Penny and Theo looked at each other, then back at Catarina.
"Master!" they chimed in unison. Penny continued,
"Mamma's four rules are: always stay close to Master, never trust strangers, never reveal our true identities, and never show our true abilities to anyone!" Theo added,
"And Master, we must always protect you and Pudding!"
"You two silly you don't have to call me master right now," Catarina said with a light laugh. The twins giggled at their mama they were little mage genius and had a high IQ. They both loved their mamma far too much to let anything happen to her so the twins already made a plan of their own to make it hell in that Lawrence Estate humph bully our mamma we will make them suffer.
Penny and Theo exchanged a mischievous glance, their eyes sparkling with excitement. They knew that their mother was not aware of their plan, and they intended to keep it that way. For now, they would just have to pretend to be their usual sweet and innocent selves. But as soon as they arrived at the Lawrence Estate, they would put their plan into action. The twins smiled at each other, their minds already racing with all the ways they could make the Lawrence family pay for hurting their mother. Catarina, oblivious to the twins' plan, smiled at them, feeling a warmth in her heart.
"I'm glad you two are excited. But remember, we have to be careful. The Lawrence family is not to be underestimated." Little did she know, her twins were already preparing for a battle of their own.
Catarina wasn't good at being affectionate toward the opposite sex but she happy to see her fiancé. As she looked at the hotel he will be staying at Catarina wore normal ripped jean shorts, she wore a long oversized T-shirt with her ankle boots she looked extremely cute she waved her finger around as a cycle appeared and Catarina walked inside it when she went through it brought her to an outside hotel. Grand Rose Hotel. This was a thirteen star hotel so it was expensive she walked inside and told the woman her fiancé is here. She walked up the stairs when she was at the door she felt odd.
As Catarina stood in front of the door, she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had suddenly settled in her stomach. She looked down at her attire, wondering if she was underdressed for a meeting with her fiancé at a luxurious hotel like the Grand Rose. But she pushed the thought aside, reminding herself that she was here to see him, not to impress anyone else. She took a deep breath, raised her hand, and knocked on the door. The door opened, and a tall, handsome man stood before her, a charming smile spreading across his face.
"Catarina, darling," he said, his voice low and smooth.
"You look lovely, as always." Catarina's eyes narrowed slightly, her instincts on high alert. There was something about his smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, something that made her feel like he was hiding something from her.
Catarina narrowed her eyes and she kicked the door open her mood was great up until now she was trained to read people she can sense that her fiancé is hiding something. She looked around her eyes landed on Lizzie her so called best friend.
"Lizzie what the fuck is this?" Catarina asked in a cold manner.
"Alex, I am pregnant," Lizzie said as she hooked her arms around Catarina fiance shamelessly. Alex was shocked but cleared his throat.
"It's not what it looks like."
"Really so my fiancé isn't fucking my best friend?" Catarina asked and she laughed coldly she walked passed Alex and stopped.
Catarina's eyes locked onto Lizzie, her gaze cold and calculating.
"You're pregnant with his child? How quaint." Her voice dripped with sarcasm as she turned to Alex.
"I think it's exactly what it looks like. You're a cheat, and she's a home-wrecker." Catarina's smile was a thin, cruel line.
"Congratulations, you two. You've managed to ruin my day."
Lizzie acted pitiful as she hide behind Alex and she whimpered.
"Catarina I am sorry, it just happened I am so sorry," she said and Catarina smirked this acting she is so used to it her three damn stepsisters also act like this in front of their parents when they want to put the blame to Catarina hence of her being a sacrifice.
"You are just a whore," Catarina said her mood was truly ruined she was angry!
Catarina's eyes flashed with anger as she took a step closer to Lizzie, her voice low and venomous.
"Don't play the victim with me, Lizzie. I know exactly what you are. A manipulative, lying, cheating...whore. You've been using me for years, pretending to be my friend, and all the while, you've been screwing my fiancé behind my back." Catarina's laughter was cold and mirthless.
"You're not sorry, Lizzie. You're just sorry you got caught." She turned to Alex, her eyes blazing with anger.
"And as for you, you're just a pathetic excuse for a man. You're not even worth my time."
Catarina walked out of the ice cream shop, her jaw clenched in anger and frustration.She felt like she was stuck in a never-ending cycle of toxic relationships. First, there was the psychopath who tried to kill her, then the obsessive mafia son who suffocated her and now Alex, who cheated on her with her so-called best friend. She couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her. Why did she always attract these kinds of men?She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. She held the baseball bat she smashed her ex fiancé car. The poor expensive car was not just smashed but it burnt in a fire.
Catarina's eyes gleamed with a fierce satisfaction as she watched the car burn to ashes. She felt a sense of catharsis, a release of all the emotions that had been building up inside her. She raised the baseball bat, feeling the weight of it in her hands, and brought it down on the car one last time, just for good measure. The sound of crunching metal and shattering glass was music to her ears. She stood back, her chest heaving with exertion, and surveyed the destruction she had caused. The car was a twisted, smoldering wreck, a testament to her anger and hurt. Catarina felt a sense of closure, a sense that she had finally taken control of her life and her emotions. She turned to walk away, the bat still clutched in her hand, and a small smile played on her lips.
"Catarina are you crazy!" Alex shouted that cost him two million credit union Krugers! Catarina just smiled as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Oops it seems your little mistress and you won't be going home in this expensive car so sad," Catarina said coldly her eyes were emotionless when she spoke to them.
Catarina's smile grew wider as she watched Alex's face turn red with rage.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I cause a dent in your precious bank account? How tragic," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She turned to Lizzie, who was standing beside Alex, looking pale and shocked.
"And as for you, dear Lizzie, I hope you're enjoying the view of your lover's expensive car going up in flames. It's a fitting end to your little affair, don't you think?" Catarina's eyes flashed with amusement as she watched the two of them squirm.
"Now it's official we are done our engagement is done Alexander Beaufort from here on out we are strangers," Catarina said. Alex felt like he lost something important he tried to reach over but Lizzie wasn't having any of that she grabbed Alex hand.
"Ahh my stomach hurts Alex our baby might…" Catarina ignored the two of them she threw the bat away.
Catarina walked away from the scene, leaving Alex and Lizzie to their drama. She felt a sense of liberation wash over her, as if she had finally broken free from a toxic relationship. She didn't look back, didn't even flinch as she heard Lizzie's fake pregnancy drama unfolding behind her. She was done with Alex, done with the engagement, and done with the lies. As she walked back to her home, she felt a sense of calm wash over her. She was finally alone, finally free to focus on herself and her own happiness. She smiled to herself, feeling a sense of peace settle in. She was Catarina, and she was finally taking control of her life.
Catarina's eyes gleamed with a fierce protectiveness as she gazed at the twins. She would do whatever it took to keep them safe from her family's cruel clutches. The twins, sensing her emotions, played their roles to perfection, addressing her as "Master" and obeying her every command. Catarina's disguise was flawless, transforming her into a ordinary woman, but her eyes still sparkled with a hint of her true nature.
