Taming The CEO's Heart CHAPTER 166
“HOW foolish I am not to realize this sooner?”Cath blames herself. Torn between what’s right and wrong, and now thinking about her relationship with Sam. “This has gone too far. I shouldn’t have done this stupid assignment in the first place.”Her working regret, and for a while talking herself out of it. But her heart is screaming aloud at her otherwise. “This is not the time to be thinking about this Cath, focus.”She reminds herself and put her mind to the current facts and what she needed to do.“Settle everything once this whole charade is resolved.”The decision that Cath came upon and fast. Holding her phone tight and called Nadia. “I am here at the corner street---”She informs Nadia and waits for her to fetch her up after her encounter with Adriella and the unexpected things that she learns from her. “Alright.”With the confirmation and two, Nadia’s car is almost to where she is when a black van and black tainted windows suddenly stop in front of her. The door of the van

‘RUTH.’The only name that immediately registered inside Cath’s mind. ‘SO, SHE DECIDED TO COME OUT EARLY IN THIS LITTLE GAME OF THEIRS.’Her thoughts and words perfectly describe the right hand of Francis. Expecting Ruth to be in the circle, but not this early.‘DESPERATE?’Cath thinks it to be that way. Weighing the facts and the things that happened so far. ‘NO.’ She immediately protested and connected the dots. ‘SOMEONE ELSE IS BEHIND HER.’The thoughts and deductions that Cath immediately got and is thinking right now. Knowing Francis, he is not the type to jump into reckless things such as this. Knowing and smart enough that they will immediately know that he had something to do with it and is the mastermind behind such. ‘BEING THE GOVERNOR, HE HAD A REPUTATION TO HOLD. INSTRUCTING RUTH FOR THIS LITTLE CHARADE IS UNLIKE HIM AT ALL.’Her deduction and the firm grasp of the idea that there is someone else on Francis's side. But. ‘HOW DID SHE?’Cath wonders, alarmed and deep. In

“NOT a single sound.”Adrenaline rush pumps to Cath’s blood when a hand grabs her from behind and covers her mouth. Drags her into a corner and tightly holds her waist. “Let go!”She fought and right back instantly. Biting that person’s hand immediately let her go. Cath took a step, turns around, and pointed her gun toward the culprit.“Don’t make a move.”Her demand in almost a whisper. When. “Cath.”Surprise and somehow doesn’t want it to be real. Cath immediately drops the gun, teary eyes, and protests. “What are you doing here---”Her words are immediately cut when the same hand grabs her waist and arm pulling her into a tight hug. “I’m sorry. I should have been much more attentive with everything.”Cath’s tears are already falling, while she is trying to stay strong and not completely break out. “But putting yourself in this kind of danger is not a bit acceptable. So, rest assured that I will be punishing you and hard after all of this.”Fear sinks in but not for herself, b

A gunshot is fired, creating a chain reaction that started that exchange. “Cath!”Sam immediately grabs Cath’s arm, pulled her to his chest, and covers her away from the sea of a gunshot that is being exchanged from the opposite direction. “Trust me!”He screams, which left Cath to do what he wanted. Pulling both of them behind a machine and away from the firing range. But Cath drops her gun, which kicks her into fight mode, and pulled away from Sam. “What are you doing, Cath?”Sam protested, but he wasn’t been able to grab a hold of Cath’s arm. Slipping her away from his grasp. Then and there, Cath jumps down with her body to grab her gun. “Damn!”He curses, a bit struggling to stand but adrenaline is pumping all over his body and he immediately caught up to Cath. “Sam, get down!”Cath screams, pulling Sam down and behind her. Gun in her hand she points it toward one of her kidnappers and fired a shot directly unto the head. But the trigger of its gun is already pulled by that k

“NO, PLEASE.”The words that only form inside Cath’s mind and the only words that she finds saying, yet in a whisper. “Not him.”She wishes, grasping Sam’s hand tight with the Paramedics checking his vital signs from time to time while the ambulance is hitting speeds on the freeway. Blaring the lights and emergency sounds. “Sam.”Cath closes her eyes firmly, crying in cold and shivers from the fear and exhaustion that she is having. Felt like her world is slowly turning to a halt, where her eyes are clouded with her tears and her hearing was slowly starting to ring with nothingness. Flashes of the past night ten years ago are starting to hunt her. “I couldn’t feel any pulse. Get the defibrillator!”“Dad! No, let me go!”The image of her father flashes to her mind, the blood and the similar situation that’s trembling her entire body from inside and out. Somewhat it is suggesting to her that she will relieve that night and her darkest part right now.“Parent is shot to the chest and

STILL crying hard and shivering from what she saw and the state that Sam is in right now. Cath is cowered into a corner in the open garden of the hospital five floors below the top floor.“I’m sorry, the patient didn’t make it.”She is shaking those memories away from her head and the pain that is somewhat eating her whole and slowly making her crazy. “Make it stop, just make it stop.”She begs and pleads that no one and still the same from the past could hear her. Especially not Sam that during those times in the past is someone that is slowly drifting away from her, and now is in the same situation that she doesn’t want to think about it. “Cath?”Someone calls her name from near. Yet, Cath’s anxiety is worse at that moment and her hearing is like a blaring long ring that is painful and awful. “No, no, no. Cath, calm down, everything will be alright. You can do this. You went through this in the past and multiple times in your work. You can do this now and easily.” She’s convinci

