로그인Nico:I froze in my spot after hearing Catherine and her friend talking about the truth…The truth that turned my whole world upside down. The fact that Catherine was carrying my baby…I smiled, an overwhelming feeling rushed through me the moment I heard I was going to have a baby…And it was from the woman I wanted!My grip tightened around the knob, I wanted to go in there and propose…What if she rejected me? I shook off the stupid ideas…She wouldn’t reject me once she found out I had just ended things with Ellen, because she was a lying bitch, and because I only agreed to marrying her because I didn’t want my baby to grow away from me.I was about to turn the knob and open the door separating me from her. I felt like my whole happiness was behind that door.Until I heard Catherine say her opinion about telling me the truth…“I don’t want my baby to become like him…Like his father…” I frowned, listening to her sobs from my spot.She was crying?Is that why she lied? Is that why sh
Nico:“How did she get in?” I said over the phone after I got outside the office, giving Catherine and her friend some space.I was surprised to see a text from Malcolm saying that my mother was in, and she wanted to talk.“The Belini’s let her in” my grip tightened around the phone.That wasn’t the perfect time! But I knew my mother well enough to say that she’d make a scene if I didn’t meet her.“Is it urgent?” I asked.Malcolm didn’t answer instantly, as if he really asked her my question.“She says it is” I hung up on him, cursing under my breath and heading down to the library.I was shocked too when I heard Malcolm say it, but since my mother and I don’t get along, I thought it was the best place to talk.I pushed the door open and walked in.My eyes saw her sitting on a chair, checking an old book.Once she saw me, she closed the book calmly, then placed it on the table.“What’s so urgent that you decided to meet me…” My eyes scanned the library that seemed dusty, and old.My m
Catherine:“You did this!” I heard Ellen say, her finger pointed at me.All eyes were staring at me, making me feel like I was all of a sudden naked before them.I looked at the only person who I had hoped from all of my heart that he didn’t think I did this.Nico frowned, staring at me, just like everyone else.I swallowed then shook my head at him, my eyes pleading him to believe me this time.“Enough!” Nico all of a sudden said, his voice echoing in the room, making every one looking at him in fear.Nico motioned for me to follow him. So, I ended up following him.But we weren’t alone, Ellen and Emilia followed us all the way to her office.“I can’t believe this is happening!” Emilia burst out the moment we stepped inside her office.“Some guests are already leaving!” She added, staring from her window.Nico rolled his eyes. “You think I care about some stupid guests?” He stared down at his phone, as if he was waiting for an urgent call.“She did this! She can’t stand us being toge
Catherine: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 Catherine
Nico:Another hour had passed and we still couldn’t find her…I clenched my jaw, hands tightening on the wheel. “Why did you let her leave? And you call yourself a friend?” I spat, eyes fixed on the road, but I could see the surprised look on her face.“You know what? This isn’t the right time to b
Catherine:I had no idea why it never crossed my mind to ask the owner to give me the key to my apartment, since I lost mine.I walked inside the building, and headed directly toward Bob’s apartment. After I knocked, it took him only several seconds to open up.“Hey, Bob,” I smiled. It was kind of
Catherine:He was the last person I thought I’d see, his eyes were staring down at me with much anger and frustration. I looked back inside the apartment then back at him, still shocked, confused, and surprised…His lips parted, and he was about to talk, but I beat him to it.“What are you do
Nico:“What do you mean you can’t find her?” I gritted my teeth, my useless, stupid men told me they couldn’t find her anywhere! “We don’t even know if that’s her real name, we don’t even know what she looks like…” Vox said, but I shot him one deadly glare, making him wish he hadn't opened his mou
