So guys, I apologize in advance because my beta isn't back yet, I read very carefully trying to catch the many mistakes as possible but it is hard when you write it to correct. If would like to be my beta please send me a PM. Thanks, enjoy :)


Katherine (KBPOV)

The cab driver asked where I would like to go and I almost answered "nowhere, I will just go back to the bar" because I couldn't remember the last time that I talked to a man for 2 hours. Richard surprised me, being all the time the perfect gentleman and an amazing company for a drink, I forgot how easy is to talk with somebody that knows nothing about you and wants nothing from you.

When I arrived at home, I went to sleep with Richard on my mind and probably for the first time in a long time, a slept through all the night without pills.

Monday and Tuesday just flew by, and soon was the birthday party of Peter's niece, Donna. I wasn't excited since I always felt out of the place in these parties where everybody seems extremely cheerful and extremely perfect.

When I arrived at the country club where the party was happening, I went to the bathroom to change my clothes; the women on Peter's family already hated me enough without arriving at a kid's party with the corrected outfit; and speaking about their hate towards me, I really didn't know what I did for them, the men and Peter's younger sister, Sarah, were always nice and welcoming but the others women were very bitchy to me; I didn't even remember ever being mean to them like I usually was to people around me.

Wearing my favorite summer dress I made my entrance at the party without being notice, I could hear kids screaming and laughing, making my way to the table where I could see Peter and Laura, his mother, I took a deep breath and put a smile on my face, trying to be the less awkward possible; it is so funny that a confident woman like me could almost piss at herself just because she is scared of her mother-in-law.

Peter saw me first and gave me that smile that said "you presence is like a present, thank you so much for sticking around" but this time I didn't feel guilt like I usually do, that day I was way too tired for that shit. Laura seeing that Peter was looking at someone followed his gaze and saw me coming, she gave me her polite smile like she always do and went back to her drink, like I said, they didn't like me.

Laura (LPOV) Peter's mother

I saw my son look up at someone and gave the person a big smile, I followed his gaze trying to discover who he was smiling to and saw Katherine with a beautiful summer dress that didn't show anything but probably would make the few men at the party wondering what was underneath like always happened. Peter stood up and gave her a kissed like he didn't see her in days, not appropriated for the occasion but I let it slide since he always behaved like a puppy wanting attention near her.

"Hello Laura, how are you?" Katherine said smiling polite at me and giving one kiss at each cheek.

"I am marvelous Katherine and how are you?"

"Good, I am always good." She said looking at me like a bird with a broken wing, thinking about it, she always appeared this way, like a bird that broke his wing, probably was this that used to draw the men to her.

I never quite understood why Peter fell in love with her, not that she wasn't beautiful, she was, very pretty indeed and very smart too, but she was always too reserved; at first I thought that was because she was shy but after 1 years of them dating I didn't understand how someone could spend a weekend with us without saying practically nothing. Peter and Katherine had been together for almost 4 years and nobody knew nothing about her, I bet even Peter knew nothing about her, how could you love someone who you didn't know a thing? I don't know. Probably he wanted to save her from her demons that made her looked that way, Peter always wanted to save everybody that he knew, probably that was the reason why he became a psychiatrist, was his own way of saving people.

After 10 minutes of Katherine at the party the others men started surrounding her like flies at the light, Peter lost in the middle of all attention Katherine was receiving, for that I couldn't even blame the poor woman, she usually looked annoyed with all the attention but she never let them know and was never rude with any of the men, for that I admired her, but just me; all the others women were always pissed that she was getting the attention of their husbands. I once heard one of the women say that Katherine was already engaged to a perfect man, why did she have to steal their husbands?

"Mother, what are you thinking?" Margaret my oldest daughter asked.

"What?"

"What are you thinking? We have been calling your for like ten minutes and you were lost in your thoughts."

"Katherine. I was thinking about Katherine."

"Peter's fiancee? Why were you thinking about her?" Margaret made a frown.

