NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: CHAPTER 5
"What contract " she asked checking the files out
"Those are the rules if you want to remain in this God damn marraige" he said looking at her intently trying to read her thoughts.
"No way am signing this, even with just reading the first one, i know its all to your benefits" she said stubbornly folding her hands under her boobs
" I can see you had this all planned out, hmm. You even went to the extent of bribing my maid to bring you to the room so you can seduce me. I can now see the extent you can go" he said his voice laced with venom
" you can say whatever you want, am not signing it " She said standing her ground, she turned to walk out but she was pulled back her face hitting his chest. She looked up at the man towering above her with shock written on her face.
" you dont walk out on me when am not done with you " he said through gritted teeth, she tried releasing herself from his grip but it was firm causing her pain but she didnt let it show.
"Well am done talking to you" she said codly and pushed him with all her strength which only had a small impact but she still managed to get away from him.

She went to her room already exhausted . Once on the bed she picked up her phone dailing a number.
" Hey, i heard you were back from italy, can you come over, i'll send you the address" Katherine said with a smile and hung up. She texted the address of a local restaurant, her favourite place.
With that she laid flat on the bed facing the ceiling slowly drifting off to sleep.
The next day she woke up and performed her daily routine, when she was done she went downstairs headed to the dinning room. She ate alone which was weird.
" where is Mr. President" she asked curiously
" He went to work " the butler said and left.
She finished eating and went back to her room. Hours passed making her feel bored, she roam about the house like a little adventure. Soon she knew her way around the house including the library.
She spent most of days reading books and watching tv. When it was time to leave, she got dressed in Rowens clothes just one of his hoodies which reached her thigh and a short from her closet and a dark shade to hide her identity only few knew about the marriage but still she didnt want any raised brows.
She stepped out of the house telling the butler she was going to get to her clothes. She hailed a taxi going to the resigned place to meet the person.
When she got there, she payed for the ride and went in. Seeing a familiar figure at a very secluded area she smiled brightly and walked over.
On seeing her, Britney her bff stood up and welcomed her with a hug. They expressed how they missed each other. Katherine felt alive, she really needed a break and she was glad her friend was back.They ordered something while still catching up with old times.
"How is your husband and my little prince Alex" Katherine asked changing the direction of their discussion.
"Well their good and we ar expecting another" Britney said rubbing her belly
"Really! wow congratulations, am really happy for you" Katherine said admits tears " Tears of joy" Katherine said and they both laughed.Well Katherine is really soft but because of some circumstances she behaves tough.
" Well congrats to, your married, that's great right " Britney said smiling widely
" Not when his your enemy" she said but it came out more like a whisper
" I thought you were done with boys, after what Thomas did to you, am glad your moving on just fine" Britney said happily
Katherine scoffed and explained everything to her friend down to Charlotte trying to have him, to the point of contract
All the while Britney was shocked to the core, her eyes playing different emotions, she felt so sorry for her friend.
" That jerk, how could he. I knew you never liked him but i never thought he could be such a jerk" Britney said feeeling displeased
" Wait! you know him" Katherine asked with squinted brows
" Yeah, his my family friend, his a cold hearted jerk though he became worse when his ex Diane broke his heart, he became like ice" Britney said staring into space like she was imagining it.
" Well his a jerk, He acts like i forced this marriage on him, i will never sign that contract" she said remembering what happened between them the night before.
They talked about other things oblivoius of the time. It was running late so she bid her friend good bye promising to catch up some other time. Britney was sad but she just nodded her head cutely before going their seperate ways.
Katherine quickly hailed a cab to her dad's house. She was really anxious, she couldnt want to go home late and give Rowen the wrong idea.
"Uhm, could you hurry up please, I'll double the tip" she said cutely trying to swat the man
" Am sorry ma'am there is traffic today which is weird" he said calmy and apologetically.
' It isnt that late, i know Mara would want to engage me in a conversation and that would be hectic especially with the fact that she talks alot, maybe i should give him a call' she thought biting on her nails, she picked up her phone going through the contacts .
'Shoot, i never got his number, well i didnt see a need to' She murmed.
Feeling the car moving, she looked up seeing they was no longer traffic, she sighed in relief. After a few minutes she arrived, she jumped out of the car in hurry forgetting to pay the man, half way there she remembered and ran towards the cab.
" Sorry, i was in a hurry, here's a little tip for your troubles" she said giving him the money and ran off.
When she got to the house already sweating. The gaurds outside, welcomed her warmly, she looked at them disgustingly while entering the house. She just cant stand men sometimes.
