~Love was at my doorstep,But I chased it away~Catherine POV:When I opened my eyes, I was already in my room. Mom was sitting down on the bed, her phone against her ear while Talia was wiping my forehead with a towel.When she noticed that I was awake she grabbed my hand and squeezed it."You are awake." She whispered.Obviously I am awake. But what the hell happened after I fainted?Mom glanced my way and stopped talking to whomever it is she was talking to on the phone.She closed her eyes briefly before walking towards me."What happened?" I inquired. My head hurts. It hurts like a bitch."What were you thinking, Cat? Don't be too hard on yourself. Ace getting married isn't the end of this world and you know it." Talia said to me.No.She was wrong.Ace getting married is the end of everything for me.I can't sleep knowing that in the next few days he would be completely hers.Chelsey's.I hate her already even though she did nothing to me.I caused everything. I am the architec

74Mrs Meyers is seated in her office and before her is Mrs Hampton who was sitting down on a couch with her lawyer.Mrs Hampton was going through the company's documents with her lawyer and was ready to sign it as soon as possible while Mrs Meyers watched on.There was nothing she could do.This was her last chance."Can you sign it already? We don't have much time left." Mrs Meyers said, her eyes constantly shifting to the door.She was anxious about the fact that her daughter might barge in and destroy everything.Veronica Hampton grabbed a pen from her bag and with a smirk on her lips, she sighed her name on the documents with the instructions of her lawyer.After signing the documents it was passed to Mrs Meyers and she signed it as well. The company was officially a Hampton property."I just transferred $1 billion pounds to your account, hope you can manage it." Veronica said and chuckled. "You can start packing up your belongings now, the company needs a Hampton's touch in it."

76Ace walked out of Chelsey's apartment and rested his back on the wall. He covered his face with his palms and screamed in pain.Why can't he be happy?Why does he have to be the one hurt in all his relationships?The door of Chelsey's apartment was thrown open and she rushed towards him."Please don't do this, Ace. Don't do this to me." She begged. Ace straightened his back and stared Chelsey. There is nothing she hates more than cheaters.Why would she cheat on him?He has been very attentive to her. He had been preparing earnestly for their wedding.He has always listen to her needs. He stayed away from Catherine for Chelsey's sake! What else does she wants?"Are you apologizing because I caught you in the act or you're apologizing because you're really sorry?" Ace questioned.Chelsey swallowed the lump in her throat, her eyes looking everywhere but Ace.Ace shook his head and stepped close to her. He raised her jaw with his finger and searched her eyes.He was trying to see th

78Catherine couldn't believe what he said to her. The insult.She stood up from the couch and stalked towards him."Don't you ever call me stupid, Ace Hampton. I am not stupid and will never be. Did you even care about me a little? The moment i heard the news about you and Chelsey i texted you, just to cheer you up. I flew here from London just to make sure that you're okay, to let you know that im here for you if you ever need me!" Catherine snapped, her eyes getting blurry with tears and her lips trembled. "I wanted to make sure that you're fine. But you...... You dont care Ace. I'm really pushing myself to believe that you dont love me anymore and that's okay. I wont force you. You treat me like trash, you insult me, you make me feel embarrassed of my love for you. I didn't do anything wrong by loving you, i made a mistake once and tried to make it right but you didn't let me. I am done trying. I wont stay running after a man that doesn't value me at all." Catherine ran past Ace

80Ace watched on as Catherine walked away from him.He was stunned.She had never treated him that way before. "You will have to prove yourself." He repeated Catherine's last words. He chuckled softly and glanced at the cigarette trapped between his fingers."I will surely have you back in my arms, Catherine Meyers. We are not done yet." He muttered.He wasn't even planning to attend the reunion, he just had to because he wanted to see her. And seeing her being so comfortable with Anitra pissed him off but he held himself back. He has no right to be angry or jealous.****"Now that it didn't work out with Jack Black's daughter. What is your next plan?" Veronica Hampton asked Ace during dinner.Ace sipped quietly on his wine and glanced at his phone screen. "What do you want me to do, Mother?"His mother dropped her cutleries on her plate and placed her hand on the table."I have had the privilege to engage you with two girls and it didn't work out. I am embarrassed for myself." She
