Catherine’s POV When I woke up the next morning, it was to the annoying shrill sound of my ringtone.“Fuck, I thought I had it on silent,” I grumbled against the pillow, as I scooted over to reach for the phone, with my eyes flapped shut.When I couldn't get it, I groaned, and begrudgingly squeezed my eyes open to grab the annoying device which had now stopped ringing.On seeing that I had missed a call from Rita, I sighed heavily before placing the phone down on the nightstand, mentally noting to call her back later that day.As I climbed out from beneath the blanket, it occurred to me that I wasn't in my bedroom.Looking around made memories from the night before rush in which in turn caused my cheeks to heat up in shyness.Alessandro and I had truly fucked on every damn corner of his room throughout the night.After our love confessions in the bathtub, he proceeded to finger me again before sliding his cock inside me and pounding me from below.Then, we fucked against the door afte
Catherine's POV “What would you like to have, sir?” I asked Mr Thomas, as he plopped into an armchair.He was presently at my house to pay me a visit before heading back to Canada tomorrow.There were some crucial aspects of his company that needed his utmost attention, he had explained to me.Mr Thomas hadn't been to Canada for almost a month now.He had been in America ever since he was called to the hospital after Liam was abducted, and had even bought a condo beside mine, in order to keep an eye on me.Although he didn't tell me directly, I knew he was almost reluctant to leave because he was worried about me and the twins.“Beer,” He said, to which I nodded before placing my bag on a stool and trekking to the kitchen.Opening the fridge, I retracted two bottles of beer, a bottle of carbonated water for myself, a bottle opener, a slice of the strawberry shortcake that I had baked last night, a clean glass cup and placed everything on a tray.The elder man loved to eat all sorts o
Catherine’s POV “Are you sure?” Alessandro's voice boomed from the other end of the line with uncertainty.“Yes,” I whispered, pressing the phone against my ear as I stared into the void in front of me. “Sooner or later, they will eventually find out.”“Okay, let's do this then,” He replied. “Would you like me to be present with you?”“Yes,” “Alright, baby. Let me know when you're ready and I'll come over immediately.”“Sure,”“I love you so much, Cathy. You know that, right?” He asked, and I nodded, even though he couldn't see me.“Yes, I do and I love you more,” I responded, my cheeks burning with a blush.I had initially thought the shyness that came with declaring my love for Alessandro would disappear, the more I said it, but the more I said, the coyer I got.It wasn't my fault anyway..For the last five years, the only people that I had declared my love for were Leo and Liam.The next day was my day off, so I asked Alessandro to come over for breakfast in order to break the ne
Catherine’s POV “I don't want to wear that shirt,” Liam uttered, glaring at the outfits that I laid out on his bed.“Why?” I frowned, befuddled. “Don't you want to match with Leo anymore? He's also wearing the same shirt, look.” I motioned to a fully-dressed Leo, who was sitting on his bed.“I don't want to match with him anymore,” He stubbornly muttered. “I want to wear my Pokémon hoodie.”Sighing, I packed his clothes from the bed and returned them into their shared closet.Only the heavens knew why Liam was being so grumpy today.Earlier today, he had almost gotten into a fight with Leo after his twin brother stole some tater tots from his plate.Normally, he would have just glared and hissed at Leo instead of resorting to physical attack.Or had I been too away from the kids?Maybe spending most of my time with Alessandro after work instead of them was starting to strain my relationship with him.“Baby, are you okay?” I asked, holding his hands. “Are you mad at mummy or something
Alessandro’s POV “My dear, I'm even thinking of doing something,” Grandma uttered, as we both walked down the stairs into the dining room, with her hand in mine.“What is that, ma?” I asked, helping her onto a dining chair. “I want to build a swimming pool and I'm also planning to renovate the entire house,” She grinned, as a maid dished her a plate of seafood stew with boiled corn.When the maid was about to dish me a plate, I shook my head and motioned her to leave.Bowing, she exited the dining room and I swerved my concentration back to Grandma.“Why? Are you expecting a visitor?” I asked.“No,” She said. “Liam and Leo told me that they want a swimming pool and a bouncing castle. I've already installed a bouncing castle in the backyard today, so what's left now is the swimming pool. And that should be ready within a week. I want only the best things for my babies.”Smiling, I shook my head as she spoke, clearly excited to devote her attention to something apart from chemotherapy
Catherine’s POV “Thanks, Al,” I uttered, sitting on the dining chair that Alessandro had pulled out of the table for me.“You're welcome, baby,” He replied, and took his own seat.“I love the interior decor of this place,” I said, looking around. “It has this homey feel that gives you instant comfort. I hope their food doesn't disappoint my taste buds.”The restaurant was built with marbles with wide antique mirrors hung on the wall.A large chandelier that took the shape of a globe was also mounted on the ceiling, which gave it an ornate yet minimalist aesthetic.“Let's hope so,”Almost immediately, a waitress walked up to us and we placed our orders, after scanning the menu code.I ordered some spaghetti aglio e olio with asparagus and bacon while Alessandro ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled shrimp.For our drink, we both ordered non-alcoholic grape wine because we still had to drive back to our respective place of works.In contrast to my earlier fears, the food was quite del
Alessandro’s POV “Mummy, hurry,” Liam yelled. “Daddy is here!”Chuckling, I hugged Leo and him then pressed kisses to their foreheads.They both darted me affectionate looks as I placed them on the floor.“How are you, sweeties?” I asked. “Where's mummy?”“We are fine,” Leo responded. “Mummy is upstairs dressing up. We have a new Miss in our class, I kind of like her because she doesn't force me to do arithmetic.” I smiled, recalling how Leo hated Mathematics and anything related to it, to a fault unlike his twin who loved it.Thankfully, he made up for it by being a genius painter.For his age, he was very talented and I couldn't be prouder of him.“Is that so?” I asked. “What is her name?”“Miss Sofia,” Liam responded. “She is very tall and she's kind.”“That's good to hear,” I supplied, ruffling their hair.Just then, Catherine walked down the stairs looking gorgeous as always in a pair of straight leg jeans and a white tee with a pink, flowery jumper.Her shoulder bob had grown
Catherine’s POV A smile of relief tugged at my lips as Alessandro approached the visitors' area of the large hall at Leo and Liam's kindergarten.Today was the twins' kindergarten graduation, and j couldn't be happier and prouder of them.“Thank goodness, I made it,” Alessandro said, pressing a kiss to my lips and taking his seat on the empty chair beside me that I had reserved for him.“What happened?” I asked, as he retracted the pamphlet of the ceremony from me.“The shareholders meeting lasted way longer than I thought it would,” He said. “I had to postpone it till tomorrow because it seemed as though it wouldn't end today.”“Those old men can surely argue, huh?” I chuckled, and he just sighed.“Where are the little graduands by the way?” He glanced at the empty podium. “I don't see them anywhere.”I was about to respond to him when the graduands of the day marched out, all smiles, in their little navy graduation robes and caps.Leo sighted me and his grin widened as he gave me a
