“Did I say something funny?” Logan raised a brow as they watched him laughed like he cracked a very funny joke.
“Well yeah, everything you two are saying is like a joke to me” Frederick laughed.
His laughter díed down and he looked at Logan.
“Dad… I’m 27 right?” He asked and Logan nodded.
“It’s good thing you know that and that means I’m too old for you to decide what I’ll do with my life. I’m not marrying this lady dad nor any other you’ll propose to me… And besides I now have a girlfriend whom I cherish dearly” Frederick muttered.
“Don’t tell me it’s that Watson girl?!” Logan frowned.
“How did you know?” Frederick raised a brow.
“So it is her! Frederick you’re never going to marry to a disgrace in that family! What will the public think when they learn your dating the daughter of a sl+t!!” Logan flared up.
“I have no idea of what you’re talking about but stop talking about my girlfriend that way.” Frederick said.
“Break up with her Frederick! She’ll do you no good!! She’s after your money!” Logan said and Frederick stood.
“If you’ll continue, then I’m leaving. I even regret coming here” Frederick said and with that, he began leaving.
“Frederick you’re not getting involved with that woman!! Frederick come back here!! Frederick!!” Logan shouted but he didn’t even turn till her left.
“This brat!” Logan hissed.
“Uncle… You said he’ll agree” Leanora muttered sadly.
Logan faced her and smiled.
“Don’t worry, everything is okay… He’ll come around” He assured her.

<NIGHT, LAMBERT MANSION>
Thalia could be seen standing by the window as she stared at the moon. She sighed out..
“Wifey” Flynn hugged her from behind and kissed her neck.
“Hubby” She smiled and turned to him, snaking her arms round his neck.
“Still think about the unknown killer?” Flynn asked and Thalia sighed before nodding with a pout on her face.
“I just can’t help but think about it.. It’s as if he has eyes on me everywhere I go” Thalia said.
“Okay, how about this? Let’s go on a short vacation to France.. Will your mind be at rest when we do so?” Flynn proposed.
“Really? You’ll do that?” Thalia eyes brightened.
“Sure… I’ll do anything to stop seeing this sad look on your face. We’ll leave in two days, how about it?” Flynn asked and Thalia smiled before nodding.
“I love you” She said and Flynn smiled before kissing her lips.
“I love you too” He replied and Thalia turned to resume staring at the moon while Flynn hugged her from behind.
“The moon is so beautiful” Thalia smiled.
“Reminds me of your head” Flynn said and Thalia frowned immediately.
“Wait you mean my head is that big!!” She exclaimed and Flynn smirked.
She scoffed and looked front. Flynn chuckled and kissed her neck.
“I love you” She muttered but Thalia rolled her eyes.
She smiled discreetly..

<THE WATSON>
“Catalina?” Calvin knocked on the door but she refused to open.
“She still won’t come out?” Sarah came to him and Calvin sighed before nodding.
“What if she heard the news” Sarah began panicking.
“Calm down mom… I’m not sure it’s what’s bothering her” Calvin muttered.
Meanwhile Catalina could be seen sitting on her bed as she hugged her knees while crying silently.
The moment she regained consciousness, she went back home and locked herself up. She looked at the phone containing the video in it..
She confirmed it, the phone was Roman’s phone. The question she kept asking herself was what was the video doing in Roman’s phone? Is he the second rapist?
Everything was clear to her now, she now remembers why they raped her.

