Catherine's POV

I was startled when I saw the man's brown eyes, which looked both deep and sparkling beautifully. I could see the twinkling look in his eyes even though there was no particular expression on the man's face.

It was the first time in my life that I had seen someone's eyes that clear. The man's hair was also brunette in colour, which seemed to complement his casual but neat appearance, like that of a model student at school.

This was the first time I met the man in front of me, but strangely, I felt like I had already seen him on another day. I don't know when and where, but I'm sure that his face is something I've seen before.

I didn't think about it further, already coming back from my fixation on his eyes and noticing that his expression and attitude were very different from my assessment of the man's facial features that suited my taste.

I grunted, standing up to face him directly and glaring at him as sharply as I could. "Why don't you help me? Isn't helping someone

    Catherine's POV "What's with your expression?" Benny asked when we met. I looked at him for a moment before averting my gaze again. "Ah, I had a chance encounter with that annoying person earlier." "Hm.... I see." He muttered under his breath. "You don't need to think about that annoying person. Let it go, someone like that is not important to think about for too long." I nodded. "Yes, you're right. I really don't want to keep thinking about him." That man did have beautiful eyes and quite an interesting mindset, but thinking about the attitude of the man whose name I didn't know to me still felt annoying. I was silent for a few moments, still unable to get the man out of my mind before looking at Benny. "Ben, I have something to ask you." I finally spoke again. He gave me a curious look. "About what? You can ask it directly." "If I'm not mistaken, a few days ago you talked to a guy, right? Do you know anything about that guy? Like his name or major maybe." The man who had bee

    Catherine's POV I didn't expect that man to be from the Duncan Family. Some time ago, my father had talked about that man's family. This large and reclusive family had its own education system. They favoured the private education concept and never took formal lessons for the public like most other families did. That was because the Duncan Family had its own human resources, educators, and experts who could teach their successors, every member within the Duncan Family, and their fellow family staff. However, recently, the special family made a different choice. Their successor decided to pursue formal public education, and I had the opportunity to meet him. ".... would be useful if you knew the successor well, Catherine." My father said at that moment. I didn't expect what my father said to actually happen, even though I didn't realize it for the first time. Sarah sounded a gasp that brought me back to reality, her eyes looking wide at me. "Wow, you keep watching her...." She smil

    Catherine's POV I finally arrived in front of Nicholas Harvey and got his autograph on the book I had bought just moments ago. My hand then reached out, shaking the hand of my favourite author with a flowery heart. "Thank you, sir," I said with a smile that expressed my current feelings. He returned my smile in kind. "You're welcome. It's nice to meet a loyal fan like you, Miss Kate. I remember that you've been present at each of my past book releases." "Really?" I felt my eyes light up as I listened to her words. "I really do love your books, sir. Wherever or whenever your books are released, and there's an event like today, I'll definitely come to you no matter what." The man laughed. I could see his slow shake of his head and then his eyes that slightly shifted in another direction for a few moments before returning to me. "It looks like your girlfriend is angry that we chatted for too long. Come back soon and comfort him, Miss Kate." I wondered a little at the meaning of Nic

    Catherine's POVI'm a designer, so there was nothing wrong with the red dress that looked glamorous and glittered under the light. Over the years, I've gotten used to making all sorts of clothes, including something similar to this sexy dress seen in front of me.The problem was that I had never worn a dress that was cut low in the front and too revealing in the back. All the models I've hired have used dresses made by me, but this time, I'm like a model who can't help but wear clothes that don't match the clothes I usually wear.I don't know what mom, or maybe my dad, was planning to do with this dress. I was never given the chance to complain, so all I could do was accept their orders as usual.I knew that, in the end, my purpose for being in this family was to be courted by a big family that could be useful to the Varma Family in the future. Perhaps there was already a man who had personally asked me to wear a dress like this, or they just wanted to change things up since they hadn

    Catherine's POVI was falling. I was sure I felt pain where my arm had been hit and heard a ripping sound that I knew was coming from my dress, but there was something strange. My body doesn't feel pain at all, but rather, there's something quite soft holding me back from falling.I looked down and realized that someone had caught me in our stacked position. I turned my head to look at the person's face. It was Edwin.I could only stay transfixed by his calm face. His hazel eyes captivated me again, and I couldn't move from my position for a few moments. But then I remembered the tearing sound coming from my dress and finally saw the existence of the tear with widened eyes.The man's voice was also heard. "Are you going to continue being on top of me?""Sorry," I said and immediately stepped away from him.The two cats I had managed to grab had already jumped down from my hands, made loud noises as if in protest, exhausted themselves, and chose to stay a few steps away from us.

