As Catherine sat on the bed, she kept thinking about how unkind William and Vanessa, his girlfriend, were to her. In addition to being angry with William, she was also very upset with herself. She was extremely resentful, especially since Vanessa had made her feel uncomfortable in her own home.The thought suddenly occurred to Catherine: "Why can't I do whatever I want since William is allowed to? He's the one who's free to have a girlfriend, he's free to leave the mansion whenever he pleases, he's free to hang around with people he chooses to hang out with, so why is it different in my case!'Immediately, she heard the door open, and when she turned to see who it was, she saw it was William. He entered, gave her a fierce look, and left to the wardrobe to change his clothes.Catherine mustered the bravery to approach William and express her feelings. He was in the closet taking off his clothes when she approached him. Looking over his shoulder, he s

Catherine tried her possible best to pretend she didn't know William was coming straight there. She made sure to hide the fact that she was scared to her gut and afraid of what William's reaction to her actions would be. She had to quickly think of a lie."I live here." Her voice was shaky as she spoke."So you didn't think it was important to inform me first before coming here Catherine?" William asked with one brow up as he approached Catherine. He narrowed his eyes at her and felt offended that she could have at least seeked permission first but didn't and went ahead to do what she pleases without his permission."Did anybody see you on your way here?" William asked in a whisper.Catherine grew confused by his question, "I don't understand, what are you talking about?""I mean paparazzi people Catherine!" His eyes grew wide as he spoke to her. "They are the people you should always be looking out for before you think of playi

The drive home was as awkward as one could imagine, although it was not as Catherine expected. She thought William would say a whole lot of mean things to her, she thought he would get the hint that she said something to her mother to convince her to stop her father from signing the papers.Although, something didn't seem right, it was either the latter or, her father actually signed the papers, since william wasn't saying anything. She was so confused but she hoped her thoughts were wrong.When they finally got home, without saying anything to each other, William got out of the car and slammed the door aggressively, leaving Catherine, Jorge and the driver to get behind .

Catherine heard him loud and clear, but a lot of thoughts were running through her mind at that time, she was too pissed off, afraid, and upset to even say anything to him so she blatantly ignored him and as she approached the cabinet.William, capped his jar of milk with his gaze still on Catherine, "so you're deaf now?" He questioned but he still didn't get a response from her.Catherine quietly stretched her hand to the top cabinet but unfortunately, it was too high and she couldn't reach. She struggled to reach it by even standing on her tippy toes but unfortunately, she still failed to reach.William leaned against the counter and brought his glass to his face sipping his milk slowly as he watched her struggle to reach the cabinet. He knew that in that particular cabinet, the first aid kit was in store. His eyes then began to travel around Catherine's body in search for any injuries that would need first aid treatment. The only reason why she would be struggling to reach that c

*Beep Beep… Beep beep*Catherine groaned at the sound of her ringing alarm, she stretched her arm to reach the side stool where the alarm clock was aggressively vibrating on. "Ugh!" She groaned again in annoyance as she angrily slammed the alarm clock off.She groaned again as she covered herself with the duvet and closed her sleepy eyes shut and then suddenly, when she got comfortable, she heard the sound of a loud car horn. Following the blaring sound of a car horn, she heard the sound of a couple other cars wheeling into the mansion.Immediately, it occured to her that Mr and Mrs Bentley were to return today and that most definitely must be them. "shit! Shit! Shit!" She cursed quietly as she instantly jumped off the bed. Mr and Mrs Bentley are not supposed to find out that she had been sleeping in the guest room all through their trip.She rushed to the bathroom and gathered all her toiletries. She held them on her chest and laid them on the table so she could easily pick them up

"William, please, you already broke my elbow and you hurt my wrist, I'm asking you nicely now, let go off me."William glared at her and exhaled sharply Before letting go of her arm. "We're already running late, hurry up." William said and stepped out. As he descended the stairs, the memory of when he hurt Catherine's wrist played in his head and he wasn't happy about it because he didn't mean to. It was a big mistake and it never should have happened but he let his pride get the best of him by not apologizing to her or showing any remorse for his actions.While waiting for Catherine, he texts Vanessa.William: Babe? Good morning.Vanessa: 😤William: Vanessa? Are you okay? You've been ignoring my calls? Vanessa: Give me reasons why I shouldn't, William?

"We're here sir." The driver mumbled, drawing William's attention away from Catherine as he moved the gear and put the car in park. William turned away from the driver fixed his gaze back on Catherine. Then he angrily stepped out of the car and marched into the office.While Catherine was making her way in, she was thinking about how to leave the office. She knew Charlotte was dieing to hear the reason why she made her stop her father from signing the documents they received from William earlier on about a deal. Once William stepped in, Jorge - his assistant stepped out and walked by his side holding an ipad and a pen in his hand. As he walked with William to his office, he updated him on his schedule for that day. "Is that all?" William asked when he was done reading. He slid his keys in his door knob and unlocked it.

"How do you know that?" Micheal whispered."Daddy, I know it's sounds very unbelievable, but... I snuck into his office--""Honey! Why would you do that?" Charlotte interrupted."Mommy, that's not important," Catherine turned to her father, "we had a meeting with Mr. Dunlop Knowles... I'm not sure you know him but you must have heard of him... He's a very close business partner to the Bentleys. They never talked about taking the company till I left to the bathroom, and I'm my way back, I overheard the conversation, I wasn't sure why they would want that neither did I want to jump into conclusions and that was why I had to sneak into his office to find anything that could prove my thoughts right." She then turned her gaze to her mother."Mommy, yes, you taught me better but I had no other choice." Catherine turned to her father and took his hand and spoke softly to him, "Daddy, please, I don't want you to consider that deal with William. You and mother might think I'm crazy but just be

"Don't worry, I'm fine." William responded as he rubbed his hand gently against his forehead. William was mostly worried about the situation that just played out, he hoped that the paparazzi people were unable to get a clear photo of him and Vanessa's faces even though it was still night time and dark there."Babe are you sure?" Vanessa asked as she rubbed his arm gently.William pulled away from her, making it obvious that he was no longer in the mood to be all lovey-dovey and something else was bothering him."Babe --""Vanessa, I'll take you home straight from here alright?" William interrupted."Okay." Vanessa responded, resting on his shoulders.It was almost midnight and William had just returned home.
