Catherine's POV.

I let the tears that had blinded me fall as I neared my room... I felt ridiculous, worthless, and unwanted. Well, I was always unwanted but today seems so obvious and real, all those secure walls I've built around myself came crashing down in shattered pieces as the hot tears cascaded down my cheeks.

I opened my door and banged it shut angrily, the shoes were beginning to hurt my toes so I kicked them off and they flung in different directions, "I should... I shouldn't have gone there, I shouldn't have." I sobbed and fell on the floor with a soft thud, raised my legs, and rested my chest on them as I began to cry hard again.

"Fvck you, Lauren, fvck you for everything you used your stupid mouth to say about me...you..." I inhaled sharply and let out a raspy breath, "You're... You're a pathetic loser." I wailed hard and my chest felt compressed the more, utter devastation pulsed through my veins because the pain I was in was slowly consuming and making me sick.

    Catherine's POV. "I don't regret inviting you down to dinner but you disappointed me." He let out after a few seconds of ghost silence."Huh?" I mused as I turned to look at him, "What did I do?" I asked and my brain began to think of a hundred and thousands of reasons he'll be disappointed in me. What did I do to displease him? "Guess." He muttered with a half smile that didn't even reach his face. I tilted my head back and sniffed in before saying, "I stink at guessing, just tell me what you want to tell me, what did I do that displeased you?" "You're really no fun, Cathy." He said and I wanted to slap myself. Maybe that would bring me back to reality because this man was making me feel weird... Is this real? Lucas just told me I'm no fun, does he know the right definition of no fun? I'd have gladly told him if he asked because no fun was right in front of me. "Hello..." He said, snapping his finger on my face and I looked up at him, "You're looking lost, what's up?" He asked

He asked back and I opened my eyes wide in surprise, my lips parted to bring out words but I was speechless. "Answer me Red hair, did I ask you to keep mute and watch other people ridicule you, call you names? Did I?" He asked again and I sighed, totally stunned by the new turns.I'm entirely surprised by this new man sitting in front of me, talking to me with respect, "I just don't want to ruin things, people believe that I ruin lots of things so... I don't even know what to do, I'm just surprised right now." I expressed sincerely, astonished and unable to truly understand whatever was going on. "I know how hard life has been with you Catharine, but I want you to trust yourself, trust those invisible scars you've earned in the process of all the struggles you've been through in life, trust your experience, and don't let anyone bel

    Catherine's POV. "That smells delicious, thank you so much, Bella, thanks a lot," I enunciated in excitement and Bella just smiled as she dropped the plate of cake on the table. "You did most of the baking, now let's hope and pray that the master is pleased by it. I wonder what you did that made him so mad, he hardly gets mad." She said and I was quick to move towards the refrigerator to get a drink that would go with the cake. "You don't have to talk about it, just know that master Lucas is a very nice man, he's temperamental and has his bad traits like every human but he always puts his family first, you're extremely lucky to have his favor, in a real sense, you're blessed because he seems interested in you." She added and I blushed as I took the drink I needed.It feels good to hear her say those things about Lucas and how lucky I was to find favor in his eyes. I feel extremely lucky yet I'm apprehensive. I acted rudely to him three days ago and there's no second that passes whe

    Catherine's POVI looked up at him firmly and squarely, squinted my eyes, summoned my powerful voice, and declared, "MR. LUCAS LEONARD, I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU RIGHT NOW AND YOU SHALL LISTEN." His frown deepened and I could see him from the corner of my eyes dropping the book he was holding, then slowly but steadily, he began to take meaningful strides towards me and all my boldness evaporated because I began to take shaky steps backward. I moved backward till my back hit something solid... Oh no, not this awkward position again! His finger lifted my chin and I stared at his deep blue, his Cologne was intoxicating me and it would only be a matter of time before I'd pass out... I should have left when he told me to... I should have because I'm not ready to handle this intoxicating enigma. "What did you say, Red Hair?" He asked, his breath fanning my face and I could almost taste the coffee he took. "Not...nothing..." I stuttered and his frown deepened, he closed the gap between us,

    Catherine POV. "That's... That's not what I meant Lucas, I am so sorry." I muttered an apology but he seemed unfazed by it, it was like he didn't even hear anything I said.With a dark chuckle, he asked me again, "What made you think that I'm treating you like Lauren, Catharine?" He asked and I gulped down an empty air to stay sane. "I told you I'm sorry, it was a slip of the tongue, I was angry at you and you wouldn't even listen to whatever I have to say, all you do is give me that intimidating look and I'll lose every proficiency to think," I said in a breath and he creased his brow."What?" He said in what seemed like confusion but I wasn't buying anything, Lucas can't be confused."Yeah, I can't think straight when you're so close to me, you drive me nuts with insane silly thoughts and that masculine scent of yours sent me into a world I don't know..." I paused to take a sharp raspy breath,"You don't understand, you don't know how you make me feel, you don't know how your snob

    "Red hair..." He breathed out my name and I moved closer to him, those alluring lips calling to me. "Lucas..." I muttered his name and those lips unfurled into a smile that made my heart somersault. "What do you want, Red hair?" He asked in a hoarse voice and I blinked rapidly.What do I want?You, Lucas... I just want you... You.But instead of saying what's in my head, I just stared at him... Waiting for him… waiting for him to do the needful but he just stared at me too."I'm sorry if my action hurt you, Catherine, I'm so sorry." He mussed and he began to lower his head towards mine. That insane part of me that had wanted more jumped up in happiness.My eyes drifted close as I waited but instead of feeling those lips on my mouth, I felt their moist warmth on my forehead. I felt disappointment surge through me but I ravish the connection of his lips on my skin. He suddenly moved away from me and I was quick to flip my eyes open to see what went wrong but I just saw those deep blu

    Three Weeks Later. Catherine's POV. "So this is Lilian, she's the new nanny that would watch Leo and Laurel while you school. I've employed her full service so she'll be staying here always." Lucas introduced the girl he'd brought home.My heart swells with happiness because this man was doing so much for me, "It's nice to meet you, Lilian, my name is Catharine." I said with a smile, extending my hand to the girl.She took the hand with a smile,"It's a pleasure to be here ma'am and I hope my service will make you satisfied." She said with a bowed head and I sighed.All these formalities are driving me nuts but I'm helpless because no matter how many times I correct them, they'll still say it over and over again so... I give up. "Come dear, I'll show you to your room," Bella said and the girl took a slight bow before leaving with her. Turning to look at Lucas whose eyes were fixed on his laptop, I let out, "Thank you for everything you're doing for me but is this really important?"

    Lucas's POV. My fist clenched hard when I saw Catherine's eyes clouded with tears and I knew that it would be a matter of time before those tears fell. She'd been strong enough, she's extremely strong and that's what I admired most about her, however, my ludicrous son has ways of always making her cry. "I'm listening, Lauren, what are you talking about?" I asked, my voice raspy. I tried very hard to resist the urge to stand up and assure my Red Hair that everything would be alright, she looked nervous, disturbed, and weary. "Dad, I'm just gonna give you a choice 'cause I'm getting tired of this silly everyday drama, she's ruining our life and her presence is putting this family in jeopardy, I'm tired of her, I'm tired of seeing her stupid ugly face here!" Lauren ranted and I rolled my eyes. I wondered what was wrong with him. "Can you go straight to the point or will you keep ranting like some madman? I don't have time for all these, Lauren, either you state what you wish to say o

    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

"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
