Catherine turned back, only to see someone she wasn't expecting. William and Bruce were dressed in a neat white top and trousers as they walked in their direction from the left corridor. 'What is he doing here?' Catherine questioned herself. 'Maybe they are workers here, but from the type of clothes on them, they don't look like employees. Meaning, the words of my mom and Bridget are true, and he left me for another woman, as the William I know can't afford to lodge in this kind of expensive hotel.' Catherine concluded after inspecting the two as they came close to her. With a pained expression on her face. "Please, continue to lead the way," she said to the man at her front as they walked away. William rushed to get to her as he saw her walking away. "Catherine, wait." Bruce shook his head for his boss; he knew that William deeply loved Catherine and was part of the reason he retired from the "Supreme Military Corps," even after becoming the supreme general respected by everyone.
Catherine forced herself to focus on the task at hand, making a mental checklist of everything that needed to be done. It wasn't as easy as being said. She tried to remain calm and composed in her heart, but she could feel frustration kicking inside her since she saw William here, and she couldn't describe the feeling of that moment. 'Catherine, calm down and focus on what you are here for,' she told herself. She took a deep breath and pushed open the door, entering the meeting room, the air thick with the scent of expensive perfume. Inside the meeting room, Thomas Hidalgo, the young heir of the Hidalgo empire, stood beside a large window overlooking the city skyline, dressed in an expensive silver suit. He was a tall, handsome man with a piercing gaze and an air of authority around him as he stood still with his hands in his pocket. He slowly turned to face Catherine when he heard the opening and closing sounds of the door. "We see again, Mrs. Catherine, as it has been a while,"
Thomas was someone who was ruthless in his deeds until he got whatever he wanted, no matter the cost. "Keep an eye on her and report every single detail to me when it's necessary," Thomas said furiously to a huge man kneeling before him with his head down while still pouring more wine for himself. This was the second bottle he finished after the meeting with Catherine. *BANG* "Ahhhhh." He hit the table. *SCATTER* *SCATTER* With anger still present within him, he grabs the empty wine bottle and throws it hard towards the other end of the room. *THUD* "Catherine, since you don't want it the easy way, then I'll use the iron-fisted method." He paused, then got hold of the other empty bottle and repeated the same thing. "I'll so much deal with you in such a way that you'll wish that death take you away." After draining down the remaining content in the cup, he also threw the glass cup away furiously. *SCATTER* *THUD* The sound of glass breaking rang out in the room as he clenched
"GET HER TO ME...." With that, the call ended.The guard whose name was Liam, a evil grin formed on his face immediately he was given the command. "Time to act!"*CRACK* *CRACK*The crackling sound of his knuckles and neck was heard as he readied himself."I enjoy doing this for young boss always." With a sly thought in his head, he knew if he got this successfully done, he would get some credits from his boss.******Unaware of the incoming danger, Catherine slowly continued to drink.This was the second bottle she was taking, and it's already halfway finished. She ignored the fact that it going to take effect on her as she nods her head sideways, enjoying the cool music playing in the background."Hey lady," A young man approached her and took the available seat near her. "I have been watching you from a corner, drinking here all by yourself."Catherine looked at the man and ignored him, returning her gaze to her precious wine.Seeing that he had been ignored, the young man didn't g
Catherine was trying to struggle herself out of the grip of Steve but the hard drug taking effect on her was too powerful, she had never tried taking hard drugs in her life which made her vision blurry talk less of fighting against the person holding her.Steve made sure he added a good quantity of the cocaine to make it react faster and attack her body system, succeeding in weakening them. Catherine was passing through a severe headache as if her brain was going to burst out any moment and her body was out of her control which was strange to her.'Is the effect of me drinking too much alcohol?''Why are there a lot of holes on the ground? the ground is shaking, earthquake?' 'If I have known this is the painful effect behind the drink, I wouldn't have drank too much of it,''Holy moly.... This pain is unbearable!' She cried inside her head in pain as different thoughts occupied her brain and the more she thought about it, the more the pain and there was nothing she could do about it
"Finally, I won!" Bruce cheered as he danced around, directly drinking from the wine bottle. "It wasn't easy winning against you; damn, making it 6-1.""You were a bit lucky, if not, I could have given you a clean sheet but it seems like you buckled up not to allow such," William smiled, watching Bruce dance around childishly."I'll go sick for days if I can't win a single one in any of the games, but I was able to win one in this chess game." Bruce reveals his white teeth as he smiles.For the past hours, William and Bruce have been busy playing games, challenging each other, but no matter how much Bruce tried playing, he wasn't able to win a single one in any of the games. Pool game, checker, backgammon, risk, and stratego, but he wasn't able to win except finally in the chess game after losing good six times."You know I'm good at these games; I have played them a lot in the past, so against you who don't have time for games, there is a probability that I'll win since I am used to
Liam took the lead, checking if everywhere was clear for free passage not to be caught by the security personnel.Steve and John struggled in carrying Catherine, holding her across her shoulders, feigning and putting up a fake act that they were helping a drunk lady.It wasn't easy to avoid people seeing them with a lady in such way, suspecting them but these people swipe the thoughts off their head seeing that the lady in question was sleeping or have gotten over drunk and the boys might be her guard who were getting her to lodge to regain herself. Moreover, they decided to mind their business since they don't even know the lady, then why will they involve themselves in it.After 30 minutes, they were able to Thomas's lodge after difficultly avoiding CCTV cameras and other crowded areas.KNOCK! KNOCK!Liam calmly await the response of his boss.Thomas was alone in the room, the faint smell of cigarette fills the air as he inhales the smoke from the cigarette in his hand, drawing the
"I will make sure you're awake when doing my thing and let you fully experience what is going to happen!" Thomas spoke with hatred in his voice as have an evil plan up his head.This wasn't the first day that Catherine have rejected him, he has tried several times and with different method, but she kept rejecting him. Catherine clearly knew the kind of person he was which was why she kept on with it the rejection."This will serve as the punishment for making me look like a fool," Thinking about the past was making him more angry.Thomas began to shake her violently, trying to wake her up but it didn't work."Wake up you b*tch"His yell resounded in the room.He made a move towards the mini fridge at a corner, then took a cold bottle water before going back to her.He empty the whole water on her head.Immediately Catherine who was unconscious tried to open her eyes that felt heavy. " Where I am?" That was the question that struck her head the moment she regains her consciousness as d
