My night was just ruined even though I don't remember anything that happened even though I can't remember what my parents looks like or my life with them neither was there any feeling of connection towards them but as a human I feel sad for what's going on and I feel sad that I'm going to be the one to pay the price for something I know nothing about.I mean this is b******* this is nonsense why am I going to pay me for something I don't know anything about, why is he being mean to me?And why is my stupid heart beating so loudly for him what am I hearing for his attention why do I care if he treats me right or not why do I have to care about him about my bully someone who has made sure to make my life hell since I came to RHS, does that
EPISODE 28Catherine's POV:Talia drove me home when her parents got back, when I got back home they were both sleeping already. I unlocked the door with my key and went inside my room.I wasn't feeling fine. I guess being so angry with myself I have already invited malaria.I sat down on my bed and dropped my bag on top of my drawer.Talia told me not to think much about it since I couldn't even remember anything that happened and she was right. I couldn't remember anything so why should I feel guilty?All I have to do now is to stay away from Ace.Yes, that's what I'm going to do to avoid any further troubles.*****I walked inside Montego hotels and spoted Hailey immediately at the far end of the restaurant.It has been a long time since I last came here. I messaged Mr Malcom and quit my part-time job before my exam started but here I am, Hailey and Karla were her friends too, even though they were older they were still friends. Age is only a number."Catherine! It has been a long
EPISODE 29Catherine's POV;I stood there staring at him without saying a word.What brought him here? Why do I have to meet him here of all places?Was he following me or something?I don't understand."What a coincidence, it is so great to meet you somewhere away from school, Catherine." He said, that flirting smile on his face again.I don't understand why he keeps being persistent when I've already told him that I want nothing to do with his feud with Ace.I don't understand why he wants to make me a victim of their problem.I hate this."Were you following me Anitra?" I asked him sternly, he chuckled and glanced down the sidewalk before looking back at me."Of course not, I just happened to run into you here, I have better things to do than stalk you." He responded cockily.Oh right. I must have forgotten just who he was.A cocky bastard who wants to make me a prey in his nonsense."My money." I said, bringing my hand forward to him.He glanced down at the money in his hand and g
Episode 30Ace and Liam were playing basketball at the basketball court in Ace's house.His tanned body was covered with sweat and his face hard as he concentrated on the game.Liam watched him silently for a moment and shook his head.Ace was his best friend, they don't hide shit from each other but sometimes he doesn't understand Ace at all.Especially when it comes to Catherine.He understands that Ace has this weird obsession towards the girl and was wondering if she was the first love that left him and never came back.Catherine does have a British accent so there was a fair chance that she was the one."What's wrong?" Ace asked as he removed his shirt and stretched his body. Liam sighed and grabbed a bottle of water from the bench behind him."I should be asking you that question. What is going on? Kisa told me that you told her to break up with you, why? We both know you loved her, even though Anitra is back that shouldn't stop you from being with a girl you love." Liam said, h
EPISODE 31 Catherine's POV:I waited for a while to know what it is that he wanted to talk about, he was pretty serious about it when he told me that he had something to tell me. "Tell me, what is it that you want to say to me?what is so important for me to know? I don't have all day. " I told him. The waitress brought our orders and dropped it in front of us.Anitra his drink and sipped from it."You see, I know for the fact that you have a connection with Ace when he was in London but I just don't understand why he is treating you this way but won't allow anybody else to come near you. what is it that is going on between both of you? I don't know..... I don't care to know what you are thinking right now but I have to tell you that he was engaged to Kisa Queens and no matter what happened they were both supposed to get married, I don't know what is it that led to the break up but Mrs Hampton will never agree to it, Ace will have to marry Kisa whether he likes it or not. " Anitra sa
EPISODE 32Catherine's POV: Of all people, I wasn't expecting whom I saw."Get in," he repeated. My leg started moving towards the car, I had no other option, there was no available bus and it was raining heavily.I had to do something."What brought you here?" I asked him as soon as I got inside the car.He turned to face me and smirked. "I just thought of you immediately when I saw the rain, you don't have a car so count this as a favor from me." He responded and leaned over to buckle the seatbelt on me.His face was very close to mine, I could smell him, his scent, his cologne, it was all over me.After buckling the seatbelt he sat back and winked at me."Let's go!" He said and he hit the gas.Anitra Steele. What is your purpose in my life exactly? Are you a bad omen or a good one? I am getting confused.Sometimes he acts good to me and the other time he spends trying to spite me.I don't understand him at all.Throughout the ride I watch him discreetly. He was handsome. Rough bla
