I am at my hotel room, I booked the penthouse suite, apparently there is just two of this suite in the hotel, and the other is occupied, the door is right opposite mine, my suite looks really beautiful, more beautiful than the pictures, and for a hotel it is up to standards, it has a breathtaking view of the city, the sitting room has large space with a 60 inch television, and don’t get me started with the kitchen, the kitchen is absolutely divine, with the beautiful designed marble tops and space, I am a fairly good cook but I don’t cook as much as I ought to, I’m just too lazy for that I guess, moving on to the bedroom, it has a really large king size bed and a huge walk in closet, with a magnificent bathtub. I start unpacking my clothes and my mind begins to wonder to the conversation I had with Philip earlier, If I was curious before, right now my curiosity level was off the charts, I needed to know what Stiliyan Dimitros story was all about, I know this is not part of my job but I just needed to figure him out, my curiosity level was so damn high to drop it, age is really just a number in his case because from the little I know, the boy is more of a man than anyone I have ever met.
I am finally done packing, I turn on my phone, and see different messages, one from my dad, one from Christian, I smile to myself when I see fifteen new messages from Anna,
I decide to read my dad’s text first, “call me as soon as you are settled,”
I check on Christians message and it read “call me as soon as you get this,”
I decide to check Anna’s messages when I am done calling my dad and Christian, because I am definitely sure she is just been Anna, extremely dramatic as always and besides our conversation would last hours.
“Hello, I just got your text, how are you doing?” I say to Christian, really eager to end this conversation,
“Hey babe, I got your note, why didn’t you wake me up so i could give you some good loving before you left?” I cringe at the thought of Christian fucking me, I wonder how I would spend a life time with this man,
“You were sleeping so soundly, I felt you were really tired with work and all, didn’t want to disturb you,” I said , using the sweetest voice I could muster up ,
“it’s all good babe, I understand, but next time don’t leave my house without me fucking you, I have to go now would call you later, bye, I love you darling,”
he does not wait for me to reply and he ends the call, he never waits for my reply after saying I love you and i’m glad, and then it hit me, Christian has never said “I love you’ in person before, always through a phone call, and he never waits for me to reply, does he know I don’t feel the same way or he is afraid I might lie and say I love him too just to please him when he knows i am being insincere, or was he mindlessly saying those words, or is it Christian just been Christian, urghhhh!!,I just shrug it off as I am mentally and physically tired at the moment.
I called my dad, he just wanted to make sure I got here safe and I should start my job as soon as I can, so I can finish up early and get ready for my wedding.
I take a nice bubble bath which lasted for an hour or so, I really needed my body to relax, I get dressed in a pink see through nightgown, grab a bottle of wine, I finally open Anna’s text, the first one reads;
“hey bitch I miss you already” the second one reads ;
“I’m lonely Cat, must be in Bulgaria this weekend,”
the third one just says “Catalina”, same as the remaining eleven, the fifteenth one reads;
“you better call me really soon or we are so done,” I smile to myself, typical Anna.
I spent hours talking on the phone with Anna though I was so fucking tired, we talked about random things but I did not mention the whole thing about my discovery on Stiliyan, it felt weird not telling Anna everything but I just had to keep this one to myself, and surprisingly she did not mention him either, and she still does not have any idea who keeps sending her flowers,
she asks for Eliot’s number so she can figure out who is sending her flowers, but I discourage her, I tell her to wait a little, if she finds out now, the excitement would be short lived and she might end up not been interested with whoever her secret admirer is, so let her enjoy it while it lasts, and besides he might show up, if he doesn’t, then I would personally figure out who he is.
