Chapter 68: No More Hiding

“Why did you do it? Why did you leave Kenzie’s home?” Carlos asked. His hands were on his waist and his head swayed in dismay at Kate. “You realize how much you had me worried. I was about to throw away my championship!” 1

Kate bit her lip. She looked down at her hands before returning her regard to Carlos. She delicately replied, “1- I wanted to see your game. I did not think there was any danger with my bodyguards around.”

“Besides, for years, I have watched you play on TV. The only time I came to your game, you dismissed me. I have always wanted to see you during the championships. And now that we are together, I craved it more.”

“I was already here, and when the idea came to me, I – I could not resist it,” she revealed. “I – I just wanted to see you personally – see that glory you feel when you win the championship. I wanted to share your happiness, feel it, even if I cannot hold you. To see you was rewarding enough.”

Then, I missed all your calls because gadgets are supposed to be switched off in the centre court. I, instead, put my phone on silent.”
