Chapter 43 stm“Where are we going?” Caterina asked Hugo as he bypassed the road to their penthouse. “Would you like to go to a long drive with me?” Hugo asked her in a hesitant tone. “Don't you think it's too late to ask? I mean it's clear that you have already decided”. Caterina said, leaning in her seat. “No, I can turn around if this is what you want?” Hugo slowed down his car, looking at her. “No. I am okay going on a long drive with you”. She said simply, turning to see the night running through the window of the car. “Is it easy to go along Luca than me?” She was actually confused at this question from him. He wasn't looking at her but the grip of his hands on the steering wheel was saying otherwise. “Sir Luca is like a friend to me. Nothing else”. “And me?” He couldn't help but ask. He didn't know why he wanted a confirmation or assurance. “What about you? You are in no comparison with sir Luca. You are the man who, I don't know, kidnapped me or rescued me. You gave m
Chapter 42 stm.Hugo woke up late in the morning. He instantly regretted as he sat up quickly in the bed and held his head with both hands. He had a high tolerance level for alcohol but last night he underestimated the vodka he consumed with Luca and even after he left. He wanted to persue Caterina again but how? He knew he had spread so much lie around himself that it would be hard for her to believe him. But it was worth a try right? He took a shower to get fresh and after ages, he wore her favorite black pants and caramel colored shirt. He rolled up the sleeves to his elbow and smiled inwardly, remembering how she would gaze at his arms whenever he would roll up his shirt sleeves. He brushed his hair back into a messy bun just like she liked and once he was satisfied with his looks, he confidently stride outside to greet her, or in other words, trying to woo her. “Whoa… someone looking hot eh”. He smirked looking at Anita who was having a toast, sitting on the kitchen stool.
Chapter 41 stmHugo was dumbfounded for a moment, holding an unconsious Caterina in his arms. He didn't know what to do. He was looking at her pale face and those eyebags that just got visivlble under her beautiful eyes. “Caterina… hey… open your eyes please”. He patted her cheeks gently but to no use. He picked her up and took her to his bedroom that was cold without her. He filled a glass of water and sprinkled some water on her face. She stirred a bit, letting out a little sound. “Hey Rina. Come back to me … open your eyes”. Hugo was begging at this moment. He sighed in relief to see her eyes fluttering for a moment and then she saw him hovering over her. “Thank God. What happened to you? You are overtiring yourself and not eating properly. Right? I knew it. You forget everything when you have to wo….”. He was cut short when she placed her hand on his lips. Without saying a word she sat up with the bedhead and just then she realized she was in his bedroom. “What are you doing
Chapter 40 stm “It's really late. You should go to home now. I think we have lots of time until tomorrow evening”. Luca stood up from the stool he had occupied for the last hour. “No I think it's all done. I would just need to refresh once before serving and it's good to go”. Caterina wiped her hands on her apron, looking at everything with a satisfactory smile. “Great. We should leave then”. Luca helped Caterina lock the cafe and she walked with him to the parking lot and startled to see Hugo leaning with his car. Her brows furrowed in confusion because Hugo was not coming to her cafe to pick and drop her anymore. “Seems like you two having a good time that explains why you didn't bother to text me about you being late”. Hugo said in a low voice, making her shiver. “I.. uh …. I didn't ask sir Luca to stay with him. He insisted …..”. “He insisted and you let him. Wow. Nice huh. I didn't know my second in command could be so helpful. Did you help her tasting every flavor of food
Chapter 39 stm Caterina had just finished making breakfast when she saw Hugo emerging from his bedroom. Her face lit up for a while but it faded as soon as she saw Anita following behind. She was wearing a camisole and shorts that leave nothing to her imagination. She felt a pang of jealousy in her heart. Anita was indeed a gorgeous girl. She pasted the most fake smile on her face as she dished out the breakfast on the table. “Morning Master, Ma’am. The breakfast is ready. I have made breakfast as you asked for. Please have a seat and excuse me, I will be in the kitchen f you need me.” She didn't stop and turned to go to the kitchen as quickly as possible. Hugo wanted to stop hr and ask her to join him on the table as per their routine but she didn't wait.He rubbed his chest slightly to difuse the congestion and his gesture didn't go unnotice by Luca who just entered the living room. “Ohh, you have started breakfast without me and no one even invited me. Caterinaaaaa.” He shout
Chapter 38 stmHugo was lying in his bed, reading a book when he heard a knock at his door and the door opened to Caterina standing, nervous and confused.“You called for me, Master.” She camed inside his bedroom once he nodded his head.“Yes I called for you. I need you to massage my lower back and legs.” Hugo ordered her and laid down on his stomach, revealing muscles to her.The back she had touched and licked so many times, and not to mention her nail scratches that she had put in the moments of ecstasy. She blushed at the thought and memories. “What? You don't want to do?” He asked lifting up his head a bit.“Nno… no. Let me grab the oils.” She stuttered a bit before goign to the bathroom to grab the essential oils Hugo had placed.She took a deep breath of his soap and shampoo still lingering in the damp air. His towel was placed on the floor that she could not help but pick up and take a long sniff to inhale the smell in her system.Her eyes flooded to think about the moments
