Catherine’s POV

"Good afternoon, ma'am. How may I help you?" A young female receptionist uttered as I walked to the reception desk.

"Afternoon," I said, stifling the ire bubbling within me with a tight smile. "I'm here to see Alessandro."

"Do you have an appointment with him?" She asked, and I shook my head.

Fuck, I had forgotten that his company had very tight security.

You could only see him if you had an appointment with him.

The first and only time that I came here in the past, I had met a different receptionist who had mocked me when Alessandro refused to see me, even after I told the receptionist to tell him that I was his wife.

"It's really urgent," I said, and without waiting for a response, I trekked toward Alessandro's office.

"You can't go in, ma'am," The receptionist protested, as she trailed behind me, but I just ignored her and flung the door to Alessandro's open, without knocking.

He was having a discussion with a middle aged man that I had never seen before.

    Catherine’s POV "My drink has finished," I slurred, sliding the empty glass cup toward the bartender. "Give me more. I told you to give me the strongest mixture you have but you gave me something mild. I could sue you for not heeding to my instruction, you know?"The bartender, a young man in his early twenties, darted me a fed up look."Do you have anyone who you can call, ma'am?" He asked. "You're not in a condition to go home on your own at all.""Who said anything about going home?" I drawled. "There's nobody at home. Liam and Leo are currently having a sleepover at the daycare.""You'll have to go home eventually, Miss, and I'm really worried for you," He said, pouring a mixture into my cup.The moment I tasted the drink, I spat it out and darted the bar man a glare."You gave me soda?" I muttered, my throat burning as a result of the many mixtures of alcohol that I had consumed in the past one hour.After meeting with Lucas's mother to give her the news of her child's death, I

    Catherine’s POV I giggled as Alessandro bit my lower lip to gain thorough access into the warmth of my mouth.Wild flames of erotic desire coursed through me like fire on dried leaves, as he ran his hands down my back and stopped to grab the round firmness of my butt.My pussy was wet and my panties was soaked in a copious amount of sensual juice.I wanted Alessandro so bad at that moment.I wanted his long fingers scissoring me to the crest of immense erotic fulfillment while his dexterous tongue worked my clit and left me longing and moaning for his huge cock.Gosh, I had truly missed his hands all over my body."Please," I whimpered into his mouth, as he squeezed my ass.Smirking, he broke the kiss and licked my helix which sent a great spark of sensual need coursing through my veins. "What do you want, baby?""You," I mewled, craning my neck to grant him access to every part of my ear. "I want you to fuck me."Although I was extremely drunk, I still knew that I shouldn't be doing

    Alessandro’s POV As I rounded up my work for the day, my phone rang with an incoming call.One glance at the caller id showed me that it was an unknown caller, so I decided to let it ring.However, the person kept calling which caused my mind to dwell on the delusional possibility that Catherine was calling.On the fifth ring, I decided to answer the call, while inwardly hoping that I hadn't thought wrong."Alessandro," My mother's voice wafted into my ears, and for a fleeting moment, I considered hanging up on her, but I repressed that urge and locked my jaw."Mother," I muttered."I have been calling you for a while now with my other numbers but none of them went through, so I decided to use my new line," She explained. "How are you doing?""Good," I answered curtly. "Is there a reason as to why you called?""Right, I almost forgot," She sighed. "Your grandmother mentioned something but I wanted to confirm. Is it true that Catherine is her doctor?"I knew this day would come.Mothe

  • My Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back   Regret

    Catherine's POV What was I thinking? What the fuck was I possibly thinking? What was wrong with my head? Those were the thoughts that ravaged my mind as I restlessly paced my bedroom. What happened to the decision to ignore Alessandro's existence and never let him get close to me? How could I have been so stupid on two occasions? As if fucking him wasn't bad enough, I had also let him finger me to a breathtaking orgasm earlier today. Although I hated to admit it, the orgasm had calmed my raging nerves and I had smoothly carried out three surgeries today. But that was beside the point, having carnal affairs with a jerk like Alessandro was the worst thing I could possibly do. Raking my hands through my hair, I exhaled heavily as my brain unhelpfully replayed the whole thing in my head; how good his dexterous fingers had felt thrusting in my slick warmth and how sexy he had looked smirking at me as I came. I needed to stop thinking about him before I shoved myself into an even w

