MasukCHAPTER 207: ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD CATHERINE:Witnessing that level of grimey-ass deception—and seeing Jordan just sitting there ready to walk right into the trap—left me feeling a type of sad I can’t even put into words. It wasn't just sadness; it was like my soul was being hollowed out. "Catherine! Wait! Just listen to me!" Jordan’s voice echoed in my head, no matter how hard I tried to shut it out. Just the thought of him sitting there and letting his mother and Diana play him like a fool made me break even more.I collapsed onto the bed, my face deep into the pillows. I didn't even take off my shoes. I just buried my face into the pillows and let out a sob that shook my whole body. I wept until my eyes were swollen and my pillows were soaked through.My heart wasn’t just broken; it was shattered into a million jagged pieces. Another woman was gonna have my husband’s pup. Another woman was carrying his legacy, his blood, his heir. And the worst part? Jordan seemed perfect
CHAPTER 206: THIS WAS INTENTIONALCATHERINE:Jordan finally looked at me, and he looked just as confused as I felt, but there was anger written all over his face. He took a deep breath."After Arcie died… I was in a dark place," he started, rubbing his face with his hands. "I vowed I’d never marry again. I thought I was done with love. But I still wanted an heir one day. So, I went to a clinic. I had my sperm frozen in a lab. My plan was to eventually find a surrogate and do IVF when the time was right."He looked at me with pleading eyes. "But then I met you, Catherine. Everything changed. I forgot all about that lab. I didn't need a surrogate because I had you—my mate, my Luna. I figured we’d have our own kids when we were ready."I felt a lump in my throat. "Okay… so how does Diana fit into this? Why is Mom talking about her carrying your pup?"Jordan’s jaw tightened. "My mother and Diana…they went behind my back. They connived with the doctor at the clinic. They got my sperm to fe
CHAPTER 205: IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK, CATHERINE CATHERINE:After I left Luna Elizabeth’s room that morning, I went back to my room and walked straight to the bathroom. I washed up, stepped out of the bathroom and got ready for work. By the time Jordan came to inform me that he was leaving for work, I was already dressed, looking sharp in a crisp white shirt and a pencil skirt. Jordan asked why I was dressed so early. And I told him I was going back to work without mincing words. At first, Jordan was totally against it."Baby, you don’t need to do this," he told me, pacing around my bedroom while I tied my hair back. "You’re my wife. You’re the Luna. Anything you want, you just ask. Why stress yourself out at the office?"I had to play it smart. I looked him dead in the eyes and said, "Jordan, I can’t just sit in this house all day staring at the walls. I need to keep my mind busy so I don’t get depressed. Let me work. For my own sanity."He wasn't buying it, saying I could do garden
CHAPTER 204: CATHERINE IS IN A TRAPCATHERINE:“I’m going to sponsor you in college, but only after you’ve given me an heir.”The moment the words left Jordan’s mouth, the warmth in the room evaporated. It felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my head. My heart literally fell into the pit of my stomach, and I just stared at him, blinking.I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. I felt like a fish gasping for air. An heir?This was the third time he was bringing up this subject since I met him. It must really be important to him. But why use it as an ultimatum? Does it mean if I can't conceive a pup I have no future with him? But what did I expect? He was an Alpha and all Alphas needed an heir. It's like a legacy, an assurance that when they're no more here in the land of the living, their pack and everything they worked for wouldn't fall into the wrong hands.But this marriage was less than a month. Though we had started sleeping together before the weddi
CHAPTER 203: A PROMISE WITH A CONDITION JORDAN:I have to admit, seeing Catherine take charge like that was a total trip. I lay back against the headboard, watching her move with a kind of boldness I hadn't seen before. Usually, I’m the one calling the shots, the one setting the pace, but tonight, she wanted to be the one in the driver's seat. I watched her with hidden amusement—and a whole lot of heat—as she went about exploring my body like it was a map she was trying to memorize.I never really thought about my own body being that sensitive. I mean, I’m an Alpha CEO; I’m built for battle and business. But the second her warm lips closed around my nipple, I almost hit the rooftop. I never knew the male nipples were just as sensitive as the female ones until that exact moment. She sucked tenderly, her tongue swirling around the tip, and it sent this tantalizing pleasure straight down to my gut, making my cock harden until it felt like it was made of steel.Her elegant fingers were e
CHAPTER 202: I NEED YOU TO DO ME A FAVOUR CATHERINE:After that heavy, toxic dinner, Jordan took me upstairs, but I wasn't about to let the smell of his mother’s bitterness cling to me. I told him I needed to bathe, and I retreated to my own room. I spent a long time under the hot water, scrubbing away the stress of the day until my skin was squeaky clean.I creamed my body with that expensive lotion he’d bought me, making sure every inch was soft as silk. I tied my hair up into a neat bun so my neck was exposed, and I used a generous amount of my favorite body spray. Then, I reached for one of those pieces of lingerie Jordan liked so much—the black lace one that left absolutely nothing to the imagination and put it on. I sprayed the room with a rose-scented freshener, leaving the air sweet and heavy, and left the door cracked open just a tiny bit.I sprawled out on the center of the bed, closing my eyes and letting my legs fall wide apart so that my pussy was completely exposed. I k
CHAPTER 131: IT'S TOO LATE, ZOECATHERINE:“Alright, I'll tell you what he did to me this afternoon.”Zoe was staring at me now, waiting for me to start talking. I cleared my throat, trying to find the words to explain the mess in my head. Zoe was sitting there with her arms crossed, looking at me
CHAPTER 133: ZOE'S PLANCATHERINE:I stared at Zoe like she’d lost her damn mind. "Denzel? Zoe, are you for real right now? I can’t ask Denzel for a penny. You know how that man is. He’s gonna mock me until I’m nothing but a puddle on the floor. He’s gonna look me dead in the eye and ask why my 'bi
CHAPTER 137: YOU'RE SOAKED FOR ME, KITTY CAT CATHERINE:My official driver came to St. Jude's Memorial Hospital to pick me up before eight but I wasn't ready. My Mom had only just been wheeled out of the surgery room. I needed to see her face. I needed to be sure she was okay before I left for wor
CHAPTER 127: I'M WITH YOU, CATHERINE AMANDA;I sat there on the edge of the couch in Jordan’s room, my heart feeling like it was stuck in a blender. My ears were still ringing with the nasty things Luna Elizabeth had spit at me downstairs. She treated me like I was some kind of virus she needed to
