“YOU’RE a bad girl Erika.” Selene complimented her. Erika’s best friend and scheming friend is just like her, a spoiled nature who will do everything to get what she wanted. “Thank you.” Erika’s proud reply while celebrating the success of her sly plan of ruining Sam's to her father and Cath’s reputation in front of everyone’s eyes. “I couldn’t be that proud of you for this stun that you successfully pulled out.” Selene’s giggle and amusement from the plan that is getting everyone’s eyes glued on their phone and buzzing with the gossip about the fake news Erika started. "Well, you know me. I always get what I wanted.” She proudly claims, sipping a glass of wine while monitoring the trend that she started with the gossip that by now is ruining Sam and Cath’s life. “But are you sure that you are going to ruin Samuel Lawrence? I thought that you like him?” Selene asks, to which she replied at first and quickly with a smirk and then explained with scheming eyes and expression
“NOT if I can help it.” Cath assures Lindsey, and with a determine expression and a knowing smile Lindsey smirks reading her mind and the possible disaster that will befall them. But if everything will turn out fine it will save Sam and his company. “Nanny Ester.” “Go on, I’ll take care of the twins. But in exchange, make sure that everything will turn to be alright at the end.” Nanny Ester gave them the head up and approval in exchange of something that wasn’t that hard to do, right? “Thank you, Nanny Ester.” Hugging the old lady, Monique and Cole suddenly runs to their side. “Saving daddy in trouble Miss Cath?” Monique asks with the little girl’s wit that knew the gist of the problem without even rubbing the truth from them. “I sure am, so wish me luck.” “Good luck.” Monique replies with Cole nodding and showing their both thumbs up wishing Cath the best. “Let’s go.” Now rushing and immediately inside Lindsey’s car with her diver speeding up by her command. It felt like
“CATH!” Lindsey screams for a multiple time right now. When Cath jumps in front of Chairman Anderson’s car, arms wide and with a determine expression more than she could ever be and before, as she then scream. “Stop!” Everyone with their surprise expression and almost losing heart from the stunt that Cath just performed, and a stupid one to consider. The Chairman’s car stops and just an inch before her. “Please! Chairman Anderson, I need to talk to you. I know that this is sudden and rude of me to do so. But I do not have any choice, for if I will not act now and do this. The company of the most important person in my life might turn to assess. And that thing is what I do not want to happen.” Cath started to rant, but more likely a confession while defending Sam. “Who is that?” “That is Miss Catherine Wayne, Chairman.” Chairman Anderson asks his secretary that immediately answered his question that upon hearing Cath’s name draws a knowing smile on his face. “I can explain ever
"YOU will see, I will be someone's hero, your hero for the one that you hope to be is not the ideal one that you are wishing for." Words that he remembers and promise for someone that is dear to him and so much. The past that he treasures more than anything even after ten years had pass.“You are just an orphaned without a real parent. So, do not act all high and mighty towards us.”The bully that he receives back then. The life that he never wishes to have, yet. He needed to endure.“Stop that! You should all be a shame of yourselves. Bullying someone at your age. Grow up and find a life. I warn you that you should not be doing this to him ever again or else I will tell you off to the principal.”The person that he meets then. But it wasn’t the first time that he comes across her, nor meets her.“Do not worry about them, there are a bunch of good for nothing brats who thinks that they own college just by being one of the jocks.”The only person who saved him in that predicament. Jus
"DON'T worry, just trust me." Saying those words like a promise and a conviction to be taken seriously and forever. That little boy’s life has changed ever since the day that he met her. “Will you recognize me after all those years, Rainne?”He calls the name, but rather the nickname that he gives to the little girl that he met then. He then closed his eyes and remanence of the days, where he soon promises to be back just for her. “I know that you are hiding behind the tree." Laughing in silence, pretending for a while that he did not notice her presence."I already noticed you the second you arrived and tried to hide. You can come out now.”He teased her while washing some vegetables alone in the open dirty kitchen of the orphanage. Where the rest of the kids went back to take a rest.“Don’t worry, I won’t bite.”Amused and giggling to see her timid self-hesitating to come out. He then drew one big smile facing her direction, and catching her eyes, as she looks back at him b