"Why wouldn't I think about her? She is going to be Peter's wife. And stop frowning you are going to get wrinkles."

"It is just strange; I thought you didn't like her so why would you spend time thinking about someone you don't like?"

"I like her, why wouldn't I like her? She is smart, pretty and doesn't need Peter's money."

"Yeah, but she is kind bitchy don't you think?"

"Hm… Why do you think she is bitch?"

"I don't know… she is always with that superior look on her face…" Margaret was interrupted by Sarah, my youngest.

"What are you guys talking about?"

"Katherine" I answered.

"Oh, she is so pretty today!" Sarah being one the few women without a husband in our cycle didn't have a reason to hate Katherine; in her eyes Katherine couldn't do any wrong, being in law school, she looked up for Katherine and her big success so early in her career; like Peter usually near Katherine she was like a puppy wanting attention.

"She always pretty, which is the problem! Ugh, I don't like her." Margaret said; my poor daughter envied Katherine's beauty; she has always being the ugly duck that never became swan.

"Margaret, please, that is not a reason to dislike somebody." Sarah argued, like she always does.

"It isn't just that, she has this superior look and she never cared to really talk to us. We are her sisters-in-law and we don't know anything about her and we know her for almost 5 years!"

"Almost 4 years" I said

"What?" Margaret asked.

"We know her for almost 4 years, I counted."

"Okay, whatever, we know her for a long time and we don't know anything! That is just wrong."

"It is not just with us that she is this way" Sarah said.

"How do you know this?" Margaret asked intrigued.

"We studied some of her cases in the university and one of my professors know her and knew her mother, since her Mother is dead, did you guys knew that? Anyway, so he asked her to come and talk the class and we get to ask her questions and everything."

"Yes, I knew." I answered at the same time Margaret asked.

"Wait a minute, her mother is dead?"

"Yeah, she was murdered; was like the crime of the year because she was a famous lawyer." Sarah said with a serious face.

"Really? Oh god, how did we not know that? What was her age when her mother died?"

"I don't know, I think twenty or something."

"Okay Sarah, go back to the story where you were telling how do you know she is this with everybody." I said.

"Oh…yes; so like one of the days that she went to the university with her assistant, after class some students went to ask question and I went to talk to her assistant:

S:Hi, I am Peter's younger sister; how are you?

A:Hm… who is Peter? - she said with a confused face.

And I was like, how don't you know who is Peter?!

S:Katherine fiance? They have been engaged for like eight months and dating for almost 3 years, how you didn't know that?

A:Oh, the fiance. Well, Katherine is a very reserved person; I only knew she was engaged because I saw her ring a few months ago.

S:So she is cold with everybody them? Because, we have known her for a long time and we really don't know anything about her.

A:Yes, she is very reserved person, I work for her for almost 8 years and I just know basic things that I need to for the job, the others assistants know almost everything about their bosses.

S:Wow, I thought she was this way just with us.

A:Not really, I don't think nobody really knows her and that one of the things that I like about her.

S:Why do you like it?

A:These days everybody knows everything about everybody, is good to know that some people know who to be a reserved person; it is charming. Everybody at the firm loves and hates Katherine at the same time; all the men love her and all the girls hate her; she has this thing that draw us towards her, I really don't know what it is.

S:Yeah, you are right about both things.

And with that I walked way, see, nobody really knows her."

"The assistant is right." I said after a few minutes thinking about what Sarah just said.

"Right about what?" Margaret asked.

"She really has something about her that draws people, I can't put a finger what is it, but I can feel it."

"Please mother, please don't say you are failing for her act. She is just a cold person and doesn't deserve Peter."

"I don't think she is cold, she is just reserved. Look how warm she is with Donna!" Sarah defended Katherine like she usually does when Margaret offended her; we looked at Katherine playing with Donna, giggling and laughing.

With an annoyed expression Margaret went get more drinks, Sarah went back to her friends and sat there alone trying to figure out how someone could be so cold and so warm at the same time.
