Chapter 17
Catherine Ashton
After meeting with his friends, Jacob took me to a jewelry shop. He told me that we have to buy an engagement ring because there's an important dinner between businessmen and women in Toronto.
I've always thought that one day I will get engaged in a most romantic way but I guess I won't now. Instead of getting a romantic proposal, I'm buying my own ring at the store. It broke my heart actually and I don't even want to go inside to pick my own ring.
Crystal and Tatiana were married to the love of their lives, I asked them about it earlier and I can't help but feeling jealous. I mean Tatiana was forced into the marriage but she ended up falling for him. I mean I think I'm so unlucky when it comes to life.
"You okay?" Jacob asked and I looked at him c

Catherine Ashton"Catherine? Are you awake?" I heard Jacob asking me through the door."Yeah. Come in." I said and he walked inside."It's so dark." He commented but I ignored him. It's almost midnight and he just got home from the dinner with his grandpa. I turned on the lights beside the bed and I can see him still wearing his suit. He sat beside the bed and looked at me."How are you feeling?" He asked."A little better." I said."You were crying huh?" I was speechless, how did he know? He took the ring from the table beside the bed and he looked at it."Can you tell me why?" He asked in an unreadable tone.

Jacob WilliamI looked at the ring that I gave her yesterday and still don't get it why she was so sad about it. Did I say something? Is the ring not beautiful enough? I mean I know we shared a night last night but I still want to know."Your grandpa said that.. you have to go to the office later on at 3 to attend meetings." I turned to Catherine who's currently walking towards me."Okay." I said and she sat next to me. We both are currently sitting at the edge of the swimming pool with our legs dipped inside the water. I gave her the ring and she took it from me. She slipped it to her ring finger."Do you want to tell me why you cried last night?""I just want to be happy, is it a crime to just be happy?" She said as she l

Jacob said and I got out from my room, ran downstairs quickly. I saw Jacob parking his car and I walked out."Hey, how's the meeting?" I asked."It was great, here.." He threw me the car key and he walked inside. I got into the car and started it. As I'm waiting for him, I decided to just go into my social m

Jacob William"Why are you here.. in the middle of the night?" I turned to see Catherine holding her cup before she sat beside me putting her legs into the pool too."I can't sleep." I wasn't lying, there's a lot going on inside my head."The wedding?""Yeah and some work." I nodded as I looked up to the sky. The moon shined brightly tonight and it made me a little calm for some reasons."You can tell me if you have something in mind." I turned to her and she smiled nodding as she raised her cup a little. I turned back looking at the pool with the reflection of the moon on it."I'm fine, I just can't sleep.""I'm a little bit curious, how di

Catherine Ashton"Which one do you like the best?" I asked Jacob."I like the chocolate one and the red velvet one." He said as he pointed the two cakes with the fork. I nodded and I looked at the cakes in front of me, completely confused which one to decide because everything is so good."How about you?" Jacob asked me."I like the chocolate and this one." I said as I pointed at the vanilla cake."We can mix the two if you want." I turned to Melinda who's in charge to help us with the cake tasting."Really? Well.. what do you think?" I turned to Jacob and he nodded."Please don't make it too sweet though.. The chocolate one is a little bit

Tim Ashton"I told you that Jacob will never back out from this marriage, he's too attach to Catherine now." I said confidently and Joseph laughed from the other side."You're right and you know what? They often have a sleep over at each other's room." He said making me smile evilly as I took my cup of coffee."Catherine has a soft heart, I kept faking my sickness everytime we missed her and this time.. she won't back out." I said and I sipped my coffee slowly."She finished picking the invitation and we're almost there, Tim." Joe said and I can't help but nodding even though he can't see."We need to take a step further, Joe." I said as I put down my cup of coffee."What is that?"

Jacob WilliamsAs soon as I landed in Los Angeles, I went straight to her house. Her grandfather greeted me right away when I arrived even though it's late at night. I borrowed my other friend's jet to go to LA."Jacob, what brings you here?" Tim asked."I had a meeting earlier and I thought why not go visit Catherine. I hope you don't mind." I smiled politely and he patted my back nodding."Of course.. I mean you're going to be a part of our family so you can come here anytime you like." He said."Thankyou.. is Catherine home? She doesn't answer my calls.""Oh.. she just got home and she's so drunk." He said and I checked the time. It's almost midnight.

Jacob Williams"Good morning, Jacob." Tim patted my back as he sat on the chair beside me with his tea."Good morning, Tim." I smiled to him and he looked down to my hand."What's wrong with the ring? Is it too big?" He asked."Nope, Catherine took it off and put it on the table beside her bed. I'm just admiring it." I said as I leaned my body completely to the chair."If you think that she's trying to back off, she won't." Tim said and I turned to him. He's smiling at me as he picks up his cup of tea."You can't blame us for thinking about it, Tim. I'm sorry for being so straight forward but.. this is an arranged marriage and we both don't love each other." I said and he chuckled n
