“LINDSEY—”“Shhh!”Lindsey immediately hushes her husband Harry for disturbing her on her investigation regarding the person who happens to save Cath during one of the challenges that Adriella gave. “Why are you so invested in that? For all we know, he is just a random guy who happened to be there at the right time and help Cath.”Harry’s reason and deduction. Convincing Lindsey to stop investigating someone and invading their privacy might put her in trouble in the end. “I do not think so.”Lindsey insist and had a little bit to engross with that stuff for a while. Wherein Harry was able to pull her out of it from last night’s celebration. “Aren’t you too invested in your brother’s life?”Harry pointed the fact out that Lindsey even proudly agrees with it. “You know what happened to Sam when his marriage fails. I do not want to see him like that ever again.”Her firm resolve and the reason why she is both on the side of her older brother and best friend. Kept their secrets from e
“ONE way or another, I will find who you are.”Lindsey’s words and determination. More than the person who is in the situation, she immediately drives her car to the place where the orphanage is. Hitting the gas, she speeds up to get to the said place and fast. “Yes, Lindsey Lawrence speaking.”She immediately accepts the call through her Bluetooth headset and receives the words from her stepmother Adriella. “Mom.”A bit alerted, for she didn’t expect Adriella to call her at this time. Especially since Adriella knew that she is currently in the office of their construction company together with Harry.“You called?”She calms herself, thinking of the perfect reason to tell her. “Where are you?” Adriella’s voice from the other end of the call. “I called Harry’s secretary thinking that you two are together, but he informs me that neither one of you went to the office.”Adriella’s suspicion and sharp intuition Lindsey admits is a disadvantage in this situation. Especially she assures h
“I SEE. Sorry to bother your meeting with your team. By the way, call me when you are done with your work. We still need to prepare for the Governor’s party.”With the assurance that she heard from Sam and the fact that Harry is with him along with Brian. She is left with assurance and confidence in that fact. The thing that remains now is the urgency to show herself in front of her future daughter-in-law.“Let’s see how you will handle things, Catherine Wayne.”Now looking at the information that is not that hard for her to dig and find out. He clicks her tongue and smiles knowingly, taking all her plans to a halt and even changing since the woman that her son choose is someone that is more than meets the eye. “A journalist, a nanny, and my son’s woman. Which one is the real you? Or perhaps none of those things, Catherine?”With a threatening voice and a disappointed look. She throws the folder that contains all the information that she had, sliding it on top of her table and showin
MORE than just surprise, Cath holds on to her seat upon realizing where she is being taken. “Where are we?”She asks by impulse while tightly gripping the seat and composing herself from the response that she knew, yet she wanted that particular confirmation. “Someone’s following us.”Taken a back and shaken. Yet, Cath didn’t show even a little ounce of expression that they could read about her. They didn’t just ignore her question, but deliberately made her know that someone and by means Nadia is following them. “Three o’clock.”One of the men said, now holding a radio at hand and about to call for backup that Cath knew and is worried about. But then. “Stop.”The one driving immediately told the person sitting in the passenger seat. The one who is been communicating with her if necessary. All after noticing that the one they thought is tailing them drives towards the right side of the road. “No need.”He added, which made Cath relax and felt that relief. Knowing that Nadia is ou
LINDSEY pulled her car to the side, closed the door, and looks at the orphanage that is still operating and full of life for decades now. “Get the ball!”Her attention is taken upon hearing the voices of the kids and a ball rolling unto her feet. She smiles takes it and looks at the adorable little boy approaching her. “Hello.”She warmly smiles, greeting the little boy who smiles wide, waves his hand, and replies.“Good morning beautiful lady.”Lindsey chuckles, and she couldn’t help but smile even wider and a bit forgot where she came from after meeting such an adorable little boy with a flowering tongue. “Can I have the ball back?” The little boy asks, which she gladly did so. Earning one wide and cute smile from the little boy she started wondering how endearing and fulfilling it could be if she had a son with Harry. But with her husband’s medical condition in such, she had already long gone forgotten about it. “Here you go.”“Are you here for an adoption?”The little boy sud
FEELS like she is on her way to a battlefield, but instead of ammunition, bomb, guns, and a fleet of soldiers backing her up. Cath is armed only with her wit and words, minus the troupes that could back her up against the Queen that she is about to meet. “This way Miss Wayne.”She followed, entering the largest corporation in the state. From the working crowd and directed into the VVIP elevator. She put her best face forward and cam her nerves, setting her mind to be prepared for anything that might happen. “Miss Wayne.”The elevator door opens, leading her into a seemingly long hallway that she knew is a bit influenced by how her mind is working right now. “Alright.”Cath conditioned herself, stopping at the door where a man in a suit greeted her. Different from the rest, where she can tell the difference at first glance. She knew that it was the Queen’s trusted secretary. “Please come in, Miss Wayne.”With a bow as of respect towards her, he opened the door beckoning her to ente
ADRIELLA casually and in sophistication served Cath tea. Jasmine tea, which is her favorite. Comfortably sitting back on her chair and observing Cath’s wide eyes at the information that she just showed her. She took a few sips of her tea, smiled, and said. “I believe that we are on the same page, Cath.”Cath took a deep breath, composing herself and her mind from what she just figured out and realizes by that exact moment.“Who are you? The real you, Adriella?”The question that Adriella expects to hear from Cath. The usual question that anyone would ask while the other party would get after all the truth that was just laid right in front of them. “You already know who am I. not to mention, Jun and Nadia’s engagement and deeper about the three of us. But not telling Sam the truth and most especially what I came here for and initially. What exactly do you want, Adriella?”A confrontation that Cath wanted to end. Her questions that she wanted some answers and immediately. For in betw
“Impressive. I never thought that I could have a smart and tactical soon-to-be daughter-in-law.”Adriella commended Cath and was more than just impressed with the young lady’s grasp of the entire situation and quick. Something she knew about Cath, she had already seen from her, yet she wanted to prove it to herself and once more that Sam choose the right woman this time around. “The Chairman of the RD Corporation is someone that is more than meets the eye.”Cath’s reply, her compliment towards Adriella, and how cunning and calculating she is. A bit about her that Lindsey got, and she can say that had the greatest influence on Sam and the success that he got in the business. A total turn of difference from what she knows about him then. “I would like to say that I haven’t researched about you before I came back to meet Sam. But I never imagine that you are this calculating for hiding some facts, important facts that even my friend could dig about you.”Cath’s calculating words, give
