She was wearing a sweatshirt and a short which had Colton chuckling. He was a replica of Alvin sometimes she thinks they're brothers.

She arrived at the living room and saw lots of luggage and bags. It took seconds before she realized they were hers. She met Alvin's furious eyes and shrank.

She recalled the last time he was there. The memory was vividly imprinted in her mind. So she decided to wait for him to speak.

" You're moving out of this house" he paused to see her expression, to his surprise she wasn't happy just curious. He cleared his throat and continued.

" my butler in Venice will be expecting you within the next twelve hours. Colton, drop her at the airport she's running late" he spoke coldly leaving no room for argument.

Kate's legs wavered, eyes widened like she didn't hear him clearly. Venice? His butler? She was moving out? None of his words made sense to her which led to her remarks.

' what? Venice? Alvin, I'm not going anywhere. What's this about? Christmas is two days away. Tell me you're joking' she spoke though it was obvious he wasn't.

She panicked when he raised his hands to hit her but stopped clenching them. He gritted his teeth and stood in front of her holding her chin tightly.

" You wanted to divorce me. You're seeing that bastard Dante Lorenzo. You whore. You look surprised. Do you think I wouldn't know? Do you know how insanely stupid your idea was? She employed a lawyer to divorce me" he cackled exercising more force to his grip earning a whimper from her.

Kate was lost. She has been wondering what kept Dante that long. She didn't see this coming. Her chest moved up and down due to fear.

" Don't you have something to say, Kate Patterson? Say something bitch" he slammed grabbing her jaw. She didn't struggle.

" You're going away for good this time it's going to take a miracle for you to see me again. You're going to spend your youth in isolation. I promise" he vowed which had her begging

" Please Alvin, I am tired of all this. I want to go home to my mother. I'm begging you, I'm losing my sanity. I'm going crazy. Let me go. I don't want this anymore. I'll find a way to repay you. I just want to be normal again. Be whole again" she pleaded tearing up at her vulnerability. She was sure his grip will earn her some blister.

" In your dreams. You'll pay for making a fool out of me. You'll pay with a lifetime of loneliness I assure you and as for that lawyer, I'm going to make him wish he never met you. Tell me something Kate, has he fucked you? Did he touch you? He said with disgust demonstrating with his hands on her chest.

" No. of Ofcourse not. I... What did I ever do to you? All I did was love you, give myself to you, trusted you. Alvin if we're collecting then you owe me everything. I'm a mess because of you. I rather go back to my former life, searching for a donor for my mom than have you punish me for something I didn't do. All my life I've been honest with you but you treat me like dirt like someone you bought from fair trade. Haven't you done enough? Should I die to make it up to you? What do you want from me?' she demanded which alarmed the rest maids as they entered the living room quietly wondering what happened again between the drama couples.

Lisa furrowed her brow noticing the way Alvin was holding her jaw. She stepped in to help her but he glared at her facing a crying Kate with so much anguish in his eyes. Lisa could tell whatever Kate said to him must have really hurt him.

Kate was blinded by her tears that she failed to notice the tears threatening to escape his eyes which had him letting her go with his back turned to her.

" You're going to Venice period. You and I have a lifetime to hate each other. If I find out you slept with that Italian geek, I'm going to break you beyond imagination. Take her away. Miranda, you're going with her" he stated muffling his whimper.

' no. Alvin, listen to me. It wasn't Dante's fault. I told him to. You can't do this to me. You said you loved me. ...' she whimpered pointing herself taking a step towards him but Colt stopped her' you said you loved me. You made a promise to me. You told me I wouldn't find a reason to leave you. Alvin, you've ruined me. You ruined my dreams, my confidence. Why? Because I filed for divorce? Can't I annul our marriage? It's not working. You're not happy being with me just like I'm not. Why don't you let me go? I wanna know he closed his eyes but said nothing. She wasn't going to find out why he can't let go. She was stuck with him forever.

' Colt, take her away' his resentment had her broken. She just stood there watching as Lisa pleaded with him. She didn't hear what she said but it seems to stop him from climbing the stairs further. There was tension in his shoulders which had her staring at Lisa trying to make out what she said.

' she's pregnant. Are you exiling your child too? How will your children see you? Do you want to be referred to as a monster? Chose your next steps carefully' she finished.
