CATHERINE ... I sat beside Dad. He was lying on the bed. Pale and weak, wrecking my heart along. The doctor had checked him already. Nothing serious happened, but stress consumed him too much. I just realised that most of it was because of me. Dad recently hit his late fifties and that being said, he was slowly getting weak with time and didn't have similar physical abilities as before. The doctor suggested a complete bed rest for him and as much as possible to keep him away from stress. I caressed his grey hair as guilt coursed through me for not realising him at all. Did I hate him for no reason? I couldn't believe this! Sighing, I stood up and slowly walked out of his room. Uncle Lucas and Liam were standing outside the room. Seeing Liam I arched a brow and he lowered his eyes, "I am sorry, I had no choice." "How did you guess by the way?" I asked. "Your words that day... You talked like the Catherine I know. So..." He shrugged. "Well, thanks..." I muttered slowly as his eye

EDWARD... These days Catherine decided to stay with her father and I personally have no complaints. So, for some time we shifted to the Roullard Palace. It's quite overwhelming to learn that Catherine was the only heir of Roullard Corp. The way she lived so simply and easygoing always without throwing attitude, I truly am impressed by that. Since we got married seven years ago, immediately our business relationship with Roullard Corp got better and we became invincible in the business industry. I originally thought it was only because of R.ford's reputation. However, it turned out Catherine was the sole reason. Although Catherine's family ground was never my concern, I am glad she reunited with her father. She was the happiest I have ever seen her before. Adelaide also has her maternal grandfather and I have a father-in-law, which slightly gives me pressure. Having Jerard Roullard as a father-in-law, Of course, we had a man to man talk and he gave me a silent but cold warning. I a

CATHERINE ... My life had never been so beautiful before. All misunderstandings, dark secrets and hidden truths have successfully been demolished. Love bloomed in every relationship of mine. I might not give my first child a normal beginning and fail to protect one, however, I am very cautious about the little one growing inside me. Both me and Edward trying our best to keep our surroundings unpolluted and healthy. However, some things never left my mind. They were still lingering in my heart. For me, it was Miss Baritone. That woman was still alive and I could not suppress my curiosity to see that lady for once. Certainly, I did not ask Dad. Did not want to dig into the pain he kept buried in his heart for years. And Uncle Lucas shut me down with a simple no, 'I am sorry, young miss. It's better if you stay away from this.' So, my last option was Liam Currently, we both were in the garden where we used to share our hearts in childhood. But, his face darkened as soon as I asked ab

CATHERINE... The next morning I woke with Liam's urgent call. Taking a glance at my sleeping husband, I received his call, "Hmm, go ahead." "You are right, Catherine. Miss Baritone and Miss Robertson are connected, including your mother-in-law. They are first cousins and all three of them were very close in their young times. It's quite an open connection that never came to light. Perhaps because no one ever doubted it." I looked at my husband again before carefully stepping out of bed and going out to the Veranda, all the while keeping an eye on him so he didn't get to listen to my words using the speaker in my necklace. "I am not surprised." I muttered, "What's her name?" "Ivanka Baritone. Did Mr Reinford ever mention about her?" I rummaged through my memory but there was no mention of Ivanka Baritone I could remember. "I don't think so. Does he know her?" "Maybe, I am not sure." Said Liam. "Even if he does then it must be in his childhood because since Ivanka was sent to the

EDWARD... Maria's call early in the morning increased my worries even more. She asked me to meet her urgently. Certainly, it's related to the recent investigation after I successfully gave her the name of the mental asylum where Miss Baritone is locked.Uncle Lucas gave me the nale once I had given him the hint that the one who tried to hurt Catherine might be related to her. Considering Chairman Roullard's physical condition, he decided to slide the investigation into my hands and vowed to help me with whatever I needed. Surely, he wouldn't involve anyone else, especially Catherine. That man dearly loves her and I am glad knowing that she has more people who are ready to sacrifice to keep her safe and that put my worries to a little ease. After Catherine went to see her father, I went to my daughter. My little Princess just woke up and threw her arms at me. She recently started sleeping with her grandfather and spends most time with him, which somewhat gives me a little lonely fee
