Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Misunderstanding or not Kate was proud of Alvin for his tactics thus went to his office to congratulate him just like he did.

Although she didn't bring a bottle of wine and a bouquet along. She had the best ideas.

Cynthia been Cynthia obstructed her way.

" And where do you think you're going? Kate stopped on her track watching as Cynthia approached her with a stern face.

The feeling was mutual not that she stole Alvin from her. He was hers to have.

What's her problem?

" Still begging for his love I guess. Tell me something Cynthia the year you came to my matrimonial home, shared the same bed with my ex-husband. How did you feel when you found out he was using you to stimulate me? How can you live like that? She asked as her mind wandered to Alvin's confession of never sleeping with other women.

" The same way you felt when you watch us make out. Truth be told. I felt nothing but love and want. It's my right after all she tells her staring at her outfit which hug her like a second skin and sneered at how inferior she was compared to her body shape and curves.

" He's all yours. Now if you'll excuse me. I have other things to do"

' haven't you done enough? Are you seriously trying to seduce him again with those fake boobs and asses?

" You'll do well to hold your tongue or I'll do it for you. I never seduced him. Your so-called boyfriend saw something he wanted and went for it. He did everything to have it and he did but for a short while now he's all yours. He's all yours Cynthia. You can have him" she said inches close to smacking her bitchy face.

" It's good you know you were something he wanted. A distraction. You don't know how much I hate you for what you did to me. My life is a mess because of you. Alvin and I would have been happily married had you not seduced him with your Jamaican ass. I'm glad you're suffering Kate. I'm glad you lost something you wanted. Now you know how I felt. Are you going to repeat history? Scheme your way through in seduction. Look at you, you're dressed like a slut that you are something about Simon's death angered her as she slapped her bitchy face.

She didn't give her time to comprehend what just transpired then gave her another one.

" Don't ever talk about my son. You're not worth it" Cynthia gritted her teeth then returned the slap.

' I can talk about that bastard of a child if I want after all he's dead. What can you do? David had his hands full already. Who is going to help you? She asked sarcastically as Kate grims then punched her.

' I don't need his help to deal with you bitch. I have had enough of your ridiculous accusations. Don't talk about my son" she said with punches that had Cynthia lying on the floor of the hallway.

Prestigious daughter aside, Cynthia was one to cower away from a fistfight.

Anger or not Kate knew when to stop thus stepped away from her.

" Stay out of my way or I'll fix you," she tells her using her fingers to brush her hair backward then fix her clothes.

" Bitch" Cynthia cussed wiping the blood on her lips.

Yep. She took a few hits.

" What a scaredy-cat. All bark and no bite. What a shame. I almost feel sorry for Alvin. Almost" she emphasized more then walked away.

" He's over you" she yelled after her. Kate couldn't care less.

Reconciling with Alvin wasn't her goal and it never will be. She'll never forget his cruelty no matter what.

It was inscribed into her brains.

So she pushed the door to his office opened and met him by the glass window with his hands folded below his biceps looking at the bustling city.

" Congratulations Alvin Reagan" he swerved around surprised to see her.

" What for?

' you know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not here to beat around the bush perhaps we should celebrate" she said trailing to his wine cellar.

Old habit die hard as she found his favorite brand and poured some.

' for you" Alvin took the glass cup with an unwavering gaze trying to decipher what she was up to.

It was nothing good.

" Now that David is out of town. I suppose we can talk" she said taking a seat on the couch while Alvin took his suit jacket off then joined her.

He was just as big, muscly, and hot like she remembered thus sneered scooting from him.

" I'm listening," he tells her taking a sip then scoot closer to her.

" Firstly, I want you to sign some documents that are up to you. I'll like to use your brewery as a lease' he furrowed his brows picking a pen with the other hand.

" And if I don't?

" No consequences. Consider it a friendly request" she jerked a little as she noticed something warm on her thighs and met his knowing eyes.

When did he drop the pen?

" I rather go if you're horny. I'll let Cynthia take care of it for you" he twitched his mouth with his hands lingering on her thighs then moved it to her belly.

" Nothing goes for free but I might lend it to you if you can convince me" she tsked her tongue removing his hands from her body and glared at him.

