EPISODE 40Catherine's POV:I left Ace at the hallway and walked back inside the hall. Immediately i walked in, i met Talia at the front door."I saw Ace taking you away, are you alright?" She asked me and I nodded my head."Yes, I'm good." I responded.She looked beautiful in her red gown and ponytail hair."Come, let's dance." She said and grabbed my hand then led me to the dance floor."Who is your date." I asked her as we dance the night away.She smiled and glanced around the room."I came here with Liam." She told me.Liam? Liam Wesley? Ace's best friend?"Are you dating Liam?" I asked her."Just because he was my date doesn't mean we're dating. Are you dating Ace yourself?"She had a point."Whatever, you know that Ace and I have a very twisted relationship and can't be compared with that of yours and Liam.I've never seen the two of you talking before so how did he end up being your date? how did this happened? tell me what's going on, I need to know, I want to know every litt
EPISODE 41Ace's POV:I was looking for Catherine inside the hall but had no idea that she was frolicking with Anitra. Why the hell can't she stay away from him? Why does she need me to force her before she can hear what I say to her? Why she's so stubborn?I have never known Catherine as a stubborn person, but well, I don't know her anymore she have changed a lot.She couldn't even remember the fact that I used to call her butterfly, she couldn't even remember that she loves butterflies.I can't help but get angry, she always provoke me every single time and everytime I try to hurt her she look up to me with that blue doll eyes of hers and I don't know what to do again.She kept on pushing me, pushing me and pushing me and I know that it won't be long till I get to my breaking point and she would have to realise that I'm not playing with her.And then she will realise that it is so much more than she thought it is.My little naughty butterfly, have your little fun when you can becau
EPISODE 42Catherine's POV:When I got home later that night, I was so tired. Tired from everything. The secret note I got from the unanimous being that still scares me shitless whenever I remember it, or the confrontation between Ace and Anitra.I was exhausted especially from the fact that I don't know who sent me the written notes. I don't know if they are watching me, I don't know who they are or if they can help me. This is seriously ridiculous.I still have a lot to do, I have to talk to my homeroom teacher so that she can talk to the principal for me and get a handwritten note to increase my chances of getting into Harvard.****It is my birthday, lmao.But none of the people who called themselves my family wished me a happy birthday. Well, not yet.I received a call from Talia earlier this morning wishing me a happy birthday and also got a message from Anitra. It doesn't matter if Uncle Alex and Vivian don't wish me Happy birthday, I will enjoy today.I walked out of my bedr
EPISODE 43Ace's POV:Have you ever felt like killing someone? Have you ever had the urge to take someone's life? I felt it right now, at this moment.I want to kill him right now. The one I used to call my friend, the one that betrayed me and slept with my fiance behind my back, the one that is plotting to take Catherine away from me. But I won't let him this time, Catherine belongs to me, only me and I won't allow anybody else to go near her. I didn't want to come here tonight. Veronica Hampton forced me.A party that I didn't want to attend but she forced me because she's the only one that knows how to do so.I hate it here.I can't stay here and be faking it. I can see all the fake smiles, the hatred masked behind a smile and the power struggle between everyone here.Why smile at someone you obviously detest so much? It doesn't make sense at all, it just makes you look stupid.I sip on my drink, my eyes glancing around the room calmly."Who would have thought that the great Ace
EPISODE 44Ace's POV:After Mike picked me up, I told him to take me straight home.She threatened me. No one threatens me, ever.Not even the so-called Chelsey. Now that Catherine's name has been mentioned in my presence after so long makes my dick hard.I need to see her. I badly needed to see her. I want to have that heart shaped mouth wrapped around my cock and my cock running down the corner of her lips when I'm done with her.I hate her so fucking much that I want to destroy her.I need her as of this moment. I need her so fucking badly like the air that I breath.I hate her so fucking much for having this much hold on me even when I hate her so much.I'll destroy her for any other man. When I'm done with her, she will only have my name in her mouth.I don't care if she really lost her memory.I'll make a cruel one and engrave it in her heart so she never forgets. Catherine's POV:Do you know how it feels when you're looking for help so desperately and the person that showed up
EPISODE 45Catherine's POV:Before she could start speaking, my phone rings.I brought it out from my purse and stared at the name.Talia.She must have gone to Alex's house and couldn't find me there."Hello?" I asked calmly."Hello? What the fuck is going on in your head, Catherine? Vivian said you left the house. Why? I don't understand, it is your birthday, Catherine." She shouted, her voice rising through each words.I sighed softly and closed my eyes.Of course I know that today is my birthday more than anybody else."Of course I know that. Listen Talia, I left the house because Vivian and her husband were just waiting for the right time to strike. I don't know much about everything right now but I'll let you know more as soon as I find out. As of now, I'm safe." I told her.I could hear her take in a deep breath before she spoke again. "Are you sure you're okay?""Yes, don't worry. I'll text you my location tomorrow when everywhere is calm." I told her sweetly. I am very gratef
EPISODE 46Catherine's POV: 'Seeing you with other girls make me angry, but am I the reason Of that?'*****"Hey girl, I saw your text message. What's up? How did it happen?" Talia questioned me immediately. I picked up her call. "It is a long story, Talia, you need to come over." I told her and she groaned."I can't wait. But I can manage so tell me where the hell you are so I can come over." She said impatiently.I told her the name and number of my mother's house before ending the call."Margaret, please can you make that big Mac two? My friend is coming over." I said to Margaret who was rinsing the pot inside the kitchen."Okay, young mistress." She responded.I've told her several times today to stop addressing me as a young Mistress but she never listens."I'm going to say it again, call me Cath or Catherine. I feel old when you call me 'young mistress'." I told her and she smiled, showcasing her set of teeth to me."Okay Cat
EPISODE 47Ace stood before the mirror and stared at himself, a blank expression on his face.He buttons up his shirt and wears his suit jacket before staring at himself once more over his mirror.It was his high school graduation day but he doesn't know how he feels. He has always wanted to get out of here, out of the house, but the opportunity was coming faster than he thought and still he couldn't find the excitement in his heart. He tilted his head back and stared at the ceiling then straightened himself, he turned towards the bed and grabbed his wallet then walked out of the room.He had a lot going through his mind, he understood the reason why his Mother introduced him to Chelsey. It means that she was planning to have them get married which he would never allow, she found out that it wouldn't work out with Kisa now she was trying to force him into another person, and also the fact that his mother was trying to reopen a case that happened 4 years ago.He has been trying to det
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
