Catherine's Pov
I watched rather impatiently as the driver of the car came down and hurriedly went to the passenger's door and opened the door.Next, a man dressed in a tuxedo suit with a rather muscular body descended from the car slowly. From my guess he should be in his mid-forties, even at that, he had an unexplainable charm and didn't look old in any way.The man looked at me, then suddenly, his smile changed into a frown. Next, the frown on his face changed to shock.Next, it changed into confusion as he stared at me. For a moment, I could feel that he was not staring at me, but something else."What's happening here?" The man frowned as he spoke up after a while."Sir, she came and claimed to be Mr. Lauren's girlfriend." The guards spoke up quickly as though they were afraid of the man."Then if she's Lauren's girlfriend, then why not allow her in?" The man asked with a frown."Sir, it's a lie, she's not....""No sir, I'm not lying, I'm Lauren's girlfriend," I spoke up hurriedly as I believed the man had the power to help me."What do you know, woman!" The guards sneered."Shut it, and allow her to talk!" The man growled, interrupting the guards."Yes sir." The guards replied almost immediately and shut up."Now talk." The man turned to me as he said lightly."Sir, I'm Lauren's girlfriend, we met some years back and I've even given birth to his sons," I replied feeling rather anxious."Let me see those Children behind you." The man frowned pointing at Laurel and Leo who were behind me.They were Lauren's kids, I had gotten pregnant for him not long after he left, and now I had come looking for him, but these imbeciles were denying me entry."So.. you had kids behind you..." The guards shuttered as they looked at me in shock then at Laurel and Leo."Yeah?" I frowned, feeling rather annoyed.Would I announce to them that I had children when they were blind in the first place? Besides, the twins were just like a replica of Lauren and anyone who saw them wouldn't hesitate before associating them with Lauren.The man frowned as he looked at Laurel and Leo for quite a long time. There seemed to be a smile on his face as he looked at them.It was at that moment I realized that he wasn't staring at me when he came down from the car but at Laurel and Leo. The two looked so much alike to Lauren that it would be difficult to believe it."Sir, what do you say we do?" The guards suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence."Open the gate." The man frowned as he looked up at them."I'll help you get Lauren, let's get into the car." The man smiled as he turned to look at me.I nodded as I entered the car with Laurel and Leo. I was sure there would be no problem as the man seemed related to Lauren and currently my only hope of finding him.Getting into the car, I was mesmerized by its interior design. It was far from what I imagined. Sighing, I tried to keep my heart which was in turmoil calm.After a while, I got rid of my anxiety and turned to look at the man sitting not too far from me.All of a sudden, I felt hot as all kinds of thoughts started to find their way into my head. Even though the AC in the car was switched on, I felt as though I was in the middle of a fire as I felt incredibly hot.For a moment, what filled my head was lewd scenes as I imagined what his dick was going to be like and how pleasurable it was going to be if he slid it in me."Excuse me, is anything wrong?" A voice suddenly came bringing me back to my senses."No, it's alright," I replied hurriedly as I felt rather embarrassed and my face went red.I was caught red-handed staring at him. Gosh, he was too hot and I couldn't resist him!I was afraid I would have already taken the next step if he hadn't snapped me back to reality."We've arrived." The man's voice came again, snapping me back to reality.I smiled embarrassedly and alighted from the car with Laurel and Leo. The huge villa in front of me was beyond my expectations, and for the second time,e I was mesmerized."I'll go get Lauren. You should take a seat." The man smiled as he pointed at the sofa right after we got in."You attend to her needs in case she needs anything." The man continued as he turned to a lady standing not far from him wearing maid attire."Yes sir." The lady nodded with a smile as the man disappeared into the inner part of the villa.Suddenly I frowned just as I was about to sit, Leo had messed up my clothes and I would need to change."Excuse me." I frowned, calling the attention of the lady."Yes ma'am." The lady nodded with a smile as she looked at me."I need to change my