Embrace Love's

CH 34'S. Mary Meet

Catalina looked in amazement at the beautiful woman who was sitting on the catwalk. Never thought if her sister Marilyn would plunge into the world of modeling.

Ever since she learned of the whereabouts of Marilyn and her mother, who was her father's first wife, Catalina knew her brother hated her and her mother. Marilyn has been working in nightclubs since her mother suffered from prolonged depression after finding out their father was remarried to Catalina's mother. The father left nothing behind after dying from the pain he had suffered.

Catalina touched Joanna's shoulder, wanting the woman to turn her head and hear what she said.

"Yoan, I want to see her ..please."

Yoana looked into those blue eyes and knew for sure who Catalina wanted to meet.

"Patience. Let him finish and we'll see him after that."

Catalina nodded and looked back towards the stage. He was glad Marilyn could do what she liked now, no longer having to serve and deliver drinks to nightclub customers.

Claude heard Catalina and Yoan's talk clearly. He looked up at Marilyn on stage. The girl looked different from the last time she met him. Look prettier and I don't know, excited maybe? His smile grew and he seemed to enjoy what he was doing.

After the top where Marilyn showed off one of the latest designs from renowned designer B House, among the applause that shook the big studio, Yoana pulled Catalina's hand and invited her to meet Marilyn. Vincent and Claude looked at each other and stood up, following the two women.

Yoana takes Catalina to a huge dressing room. Some of the girls who met him nodded their heads and greeted then they narrowed their eyes at Catalina who was held captive by Joanna.

Yiana smiled, Catalina came with Claude. Of course these girls are curious as to who Catalina really is, as Claude is known to have never been close to anyone since four years ago.

The door of the changing room is open. Joanna comes in and lets Catalina follow her . He looked at Marilyn, who was undressing, being helped by a girl. Joanna signaled the girl to come out, and she went out and closed the door.

"How are you, Mary?" Catalina approached and stopped a few steps behind Marilyn. Their eyes met through a large mirror in front of Marilyn.

"Would you like to see me?" Marilyn asked flatly.

"Why did you give my name to Joanna Bernard? You've already received your money, Mary. All your money" said Catalina fiercely.

"And why is Leon still there for you? Didn't you leave it to a couple who would adopt it?" Marilyn chimed in Catalina's words calmly.

Marilyn's words made Catalina speechless.

"Don't judge me Lina. Admit you lied to me too! Don't ask me to apologize. I have absolutely no regrets about doing it. Swap Leon for all this .. I just want to live better and do the things I love."

"But you made me pay for it, Mary. I had to live in Bernard's family until Leon could adjust to them. I lost my chance to get into Eliza Hospital. A place I've wanted for a long time. What was after Mary? I have to leave Leon there with them, and then what about me?"

Catalina's voice was already hoarse withstanding the cries. I don't know why he feels alone and lonely. The only outpouring of love and affection, Leon, was only a matter of time when Catalina had to split up and leave him in Bernard's family, and his only blood sister hated him so much.

"Don't complain Catalina. You should be grateful for your life! You loved your mother and received love until the end of her life. Give you at least a little legacy to live well. You are educated and have a job! Me? Mom's crazy! My father spent all his possessions on his treatment until he died! I have to live by serving the striped men in the nightclub! Then the man I thought loved me .. he left with a baby!" Marilyn cleansed her watery nose, her tears flowing.

"I'm looking for an opportunity to do the thing I love Catalina. God is still kind enough to send Serge to take care of me! Did you ever know that I was almost raped in that club! You don't know, do you!? you're protected and living well! I have to do everything myself!" Marilyn shouted her pain at Catalina. The girl was crying sobbing.

Catalina gulped, her own eyes watering for some time.

"So don't try to tell me Lina! You never tried to survive in the night world while trying to maintain your body and sanity!"

Silence erupted after Marilyn's last words. Catalina felt her heart as if in a crumb. He never tried to get close to Marilyn knowing that Marilyn hated him. So he did not know what kind of life Marilyn had lived in this city. Their different residences in the city made Catalina not think too much about her sister.

"I'm sorry ...," a stifled whisper was heard from Catalina's lips before she finally left the dressing room. Marilyn must have hated him even more. At least her sister did not want to see her face after their eyes met in the mirror.

The closed door of the room made Marilyn drop her body on the chair. His feet were trembling, he cupped both hands to his face and sobbed loudly.

"You never knew the suffering I was going through, Catalina ...."

In the hallway between the dressing room rooms, Catalina ran inconstantly while crying. He blames himself selfishly, he never knows what Marilyn's life is like, he only knows and thinks Marilyn lives a fun and irresponsible life. The agony in her brother's blue eyes seemed real and painful, and she came with aggravation and wanted to judge him.

Catalina stopped when she saw a wide room down there. A piano is placed in the middle. Around the place there are stairs until the hall forms like a basin. He stopped and sat down on the stairs. She cried again and released her heart after seeing Marilyn.

A pat on her shoulder made Catalina look up. Doctor Luigi was already standing half-bending on the steps of the stairs. Catalina looked very surprised to see Doctor Luigi there. He blinked his eyes repeatedly.

"It's really me Catalina. Luigi. What was? Why are you crying?" Doctor Luigi sat down next to Catalina and extended his handkerchief to the girl.

"Remove your tears with this."

Catalina took the handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"Why are you here, Doctor?"

"Can you just call my name? We are no longer partners in the clinic. I'm no longer your boss. Call me Luigi."

Catalina was silent. He looked down with his handkerchief still closing his eyes.

"Isn't that on stage your brother?"

Catalina nodded at the question.

"Then where's Leonard? Who were the people who took you from Eliza the other day? Was the baby you were carrying at the time Leonard?"

Catalina nodded and spoke again. "Yes. That's Leonard. Those people are Leonard's father's family."

Luigi frowned with a hardened jaw. He suspected that the man who pulled his shoulder away from Catalina was Leonard's father, and his assumption was correct. Catalina just confirmed her conjecture. What the man wants to do is hold Catalina, it's not enough that he ruined Marilyn and left her first. Now these two brothers are back to life under the man's grip. Luigi was very sure Catalina was forced, but he could not guess the reason Marilyn was there, whether the girl was indeed forced or indeed was there of his own free will.

"Lina, do you want to get out of here? I can help you disappear and no longer find the Bernard family."

Behind the wall at the end of one of the hallways leading up to the stairs of the hall, Claude clenched his hand. He waited there when he arrived and saw that Luigi's doctor was sitting beside Catalina who was crying, he heard the whole conversation with his heart on fire and his anger ignited.

I'll make sure you can't do it Doctor Luigi! You won't be able to touch my Catty a single hair, much less take her running away from me.
