The Alpha Bully
Chapter 54

Catherine's POV:

I was surprised.

I didn't want to be the heiress of a million dollars company, I didn't want to be the girl his mother had a grudge against. I want to be a girl he was in love with. Just a simple girl.

There were these feelings in the back of my mind telling me that the worst was yet to come.

Uncle Alex and Vivian have yet to try and contact me since I found out the truth and left their house. I don't believe that they would back off just like that. A man that went to a great length to kill his only brother because of greed can never give up just like that. I know this, and I'm scared.

I was so scared about what's to come.

What will happen in the future?

If there are still enemies like Uncle Alex waiting and awaiting their time for the right time to strike.

I was very scared.

I sighed and stood up from the bathtub, I opened the glass door and grabbed my towel from the door.

I walked inside my room with my towel in my hand and sat down before my vanity.

This is f****d up.

I didn't tell him that I'll be leaving in two days.

I was such a coward. I couldn't do it.

I couldn't find it in me to say anything to him.

I felt like if I said something then he would be sad. I don't want him to be sad.

I grabbed my phone and dialed Talia's number.

"Hey girl, what's up?" She asked. I sighed softly and closed my eyes. I felt shitty.

"I don't know how I feel, girl, it's definitely not great." I responded, I heard her shuffling around before it stopped.

"What's going on? You and Ace had an argument? What happened?" He asked frantically.

"I am leaving for London in two days, this time it might be permanent." I said and her breath caught. She went silent for a while be fore whispering. "You are leaving?"

"It wasn't by choice, Talia. Mom said I had to. She left for London today and a private jet will be picking me up on Sunday morning." I replied. "Wow." She muttered under her breath. "Did you tell Ace?"

I shook my head lightly as if she could see me. "No, I was scared to tell him."

"Don't make any mistakes, girlfriend. You better tell him now before it's too late. I will come over tomorrow." She told me and I nodded my head. "Good night." I whispered before I hung up the phone.

I am f****d.

I put on my pajamas and walked out of my room. When I got to the dining room I saw Margaret setting the table.

"I made lasagna for dinner. I hope you don't mind?" She asked and I nodded my head.

I sat down on my chair and started eating.

When I returned to my room after dinner, I laid down on my bed and grabbed my phone from the nightstand drawer.

My eyes widened when I saw the messages and missed calls from Ace.

When did he call?

Probably when I was downstairs, I left my phone inside my room while downstairs.

I dialed his number and placed the phone against my ear.

It rang out for the first time without him picking up and I tried it again but he wasn't picking up.

I quickly sent him a message.

'HEY BABE, I HAD NO IDEA WHEN YOU WERE CALLING. PLEASE CALL ME BACK WHEN YOU SEE THIS'

I switched off the side lamp and closed my eyes.

Did something happen? Why wasn't he picking my calls?

I was restless.

I wanted to talk to him so badly but it was late and I couldn't drive at this time nor could I go to his house.

A message came through and I quickly grabbed my phone, hoping that it was Ace but he wasn't the one. Mrs Veronica Hampton.
