Prologue
Katherine's
I never thought i'd be at this prestigious college to get my education in business management and arts. I've always been straight A student and i worked very hard to get the to where i am today. I was raised by my aunt Lydia after both my parents died when i was 8.
My aunt Lydia didn't have enough money despite coming from a noble family but she managed to raise me and my cousin Tony with all the love she had to offer. Tony is three years older than me and a genius as he managed to skip a few grades and went to college the age of 15 to study law. He could have reached for more but was too lazy.
He is currently at Harvard finishing his master's degree and one of the most upcoming attorneys as D gossip magazine says . He helped me with my studies and i went from last because of all the drama in my life to a top student and graduated with honors in high school. I got a scholarship to study business management although my passion is art so I decided to do a double major.
I was on my way to my first lecture when someone bumped into me and my books fell down and when I went to pick them I felt sparks when a hand touched mine.
I looked up and was mesmerized by the blue crystal eyes I've ever see. He helped me pick up my books and apologized for not looking where he was going.
I met him again at one of my business classes and found out that he's not what I want to get myself involved with, we are poles apart and he kept bragging about money, girls and stupid parties during the lecture.
I spent four years of my college avoiding him as my feelings for him continued to grow. He kept pursuing me though. At our graduation ceremony he confessed his feelings for me and we decided to give it a shot.

Its been two years since we started dating and graduated, he started working at his family's company whereas I started working at Tony's new law firm after he blackmailed into working for him. Yes , you heard me "blackmailed" although i know he's just looking out for me. He also knows that I've been thinking of expanding my business and also hire a few capable managers to help because truly speaking I have a lot on my plate. Most of my businesses are in Jade city so I'm thinking of moving them here in Dragon city. Working in tony's law firm will help keep my identity a secret, I don't want my maternal family to find out company and I am a hundred percent sure that they would do anything to get their hands on it or try to sabotage it. I will be getting the inheritance my parents left on my 25th birthday and I can tell as the months tick that they are getting restless. Aunt Lydia did her very best to hide me from them after my parents left her my custody when I was eight due to fear that someone was trying to hurt them.
My grandfather Mill Turner is also very greedy to the point where he tried to sell/marry my aunt to a man twice her age just because he promised to give him Seventy eight billion dollars and because he was a duke from B Country not even minding the fact that she was already pregnant with her then fiance's child (Tony) so she ran away from home and kept in touch only with my father.
Today is our second anniversary and i want to surprise him since he's been busy recently helping his father with their business and also with his new tech company so I went to his penthouse. I really do want to tell him about my business but it isn't the right time yet. I wanted to make him a home cooked meal and since he gave me the keys to the penthouse, I thought it would be nice to make it a nice romantic dinner at home, just the two of us.
After buying the stuff that i needed including a very cute anniversary card because it's last minute and I'm bad at making cards, i went straight to his place to get things ready since he should be back home in an hour or two.
When i got there the receptionist was looking at me in a weird way so I just pushed it aside and continued. When i got to his place the door was open indicating Mark was home, my heart skipped a beat when i saw the mess. There were clothes everywhere, I called out his name but no answer so went towards his bedroom where the clothes were leading.
All my dreams and hopes were shattered when I opened the door and saw my darling boyfriend with three girls in bed having the time of their lives, drugs on the stand and him in the middle thrusting inside one of the girls whilst the other two were pleasuring themselves for him. I felt my whole face loosing its color looking at c****** that were on the floor and I could tell that he was also wearing one at the moment , honestly I didn't what to think or say right now.
I seriously thought that he changed for me and left his playboy ways behind but I guess I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed him or entrust my heart to him.
"Sh*t" Mark said when he finally saw me
"Kathy baby look I'm sorry" he said
I ran out of there with my bags except the groceries, got in a taxi with him chasing after me . I told the driver to drop me at my aunt's place and locked myself inside my bedroom. I called Tony and told him what happened. He was angry and wanted to confront him but I told No because I am done with Mark and I don't want to be mixed up with him anymore.
While talking with Tony , I started feeling dizzy and collapsed. The last thing I remember is Tony breaking down the door before darkness consumed me.
