She couldn't believe her eyes, her aunt Jessica covered her face with the duvet, and without a word Catherine walked out leaving them.
Catherine immediately sunk down in her room as tears rolled down her eyelids as she wiped them off. She couldn't help but think about why her dad would act that way, not caring less in any way.
What boiled her heart most was Jessica, instead of supporting her sister she is betraying her.
"Hope my sister doesn't do this to me." She muttered, sneezing and wiping off the tears rolling from her eyes.
"When will Lisa be back from lectures today? I really need someone to talk to now. I am so depressed, God please make this pain go away." She closed her eyes and tried to sleep but she could not find sleep.
She stands up and walks around the house. She halts at the living room and sinks on the bed. Her thoughts wandered to where she could go or whom she would call but her brain was cloudy.
She immediately looks up when she sees footsteps, she sees Jessica standing there at the entrance looking at her and her hands folded as if in a plea.
Catherine's face flushed red as she saw Jessica coming closer to her without a word. She felt like raining abuses on Jessica but on the condition that she didn't want to say something crazy even if she had the right to.
Jessica is just six years older than Catherine and she respects her and takes her like her older sister but here she was looking all like a devil to her.
Devil with invisible horns.
"How could you?" Catherine said in her head as Jessica took a step close to her and sat a few inches away from her.
Jessica's face masked fear as she opened her mouth to talk.
"Umm uh Catherine, I am really sorry about what you saw and what happened. I am really sorry...I am deeply sorry" She placed her hands softly on Catherine's hands but Catherine lifted it up and placed it on the couch without a word.
Jessica continues to talk, stuttering and maintaining eye contact with Catherine." Um, can..can you do me a favor and not tell your mom please?" She got down on her knees but Catherine averted her face standing up she walked away from her.
" Please I am sorry" she pleaded and Catherine halted, turning to face Jessica.
"Oh really? Is that so? I shouldn't tell my mom. Then why do what you did? Sleeping with her husband? Your sister's husband for goodness sake."
The door creaked open and Natasha stepped in grabbing the whole scene with surprise on her face. Jessica quickly got up from the floor as she saw her and tried to adjust herself and act like nothing happened.
"What's going on here? Why were you on your knees, Jessica?" She asked, taking slow steps to her.
Without waiting for Jessica's response "Catherine, why did you get home so quickly? Do you have night shifts today? Or?" Natasha dropped her bags down on the couch.
"No, I lost my job." Catherine sighed and took a deep breath.
"Oh my God, what happened?" Natasha worriedly asked. Just then, Catherine's phone rings.
She looked at the screen of her phone and the caller ID showed "the nurse". This was the nurse she asked to check up on her mother for her. She immediately clicked on the answer button on the phone.
"Your attention is really needed at the hospital now and don't forget to bring some cash along with you." The nurse spoke as if in a hurry and immediately ended the call.
Catherine's mind flew, "It's mom, an emergency" She yelled and ran into her room to grab her purse. Without changing to wear a proper outfit she runs out of the house.
Thirty minutes later, Catherine arrived at the hospital. As she comes down from the vehicle, she runs quickly Into her mom's wards to attend to her but a nurse stops her from entering.
"What is it? Why are you not letting me in? I want to see my Mom!!" Catherine screamed at the top of her voice as tears rolled down her eyes.
"Calm down!! Everything is in control, she just needs rest and would be perfectly fine." The nurse responded in a calm tone but Catherine did not agree with what she was told. She still continues to scream and finally, they let her in.
As she stepped in, her mom's eyes were faint and she could not even speak up. Her mother, Mrs Carolina lifts up her hand slowly but Catherine puts it down and tells her not to talk.
Carolina continued to force herself to talk while she coughed and her breaths were getting higher. " The doctor said I need a transplant," She coughed and forced herself to smile.
"How's my husband? Your father" Carolina asked.
Catherine's heart clenched tightly as flashbacks of her father and Jessica on the bed replayed on her face.
"Do I tell her what happened? I'm so pained right now. How could she?" The voices in her head interacted.
She smiled at her beautiful mom on the bed. "He is living his life," Catherine replied.
