Catalina was Storm's childhood friend and ex-girlfriend. She and Roseline were sworn enemies because of Storm.
"What are you doing in Leon anyways? I didn't expect you to be the one from the crown princess's family to be present. How long are you going to be in Leon?"Catalina inquired with a sparkle in her sea-blue eyes.
"Why does it matter to you? "Storm replied to her back with a question.
Catalina gulped and laughed awkwardly, "we are friends I just wanted to know so I can treat you to dinner or something..."
"Right..." Storm uttered listlessly, "what are you doing here anyway?"he repeated her question without answering her suggestion of dinner.
Catalina forced a loud laughter, "com'on Storm how could you forget that my father is a member of the royal family? I even leave here and work for the king, "she blabbed with pride.
Rising to her feet, Catalina waved her index finger at Storm's face teasingly, "don't go anywhere, I will be right back, "she said and walked away swaying her hips that were articulated by the tight wine-colored long armless gown she was wearing.
She turned her head slightly and winked at Storm who was looking at her back and not her buttocks as she hoped he would.
The royal family was yet to arrive so the podium was a bit noisy. It was shared into four divisions with four thrones lined up in the middle. Storm was seated at the left side that was closer to the thrones and it had fewer seats. The whole stadium was graciously decorated with fire touches and red flowers.
Seconds after Catalina left, Storm saw her returning with an older woman who had sun-kissed skin and blue eyes. His already bad mood turned worst, 'she had to bring her mother, didn't she.'
The woman smiled and hastened her footsteps to get to Storm's front, "my little spitfire is now a man, "She rang with a bell-like voice.
"Hello aunty, "Storm greeted.
The woman lifted her hand to touch Storm's face but stopped When she saw the disapproving look in his eyes. Smiling awkwardly, she lowered her hand and took his hand instead, "Stormy you are so handsome now, how is your mother?" she asked showing her familiarity.
"It's Storm, not Stormy, " " and my mother is alive and well, "Storm told with an expressionless face.
The woman laughed falsely as her daughter made herself comfortable beside Storm. As she was about to speak again, an announcement was made that the royals had arrived, "we will talk later dear, "The woman said with a smile and walked away, man was she glad to leave his sight.
Catalina leaned towards Storm with her lips close to his ears and whispered seductively, "call me tonight and I will show you a good time, "she forced a folded paper in his hand before leaving his side.
As if he had been waiting patiently for her to leave, a tall man smiled at Storm before seating where Catalina sat. Storm gave a slight nod before frowning down at the paper in his hand, he wished he could see a trash can.

"Hi, sister, "Bash greeted Panda with a wave.
"Hi, "she responded flatly.
Bash clicked his tongue and took away her phone thereby earning a reaction from her, "do you want to die?"Panda rang as she tried to grab her phone from Bash who was a foot taller.
"I know you are mad at me because I broke the promise I made but sis don't blame me, "Bash said with a pouty face although he was still hiding the phone behind his back.
Panda huffed and crossed her arms, "easy for you to say, "she knew Bash would eventually return her phone so she decided to spend her energy on scolding him instead, "you acted like a child, you went back to drugs just because a man called you a faggot?" "Am so pieced right now."
Bash's eyes felt wet, Panda was his only family and he had broken a lot of promises but the one he promised never to break again was the drug one. "Pando am sorry, I-I" He stuttered, he dropped her phone on the desk and grabbed both her hands, "I know I messed up and allowed my emotions to cloud my judge ... I will be better , I promise you."
Panda opened her mouth to protest but Bash's index finger stopped her, "shhhh I know I make too many promises but hopefully this one will stick, "he said and hugged her.
Panda dabbed his back and pulled away, sitting she said excitedly, "so let's go see your car!"
Bash scuffed the back of his head as he sat, "it got taken after Storm himself took me to bed and tucked me in..." he explained.
Panda's eyes popped, "no– freaking– way!!! Bitch you are saying that the crush tucked you in?????? gurllll...."She smiled mischievously.
Bash rolled his eyes, Panda loves such gossip but it's not he was not also dying to tell her. Rubbing his knees he said, "he even replied to my I*******m message..."
"Bitch huh? What!! This is great news!"Panda squealed.
Bash's face dropped, "I wish it was but he only did that to warn me never to DM him again, "he muttered and looked heaven wards, "imagine the embarrassment."
"Awwwwwwh sis, "Panda hugged Bash, "don't give up on him at least he replied you, soon you'll be in his bed, "she assured and winked.
Bash chuckled, "don't worry he is my real addiction, I will never give up on our love."
Panda stabbed her finger at Bash as she warns with a glare, "hon't push him too much take it slow so it can last long. "
Before Bash could speak a male hugged Panda from behind and kissed her neck, "angelfish why are you frowning? "Bailey her boyfriend implored.
"Cherry don't mind me, "Panda told him.
The sturdy boy came around and sat on the bench, Panda rose and sat on his laps then wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing his lips she complained, "love, you slept off last night without saying goodnight."
Bailey snuggled her waist and he sucked panda's lower lip, "am sorry I was exhausted from all the work of yesterday, "he explained.
Panda frowned and broke the kiss, stroking his hair, she said with a pleaded tone, "babe why didn't say so? I would have let you sleep. Don't do that next time okay?"
