The CEO's Painted Skin

"I"d rather have you scream at me, punch me and kick me hard until you get tired and feel satisfied to get your revenge on me . Just not like this, Cath! You are killing me with your silence, you are torturing me and yourself . Torture me instead, don"t torture yourself because our baby needs you! Please, hear me out, Cath . I begged you . I am so sorry for my mistake . I never meant to hurt you . Promised, I will never hurt you again! Just come back to me please . . . ," he continues begging at her immobile form .

One hour pa.s.sed, still Catherine remained silent like a frozen statue and said nothing to John . The whole three hours pa.s.sed quickly . Minerva already got back from her errands outside .

"Minerva, tell me everything regarding Catherine"s vitamins dosage, how many gla.s.ses of milk she needs to drink per day, her foods and everything . I will give you and Cora a day off every Sunday starting tomorrow, I will spend whole day and whole night with Catherine so that you guys can spend time with your family and loves ones at least once a week," said John .

Minerva"s face lightens up . "Thank you, Sir!"

She went to the kitchen and brought with her Catherine"s vitamins and milk and she began explaining to John the dosage of each items .

Ten minutes later . . . done with her explaining Minerva returned the items back into the kitchen .

"Okay, I already understand everything . I"m going out now . Please take care of Catherine for me," he said .

"I will Sir, don"t worry about her, leave everything to me," replied Minerva .

"Call me right away if something happens here or Catherine already starts talking, okay?" said John .

"Okay Sir," Minerva nodded .

John went to Catherine"s side and planted a loving kiss on her forehead . "Bye, Cath . See you tomorrow," he said and walked away from the living room area heading towards the door to go back home to Jade Tower .

The next day John arrived to the Twin Tower and the nurse who was on duty the whole night left the place for her rest day .

John and Catherine was the only people inside the flat .

Catherine already had eaten her breakfast before the nurse left . She was sitting in the living room, in the sofa which was her favorite place, staring at the ocean view .

John sat beside her and reached for her hands and caresses them, warming them up with his love .

"Good morning, Cath! The view is nice isn"t it?" he tried to start a pleasant conversation with her .

She didn"t reply, she didn"t even blink her eyes to give away that she heard what he"s been saying .

John pinched her cheek fondly .

"I will be accompanying you here all day and all night long . We will spend time on each other company . It"s kind of weird that I"m the only one talking here, can you please talk to me? I know that you are angry at me, now"s the time to get out of your hiding place and released your anger towards me . We are the only people here, scream at me, shout at me, hit me, slap me, and kick me! I will accept all your blows to my body as long it can appease your anger and can make you feel better inside, just talk to me please," he said .

Still no response from Catherine"s side .

John stood up feeling frustrated of her lack of interest to talk to him . He stood and starts pacing back and forth inside the entire length of the living room . He released a deep sigh, he shouldn"t lose his patience around her since he was the reason why she becomes like this, a living dead, because of a few minutes of cheating! John cursed himself . He hated himself for what he had done to her .

He walked back to her side and wrapped his shoulder around her arms drawing her closer to his body wanting to feel her warmth .

"I love you so much, Cath! I"m sorry that I cheated on you . But am not going to go all the way with that b.i.t.c.h woman, I just had a temporary weakness with my self-control and got tempted for a few minutes but I would never go all the way with her, at least you should know that . Sometimes I would like to kill myself for hurting you this bad, I"m so sorry Cath! You know that I love you so much! Please forgive me, I don"t know how long I can survive seeing you like this, it"s breaking my heart seeing you like this, so out of yourself . I will make amends and make it up to you, please, let"s start a new beginning, you, me and our child in your tummy . Please . . . ," he looked at her with his pleading eyes .

Their eyes meet for a brief moment, and then she stood up and walked slowly towards the bedroom . John followed her from behind . He opened the door wide for her to enter .

Catherine walked to the side of the bed and sat down, and then she lies down on the bed without making a sound . John gets into the bed and sneaked inside the covers behind her back as well, then he embraced her from behind spooning her .

John closed his eyes and enjoys the proximity of their bodies . His nose began inhaling her sweet womanly scent . The fire of desire starts burning in his loins . He felt a stirring of his loins with the thoughts of wanting to get intimate with her again . He wanted to make love to Catherine right now, they are the only people in the flat, why not?

If she will refuse, that means she has to talk and pushed him away from her body, and that would be excellent! all will end well, he has nothing to lose if he will try making love to her right now, just to see how she will react .

Maybe it"s worth exploring . . .
