Chapter 24: chap24
Kate
I was almost finished with the dinner preparation with the help of martha but the dessert was left to assembled... it was tiramisu I thought I should get ready first then even guest arrived it can be arranged at that moment..... I went to my room n quickly take a shower after shower I picked a sea green dress with blue flowers I finished my look with a golden belt... I lightly put some make up... the toughest part was my hair .... I don't know how to tame or set them at this short moment.... since its quite long so I thought a braid with twist of french n fish tail will go with some hair falling out from the front .... I was almost finished with my hair when I heard my room was knocked... I turned to saw it was Alex dressed in casual clothes with blue jeans n grey shirt n cuffs were fold which make him looked more hot...
I said 'hi...when did you came?'
He replied 'just 10 min a go... I want to tell you Shawn n his fiancee racheal will be coming tonight... I hope you don't mind ..
I replied 'ofcourse not... he is your friend he can came any time he want'
He looked uncomfortable about something but then n said
'you looked radiant... this dress brings the most outstanding shine in your eyes'
I shyly smiled' thanks... I was really nervous but you put me in ease'
He looked unease about something... I have a bet it has something to do with the morning... but I wont mention it I don't want to embarrassed my self again n again... his guilt is his own doing...
I bent down to retrieve the shoes but since my stomach was making it difficult for me I hold the dresser n try to bend again... Alex hold me by waist n told me to hold on he picked my shoes n then he make me sit in the near couch n then he picked my foot n start putting it on my feet
I said 'Alex what are you doing... it doesn't looked good... I will do it'
He replied Shhh... it looks very good from where im seeing..
After putting up my shoes I try to get up but Alex stop me by putting his hand on my leg n then bending towards my body
He said 'I wished no one come today so that I can unwrap this dress n get lost in you... but I promise tonight im going to do all the stuff which I have in my mind when in saw you...'
I was blushing... when Alex start kissing my mouth' my jaw' my neck n start playing with my breast...
He looked to me n says 'kate im very difficult person n a very egoistic bastard... I told you I don't think before I speak... but this thing between us is passionate n electrified ... so this is the only language I know to rectify my action .... you understand that plz'
Now I understand his why he is so affectionate towards me.... he feel guilty about this morning.... these moments give me stupid hopes about us n our unborn baby... should I tell him that we are having a girl? ... but his words from morning was so clear that he is not interested so left that information
I put my hands on his face n said ' Alex I understand.... we should be going'
He replied' yeah we should but before we go... I want to tell you again dont get nervous especially from your father..... I don't know how im going to sound but appearance means alot in our world don't say or do anything which you think can create a scene... I hope you get that' I replied sadly because like my father he also think I Wil disappointment him... 'Alex I will try my best not to embarrassed you.... today I will act as my best'
He uncomfortable looked at me n just node
We both stand n move towards door...
Emma was having her dinner cause I dont want to spoil her routine just because of the guests......
The door bell rang it was shawn n his beautiful fiancee... she greet me with a huge smile n hug me
She said ' shawn told me alot about you.. n you looked so beautiful n glowing'
No one ever was so affectionate towards me with the first meeting I was little shocked with I give her a smile n thanked her..... then after few minutes my parents came... my parents first they come hugged Alex n emma.... I hesitantly moved to greet them... Mom just looked to me I moved to hug her but looked my stomach n turn her face..... my face was red.... when I moved to greet my father n try to give him a hug he stop me by holding my arms tightly.....
N said' oh oh... so you have prove to be your mother daughter..... she will be so proud that you trapped a good looking n rich guy by getting pregnant... but people like you forget that they never get the respect n love in the society.... when Alex told me about your pregnancy I was so shocked n angry but when he told us he doesn't want to do anything with this marriage n with this baby.... it gives us a satisfaction that you people cannot win us'
I was now silently crying n try to give him a sad smile... his words still hurt but ALEX told him about that he doesn't want my baby totally breaks me...