    Catherine's POVI was already in the car with my family.My father seemed to be in a good mood and looked at me and then spoke. "I didn't know that you could really get close to Edwin Duncan, Catherine. That's a very good thing. Why didn't you ever tell me?"I looked at the man, who looked completely different from his rigid and hard facial expression. Apparently, he could show me different things on his face and in his words, as long as I was his son, if I did what he wanted."Sorry, Father." I only said that in response.He started talking about something else regarding a man I wasn't really close to. My mother and brother were also involved in the conversation, but I wasn't listening at all.I only knew that they were still talking about the things that happened at the party, especially all the things related to that guy. I knew that my parents really wanted a son-in-law who had a strong position among conglomerate families like ours.Not only would it be useful to raise the status

    Catherine's POVI was walking with Benny when I saw a man walking past with one of the lecturers. They seemed to be chatting, and I was sure that the younger man was someone I knew.My steps stopped abruptly. "He's...."Benny followed the direction of my gaze, finding the man who had almost disappeared from our sight. "Oh, Edwin? What's wrong, Kate?" he asked, looking back at me."Wait here, Ben." I didn't reply to his words and quickly walked away.The man was already almost out of sight after rounding the corner, so I quickly caught up with him even though Benny called out to me several times behind me. I wanted to say something to him after we had to part ways at the party without saying anything to each other.My father was engaging the man in conversation, and I could only stand and watch the two, my brother, who was trying to blend in, and my mother, who was just standing by my father's side as usual without saying anything.I managed to catch up with Edwin, but the man still se

    Benny's POVSince my first meeting with Catherine, I've been attracted to her. She was an angel who made my heart flutter, even when we were too young to understand the meaning of love between a man and a woman.I liked her smile, pure white teeth, and the dimples I used to see when she smiled.She was a good woman, too. Since childhood, she has been very friendly with everyone. Although at first she was shy, after getting used to meeting many people, she was able to mingle with anyone. There wasn't anyone who wasn't friends with her or at least exchanged greetings when they passed each other.After being friends for quite a while, I finally learned about the various things this woman had to go through in her family. She was the first child, but because she was a woman, Catherine had no meaning in her family other than being a tool for her family's benefit.She was constantly pressured by her family. She did things she didn't want to do and only followed orders if she wanted to surviv

    Catherine's POVI looked at the man over my glasses, feeling mixed emotions inside me as I poured out all sorts of things I had wanted to say to him since last night but could only say today."Did you know that your family sent a marriage proposal to my family?" I began. "It wasn't that long ago that we entered college, Ben, but how could the proposal come at such an unexpected time and from your family."My gaze was fixed on his eyes, which were also looking at me. "Did you ask for the proposal to be sent to my family so that we can get married?"He didn't say a word in reply; he just squeezed his hands on each side of his body and turned his gaze away from me. I clamped my mouth shut for a moment."I'm furious." I took a deep breath, trying to control myself from overwhelming feelings."You already know I don't like this at all, Ben. Getting married. It's a new prison for me and indirectly proves to my father that I'll never escape the Varma family's female nature."I still remember

    Catherine's POVWhen I woke up, my head hurt, as well as my eyes, which were quite difficult to open even though I was awake. I seemed to have cried too much and fallen asleep immediately afterwards to have this effect.I felt thirsty and looked for a drink on the small table not far from the bed and grabbed it. I drank the contents of the glass in four big gulps and put it back on the table. My gaze automatically went to the large mirror on the other side of the bed.There, the reflection of my face looked messy. I really looked like someone who had just woken up after crying for hours. My eyes were puffy with traces of tears that I could feel with my fingers, my nose was slightly reddened, and the area around my eyes was slightly reddened.I stared at my appearance with mixed feelings. It's really embarrassing even though I'm the only one who sees this right now, and maybe one of the waiters who refilled my water, but it doesn't really matter because I have to leave for college in a

    Catherine's POVI was feeling tired.It's been one week since the end-of-semester exams, and I have to repeat the lessons of the whole semester on my own. I also have to read copies of the assignments I've done and notes from the lecturer on topics that might come up in the exam this time.I was so busy that I didn't have time to do anything other than study and get enough rest when night fell, that is, if I didn't have any assignments to complete for the practical exam.Arriving home, I already felt a piercing headache that made me want to lie down and sleep for a while. I still had to study for the theoretical exam and submit other practical assignments to the lecturer from other courses.I had envisioned a soft mattress on my bed, as well as blankets and pillows that would feel very soft on my body after I had exhausted my thoughts and abilities for today's exam, but it didn't work out.Someone knocked on my bedroom door and opened the door after I let myself in. It was one of the

