Julian nodded, standing up from his chair.
"Alright, Kitty. I'll take care of things here. Don't worry about anything, I've got it under control." He smiled and walked with Catarina to the door.
"I'll see you later, okay?" Catarina nodded, a small smile on her face.
"Yeah, see you later, Julian." She turned and left the office, heading out to pick up her triplets. Julian watched her go, a look of admiration on his face. He couldn't believe how far Catarina had come, and he was grateful to be a part of her life. He turned and went back to his desk, getting back to work with a smile on his face.
As Catarina walked out of the office, she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She had built a successful business and was providing a good life for her triplets. She thought about her children and couldn't wait to see them. She smiled to herself, thinking about how much she loved being a mom. She might be 17 years old but she won't trade the triplets for the world. She took the soul bus after that she walked out she went to elementary school she saw two little girls who looked like each and their brother when they saw Catarina they screamed so loudly.
"MOMMY!" All three them yelled
Catarina's face lit up with a warm smile as she saw her triplets running towards her. She knelt down to greet them, opening her arms wide for a group hug.
"Hey, babies! How was your day?" she asked, scooping up each of them in turn for a squeeze. The triplets chattered excitedly, telling her about their day at school. Catarina listened attentively, laughing and asking questions as they spoke. She couldn't believe how fast they were growing up. It seemed like just yesterday they were tiny babies, and now they were in elementary school. She felt a pang of pride and love for her children, grateful to be their mom. As they walked home together, Catarina asked them about their favorite parts of the day, listening carefully to their responses. She was grateful for these moments with her children, and she knew that she would always cherish them.
Catarina was confused why are they so many people. Her two daughters and son also wanted to see what was going on. As three them stepped forward they heard someone screaming.
"Oh no a child fell in the water!" Someone shouted. Catarina didn't even think twice she jumped off the bridge and dove in the water as she swim.
"Ahhh someone jumped off the bridge!" Someone shouted. Catarina swim up as she held the small boy in her arms. On the other side Evelyn was a woman who fall and Justin saved as she coughed out she looked at Catarina shocked.
"Eve since when did Cat know how to swim?" Justin asked.
Catarina swam back to the surface, holding the boy safely in her arms.She ignored the commotion around her and focused on getting the boy to safety.As she reached she laid the boy over.Evelyn was extremely jealous of Catarina and also jealous as she clenched her jaw damn it shouldn't that bitch be in the slums.
"Oh no I didn't know that someone was drowning I can't swim," Evelyn said.There was an old man next to her.
"You saw a kid drowning your boyfriend here can save the boy but instead you stood there!" The old man snapped. Evelyn was shocked ever since she was little she has always spoiled.
The boy face was white and Catarina pushed down on the small boy chest over and over again. The triplets pushed through the crowd. Sasha, Fairy, and Apollo all looked their mama. Sasha opened her pink backpack and rushed to her mama holding out a bag that had her medical needles. Acupuncture needles the three kids always carried them since they wanted to follow under their mama footsteps.
Catarina's eyes lit up with gratitude as Sasha handed her the medical needles. She quickly administered CPR, using her knowledge of acupuncture to help stimulate the boy's heart. The triplets watched anxiously as Catarina worked to save the boy's life. After a few tense moments, the boy's eyes flickered open, and he took a weak breath. Catarina smiled, relief washing over her face.
"He's going to be okay," she said, smiling at her children.
The crowd began to murmur and whisper to each other, their voices filled with a mix of shock, awe, and curiosity.
"Who is she?" someone asked.
"How did she know how to do that?" another person wondered.
"She's so young, but she's so confident and skilled," a woman commented. The triplets stood proudly by their mother's side, beaming with pride as they watched the crowd's reaction. Sasha, Fairy, and Apollo exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes shining with admiration for their mother.
"That's our mom," Sasha said, her voice filled with pride.
"She's the best!" Fairy and Apollo nodded in agreement, their faces lighting up with smiles.
There footsteps that came forward and Catarina turned and saw Ryder whose eyes widen his people took the little young master Ryder nephew Sterling away.
"Catarina thank you for saving my nephew," Ryder said a gentle voice he can't believe he is seeing her again. Catarina stood up and dusted her hands off her pants and she shrugged her shoulders.
"Nothing," Catarina said. Ryder was truly an eye catcher and the faxed that Catarina makeup that covered up all beauty watched these two looked like a match from heaven. Catarina's eyes widened in surprise as Ryder wrapped his suit jacket around her shoulders. She hadn't expected him to be so... chivalrous. She felt a shiver run down her spine as his warm breath caressed her ear, sending a flutter through her chest. Ryder's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze piercing and intense.
"You're shivering," he said, his voice low and husky.
"I think you're in shock." Catarina's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with the sudden proximity to Ryder. She didn't like being touched, but Ryder's touch was... different. It was as if he had a calming effect on her, like a soothing balm to her frazzled nerves. She felt a spark of attraction ignite within her, and she quickly suppressed it. She couldn't let herself get distracted by Ryder's charms. Not now, not ever.
"I'm fine," she said, her voice firm, but her eyes betraying her. Ryder's eyes crinkled at the corners, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
"I think you're more than fine, Catarina," he said, his voice low and husky.
"You're amazing."
