Franklin let out a mischievous smirk.

“Wise decision pretty” Franklin rubbed her hair and she slapped his hand off before looking sideways.

“Always so stubborn I see” He smirked and then brought the bottle from his pocket.

“Take this… It Works after three days, just put three droplets in his coffee everyday and after three days he’ll be déad and you’ll be free” Franklin said

Catalina looked at it before taking it with shaky hands. She stared at it and tears poured out of her eyes again.

Franklin smirked and walked out of the room with all his allies as Catalina’s feet gave up, she knelt down while crying her eyes out.

Immediately they all left, Catalina suddenly stopped crying. She looked around before smirking as she wiped off her tears off.

“Bunch of fools, they didn’t even bother to check me up” Catalina thought and looked at the tiny camera on her shirt

“I’m so sorry Frederick” She thought pitifully.

••••

Frederick who was sitting in front of his laptop, watching everything that happened in old house could’ve help but tear up.

“Franklin… Aunt Cora,, you kílled my mom,, why?” He muttered as more tears poured out of his eyes.

Nothing hurts more than the feeling of being betrayed by someone you took as your brother, someone you took as your second mother… Only to find out they kílled your mother.

“But why??” He wondered.

Why did they do all that? Why does they want him déad? Why did he ki*ll his mother… Why??

He sniffed and cleaned his tears then slowly clicked on the save icon, saving everything recorded from the old house.

At least, they have proofs… He’ll be able to avenge his mother’s déad

He stood up and walked to the cellar then grabbed a bottle of alcohol. He sat down on the couch and began drinking directly from the bottle.

••••

“Mom please just send Calvin to grab the foodstuffs for you okay? I’m heading somewhere and I won’t be able to make it home” Catalina said, coming out of the can in front of Frederick’s mansion.

“Why? Are you okay?” Sarah asked.

“Yes I am… I’ll explain everything to you tomorrow mom. Have a goodnight” She said and hung up before walking to the entrance of the house.

The bodyguards let her in since they already know who she is. She went straight to Frederick room and got in.

As expected, she saw him drinking while sitting on the couch in his room.

“Love..” Catalina walked to him and then crouched in front of him.

As she expected, his eyes were already so red.. One thing she has got to know about Frederick is that he might be tough and confident on the outside but is actually a softie on the inside.

“Love, stop this.. You don’t need it” She grabbed the bottle from him.

“He and his mom kílled my mother.. I took them like my second family.. Why did they do that? Why did they had to betray in such a way. I feel betrayed, angry, sad, heartbroken and-”

“Shh.. It’s okay, in life things like this are meant to happen. That’s just human being for you, I’m really sorry about your mother.. You have no idea of how much I regret loosing my memories. Maybe, just maybe I would have saved her but what is done is done, we can’t change but one thing I know is that I’m never leaving you behind, I’ll never abandon you. You stood by my side when I was at my weakest and helped me.. Your love for me healed me completely. I’ll love you unconditionally, no matter what happens know you’ll always have a shoulder to cry on” Catalina said, cupping his cheek as she rubbed them.

Frederick stared at her and slowly smiled. Without wasting time, he slowly took her in his arms. Catalina smiled and hugged him back.

“I love you too… Please stay the night here with me” He muttered.

“I never had plans of leaving you” She muttered and kissed his forehead, rubbing it slowly..

<NEXT MORNING≈FRANCE>

Thalia smiled as she took pictures of herself at the airport, they just landed in France and words can’t explain how happy she felt at the moment..

She posed for a picture at a direction where the Eiffel Tower could be seen from afar. She made to snap but Flynn slammed his lips on her and she took a photo of them like that.

“So naughty” She giggled and looked at the picture, it came out perfectly.

She smiled and immediately used it as her phone’s wall paper.

“Let’s go… We have all our time here to enjoy” Flynn said and she nodded with a smile.

She hugged his arm and they both walked to the car waiting for them.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<REYNOLDS MANSION>

Catalina smiled as she watched Frederick’s sleeping face. She brought her hand and slowly caressed his cheek whole smiling to herself.

“He must be hungry… Need to make him breakfast” She thought and stood up to leave but Frederick pulled her back

“Ahh!!”

She landed on him. Frederick smiled and brushed her hair behind as he stared at her affectionately.

“Good morning heartbeat” He muttered and Catalina smiled before pecking his lips.

“How are you feeling?” She asked.

“Much better… Thanks to my heartbeat” He muttered and Catalina smiled before testing her head on his chest

“I think my dad something about all this” Frederick said

“Hmm? Why say so?” Catalina looked at him.

“I once heard him talking to a certain Cora on the phone. It didn’t cross my mind it was this Cora so maybe he knows some few things” Frederick said.

“Yeah! That’s a great idea. Let’s go right away” Catalina said and made to stand but Frederick pulled her back.

She landed on the bed with him on top.

“We can go but first..” He muttered and immediately claimed her lips.

She smiled and slowly wrapped her hands round his neck, kissing him back. Frederick cupped her cheek as their lips moved slow on each other.

Her hands slowly left his neck and travelled down to his chest. She slowly caressed it til her hands found it’s way under his shirt, she rubbed her hands slowly on his abs and Frederick couldn’t help but groan.

His hands traveled to her thigh and he slowly rubbed on her inner thigh, sending shivers down her spine. He broke the kiss and buried his face on her neck, laying wet kisses on that area.

“Fr… Frederick” She moaned out.

Frederick immediately stopped what he was doing.

“Why did you stop..” She said

“If I continue, I fear I’m going to take it to the another level” Frederick rubbed his nose of hers.

“So?”

“You’re seriously asking me that? C’mon don’t be naughty.. Let’s go and make our breakfast” Frederick chuckled and pinched her nose.

