Catherine's POV. 'Sleep Catherine, sleep!'I huffed at my restless self as I began to turn around the big bed again. I miss my kids though they're just in the next room sleeping soundly. I turned around again and again. It would be a matter of time before I'll scream my frustration out, this is becoming too much. "Why can't I fucking sleep, why?" I mused to myself as I took a sitting position on my bed, my head resting on the headboard. ‘Cause you're thinking about him again and again, just go to him, all this will be over and maybe you'll get the kiss you couldn't get last time, I know you want that kiss badly, huh?’ "Just shut up!" I huffed at that ridiculous voice in my head and crawled out of bed and took the baby monitor with me.Maybe the monitor is damaged, Leo should have started crying by now, he usually wakes up around two or three in the morning and it's already past three. I opened the door as lightly as I could and stepped outside. There were no shoes on my feet becau
Catherine's POV. "Hey, Bella," I called one of the servants walking hastily towards the kitchen. "Yes miss, do you need anything?" She asked as she separated herself from the rows of servants moving into the kitchen. "No, I don't need anything, I actually want to ask about Master Lucas, do you know where he is? I've been looking for him for a while but I can't find him." I conveyed and she smiled at me."Master is in his study room, just go upstairs, take the left wing, and you'll see a room with the tag of...""Oh, I get it, thank you, I know the place," I said with a knowing smile and Bella returned my smile before she left. I took in a deep breath before I began to head towards the elevator but changed my mind midway. I'll take the stairs. I'll be a little bit calm and composed if I take the stairs. "Stairs it is." I mused to myself, veered around, and began to skip up the long stairs, as I was about to finish climbing up, my steps decreased and my heart began to hammer agains
Catherine's POV. Lucas' breath fanned my neck and all my cells suddenly became more conscious of him, my body screamed for his closeness, for his touch, for his mouth... For every part of him but he didn't offer any, I just felt his heavy breath. I couldn't move for fear of what would happen, my hold on the couch deepened and my fingers began to hurt badly. "Lu.. Lucas..." I whispered his name and inhaled sharply, his scent filling me and I can't help but wish that something else of his should fill me like that. I just want him, I don't care about logic or anything, I want this man to touch me."Are you alright, red hair?" He whispered into my ear and I reacted by holding the couch harder. If I'm not careful, I'm gonna have broken nails or I might end up tearing the leather off the couch."I'm... I'm... Oh, Lord... Please..." I stuttered, unable to think straight like a normal human being. I felt cornered with nowhere to run, even if there was anywhere to run to, I was not running!
"How are you feeling now?" He asked as he progressed towards me, his eyes fixed on me and every jerky movement I made. "I...I'm, I think I'm..." I stuttered, breathing heavily, I suddenly felt exposed and I was quick to pull my dress down, my heart beating so fast I thought it would leap out of my mouth. "I'm sorry." He said gently, taking a seat on the chair beside me and God was I not surprised.What's he sorry for?I should be apologizing for using him in a very inappropriate way... What was I thinking?!We stared at each other for the fewest seconds before he ripped his eyes away from me. He looked towards my bedside table, extended his long arm, took the baby's bottle filled with water, and extended it to me, "Here, take this, you'll be fine." He muttered and I cleaned the beads of sweat on my forehead before taking the water bottle from him. With eyes still on him, my heart increasingly beat by the second, I began fumbling with the bottle cover, my whole body was shaking and
Catherine's POV. Some weeks later. "Why's everyone so busy?" I mused the question to myself as I stepped out of the elevator, skimming around. The servants were everywhere, holding one thing or the other, the house looked beautiful too. Not like it wasn't beautiful before but it looks exquisite now because of the decorations. "Mmmmm... What an aroma." I murmured as I perceived the smell of the delicious food that was coming from the kitchen. My stomach grumbled and I yawned, I had just woken up from a nap and I was starving so bad, extremely bad. Taking in a deep breath of the beautiful aromatic scent, I began to head towards the kitchen, nodding to the hasty greetings of the servants passing by. I'll have asked them what's up but they'll not be able to give me the accurate answer that Bella would give me. Bella would definitely be in the kitchen, she's one of the major cooks around here. My stomach let out an angry roar because of the scent my nose was perceiving and I hastene
Catherine's POV. "You look beautiful, Cathy." Bella praised my looks as the girls finished with their job. Lucas had insisted that they help me dress, it was weird because I've not been treated like this before, it felt very odd sitting idly while someone just decks you up. It's odd but feels good."Thank you, Bella." I mused, unable to think straight, I'm yet to see myself in the mirror and that alone was getting me worried, it was an unnecessary anxiety but I couldn't help it. "You're all set miss, do you need anything else?" One of the girls asked, looking at me with a smile and I returned the smile nervously. "No, thank you all so much for helping," I muttered and they both gave me a light nod before they walked out of the room. "You really look beautiful Cathy, I always knew you were a goddess." Bella complimented again and I sighed as I gave her a weary smile, this woman had no idea the kind of chaos running in my head right now. "Are you alright, milady?" She asked calm
Catherine's POV. "Catherine, where are you from?" A female voice asked and I frowned.Why can't everyone just eat their fucking dinner and get out?!I looked up from my food in the direction of the woman that just asked me a question and I gave her a forceful smile before replying, "I'm from a small town in Italy." I have no idea where I am from, I don't know my family, I stayed with a woman who claimed to be my aunt and I ran away from her when she wanted to turn me into a s.ex slave."That's interesting, I never knew the Leonard's family was from Italy." She said, her eyes still fixed on me and I guess she was still expecting an answer so I decided to give her one.With a soft chuckle, I muttered, "Well, now you know."I heard a soft chuckle from someone though I don't know who but I think the woman found my reply rude because her expression turned ugly but I couldn't care less as I went back to playing with my food.I could see Lauren's angry stare from the corner of my eyes and
Catherine's POV. I let the tears that had blinded me fall as I neared my room... I felt ridiculous, worthless, and unwanted. Well, I was always unwanted but today seems so obvious and real, all those secure walls I've built around myself came crashing down in shattered pieces as the hot tears cascaded down my cheeks. I opened my door and banged it shut angrily, the shoes were beginning to hurt my toes so I kicked them off and they flung in different directions, "I should... I shouldn't have gone there, I shouldn't have." I sobbed and fell on the floor with a soft thud, raised my legs, and rested my chest on them as I began to cry hard again."Fvck you, Lauren, fvck you for everything you used your stupid mouth to say about me...you..." I inhaled sharply and let out a raspy breath, "You're... You're a pathetic loser." I wailed hard and my chest felt compressed the more, utter devastation pulsed through my veins because the pain I was in was slowly consuming and making me sick. The so
