Catherine's POV."OMG sweetheart, you look like a divine being," Natty complimented me immediately after I stepped out of the dressing room. "Those baubles you are wearing must be worth a small fortune, babe, they match your beautiful blue eyes," she added, her eyes holding this excited gleam that made me smile as I walked towards her."A large fortune, actually," I murmured a reply, moving my hand over the ornate sapphire and diamond necklace at my throat. "These 'baubles' are top-grade Kashmir sapphire.""Let me make a guess, a present from Daddy, huh?" She asked, and I just shook my head and turned to look at myself in the mirror. I looked almost unrecognizable; it felt as though an entirely new Catherine was staring right back at me.The beautiful red designer dress was exclusively made for me, and I looked like a princess. A real-life princess and Lucas made all this possible. For the first time in my life, I sat down and someone did almost everything for me while dressing up; my
Catherine's POV. "Chill baby, you should keep it cool, and we'll be fine. I'll stay by your side through it all, alright?" He assured me as he led me out of the room, my hand entwined tightly around his.I nodded, grateful for his comforting words and the reassuring squeeze of his hand. "Alright," I replied, drawing strength from his presence as we walked."Are the kids okay?" I couldn't help but ask, my worry creeping in despite Lucas's reassurances."They're fast asleep, sweetheart. You need to stop stressing about everything and just breathe. You've got this," he replied, his voice a soothing balm to my disorganized nerves.His words were like a lifeline, grounding me in the present moment and reminding me that I wasn't alone in all these.I felt a mixture of emotions swirling within me: excitement, nerves, and a hint of fear. This party marked a significant milestone for me, the first time I would be thrust into the spotlight, surrounded by powerful individuals and scrutinizing e
Catherine's POV."What the fuck is wrong with you?! How could you do something so stupid?! Did you see the rubbish your action caused? Look at the news, Lauren, fucking look at the newspaper!" Lucas suddenly roared as he slapped the newspaper on the table, pacing. I could see that he was trying to control his anger."Chill, Dad. It can't be that bad," Lauren said casually, and I sighed lightly. Lauren way the most insane human I've ever seen. "You appeared out of nowhere and decided to do something dramatic! How did I birth a son like you?" Lucas huffed, running his fingers through his hair as he brought out his phone.Lauren relaxed in his chair, seemingly unaffected by his father's rage. "Relax, Dad. It's not the end of the world," he said with a careless shrug, his tone dripping with nonchalance.I shot him a dagger look before turning to look at the furious Lucas. I was equally nervous about the whole situation. After what happened at the party last night, I knew the media would
Catherine's POV. "I hate that boy, he's so fucking immature, I wish I had kicked him when I had the chance!" Natasha huffed as we sat in the cafeteria but I just signed, trying to think straight and make sense of the new development in my life. She was still fuming over what Lauren did and any time she saw something relating to it on social media, her anger would renew. "What's the plan to deal with that animal in human clothing? It's seriously getting on my nerves, in every possible way," she exclaimed, her frustration evident in her tone. I let out a heavy sigh, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on me. "I'm trying to figure it out, Nat," I replied, my mind racing to find a solution to the latest twist in my already complicated life.I'm in a mess and I know it but how to roll out of the mess was hard. Lucas was furious and he was trying hard to control himself. I see that in him and I've tried all I can to calm him down but Lauren was not making things easy. He
Catherine's POV. I stood up, frozen in disbelief, Natasha's voice broke through my stunned silence. "What... What the hell does he think he's doing?" she asked and that was the exact question swirling in my mind. I tried to respond, but words failed me. All I could do was watch as Lauren approached, surrounded by a group of people bearing gifts of all kinds; ranging from bouquets of flowers, gift boxes, cakes and the most surprising one; a beautiful flower statue that was created to look just like me. My eyes were drawn to Lauren, dressed impeccably in a tuxedo, his demeanor exuding confidence and charm. Despite my shock, I couldn't deny his cuteness, though it paled in comparison to Lucas. Lucas, with his strength, built, maturity, and the way his deep blue eyes always stirred something within me. Lauren was nothing like him, and the sight of him filled me with a mix of disgust and curiosity.. "Hello my beautiful beauty." Lauren said proudly as he halted his procession in front of
Lucas's POV. As I watched Catherine hurriedly make her way towards me, my heart clenched with a mixture of worry and anger. The sight of Lauren, my own son, attempting to woo Catherine back after all the pain he had caused her, ignited a fire within me that threatened to consume everything in its path. I wanna deal with him but I'm holding back because of her and her kids. I don't want to cause any drama in her life, she's just climbing the Hall of Fame and I won't do anything to disrupt her goals. "Red," I called out as she reached me, her eyes darting nervously toward the car parked nearby. "Are you alright?"She nodded, but I could see the lies in her eyes. She was in confusion and I wish I could sort out everything but Lauren is an idiot, a very idiotic human who would do anything to satisfy his male ego. As we got into the car, I couldn't shake the feeling of anger bubbling in me. How dare Lauren show his face here after all this time? How dare he think a few apologies and gr
As we pulled into the compound, Lucas's breath was ragged, and his cum was deep inside my system, the taste still lingering on my tongue as I shot him a mischievous grin that only seemed to widen his smile."You little devil, you're something else, seriously!" He gasped between breaths, his chest heaving, but I couldn't help but chuckle in response.I never knew it would be so fun to torture him. I had sucked him so badly. Whenever he was about to cum, I'd decrease my movement, and gosh! His groan of frustration was such a turn-on for me. I finally decided to grant him release just as we approached our home's gate."How are you feeling, daddy?" I asked, the devilish smirk never leaving my lips as he ran his fingers through his hair, his hand then finding its way to my chin, tilting it up to meet his gaze. Leaning close, he lightly bit my lip, his touch sending a shiver down my spine."I swear, I'm going to ravage you for teasing me like that. What if I had lost control of the car?!" H
Anna's POV"And what about me, you idiot?!" I snapped, my anger boiling over at Lauren's audacity. How dare he spout such nonsense after he came here to do the contrary of what he told me?!"Anna, it's good to have you here, dear," Catherine greeted me with a smile that grated on my nerves. How could she smile as if everything was fine? She was the root cause of all this nonsense, and yet she acted as if she had done nothing wrong. I couldn't stand it. I just can't stand her anymore. I hate her so much I don't even know how to express my hatred for her.She might have achieved whatever she wanted, but I refused to sit idly by and let her steal my man. Lauren belonged to me; he was my future husband, and I wouldn't allow anyone, especially her, to take him away from me."Welcome Anna, how was your trip?" My formidable father-in-law-to-be asked, and I turned and gave him the best smile I could muster despite the raging storm inside me."It was great sir, good evening." I mumbled like a
