CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE
HARLEY’S POV
I was so scared when we found Burke on the ground he was lying helplessly. The doctor said that we brought him right in time and that he would have suffered from a stroke. This is all Diago’s fault. If he didn’t interfere in my business my fairytale life would still be perfect.
“Ouch my head”, Burke said from the bed.
I turned to him and rushed over immediately I heard his voice “, babe, babe how are you doing?”,
“Catherine, Catherine, he called.
It felt so painful to hear him call her name but what can I say it’s this or nothing.
” Yes baby, your Catherine is right here, I’m here you need rest, please don’t stress yourself, I said brushing my hands on his hair”, I said.
“Get off me, ” he said, pushing my hands off him.
” Darling, I know it’s been a long day, you’re trying to get your head wrapped around these things but I just want to let you know that I am here for you”, I said, still confused about why he pushed me off.
“Where is Catherine, I want to speak with Catherine, Catherine please listen to me, hear me out Catherine”, he kept on calling her name.
I’m that moment I realized that Burke must have recovered his memories and now I know that my life is going to be hell. If he eventually does, I don’t have the slightest idea what I am going to do.
This is all Diago’s fault, I didn’t want to disturb Burke any further, and I was so damn mad with Diago for interfering in businesses that aren’t his concern, I left the hospital boiling with anger and drove straight right up to the mansion.
Immediately I got there I saw Diago getting some food ready. I assumed he was going to the hospital to give it to Burke.
“Hang me the basket of food”, I said to him angrily.
“Thanks for your offer but don’t worry I’ll get it to my Lord myself. He replied.
” Diago, I said to hand over the basket to me”, I screamed …
“And I said no, Hayley is there something you want to say because it isn’t this basket that is pissing you off something is eating you up and it’s only right you say it now”, he said.
” Yeah, you’re damn right something is pissing me off and it’s you, you go about telling Burke that I am not Catherine all in the name of being loyal and all that crap but that is bullshit, fucking bullshit”, I said.
” Well, it’s Burke’s choice to decide the bullshit he wants to be involved with right, not mine”, he said.
“Oooh Diago you don’t know what’s coming for you, if Burke finally finds out that I am not Catherine and decides to punish me, I’ll let you know that you are going down with me and there is nothing or anyone else can do about it, I am going to fuck you up real bad that you would wish you had never crossed my path Diago”, I said.
” Well, game on Hayley, you think everyone is scared of you, let’s say everyone is scared of you, you should know by now that I do not give a fuck, and whatever you say not are just empty threats, you are too small for me Hayley you should know this by now”, he said laughing.
“You are laughing now but I promise you that I’ll have the last laugh”, I said, frowning my face.
” Hayley, don’t ever stop me except if you have something reasonable to tell me, I can’t continue to listen to your rubbish I have somewhere to catch up with”, he said and left me standing like a log there …
Every one of them is supposed to fear me, the mention of my name Hayley is supposed to send shivers down their spine but this is how they talk to me now, my anger grew worse still after my encounter with Diago I wanted to do something that would hurt them.
I went into my room, eyes red, heart racing fast, and head thinking of what to do but not coming up with any solution yet.
“Hayley, Hayley you have to do something, they have to fear you, you rule they are under your beach and every one of them”, I said to myself as I looked into the mirror.
“You can do it, you have to do something, Hayley you are more than this, hurt them where they would have never expected, I hit my fist in the wall because no idea was coming to me and there was blood in my hands, it really hurts to harm myself but I had fucked up, Diago has messed things up for me, I went into the bathroom got a clean towel and placed it around my injured arm, I could feel the goddamn pains in my spine.
I stood there massaging my wounds for a few minutes and then immediately an idea struck me. If I can’t be Catherine then no one would be Catherine. The only way to do this is to get rid of Catherine.
“Oooh Hayley your brain is fucking smart”, I said to myself with a crooked smile on my cheeks.
I opened my drawer and brought out the dagger in the room, I hurried out of the mansion and headed straight into the dungeon
“Catherine, Catherine, I called at the top of my voice.
“What the hell is wrong with you Hayley, have you lost your fucking mind”, Ava said but I choose to ignore her because she is not my target.
I walked up to Catherine’s end of the room and there she was staring right back at me
“What do you want, Hayley”? she asked.
” I want to kill you so that there would be no more Catherine”, I said firmly whilst holding the knife very close to her throat.
