“Stay away from my man!!” Catalina shouted in anger.

The lady looked up while holding her cheek with a confused look on her face. She looked at Catalina who had a furious look on her face and then at Frederick who was looking at everything with a shocked look on his face.

“Your man? Wait…” The lady said slowly putting in the puzzle. She immediately bursted out in laughter.

“Wait you actually I had something to do with Frederick?” She said amidst laughter.

Catalina’s furious face slowly began dissipating.

“Never knew you got yourself a possessive chick” The lady hit Frederick’s shoulder while laughing.

“Catalina meet my cousin… Anna Montreal.” Frederick said and Catalina’s eyes widened.

“C-cousin?” Catalina stuttered and the lady nodded.

Catalina swallowed hard and at that very moment, she wished the ground could swallow her up.

She freaking slapped Frederick’s cousin.. Her boss’s cousin!!

“What has gotten into me!!” She screamed inwardly as embarrassment ate her whole.

Before Frederick nor Anna could speak, she immediately ran back in the dressing cabinet.

“She’s pretty.. So you were seriously not gonna tell me you have a girlfriend?” Anna smiled and raised a brow.

“I didn’t know I have one till now” Frederick wanted to at but just smiled

“She’s very pretty and I’m sure with a little more maintenance she’ll be a goddess of beauty. I’m glad to see you’ve moved on from Tatiana, no more frowny face” Anna smiled.

“Have to go now before my fiance starts looking for me. Enjoy your stay here in Spain, don’t forget to send my regards to uncle and jerky Drake!” She said and walked.

Frederick sighed out in relief. Thank goodness it was Anna she slapped and not Anna’s twin sister. Anna is very understanding and cool unlike her sister who’s a psycho.

He turned and walked to the cabinet, he peeped in to see Catalina sitting down while biting her fingernails nervously.

“What do I do now? What should I tell him now? I just slapped his cousin!” Catalina exclaimed and immediately shook her head.

“No.. I can’t face him anymore. I’ll just sneak out then go home park my things and fly back home then resign” Catalina said and nodded then stood to leave.

“Ahh!!” She shrieked when she saw Frederick standing at the entrance, looking at her with a smirk on his lips

“B.. Boss” She stuttered and began looking around for an escape route but saw none

She swallowed hard and clamped her hands tightly together, looking down.

“I’m so sorry boss.. I’m so sorry for slapping your cousin like that. You can give me whatever punishment you want I’ll take it but pl…ahh!!” She shrieked when Frederick gently pushed her to the wall.

His placed his hand on the space above her head and leaned closer. With his other hand, he raised her chin so that he could stare at her in the eyes.

“Catalina tell me, do you perhaps like me?” Frederick asked.

“Huh?” Catalina’s eyes widened.

“You heard me right Catalina”

Catalina swallowed hard as she stared at Frederick in the eyes. What should she tell him now…

“Uhh.. I,, I”

“Words Catalina, I need words” Frederick said, leaning closer.

“I don’t! I don’t like you!” She quickly said nervously..

“Really? Then why does my presence have so much effect on you” Frederick whispered to my ears.

He brushed his nose on her cheek and she closed her eyes tightly.

At that moment she began questioning herself. What happened to the Catalina she knew? What did this man do to her?

On the norms, two planks could have landed on Frederick’s head but it’s not the case. She badly wants to push him away but she can’t, it was as if her hands became numb..

“Boss…” She muttered when Frederick’s nose touched hers, his minty breath hitting her face.

“Thought I told you that anytime you call me that way, I’ll kiss you” He muttered and grabbed her waist.

She shut her eyes more tightly. Frederick looked at her nervous face and smiled.

He took her hand and placed it on his chest, where his heart is located.

“How does it beats?” He asked.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at his chest.

“It beats… Very fast” Catalina muttered.

Frederick smiled.

“That’s how it reacts each time I’m with you” He said and Catalina slowly looked up at his face.

He cupped her cheek, rubbing his thumb on the skin below her eyes.

He looked at her lips and slowly began leaning in. Catalina stared at him and slowly closed her eyes, slightly parting her lips.

Frederick parted his lips too and when he was just about to fill the remaining space between them-

“We’re soon closing ma’am, please hurry up” The attender said outside.

Catalina’s eyes immediately opened and she blinked before looking sideways.

“Uhh.. Okay, I’ll be there!” Catalina replied.

She began looking at everywhere else but Frederick’s face. Frederick smiled and released her before leaving.

Catalina exhaled loudly, placing her hand on her chest. She could hear her heart hammering against it’s ribcage.

“We nearly kissed… Gawd!”

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<NEXT MORNING≈STARSHIP HIGH>

Calvin got down the cab and rushed in the school. He walked to the lockers sector and as expected, he saw Aubrey standing in front of her locker.

“Aubrey!” He called to her.

Aubrey turned and immediately frowned when she saw it was Calvin. She rolled her eyes and continued bringing out the book she’ll need.

“What was the meaning of what you did yesterday” Calvin asked

“It meant what it is… Also, no need for us to keep pretending we’re dating, Drake found out already. Have a nice life Calvin” Aubrey said and shut her locker then made to walk away but Calvin pulled her back and caged her against her locker.