clothes." I frowned as I said."Sure, I do have some clothes you can make use of." The lady smiled as she looked at me.At the moment, I was very grateful as I hadn't even said what was on my mind. Seems like she was someone with a lot of goodwill."Just go in and turn to your left, then enter the fifth room." The lady continued as she smiled."Thank you." I smiled as I nodded and walked off toward the path she directed me to.Just as I entered, I suddenly got confused and realized that I had forgotten if I was to take my right or left. What I could remember was just the fifth room.After deliberating for quite a while, I decided it was to go to the right as that was what I could remember. I could only pray I was not going to enter the wrong room.After making my choice, I walked to my right and entered the room she said I should.Getting into the room, I felt a bit confused, though there was a wardrobe with a full set of ladies' clothes, the room looked like it had not been used for quite a long time other than the cleaning done by the maid.Well, it was none of my business. Pushing these thoughts out of my head, I proceeded to remove my shirt and was left with only my pink bra which cupped my breast tightly. Breastfeeding those hungry twins had made changes to my boobs, they're fuller, however, thanks to constant exercise, they're in good shape... Almost.I was facing the mirror admiring my body when suddenly the door of the room was pushed open.Catherine's PovAlarmed, I creased my brow and immediately spun around looking at the figure who had just opened the door.Looking at the person who entered, I froze for a moment as I stared at him. I immediately swallowed the curse that was about to erupt out of my mouth. "I'm... I'm sorry, I just wanted to ch...ch..." My stuttering was hushed down when he raised his hand. It was the same sexy man that brought me in, even now... He's looking so hot and so... So, familiar but to who?! ‘Focus Cathy, just focus.’ My good inner voice cautioned. I gulped down an empty air and stood still as he headed towards me with meaningful strides, his eyes were focused on mine and despite the little sanity left in me asking me to lower my gaze, I couldn't. His looks are mesmerizing me. He halted a few feet away from me and asked with a frown, "What are you doing here, young lass?" My heart began to beat violently against my chest and I was sure that if he was listening well, he'd hear it and pr
Catherine's Pov"Ma'am, come... This way." A servant said as she directed me to a room. Immediately she left me alone, I sighed again and again, despite trying to forget everything, I couldn't. What the hell had just happened? The scene ran through my mind once again and I couldn't help but blush.Gosh!I didn't know what to say at the moment, I didn't know why I didn't stop him. It was as if a mysterious force was telling me not to stop him. Besides, I enjoyed every bit of the moment and I didn't even feel any regret.‘Slut!’ Pushing the thoughts away from my mind, I quickly changed and walked out of the room back to the living room.Getting back to the living room, the man was already there and I couldn't help but blush embarrassedly as I sat on the sofa right in front."So mind telling me how you and Lauren met?" He asked with a smile as he looked at me.I was pleased that he was mature enough to forget everything that had happened a few minutes ago. It was just an accident and
Catherine's PovImmediately, I felt a jolt pass through my body cause I couldn't believe my ears, my whole being shivered with pain as his dagger-like words pierced through every part of me. What did Lauren just call me?A slut? No, I had to be the one who had heard him wrongly, there was no way he would have called me a slut."Lauren." Lucas's voice became stern as he called."Yes, Dad," Lauren answered as he looked at his dad."Do you know her?" Lucas frowned as he asked once again."No, I don't know her dad," Lauren replied as he glared at me, disdain evident in those eyes.If glares could kill, I was afraid I would have already died a hundred times over as Lauren seemed to hate me. What the hell had I done to him?He loved me and I loved him too? I was the one who was supposed to be angry as he left me to fend for myself and his babies for more than three years, but yet it was the other way round."Dad, why do you even think I would know someone like her? I mean just look at her,