EPISODE 33Catherine's POV:I dropped my plate on the table and sat down. My encounter with Ace has spoiled my mood and I'm pissed off with myself.Why do I always remain mute whenever he is bullying me? Why can't I talk back to him the same way I do for Anitra?Could it be because of my stupid feelings? I hate this.I want to stop feeling this way so badly.I want to hate him but the more I try, the more I get attracted to him.What is fucking wrong with me?Someone dropped their food on the table beside mine and I looked up."Kisa." I whispered.She looked at me and smiled."It has been a long time, Catherine." She said,What is she doing here? Why can't I just eat my lunch in peace? Why do I have to worry about the school's Queen Bee? why?Several questions went through my head but I had no legitimate answer for it.I hate this shit."Hi Kisa." I greeted too. Every student's eyes were on us.I know what must be going through their heads. They might be wondering why Kisa, who obvi
EPISODE 34Ace's POV:Her heart was beating violently against her chest.She was scared.I glared at Kisa and sighed. She would always find a way to piss me off."You are fucking her? Is that it?" Kisa asked.Catherine glanced at the both of us, she was shaking and hiding herself in the water. I guess she was ashamed of herself."I can do what the hell I want, I can kiss whomever I want, you're not my girl." I retorted in annoyance. I climbed out of the swimming pool and grabbed a towel then wrapped it around my waist.Kisa scoffed and glanced at Catherine."Oh, that's right. You can't fuck her because you're still tied up with me." She said cockily and pushed her chest out. "Why? Can't get enough of me?"No matter how hard I tried not to get annoyed by Kisa because of the good old days we shared, she still finds a way to make me angry, a way to get me upset and get a raise out of me."Why are you still here?" I asked. I sat down on the chair and grabbed the can of coca cola from Liam
101"Is that true?" Veronica Hampton asked and Ace hummed softly." We visited the hospital earlier today and the doctor made it known to us." He responded calmly and glanced at Catherine. "Do you want to speak with her?"Catherine shook her head frantically but Ace casually shrugged his shoulder.She still found it extremely hard to make a conversation with Veronica Hampton."Yes, of course. Put her through." She uttered. Ace handed over the phone to a shaky Catherine and she took it, just then Anitra walked out of the kitchen."Hello, Mother." She greeted her." Ace told me that you're pregnant." Veronica Hampton said and Catherine nodded." Yes, ""I am glad." Veronica Hampton uttered softly which threw Catherine off guard. She wasn't expecting such response from her. "A young Hampton. It has been long overdue. Congratulations on your pregnancy, Catherine Hampton. I'll send a professional nurse down to London that will always look after you and make sure that my grandchild is healt
100After the judge declared Alexander Meyers and his wife guilty as charged, things have been significantly different in Catherine's life.She felt more at peace with herself. She stopped feeling guilty of being the only one that survived the accident.She feels more relaxed to stand before her mother-in-law.She stood outside their apartment building, waiting for Ace to drive out their car from the garage but she wasn't just waiting, she was lost in thought as well.For the past three days she hasn't been herself. She missed her period the other month and this month as well, she wondered if she had an infection. She fell sick constantly and missed a lot of lectures. She hated the fact that Ace missed his lectures as well because of her."Get inside the car and stop thinking." Ace called her out.Catherine sighed softly and walked over to him. "Sorry," she mumbled before getting inside the car.When Ace joined her inside the car, he took her hand in his and lightly squeezed it. "I do
99 It was the final court hearing of the case between Mr. Alexander Meyers and Mrs. Danielle Meyers. It was a famous case being held on TV screen where everyone can watch it. Veronica Hampton was sitting down on her office, her laptop in front of her as she watch the trial. "Your honor, Catherine Meyers Hampton was loved by my client. He provided for her. Sent her to the best school in the whole of United States of America. If my client had anything else planned for her he wouldn't have let her acquire education. My client is innocent." The defendant attorney claimed. "Objection, your honor." Said the plaintiff as he stood up from his chair. "Overruled, Defendant, you can continue." Veronica Hampton balled her hand in a tight fist and slammed it on the desk. She grabbed the telephone on her desk and speak into it get inside my office right now, Mereda. A few seconds later she walked inside the office standing in front of Veronica Hampton. "You call for me Mrs Hampton." She
