Chapter 20

Sarah had told me about what was going on online regarding me and Catherine.

But I’ve never paid are mind to the comparison

Hell, I didn’t want to be compared to anyone.

I just wanted to live my life on my terms.

And now, I was focused on an opportunity with KM Group, which was currently seeking a stylist for their new quarterly project.

KM Group was a global powerhouse which was recently expanding into the domestic market they held significant influence enough to make even the king family cautious in thair approach

A collaboration with KM group would offer me a shield against the Hudsons who were constantly trying to ruin my name,

Towards evening, descended the stairs to find Chad deep in conversation with Marcelo Upon noticing me,Chad said to me.

“Oh Mrs King, we were just talking about you.”

I walked closer to them,curiously.“Did I do something wrong?”

“Of course not. There’s a banquet at the King’s family house tomorrow and both you and Mr King are invited.”

“Me?“I glanced at Marcelo.

I knew Marcelo’s relationship with his extended family was strained and got a lot worse when his father passed I was sure he didn’t want to be around them

Plos I doubted if he wanted me accompanying him to the King family event.

The Invitation seemed more like a trip.

“What’s with that look? You don’t want to go?” Marcelo asked me

“I don’t.“I shook my head.

I firmly believe that I would always be a nominal Mrs King Sure, a few of his family members know that he was married to me but I wasn’t ready to meet the rest given his tense ties with his family,

Was there any need to meet the rest of his family.

But then again, we were married and it was inevitable.

It was only right I met his family.

“You do know that you have no choice in this, right?” He asked.

I nodded

I knew.

I had to do everything he wants. That was what I signed up for.