" Keep your hands to yourself"

" Fine. That's not possible' he started.

" Let's just celebrate David's dilemma. You smart ass" he scoffed staring at her grey eyes seemed lost in them.

" I couldn't have done it without you. I did it for you, Kate. For you", she smiled unsure of how to react thus meeting his adoring eyes.

He adores her.

" Cheers to more mischief" he hummed cupping her cheeks then leaned closer to her while she smiled wryly looking away from him then stood up.

" I really want that divorce, Alvin. I don't see you the same way anymore. Fine it wasn't your fault but you hurt me Alvin and it's deep. Maybe things would have been different if Simon was alive but he isn't. I want to live a normal life. A life where I don't have to fight other women over a man. I doubt if I can ever trust any man. I'm sorry for what David did to you perhaps it was fate. I'm not going to make that mistake again" he approached her standing in front of her.

" I just want a last chance. With David out of the way, you can take your time to think about it. I don't mind being your boyfriend if the divorce is a must. I just want to be with you. I want to be able to hold my wife, kiss her, have fun with her. I miss you, Kate. I miss you so badly" he tells her peppering kisses on her shoulder while she froze.

He pulled her closer as his lips moved to her clavicles then he raised his head to meet her searing eyes then Kissee her slowly as she refused to grant him entrance.

" We can make this work. Say yes Kate" he coaxed between her lips as she stepped back a little subconsciously which he imitated with lingering hands.

" I don't want to have a history with you again. Your deceitful kisses don't work on me anymore. Are you signing the papers or not? He huffed as she flinched deciding to look at what his hands were doing underneath her dress and glared at him.

He smirked giving her a piece of his mind.

" I will if you promise to stop. Perhaps I might show you Simon's grave too" he whispered cupping her boobs as a gasp left her mouth which embarrassed her.

It motivated him to do more as he pinched and cupped her boobs seductively staring at her faltering eyes then she pushed him away.

" You don't want to play this game believe me unless you'll lose. You don't have to sign it if you don't want to. There's no reasoning with you. Out of my way. I have other ways of getting what I want" he put the fingers that cupped her boobs on his lips.

" It's not a game. Believe me" he murmured drawing her to himself which had her bumping into his chest.. his hands were on her waist.

"It's not happening believe me. I....." He smashed his lips on hers seizing the opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth.

With her hands on his chest, she tried pushing him back trying to break from the kiss which he didn't allow as held her in a spot. She had no choice but to give in to him.

Carefully, he moved her to his desk with lips attached to hers though she wasn't moving hers and sat her down.

" Alvin..." She called but he just kissed her more earning a gasp from her while she break the kiss stepping down from the desk.

" I have told you occasionally. I'm not letting you have your way with me trust me I'm damn serious. I'm sorry" she tells him fixing her dress while he sighed.

" Let me help you with it" he offered to fix her dress heaving. He swerved her around helping with her hair staring at her flushed face.

She might be good at hiding her feelings, he knew she wanted him. There's a woman who loves him behind her coldness. He just has to find it

After sorting her dress out, he picked a pen and signed the papers.

He trusted her.

" Thank you" she stated meeting his eyes then bit her smudged lips.

"I'll see you when I return it"

" Kate?! He called as she halts waiting for him to say something.

" Will you forgive me for the choices I have made?

' I don't know if I can. Maybe as time goes by" she tells him grabbing her bag on the couch.

" How is Louis?

" He's fine"

" That's good. What about the surgery?

" It's just a tumor Alvin. He's going through therapy for it" he hummed standing by her side which she didn't expect.

" Please think about us. Please, Kate. " He stated with his calloused hands wrapped around hers possessively.

" If that's what you want then I will" his telephone rang which had him grumbling letting go of her hands.

" Yes? He said rudely into the phone.

" Your mother and a little boy are here to see you" his eyes widened but she was gone when he turned around.

" Take them to the waiting room. Now" he snapped. The receiver quickly ended the call to carry out his order.

Scared of what's to come, he hurried out of the office.

Flushed and embarrassed, Kate's head was down. So she didn't see Quinn and Bianca staring at her.

Bianca's lingering eyes were on her until she entered an elevator.