“I will go.”Taken aback and all are hesitant to agree nor to disagree, yet Cath is firm in her decision and words to go forth and attend the ball that the Governor is expecting of them to come. “Are you sure?” Lindsey tries to protest, worried and thinking otherwise about the plan that Cath just said to them. “I mean, Sam wouldn’t want you to ---”“Lindsey.”Cath cut’s her words and looks at Lindsey with the eyes that she understands what she is truly trying to say and where she is coming from. But from what had happened and will be happening from this point, they shouldn’t act soft, nor let their enemy get a glimpse of their weakness. “I know you are worried, but Sam will like me to do this for the both of us, and to protect the family.”She convinces Lindsey. Holding both of her hands and assuring her of one thing. All while taking their conversation inside the lounge area of the VVIP room of Sam. And just a door away from where he is currently. “I am alright and will be. This t

“ARE you sure that you are going?”The question that not even a bit took Aaron aback. Especially that he’s been waiting for this day to come. A simple encounter under the mask of a ball that he is perfectly using for his advantage.“What answer are you expecting me to tell you?”With a bit of a disappointed look towards Ash, his best man and best friend that role is like Brian to Sam. Knowing more than anyone else that this particular event is what he’s been preparing for long. He added.“If you thinking about what happened a while ago and my encounter with his younger sister. You do not need to. She is just a little dust that I can wipe away and cleanly out of my face when I need too.”Arrogant and a hell lot of confidence. His personality is like a two-face coin that depending on the situation and the kind of person he is talking with is the type of face and tone that he will be presenting. A hell lot of red flag that he gains with his secret cocky attitude from years of torture and

“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

MORE than being stripped of everything that he had, Harry is slapped with the truth and faces the wrath of Adriella in her calm demeanor whom everyone knows that it is worse than a tyrant in that kind of mood. “You do not need to explain anything to me but sign the divorce papers, right now.”“I-I…”Definitely shaking within his wits, Harry couldn’t even utter a single word nor look at the face of his mother-in-law worst towards Lindsey whose expression is indistinguishable for lacking nothing to see. Worst with the atmosphere in the room that is getting heavy and dreadful upon their conversation that a while back is going smoothly and just like always. Only to be struck by the divorce papers and the secret that Harry is been hiding for almost a month now. “I stayed quiet and compose for the sake of Lindsey. But since it all comes to this and the fact that you are caught red-handed. There is no need for further discussion.”“But I… I only did it once, or maybe twice or thrice, but t

“WILL this be alright?”Lindsey’s worry and her thoughts about what Sam decided upon after what happened. Hiding the fact that they were kidnaped. Letting Jun handle the rest with the pieces of evidence at hand and the new ones that were suddenly sent to them just a while back. With all of them know that it was from Beatrice, leaving Francis in the air and saving herself. “This is better and the appropriate thing that we should all do.”Cath seconded, forcing everyone to have this talk and all from Sam’s protest. With her injuries and critical state in the first few hours after they are saved. Luckily Cole wasn’t hurt in any way nor the child is traumatized. But make sure, Sam sends his son to the psychiatrist, and is currently under the care of Adriella. Lindsey recovers fast, and can now move on her own, unlike Cath. “Let’s just leave it to Jun and Nadia. They both know what to do.”She added, hiding the fact that she doesn’t want Sam to know about the organization that Francis on

DAMN alive and still breathing despite his injuries and the gunshot that he just receives from Aaron a while back. 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? Francis fired his gun, missing Cath’s vital spot from his shaking hand due to his injuries. Yet still, inflict Cath with another injury and a gunshot to her left arm. Stumbling backward made her lose her footing and leads her to fall to the cliff.“Damn! Just die!”Two gunshot echoes, now directly to Francis's legs leaving him impaired and down helpless. “You cannot save her, she is gone! You failed to save your girl, Samuel Lawrence!”Consumed with anger, Sam clenches his hands tight, yet he didn’t blow up on Franci

STARTLED and quickly stops in her tracks, now standing and still. Lindsey instructed Cole to close his eyes and cover his ears. 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

TRAIL OF BLOOD is visible from near. Cath’s breath is heavy and her sweat is dripping from her forehead. She’s easing the pain from the gunshot wound that she got to her left arm and right leg. Dragging her heavy body and following the path that she instructed Lindsey at first if anything might happen and they needed to separate. “Tsk!”She clicks her tongue in anger and irritation. Tired and has been losing a lot of blood after she fought and struggled against Ivy. Now holding the gun that almost took her just a while back. “CATHERINE WAYNE!”The name, her name that Ivy screams in anger at the last second when she pulled the trigger and put a hole in its forehead. Ending a nightmare that she took within her hand and fails to put her back behind bars. “Almost. 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. Ripping her bolero and tying it around her leg

GUN shots can be heard from a distance and back. The exchange and the loud crash with the blow of a bomb shake the ground for a few seconds. Holding on to a tree while tightly holding Lindsey’s hand with her right one, Cath held her ground looks back when Lindsey screams in surprise at what just happened. 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. Cath looks around and a few steps away from where she instructed Lindsey to stay covered and safe with Cole. “Tsk!” She couldn’t help but click her tongue

“THIS is what you need to do.”Instructions that Beatrice needs to follow. Things that she is hesitant at first to do since it might drag her name along with the danger that she just run away successfully from Francis. But with Hiro’s assurance and the things that Hiro just told her. The plan and the fact that the organization has Cath, Lindsey, and Cole, the truth that the organization is the other party that is rubbing Francis's patience, and the little deal that Hiro on behalf of the organization strikes a deal with Cath.

I’ll prepare everything as soon as possible. I’ll call you when everything is ready.”“Thirty minutes.
