Catherine’s POV (Ten Years ago)“Say your last prayers Emma” I said with a frown as I watched Rajesh point the gun towards her. “Please don’t do this Catherine, you’re my best friend. Please let’s talk about this.” She begged teary eyed but I wasn’t moved by her fake pleas. She was my friend but she betrayed me. She took Eric away from me and I will never forgive her for that. “I considered you my best friend Emma but you betrayed me when you stole Eric from me and you know what’s worse is that you went along and bore him a child!” I shouted in anger.“I never stole him from you Catherine, he came to me! He liked me!” She explained but I knew she was lying. She’s had eyes for him ever since I introduced her to him. “Lies! All lies! This should’ve been my life Emma and you know it! Not yours! I should be the one wearing this expensive dress of yours and living the dream and not you. You never even wanted this life Emma, you always wanted a simple life so why the sudden change when E
FLASHBACK : TEN YEARS AGO Emma Barrington and Grayson were both watching television in the living room when the doorbell rang. It was raining heavily outside while thunder and lightning struck harshly outside. No one was at home except for Grayson and his mother. The doorbell rang continuously startling the both of them and waking them up from their sleep. They were both asleep together on the couch while an old movie played on the tv screen. “I wonder who’s at the door” Emma murmured as she wiped the sleep from her eyes.“Maybe it’s Dad” Grayson added happily “I don’t think so moonbeam, your father’s already gone on his business trip” she said reminding Grayson of when they both escorted him to the airport.“Douglas! Someone’s at the door!” Grayson shouted for the butler causing his mother to laugh in amusement.“Grayson, remember Douglas went with him on this trip” she reminded once more causing Grayson to laugh at his forgetfulness.“Oh yeah, sorry mum. I forgot” he replie
Juniper Feeling conscious with how Grayson wouldn’t stop staring at me, I busied myself on my phone as I waited for Jasmine to come around with Jackson when I felt his presence beside me. “I thought you said you would be too busy to come to my party” he said calmly causing me to turn to stare at him, his eyes drawing me in. “Jasmine convinced me to come” I answered curtly watching his lips curl up in a smirk at my curt attitude.“I see.” He added “Why’re you here?” I asked feeling very bothered by his presence trying hard not to inhale his cologne because he smelled really nice and so expensive.“Because I want to talk to you.” He replied causing me to turn to look at him sharply. He wanted to talk to me?.. Noticing my facial expression, he gave me a nod gesturing for me to follow him outside.“Come with me kitten” he said walking away as I followed him needing to hear what it was he wanted to say to me.We were both sitting on the grass in the courtyard at the back of the man
Juniper Jasmine sat down on my dressing table as I helped make her up for the party. “Juniper I think you should give Grayson a chance” she suddenly said. “Jasmine..” I groaned not really wanting to talk about this. “No seriously Juni, I was wrong for stereotyping him when I don’t even know anything about him” she accepted trying to convince me. “True but then you’re just saying all of this because he invited you to his party” I said giving her a look causing her to nod in agreement.. “Touché but then everyone has a backstory Juni and maybe grayson’s backstory is just really bad which made him cold, distant and sad that it became a personality for him.” She answered her logic making a bit of sense to me. “So you’re saying Grayson isn’t a bad person” i highlighted. “You’ve hung out with him a couple of times, do you think he’s a bad person?” She threw back giving me a deadpan look. “I mean.. no I don’t think he’s a bad person” I mumbled grudgingly as I watched her lip
Catherine My plans were in serious disarray and I hated it. My stupid husband first of all wakes up from his three day coma and suddenly starts bonding with his son. I made sure to fuel so much hatred between the two of them for five years and it worked like magic. They shouldn’t even be able to stand each other and recently they’ve been talking to each other like they love each other. It’s so obvious that they’re both planning something together and I have to be on my toes or else. Grabbing my phone out of my miu miu purse I hastily call Rajesh wondering what was taking him so long to meet up with me in our secret location. “Where the hell are you?!” I screamed out in frustration immediately he answered. “Relax baby, I’m right behind you” he said with a chuckle as he hanged up the call. Turning back I watched him walk towards me before getting to where I stood and giving me a kiss on the lips. “You’re late!” “I’m sorry baby, traffic.” He said with a playful expression
Juniper “Hi Jasmine” he said with a nod acknowledging her presence making me look at him in surprise that he knew her name. “Hi, we haven’t really seen you around school lately.” She said softly. “Yeah, I was just busy with some personal stuff” he answered politely. “Oh okay, welcome back though” she replied with a weak smile seeming nervous. “Thanks. Anyways I stopped by to talk to juniper and also invite you guys to the party I’m throwing at my house today” he continued with a blank expression on his face. “Wow really?” Both my friends asked in shock excitement suddenly no longer looking nervous at his presence. “Yeah. Promise you’ll be there kitten?” He asked with a smirk clearly enjoying me slightly fret. My friends eyes widened in shock at the pet name he called me as I tried not to look at them so as not to give them an explanation to why he called me that. “I’ll be busy tonight Grayson” I answered declining his offer. “Doing what?” “Homework” I lied. “I know yo
