The annoyed look on Catherine's face disappeared into one that was trying to decipher William's words. When she realized that he noticed she was considering his words, she shook her head vigorously, sighed and made her way to the wardrobe.William successfully didn't get a response from her which was a real bummer for him but he was willing to give her all the time and space she needed to ponder over his proposal. Just like they've been sharing a bed and similar to the way they slept on their wedding night, they both created a bridge at the Middle of they bed as they laid facing opposites sides and sharing one duvet.The next morning, after Mr and Mrs Bentley had left the house to go attend to their daily activities as retirees, Catherine and William were left alone in the house.After their little misunderstanding the previous night, the energy between these two was awkward and uncomfortable. As unplanned as it was, they both avoided each other to avoid mistakenly having a flashback

" It's not what you think ..." William tried to explain. " Isn't she your girlfriend? " Catherine asked casually as she dumped her plate in the sink. "She ... Catherine, I don't know why she came here, I had no idea." William's didn't want Catherine to start thinking his blooming feelings for her was a joke, he tried to explained everything to Catherine and justify his actions but it seemed like Catherine wasn't really interested especially since they had opposite feelings for each other. "William, don't sweat it honestly, she's your girlfriend plus I didn't ask any questions." Catherine said quietly, leaving William behind. She made her way up the stairs to their bedroom to start making preparations for their their little vacation. William followed her upstairs. He wasn't comfortable with the energy she was letting off. William was willing to treat Catherine like a fragile rare gem. His sharp imposing demeanor, somehow melted away each time he was with Catherine. William was f

~Next day~William made his way upstairs to the bedroom and mistakenly barged into Catherine who was too busy admiring her reflection in the mirror to notice his presence. She stylishly struck poses while preparing for work, in a maroon coloured pantsuit, her luscious hair, waving on her back, she paired everything with a cute black birkin and black Louis Vuitton shoes she got as a wedding gift from her mother. She turned around to take her leave when she saw William leaning by the door frame with his hands folded at his chest and wearing a narrow grin on his face.She staggered at the sight of him, and wondered what he was starring at, looking so lost, "What are you doing?" She questioned, her heart racing with shock, she picked her phone from the bed and approached the door when William's hand stopped her."I was just too busy admiring you, I got lost in your beauty."Catherine cocked her brows and darted her eyes around the room before taking a full stare at him, " Out of my way Wi

"Why did you ignore my call?" "Vanessa, i'm at work, your calls are distraction me, I have to go now." Vanessa could hear the annoyance in his voice through her speakers as he spoke. " William, I know you're working, but what's taking you so long?" " Taking me so long? Vanessa it's 10 am in the morning, I just got here." " William, did you forget you are supposed to come over today, we had this conversation yesterday." "Today?! Vanessa, I ... " William turned to see the distance between him and Catherine and even wondered if she could hear him, Catherine on the other hand was busy typing away on her computer while peeping into a file. William moved away a bit to be sure Catherine couldn't hear him or see his gestures. "Are you still there William?" Vanessa asked through the speaker. William exhaled sharply as he brushed his hand over his face, "Vanessa can you reschedule?" He asked calmly. " No! No William, we cannot reschedule! You're leaving for your honeymoon very s

When Vanessa got home, she had her bath and freshened up. She put on a red v-neck bodycon dress with a thigh high slit by the side, after getting her hair done and putting on some deodorant she headed straight to her mini bar and picked out the best red wine she hand and grabbed to glasses.She carefully poured in some wine in each of the glasses and then added a little about of the substance Zayne gave her earlier in one of the drinks and stirred it gently with desert spoon so the substance would settle properly.She left everything on the kitchen counter while eating grapes, she stared at her phone waiting patiently for William's call.~~~Catherine heard a knock on her door and turned her gaze to it only to find William standing by it, half open. "Er... I wanted to let you know I'm leaving... For the ... The meeting I told you I have, today with business partners."

The moment he realized it was Sophia, he let go immediately and pushed himself away from her angrily, he got out of the bed and realized he was half naked. He hurriedly searched for his phone and when he found it, it was almost 9 am the next day."Shit! Shit! Shit!" He cursed under his breath as he hurriedly picked his clothes up and put them on."William?" Vanessa called out in a husky voice while stretching out. She sat on the bed and leaned against the bed rest clutching tightly on the duvet, "William what are you doing?" She asked as she rubbed sleep away from her eyes."What does it look like I'm doing Vanessa?" William asked angrily as he buckled his belt hurriedly."You

He said softly.Catherine immediately released herself off him as she folded her arms on her chest and casted a glare at him. "William, just because I'm asking doesn't mean I care."" So how come you're asking since you don't care?" William asked wearing a sneaky smile.Catherine cut her gaze off him and began to stammer. "I... I needed you to ... To help me get something on your way back. So where were you?"" I told you before Catherine, I had a business meeting to attend to."

It might piss me you off though, but... whatever happened between you and Vanessa?" " We broke up... I broke up with her." William responded without hesitation. "Vanessa shouldn't be someone you should be worrying about. Plus we've had this conversation before." William spoke calmly.

Her heart was racing and she could barely catch her breathe.In Catherine's head, she could not describe how she felt. Jolts of electricity travelled down her spine in currents each time William's hands caressed her side. He made her want more than just his lips when he tilted his head and traveled to her neck. Goosebumps appeared all over her body, she could feel her body vibrating in excitement. Her eyes were shut tight, her mind was void. "Are you okay?" William asked as he continued planting hickeys on Catherine's neck but all he got was a very soft light moan that escaped her lips.William felt her grip on his shoulders tighten she he lifted her by her inner thighs and took her to the bed.
