LOGINChapter 90 stm “Why are you both looking at me like this”? Caterina asked after she tried to ignore their stares but they both didn’t say a word. They were silent and weird since they had left the auction later that night and Caterina had no idea what she had done. She had recalled every event and her conversations in her mind, as well as she could, but still she could come up with nothing to justify their silent gazes. She gulped; maybe she had done something terrible. Maybe she shouldn’t have stepped up to face the woman and should have waited until Hugo or Luca found it suitable. Maybe the woman was worth something in their line of business. Her mind was chaotic in between what ifs and may be scenarios and she was so lost in thoughts that she didn’t realize they had reached home. Luca stepped out of the car first and waited until all five cars of their security details entered the basement parking. He took a brief report from them and in
Chapter 89 stm Caterina was talking to Hugo and Luca on their table as the guests were given time to discuss and decide and then tally their orders with the staff standing at their tables. The auction was just in the final phase and Caterina was relaxed a bit now that she had food in her stomach and there was no pressure on her bladder. “Look, Hugo Martino has a new lap dog. I wonder if he is keeping her exclusive or will throw her it to his bodyguard after he is done with her”. Hugo and Luca went instantly stiff by her side and Caterina felt a hot rage pouring down her veins. “I don’t think he will change his track record. He will get bored of her and then his pet dog will get his fill and then she will flaunt her bags all over the social
Chapter 88 stm The night proceeded with a formal welcoming speech from Hugo and then the display begun. Caterina was sitting in her seat with Luca on guard near her. He would sometimes sit with her, discussing a few details with her but he was mostly busy on the walkie – talkie. He would take a round in the hall, chat with a few people and then take a full circle back to Caterina, making sure she was hydrated and had something to eat. Hugo just stayed a few minutes with her; he was mostly busy with the display and making introductions with potential business partners. Caterina was so proud of them, even if a slight taken back, she could admire the numbers going on the screen. She counted them un
Chapter 87 stm “Wow, a limousine”. Caterina slid in the car and exclaimed in astonishment. Luca chuckled at her excitement and tapped the security divider. “Mr. Giovanni. Ms. Giovanni Martino”. The chauffer greeted them both professionally. “To the venue, Arthur”. Luca said in a commanding tone and pressed the button for the security divider to go up, providing them privacy. They waited for a while until the security detail took lead and the driver accelerated the car once he got a signal from all of them. Luca was wearing an earpiece himself. Though he trusted his men from ages, still it was Caterina’s security at risk and he could not take a chance. “Are you
Chapter 86 stm “Who the fuck even invented these tuxedos and bow ties”? Hugo was grumbling while tying the bow tie and it was happening since the last two hours. He had worn the suit and he was looking so unhappy and distressed that Caterina had to make sure he wasn’t angry or something. “Technically, who opted for tux at the first place”? Hugo pulled the bow tie again to adjust it and this time Caterina couldn’t stop a giggle that escaped her lips. Her stylist looked at her through the mirror to reprimand her softly about her hair-do but Caterina couldn’t stop herself from laughing out loud. Luca looked at her from his phone and he bit his lips to stop his own smile but Hugo was looking so tempting and handsome while pouting like a little child, complaining to his mom about everything that Luca couldn’t help himself too. “Seriously, both of you are making fun of me”? Hugo stood in the center of the room, hands on his hips like a petulant c
Chapter 85 stm It wasn’t the first time of Caterina shopping with Hugo or Luca but it was the occasion that made it special. It was so far the third boutique and Hugo was constantly rejecting every single gown for her to wear on the day of Auction, but that didn’t mean the bags on Luca’s arm were getting any lesser. While they would agree to disagree on every item displayed and showcased for her, they would surely buy dresses for future use although Caterina politely, irritatingly and then angrily told them that she would outgrow her size with the course of her pregnancy but were they listening? No. “This is the last store I am visiting and then I am going home. I am hungry and tired now”. She whined as Luca steered the car to another mall just around the corner. Hugo looked at her and felt a bit guilty. He knew he was being unreasonable but he had to make sure that Caterina looked every bit unique and one in a billion as she was meant to be.
Chapter 11 stm “Did you go to college?” Hugo asked as they were enjoying ice cream while the TV was playing in the background. “No. I had just finished the high school”. She replied in a low tone. “You wanted to attend college.” Hugo didn't ask. It was clear from her expressions. “Yes. I did. I
Chapter 14 stmCaterina felt her heart was empty. She had not left her bedroom for three days. She would eat whatever the staff would bring to her and close the door again. Hugo was watching it all. He didn't know how to deal with her. He could tackle an angry, furious, laughing, joyful even scar
Chapter 10 stmHugo had to take complete rest for at least two weeks before he was cleared to work. In that week if there was someone who had to really test their patience, it was Caterina. She had to bear all the mood swings of her boss aka Hugo. Sometimes he was so calm and relaxed, friendly if
Chapter 7 stm Hugo was busy these days. Caterina had not seen him for over a week or maybe she missed his presence. He had turned into a ghost. Caterina would do her work as per routine but since he wouldn't come home, her work load was far less and that would give her plenty of time to think abo
