Catherine's POV

The ride home was a silent one. I kept peeping at Lucas, but he avoided my gaze almost all the time. Every time I tried to initiate a conversation, he would only nod or make a mumbling sound that made me want to just whack his head because he was really misbehaving, and I wanted to let him know that I would not tolerate such from him.

But whacking him now might probably let that beast in him that he was trying hard to control out. He might not do anything to me, but he would probably end up leaving me alone in this car to join the other car.

"Lucas..." I called, moving towards him, my eyes fixed on his rigid figure that sat far away from me. He seemed distant. I didn't want my Lucas to be distant from me. I wanted him closer to me. I wanted him to cuddle me.

"You should rest. We'll soon be home," he muttered, and by grace, I could hear him this time around.

Moving closer to him again, I said, "Thank you."

"For what?" He asked without turning to look at me. His action h

  • Sinful Desire.    Chapter 88: He has to listen.

    Catherine's POV.A few days later."Don't worry, darling, everything will die down soon. It's normal for people to gossip; they would talk about what happened until it bore them. Just don't show that whatever they're saying matters to you, and I promise you that you'll be just fine," Natty assured me as we left class to head home.It had been four days since the unfortunate incident with Sam happened, and the school had been buzzing about it. I could say that most students probably feared me now, and some wanted to get close to me, but I wasn't interested in any of them.Because of the different gossip, Natasha thought I was bothered by it, but she didn't know what bothered me was far too great. I don't care if they would gossip about it for years; I have grown past that. I am almost twenty-three, and I didn't have time to listen to gossip."Cathy, are you alright? You look lost again. I told you that everything would be alright. The competition will be held in less than two months; y

  • Sinful Desire.    Chapter 89: Another Woman.

    Catherine's POV.The drive back home seemed to take forever, and I restrained myself from swatting the driver and asking him to drive faster. I hated it when the driver came to pick me up. Not only was he slow, but the thought of killing the driver always came to my mind, just like the thought of being with Lucas always seeped into my mind. It's kind of strange how things changed within a short period of time...It's all funny and sad. I always looked forward to having Lucas come to pick me up or maybe going to meet him at home, but all that was gone now. My Lucas had ghosted me. It was like I didn't even exist for him anymore, and it hurt so much. It hurt badly, to the extent that tears had become my daily companion.But not anymore. I was done crying. I had given him enough time to get over the issues, but since he didn't want to, I would take things into my own hands and knock some sense into him. It was high time I showed him that the fire he once saw in me was still present, and

  • Sinful Desire.    Chapter 90: Why, Lucas?

    Catherine's POV.Bella's words echoed in my mind as I raced to where I thought Lucas would be, my heart pounding in my chest like a constant drumbeat. Every step felt heavier than the last, loaded with the weight of uncertainty because I didn't know what to expect... Another woman? Nah, this must be a prank; Lucas would never.But... But what if he did?My heart raced with a desperate beat at the thought, fear, confusion, and heartache flowing through my veins. The thought of another woman in Lucas's life sent a chill down my spine, filling me with a gnawing sense of dread that threatened to consume me whole.I didn't know why I was feeling so scared, why I feared deeply. I'd been hurt before... Good God! Please, I didn't want to be hurt again, please.The image of Lucas's face, once filled with love and tenderness, haunted me like a ghost, and despite my racing heart, I had to smile because Lucas was the best thing that had happened to me after the kids. He had become the whole unive

    Lucas's POV."Oh shit, fuck me harder, Lucas, please!!" Lily moaned, and I let out a sigh when I saw Catherine run away from my doorstep."Lucas... Please...hard...""ENOUGH!" I barked angrily at the woman who was faking moans not too far from me… dang! I hate her moans… I hate every woman's moans except my Red's. Thinking about her moans has ways of turning me on. "I'm... Why?" She asked, turning to look at me with a flushed face."Cause she's gone, see for yourself," I said, pointing at the laptop screen which showed clear footage of my front door."Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't know she was gone," she said and began to head towards me, but I raised my hand to halt her, my eyes shooting daggers at her."Don't come near me, dress up and leave, Marcos will credit your account soon," I informed her and waved her away, but she didn't move; she just stood there, staring at me, and I just sighed before I turned my focus away from her.I am so sorry, Red. I... I'm doing this for your good, fo

  • Sinful Desire.    Chapter 92: A psycho.