Catherine's POVI watched the father of my twins walk away, after insulting, denying our kids, and calling me names, my legs wobbled, it suddenly felt like my legs were unable to carry my body weight and without warning, I felt my body give way. However, before I could fall to the floor, I felt someone catch me, taking me gently to a seat. My whole world seemed to have come crashing down without any form of warning... Everything had gone so wrong, so wrong. "Hey..." A distant husky voice called as I sat down in a trance trying to figure out if whatever happened just a few minutes ago was real... No! No!! It can't be, Lauren can't deny me, he loves me so much... Yeah, he loves me dearly."Here, drink this." The distant husky voice muttered again and I felt something in my mouth. I parted my lips lightly to take in whatever he was giving me, maybe that would quench the inferno of pain that was ravaging my inside. The liquid slowly entered my mouth but I couldn't swallow it, my throat
Catherine's POV."Eat all you want and enjoy all this luxury, pig, once the test result is out you'll find yourself within the four walls of the prison cell, you'll regret ever coming here to make useless claims." Anna lambasted as she sat down on the chair, taking her own cup of hot chocolate and spilling some content on the dining table due to a rough pull.I looked at her with a bored expression as I sipped my cup of coffee. I don't know why she'd decided to move into the mansion. From what I heard from the servants, she hasn't stayed here before. She comes to spend weekends but she doesn't stay for long on work days. "Good morning, Anna, it looks like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed considering your foul mood this morning, is there anything I can do to help you?" I asked with a sneer, a playful smirk carving on my face when I noticed her grip on the mug tightened. "Hey, darling, don't be so hard on yourself, I understand how you feel, if you can't find stability within y
Catherine's POV. "Where's Laurel?" I asked one of the servants playing with Leo. "Maaa..." Leo called immediately he sighted me and began walking towards me, showing me his baby teeth. I laughed as I took him and showered him with kisses, saying, "My sweet darling, just look how big you have become." Leo let out a childish giggle and my heart warmed up, all the grief I was feeling suddenly disappeared upon hearing his laughter. If not for anything, I'll definitely fight for them, they're my world reborn. Lauren has killed my world but with my kids, I am picking it up and building them up again. "Laurel slept off immediately after taking lunch, ma'am." The older woman replied and I couldn't help but smile. "Thank you so much and you don't have to address me formally, call me Cathy," I said with a smile and took a seat."That's not allowed here ma'am, Master Lucas would not like it if I call you by your name." The older woman said and I sighed, holding my baby firm."I am not comf
Catherine's POV. "You think you can play games with me huh? Do you think you can play a fucking game with me?!" Lauren asked angrily, drawing my hand to get my attention.Instead of focusing my attention on Lauren who was yelling at me, my mind and whole attention was on Lucas who was standing not too far from me, his eyes fixed on me. I tried to decipher his emotions through his eyes but I couldn't read anything, his eyes were blank. God! What has gone wrong? "Look at me when I'm talking to you, slut!" Lauren huffed angrily, shaking me violently.I did as he wanted, I looked him straight in the eyes but his Image was blurred, my inside was raging with confusion. What went wrong? "Look at you..." Lauren began, his hands on my shoulder and his finger digging into my skin in the process but I kept a straight face, "Do you think you can frame another man's children on me, Cathy?" He asked, his hold on my shoulders getting harder. "What are you talking about Lauren, you know those
Catherine's POV. "Dad, you can't do this, I mean why are you giving this slut here a chance to exploit us? Why are you even giving her a benefit of doubt? The test shows that Lauren isn't the father, what's all this?!" Anna asked angrily and I gave her a tired look, I'm just fed up with her drama."Look, beloved Anna, there's nothing bad about this, I'm just trying to do something that would justify everyone's claim. Don't stress yourself, the results will be here soon and everything will be cleared." Lucas said calmly and returned his attention to his phone."Gosh! Dad!! You're so unbelievable!!! You're driving me nuts, what's all this? It's like you're telling the world you don't trust me, you're making it look like you don't trust me in front of this village thing!" Lauren huffed pointing at me.I looked at him and sighed, it still bewildered me how a man who once showed me so much love and care suddenly became a ruthless uncaring man. I thought I found my own fairy tale and happi
