BEEN in a public market multiple times in the past, especially in the early years after she runs away to chase her dream with a broken heart. Cath is a bit confident that she can pull her first task off, for how hard could it be to buy everything from the list?

“And I shouldn’t have thought that.”

She disappointedly whispers to herself upon seeing the long list of ingredients that Adriella wanted her to buy and carry alone from the public market.

“Such a long list.”

Deeply wanted to complain, yet she restrains herself from doing it. It is as clear as the sunny morning that Adriella wanted for her to end up without any arms to use at the end of an hour.

“You do have the list and the money, right?”

Adriella made sure, almost running just to catch up on her, and quickly gave her a basket for the ingredients that she will be buying.

“I do, thank you.”

Cath awkwardly smiles, knowing that at this point she shouldn’t be rubbing the wrong side and making Adriella upset in any way. Especial

    TOO much chaos in a day, yet Cath couldn’t just back away when someone, as entitled as this woman in front of her, insulted her in the worse possible way. “Wasting food is a sin. Do you know how many people are starving? And just for a piece of meat, you think that you can act like an uncivilized person?”Her blood is boiling. For is there is one thing that will tick Cath’s patience, that is wasting a portion of good food. “Not on my watch.”She immediately took the already broken eggs and throws them all to the entitled woman she’s thinking now as ‘Karen’. “You, bitch!”That entitled ‘Karen’ screams in anger and throws her tomatoes that were from the entitled woman’s basket. But quick and witted, Cath caught it all one by one and put the tomatoes in her basket. Which in turn amuses the crowd and cheers for her. “I told you, didn’t I? You shouldn’t waste food this good.”Now a bit contradicting since she throws the broken eggs at that entitled woman. The ‘Karen’ blows in rage and

    “WHO the fricking hell is that guy!”Lindsey screams while Harry is trying to control her temper and her words while they are inside their car and spying on Cath. “Calm down will you Lindsey.”He convinces his wife who is a bit an hour on the edge of running to aid Cath ever since the trouble that Cath just went through. But worse this time when they are seeing Cath with the man Lindsey is smelling trouble. “How could I calm down? Didn’t you see just how he acted like the chivalric knight towards Cath? If he trying to steal my brother’s future wife.”On edge and dismayed, but more like in rage. Lindsey is troubled and in a panic about what is happening and how her mind is playing at her and the possibility of it all. “Will you hold your horses for a bit Lindsey?”Harry almost screams, scolding his wife but not to the point that Lindsey will burst crying at him, for not being used to him scolding her.“Let’s not jump to conclusion and take it one step at a time.”Harry reasons that

    “TSK!”Adriella click her tongue and rolled her eyes protesting about how Sam is looking at her right now. “I know what you are thinking right now and trying to say to me, Sam. But we already talked about this and I am not backing away from what I have started.”Adriella emphasizes and stands by her decision. Which makes it a bit frustrating to Sam, knowing how difficult his mother is trying to make Cath do. “But isn’t this a bit too much?” Sam tries to convince Adriella, playing the card of having that pity and a bit of consideration. “You know that I chose her, mom.”With a hint and two that the two of them are a bit running in circles. Adriella smiles, proud and impressed by how Sam is playing for the sake of a woman. “So, you investigated?” She figures out and more or less is now aware that Sam knew that she did further digging not just about Cath’s background, but the past that includes Sam’s stupidity towards Cath. “Your past and what you did does not mean anything from wha

    “THEN, I’ll be waiting impatiently for the entire day.”Sam teases smiling widely. Flustered and a bit playing, Cath pushes him out of the twins’ room. Closes the door and heads back to finish one of the hundred tasks that Adriella wanted her to do. “Are you two will have a date later?”Monique asks curiously, but then again with a bit of a sly smile that Cath knew and is used to by now from the witty little daughter of Sam.“I’ll leave that thought for the both of you to imagine.”The twins then giggle, knew her a bit deeper by now. “And that’s enough for the both of you. Let’s hurry or you will be late for school.”She reminded, but in truth is just evading the twin’s teasing that is greatly influenced by their aunt Lindsey herself. “Yes ma’am.”The twins salute in the wrong way playing with her and still. Letting it pass, Cath attended to everything down from their school uniforms, to the twins' school stuff and making sure that everything is complete. “Monique, in here.”Cath

