HOW did she end up in this situation? The question that Cath is running into her mind. All after she said yes, and like subconsciously agrees to stay for a night. “Come on Cath, keep yourself together.” She somehow is scolding herself and at the same time reminding her that she shouldn’t walk away from her initial plan and ends up repeating her mistake from the past. With a knock on the door, she immediately composes herself and opens it to be greeted by nanny Ester with clothes at hand. “Thank you, nanny Ester.” Appreciating, the old woman places her change of clothes for the night on top of her bed in one of the mansion’s guest rooms. “How long has it been?” Nanny Ester suddenly asks, reminiscing with her tone of longing and hoping in her voice. “Six years?” Smiling back and nodded as she reply to the old woman who had once been her second mother. Most of all and out of the rest knew what happened in the past is both a good and bad thing for her to remember. “I didn’t

EARS that as red as a tomato. Her heart that is beating like crazy for a moment, and her subconscious mind is screaming at her to wake up. Cath is into the arms, locked and so close to the person she is unlikely to be in that situation. “Still a messy one, aren’t you?” Sam whispers, teasing her while loving how Cath looks at him with her reddened ears so that he knows that she is flustered by the moment. Cath’s nature and involuntary mannerisms made her one of a kind to his eyes. “You got some floor on your face.” With a wide smile, he brushes Cath’s hair and locks it over her right ear. Then saying those words, the moment, he wipes the floor off her nose. ‘THIS IS TROUBLE.’ Cath’s subconscious mind is screaming, yet her body is frozen in place and her gazes are only pinned towards Sam and those eyes of his that both remind her of the sky and diamonds. “Are you two going to kiss?” Monique’s innocent, but somehow not so innocent question. The little girl’s words and perfect

IT hasn’t even been an hour since Cath officially becomes the nanny of the twins. Yet, Sam is acting like she is his servant and just to get her attention all to him. “The twins’ class will end at 11.” He started, and once more all after the little things that he made Cath do which are all the basic stuff that she already knew. “It’s better that you will stay at the academy until that time. There are designated places for the student’s guardian, so you do not need to worry about where you’ll be staying.” Irritated, but she needed to keep her cool now that the second phase of her plan is already complete. “I will and you do not need to worry about anything ‘SIR’ Lawrence.” She teases, emphasizing the honorific of the word ‘SIR’. Which took Sam aback with the kick of nuisance and offended by her word. “Sam.” He immediately corrected, somewhat snapped and emphasizing his name. with the steps close to Cath, by which Cath in return is stepping back and supposedly evading him. “You

“CANCEL everything of my appointment today.” Sam informs and quickly hangs up on Brian, knowing that he doesn’t need to explain further for there is only one reason for his sudden absences for this past week. Brian’s step-sister Cath. “Tsk!” He smirks, as he couldn’t help it with his oozing confidence and on the roll not just to continue teasing Cath for the day, but to make sure that he will have the advance progress for the plan that he’s been cooking. “Right.” Parking the car is not that far from the guardian’s waiting area. His presence surely is known when the ladies single or not turns their head to look at him. “Isn’t that?’ “It’s Samuel Lawrence.” “Woah!” They gossip behind his back and are all in awe of his presence that he hardly made anyone see. Added by his natural Casanova presence that’s leaving a trace of swoon woman behind his track. “How was the wedding?” Sam stops on his track and just in the corner after those words caught his attention. “Mia, don’t

FRIEND. The word that keeps on repeating inside Cath’s mind. Making her frustrated for the reasons that she couldn’t accept and never will be. “Sir, ma’am. Your orders.” The food starts to arrive with the people around them with wide eyes and couldn’t believe what they are seeing. “I can finish this, all of it.” She firmly stood with what she had said with a bit of irritated and angered tone upon Sam’s expression that is doubting her. “You said it.” Sam just agrees, didn’t want to argue with her noticing her frustration that he had no idea why. “Friend.” She whispers to herself and just enough for her to hear. The same word that she couldn’t let go, of and is making her frustrated and irritated by Sam by the minute. “Come on Cath, get your head in the game.” Once more reminding herself of her little ritual at hand. That honestly amuses Sam while pretending that he is not hearing her say a thing. “Okay.” Cath t
