“Why are you so lost in your thoughts?” Stiliyan says, as he sat next to me, legs crossed, ‘damn this man is sexy’, I mentally say to myself,
“I have no idea how badly they are going to take all of this, the news regarding the death of the heir to the Montero Empire should be everywhere, the airport is probably swamped with reporters, awaiting my arrival, I wonder how much they know? All this is going to be really difficult.
Stiliyan, what are you going to do about all this, you might get arrested?” I say to him, revealing my biggest fear,
“Catalina, no one except your family knows we are on our way to Manhattan, I made sure of that,
and Christian killed himself to save you, the only name the Montero’s can link to his death is Diego, and this is without prove, it will merely be an accusation without evidence, all the while you were locked up your dad, Sebastian, called me various times, plea
“Catalina!!!! My princess, how are you? Oh darling,” she says to me embracing me in a tight hug as she lets out a light sob, “mum I am okay, I am really okay” My dad and Ryan walk up to me as they embrace me in a tight hug too, this felt nice, I really missed my family, we finally break apart and my dad notices Stiliyan, “Thank you so much, thank you, we really appreciate and I am entirely grateful t..,” “You must be Stiliyan, you look so young? Thank you for saving my daughter, we are forever indebted to you,” “It was no big deal, you are welcome,” Stiliyan says with a smile on his face, but I could tell he is uneasy, I could see guilt in his eyes, My brother walks up to Stiliyan giving him a handshake thanking him too, “It was not all me, my best friend here played a very important role,” Stiliyan says gesturing towards john, “This is your lawyer; we’ve seen each other at the business meeting, 
I look through the glass window, Everyone looks really busy, I see Anna talking to a few people, my mum is giving a young lady an earful, My Dad and Ryan are talking to a few people, children are running around, I can’t believe this is real, I feel like my heart is going to explode from this much happiness, I am so grateful beyond words. “it’s about to begin, cover your veil,” Anna says as she rushes into the room,“I can’t believe my baby is getting married,” she says giving me a hug, a drop of tear making its way out of my eyes, “oh come on, enough with water works, we are stuck with each other forever,” “Come on ladies, you can’t leave a man standing at the altar,” My dad says as he walked in looking really chirpy. I can hear the music as I slowly walk into the wedding grounds, my eyes are fixated on the ground, I am a little nervous, as I walk beside my father, our arms interlocked with each other, I am dressed in a really long white, lacey long slee
In life, everything sadly comes to an end, my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer 4 years ago, I guess all that smoking finally caught up with him, we have spent so many beautiful years together, I don’t think I am willing to let him go, it’s a miracle he has lasted this long, but these days he seems worse, I know he is trying to look strong for me but I know my husband, and my husband is in pain. “a penny for your thought?”Stiliyan says in a low whisper, letting out a slight cough with blood stains on his handkerchief as he lay down, “Mum, dad, what is going on? You called, is everything okay? Dad, are you alright?” my two children, ‘Annabel and Christian’ say as they walk into the room with our grandkids, ‘Elena, Iglika and Naiden,’ Annabel is married with two children, “Elena who is 16years of age and Naiden who is 13 years of age,” Christian is happily married with a daughter ‘iglika, who is 15 years,’ I named my daughter afte

“Catalina!!” I hear my best friend Anna call out my name for God knows how long ,we are watching the news ,there was another shooting today downtown, the news is always depressing to watch nowadays, always one shooting or the other, I practically zoned off.it’s my 4 year anniversary with Christian Montero tomorrow and judging from the call we had 2 hours ago , he said he is going to propose to me and he hopes I say yes, and then he ends the call, i am supposed to be going insane with so much happiness,I mean, I am getting proposed to by one of the most eligible bachelors in manhattan or dare I say, one of the most eligible bachelors in the world ,he is the sole heir to “TECH M” the best tech company on the planet with a net worth of over trillion of dollars,so why the hell am I not jumping up with excitement? I have known Christian f
I wake up to the sound of Anna’s loud yelling, she is probably on the phone with one of her clients, I seriously don’t understand how this girl never seems to have a hangover I mean my head is spinning and there is this painful ache that won’t die down anytime soon, but there she is all dressed up and ready for the day like she didn’t down half a bottle of vodka last night.My, back hurts from sleeping all night on the floor, I decide to make myself a hot cup of coffee,I don’t need to head out until later in the evening for my date with Christian,Tomorrow, I have dinner plans with my dad and some Bulgarian investors, my dad is trying to partner with this new tech company in Bulgaria, so he can start launching a new level of medical application, I have to be there because STBC has decided to partner in this new project too.Anna drops her phone with a bang and goes all, “stupid fools, they never get their job right”.
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 Christi
“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
