CATHERINE ... Seeing Jayden beside May was the last thing I expected... May went to him and held his hand, "Guys, this is Jayden... The love of my life. And Jayden, this is my family." She introduced us. He greeted her parents first and then turned to us. Edward and he already met in Italy. Finally, it was me. He gave me his charming smile, "we met again as promised." All eyes turned to me with a questioning gaze and I could see suspicion in Danielle's eyes. Although it was awkward, specially the way he said it and not to forget our last meeting in the lingerie store. I gave a slight nod, "Yes indeed." It's good to play cook when I wasn't on the wrong side. "Wait, you guys know each other?" May asked, eyes turning to us back and forth. "Ah yes, we do. Your sister-in-law happened to be my college mate, isn't it, Mrs Reinford?" Jayden asked. "yes, he is right." I agreed and Edward seemed to remember it too. Jayden bent down to Della and gave her a box of chocolate. "Hey, little P

EDWARD ... Since childhood, I have been taught to take over the family business as the only heir of the Reinford family. I was expected to grow as the head of the family to take over duties and guide them. However, no one ever taught me how to deal with uncertain emotions after learning that the people you loved the most caused hurt to others... Others who meant a great deal to you. I wasn't taught to be discreet about those emotions but always had to close myself off and that's the main reason I had never learned about love until I met Catherine. In our first two years of marriage, I was always cold and distant to her... To those emotions which grew within in an indiscreet manner. I feared that unusuality and thought something might be wrong with me. Why would I always think of that woman? Why always she would be in my senses? Why always do her smile and those Cerulean eyes precisely send shivers to my heart? Why do always I want to hold her close after making great love to her? Wa

CATHERINE ... "Where is Della?" May asked slowly as I held the spoonful of soup to her mouth. "She is safe and fine. Don't worry about her and take this." I assured her. "You did not eat anything since last night." May sighed slowly before parting her lips and drinking soup. She holds my hand. Her lips wobbled and she cried again. "M-om..." She choked on her breath. Keeping the tray aside I hugged her and let her cry. Her wound was scarier than mine. Yes, I did lose my mother but at least I have got to know her. However, this poor girl suddenly found out that all her belief was a lie. I watched my husband from the other side. It's the same for him. And Steven, Poor man. He kept Sighing day and night and blamed himself for not recognizing his wife. That woman not only deceived them but broke their self-esteem and faith. "Catherine?" May called. "Yes?" "I want to see Della. Perhaps spending time with her would help me." She requested and I caressed her head. "Hmm, I will send

CATHERINE ... "Why is the project not ready yet?" I asked, annoyed. "It should have been done by today!" "There was a technical difficulty, ma'am. It was solved already and the project will be ready in three days." The project manager said, making me more annoyed. "I need it the first thing tomorrow in the morning! If you can't you can leave!" He lowered his head, startled. "Yes, ma'am." "Leave!" I almost yelled as he rushed out hastily. "Fuck!" I slammed all the files on the desk. Since Dad left everything to me, I tried my best to not be harsh with them. But these people did not leave a chance to take advantage of my kindness! Now I relaised why heads and directors were always harsh and lived in a serious mood! I rubbed my temple and asked my assistant for a green tea. Soon she walked in with a cup of green tea and placed it on my desk before started briefing my schedule. "A meeting about our new project in Spain and a business dinner with Mr. Wyatte for a new partnership i

CATHERINE ... The time at the banquet was good and busy. People now talked to me differently. In the past, I have faced mockery in many ways. After all, a nobody orphan became the wife of the only heir of R.Ford. And of course, Vignette made it a huge issue for me to suffer. However, the moment my true identity was declared, people stopped. Some even couldn't hide their fear after learning who I am. Perhaps, recalled those insults in the past. Envious eyes and jealous stares only but no bitter words crossed my way but congratulations and blessings. It was a hard revenge though, they did not like me at all but now they had to say pleasing words to me. Well, power is a savage thing in this world. However, I have never misused it to hurt anyone and I never intend to do it in the future either. People started loosening up and eventually, I got time to rest my feet in a corner. I sat at one side, feeling thirsty. Except for champagne and alcoholic drinks, we also maintained soft drinks