Alex came n he looked embarrassed about the things my father said...he said' Ryan I think you should not talk about this we had an discussion about this and you know everything so plz keep it civil in front of other guest'
Father said ' civil n with her... she is a disappointment, she never give a single happiness in my life, n now you r going to see how she will embarrassed you in front of your guests... she has no social standing n manners'
Alex replied enough! Ryan I told you to leave it behind... Kate is my wife now n she has social standing now... plz not for me but for Emily sake be civil'
My father just nod... by the time Alex parents n his uncle n aunty n their daughter who looks closer to my age
I greet them... Alex parents met me with smile n hug n they ask about my health
Alex uncle sam n wife gives me a slight smile... their daughter Helen did not hug me but give me reserved smile n just handshake.
It was awkward for everyone
Alex mom n aunt came n said 'sorry for that but I forget to tell you Helen was very good friend of Emily n very protective of her but after her death... she was very sad like she lost a sister.. so her reserved behavior was because now you r Alex wife n she feel uncomfortable'
I smiled n said 'I totally understand... its new for everyone... I hope with time every thing will be normal'
Dinner went well ... father, Alex, his father n uncle start talking about business stuff... n we all ladies went to lounge to have our dessert n tea there'
Alex aunt said ' Kate you are excellent cook ... we used to come to Alex house but this dinner of yours proves to be the best visit of my life'
She said jokingly but Helen seems to mind that n said ' Mom Emily was also good cook... but more over she has a grace n welcoming feel to everything she did'
I just smiled n not replied...Alex instructed me that I should not do or say anything that create scene
Alex mom n his aunt come to my rescue n said ' Helen we understand that Emily was your friend but Making kate uncomfortable is not acceptable too'
Helen replied' uncomfortable!! What about her she has make so many life uncomfortable... Alex told me multiple times how much he regret her... how she trapped her by pregnancy... she dont deserve to be there...'
Alex mom said in anger ' Helen... I know you care for Alex just like your brother but she is her wife ... you have to respect her... now she will be living in Alex life not Emily so start accepting that'
Helen replied' she may be living in his life but not in his heart... cant you see all house is covered in Emily pictures... n your saying Emily do not belong here... she cant even make her own place in this house.... no wonder all the rumors we have heard might be true.... N how can you be sure this is Alex baby it can belong to any bastard'
Now I can't control my self ... I am so angry that how dare she bring my child into this ...
I lashed on her n said 'Helen .. say what ever you want to say to me but don't you dare to say anything about my baby... because if you did then its not going to be good... you understand'
Helen 'I knew it... this is real bitchy face..
She doesn't complete her sentence because Alex came...n I become relax that he will support me
Alex said what's going on?
Helen replied 'why don't you ask your little innocent wife here...she just insulated me... no insult but she warn me ... is this how she treat the guests'
I try to speaking but Alex stop me n said ' kate what the fuck you did.... Helen is my sister... how dare you to disrespect her like that... when ever I try to trust you... you do something to make me disappointment....'
I replied ' Alex plz listen to me... she is telling you half thing..
Alex looked so angry n said ' enough... I don't want to listen a word from your mouth... apologized her...right now'
Alex mom came n try to tell him the whole truth but Alex told them to be out from this... he said he won't listen anything from anyone...
I replied' Alex I won't apologized to her... she ..
Alex stop me in midway n said ' Don't you dare to say No... Kate we made a deal so always thing about it before you say No... now apologized Helen right now'
My heart crushed into more tiny pieces ... n I know he was still using my baby future as a pawn to me
I tearly looked Helen n said ' Im sorry Helen ... if I disrespected you... I wont do this again... Im not like emily who has a social standing unlike me....im just disappointment in everyone life... Please forgive me...
I looked to shocked faces of Alex n then shawn they might remember thise words... Alex has used those words about me in their wedding ceremony... I used then again to see Alex reaction.
I said goodbye to everyone n went to my room...I was so angry with myself with everyone... that all I do is cry.0000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