FLASHBACK, 11 YEARS AGO**
13 years old Catalina could be seen strolling through the streets while admiring the various attractive things she saw on the road. A bright smile could be seen plastered on her face as she walked.
She suddenly stopped walking when she heard two voices discussing. Her curiosity was picked so she followed the voice and that’s where she saw two boys discussing.
The two boys looked like teenagers.
“I’m going to pay you 1000$ if you work with us during Frederick Reynolds birthday party and help us kill his mother”
“That’s a very hard task you’re asking but okay…” The other one agreed and they shook hands.
Catalina’s eyes widened..
“So here’s what we’ll do on that day. You’ll-“
Franklin stopped talking when a noise was heard. They both turned to see Catalina already running
“After her!!”
~~~~
Catalina shook her head and cleaned her tears..
“Those people, they’re responsible for Frederick’s mother’s dead… But why?” She muttered
“Had it been I remembered earlier, I could have saved his mother’s life… Frederick wouldn’t have gone through all that pain” She muttered, fighting back her tears
The most frustrating part is that she could remember the face of her rapists but they were so young back then,, how is she going to recognize them now?
Her phone started ringing and she looked to see it was Frederick. She immediately rejected his call.
“If I pick he’s definitely going to figure out something is wrong… I don’t want him to worry” She thought and began pacing around like a mad woman.
“What do I do? Should I report them to the police? No! That’ll be dangerous because they’ll know I’ve gotten back my memory and then get back at my family. What if Roman is among?” She thought and grabbed her hair frustratingly.
“What do I do?”
✧✧✧✧✧✧
<FRANKLIN’S MANSION>
“So now that the two are back, what do we do now?” Ellis asked, sipping a glass of wine.
“First we have to find something against Catalina, something we can use to threaten her so that she can do whatever we ask of her” Franklin said.
“And when she succeed in doing what we asked her to do? What next? We’ll let her live?” Ellis asked.
“Of course! Imagine this,, Catalina Watson known as Frederick Reynolds girlfriend poisoned him to dead and is therefore sentenced to jail… How does it sound?” Franklin smirked.
“I like that idea son” Cora smiled and sipped from her wine too.
“So we can now-“
“Franklin!!” Roman barged in the living room.
“Roman? What are you doing here!! Thought I told you not to come here. If Frederick finds out were friends he’ll suspect us!” Franklin frowned.
“We have a problem… A big problem!!” Roman said, almost panicking.
“What is he talking?” Cora rolled her eyes.
“I just landed today and I realized my phone is missing… It contained the video of what we did to that girl years back!!”
“What!!?” Cora and Franklin exclaimed loudly.
“The worst part is that I think,,, I think the phone is with my ex secretary” Roman muttered.
Cora’s eyes bulged out and refused to close..
“What the f*ck did you just do!! I clearly told you to delete it, why did you still keep it!!” Franklin grabbed Roman’s collar.
“It always turned me on each time I watched but not to worry… I’m sure she won’t understand the video even if she watched it. All I have to do is get back my phone” Roman said.
“You don’t get it do you!! Your ex secretary is Catalina!! The girl we raped!!” Franklin yelled and Roman’s eyes bulged out.
Reality hit him hard and at that moment, he knew he was doomed.
“I’ve heard enough, my plans are all doomed… I don’t want to go to prison,,, Satan please be gentle on me” Cora muttered weakly and like that,, she fainted.
“Mom!!” Franklin rushed to her..
“Mom wake up… Mom!!”
“Argh!!” Roman went down too, grabbing his chest as his asthma kicked in
“Roman!!”
✧✧✧✧✧✧
<NEXT MORNING>
“Good morning mom…” Catalina greeted as she walked in the living room.
Calvin turned and he quickly rushed to her then hugged her tightly. He broke the hug and began checking her out
“Are you okay? Did something happen? Why did you come back and suddenly lock up yourself!!” Calvin asked worriedly.
Catalina smiled..
“I.. I was just not feeling happy since I’m in my,,, period. Yes! Period” She lied and Calvin raised his brow.
“Women” He shook her head and walked back to the dining table.
Catalina took a seat too and they began eating in family..
“So tell us, how was your trip?” Sarah asked.
“Well,, it was cool and-“
“Catalina and her boss are dating!!” Calvin said and Catalina immediately hit his head.
“Will you shut up you big mouth. Was meaning to tell her myself” Catalina rolled her eyes.
“So it is true?” Sarah smiled and Catalina nodded.
“Well I have nothing to say. You’re old enough to know what is good for you.. So long as he makes you happy I’m happy too” Sarah smiled.
Her smile immediately fell and she looked back up at Catalina.
“Uhh,, baby? I need to tell you something before you hear it from anywhere else” Sarah said.
“I’m all ears mom” Catalina chewed of her meal.
Sarah bit her lips and looked at Calvin who smiled and nodded at her. She sighed and took a deep breath before telling Catalina everything.
Catalina stopped eating immediately as she stared at Sarah till she finished talking.
“I’m really sorry I hid this from you.. Now the whole country know and I’m a disgrace to you guys” Sarah looked down.
Catalina smiled and held her hand.
“You really f*cked up because you cheated with a married man but I forgive you… Nobody is perfect, we all have our own flaws and imperfections” Catalina said and Sarah smiled in relief
“Thank you” Sarah said.
“Let’s just act like nothing happened and whoever tries to mock my family I’ll treat her f+k up” Catalina smirked.
“That’s it sis!!” Calvin exclaimed
Catalina chuckled and suddenly her phone beeped.
She looked at it to see a text from an unknown number
_PLEASE MEET ME AT LILY’S RESTAURANT, I NEED TO DISCUSS SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO YOU, ABOUT FREDERICK_
“Who’s that?” Calvin asked.
“I don’t know I think the person wants to meet me” Catalina said.
“Should I come along?” Calvin asked.
“Oh no need! I’ll just go and see who it is it might be a client” Catalina said and kissed Sarah and Calvin’s head before leaving.
••••
FEW MINUTES LATER**
Catalina got down the cab in front of the restaurant. She walked in and looked around to see a lady who gestured at her.
She walked to her and took a seat in front of her.
“Good morning ma’am” Catalina smiled but Leanora ignored her and opened her handbag then brought out something.
“How may I help you?” Catalina asked and she placed a cheque in front of Catalina
“What amount of money will you need for you to leave my Frederick, write it down.. I figured out that it’s what shameless women like you want,,, money” Leanora said and Catalina’s eyes widened.
It slowly turned to a smirk.
Catalina picked the cheque and tore it in front of her. Leanora gasped.
Catalina brought out her own cheque from her bag and placed it in front of her.
“What amount of money do you want for a new brain, write it down coz you’ll seriously need it… Oh wait I forgot you can’t count that high since you’re dúmb” Catalina said and Leanora gasped again
“How dare you!! Do you know who I am!!” She flared up.
The door to the restaurant opened and Frederick walked in. He was surprised to see Catalina there.
Actually he stopped by to have breakfast but was surprised to see Catalina.
“Babe!!” Catalina stood up and walked to him.
“What-“
Before Catalina could finish talking she took Frederick hand and placed it on her àss before slamming her lips hungrily on his own.
The people in the restaurant gasped shockingly at that.
Leanora’s throat ran dry and she felt like a volcano of jealousy exploded in her head.
