What!! I can’t believe we are here already it felt like we barely moved, I check my wrist watch, I noticed it took twenty minutes, I looked up at Antonio and gave him a smile muttering a thank you, because I knew it was a fifteen minutes’ drive at max from Anna’s apartment, He obviously took extra time as he must have noticed my nervousness, just then my phone rings and it’s my mum calling.
I slide to answer, “Catalina Brooks I am so proud of you I knew you would finally succeed and make him yours, good luck honey I love you” she says in excitement
“Mum, how did you know he is going to ask me to marry him?” I asked, absolutely surprised
“Oh, honey Christians mum called, she said Christian called her earlier today asking for her blessing, you have no idea how excited I am sweetheart, you’ve made us so proud, I have to go now honey, call me when it’s done, bye sweetie,” Mum! Mum! I sigh, realizing she ended the call already,
looking up i see Christian approaching my car he must have seen me arrive,
I step out of the vehicle and I see a well-dressed Christian, he wore a navy blue suit with a few buttons unbuttoned, perfectly shaved beards, he let his hair curl loosely not gelled back as he usually does, he looked perfect.
“Don’t wait for me Antonio,I would give you a call when I need your services, thank you,”
“no problem ma’am, have a lovely night” I close the door and watch the car drive off, and then I turn my attention to Christian.
“You look beautiful Catalina” he takes my left hand and gives it a slight kiss,
“Thank you babe, you look really good too,” I say, putting on the best smile I could muster up at the moment, my nerves causing my stomach to twist and turn.
He leads me into the restaurant and I realize it's empty, he must have reserved the whole place, it’s his restaurant anyway, he loves it here and automatically decided it was “our” favorite restaurant.
Didn’t bother correcting him, the food is nice but not that great, the meal is always too little and the steak a little too raw, definitely not my liking, but it’s all good, I always end up ordering pizza once I am home or at Anna’s.
He leads me to the back of the restaurant where there is an open garden with lots of flowers, there are candle lights everywhere, on the floor, on the walls, I notice there are rose petals on the floor creating a passage which leads me to a boldly designed petal of flowers which spell out “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” I turned to face him, and there he was on one bent knee with a beautiful diamond ring.
I could see my reflection on it, it was beautiful, absolutely gorgeous, but here I was feeling like I am to be sentenced to life in prison, was this really the end for me?.
“Yes I would marry you” the moment I said the words a tear slipped from my eyes and Christian got up and wiped it with his handkerchief
“don’t cry baby I am all yours,“ he said, I smiled and he kissed me, he deepened the kiss trying to gain full access, I quickly pulled away, “I am starving,”
We began to eat, I was barely touching my food, I had no appetite and I was definitely in no mood for an under cooked meal.
“You said you’re hungry, but you barely touched your food,” he looks at me, worry evident in his eyes.
“I am just really excited,” I lie through my teeth. He places his hand on my cheeks and caresses my face, “you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, I love you with all my heart and I’m glad you are spending the rest of your life with me, you are really lucky, don’t you think so?”
I look at him and I have no idea what to say, I know this is not the first time he has referred to himself as such a catch and how much I am lucky to have him, the funny part of it is I always say “yes, Christian, yes! I am happy” but tonight I do not have the strength to belittle myself, so I just smile and take a sip of my wine, I begin to stuff my mouth with food to avoid talking , so we fell into a comfortable silence as we ate.
“May I have this dance?” he says to me, gesturing for me to take his hands, the music plays and we begin to waltz to the music,
“I can’t wait to take this dress off you, I would rip it apart and buy you the whole dress collection, I don’t think I have the patience to take it off you my dear Catalina,” he says to me in a low whisper,
This is the dress Anna got for me I know its replaceable but I actually love this dress and there is just one left, well I can’t protest because the last time I got angry with Christian he told his father and his father made sure to inform my father of my “incompetence” in his words, and my father made sure I got an earful, letting me know that the Montero’s can decide to tear down his company at the snap of a finger, since then I have decided to not argue and just go with the flow, my dad worked so hard to build his empire alongside with my mum, and Ryan is doing his best also for the company, how dare my petty tantrums ruin a life’s work, right?
He slowly runs his hands through the slits of my dress and finds his way to my core and groans
“I can’t believe you wore panties underneath, I guess I would just have to rip it off too” he says, giving me a cocky smile.
