He had no idea what pushed him to run out, but he succumbed to it, which was really stupid..

As he walked down the streets, memories of Catherina filled his head. Her betrayal got to him and he won't move on anytime soon.

“Hey, man. Watch it…”

Anthony looked up, he had bumped into someone unintentionally.

“I’m so sorry.” He apologized, stepping to the side so the guy could pass.

“Hold up, I know you. Anthony!!” The guy beamed in joy, shaking Anthony by the hand.

Anthony was still disoriented, so it took a moment for him to recognize who it was.

“Oh my goodness, Leo!” Anthony said, finally recognizing who it was, an old classmate of his.

“I’m hurt you didn't recognize me at first glance, what were you thinking about, man!” Leo said, engaging Anthony in a bone crushing hug.

“I’m sorry, man. Just got a lot on my mind this days.” Anthony replied as they disengaged.

“The rich also cry, huh” Leo stated, staring at his friend.

“That’s it, man. What are you doing here? I thought yo

    “One advice, don’t believe anything they tell you, especially if it's about Catherina”Anthony sighed “fine, it won’t be easy though. I’ve been apart from her for a long. Although I didn't stop loving her, can you believe she hasn't texted nor sent any letters. It’s kind of hard to still trust her after that. I got her a phone before I left, okay fine no cell service; my mail works. It’s hard, Leo and i’m so confused right now. What if it’s not as it seems and my mom is actually not trying to separate both of us?” he paused, then continued “I don't want to offend my mom and later on she wasn't even the bad guy. It’s crazy to be me, really” he muttered, palming his forehead. “Well um… just do what you think is right. Because at this rate, it’s confusing and to know who is actually telling the truth and who is lying won't be easy, you have to go back to London and my guess is, it’s not time yet.” Leo said. “Yea.” Anthony nodded. “Sorry, talking about me took most of our time.

    He sighed out, turning on the phone and the first place he went to was his call logs. His eyes went wide when he saw the last person that called himCatherina called. She's never called, why would she call today of all days and why would Natasha answer it and then proceed to hide my phone away.Anthony sent his hand to his hair, baffled by the occurrence happening around him.Why would Natasha hide his phone and made him think he lost it.Anthony stared at the call logs again, the urge to hear Catherina's voice so strong it was so hard to resist.Getting on his feet, he walked to the kitchen, maybe another late night drink would help calm his brain. Anthony took a bottle of champagne that he hard stored and walked back to the sitting room. He didn't want the stress that came with pouring it into a cup so he drank straight from the bottle.The champagne had already started dulling his brain and making him a little dizzy before he tapped the call back button.

    "Ouch! Are you blind?" Anthony snapped as he grabbed Catherina's arm and pulled her back by the hair, making her stumble and almost fall.“Who the fuck are you?”Catherina winced in pain but looked up at him with a mixture of surprise and anger in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you there," she mumbled, trying to keep her composure despite the pain.“You are sorry? Do you know how much that shoe costs, let alone the feet that are inside it? I am Anthony Moyes, a billionaire by birth. I could pay your way out of this school!”Hearing that, Catherina lowered her head, “I am deeply sorry, Master Anthony. I have no excuse, I'm sorry.”Anthony's expression softened slightly as he realized the pain he had caused her. He saw her cranial veins visible and she went pale around her hair. But still, he chose not to break. “Watch out next time.”Catherina touched the spot where he had pulled her hair and turned as she began to walk away.Anthony had financial power, even though, when he steppe

  • Love Clash   Chapter 2 : My Visit to Anthony’s home

    I sat in the living room of the apartment that Anthony had gotten for us and whispered a “thank you” for his presence.He did as he had promised - cleared the debts and got us a new apartment. Today, he sent a box and I stared endlessly before I opened it.Staring at the red gown and silvery accessories that Anthony had sent me. Could this be happening? Just three days ago, my life was a mess and now everything had changed. I quickly opened the box and read the note – “Get dressed, pick you up by 4 pm." I looked at the clock and realized I only had an hour to get ready.Rushing to my room, I quickly put on the gorgeous gown, slipped into the silvery shoes, and added the accessories.When I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but smile. I felt beautiful, confident, and excited about whatever Anthony had planned for us.As I stood in front of the mirror, admiring myself, I heard a car honk outside. I looked out the window and saw Anthony standing by his car, looking as hands

    “She is not a nobody, Mother,” Anthony said.I appreciated the fact that he chose to talk for me and at the same time, I wasn’t okay with it as I don’t know where the argument would lead. I was clear that I was not welcomed and I should get going.“I see,” Mrs Moyes said.Just as Anthony was about to sit, his phone rang and he ended the call abruptly. “We are from the same school,” Anthony said.He was trying to leverage, to tell his mother that I was from the same Medical school but he hid the part that confirmed my identity as a sponsor of the community. Again his phone rang.“You can go and answer your call. Let me catch up with Catherina,” Mrs Moyes said and Anthony signaled to me that he would be back soon.I would rather he stayed behind, but I couldn’t help it.As Mrs Moyes sipped her tea, I felt the tension in the room thickening by the minute. I knew she had something important to say, but I had no idea what it could be. The other woman, whose name I didn't even know, chuckl

