Catherine’s POV Three days had passed since Laura escaped from prison, and ever since then, I had been unable to get a full night's rest.I had even resorted to sleeping pills in order to be able to focus properly on surgeries and the rest of my work, yet my effort had been futile as I would sleep for like a minute only to wake up from a nightmare, drenched in sweat.As for the twins, I had withdrawn them from school some days ago, and had hired a teacher to come over to teach them as I didn't want them out of my sight for even a minute.It took a great dose of persuasion from Alessandro before I allowed them to go over to Grandma's place when I went to work, two days ago, yesterday, and even today.Two days ago, Alessandro had decided to tighten the security of the mansion by hiring more security men and installing CCTVs at every part of the house. However that did little to put the worry burning within me to rest.Many gory imaginations had played out in my mind for the past couple
Alessandro's POV “Good afternoon, sir,” Shelton's voice came from the other end of the line. “Afternoon, how is the search party going?” I went straight to the point. “Has any of the fugitive prisoners been apprehended yet?” “Yes, sir. The orchestrator of the plan and two others were caught today,” He responded. “It remains Laura and one other lady. I'm highly certain they will be caught very soon.” “Alright, thanks for your help.” I said, before hanging up and averting my focus to Catherine whose gaze was fixated at the void in front of her, as she laid beside me on the bed. After news of the prison break broke out, Catherine became more reserved and quiet. She rarely spoke and was always spacing out. It was so bad that she had cut herself with a knife earlier today while dicing carrots. “That was Shelton,” I said, when she looked at me. “Three out of the five escapees have been caught. It's only a matter of time before they apprehend her.” “I hope so,” Catherine whispered,
Catherine’s POV I smiled as I maneuvered my car into the vast expanse of Alessandro's estate. That day, I was happy beyond words because Laura had been recaptured and was now back in prison.According to Attorney Santos, this time she had been placed in jail with notorious serial killers and cannibals which meant that she would be in hell on earth.Suddenly, I heard a loud explosion before the mansion was enveloped with wild flames of fire. Gasping, I exited the car, with my heart hammering against my chest in trepidation.Before I could take two more steps, the whole building collapsed and became gutted by fire completely, causing my legs to buckle beneath me.An alarm went off in my head and I screamed my lungs out.“My kids are in there!” I hollered, tears running down my face as I ran into the fire. Although it burned and tore my clothes, I didn't care because all that mattered to me was saving Leo and Liam.“Mummy, help!” I heard them call from a distance, and my heart cut into

Laura’s POV “I am heading downstairs to make breakfast,” Chris uttered, pressing a kiss to my lips.”What do you want to eat?”Not only had I gotten a dedicated fool like him to house me for free, I had also gotten a personal chef. Chris was really the embodiment of stupidity and I hoped he never changed himself.“Waffles and syrup,” I murmured into the kiss, scadding my fingers through his hair. “Thanks, baby.”“My pleasure, Laura,” He responded, pulling back from the kiss. “I already told you that you don't have to thank me for doing my job as your boyfriend. It is my main role to ensure that you are always comfortable, isn't it?”“Sure,” I feigned a smile which he returned before stepping out of the room.“What a dunce,” I muttered, rolling my eyes. “Thank goodness he's at least hot.”Two days ago, ater we had sex in his office, Chris took me home to his place–a three bedroom apartment that was barely up to my standard.But I had no option but to live like that because I couldn't e
Catherine’s POV “Great job on the surgery, Dr Williams,” One of the nurse anesthetists, Nina, uttered as we walked out of the theater together.We had just finished one of the most complicated surgeries that I had ever had to perform in my career as a neurosurgeon.The surgery was done on a set of conjoined twins who were interlocked at their heads. I was extremely proud of both myself and my team for putting up a great job.“Thank you,” I beamed, taking off my surgery regalia, with the exception of my scrubs, and tossing it into a trashcan.“How do you do it, Dr Williams?” One of the assisting surgeons, Baldwin, asked. “You are just too good. Words can't express how excellent you are.”“Aww,” I smiled. “You overestimate me too much at times. I mean, I'm just doing my job. And I'd be a bad surgeon if I can't do operations, won't I?”“Right,” They all echoed, and my smile got bigger before I made my way to the locker room.Just then, Nina walked in giggling at her phone. Only then did
Alessandro’s POV As I scrolled through the text messages that I sent to Catherine earlier today, a knock came on the door of my office.“Come in,” I said, sitting upright on the swivel chair and putting my phone away.Marco walked in, clutching a folder of documents to his chest.“The shareholders are ready for you, sir,” He announced.Nodding, I got up, grabbed my phone and pocketed it before taking my silver pen, in case I needed to sign a document and exiting the office, with Marco trailing behind me.Stepping into the conference room, the shareholders stood up and gave me a bow.Nodding, I went to take my designated seat as CEO at the head of the table.“Good day, all,” I uttered into the conference microphone. “We are all gathered here to discuss the future of this company.”Marco handed me the folder in his hold before taking his seat beside me. Opening the folder, I continued, “I have reviewed all your submitted ideas and I have to say that I was very impressed by the outpour
Catherine’s POV “Good morning, Dr Williams,” Mrs Helton, the mother of my latest patient, a seven-year old boy, greeted me as I strolled to their side of the ward.Her son however was unconscious, with a knitted blanket covering his small body. He was yet to regain his consciousness after three days.The boy was a victim of a hit and run. His skull had been mildly fractured in the accident. Till now, the driver was yet to be found and I couldn't help but feel bad.Thankfully, his wounds were healing at a faster rate than I had initially expected, which quenched some of my worries.Beaming, I responded. “Morning, Mrs Helton. I presume you are doing well today.”“Very well at that,” She nodded in agreement. “My son is awake and has the appetite of a child who was starved by a wicked stepmother and I can't be any happier or relieved. Thanks a lot, Dr Williams. You are the best.”“You are welcome, Mrs Helton,” I replied. “However, I want you to know that you don't have to thank me at all
