EDWARD... With Regina's leave from the company, I am mentally prepared for tantrums my mother gonna throw over this. She might hate Catherine even more now but I am not the same Edward anymore. I do love my parents, but they need to realise that I love my wife and daughter too. I would always choose Catherine and Adelaide over everything, that included my life too. Soon, I was out of the office and before returning home I visited Dad in the hospital. He has woken up and is in a stable condition. When I entered his room, Mom was peeling apple for him. Seeing me, he looked up and something in me just broke seeing his pallid face. Inhaling a deep breath I calmed down myself and walked close to him. Mom stood up from the chair and let me sit beside him. I held his weak hand and he tightened the grip shakily. "How are you feeling now?" I asked slowly. "Much better." Taking my hand he holds it to his heart... "I am sorry." He muttered. My throat heaved up as I tried to hold back my t
EDWARD... As soon as I landed in London, I texted my wife about my arrival. She had warned me again and again to inform her immediately. Honestly, it's cute when she cares like this. Though she wasn't like this in the past, I am certain that was because of my ruthless attitude toward her... I am happy that I overcame my stupid side these years and met her as a new person. Sending Mom and Dad home safely, I visited Maria as a priority. Her office had developed with time. I went inside. Her assistant showed me the way to her office and left before I entered. "Oh, I should capture this moment and make a poster right in front of my agency - The great Edward Reinford is my client." Maria whistled playfully. "I swear I would be in high demand." "As If you're any less now?" I raised my brow at her. "I even need an appointment to meet you." "Huh," She waved her hand in the air dismissing my comment, "That's just a formality for a show. After all, I need to hold my dignity." Saying dramat
EDWARD... Staring at the computer screen, I kept tapping on the wooden desk. Frustration and anger were sprawling within me as my eyes were stuck on the report Addison emailed me this morning as the first priority. It was clearly stated that Catherine went to the hospital that very day four years ago and Margaret's words turned true at this point. She visited the hospital with pain in her lower abdomen. The nurse who helped her that day clearly stated, that she was scared of losing her baby and fainted once reached the hospital. Fortunately, everything turned out fine. The more I read the more my blood boiled... The nurse also said Catherine requested to hide the matter because she wanted to surprise her family and Doctor Sharon knew about it. Reading this I frowned. Then how did she disappear? My question was answered in the next email he sent... That night Catherine was escorted by her family member, who registered as her brother. Brother!? As far as I know, Catherine was an or
ELAINE (CATHERINE) ... I lured Adelaide to sleep. It's afternoon and not an ideal sleeping time but the way she was grievely missing her father I thought a good nap would do it. Covering her well with the quilt, I stepped out of the room and my eyes met Liam's. With a smile on he devoutly nods at me... "Adelaide fall asleep?" He asked. "Yes, she did. She was missing her father. She has never stayed away from Edward for such a long time." I said. Frankly, I am not really sure why I am sharing my with the bodyguard. I mean, in our lives we don't do that. Perhaps, Liam was a different kind. He was more like a friend than a bodyguard. "I am sure she did not. Mr Reinford loves her so much." He replied... "I know you too miss him. Don't worry, he will be here." I looked up at him and smiled before walking toward to kitchen. He has a positive energy that somehow feels so familiar but I couldn't really put my finger on it. A glass of milk and a few cookies would do for an afternoon snac
ELAINE (CATHERINE) ... When I reached the Agosti mansion, I found Marco pacing back and forth in front of the entrance. He saw me and rushed to me as if he found his life back. "Thank God, you're here. He is not even letting me in!" Marco legit looked like a teenager who was punished to stay out of the house which seemed a bit silly to me. "Okay, come in." I entered and was greeted by two guards immediately, who only stepped aside after seeing me. Surely, planted by Alberto. I really felt bad for Marco at this point. Alberto was in the garden, sitting in front of the little lake. His assistant said something to his ear and he dismissed him as slowly Servants and the nurse appointed for him walked away leaving me and Marco with him. Alberto did not say anything nor turn to look at us. The situation seemed a little hard here. Sighing inwardly, I slowly bend down to his side, "Hey, old man." Unlike other days he didn't respond with a smile but... "Heard you two are not getting marri
EDWARD... Is this called tasting your own medicine? Perhaps, it is. Because the moment I saw my wife hugging Marco in that closed space of the car and kissing him, my senses flew out of the window as I stared at them... All I wanted was to drag my wife out of the car, and lock her in my secret place before beating the shit of Marci Agosti! And I did all of it... Only in my mind. In reality, I froze on the spot and stared at them. I have heard, Karma hits back real bad. Grandpa used to say that. And my karma kept hitting me for the last five years. When would it end? Although my relationship with Regina wasn't that close ever. I have never even held her hand. But I could guess how my wife felt when I always left with Regina ignoring her. That time I was far away from any realisation, as my wife never had any friends or tried to make one. I guess, she should have done that a long time back so I wouldn't have to stay away from her for five years and regretting at the scene standing be
ELAINE (CATHERINE)... "Mommy, what do I call him?" My little daughter asked once we settled in the car. We're heading to Agosti Mansion and I am so excited! It feels like I am going to show my family what I have produced! Smiling, I bend to my daughter, kissing the tip of her nose, "Call him Grandpa Agosti, okay?" "Okay, Mommy." Nodding, she leaned on her special seat as I sighed audibly before holding the flower pendant on my neck and looking out of the car... It was the same pendent I accidentally broke a few days ago. Upon my request, Edward repaired it and gave it to me last night. We only parted for our individual works but I am missing him already. I wanted him to come with us And meet Alberto as my husband but an urgent meeting was set and he needed to attend. Maybe, some other time. However, I am sure a car full of guards was following us behind although Edward did not mention it even though Liam was just sitting beside the driver in the same car with us. Since Edward ret
ELAINE (CATHERINE) ... Arriving home I received a text from Edward. He said he would be late and asked us to have our dinner. I watched the time. It's five only. Dinner still has a few hours now. I looked over Della. She was also busy playing with Liam. So I returned to my room and kept the box gifted by Alberto safely before opening my laptop. It's been a long time since I didn’t write anything. Recently, an idea of a lost Princess kept roaming in my head. Who lost her memory waking up from sleep and then met a Prince one day while roaming in the forest... Yeah, the inspiration was my life. I never thought about it until I met Edward. Since he and Della entered my life, all my nightmares disappeared into thin air. I no longer want to learn about that mystery voice any more or get frustrated about the past. Even random memories stopped flashing. As long as I have my loved ones in the present, the past does not have a chance to bother my beautiful times. I was so drowned to build m
