Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 104:

Remembering how the Fox Alliance had nearly captured Norah the last time, Kathy’s grip tightened in frustration. They had failed miserably, unable to apprehend Norah and torture her since then.

Exhausted, Kathy returned to Carter Manor, only to find Derek, alongside Sharon and Juliana, wearing somber expressions. Overwhelmed, Kathy silently moved to the center of the living room.

Juliana commanded sharply, “Kneel!”

Kathy complied, sinking to her knees heavily on the floor.

“Kathy Carter! A member of the Carter family, you’ve embarrassed us all by chasing after Jordy for an auction invite. Do you even care about the Carter family’s reputation?”

Kathy bit her lip, choosing not to respond.

Looking at Kathy with disappointment, Sharon lamented, “I was in disbelief when your brother told me about your ridiculous behavior. Why stoop so low just to please him for an auction invitation?”

Kathy had hickeys around her neck, a reminder of the deal she had struck with Jordy just to get one auction invitation. Sharon’s frustration grew as she observed her daughter, traditionally proud, now appearing diminished by her voluntary actions.

“Derek plans to escort Madeline to the auction, and I wish to attend as well. If he won’t take me, I’ll find another way,” Kathy said, her gaze unwavering, convinced of her own innocence.
