Chapter 168: Catherine

"Benjamin was like Chris. A foreign student. He met your mother outside the palace. I know it was love at first sight for him but Catherine only sees him as a friend. When I met your mom, I remember it was the day I started avoiding Chris and Lucia."

FLASHBACK MATTHEW POV

I wanted to be alone in a quiet place but my father ordered some of his men's sons who were also studying in this school to guard me. They were always following me, not even giving me any space. I felt so suffocated.

I wanted to talk to Chris and Lucia but my father's eyes were always following me. I couldn't even check my phone to see their messages or answer their calls because those scumbags would tell father about it and he would definitely check my phone. He could even replace my number. I couldn't allow that. Every time my phone beeps, I know it's either Chris or Lucia. That was the only thing I needed to feel that they were still with me.