    The café was bustling with the sound of chatter and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air.As Anthony ordered their drinks and snacks, Catherina couldn't help but consider the recent happenings that made her heart heavy. She could barely see that light said to always be at the end of the tunnel. All she could see was an end to her relationship with Anthony.It had kicked off so early that she planned, then, just like that, it was going down the hill as she hadn't planned either. All she had to do was look into his face and wait for what he had determined to do.The order came, and she took a sip of her coffee and set her eyes on him. All he did was stare back too."I promise to love you with all that I am, to cherish you for the rest of my days," Anthony whispered, his voice filled with emotion. "You are the light in my life, the one who brings me joy and peace. I want to spend every moment with you, my dear Catherina." Catherina felt her heart swell with emotion

    Natasha stood at the arrival gate in the bustling Russian airport, a bright smile on her face as she waited for Anthony to emerge from the crowd of travelers.Finally, she spotted him and waved excitedly, causing him to break into a grin as he made his way towards her."Anthony!" Natasha exclaimed, throwing her arms around him in a warm hug. Anthony was slightly taken aback, expecting a simple handshake, but he quickly hugged her back, feeling grateful for her warm welcome."It's so great to see you, Natasha," Anthony said as they pulled away from the embrace. "Thank you for receiving me.""You know I wouldn't miss it for the world," Natasha replied with a smile. "How was your journey? Are you feeling okay?""It was a bit long, but I'm good," Anthony answered. "I'm just excited to finally be here."Natasha linked her arm with his as they walked towards the exit. "And I'm excited to have you here. Oh, and don't worry about your apartment. It will be ready in three days.""Oh, why not?”

    I walked alone in the lobby and I saw the Circle of 8 before me. I felt the weight of their stares as I was about to pass them. They were a group of bullies whom I had a history with before they were paid off by Anthony to protect me, but since he had traveled, they seemed to revel in taunting me.As I walked past them, I could hear their snide remarks and hurtful comments."Look at her, all alone. Where's your Superman now, Catherina?" one of them jeered, causing the others to laugh cruelly."Yeah, he used you and dumped you. You were just a plaything to him," another added, with a smirk on his face.Tears welled up in my eyes as I tried to ignore their words, but they cut deep into my heart. How could they be so cruel? I had thought I was safe with Anthony by my side, but now it seemed like I was just a joke to everyone since he was gone.He had been gone for a day and now all this drama had ensued. How long will this last? How long before he calls and helps me deal with them?"Pat

    As they sat in the eatery, surrounded by the comforting embrace of Russian cuisine and the gentle melody of music, Anthony realized that perhaps, amid his heartache, he had found a glimmer of light in the form of a kind and compassionate soul named Natasha.“Thank you for today, Natasha,” Anthony said just as the waiter came over to pack their dishes. “What for?” Natasha asked, smiling, feigning ignorance.“For the company, for the advice and most of all, for being here. I don't think I'll be able to move past Catherina's betrayal without you” he said. “It’s nothing, Anthony. Women these days tend to move on when they feel like they can’t fulfill their wants, you also don't have to blame her. She did what she thought was right.” Natasha said. Anthony remained silent, watching the woman in front of with intensity. There was something about her that didn't feel right, there was also something about her that felt right. Everything felt confusing and he had no idea what to do or believ

    Natasha carefully dug into Anthony's bag, feeling a rush of excitement as she found his phone tucked away inside.She quickly turned it on and browsed through his contacts, her heart skipping a beat when she came across the name saved as "MINE." With a sly smile on her face, Natasha dialed the number and waited anxiously for someone to pick up. After a few rings, a sweet voice answered on the other end, "Baby?”“Who the hell is your baby?" Natasha's eyes narrowed as she replied confidently, "Anthony is mine, and there is nothing you can do about it."Confusion laced Catherina's voice as she questioned, "Who are you?""I am Natasha," she declared, her tone dripping with possessiveness. "And soon, I and Anthony will be getting married. You are nothing compared to me, and he will never call you again."Catherina chuckled softly, disbelief evident in her voice. "Oh, honey, you have no idea who you're dealing with. Anthony and I have a history that you could never understand."Natasha's g

    Natasha carefully cut out the page from Anthony’s diary where he had written down Catherina's phone number. She knew that Antony had been talking to Catherina a lot lately, and she didn't want her boyfriend to have any contact with another girl.The next day, Antony and Natasha walked through the school halls together. Antony looked nervous as it was his first day at a new school. Natasha smiled reassuringly at him and said, "Don't worry, I'll show you around and introduce you to everyone."As they walked, Natasha pointed out the different classrooms and explained where everything was. Antony was grateful for her guidance and felt more at ease. Suddenly, she spotted a beautiful mural on the wall and said, "Wow, that's amazing! I want to take a picture of it."Anthony nodded and handed her his phone. Natasha quickly snapped a few photos and then turned off the phone and kept the phone in the secret part of her bag. “Where is the phone?” Anthony asked. "Oh no," she exclaimed, "the pho

    Anthony's heart raced as he hurried over to where Natasha lay on the floor. He could see the pain in her eyes as he reached out a hand to help her up. As he knelt down beside her, he could hear her whimpering softly. "Are you okay, Natasha?" Anthony asked, his voice filled with concern. Natasha looked up at him with tear-filled eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry, Anthony. I was rushing to the kitchen to prepare your meal and I tripped." Anthony’s heart sank as he realized that she had been trying to do something nice for him, only to end up hurt. He reached out to her, gently helping her to her feet. "It's okay, Natasha. Let me help you," Anthony said softly, as he slowly guided her towards the bedroom. Close to the bedroom, down she went and sat on the floor. “My ankle,” she screamed and held her ankle in her hand.“Are you okay?” Anthony asked with a worried look.“Carry me, Anthony!” she asked.As she requested, he hoisted her up in the air, and she wrapped her hands around his ne
