"It's a long story." Zayne responded as he wiped his mouth with a towel. "Yeah, I'm telling you this because I know I can trust you, right?"Vanessa nodded in response as she gestured locking her lips with a padlock, "so, after we left college, I and William were still close and all we went through our masters program together and that was when he started talking about how his father wanted him to run their company after he's done with school. Yes, I and William were in the same group, dormitory, and all but there was one thing that differentiate us always, he was in a higher social class."Zayne adjusted himself, he sat up straight and then continued, "I didn't have a company to run myself, not like my father has one too or needed me to run his for him or something, it felt like after everything, it was just me by myself in the world so I had to start preparing for my future, I had to start somewhere. I would stay up late at night, brainstorming ideas. It went on like that for month

Catherine burst into loud laughter when she heard Felice's hypothesis, "you've got to be kidding me.... Nahhh I don't think so."" Oh, so you think it's impossible?" Felice questioned" It's not like I think it's impossible, it's just I don't think it could happen."" What's the difference Cathy? The other day you told me when you woke up, you saw him, sitting next to you and holding your hand while grazing his finger gently on it, what else does that spell out? Girl, bro gushing over you while you were unconscious, believe it or not."Catherine let out a sigh, I don't know, ... Look I don't want to jump into conclusions yet... I can't even imagine myself being with someone like William, he's just so controlling and he has so much pride, he thinks he's the best.""How do you think someone with pride behaves around people they genuinely love and care about?" Felice asked."what sort of dumb question is that?" Catherine scoffed." No, seriously, answer me, how do you think they would

William returned from the office and barged into his family, all seated in the dining room, it seemed like they were waiting for their dinner,"Willy?" Michelle's called out as she waved her hand in the air for him to come over.As he approached the table, he noticed Catherine, sitting opposite his parents, looking so calm, quiet and innocent with her head buried in the table, in a fit to avoid making eye contact with him."Mommy, I'll have to go wash my hands at least, then I can join you guys." As he spoke, the maids came in to drop the dishes they were having."Hurry, the food is here already.""Yes mother." He responded and turned to Catherine, he planted a kiss on her cheek, immediately Catherine's eyes grew wide in shock and goosebumps appeared all over her body and she tightly interlocked her hands. Her face because flushed red and she felt her heart skip a beat.She slowly turned her gaze to William, in shock, "How are you, Catherine?" William asked with a soft smile on his fa

The annoyed look on Catherine's face disappeared into one that was trying to decipher William's words. When she realized that he noticed she was considering his words, she shook her head vigorously, sighed and made her way to the wardrobe.William successfully didn't get a response from her which was a real bummer for him but he was willing to give her all the time and space she needed to ponder over his proposal. Just like they've been sharing a bed and similar to the way they slept on their wedding night, they both created a bridge at the Middle of they bed as they laid facing opposites sides and sharing one duvet.The next morning, after Mr and Mrs Bentley had left the house to go attend to their daily activities as retirees, Catherine and William were left alone in the house.After their little misunderstanding the previous night, the energy between these two was awkward and uncomfortable. As unplanned as it was, they both avoided each other to avoid mistakenly having a flashback

~Next day~William made his way upstairs to the bedroom and mistakenly barged into Catherine who was too busy admiring her reflection in the mirror to notice his presence. She stylishly struck poses while preparing for work, in a maroon coloured pantsuit, her luscious hair, waving on her back, she paired everything with a cute black birkin and black Louis Vuitton shoes she got as a wedding gift from her mother. She turned around to take her leave when she saw William leaning by the door frame with his hands folded at his chest and wearing a narrow grin on his face.She staggered at the sight of him, and wondered what he was starring at, looking so lost, "What are you doing?" She questioned, her heart racing with shock, she picked her phone from the bed and approached the door when William's hand stopped her."I was just too busy admiring you, I got lost in your beauty."Catherine cocked her brows and darted her eyes around the room before taking a full stare at him, " Out of my way Wi
