Chapter 23

Katherine sat at the carriage, the thought to make peace with Claire out of the window. if one thing have changed after Katherine parents death, it was her timid side. Her sister Evelyn sat beside her while Steve sat beside his sister.

The carriage arrived at a place which looked fancy and people in fancy dress walking there looking so happy as they walk with their family. They were horses casually walking. Katherine got down along with the others. " wow Kathie what do you think about this place" Evelyn went to whisper beside her.

" I think it's wonderful " Katherine said her eyes trying to take in the sorounding. "it's a better place to be called a picnic visit"

The family of Heathcliff and the Winters walked towards the place the saw as more good. Reuben Heathcliff was Jerome winters step brother, so he had easily changed name, from winters to Heathcliff. "brother why does it seem am the only one who doesn't like them" Claire said to her brother Steve.

"you should Claire, there is no big deal they aren't bad people " he said walking beside claire.

"They aren't even our real cousin " Claire scoffed as the walked. Steve looked at his sister before looking straight.

They played happily spending time as if they were family. people who sold different stuff passed away hoping to get buyers." mother can I go swim with them". Katherine heard Claire say and she excused herself to go to the restroom.

Katherine went to take some fresh air alone not use to spending a long time with another family, when her parents aren't close.After few minutes she walked out, but immediately she stepped out she hit unto something hard as steel, making her flinch before rubbing her forehead.

Katherine eyes swept over the neat, expensive suit the person was wearing before falling on a pair of familiar face with silver eyes and thick long hair. Her eyes widened, showing her first human expression after her parents death.

" sir. " Katherine ended up muttering in shock. Remembering her dream and the theory of her being her parents killer, she straightened up becoming wary of the man.

" What a surprise young girl " His eyes moved to look around him. " are you still into widening those eyes "he said before the side of his lips pulled making the handsome man appear scary at the same time charming. A single dimple came to appear at the side of his defined cheekbones where his lips was pulled. A dimple Katherine never noticed. He looked scary with the slight smile because it doesn't seem like it was a hearty one but a smile to instil fear.

Katherine noticed some beads of sweat form on her face, she remembered she didn't have handkerchief with her so she drew back in nervousness so that she can quickly get back to the restroom.

"Here is my handkerchief " he said to her bringing up a white fabric. Katherine hand moved to take the white handkerchief but she didn't manage to hide her nervousness as her hand were trembling. Katherine quickly took it to hide her trembling hand. she didn't use it immediately. " thank you " she said meanwhile, Sirius Donovan had noticed all that. " what are you doing here? "she asked him to living the atmosphere.

"Don't tell me this place was made for only you " he said with the slight smile still in his face. Katherine looked down her shoe when she raised her head up her breath hitched. " I came after a prey you see" he had drew slightly closer to the side of her ear. it wasn't Katherine's eyes fault as it widened again. who could be the prey. Katherine drew back but ended up hitting her back against the door.

He chuckled." Don't be scared little kathie" he said to her which freaked her like hell. "Excuse me sir my family are waiting for me " she said scurrying away but not after the man said. " see you later Katherine Winters "

When the girl have totally gone out of his vision his eyes narrowed. family did she say.His eyes went to look down on his beloved handkerchief on the floor.