    “YOU need to step up your game Catherine Wayne.”Lindsey pins the facts and the words with her burning eyes toward Cath. Serious and more that is not like her, but saying Cath’s name in full is enough for Cath to take her seriously too. “My mom is one hell of a strict one. She doesn’t want anything less than perfection.”Lindsey emphasizes that added the burden and knowing fear from her words of intimidation towards Cath. That though she doesn’t mean it that way, it is showing. “I am here to help you and at the same time warn you, Cath.”Her determination and a bit go against Adriella’s plan and back. Yet, she is thinking that nothing at this point is wrong, for both of them her mother, only wanted the best for Sam. The best one that she thinks to be and only is Cath. "Mom is hard to please, but once you find her weak spot you will end up holding the winning trophy in your hands, securing your future in the family.”A bit dramatic, yet Lindsey is all that, and Cath is used to it ev

The typical awkward situation that she doesn’t want to be into especially with Adriella’s presence. “Well, if your mommy doesn’t mind if I will.”Sam added and teasing Cath more. Which Cath finds not funny even a bit, smiling sheepishly towards Sam. “Do you mommy?”The twins ask her and in unis

Especially the son of the politician who in turn is giving a high amount of donations to the school. “We understand your sentiment.”He explains, keeping everything cool inside the principal’s office is about to get chaotic. “If you do, then do your part and take this seriously.”Adriella defended and strongly demanded, eyeing the four boy’s nannies who are in the middle of a situation where they couldn’t say or do a thing. “We will, do not worry Ma’am.”The principal and director of the school calm Adriella.

    “HOW long has it been since then, Leo?”The expected meeting, but the unexpected expression and tone that is in a mix of disappointment and anger that Cath is showing right in front of him. Left alone in the headmistress office and at first glance they are seem to share a casual tea time. He looks down, not in shame, but a bit of worry from how things unfolded. Which makes him think if he is regretting his decision of giving Cath a clue about the past.“Or should I call you now with your known name, Aaron?”“Tell me, do you hate me that much after what you have learn, Cath?”“Hate you? Why should I? You didn’t do anything to me which needed me to resent you. Instead I am the one who should be asking you of that question, for I failed to recognize my old friend.”Old friend. The words that means more than the shallow meaning of it. Words that will disappoint anyone, for it means more than just a rejection, but a total abandonment towards someone who only thinks about one person and dea

Francis stands before Cath, with his gun up a bit shaking from his wound, but directly pointing it towards her. “I may stupidly fail at first, but this time I will not fail to end your life. You who put me behind bars, Catherine Wayne.”“Cath!”Two familiar voices echo in the air, but before Cath could look and see for herself who could those two people be?

Do not let go no matter what happens and wait for her to say so. “Do you understand, Cole?”“Alright, aunt Lindsey.”The little boy replied and quickly borrow his face to Lindsey’s chest. Being an obedient child, Lindsey could feel the fear of her nephew with Cole’s shaking body and cold hands. “Stop, or find yourself swimming in your blood.”More than a familiar voice and the only person right now that Lindsey could think of who. She slowly looks back and is not surprised to see the Governor, no, Francis, pointing a gun right in front of her and with a cursing look on his face. “Just how low could you go for doing this to our family? Are you desperate to establish your dominance over us that you are going this far for your selfish desire?”“Low? Who, me? Tsk! Do not make me laugh Miss. Lindsey Lawrence.”Their exchange made it clear and more than to Linds

Just how many it is right now?”Suddenly reminisced and the similar danger that she took and choose for her career and passion. She chuckles and a bit rested behind a large tree.

Starling Cole awake, that worried Cath even more than she is under a lot of stress right now. “Lindsey, are you alright?” “I am. I am just startled.” “Mom? Mommy?” “Cole.” They both immediately coax the child back to sleep. Lindsey covered Cole’s ears while hugging the little boy tight into her arms. “Mommy, aunt Lindsey, what is happening?” “Don’t worry Cole, that was just nothing, just go back to sleep.” Relieved that the little boy is still sleepy and that it didn’t give them the hard time to coaxing it back to sleep.