Lucas's POV. I felt a rush of affection as I watched my Red, her nervous energy evident in the way she fidgeted with her wedding band. Despite her annoyance, I couldn't help but find her adorable and beautiful. "What's funny?" she snapped, catching me with a smile plastered on my face. I quickly tried to compose myself, not wanting to upset her further."Um, nothing," I replied, attempting to hide my grin. "Just thinking about how lucky I am to have the most beautiful woman in the world as my wife."She scoffed, her frustration evident as she rubbed her stomach. "Chill, baby. The doctor will be here soon for the ultrasound. You'll be fine, and the baby too."I leaned closer, planting a gentle kiss on her cheek, but her mood remained sour. "This isn't funny. I'm feeling strange and funny, but it's not funny," she complained, her tone tinged with worry."Don't worry, Mrs. Leonard," I reassured her, taking her hand in mine. "You'll be just fine. Calm down. You don't want the baby to be
Catherine's POV. I stepped out of the bathroom, relieved after a nice hot shower. I'm glad to be less busy again. I've taken a break from work, school's done and Lucas is mine for the taking. I was about to take another step when a hand grabbed me, pulled me and my body connected with a solid naked chest. "Lucas... What are you doing here? We agreed on tonight." I let out a whine as he buried his nose on my neck, sniffing me and making some murmurs I couldn't quite understand. "Well, I can't wait that long, I'm starving and I want you right now, I've got to have you baby. When last did we have a good fuck?" He asked as he began to suck my neck, his hand caressing my boob through the towel."Well, we had sex last two days." I reminded him, biting my inner cheek to stifle a moan. He chuckled and raised his head to look at me, "what we had doesn't even qualify for a quickie, you didn't allow me cum."I rolled my eyes, trying not to laugh, "Well, I was gonna miss my flight."Lucas gr
Catherine's POV. Finally, the day I've been eagerly waiting on for the past three months was here. It was my graduation day, and the academy was buzzing with celebration. The air was filled with laughter, chatter, and the distant hum of classical music. As I sat among my fellow graduates, basking in the joyous atmosphere, someone suddenly pulled me up and I was about to protest when I felt a warm breath against my ear."Congratulations on your graduation, darling, you're looking tempting and I couldn't stay far away from you," Lucas whispered, his voice tender but playful. His hand moved down, firmly grabbing my butt. My eyes widened in shock, and my mouth opened to shout, but I held back, glancing nervously around at the crowded hall.Turning to face him, I shot him a mock-angry look. "Lucas, we're in a crowded place for God's sake. Keep your hands to yourself for once!" I hissed, trying to sound stern.He grinned mischievously and gave my butt a light smack, causing my entire body
Catherine's POV. My eyes darted open lazily, and I stretched, yawning and breathing in the sweet masculine scent mixed with the scent of the car."Are you alright, baby?" His calm voice infiltrated into my ears, and my smile broadened as I raised my head from his shoulder to look at him."I'm fine... now that you're here." I pressed a light peck on his cheek, and he grabbed my head for a slow, sensual kiss that made me moan. His hand made its way to my boob and grabbed it. I bit back a moan when he rolled my hardened nipple between his fingers.Not able to take it anymore, I slapped his hand away, and he chuckled, looking at me as I struggled to gain control over my breath. "I've missed you so much, you know that, right?" He asked and drew me into a tight hug that made my body tingle."I know, baby. I miss you more. You have no idea how happy I am to have you back," I whispered back and withdrew from the hug to peck him again.He smiled, "I love you, Red. I love you so much.""And I
