Catherine's POV. I gave her a suspicious look before asking, "What is that irresistible thing you're talking about, Anna?"She gave me a wide smile, a smile I think was too wide for her small face, "Start talking, Anna, I don't have all day to be with you." I said when she was just staring at me and smiling.Even her smiles look shrewd to me and very suspicious. I know deep within me that nothing good would ever come from her, especially when it has something to do with me."How's your ankle?" She asked, that stupid fake smile still plastered across her face.I sighed, "Look, Anna, you don't have to pretend to care, it doesn't suit the likes of you, so go straight to the point and stop wasting your time and mine too." I muttered, my eyes fixed on her and I could see her smile slowly fading."Great, that expression suits you better when you're with me" I added with a smile as I saw her face taking an ugly form. She took a deep breath, probably to calm her nerves before saying, "You r

Catherine's POV. 'Sleep Catherine, sleep!'I huffed at my restless self as I began to turn around the big bed again. I miss my kids though they're just in the next room sleeping soundly. I turned around again and again. It would be a matter of time before I'll scream my frustration out, this is becoming too much. "Why can't I fucking sleep, why?" I mused to myself as I took a sitting position on my bed, my head resting on the headboard. ‘Cause you're thinking about him again and again, just go to him, all this will be over and maybe you'll get the kiss you couldn't get last time, I know you want that kiss badly, huh?’ "Just shut up!" I huffed at that ridiculous voice in my head and crawled out of bed and took the baby monitor with me.Maybe the monitor is damaged, Leo should have started crying by now, he usually wakes up around two or three in the morning and it's already past three. I opened the door as lightly as I could and stepped outside. There were no shoes on my feet becau

Catherine's POV. Lucas' breath fanned my neck and all my cells suddenly became more conscious of him, my body screamed for his closeness, for his touch, for his mouth... For every part of him but he didn't offer any, I just felt his heavy breath. I couldn't move for fear of what would happen, my hold on the couch deepened and my fingers began to hurt badly. "Lu.. Lucas..." I whispered his name and inhaled sharply, his scent filling me and I can't help but wish that something else of his should fill me like that. I just want him, I don't care about logic or anything, I want this man to touch me."Are you alright, red hair?" He whispered into my ear and I reacted by holding the couch harder. If I'm not careful, I'm gonna have broken nails or I might end up tearing the leather off the couch."I'm... I'm... Oh, Lord... Please..." I stuttered, unable to think straight like a normal human being. I felt cornered with nowhere to run, even if there was anywhere to run to, I was not running!

Catherine's POV. Some weeks later. "Why's everyone so busy?" I mused the question to myself as I stepped out of the elevator, skimming around. The servants were everywhere, holding one thing or the other, the house looked beautiful too. Not like it wasn't beautiful before but it looks exquisite now because of the decorations. "Mmmmm... What an aroma." I murmured as I perceived the smell of the delicious food that was coming from the kitchen. My stomach grumbled and I yawned, I had just woken up from a nap and I was starving so bad, extremely bad. Taking in a deep breath of the beautiful aromatic scent, I began to head towards the kitchen, nodding to the hasty greetings of the servants passing by. I'll have asked them what's up but they'll not be able to give me the accurate answer that Bella would give me. Bella would definitely be in the kitchen, she's one of the major cooks around here. My stomach let out an angry roar because of the scent my nose was perceiving and I hastene

Catherine's POV. "Catherine, where are you from?" A female voice asked and I frowned.Why can't everyone just eat their fucking dinner and get out?!I looked up from my food in the direction of the woman that just asked me a question and I gave her a forceful smile before replying, "I'm from a small town in Italy." I have no idea where I am from, I don't know my family, I stayed with a woman who claimed to be my aunt and I ran away from her when she wanted to turn me into a s.ex slave."That's interesting, I never knew the Leonard's family was from Italy." She said, her eyes still fixed on me and I guess she was still expecting an answer so I decided to give her one.With a soft chuckle, I muttered, "Well, now you know."I heard a soft chuckle from someone though I don't know who but I think the woman found my reply rude because her expression turned ugly but I couldn't care less as I went back to playing with my food.I could see Lauren's angry stare from the corner of my eyes and
