EPISODE 60

Catherine's POV:

I started college at Oxford last month.

It has been an exciting experience for me. I live outside the Dom all because Mom wanted me to have everything my heart desires.

It has been over six months since I moved to London. Business hasn't been moving well, even though my mother has been trying all she could to hide it from me, I still heard her talking on the phone to someone, her voice almost cracking.

Sooner or later my family company might get closed or sold to a new owner.

I wanted to help. I wanted to help in anyway I could but I don't know how.

I just didn't.

Apparently the company took a loan from the bank and there's no money to pay back millions of dollars and I felt bad that there's nothing I could do about it.

I speak with Talia everyday and everytime I wants to tell her about what's going on I hold my tongue back I didn't want to sound demanding. I knew that if I tell her she might help me somehow anyhow at all. I was sure of that.

I hope everything calms down soon because I don't have a good feeling about this.

I walked out of my psychology class with my backpack on my back I broke up my phone from my pants pocket and saw the missed calls on my goodness they were all from Anitra.

Ever since I left America, Anitra and I has been impossibly closer than I would have ever imagined.

He has been so sweet, considerate, he makes jokes a lot which makes me laugh a lot too. I appreciate him. I was glad to have him as a friend.

I dialled back the number and place to phone against my ear.

"Were you in class when I was calling?" Was his first question when he picked up the phone.

"yes and I put it on silent so I had no idea that you are calling me I just came out of the class and saw it so what's up? how is New York?" I asked.

"I don't know. I'm not in New York now, I'm in the UK since yesterday." He replied and my eyes widened. I was surprised.

"What the f***! you came to the UK and you didn't tell me? you just telling me? like seriously? I can't believe this. I'm seriously hurt." I said and shook my head.

I remember talking to him yesterday morning and he didn't tell me anything about coming to London.

we never had same if you're already gotten admission in said no I remembered after we got our final exam in Riverside high School back in New York he applied for Oxford as well as Ace. Well..... I found out when I went to the principal office.

Ace. I've never talked to him or asked about him ever since I came to the UK I just couldn't I couldn't bring myself to ask how he's doing if he already moved on or if.... I don't know what I was thinking what I was hoping that will happen.

I'm fucked.

"I wanted to surprise you. I'm sorry if you felt hurt." He apologized almost immediately.

Anitra has changed a lot since we became real friends and I'm here for this new him.

"It's okay. Where are you now?" I questioned.

"In my apartment. You want me to pick you up for dinner tonight?" He asked and i hummed.

"I'll be waiting."

I kept the phone back inside my pants pocket and started walking towards my car.

I should go to my apartment and have a nap before evening.

****

I was actually hoping that Talia would go for Oxford like I have always hoped for but she had a different choice. when she got admission to NYU I was sad but then I sucked it up and said "well, these are life she know what's best for her."

I was happy for her and hurt too. we were so far away from each other and we won't be seeing each other anytime soon because of school and that shit hurts a lot.

I missed America.I missed everything there even though I had wished to come back to London before now I think I missed America more than I hoped for.

I missed Ace.

I miss him a lot. the only time I could see him it's on the internet when he occupies the front page of each magazine in each newspaper with is girlfriend Chelsey Black.

Miss Veronica Hampton really did move on with what she said.

I am sure that he will soon engage Chelsey and then they will get married and I will be forever miserable.

what a nightmare.

I never wish for something like this to happen even to my own enemy.

I unlocked my apartment door and walked inside then closed the door behind me. I removed my shoes and slipped my legs inside the flip flops beside the door before walking further inside.

My apartment was one of the best apartments in Cambridge. Even with everything going on Mom still wanted me to have the best.

I dropped my backpack on top of the car and saw my room and walked straight to the kitchen to find something to eat because I was hungry.

I open my fridge and brought up there leftover spaghetti that I cooked in the morning and then put it in the microwave before walking out again.

my phone started ringing again and I grabbed it from my pants pocket. Groaning angrily since I just wanted to sit down and enjoy my lunch.

I brought the phone out of my pocket and check the caller, it was Talia.

My girl really can't go over there without calling me.

"Hello baby girl how are you doing?" I asked when I answered the call.

"I'm good, how is life treating you?"

"I'm still alive." I responded with a smile on my face.

She laughed for some minutes before slowing down.

"Liam told me that Anitra is already in the UK and Ace and Chelsey are already on the way to the UK since the both got admitted to Harvard." She told and my mouth dropped opened.

My heart beating loudly against my chest.

"What?" I whispered softly.

I just couldn't believe it.

I.... I just couldn't.