COULD contain it anymore, Brian smiled wide at what he is seeing in front of him and right now. “The most important person in your life. I heard it loud and clear, and not just I. Right?”Sam's words and a teasing question that wasn’t hard for the rest of his employees that witness the little sweet scene in front of them to agree. Most especially for Brian. “Brian?”Cath calls out in question. Pleading with her expression to be saved, but Brian will not have any of it for he’s with Sam’s side. “What I have seen and heard will be the thing that I will believe is the truth.”Shutting Cath casually and professionally with those words. Sam smiles proudly, upon knowing that he just won this little fight of them. “I should have known.”Cath protested under her nose. Yet she couldn’t blame her stepbrother knowing his nature as a true and faithful one. She is left to suck up the misinterpreted scene that no one could deny to be her little way of caring for Sam. “Now. Can I be honest to y
“SO, you are that girl?”Suddenly approached by one of the nutritionists of the company with a wide smile and expression that is both intrigued about her and requesting to know the progress between her and Sam. Cath awkwardly smiles, pretending that she didn’t know what she is talking about. “Stop that Olive. It’s rude to ask her that question when we all know the truth.”Words that made it worst for Cath to think of the possibilities and screams that Sam had done and been feeding his employees behind her back. “Truth?” Curiosity hits her, asking for the meaning of their words while hiding her irritation for Sam, while still in her composed and professional nature in front of his employees. “What do you mean about that truth?”The other employee who stops the first one that she calls Olive turns her head away, but Cath knew that she is guilty. Olive didn’t hesitate and gladly cheerfully answered her. “Well, we all know that you are the woman behind the CEO’S smiles for quite a w
“ALRIGHT!”Cath cheers herself. Shaking out the words, thoughts, and the recent conversation that she just had with the employees at the nutrition department. “This is just for a day. Only this day. Just how hard it is to cook a single meal for him?”She then comforted herself while preparing the ingredients and all after wearing the spare uniform and apron from the employees. “Can she do it?”“She can, I believe it!”The rumors are buzzing a bit to her ears with Olive cheerfully on to her side. “Lunch meal.”Cath though, thinking if that is the right name to call for that particular time or does it need some fancy ring to suit the position that Sam is currently holding right now. “So, what are you making?”Olive suddenly asks which took her a bit of a surprise. Making her remember what she just said a while ago. Most especially the news that just slap her unexpectedly for the second time around. “Our CEO’s girlfriend.”She wanted to burst with her disappointment towards Olive. F
“MOMMY!” The twins, Monique and Cole opens the door and runs up to her with excitement and twinkling adoration to their eyes upon seeing her. “Wow, you look like a princess, Mommy.” “You do, you do!” Monique’s comment with wide smile and agreed by Cole. Admiring her beauty as she is dress in a sophisticated white dress. Her wedding gown and the day that she will finally tie the knot with Sam. After all the problems that are resolve, the secrets that are said, apologize, forgiven and done. With the twin’s biological mother gracefully out of the picture by her death. Everyone is there in that very special day to witness and congratulate them. “Thank you.” Cath smiles and giving the twins one kiss each on their cheeks. Making the twins giggle more in excitement. Just then, the wedding coordinator knock on the door and asks her. “Miss Catherine, shall we?” “Of course.” She couldn’t contain her happiness and smiling all the way through. With the wedding theme of like mystical fore
“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. Is more than a heavy reason for her to believe. No, she had no choice but to believe. For in between the organization and Francis, added with the fact that Cath strikes a mutual deal with the organization. One thing is only left for her to choose from, and that is to follow the plan Hiro just told her about, and put everything of the blame on Francis.“I got it. I’ll prepare everything as soon as possible. I’ll call you when everything is ready.”“Thirty minutes.