    Three weeks later.Catherine's POV."Darling, eat something. You've lost your glow. How can you cook and not eat?" Bella asked, and I just gave her a feigned smile.Yeah, she's right. I cook a lot now. I've been practicing with various continental dishes because the competition is only a few weeks away, and I have to up my game. I took classes, and attended different cooking competitions; Lucas sponsored my trips to some famous chefs around the world. But in all these trips... he was never there. It affected me at first, and I would be lying if I said it wasn't still affecting me. But I've learned to turn my pain into my superpower. It's hard not to do anything without Lucas, but I know that I would be on the losing end if I didn't get serious with my life. Wallowing in self-pity would only affect me."I'm fine, Bell. I just lost my appetite. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Besides, I took some snacks and fruit shakes," I said with a yawn before focusing on my laptop again."Can y

  • Sinful Desire.    Chapter 93: My Baby

    Catherine's POV."Oh Lord!!!" The scream tore from my lips as I stared at the text from Bella, my heart hammering against my chest. With trembling hands, I pushed my chair back, drawing the attention of everyone in the classroom."What's wrong, Catherine?" The professor's concerned voice barely registered as I fought to control my racing thoughts and the tears threatening to spill over."My... My baby," I managed to choke out, my voice barely above a whisper.Without waiting for further questions, I snatched my bag and bolted out of the classroom, the urgency of the situation propelling me forward. Ignoring the calls of Natty and her concerned inquiries, I dashed down the corridor, my only focus on reaching my child."Cathy! Cathy!! Wait up!!!" Natty's voice called behind me, but I couldn't pause to explain. My mind was consumed with fear and worry for my baby.Outside, I hailed a taxi, my hands shaking as I gave the driver hurried directions. Just as the car started to pull away, Nat

  • Sinful Desire.    Chapter 94: Run & I'll Chase

    Catherine's POV."Wrong baby formula?" I asked the doctor, who nodded his head in affirmation."The baby formula he took didn't conform with his system and hence it led to food poisoning, but as I've enunciated, he's okay now, he's such a healthy one." The doctor replied, and I just sighed but nodded my head in appreciation."Thank you so much, doctor," Lucas stood up and shook the hand of the doctor."It's always an honor to serve your family, sir," the doctor said with a broad smile, and I just sighed, stood up, and began to head out.Once I stepped out of the room, I saw the anxious-looking Natty and Bella. I almost forgot about Natty. "Hi babe, thank you so much for coming," I said with a smile, and she only gave me a smile before asking,"What about the baby?""He's fine. The doctor said it was the wrong formula. Leo is in perfect condition now," I replied, and both of them sighed in relief."I'm sorry, Cathy, I fed them. The nanny was on sick leave, so I had to feed them. I'm tr

    Catherine's POV."Take Leo in and pet him to sleep, don't allow him to play around, alright?" I asked Bella, who nodded her head in affirmation before taking Leo from my arms."Bye maaa," he waved as Bella took him in. I waved back until they entered the elevator.I heard footsteps behind me, and I swiveled around, only to see Lucas coming towards me with a blank expression.Once he was in, I blocked his path, and he looked at me with a frown. "What do you want, Catherine?" He asked, his voice deep.The way he was behaving coldly towards me nearly made me give up, but I swallowed my pride and hurt before moving my hand to touch him, but he held it midway and gave me a stern expression that would scare the shits out of anyone, but he should know that I'm not just anyone."I'm Catherine now, huh, daddy?" I asked with a smirk before using my free hand to roam his chest. He let out a grunt and caught that one too."What happened to Red, Lucas? Don't you like calling me Red again?"I leane

    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.

  • Sinful Desire.    Chapter 140: The Feel Of You.

    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
