ADRIELLA’S test. The two words that Sam should be worried about are more. Yet, he is not even thinking nor feeling it right now knowing Cath and his confidence in choosing the right girl. Even though that Adriella is someone that could not be pleased easily. “That smile of yours.”Adriella softly said, smiling with a mix of longing and a proud tone that showed on her face. “How long has it been since I saw this smile of yours? Ten years?”She remanence, not the precious nor memorable moments. But the time when all of Sam’s worlds started to crumble for the relationship became torture for him and the entire family for four years. “I haven’t seen you this inspired and so much in love since I married your father and I become your mother.” Adriella recall. “I admit that-that girl is making you happy right now and that she is the one that you wanted to be with forever. But I need to do what a mother needed to do. I do not want to see you depress and down just like in the past, Sam.”Sam
“I see where this is all going.”With a sly smile, but a supportive tone that Adriella doesn’t want Sam to notice just yet. She hugs her son and Sam replied with the same back. “You’ve been through so much, I just want to make sure that this time she is the right one for you.”She whispers that Sam completely understands where she is coming from. “I know mom and I thank you for that.”Adriella wants to honestly confront Sam and ends up teasing him for what she learned. Confess to her son what she is really up to and why she came rushing back. Yet, not for now. “You do not need to besides mothers always know best.”She was a bit teases and reminded of the line that she always used since then. The fact that the test that she needed to do is only a façade to what she truly wanted to see and prove to herself that Cath is the one that will complete Sam. “I’ll just be here for a while, and you should take a rest now. You need to be early for work. Goodnight son.”“Goodnight mom.”They b
“EVERYTHING is under my control.”Adriella smiles cunningly. While taking a sip of her favorite wine, with her plan at hand and in motion. Taking it all with the proud approval of her daughter. “It always had been, right, Mom?”Lindsey's wide smile and excitement. Knowing that she had now another ally to make her little schemes run smoothly and flawlessly like what she wanted it all to be. And this time, her new companion is more powerful than anyone that she already had. “Wait and see darling, this is all going to be fun and exciting. And in the end, it will be all worth it.”Couldn’t wait for the next few hours. Lindsey and Adriella polish everything from the tiniest detail to the grand scale. All to test Cath and to prove that she is worth the name Lawrence and so much more. “NANNY Ester?”Sam calls, a bit puzzled for no one so far greeted him for the day. What’s more, his office clothes are not placed and prepared on his bed which his nanny always did for him every morning. “W
“IF it is only for the day. Why not?”Too much for thinking that she got everything under the bag. Cath wanted to be eaten alive by anything or the earth would swallow her alive right now for what she is hearing and ends up into. “You know that I am not playing.”Cath tries to make sense of the running naughty mind that Sam had right now. While Adriella is back in her little world and relaxing. Waiting and observing everything unfolds from her little scheme. “So do I.”Sam replies with his eyes that are screaming all the dirty things that he wanted to do right now. “Besides, Mom’s offer is something that I couldn’t just slip away right now.”Sam’s teasing, and looks at her from head to toe with that dirty look and smirk. Cath needed to run away quickly before it is too late. “Look at the time!”She chuckles pointing at the grand clock in the living room. “The twins will be late if I will not wake them up right now. So,”Cath pulled her hand and successfully did so from Sam’s grip
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