He made to stand but Catalina pulled him back. She tossed his shirt off and switched positions with her on top.

“Cat..alina?” Frederick called with a surprised look on his face but Catalina just slammed her lips on his.

“Didn’t know you were this naughty” Frederick whispered on her lips before kissing her back.

Frederick phone began ringing but they ignored it and continued kissing. The annoying ringtone came again and Catalina groaned before she picked his phone and answered.

“Who is this?” She said, slightly pissed off.

“Fred?” Tatiana raised her brows.

“Who are you?” Catalina asked, for someone to call Fred by his nickname means they might be close.

Frederick did the worst by kissing her neck and she couldn’t help but moan out.

“Stop that..” Catalina giggled softly

Tatiana angrily hung up and smashed the phone on the wall. She ran her hands through her hair in anger..

“He moved on! He really moved on!! How dares he?!” Tatiana shouted angrily.

She shook her head.

“No… I can’t let it” She muttered and marched upstairs to her room immediately.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<HOSPITAL>

“Drop me down! Are you crazy! Nelson! Nelson!!” Alicia hit Nelson back as he carried her on his shoulder.

He stopped in front of the doctor’s office before dropping her down.

“What is wrong with you! Why did you just barge in to my house and took me away like this!” Alicia shouted, arranging her scattered hair.

“We’re going to book for your surgery Licia” Nelson said and made to open the doctor’s office but Alicia stopped him.

“I already told you that I don’t need that” Alicia said.

“What are you talking about! You don’t need that!? So you’re okay to just die like that when there’s actually a cure?! Is that what you really want?! What about all those who cared about you huh?!” Nelson shouted.

“Do you know how frustrating it is to know that there’s a chance I’m going to forget you, all the memories I have of all my closed ones!!” She shouted back, tears escaping her eyes.

“Yes, I know how frustrating it can be but even if you lose it, you can still regain it…” Nelson held her shoulder.

Alicia looked at him before looking down in tears. She hugged him immediately, crying her eyes out

“Promise me you won’t leave me.. Promise me” She muttered.

Nelson hugged her back and kissed her hair.

“I promise..” He muttered and Alicia nodded.

They broke the hug and she sniffed then cleaned her tears before opening the door to the doctor’s office.

<REYNOLDS EMPIRE>

“I want the truth and nothing but the truth from you dad… Who is Cora?” Frederick asked with a serious look on his face.

Logan stared at Frederick then at Catalina with wide eyes. He thought they came because of the engagement issue and was even ready to throw Catalina out but when he heard Frederick’s word, he froze.

“What is happening?” Drake asked as he got in the living room

“Who told you that..” Logan muttered as his throat ran dry.

“It’s not a matter of who told me dad?! Who is Cora and don’t lie because whatever you say will be held against you by the law.” Frederick said and Logan’s eyes widened even more.

“What… What are you talking about.” Logan muttered

“An arrest warrant has already been issued for Cora, Franklin and the two others who allied with them” Catalina said.

Logan gulped down and closed his eyes. He slowly began narrating everything to them without leaving out any details.

Once he was through, Frederick sat down on the couch in shock… Even Catalina and Drake were shocked too.

“Franklin.. Is my step brother?” Frederick stuttered with wide eyes.

“You cheated on mom… And because of you, mom had to pay for your misdeeds with her life!!” Drake shouted in tears.

“I’m sorry son.. I had no ideas that-”

Drake stormed out of the place before Logan could finish talking..

Logan faced Frederick who was also looking shocked too.

“Son..”

“Heartbeat… Let’s go” Frederick interrupted him.

He held Catalina’s hand and they both left. Logan sighed and covered his face in guilt.

“What did I do?”

✧✧✧✧✧✧

“Cheers to an accomplished plan!” Franklin raised his glass up.

“Cheers!” The raised exclaimed as they clinked their glasses.

“Finally… That darn son will be out of the way,, with him out.. His little brother will be a piece of cake for us” Cora chuckled.

“Though I’d really love to f*ck her again” Roman smirked.

“Relax, there’s a next time for everything… Who knows maybe it’s her video which will be published the next. Like mother, like daughter!” Franklin said and they all laughed..

He made to sip from his drink when they began hearing gunshots. Their eyes widened as they looked at each other confusedly.

“Boss! Boss! The police… They’re coming for us!!” One of Franklin men ran in to alert them

All colors immediately drained from Franklin face.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<RESTAURANT>

“What are we doing here?” Sarah chuckled as Calvin guided her to the VIP section.

“Relax, you’ll find out soon” Calvin winked.

They went in the VIP section and Sarah froze as she saw the man she least expected to see.

“Sarah..” Lloyd smiled and stood up..

Sarah shook her head, refusing to believe he actually found her. He turned and saw Calvin looked at her too while smiling.

“Son, let’s go!” She grabbed Calvin’s hand and made to leave but Lloyd stopped them.

“Sarah please..” Lloyd muttered.

“Why did you come back huh! Is it to take my children away from me! I’ll never let you do so!!” Sarah shouted.

“They’re also my kids… And it’s not my intention to take them away from you” Lloyd said and Calvin immediately froze.

What did he just hear? Is he hallucinating?

“Your kids? What.. What are you talking about?” Calvin stuttered.

Lloyd sighed and looked at Sarah before looking at Calvin.

“Calvin.. I’m your father” He dropped the bombshell and Calvin’s eyes widened.

“My.. My father? What… What are you talking about?” Calvin stuttered.

“It’s true son, I’m your father” Lloyd smiled, his gaze becoming wistful.

No wonder he clicked so well with this man.. They actually do have a bond.

“Everything you told me, is it true. Do you have a daughter, who is she??” Calvin asked without thinking, his brain was in a complete mess as they spoke.

“Everything I told you is true.. Her name is,, Tatiana Thompson”
