The storm in my life
Chapter 27
Katherine’s POV
“Dad”, Noah said, extending his hand to his dad for a hand shake.
My hair was long enough, so I used a bit of it to cover my face.
“How are you doing?” he asked.
“I’m good dad, how about you?”
“I’m awesome. I seem everything is going on well here. I’m proud of you son”, he said and Noah rolled his eyes.
“I’m glad you appreciate me today”, Noah said and his dad grinned.
“Anyway, I’ll like to discuss something with you in private”, he said, turning to face and I looked away.
“Okay, but let me introduce you to my girlfriend Katherine. I know you’ve seen her already but that time I was just faking it. This time it’s real”.
Oh God, what do I do now?
“Katherine??” his dad asked stuttering.
“Yeah, Kat say hi to my dad”.
I had no choice than to stand up and extend my hand to him for a hand shake.
His confused look turned to an evil grin.
“Katherine. It’s nice to meet you again”, he said hugging me.
“You’re such a bad girl Kat. If you needed money so much, you could have just come to me and not my son”, he said whispering in my ear and I pulled away quickly.
“Kat works here now. She’s the…….”
“Mmm, I see”, he said, observing me.
“Uhm, I’ll take my leave now. I’ll talk to you later, Noah”, I said and I left quickly.
God please get me out of this. I can’t deal with this on my own. I know I made wrong decisions and there areconsequences for it, but please get me out of this one for my family’s sake and for Noah’s sake too.
I got to my office and placed my head on the table trying to think things through and then I found myself praying.
I prayed for a short while and continued with my work for the day.
I was so focused on what I was doing that I didn’t notice that someone had walked in.
“Bad girl Katherine”, he said and I almost jumped out of my seat.
“Can you please just stay away from me? For your son’s sake, please”.
“For his sake. You haven’t told him yet, have you?” he said walking up to me.
“Stay away from me”, I said, getting up from my chair and moving away.
“Oh c’mon don’t act like an angel. I know you enjoyed our time in bed”.
“What are you talking about? We didn’t do anything. I ran away from you, remember?”
“Well, all I remember is the good time we had together and if you want it to remain your secret, you’ll have to do all I ask or Noah will hear of it and your fake relationship and job will be over”.
“My job and relationship is not fake”.
“Oh please. Apart from gracing people’s beds, what else can you possibly be good at?”
“I got this job through hard work. I’m a first class student and my CV was great. You can check it out”, I said, glaring at him.
“Did you have to sleep with your lecturers to get that too?” he asked, grinning and I really wanted to slap him. God please grant me patience.
“Just stay away from me”, I yelled.
“Stop being dramatic. I’m even giving you a good offer here, to keep your job and whatever you have going on with my son, all you have to do is get in bed with me, that’s all. And my wife wants my son to get married as soon as possible, we both know it’s not going to be you. I won’t allow that. So the deal has changed. Break things off with my son and come work for me. The work is really easy. Sleep with me every time I want and I’ll pay you whatever you want. Isn’t that cool?” he said winking.
“You’re really sick!! Get out now or I’ll let Noah know everything including your wife”, I said, threatening him.
“You better think of my offer. It’s the best you’ll ever get”, he said, smiling and he left.
I can’t deal with this. That man is just a wicked person. How can he be doing this to his son and his wife? And I’m the victim in all this. If Noah finds out, he’ll be heart broken and his mum will also be heartbroken and it’ll destroy his family. I can’t also let this man blackmail me like that. I really like Noah and I don’t want to hurt him. Oh God, what do I do? I don’t have anyone to talk to about this because I didn’t tell anyone about anything. Now I’m stuck alone in all this.
God please help me out, I said tearing up. My dad is still sick and my family was depending on me right now. If I lose this job, I’m not sure I can get any other job. I can’t hurt Noah too by telling him the truth and his dad is also blackmailing me. What do I do?
I cried for a while and made my decision. I’m going to break things off with Noah. It’ll save my job because I didn’t get this job based on my relationship with him and it’ll also nullify his dad’s blackmail. If I’m not dating his son, he can’t really do anything. My CV and first-class is genuine and it’s keeping me here. He can’t just sack me because I broke up with him. I gave to do this. But I really like him and I felt that hem was the one. Oh God, why is this happening to me?
Should I just tell him the truth? Yeah, I have to. The truth will always set me free. It’ll hurt him, but at least he’ll get to see his father for who he truly is and his mum doesn’t deserve a monster as her husband.
I quickly rushed out of my office and went to Noah’s.
When I got there, I met he and his dad in a heated conversation and he was in tears.
Oh no.
"Noah”, I called out and he glared at me.
“Get out!!” he yelled.
“Noah, he’s lying to you. I didn’t…..”
“Get out, Now!!!” he yelled and I ran off.
