Chapter 47
Magda was busy supervising the people serving food and drinks when she took a glance in the opposite direction and saw Katherine run into the house from the back door with tear-filled eyes.
She excused herself and went after the young woman who she could call her daughter already.
"Katherine..." Magda called out her name as Kathie was about to climb up the stairs, probably to go to her room. But Kathie didn't answer and neither did she stop in her tracks. She continued to proceed to where she was going but Magda didn't give up. She continued to follow her.
The old woman heaved a sigh of relief the moment She got to Katherine's room door, connected her hand with the handle, and saw that the door was opened. If the door was locked, she could bet that Kathie would never open up.
Opening her room door, Magda was greeted with the sound of sobs and another sound like someone was gasping for air.
She absentmindedly shut the door behind her and made her way to Katherine who was seated at the edge of the bed.
. L..can't...breathe...well, Magda. My heart is heavy. Help me.” She cried in between hiccups. Even her makeup was starting to get messy.
Magda rushed over to the nightstand and poured some water from the jug into a glass cup. Coming back to where Kathie was, She handed her the water.
Katherine slowly shook her head
"Just have some, please.”
She shook her head, with her lips quivering.
Knowing how stubborn she could be, Magda brought the cup to her lips and with pleading eyes, She was able to sip small which calmed her a little.
Magda, the housekeeper, returned the cup and came back to sit beside Katherine. “Should I bring you tissue?" Magda asked. She had no idea if it would be necessary anymore because of the makeup which was getting messy already.
Katherine didn't reply, instead, she was producing soft sobs.
Magda took Katherine's cold hands into her warm ones. "It's Beatrice, isn't it? What did she do this time?" Magda had no idea why but she could swear that Beatrice was the cause of her daughter's tears right now.
"No. Not mommy."
Magda frowned, wondering who it could be and what could make her cry this much.
"Then who?"..... Then it hit her. "Oliver?"
"What did he do to you?” She asked with a tone that portrayed she was ready to fight Oliver.
"Lewis.. Lewis....oh God, I feel so disgusted with myself right now."
"Lewis? Please tell me what's going on." She gave her hand a light squeeze, hoping it would calm her to open up to her. "He's been fucking Natasha while dating me." She said, bursting into another round of tears.
"What????" Magda froze.
While she was trying to come to terms with what Katherine told her, the only sound in the room was that of her sobs. "What the hell?” Magda shrieked. "How come? How did you hear about that?”
"I knew Ollie being locked up in the room all day was no good. He said he was going to destroy me but I thought it was all a joke until he came over to our table this evening. I had no idea how he even recognized Lewis but he must have done all the nasty research while being locked up in that guest room.”
“You suspect him to have snooped around your room?”
"I don't know. Even if he didn't. Oliver is rich so he has his ways. All he needs is your name and he will get all the information he wants about you within a snap of his fingers."
"It all makes sense now. How I suddenly became Natasha's enemy from being her favorite person in the world. I regret not listening to my Babies."
"I thought you confronted Lewis about the kiss?"
"I did. But he made me believe it was nothing. Justa sibling kiss and seeing the wonderful bond that I. thought beand Natasha shared, ls had no-ehoice but to believe. I thoudht the triplets were only-.- behaving that way becausethey don't want me to share mylove with any man."
"Are you sure Ollie isn't playing pranks on you both since he wants to destroy what you guys have?" Katherine shook her head, sniffing.
"He showed a picture of the two of them, naked. Even Lewis couldn't defend himself. How could he do that to me? How could he keep such a big secret away from me?"
"I still can't make sense of this? Is ita one-time thing or something?"
"I don't fucking care if it's a one-time thing. Who the hell has sex with their siblings?”
"I know how hurtful it can be, baby. But I still feel you should hear from Lewis."
Katherine stared at Magda with bloodshot eyes. "You're supporting him? I thought you didn't like him. This should make you happy.”
"I wouldn't say I never liked him. I was only indifferent about him. And as terrible as the situation might be, it's only fair you hear from his side dear." "For him to be fucking that bitch, it means I wasn't good for him. What does she have that I don't?"
"Please don't be too hard on yourself. You are not at fault here. That's why you should hear him out. Let him tell you to your face what made him go astray."
"
t won't matter, Magda. I feel so disgusted with myself right now." She started crying again. "I honestly on't deserve this. We've known each otheMor a while now. I thought Lewis was the one for me. I thought he was) Sthe one whom I will spénd my forever with. I was trustisg royself that I made the right choice by trusting him and that Soon enough, everyone will see the good in him. Now tell me, what wrong did I do by following who my heart yearns for? Where did I go wrong?”
Oo
Magda sighed, hugging her. At this point, she wasn't bothered if Katherine's tears or smeared makeup stained her dress
"It's okay darling. I know this can be very painfulsight now and there's probably r nothing I can say to take- the pain away but please I want you to stapycrying. You don't need me to remind you how sick you getwhen yotFcry too much." 4

"My heart can't bear this pain, Magda. Please take it away.” “You'll go through this, darling. God knows I would do anything to make you feel better.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
There were about two minutes of silence between the duo with Katherine crying her heart out. Magda just let her be because that was the only way the young woman would feel better.
“Even though I don't know how true this is, I'm glad you're finding out now and not after you guys are married. That would be another type of trauma on its own."
"Ollie did all of these out of spite. He obviously doesn't care about me. He used this to get back at me just as he promised that he was going to ruin me.”
"He started by telling Lewis that we almost fucked yesterday. I was feeling bad about it when he said I shouldn't feel bad and then he exposed Lewis." "He's definitely up to something.”
Katherine sniffled, "I know. And I promise to make him pay. He can come up with anyhow tricks but I'm not going to give in to his bullshit.”
There was a Knock on the door interrupting their conversation
Magda stared at Katherine.
"I don't want to see anyone.” She mumbled.
"Kathie, are you in there?" The person's voice from the other side came through. Before Katherine could even decide if she should answer or not, the door flung open