    Edwin's POGIn my father's study, I was reading a book he recommended. He was also reading for a while, but then he put the book on the desk and looked at me."What do you think about our new project?" he asked, slightly serious but also relaxed.I moved the book out of sight to look at him. "The things they're doing are right. I can't find any flaws."He nodded. The report he had shown me this morning followed the book he had put down. It was about the business collaboration between the Duncan Family and the Thompson Family, with Benny and I as the chief executives, while our father was the funder and in charge.Although the two of us had not completely taken over the family business, our fathers had agreed to involve their family successors in this newly started business. Aside from the family interest, both of them said it was important for our future.I had no problem with that. After all, my father had taught me everything about our family business since I was a child and other i

    Catherine's POVAfter receiving the gift from Edwin, I was now only with Benny and his personal driver driving. The man sat down with me and then noticed something was different about my attitude.He rested his chin on one of my hands, which was still clasped tightly. "What are you holding on to? You didn't let go at all....""This." I showed him the bracelet.His eyes look wide. "Isn't that the jewelry you saw earlier? I thought you didn't buy it.""I didn't buy it."Considering Benny was also aware of what I was doing while looking at the jewelry, perhaps my liking for this bracelet was too obvious.My gaze was fixed on the bracelet, and I thought about how the man who had left the festival first had unhesitatingly bought me this jewelry and given it to me without anyone knowing. I don't know what that man was thinking when he bought me this, but the pounding of my heart was starting to feel too clear in my chest.The car stopped. I blinked, realizing that I had arrived in front of

    Catherine's POV"Thank you for buying me a drink, Duncan." I smiled, accepting the glass with a lid made of solid cardboard from his hand, and I immediately held the glass with both hands.He just nodded and passed the other glass to Benny.I took a sip of the relatively warm drink. It turned out to be a delicious chocolate drink. I felt relieved and happy. My legs even wiggled without me fully realizing it.Night had almost fallen, so it was starting to get cold. I remembered the embarrassing incident a few days ago when my skirt got caught, but in the end, the man came back to help me by giving me a warm drink after we had walked quite a distance.A loud snort was heard from Benny. "Why are you buying me a fruity and cold drink? I also want a warm chocolate drink like you guys." He protested.I looked at the two men who stood facing each other with glasses in their hands. Still, a noticeable smoke could be seen from Benny's slightly open mouth, probably the effect of the drink he ha

    Catherine's POVI was mesmerized by the festival atmosphere surrounding me. I've always liked things like this: simple and fun stuff without having to always care about manners or conversations that are always serious and filled with business or politics.Many booths were arranged according to their types, ranging from games, shops selling various things, and other equally entertaining booths. My gaze stopped at one of the nearby stands for jewelry of sale.My steps halted when I arrived in front of it. I looked at the various kinds of jewelry displayed and touched a few that I wanted to take a closer look at. They all looked pretty, but I didn't really want to buy them either; I just wanted to look around.I didn't have much jewelry, but my mother added to it according to my needs, so I didn't feel the need to do the same.A person who seemed to be the salesgirl watched me without saying much but then said to me after a while."Don't you intend to buy the jewelry, Miss? I think the b

    Catherine's POVI was always with Benny and Edwin. I felt happy because I was finally able to make a new friend again, and it was a guy I initially thought was quiet and cold.At first, Benny and Edwin always argued for whatever reason, but in the end, they always accompanied me wherever I went. We were like a unique combination, from three different majors and different personalities.I heard rumors about us hanging out, going to our respective classes or the cafeteria."Look, she can get two handsome guys simultaneously," whispered one of the students.His friend replied. "She's so lucky. I never even managed to get close to Edwin Duncan....""She's luckier because she's close to Benny Thompson. That guy is really nice and friendly."They said that and then talked about one of the guys I was with, who was probably my boyfriend.One of them spoke up again. "Isn't that obvious? His girlfriend must be Benny. They've been in a relationship for a long time.""Hm, I agree."There were som

    Catherine's POVI still felt uncomfortable walking on campus. Aside from my aching feet, my father's words before I was allowed to leave for the campus with our family's private driver also bothered me.I was happy with my friendship with Edwin and my friendship with Benny, which lasted longer than that. Both of them were friends to me, but my father always made our relationship seem like a transaction, trying to talk to them for the benefit of our family.He said that each of them would greatly help me prove myself in the Varma Family. Our relationship would make me valuable and not the only useless woman in our family, while all the things I had done before were meaningless in my father's eyes.I felt annoyed that my father shouldn't be behaving like that towards me, but also unable to do anything to stop it. As Edwin said, I was still not strong and had to extricate myself with the help of the allies that had just started from the man himself.My sigh escaped on its own, but after