Bash rotated his eyes at the couple's public display of affection, "okay love birds keep oppressing me with your love, "he said jealously.
The couple ignored him and started kissing, Bash could only wish that he and Storm could be like that someday...* Back at Leon empire"I believe Leonites would love the phones, "said Timere, the white-haired crown prince of Leon who is Progress's husband."To more ties, "Storm uttered as he and the prince clicked their wine glasses.Storm was happy although he wasn't carrying his feelings on his face. Not many businessmen got as lucky as he did, Leon is an independent empire that has it all so they rarely took in businesses since they were dealers of everything.After all the merriment and paper signing, Storm was ready to return to Maslles country, seating the car he sighe
A few minutes after Bash left, Cassandra threw a question at Callahan that got him grinning, "how do Storm like his women? Skinny? Thick? Tall? Short?"Hearing the man chuckle gave her the courage to continue since he didn't seem upset about her openly expressing her feelings towards his brother, "I can be any shape I promise, "she fluttered her lashes alluringly, "am good... am good in bed too, "she added and blushed. Callahan simply kept mum with a sly smile plastered on his as he dapped the corner of his mouth. He rose from his seat and trekked to Cassandra, her eyes followed him as he leaned towards her head, "are you sure you are willing to do anything to get my brother?" he whispered seductively.Cassandra swallowed greedily as she stuttered, "yes- yes I am, "She inhaled his scent and felt like purring, he smelt like B
"Good morning mister Callahan, "Bash greeted awkwardly, he stood rooted to the spot as Callahan greeted. It was unlike him not to make himself comfortable but the way Callahan glanced at him gave him the chills. "Kitten why are just standing there huh? Come and have a seat, "Callahan gestured to the box chair opposite his. Bash was was hesitant because the seats were rather too close to each other but neither the less he sat. He felt greatly uncomfortable because of what he was wearing, he didn't think the meeting was in Callahan's room. He had a see-through white polo on with black ripped jeans, he was not on the muscular side but his nipples could be seen from the shirt. "And hey, call me Callahan or Callay for short, "Callahan told, again with that cree
Callahan loop sided grin, crossing his legs and resting his hands on the arm of the chair, he proceeded, "my brother is a very possessive man, once he feels like he owns something or someone he won't share, he might claim to hate you right now but if we do what I have in mind you will see his true intents towards you." "What do you have planned?"Bash asked as Callahan expected him to. "Make him jealous, if indeed he has feelings for you, he would get upset and even kick me out, " Callahan replied to him and chuckled, "all we need do is pretend to be cozy with each other anytime we know he's coming." Bash's eyes glimmer with interest, ' that is indeed genius and I have nothing to lose since it is just make-believe, ' smiling at Callahan he continued to muse, 'he is really smart.' "you think
For five nights the new partners didn't immediately enact their plans, this is because Callahan said it would be too sudden and suspicious but on the 6th night the little flirting they started escalated... It is 7 pm in the Storm household, the usual dinner time. Storm came fashionably late as usual for reasons best known to him. On entering the dining room, he is welcomed by the brief sight of Callahan and Bash making out. Cassandra was just seating at the far end of the table with a flushed face. Storm squinted and sat at the head chair, he is wearing another shade of his three-piece pajama suit, peach and black to be specific. Although the once kissing pair have stopped, he couldn't help but noticed Callahan's fingers intertwined with Bash's own. "L
In Callahan's exquisitely furnished bedroom, Bash sat on one of his armchairs, looking at Callahan intently like he was scared he might get attacked by the man. The room was adjacent to Storm's own. Bash discovered that it belonged to his benefactor and that only Callahan is allowed to inhabit it. "I won't bite, "Callahan asserted with a grin. He was lying on his bed while Bash was on the chair opposite and far from the bed. Bash rolled his eyes, "I won't take any chances, moreover do you think it would be too soon to leave?" he asked. Callahan's smile slightly faded, here the cutie goes again, making it obvious that he only likes his brother. "How long did Storm stay after he fucked you?" he sarcastically asked.
Bash sensed something was off about Callahan but didn't comment, the man was full of mysteries. "Bye then, "he said, feeling a bit aggrieved that the scheming master doesn't want to help him. "Bye cutie, "Callahan muttered. He got up and left. It's still morning, the summer sun was yet to be tan worthy. Bash moaned as he walked to his window, gaping about what to do this Saturday. As for what Callahan told him to attempt, he felt that it is far fetched. For all he knows, he might not see Storm till dinner time. From where he stood he could see a large swimming pool and that instantly gave him a bulb bright idea that he grabs. Smiling, Bash plodded to his wardrobe and scruffed through it in search of something. "Ahha! Urika!" he exclaimed.
Apollo pushes Callahan and in one swift move, flipped him over. Now he was on top and grinning. "Baby what's the rush? Why don't you tell me about Paris." Callahan's hunger-filled eyes peered into Apollo's soul. "Don't play, "he said. Apollo giggles at the man's seriousness. "Uuuuh my prince is starving, "he said as he took off his shirt. Callahan's gaze traveled to Apollo's boobs which are bigger than what most men usually have. He is the gym type, tanned skin, with big muscles, and a wide fleshy chest. Callahan's hands found their way to the knockers and he squeezed them. "Mmmm, "Apollo moaned, arching his back forward. Apollo suddenly grabbed the hands that were on his firm chest. "Callay, did you know
