CATALINA

After our little “reconciliation”, I finally had the most awkward breakfast I had ever in my 26 years. The entire atmosphere was filled with silence and heavy tension as we ate in silence. No one even bothered to look up from their plates even once, except me who kept watching the scene with amusement and subtle eye rolls.

I knew I shouldn't have gone easy on them.

Henrietta, Dorothy and Madeline sat opposite us, along with her little minions pretending we didn't exist. Unlike yesterday when they all chatted like I didn't exist, they kept their mouths shut this time. I guessed it had something to do with the motion of not pissing me off so I don't rat them out to Theodore's grandmother, Victoria.

On that note, I snuck a little peek at the old woman seated at the head of the table. If Victoria knew anything about the situation that transpired this morning, she gave nothing away but instead, she continued to eat with grace and poise.

    CATALINA“Now, do you have something to tell me?”Hearing his words, I paused halfway with one of my hands holding a nail polish and the other holding an ice cream bucket. After we retreated to our bedroom, Theodore went straight to shower, leaving me all alone for hours. I wasn't sure if this was his way of giving me the silent treatment for giving his mother a hard time, so I went down to get myself some ice cream. When he finally came out to wear his clothes, I took the liberty to admire his firm-looking ass and took a spoonful of ice cream to maintain my good mood. “What do you want to know?” I asked him. Theodore tossed away the wet towel he used to dry his hair on the chair nearby before he returned to bed. His eyebrows scrunched slightly at the sight of the ice cream, but he didn't say anything about it. Instead, he kept his eyes on me. His eyebrows twitched a little, a clear sign that he was trying his best to ignore the thing and have a decent conversation with me. “I wa

  • The Billionaire's Redemption Game    Seeking For Justice.

    CATALINAThe members of the Knight family were really something else. When I demanded an apology from Henrietta and Dorothy, they simply fell silent and stared at me like I had uttered something forbidden. The mere thought of taking accountability for their mistakes seemed to be a foreign concept, and it was fucking ridiculous. “You're kidding, right?” Dorothy let out a nervous chuckle after she shared a look with my mother-in-law. “I'm the victim here. And you want me to apologize?”I gave her a look that betrayed my thoughts. Did I look like I gave a flying fuck about her earrings now?I arched an eyebrow. “Did I mispronounce those English words wrongly?” The women shared another look with each other, leaving me feeling more indignant than before. They clearly had no problems accusing me of doing stealing their precious jewelry and insulting me, but now they couldn't even tell me sorry?Henrietta's eyes landed on her son before she turned her face away. Just I was about to repea

    THEODORE“Wait!”We turned our heads to see Madeline walking towards the door, looking flushed and slightly out of breath. Before she could step inside, a guard swiftly intercepted her with an arm outstretched. “I’m sorry, ma’am,” he said firmly, “only family members are permitted inside.”Madeline froze. Her face drained of color, and her lips parted slightly in disbelief. Even though she had not yet married my uncle, Liam, she had been treated like one of us since we were dating. The fact that she had been reminded of the cold, hard truth about her status was suddenly too much for her to bear.Fortunately, my mother immediately came to the rescue. She closed the distance between them to comfort her. “But Madeline is part of our family,” she said. “I want her to watch the video with us, Theo. Can she do that?”Everyone's eyes turned to me.Great. Trust my mother to leave all the hard decisions to me.I should’ve agreed immediately. Showing Madeline I still cared—that had been my mi

  • The Billionaire's Redemption Game    Proving Her Innocence.

    THEODORE I couldn't believe I said it. When I saw Catalina arguing with my mother and aunt, an uncomfortable feeling across in my chest. And for the first time since we met, it was not directed at her. At first, I wanted to scold her for daring to talk to the elders of the family like that. But something in her eyes betrayed her emotions when my mother insulted Chyna. Anger. Hurt. Disgust. It was like she couldn't fathom the reason behind my mother's reckless words. I knew it had connected with her past, but it was very rare to see someone who was ready to fight for others. Even when it wasn't certain that the action would be reciprocated. Before I could stop myself, I was moving. My legs carried me toward her stiff, shaking frame, and my arms found their way around her waist, pulling her close without a second thought. She stiffened for a moment, startled, but then I breathed her scent, the tension that had been clawing at my chest slowly began to ease.A sharp cry escaped Ma

At this point, I didn't even bother to hold back anymore since it was clear they didn't intend to give me face. Somewhere in the back of my mind, a voice of reason wondered if I was being dramatic. The truth? At this point, I knew I was being overdramatic. But not unreasonable.One of the terms stated in the contract I signed was the promise to always keep the room under lock and key when I wasn't around. Theodore didn't tell me the exact reason but I guessed it had something to do with his family members. Now, my suspicions were raised more than ever. Tiffany finally blinked out of her stupor and turned sharply to Henrietta, whose face twisted in disbelief. “Did you hear that?” she hissed, pointing a perfectly manicured nail at me. “She just insulted you in front of everyone. You can't let that slide.”I rolled my eyes so hard it almost hurt.Madeline and her little lapdog didn’t have
