Catherine's POV. The sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on the tangled sheets. As I slowly opened my eyes, the events of last night flooded my consciousness like a tidal wave. Mixed emotions swirled within me, creating a storm I couldn't ignore."Lucas," I whispered his name, memories of last night rushing into me in waves and I couldn't help but smile despite the mixed emotions I was feeling.I shifted in the bed, feeling the pleasure ache of Lucas's touch on my skin. There was a warmth and intimacy that both scared and comforted me. What am I doing? Is this right? Questions circled in my mind and sat heavily on my soul. I had promised myself not to overthink again but here I am, doing that which I had promised myself not to do. "Gosh," I muttered, touching his side of the bed that was no longer warm, it meant he had been up for a while now. "Thank God it's Saturday," I muttered and stretched lazily on the bed, my whole body still aches but not as much a
A few weeks later. Catherine's POV. "Hey, Cathy!" A familiar feminine voice called immediately after I stepped out of the car that brought me to school.Thanking the driver who brought me to school, I turned towards the direction of the voice, and as predicted, it was Natasha, "Hey girl, what's up?" "Hi sweetie, how are you doing and how are the kids?" She asked and gave me a brief hug."I'm sweet, we're all good too, how's all and all with you?" I asked as we began to head up."I'm good, just that preparing for the upcoming competition is fucking tedious, I have so much to cover and there's very little time to cover up all." She whined and I smiled. "I understand girl but we've got to strive hard and do what we have to do, exams are coming up too. I'm tired, for real, I am.""I get it girl, you have so much on your head, you're a mother of two, you have to catch up with the school calendar and the competition around the corner, oh Lord! I think I'm gonna stop complaining to you,
Catherine's POV. "Oh my, I'm tired but it was worth it," Natty said with a mouth full as he chewed the food we made in practical class. We're learning continental dishes because of the upcoming global chef competition involving all the culinary academies all over the world. I love the practical classes, it's fun cause cooking has always been a part of me but when it comes to writing... Fuck it, I hate it, I don't know why can't there be just practical classes every day. "Stop chewing so loud, it's annoying." I chided Natasha but she didn't listen, she just continued to chew like her whole life depended on it, it's annoying but it was also funny. "Hi Cathy, where are you going after class?" A masculine voice asked and I turned to see who it was.My inside was surprised upon seeing David, one of the smarties in our class in front of me. He was also from an affluent family... What was I even saying, most people in this school are from big wealthy families. "Um, hello," I muttered,
Catherine's POV. My heart was thumping vigorously as I knocked on the door but when there was no answer, I creased my brow before looking at Natasha who just urged me to knock again, she used sign language asking me to knock the door harder this time and I did just that. "Come in." I heard a deep masculine voice and my body hair stood at attention.I looked at Natasha one more time and she gave me a thumb up with a pitiful look. Taking in a deep puff of air, I opened the door and stepped inside."Good... Good afternoon Sir." I stuttered the greetings, my heart still thudding loudly."Shut the door behind you." He commanded and I was quick to shut it, my eyes fixed on the man going through some books arranged neatly on his shelves.The office looks neatly organized and I couldn't help but admire the aesthetic of the office, it was really beautifully made. I was so lost in the beauty of the office that I temporarily forgot where I was."You may take your seat, Cathrine, I'll be with y
Catherine's POV. ‘You and Sam will be taking private classes together from now on.’ Professor Liam's words rang in my head as I headed towards my favorite part of the school to wait for the driver.I don't know but something just doesn't feel right, everything seems so wrong and deep within me, I have this crazy fear in me, it's puzzling but I feel it... I'm feeling it deep within me. Was I afraid?Phcct! Nah, I'm... Yeah, I'm not afraid. I'm just... ‘You're just what Cathy?’ My inner voice asked in some kind of mock. Unbelievable, even my inner voice mocks me now... I've been having fewer and fewer conversations with my crazy inner voices these days. ‘Cause you're no longer lonely and thanks to Lucas, you don't act like you're insane and need to be transferred to the psycho ward.’ That same voice screamed and I just rolled my eyes, not wanting to give it any audience.The school wasn't as lively as it used to be, it was already past five in the evening and the weather was surpr
Catherine's POV. Hopping out of the car, I tried very hard not to run inside when I saw Lucas's convoy in the compound. My toes were tingling to run, urging me to use them and do the needful but I keep my cool, I have to keep it cool, I do not have to behave like a child. Well... Technically, I am a child, I don't ever want to grow up, it feels good to be a child. Even when I'm old and gray, I'll still be a child. "Young Mistress." I heard one of the servants call and I wanted to cry, this isn't the time to stop me.Forcing my legs to a halt, I turned to look at the incoming young girl heading towards me, she should be older than me but looking at our body frame... I'll be termed older, I do not look my age. "Yes, Crystal, how can I help you?" I asked with gritted teeth, trying hard not to show in my face that I was greatly displeased by her interruptions. "Welcome home, Bella sent her regards, She let out with a smile and my eyes twitched."Oh, how's she doing?" I asked, my insi
Catherine's POV."I'm waiting for your order, sir, do you need anything, an energy drink perhaps?" I asked with a provocative smile and I heard the lady let out a little gasp but I didn't spare her any looks, my attention was on the man I was trying to provoke, I know he was mad at me but my sarcastic side couldn't help but come out to play, it's been long since I let it out. The room suddenly felt suffocated and judging from the burning look he was giving me, I knew what was coming.I won't be stretching the point when I say I'm in deep trouble."Ms. Mason here was just leaving." He declared, his eyes still fixed on me. "Well, that wasn't what it looked like when I walked in or did I land in another universe?" I asked, taking a thinking posture and I heard him grunt."Alright, I will be going now, see you tomorrow at work, boss." The young woman said and I rolled my eyes before giving her a chilly look.So, having office romance wasn't enough for her, she had come here to continue.
Catherine's POV. As our lips rubbed against each other gently, my body clenched in anticipation. I want this man, I want him badly but that doesn't mean I'll forget the fact that he was almost kissing his worker right here in his study room. "Tell me what you desire Red, tell me what your body wishes for?" He asked, his breath fanning my face and I could almost taste the wine in his breath."You were kissing another woman in your study room Lucas, you have me here, why bring another?" I asked in an almost breathless voice."Oh fuck, Red, that's not what it was, I... I would explain that later but believe me, there's nothing between us, well, there was some kind of sexual relationship but that was almost a year ago." He explained and I rolled my eyes. I was still feeling that silly feeling in me and I can't seem to control it despite wanting to. Jealousy is such a stupid feeling.What I don't fucking understand was why I was jealous."She came here for more I guess," I mumbled and h