98Ace was laying down on the bed pressing his phone. He had a zoom meeting with his mother and some employees a few minutes ago and he was just intending to get out of the bed.The bedroom door was pulled open and Catherine walked in. She was wearing a black short and a white camisole, her hip length golden hair was packed up in a high ponytail and her face free of make up.“You done with the meeting, Babe?” She whispered asked as she walk into the room. Ace's mouth lifted in a small smile as he tapped his side of the bed for her to sit on.Catherine chuckled at his gesture and slowly walked up to him, she slipped her feet out if her slippers and climbed on the bed. She placed her hand on his chest and stared inside her phone. "How was the meeting?" She inquired curiously.Ace slowly caress her back as she talk to him. The best leisure for him is hearing her talk. Her voice sounds like music to his ear and her touch set his body aflame. The kind of attraction he felt for her was tota
97"What happened?" Catherine asked and took the phone from Anitra."Police reject the bail of Chelsey Black." She read out loud and chuckled. "This is mother's handwork."Ace took her hand in his and let out a deep breath. "She deserves whatever Mom will throw her way, she shouldn't have touched you at all.""That is by the way, are you both leaving already?" Anitra questioned and Ace hummed. "We're done for the day." He replied.*****It has been two weeks since Ace and Catherine returned to London and resume college, a lot of things had happened within the two weeks and one if them was that Chelsey Black was fined £100,000 for physically assaulting Catherine Meyers Hampton. Catherine and Ace were done with their classes for the day and we're going to the parking lot, the security team following them at the back. As soon as they got to the parking lot she got a phone call from her Mother."Hello, Mom?" "Hi, Catherine. How are you?" Mrs Meyers asked. Catherine got inside the car
96Ace sat down on the bed beside Catherine and took her hand that has all sorts of wire fixed on it in his hand and sniffed in.“I'm sorry, Butterfly.” He whispered. He should have cut out the bullshits and had Chelsey walked out of the restaurant, but for some time he thought that it was cute seeing Catherine stand up for herself.He had no idea that Chelsey would go to the extent of physically harming her, he never thought of the possibility of such thing happening.The door was gently pulled opened and a nurse walked in. She smiled at Ace and walked around to Catherine's side of the bed. "Good afternoon, Mr Hampton."she greeted him."Good morning, Nurse. " Ace responded calmly. It has been more than 6 hours and Catherine was yet to wake up. It scared him a lot.The nurse checked the drip connected to Catherine's body and checked her body temperature then write it down on her chart.."She will wake up very soon. Don't worry." The nurse told him.He truly hope so.After the nurse le
95Catherine was wearing a lose jeans trouser and one of Ace's t-shirt. She sat before the vanity mirror putting on her lip gloss as some of the servants pull out their luggages.They will be returning to London that same day and she was just getting ready. Ace left for his Mom's room 30 minutes ago and she was still waiting for him to get back to her.The door was pulled opened and Ace walked in. Catherine stared at him through the mirror and cocked her head to the side, scrutinizing him as he walked up to her.“You ready, Butterfly? We don't have much time.” He said as he grabbed his hair brush from the vanity.Catherine packed her make-up kits inside her make-up bag and stood up from the chair, she turned around to face Ace and smiled lovingly at him, her eyes almost closing. “Ready. What did you talk about with your Mom?” She asked her, she walked towards the bed and grabbed her handbag then straightened herself.“Just school stuff and our security of course,.” He responded and to
94Catherine took a deep breath and composed herself before looking up at Ace."Baby." She whispered and stood up from the couch, he walked up to her and pulled her towards his chest, wrapping his arms around her protectively.He kissed her hair and caressed her back slowly. "Is Mom back? Did something happen? Why were you sitting like that?" He inquired." No, I was just feeling a little bit down when you walked in . It's nothing serious." Catherine responded calmly. She gazed up at him and smiled. " How was your day?" "Great, did you have a great time with your mother?" He asked. While they both started walking towards the staircase."Yes, she apologized as expected of her, what about you?" She inquired."Since we will be going back to college tomorrow I thought about spending sometime with them." Ace responded softly, Catherine nodded her head and intertwined their hands."Mother said that she wants us with her during dinner, but first you need to wash up." She told him and winked
93"I can't believe you Mom, you took such a huge step and you couldn't even tell me about it. What did you take me for? You didn't think about my safety. What if he comes after me without my knowledge? What if Mrs Hampton really didn't find out what you did. What if, Mom?" Catherine questioned angrily when she visited her mother the next day.She was beyond pissed off, Alex is a psychopath he is the kind of person to go to any lengths in achieving their aim, someone who caused the death of his brother and then take custody of the daughter for more than four years before carrying out his plan, someone with such patience and calculative method can do anything, he is sick!"I wanted to tell you about it sweetheart. I just didn't think of telling you immediately, you just got married. I didn't want to spoil your mood. I'm truly sorry baby girl. I don't think of you as a child that shouldn't know about something like this, especially something that can cause you a lot of harm. It wasn't i
