Catherine’s POvI looked down at my hands on the floor with a glare mixed with annoyance, a throbbing pain appearing as my ass hit the floor hard.Vanessa!That woman really doesn't know herself. I stared at her fiercely, my hands clenched tightly, my chest full of rumbling and heat radiating through my body as it burned with emotion. My breathing was ragged. I felt like I was going crazy with rage. I quickly got up from the cold floor. I wasn't going to let go."I will kill you, Vanessa!" I shouted, lunging towards her, but again, she caught me. "I'll kill the baby in your womb!"Our eyes met. She was staring calmly. She can't be that calm! She is fighting me. I am Catherine. That woman should feel humiliated and low if she meets my eyes."Are you talking about the baby you're carrying?" She smiled. That crazy woman smiling in front of me? That crazy bitch. "You should take a good look at yourself. I just pushed you really hard, but look what happened to you."What did she mean?Vane
Vanessa's pov."Why, why can't you throw him out!" She snapped at the two officers loudly. "She's just a lowly bitch. She doesn't belong here. I don't want to be in a hospital with a slut like her, so get her out of here immediately!"I looked at her reluctantly. Who was she calling a cheap woman? When she had been the one to show how lowly she was in front of people.She kept shouting in front of the crowd. Was she trying to emphasise that she was a shameless woman? So pathetic.What was Jaxon thinking about having an affair with this kind of person? He thought so much about people's views and really disliked his partner doing something that embarrassed him. But apparently, his taste was worse than that."What are you waiting for?!" Cathrine's voice screeched again. Every time she screamed, the veins in her neck appeared to tighten. She made me uneasy every time I saw her. "If you can't do it, let me do it, move aside." Catherine stepped forward to approach me, but the two men who we
Catherine’s POVWhat the hell is going on?I stared at the situation in confusion. Why was the hospital director greeting her kindly while she ignored me?I was sure that Vanessa was a loser. Anne used to talk about Vanessa's background as nothing. She told me that Vanessa was just a country girl with no parents.She was a poor girl who had nothing and brought nothing with her when she married Jaxon. Anne hated her so much because it was like she was living with them, and that's why I was so accepted by Anne at first, of course, because I was richer and better-looking than her.I had the status of a rich person. My appearance was luxurious, so she could boast about me to her relatives and friends, unlike Vanessa, who was an embarrassment to her. But what happened?Why was the woman who was looked down upon and belittled suddenly treated like a conglomerate in some luxurious place?That day at the big supermarket, she was also treated like a big shot, and today, she was also treated be
Catherine’s POVWhat Alena said did sound interesting. But how to make that scenario actually happen?Bringing Vanessa to put her in that situation is not an easy thing. Fishing for her also required something that could really get her interested, while I didn't know her very well.I didn't know what she was interested in and what she usually did. Even the stories about her from Anne and Jaxon never talked about her life in detail. So, where to start to get her into the trap?I settled Alena, who settled towards me with a smile on her lips and eyes. "But how? Do you have a plan?" I placed my fingers tapping on the surface of the table.Alena smiled serenely. She turned her eyes to stare at her lattice cup. "We can think of a way later. Preparing something hastily will hurt us." She turned her gaze to me. "So you don't have to rush around trying to figure out how to ruin it. The idea will come to us on its own." She rubbed my shoulder lightly."Right." Grace nodded. Grace's eyes looked
Jaxon’s POVIf I think about it, what Catherine said was the right thing. For a moment, I forgot what kind of influence Catherine had because my work wasn't going well enough.Right now, I did get a job at one of the companies owned by Catherine's father. But this is not a great thing, not something to be so proud of.I'm still in a reasonably low position and not very influential. Maybe it's because I still haven't made it big."In that case, I must make the most of this situation. While Catherine is eager for marriage, then I must make it happen soon so that what will be hers will be mine immediately." I wiggled my legs, swinging in my chair.Inside my office, I swiveled my chair cheerfully. My mood was really good at the moment. It was because of Cathrine.Somehow, I thought marrying her this time would bring me a lot of luck. Because Catherine is a rich woman, but she doesn't know anything about work. She only knows how to play and have fun.I can make her enjoy that period for qu
Andreas’ POv"What is Vanessa doing right now?" I took my eyes off the glass wall of my room, staring at the phone screen in my hand.There didn't seem to be enough reason to call her since we were meeting this morning at home as usual. But I missed her voice. I wanted to see her and be with her.I clucked with a chuckle. "It's like Vanessa made me have an acute illness because of her." I wiped my face with my hand, fixing my eyes to stare at the figure I was addicted to.I had more than one picture of Vanessa that I had secretly taken without her knowing. This wasn't some weird tendency or sexual habit that she could misunderstand.The photos I took and kept in my gallery were of Vanessa's expressions and cute antics. Whenever I see that expression on her face, I always want to capture it.Vanessa rarely shows much expression when facing something. But without realizing it, in her daily life, she makes many different expressions when she is alone, and it is adorable."She's so pretty
Andreas' POV"Must you keep us waiting like this?" Jeremy grimaced at me as he turned around on the barstool, and then his eyes met mine.I smiled briefly at him, came over and patted his shoulder, then sat down next to him. "It's too crowded." I reasoned.This afternoon, they contacted me and asked to meet at a bar owned by one of my old friends. They said they wanted to get together since they hadn't seen each other in a while and talk.I don't know how long it's been since I've spent time with them. Some of them, like Jeremy, are friends from school, and the other two are friends who know each other.Thomas, on the other end, snorted. I saw his eyes glance at me briefly. He seemed to know that my excuse was a lie. Because he also came late several times when asked to gather. "Next time, we need to make an appointment from the beginning of the month to meet him so that he prepares a fixed schedule."I looked down, laughing, staring at the martini James had just poured into my glass.
Vanessa's POVThe smell of alcohol was strong on Andreas' breath. He looked at me with a smile and a small giggle and leaned against my shoulder."Andreas!" I growled in annoyance at the weight of his body leaning against me. "Get up, Andreas! You need to go up to your room." I tapped Andreas on the shoulder and tried to rouse him.But despite my efforts to wake him up, it seemed my efforts were in vain. Andreas didn't open his eyes even though he made a small mumble.I took a deep breath, realizing I was in trouble with that tall, muscle-bound body. "Or do I just leave him here until tomorrow?" I looked sarcastically at Andreas.The air was cold enough to hurt his body if I put him on the tiles. I didn't have the heart to just leave him there, though I wished I could be a little less cautious and leave him there.I fixed him position with a heavy sigh because it felt like I was training at the gym after a long time. "Alright, I'll help you up. But just this once, I'll let you be if th