“We are leaving”, Christian grabs my arm as we get into his car, we seat at the back of the car, I am guessing its new, I have never seen this one before, Christian has a thing for cars, he has a thing for almost everything, once it’s a luxury brand and it just launched he is literally the first to cup it, shoes, wrist watches, suits and all that.Immediately I feel his hands slide through my gown, “Christian, we are in your car and besides your driver will see” I sayto him hoping he would stop,“hey you ,get out for a few minutes,” he half shouts at the driver, the driver hurriedly steps out of the car, Christian wastes no time as he starts to kiss me roughly, forcefully ripping off my dress inan attempt to gain unrestrictedaccess to my breasts, I gasp in horror but he mistook that as an opportunity to deepen the kiss, as he roughly grabs my breast, squeezing my breasts like they did something wrong, it was hurting so much, but I dare not complai
I wake up to see Anna lying next to me still asleep, I glance at the clock and it's 12 noon, I check my phone and see 2 missed calls from my mother , 2 missed calls from Ryan, 3 missed calls from Dadand 1 missed call from Christian.There are bottles of liquor scattered on the floor, I start to make a path, deciding to wash up first, I call Ryan first,“Hey kiddo, you missed my call I guess you were having too much fun last night, you are officially an engaged woman, you must be excited, how are you?” excitements clearly evident in his tone, making me feel like shit,“ I am doing wonderful ,yes I am now an engaged woman but he had to leave last night he had a business trip to attend, spent the night with Anna,”“alright kiddo, dad says you are coming over for dinner, something about the Bulgarian partnership business, so I guess I would see you tonight?”“yeah would be there, see you later, and 
I walk out of the car, and I swear it felt like someone was watching, I look sideways to see if anyone was lurking around, as their are a few butlers at this part of the house,I shrug it off, I am about to open the huge door to the entrance of the main hall, but Sam our butler beats me to it,“Good evening miss Catalina,” “Good evening Sam,”“meeting room B3,” Sam says, I thank him and begin to ascend the stairs.My head faced down as I made my first step, when suddenly I felt that feeling of been watched once again, I look up and stop dead in my tracks, it felt like time had stopped, at that moment I felt like a bucket of ice was poured over my head, Ifelt really cold, I could not move, I just stood there for what felt like hours, as I stared into those green eyes, I swear they sparkled in the lighting, his dirty blonde hair tousled, he wore a ripped jeans, and a black cardigan, with the sleeves rolled up, it
My hands are shaking slightly, I have no idea why, it took every ounce of energy I had in me as of that moment to return the gesture, and when our hands touched each other, I swear a bolt of lightning has nothing on the kind of current that ignited my body,“Yes, you are right, this is she,” I inwardly cringed at my response, “This is she? Really!! ”I try to let go of his hand, but I catch his eyes linger on my engagement ring for a second and then he lets go of my hand,I begin to walk towards my father,“Catalina dear, congratulation, I am so proud of you, let us celebrate after this, but for now let’s talk business,”taking a seat beside Mr. Patrick, two seats away from Stiliyan,“You are all grown up, young lady, your father tells me you just got engaged to Christian Montero, congratulations,” shifting my gaze to Stiliyan, I seehis forehead is a little creased deep in thought, I swiftly return my gaze to Mr
“O my God!! Catalina Brooks is in love with a child”Anna says, while laughing hysterically, rolling on the floor being unnecessarily dramatic, laughing really hard, I just stare at her completely not amused, all I did was tell her everything I know and felt about Stiliyan, and what she got from that was love!!, I tell you this girl is nuts, I wait for her to dial it down with the laughter, it seems she is almost done, but begins to laugh again then stops getting all serious,“ Don’t tell me you are serious right now, you -felt what? , a jolt of electricity!, don’t be stupid Catalina, take a look at your finger, do you see that thing around it, it’s called a fucking engagement ring, you are engaged into one of the richest family on the planet, don’t think of anything stupid, you would be ruining your life and his life”“What is your problem? I never said I am getting married to the guy I have barely talked to him, I just told you how I
“Dinner at my place, you should be here before 7pm,”Says the text I got a few hours ago from Christian, Antonio is packed in front of Christians’ mansion, we arrived twenty minutes ago, I am bracing myself for what is to come, there is a normal routine whenever I come over;we have dinner, most times before dinner is over he starts touching me in a pathetic attempt to arouse me, but after a few seconds, he slides into me, oblivious to the dryness of my vagina, sometimes I never get wet, and would bleed when he is done, while sometimes my body betrays me and I get moist, or a little wet, irrespective of what my mind or heart might be feeling, they say the human body has a mind of its own, it drives me crazy at times like that but the good thing is, I don’t bleed when my body acts up, he never lasts over 5 minutes anyway, and when he is through with me he rolls over and drifts off to sleep,I’m seated in my car bracing myself for the ev
“This is going to be a really long flight,” I mentally groan,it’s just me, the pilot, co-pilot, Stiliyan and John.It’s been four hours since the jet took off and I have not seen Stiliyan, the jet is really massive so he is probably in one of the rooms,I get I delayed the contract but isn’t this a bit too much!, not even a simple hello or something, why the hell am I bothered anyways, the more space the better, I scoff, I look to the far end of my right and see John fast asleep.My legs starts to feel cramped, although I could press the button that changes the my seat into a bed like structure I just needed to walk a little bit, so I take a walk around the jet, I begin opening doors to see the rooms, and they looked really nice, I get to the last room and I notice this is the only room that has its door shut,“Stiliyan should probably be in this room,” I say to myself,I get curious and as to what the green eye boy might be up t
I do not wait for him to reply,“you know what, I don’t need an answer I am here to figure it all out anyways, now if you would excuse me little one,”I say to him, shoving his shoulder a little harshly with my shoulder as I walk past him, leaving a very angry looking Stiliyan behind, I felt that stupid wave of electricity again as my shoulder felt those hard muscles underneath his cloth, I quickly shrug it off, like seriously!, I am really in no mood, damn!I felt this electricity thing when I was poking him too, and now I feel it again?? urghh, ‘stupid hormones!’ groaning internally.I am seated back on my seat and I begin to reminisce on what just happened, I know I hurt him, I saw it in his eyes before he masked his emotion with anger, I guess he is really good at flickering his emotions and facial expressions, I was going to keep quiet about what I know, he probably worked for his money or something, how he got the money is really none of my busine