She ran upstairs not caring who was looking at her or what they thought of her. She went to her closet and backed her clothes in a suitcase, tossing them in.
" What are you doing, running away huh" Mara the chiefs maid said standing by the door.
" Hi Mara, just tryna pack some clothes home, got nothing to wear" She said not looking back, she just kept tossing her clothes in the suitcase.
"Then why are you in such a haste, you didnt even tell me you were coming over, i had to hear from one of the maids, that is not fair.... You should have called so we could help you out earlier than now" Mara said looking with concern as Katherine zipped the bag .
" No worries already done. Tell dad i came by and that i miss him" Katherine said as she rolled the luggage out of the room with Mara following behind. Mara noded sadly at her requests, Katherine looked at her for a while seeing guilt and sadness in her eyes
" Is eveything alright" Katherine asked concerned as she held her hands. Mara nodded wiping her disturbed face with a smile. Katherine shrugged her shoulders thinking she missed her but couldnt help the tugging feeling that something wasnt right.

Meanwhile, earlier that day
Rowen was busy with work, he had a lot piled up but he wasnt concentrating.
'How could she be so selfish' he thought his anger flaring up. He picked up his phone dailing George number
" What's up dude" George said on the other side of the fun. Rowen heard kissing sounds and made an irritated face.
" I wanted you to accompany me somwhere but never mind, you seem busy" he said the last part with disgust.
" Dont be paranoid dude, ill be there, give me a sec" George said on the phone, anotger kissing sound following it. Rowen hung up feeling angry and disgusted.
'How gross' he thought.
He wondered what the little devil of a wife would be doing so he called in his assistant, Bryan by name.
"I want you to give me a daily report of Mrs. Chase, her every move. Also do a background check on her. Both things she knows or does not kbow about herself and family, dig it up reall clean" Rowen said his eyes darkening. All women wanted is money and he suspects her to be one. If he finds out she is up to no good, he will kill her with his bear hands.
Minutes later George showed up dressing casually,
" where are we headed" George asked as they stepped out of the office
" Take me to a bar or something, i need to cool down " Rowen said walking ahead, George face was plastered with a smile.
' Finally some fun' He thought, its been a while he went to a bar or club
He got in the car and they drove off. They went to a bar not to far from his company.
They took some shots feeling the effect, Rowen ears turned red.
" Why all moody today" George asked looking at Rowen curiously.
" Ever heard of the saying, curiousity killed the cat" Rowen asked, then took another shot.
" Well, am your man and your right hand man and cousin, now tell me what bothers my brother"George said a bit drunk
' It seems he has been drinking before he came' Rowen thought and laughed inwardly
" Well its my damn wife, Katherine" Rowen said and took another shot as he felt his anger surging through him.
"What about the damsel? " George asked turning serious, Rowen stared at him but just thought he was drunk to say she was a damsel, she infact is a demon.
"She thinks really high of herself, thinking she could disobey my rules and get away with it. I offered the shabby woman a contract but she turned it down and i swear she is gonna regret it. I'll make her pay for all the humiliation and embarassment she caused me. I promise to break that little pride she hold unto" Rowen said his eyes going darker at each word of promise he spoke. Turning to look at his cousin, he found him asleep on the counter and just sighed, he continued with his drink caring less.
This place was a cool place to hang out, though they were in a VIP room, he had to wear a mask and baseball cap to cover his identity. He wouldnt want swarm of reporters asking stupid questions.
After a while, he decided to go home, checking the time it was already late. He tapped George but he groaned refusing to wake up. He sighed supporting him to stand with one hands on his waist and the other holding Georges hand that was over his shoulder in place.
Rowen drove George home, and after giving him to his lover. He drove off heading to his house.
....♤♤♤♤
On getting home, the lights were off and every where was unusually quite. She squinted her brows in confusion, rolling her luggage in before shutting the door.
She looked for the switch and turned it on. She turned back heading towards the stairs but was stopped by the familiar voice she hated.
"Where are you coming from" Rowen asked his blood boiling, they just got married yet she thinks she can go about causing trouble.
She turned back looking at him with a bored expression.
" Hi, i didnt see you there.....Bye" She said casually like she hadn't rushed earler to avoid this mess.Turning to leave but he was quick to hold her by the wrist.
"Dont make me repeat myself and dont you dare walk out on me" He said his body shaking in anger, trying hard as possible to control himself.
" I went out, okey, it isnt a crime, and i dont think i need your permission to do what i want to " She shouted back making him scoff in annoyance.
" So where were you around 2pm huh, in a cafe with who your lover, Thomas. I never knew i married a slut" Rowen said furious and that was it she slapped him hard accross his face.