"I hope you are taking good care of your sister, I really want to see her right now," Her mom said in a lower tone and coughed again.
"You'd see her when you get home Mom?" Catherine responded, fighting back the tears in her eyes as she continuously blinked.
She wanted to ask how much it would cost for a heart transplant but the money for the transplant would be almost a million dollars.
She also knew that if she told her mom about what had just happened at home, she would be putting her mom's health in a terrible condition.
Mrs Carolina in a faint voice said "I love you, my daughter and your sister too. Make sure nothing separates you both."
Catherine's heart starts beating fast, she can feel a new fear setting in. Carolina starts coughing uncontrollably and Catherine runs to get the nurse.
As the nurse tries to put everything in the right condition for Carolina. The machine showed that her lifeline was depressing.
Carolina holds her mom's hand, her mother smiles at her and takes her last heavy breath.
"Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!" Catherine screamed, grabbing her mom tightly in a hug as tears rolled down her eyes"Please don't leave me, Mom" She looked at her face, dazzling with beauty and a faint smile, Catherine could not believe that her mom was no more.An hour later, the door was forced open and her Dad, Jessica, and Natasha rushed into the ward. Natasha's eyes were already red and her face swollen. "What happened to my mom?'' Natasha asked, running into her mom's embrace."Oh no!!" Jessica said and sobbed covering her face as if in a cry and Catherine turned and looked at her with a disgusting expression on her face.Her dad just paced around the room, without a single word or tear dropping from his eye.As the room echoed with screams from Natashia and Catherine, the same screams transcended to the cemetery where her mom's body lay.Everyone present at the burial site wore black clothes and Jessica stood far from the crowd, crying.When it was time for each family member to put
"Thank you, sir" Chloe received the huge sum of money from Travis and returned to Catherine's position and Catherine quickly left her stand, adjusting her trousers as she moved away.She grabs her bag and follows him behind. When they got to the spot where the car was parked, Catherine could not help but see herself as a fictional character."This is not real, damn!!" She said in her head and smiling in her heart and it almost exposed in her face.The vehicle she saw there was a Porsche and when Travis got closer to the vehicle, someone came out of the driver's seat and opened the door for Travis to get in."Wow, wake me from my dream please Natasha," She said under her breath."Open the door for her" Travis commanded in an iced tone.The man opened the door and she got into it but a greater fear enveloped her to see the bulky man who came up earlier in the passenger seat she was to stay at. "What if there were organ harvesters?" She asked herself."Oh God, help me, please… I just wa
They all came out of the car while only Travis and Catherine went ahead. "Boss, your mom is calling" The guy who sat at the back with Catherine ran ahead stopping Travis as he turned to face him while Catherine watched him talk."Tell her to chill down a bit, I will be there soon,"Travis replied unbothered and moved away from him and Catherine followed behind. Inside the nail salon, Catherine sat down to wait for her turn to be attended to when Travis walked up to the woman in charge."I want her to me attended to." He pointed towards Catherine. "Fast delivery, would be charged an extra five hundred dollars but she still has to wait for this person I am attending to." The woman replied and continued with the hair she was rolling."Look here, I'd double it." Travis replied in a cold voice but the woman declined "No".It was no hard thing to leave the salon to another place but since they were in a hurry, Travis had to auction.I'd triple it" He said to her and she lifted up her head a
Catherine sat down at the back of the vehicle, while Travis drove and his fingers traveled through the lady's lap. "What a magnificent sight to behold," Catherine said in her head. Travis dropped the lady in front of a big gate and they shared a peck again while Catherine watched them, because why shouldn't she? The eyes are to view.Thoughts ran through her head as she wondered why he was contracting her as his wife and not the lady who sat with him. "Hope I am not signing my death warrant because this is getting crazy!!, oh take off the thought girl. It's the money we are talking about"As the lady went out of the car, the air in the room became hot, Travis played music as he increased the volume to the highest which cold blast of one's eardrum.While he was driving, his phone pinged and the caller ID showed " Bigie Twin" and he immediately picked it up."Hey big bro, what's up man?" Travis answered smiling widely and the caller responded" Mummy said you are late, with whatever. S