Catherine's POV. I staggered, but Aunt Maya held me, mumbling words I couldn't quite comprehend. My Lucas, he was alive, coming towards me. "Oh Lucas," I whispered, wanting to sprint forward and hug him tight, but I could not move, which was surprising.The crowd parted as he approached, gasps and whispers following him as he walks majestically towards us. "God!" I heard a familiar voice and turned in the direction.Lauren and Lily stood frozen, their faces a mix of shock and fear as they stared at their incoming doom. This wasn’t part of their plan. They never planned this.Without thinking about them much, I slowly returned my gaze to my incoming miracle. My sweet Lucas.He stopped a few feet away from me, his eyes locking onto mine, and I could see the sadness in them. "Red," he said, his voice strong and clear.Hearing his voice again brought goosebumps to my body, and I shivered, unable to say anything as hot tears of relief dropped from my eyes.Closing the gap between us, he u
Catherine's POV. Few days later. (At the LEO's Villa)"I'm so sorry for your lost sweetheart, I'm really sorry." Natty consoled me and I just gave her a weak smile. I'm mourning Lucas and worried sick about my children's safety. The burial would happen soon and after that, I would have to sign some fucking documents Lauren and Lily would bring, they promise to give me my kids after that. I don't know but I have this feeling that they would not let me go, they might not, they would want things to cool off first. I don't know what plans Lauren has in store for me but I know it would not be good. He had told me himself that he would... "God!" I cried, thinking of everything again.There are many people that came for the burial and I've received so many condolences from them. I'm burning and hurting inside because I couldn't bring the idiots responsible for this to justice. "Calm down darling, everything would be fine." Natasha Mom assured me but how do I tell her that nothing would
Catherine's POV. "Hello, Catherine. So good to see you again… in this pathetic condition," she grinned, sauntering toward me with an air of triumph. My heart contracted painfully at the sight of her, a deep sense of betrayal washing over me. "You... Why?" I choked out, struggling to comprehend her presence and actions. "Why would you do something like this, and with a man like him?! Do you know how evil and...""Spare me the bullshit about evil, Catherine, and let's get down to business," she snapped, cutting me off abruptly. I stared at her, unable to process the surreal nightmare unfolding before me. Lauren and her? It was unbelievable, yet here they were, united in their treachery. I wish nothing but to slash their throat and kill them now. She knew Lauren was going to kill Lucas, and she accepted it. What kind of twisted alliance was this?"Congratulations!" Her voice snapped me out of my daze, and I shot daggers at her, my heart clenching with renewed pain. "I'm sure Lauren ha
Catherine's POV. My head was heavy and aching due to the long hours of cries and screams. I don't know where I was but I know that it must be remote... Well, unless the room I was kept in was sound proof; that's the only possibility why my constant screams weren't being heard. I stopped screaming with that realization. My joints were hurting due to the restraints, the more I tried to move, the more it hurt so I accepted my fate. But the hardest part was accepting that Lucas was truly gone. The mere thought sent fresh waves of agony crashing over me, threatening to drown me in sorrow.I clung to the hope that it was all just a nightmare, a cruel trick of the mind that would vanish with the dawn and when I woke up, Lucas would be right by my side, kissing me and assuring me that everything was alright. Yet, the TV served as a relentless reminder of the harsh reality I faced. Lauren had specifically left it on, tuned to our local channel, where every broadcast seemed to hammer home th
Catherine's POV. As I struggled to regain consciousness, the sound of a faint voice penetrated the fog in my mind. It called out to me, calling me back to reality but I was too numb. "Hello... Hello, baby... Wake up, sweetheart. You don't plan to sleep forever, do you?" The voice urged me to open my eyes.Groaning softly, I forced my heavy eyelids to obey, squinting against the dim light filtering into the room. "C'mon, baby, wake up already," the voice continued, its tone playful yet impatient. "I can't stand you sleeping like this when you should be watching this fantastic news."My lips parted, but my voice was barely a whisper as I struggled to form words. "Lucas..." I managed to mumble, my throat dry and scratchy."Oh, finally awake, baby," the voice chuckled, and I frowned, the familiarity of it sending a shiver down my spine. It wasn't Lucas. Lucas' voice was always deep, reassuring and it never fails to do wonders to my body but this current voice filled me with an inexplica