Aubrey stared at his handsome face which was close to hers.

“Aubrey… What’s wrong?” Calvin asked seriously.

Aubrey looked down.

“Yesterday, I texted you to meet me at the library and you didn’t came. I got worried and went to look for you just to see you kissing your friend. You didn’t even bother about me” Aubrey said slowly.

“Really? That’s all?” Calvin raised his brows..

“Well firstly, I didn’t kiss Dream.. She kissed me. And secondly, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you I wouldn’t come.. I was kinda confused” Calvin said and Aubrey nodded.

She smiled.

“Apology accepted.” She said.

“Can’t believe you blocked me because of that” Calvin raised a brow and Aubrey chuckled.

She suddenly hugged him, taking him by surprise..

“I missed you” She muttered.

“You missed me? Wait,, is this the same Aubrey?” Calvin said and Aubrey frowned then punched his tummy.

“Ouch!!”

“I was trying to be romantic and caring to you but you just ruin it… Hmph!!” Aubrey scoffed and began walking away

Calvin sighed, rubbing his tummy.

“Girls… One minute they’re caring and sweet the next minute they’re like dragons. I’ll never understand that gender” He shook his head and went after her.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<NIGHT≈SPAIN>

Catalina smiled as she finished arranging her clothes in her wardrobe. She was meaning to buy just three clothes but Frederick insisted he’ll buy all the clothes she wants, even shoes, bags and some jewelries

Now the wardrobe which was barely empty was now full to the brink.

She nodded satisfactorily and walked to her bed then sat down and picked her phone. She went to a group and dropped a message there

“𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧”

Few minutes one of the members in the group replied her.

“𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥 😂”

“In love? What??” She exclaimed in confusion.

She began thinking deeply.

“Does that mean I’m in love? But I didn’t feel that way when I was with Roman,, wait does that mean I never loved Roman?” She asked herself and her eyes widened.

“I’m in love with my boss?!” She exclaimed with wide eyes and immediately shook her head.

“No.. No… I need to search on how to stop this” She shook her head and picked her phone then began searching on the net while biting her fingernails.

The door suddenly swung open.

“Ahh!!” She jumped, almost throwing her phone.

“Why do you love screaming so much?” Frederick chuckled as he walked in, holding a pillow in his hand..

“What are you doing in my room” Catalina asked.

“Isn’t that obvious?” Frederick said and climbed the bed, laying down.

“I’m here to sleep” He said

“No.. We can’t possibly sleep on the same bed” Catalina said, standing up immediately.

“Why not? We’ve done it before and the bed is big enough for the two of us” Frederick said.

Catalina shook her head..

“No I’m-”

Before she could finish talking, Frederick pulled her down to the bed and she landed in his arms. He smiled and covered them with the duvet.

“Goodnight” Frederick smiled, hugging her to himself.

Catalina stared at his face, million things running in her mind.

Is she really in love with him?? How?? Why??

“If you keep starring at me that way I’ll kiss you and there’s no attender to save you this time” Frederick smirked.

Catalina quickly closed her eyes. Frederick smiled and kissed her forehead.

“Sweet dreams” He whispered.

She smiled and slowly snuggled closer to him, dozing off to sleep.

<LAMBERT HOSPITAL>

“So that’s completed! Your weekly dose of injection is over. Just make sure you follow this medication I gave you and you’ll be full healed” Thalia smiled.

“Alright doc. Thanks so much” She shook hands with the patient who stood and left after wards.

Thalia began writing some things down when her phone buzzed. She picked it and her brows furrowed when she read a strange message.

YOU’RE MINE THALIA AND NO ONE ELSE… I’LL HAVE YOU ALL TO MYSELF NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES OR WHO I HAVE TO ELIMINATE

Her heart skipped a beat when she finished reading. What is this message talking about? Why sent it?

See looked around and walked to her window then looked out to checked if anyone was spying. She read back the message with a confused look on her face.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<NIGHT IN AUSTRALIA≈LAMBERT MANSION>

“Are you sure I should do that?”

“Yes, don’t longer upload the video I sent you in the school blog.. I want you to publish it worldwide” Clara said on the phone to her spy.

She could be seen laying on the bed in Drake’s arms with the duvet covering their nakedness.

“Okay miss. It’ll be uploaded in few minutes” The spy said

“Good” Clara said and hung up then looked at Drake

“All done!” She chuckled.

“I love you babe!” He hugged her and kissed her hair.

“Can’t wait to see the look on that poor thing’s face when he’ll see it” Clara smirked.

“Yeah” Drake smirked too.

He was actually meaning to upload it on the school blog but seeing the trending video of his brother with Calvin’s sister he changed his mind.

“I’ll never let that Calvin into my family even if it means destroying my brother’s happiness” He said.

“Let’s not think about them baby.. Let’s go for another round” Clara smiled and kissed Drake who smiled and kissed her back, spanking her butt.

Few minutes the video was uploaded to social media and in not more than 15 minutes, the media was already bubbling because of the video.
