[HI, DEAR READERS. I HAVE USED THE FIRST PERSON’S POV TOO SINCE IT DESCRIBES EMOTIONS IN THE BEST WAY]
Catherine’s POV:
Sarah dropped me at the designated location. She said, “Cathy, I will wait for you in the car. You can get off now.”
I told her to come and wait inside, but she was just as stubborn as me. I gave up after trying to persuade for a while. I then alighted off the car and saw someone running towards me. I didn’t know him.
He finally reached to me, and I heard him say that he was Evan’s personal assistant Daniel. I greeted him with hi and followed him. I was glad that Evan’s assistant was a boy and not some girl’s. My anger reduced by a bit more after that.
“Where is your boss?” I asked Assistant Daniel whil

Evan’s POV I could see how Catherine was laughing while talking to Daniel. I knew I was jealous, and why wouldn’t I be? She is my childhood friend, not Daniel’s. Then, why was she acting so happy with him? They were just meeting for the first time. Was there a need to act so closely? She hasn’t even behaved with me like that since she returned. But she was now actually smiling at his assistant. I was curious as to what they were talking about. Tsk, only if I had some superpowers, I could have listened to their conversation. [Tsk, only if he knew that they were talking about him, he might have vomited blood.] Fine, Cathy was angry with me, so she might be talking like that with Assistant Daniel on purpose. But what about
All the staff left after placing the dishes on the table. Catherine was still trying to control her laughter, but she failed. Evan's lips also twitched, seeing her so happy. He could not wish for anything more. When Catherine saw Evan smiling, she returned to her sense, and spoke, "Evan, you must know why I came to meet you, right? Can you tell me everything about it now?" Evan feigned ignorance and asked, "Huh? What are you talking about, Cathy? What do I know about? And, what do you want me to tell you? Cathy, we can talk later, right? Let's have lunch for now. You must be hungry. I especially asked chefs to prepare your favorite dishes." Evan knew that Catherine wanted to find out the truth behind her parent's death, but he could not tell her about it. First of all, even he was not sure what exactly conspired back then. And, second was he did not want any danger to befall on her. So, the best option was to let her give up on her own and send her back
Sarah saw Catherine and Evan walking out together. She could feel that Catherine was really happy. They looked really good together. Sarah wished that they could always be happy and together like this. While she was lost in her thoughts, she heard someone knock on the car's window. She realized that they had already reached the car, and she was lost in her thoughts. She hurriedly opened the door for Catherine. She heard Catherine saying farewell to Evan. After that, Catherine got into the car. Sarah felt a gaze on herself. When she looked out to see who was looking at her, she met Evan's gaze. He nodded at her in courtesy, and she returned the same to him. After making sure that Catherine was seated properly. Sarah drove away. Catherine’s expression also changed afte
Sarah and Catherine soon came downstairs after their planning and orders were done. Their eyes met with butler’s, and butler nodded his head in return. Sarah and Catherine knew that meant everything was going according to their plan. While they were signaling at each other with their eyes, they heard solid footsteps behind them. They turned back only to see Christian walking there. Then, all of them turned quiet when they saw him. Christian eyed them in confusion. Catherine then hurriedly eyed butler, “Butler Uncle, the brother must be hungry and I am hungry too. Quick, serve us food.” She then turned to Christian, “ Brother, come sit. I told the maid to cook late tonight so you can have hot food. It’s also healthy.”
When the girls walked outside to help with decoration, they were stunned. As expected of top-rated event organizers, the whole house was already nearly decorated. All the servants were running here and there, engaging in any activity that needed their help. The catering service and chefs had arrived too. They were now checking the list of dishes that Butler prepared and was arranging the ingredients. The mansion that looked so cold earlier now had a tinge of warmth in it. Catherine’s eyes teared at the sight. Sarah saw her reaction and consoled her with a pat on the shoulder. “Sarah, do you know after my parent’s death, this is the first time the mansion is being decorated like this", Catherine said in a low voice. “I can finally feel a bit of warmth here now.” Sarah felt bad for Catherine. The god was cruel to this pair of brothers and sisters. Not only they lost the warmth of their parents, now the killer was on the loose too. Butler also arrived th
Christian didn’t reply back and just walked to other guests who were waiting to wish him. Sarah looked at his back confusedly.Catherine asked the butler to distribute cake to guests and then walked to other socialites. She didn’t like these fake socialites but had no other option. Most of them were not even invited by her, but still arrived uninvited with other guests' help. Most of them were planning to get attached to Christian, so Catherine didn’t like them. None of them were good enough to be her sister-in-law.She dragged Sarah with her because she didn’t want to face those socialites' fake smiles all by herself. She would be too disgusted. So, she decisively took Sarah along with her.It has only been few minutes since she started talking with them, but she was already feeling tired. She found an excuse and ran away from them with Sarah in tow.The two girls moved to the couch and began gossiping among themselves. Halfway th
Few days after that incident, Christian and Evan got the message of their parents getting into an accident that led to their death. After investigation, the evidence pointed at each other’s family as the culprit. From then on, Evan’s clan and Christian’s clan broke their ties with each other. They were always at each other’s throats. Evan’s clan blamed and hated Christian’s clan for their head’s death. And, Christian’s clan also shared the same sentiments with Evan’s. Even with all these tragedies and conspiracies, Evan and Christian never forgot their parent’s words. “There is no one in this world whom you can trust except each other. No matter what conspires in the future, you should never turn your back on each other. Don’t ever forget these words.” These words never left from their mind. And, they never broke their trust with each other.
“Shall we tell her the truth?” Evan asked in a low voice.Christian sighed. He didn’t want his sister to fall in any danger, but it seems like that is the only way. “I will tell her everything tomorrow. But, I am afraid of how she will react.” He said worriedly.They talked for a bit more, then Evan left from there without making his presence known. Only two of them knew about this hidden place, so they weren’t afraid of anyone finding them.Christian went to his room the same way he came to the basement. After returning to the room, their earlier conversation flowed in his head. He didn’t know how to tell Catherine everything.He was having too much thinking, so he went down straight to the wine cellar. He took out one of the ol