    Catherine's POV “You look pretty today, Dr Williams,” A veteran cardiologist, Dr Abel, complimented me, as I walked into the lunchroom to make myself a sandwich. Shit, I thought inwardly, trying to think of what atrocity I had committed that day that the universe was punishing me for. You see, Dr Abel was a well-known womanizer in tender care. Hell, I had barely spent a week working before he came to my office with a gift hamper stating that he wanted to hang out with me. I had politely declined his offer and walked him out, with the excuse that I wanted to go and pick up my sons. You'd think the old geezer would have read in between the lines to decipher that I didn't want anything to do with him. But he didn't, he had even offered to take me there. Can you imagine? If that wasn't shamelessness at its height, I had no idea what else it was. “Thanks,” I said, then averted my gaze from him to grab the packet of slice bread from the refrigerator. When I looked back, I sa

I asked, looking through her files."I'm fine, dear. How are you?" She grinned."Fine too, ma. Thanks for asking," I returned her grin before scribbling a remark on her file and placing it on the bed side table."You'll come tomorrow, right?" She asked. "Most certainly, ma." I nodded, to which she smiled again."Good. Thanks for taking care of me, dear," She said.Smiling, I responded. "You're welcome, ma'am." Afterward, I injected her medication for that morning into her iv packet before making my way out of the room to my office, where I eased myself out of my white coat and hung it on the rack.Then, I headed to the locker room to change out of my scrubs into a casual outfit, that consisted of black baggy sweatpants and a white tee.As I tossed my hair into a bun, I caught sight of a

    Alessandro’s POV "Look who it is!" Grandma cheered heartily as I entered her bedroom. "My one and only grandson, Alessandro."She was sitting on her rocking chair with a cheshire grin creasing her lips."How are you doing today, ma?" I asked, crossing the room to press a kiss to her forehead.Smiling, she nodded and motioned to a half-knitted mass of red yarn on her lap. "I'm good. How are you?”“Good too, what are you doing?” I motioned to the yarn on her lap.“I’m knitting a cardigan for the children at the homeless shelter," Grandma divulged, picking up the knitting pins and continuing her work. "Next week is the thirty-first anniversary of your grandfather's death and I intend to finish the whole thing before then.""Oh," I muttered, sitting on the couch beside her. "Is there going to be a ceremony?"She shrugged. "I don't know yet. I'm still contemplating the whole thing but we'll see. So what's going on with you?""Me?" I raised a brow. "Nothing much.

Is it to your taste?” Leo asked, as I gazed at the car in surprise.“It's perfect,” I whispered, shaking my head in happy disbelief. “I love it.”“I'm glad to hear that, honey,” Leo said, hooking an arm around my waist. “You love the color, right?

After many years of challenges, trials, and tribulations, Allison was finally going to be my wife just like I had always wanted.I had to pinch myself thrice when I woke up that morning, in order to be sure that I wasn't dreaming and today was really happening.“From who?” I asked, as he handed me the bag.“Allison.”My face softened with a wide grin as I retracted a burgundy velvet box from the bag.“I wonder what this is,” I muttered to myself, as I flipped the box open.My grin widened, to the point where my eyes creased when I saw the contents of the box; it consisted of a golden wristwatch, a pair of golden cufflinks to match with a golden pen.On the three items, my initials–LDS–was intricately inscribed on it.I couldn't help but feel warm and touched by her thoughtful, sentimental gifts, so I decided to forgo my initial choice of cufflinks and wri

    Allison's POV“And I'm done,” Ophelia announced, after giving my face a final dab with the beauty blender. “You look ravishing, Allie.”Clasping my hands together to tame my nervous excitement, I breathed out. “So can I open my eyes now?”“Yes, most definitely.”Inhaling sharply, I flapped my eyes open and gasped on seeing my beautiful reflection in the mirror.Ophelia had hearkened my choice and instructions to the very least detail and had done a great job with both my face and hair.My makeup was a natural, dewy look that accentuated and drew more attention to my facial features rather than having a huge slab of foundation pasted on my face while my hair was tossed in a sleek, french bun with a diamond brooch inserted beside it.I looked like a princess who had just stepped out of a fairytale book, and I could barely hide my excitement as I assessed my face, a huge smile plastered to my face.“I look gorgeous,” I said. “You did a wonderful job, Lia, and I don't know if I'm ever gon

Three days had passed since I proposed to Allison and we officially became a soon-to-be married couple.The rest of our family were currently at the other side of the beach house. I had designed the building of the beach house in such a way that my little family and I could have our own private time whenever we wanted, without any disturbance.“But his attention is fixated on Mickey mouse. He can't see us.” I argued, sliding my hand in between her legs which earned me a smack on the shoulder followed by a glare.As I made to defend myself yet again, my phone vibrated with a message.Reading through the text message which was sent by my mum, I smiled. “Mum and Dad are going for a walk downtown and they want to take Aiden with them.”“A walk with grandma an