In life, everything sadly comes to an end, my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer 4 years ago, I guess all that smoking finally caught up with him, we have spent so many beautiful years together, I don’t think I am willing to let him go, it’s a miracle he has lasted this long, but these days he seems worse, I know he is trying to look strong for me but I know my husband, and my husband is in pain. “a penny for your thought?”Stiliyan says in a low whisper, letting out a slight cough with blood stains on his handkerchief as he lay down, “Mum, dad, what is going on? You called, is everything okay? Dad, are you alright?” my two children, ‘Annabel and Christian’ say as they walk into the room with our grandkids, ‘Elena, Iglika and Naiden,’ Annabel is married with two children, “Elena who is 16years of age and Naiden who is 13 years of age,” Christian is happily married with a daughter ‘iglika, who is 15 years,’ I named my daughter afte
I look through the glass window, Everyone looks really busy, I see Anna talking to a few people, my mum is giving a young lady an earful, My Dad and Ryan are talking to a few people, children are running around, I can’t believe this is real, I feel like my heart is going to explode from this much happiness, I am so grateful beyond words. “it’s about to begin, cover your veil,” Anna says as she rushes into the room,“I can’t believe my baby is getting married,” she says giving me a hug, a drop of tear making its way out of my eyes, “oh come on, enough with water works, we are stuck with each other forever,” “Come on ladies, you can’t leave a man standing at the altar,” My dad says as he walked in looking really chirpy. I can hear the music as I slowly walk into the wedding grounds, my eyes are fixated on the ground, I am a little nervous, as I walk beside my father, our arms interlocked with each other, I am dressed in a really long white, lacey long slee
“Catalina!!!! My princess, how are you? Oh darling,” she says to me embracing me in a tight hug as she lets out a light sob, “mum I am okay, I am really okay” My dad and Ryan walk up to me as they embrace me in a tight hug too, this felt nice, I really missed my family, we finally break apart and my dad notices Stiliyan, “Thank you so much, thank you, we really appreciate and I am entirely grateful t..,” “You must be Stiliyan, you look so young? Thank you for saving my daughter, we are forever indebted to you,” “It was no big deal, you are welcome,” Stiliyan says with a smile on his face, but I could tell he is uneasy, I could see guilt in his eyes, My brother walks up to Stiliyan giving him a handshake thanking him too, “It was not all me, my best friend here played a very important role,” Stiliyan says gesturing towards john, “This is your lawyer; we’ve seen each other at the business meeting, 
“Why are you so lost in your thoughts?” Stiliyan says, as he sat next to me, legs crossed, ‘damn this man is sexy’, I mentally say to myself,“I have no idea how badly they are going to take all of this, the news regarding the death of the heir to the Montero Empire should be everywhere, the airport is probably swamped with reporters, awaiting my arrival, I wonder how much they know?All this is going to be really difficult.Stiliyan, what are you going to do about all this, you might get arrested?” I say to him, revealing my biggest fear,“Catalina, no one except your family knows we are on our way to Manhattan, I made sure of that,and Christian killed himself to save you, the only name the Montero’s can link to his death is Diego, and this is without prove, it will merely be an accusation without evidence, all the while you were locked up your dad, Sebastian, called me various times, plea
In a flash of an eye, Stiliyan pulls out two guns, one pointed at John, the other pointed at Christian,“Diego, do not do this, John! Put down the gun! Don’t make me do this,”“Cata, I am willing to let you go if you never look back at Stiliyan, the moment you come in contact with my son, I would kill you,”“Take the deal Catalina, go home” Stiliyan says calmly, his eyes filled with so much sadness,“I will taste death willingly if that’s what it takes to love you,”I say to Stiliyan with so much love and also sadness,“Wrong answer Cata,”“Diego, let her go I’d come with you,” “Not good enough for me son, I want her gone” “Diego!!!! Don’t make me do this please! You are the only father I have left! I will come with you, put down the gun, please I beg you, do not hurt her” Stiliyan says to DiegoI close my eyes, accepting what is to come, I would miss my Anna, my mum, Ryan, dad, and most of all, I would miss ‘him’ I look at Stiliy
“This was not the deal!” Pablo yells,I am feeling extremely scared my palms are sweaty, my heart is beating uncontrollably, Christian looks extremely scared, sweat dripping from his forehead as he mumbles incoherent words due to the duct tape over his lips, his vein popping out of his neck,“Please I beg of you, don’t do this, we are extremely sorry about thirteen years ago,” Juliana says tears flowing helplessly from her eyes,“What the fuck!Son, did you hear that? She says she is sorry? You are sorry? Are you crazy? You killed people! You killed my friends!!You destroyed families to get to where you are,I ran away from Manhattan to avoid been killed by you, you killed my best friend, you stole my life! While you were seated on my throne, you had the perfect family, you were living it good! I struggled!I had to do unspeakable things to survive!” Diego roars in anger, I have never seen Diego this angry, no smile present,