As Travis and Catharine followed Mrs. Carolyn inside the house to settle down. A tall fair lady climbed down slowly from the staircase and Travis and Catherine raised their heads up to see who that was."This must be the girl my mom said she kept for me. "Travis said in his head and Mrs Carolyn got up walking towards the lady who appeared, introducing her to Travis."Hi "She waved at him and he waved back with a smile."Chloe, meet my son I told you about" Mrs Carolyn pointed to his direction."Hi," Chloe said again, stretching her hands towards Travis for a handshake. "Nice to meet you" Her smile disappeared instantly as Travis did not bring out his hands either. Travis folded his hand and coldly replied" Nice to meet you too Chloe" and immediately stood up."Mom, I need to rest, it's been a long day, Mom" Travis took Catherine's hand as she stood up too.The look on Mrs. Carolyn's face spat anger as she tried to control her tone "Okay... I thought you would stay longer here with us
The following morning, when Catherine wakes up from her sleep. She woke up to see the maid walk into the room with a cup of coffee and some toasted bread.As she cleaned her eyes and felt the softness of the bed she laid, she remembered she was not in her house but in a billionaire house."Good morning Mrs Catherine" The fair maiden greeted her as she set the tray on the stool beside her. "Good morning dear"Catherine yawned as she replied removing the duvet from her body."The master said I should bring this to you," The maid said with a smile on her face and Catherine answered "Oh thank you dear"Stepping down from the bed, the maid asked"Is there anything you want to do ma? Is there anything I can help you with?" "No nothing really, how about Travis?"Catherine asked"Oh he is at the dining table with his mom and Chloe" The maid answers as curiosity steps in."What are they doing please?" Catherine asked again"They are having breakfast, the boss says you are not feeling too strong
"What?" The word escaped from Catherine's lips. She couldn't believe her ears as Travis sank on the bed."Don't worry, you are safe like I said. If you had read properly, I mean the contract. You would see that there's no sexual duty for you to obey."Catherine took a deep breath as she heard that, she had already started being afraid for her life partially. It would be a win win if she gets in her safe arms."hmm" She didn't know what to say so she lay down on the bed. Travis spoke up immediately, "Don't worry about your sister, I can book the flight for her to come over. We won't stay here for long""That would be really much appreciated but she is currently schooling, so I'll call her to know if she's busy!" Catherine innocently spoke. "There's no problem, I'll be going outside now even though I don't want to see those faces that are out there." He said and walked aimlessly around the room until his phone rang." Hello, mum!" He responded with a look of frustration on his face. "I
The electric gate opened and the Lamborghini vehicle drove into the building and parked at the car parking spot.The driver, Mr Hugh comes out of his vehicle and slams the door shut, he turns to the other side of the vehicle and opens the vehicle. Mr Vikram steps out and the driver adjusts his collar before he leaves, walking majestically into the building.As he steps into the building, staff panic and two men rush toward him, taking his suitcase and trying to make him comfortable. As he walked in, anyone he walked close to paused and bowed to him."Welcome sir, Welcome sir " Voices echoed as he walked in their midst. His aura evokes fear and coordination among everyone in the company.Everyone there was shocked to see him as he came unannounced. Vikram is the CEO of Kramvis House. The largest company in the country. As he steps into his office, the secretary immediately rushes, following him, and hurriedly wipes his seat before he sits down on it.Slouching on his chair, he looked

Catherine's spirit left her soul for a split second. It seemed the world was against her and she prayed it was a dream or he was Joking.But no, Vikram doesn't joke. " Ex ex ..Excuse me…Sir?" Without looking up at her, he retorts " You heard me right, you are fired. Tell the accountant to arrange your payments for you then leave. I never want to set my eyes on you anymore."Tears glistened in her eyes as she fought as hard as she could to hold the tears back from dropping."Please leave," He said again, smirking when he looked up to see her still standing there. She takes her turn and leaves the office and goes straight to the accountant to get her money."You mean the boss fired you? Oh no, I'm so sorry Catherine" The accountant sympathized with her and she quickly took the dollar notes from her hand rushing away so that her tears would not drop.She hated being pitied or sympathized because it sounded like mockery to her. Without saying a word to any of her office colleagues she
