LOGINCatherine:I couldn’t sleep the whole night…I was tired, heartbroken and hopeless.I didn't have to look in the mirror to know my eyes were swollen from crying all night. I had a quick shower then wrapped myself in the towel before I started wearing my makeup.Emilia told me that she was keeping a surprise for me. I had no idea what that surprise was. I was just hoping she wouldn’t surprise me like the last time and make me wear some alien costume.I sighed, staring at my puffy eyes. It was very obvious that I spent the whole night crying.Nico was back to Ellen, and tonight was the night he made it official.I took a deep breath, but suddenly heard sudden footsteps in my room.Before I get to step outside the bathroom to see who it was, I was surprised that no one was there.I frowned when I saw a big box on my bed.“Oh…” I walked toward my bed and opened the box to see a red dress inside with red sandals.I was surprised to be honest, maybe because I thought that Emilia didn’t hav
Catherine:I watched him storming outside the room.I placed my hand over my chest. My heart was bleeding as I watched the pain in his eyes.This time, I broke down, falling on my knees, crying my heart out.For the first time in my life, I was lost and confused. Not wanting what I wanted was something new to me.I had planned for my whole life since the day I escaped from my father.I thought I wanted a simple life, a simple house. No complications, just the ordinary family you see on TV in the nineties.But then, I met Nico…He turned my whole world upside down. The moment he stood so close to me, asking me to look at him. I felt as if my whole emotions were naked in front of him.It felt like he wanted me just as much as I wanted him.I wasn’t strong anymore, I was vulnerable and naive.I was confused because he was still confused as well.He didn’t know what he wanted. He still couldn’t believe me, and yet he defended me all of a sudden…Why?I stared at the painting, not believi
Nico:I watched Catherine holding her brush then placing it back for the hundredth time this morning.She looked annoyed and emotional.She didn’t even look into my eyes while she kept drawing on that painting.“Aren’t you supposed to look at me while you’re doing your…art” I said, holding back my laughter once I saw the annoyed look on her face.“Well, there aren’t too many details anyway” Her words made me clench my jaw out of frustration.She did not just say that!“Plus, I have a good memory…Your face is the only thing I saw for months” She added, this time staring at me.“It’s the dream of a lot of girls,” I said with a smirk.“Wow” She mouthed, rolling her eyes then staring back at the painting.I clenched my fists. That’s it! I said to myself.I couldn’t let her mock me anymore!I stood from my chair, making her look up at me.Before I got to say anything, the door swung open. I watched Emilia and Ellen walking inside the room, both of them shooting cold stares toward Catherin
Catherine:I could barely move my feet in his direction.What if he heard our conversation? What if he knew the truth? That I was pregnant with his baby.I continued to shoot him the same confused look, but then he approached me silently, making my heart race even faster.He then all of a sudden narrowed his eyes at me. “What did you want to talk about?” He asked.I gulped, a bit disappointed that he didn’t hear us. Part of me really wanted him to know.“I…okay…” I let out a deep breath, staring down then staring back at him.“There’s something you should know,” I started.Nico motioned for me to continue.I didn’t know it was so hard for me to tell him something like this. Maybe because I was afraid that he’d be heartbroken once he found out that Ellen was lying to him all this time?“Ellen is not pregnant” I said very fast like ripping off a bandage.Nico stood right there, his eyes wide open from the shock.He currently didn’t see that coming.“What?” He asked, taking a few steps t
Catherine:As soon as I knocked on the door, I heard Ellen yelling and breaking things inside her room.Was she crazy? I started to think that the woman had some big serious issues.After a few seconds, I saw the door opening.I wasn’t going to apologize, I was here because I wanted to tell Nico everything. I was sure he was going to believe me.“What is it?” Nico stepped out of the room, a pissed look on his face.“We need to talk” Nico narrowed, and wasn't expecting to hear this.“Ellen needs me now, she’s sick” He answered.I frowned, “What? No, we need to talk, it’s important!” I protested, but he sighed.“Okay, but not now…” He then turned his head to look back inside the room when Ellen called out his name.He then glanced at me for one last time before he closed the door.I let out a deep breath then headed down to the kitchen.As soon as I entered the kitchen, I watched Jolio and Bella having a serious conversation. As soon as they saw me, they stopped talking.Jolio then igno
Catherine:I rewatched the video for the fourth time.Ellen pressed the phone to her ear, biting her nails waiting for whoever to answer her.“No, I don’t have weeks to wait,” she snapped, pacing in front of the desk. "I need it as soon as possible."She paused, listening."Yes, It has to look real—feel real. I don't care how much it costs."That’s the part where it suddenly turned out weird, the moment she said her next words…"I'm already pretending to be three months pregnant!” She hissed when she heard my footsteps.“I gotta go!” She groaned then hung up.I was still in my same spot, holding my phone, my hands shaking as I continued to stare at my phone screen..“Pretending to be three months pregnant?” I asked myself.What did she mean by pretending? Was she pretending to be pregnant?I swallowed hard. If she wasn’t pregnant then why…I paused the moment I heard the door swing open.I watched Ellen stepping inside, the minute she saw my face, she noticed something was off.“What
Nico:“I don’t get it…” Ellen’s eyes were filled with tears, getting tired of my rejections.“I’m literally asking you to take me back, but you…” Her trembling voice made me look away from her eyes.“Don’t you dare look away Nick!” I didn’t even think about it, I simply ignored her as I continued
Catherine:I was sitting in my room peacefully until he stormed in.I jumped out of my bed, surprised by his actions.What was he doing in here?“Nico?” I took a few steps toward him.The lights were off, but I could see he was a mess…His clothes, his hair, and he smelled like a mini bar…My eyes w
Nico:Something was going on between them, I was one thousand percent sure, especially when I heard his stupid joke!She had no idea what that brat was doing, but I knew all his tricks, because he used to get them from me!I clenched my fists, and gritted my teeth as soon as I turned my back on the
Nico:“She’s my prisoner” I shot Marcos one last glare before I stepped inside the mansion.Ever since I found out that Catherine was my enemy’s daughter, I’ve been trying so hard not to show any emotions.It shattered every last trace of trust I had in her. It was impossible that she didn’t know w
