The Billionaire's Lost Love

20

Katherine laid down on her bed staring at the ceiling. She had spent the entire night tossing and turning. All she could think about was him. The scene from last night kept playing in her head again and again .

Was he telling the truth? Or was it his another sick game to get into her pants? She didn't know what to believe and what not to. A part of her wanted to believed every word he uttered.

She felt something for him and she couldn't deny it. But what was she feeling for him? Why did she feel the sparks whenever they kissed? Why does she feel complete whenever he was around?

She had no answer for any of these questions. And she didn't know why was she so stressed about it. It wasn't like he was the first guy who had declared his love for her.

Then why couldn't she make up her mind and just turn him down like she did with the rest. Why was her heart begging her to accept him? What was happening to her? Was she falling for him?

She was abruptly pulled out of her thoughts by her loud ringing phone. She quickly picked it up from the night stand and answered it without checking the ID.

" Katherine? " A high pitched voice asked for the other end of the line.

" Yes? "

" I guess you have spent all night thinking about him . " The woman replied.

" Excuse me? "

" He doesn't love you Katherine. A guy like him is not capable of commitment. "

" Who the hell are you? "

" I can prove that whatever he told you last night was a lie." The woman continued ignoring her former question .

" I don't know who you are or what you are talking about. "

" Don't play dumb Katherine. You know exactly what I'm talking about."

" What do you want? "

" I want you to meet me at The Emily's sharp at 11."

" What if I don't come? "

" I know you will. Anyways see you at 11" And with that the woman hung up.

Katherine walked into the coffee shop and scanned the crowd trying to find the woman who had called her this morning.

She looked around and something or someone caught her attention. And she walked straight to the corner most table. The woman looked up at her and smirked.

Katherine knew her she was the same woman who was with Ashton the other day. She pulled out a chair opposite to her and took a seat.

" I knew you would come. Anyway you can call me Rita. "

" Cut the crap and tell me what proof where you talking about. " Katherine snapped at her.

" Curiosity killed the cat honey. " she replied as she pulled out a envelope from her purse and handed it to her.

" What is it? "

" Why don't you check it for yourself? "

Katherine's eyes went wide as she stared at the pictures in her hand. It was Ashton's wedding photos. But that's not what caught her attention. It was the girl with him .

" Beautiful isn't she? She's Adriana. "

" Is this some kind of a joke? This can't be Adriana . "

" And why not? " she raised an eyebrow.
" Because this is my picture."

" If you don't believe me why don't you Google her for yourself? I'm stil curious why haven't you done it yet? "

Katherine pulled out her phone and immediately Googled her. No! This can't be happening. How can two people look alike?

" Now do you realise why does he loves you? Because you look like her. Everything about you reminds him of her Katherine. You are nothing but her replacement. "

Katherine didn't reply she still couldn't understand what to believe and what not to.

" He doesn't deserve you Katherine. He neither deserved her. The poor girl loved him all her life. And he...he cheated on her with and girl who caught his eyes. "

" Why are you telling me all this? "

" I don't know. May be I feel sorry for you. "

" You think I'm pathetic? " Katherine asked in anger.

" No Katherine. I think you are smart and you will not let that son of a bitch to ruin your life. The way he did her's. " she got out of her seat and grabbed her purse.

" Have a nice day Katherine. I know you will make a wise choice. " And with that she walked out of the coffee shop. Leaving Adriana behind tending to her own thoughts.

Rita walked out of the coffee shop and pulled out her phone from her purse and answered her ringing phone.

" All done. " She replied with a bright smile on her face.

" Did she buy what you said? "

" I guess she did."

" Good! Now you know what you are supposed to do next.? "

" Leave town and not return till I am told to. "

" Good. " And with that he hung up.

Nicklaus leaned back on his chair as he put his phone back on his desk. He picked up the small photo frame placed on his desk and a small smile made its way to his lips.

" I'm sorry princess daddy has to hurt you. But it was necessary. That man don't deserve you and I won't let him ruin my plans for you. "
