I don't know why you want me to go with you.

Come on, you know I like it when we both meet new investor.

Fine, I will go with you. He need to meet an investor at Enugu, so he and Craig fly on their jet, they both didn't say anything to each other, Craig tears is dropping, Gregory is looking at him.

He had cry through the trip when they alight, Gregory pull him into a hug.

What?

You are sad. Craig hugged him back. I am scared, I might die, I might not return to tell Cathy my feelings.

Gregory look at him and pushed his head. Are you nut? You can't die, if you die then I will take my life.

Craig laughed to cover his sadness. So you want Whitney to be a widow at a young age? Gregory laughed hard. I will just lodge in another hotel, since it's your client that book this hotel for you.

Alright, we meet up here tomorrow morning, so we can go together. Craig nodded, he walked into the hotel leaving Craig to go book for another.

Cathy is indoor since she arrives from Casper, Whitney and George walked in, so do Flora.

Hey, you all, what are you doing here? George notice that Cathy is crying but she had wipe her tears when they walked in.

We missed you downstairs, you didn't even come down from dinner and George had something to tell us.

Really?

Yes, I want to tell you all, I don't want you to hear it from someone else.

So what is it? Flora asked him.

I... the thing is... he stutter, Cathy jumped up and sit in the bed. I already know what you want to say.

George look at her, she smiled and caress George's face. I was really scared then that you might not fall in love.

George scratch his head. Is Betty right? You want to tell us you love Betty and want to get married to her?.

She said it all, George is having difficulty, he doesn't even know how to go about it but Cathy has help him out.

Is it true? Flora asked him, he just nodded. Whoa! It's a good thing, I am so happy that at last, you fall in love.

Flora kissed his cheek, Whitney hugged him as well

Thanks mother. He look at Cathy. Is it fine by you? She smiled.

Yes, I know she loves you too because I saw that same look she had for Craig on her face, I was getting scared that you are gynophobia, no philophobia because you talk to women but I have never see you talk about love.

George smile and hugged her. So, we can start planning for the marriage. Whitney said. so fast? Flora asked.

The three laughed. I need to sleep, I will be traveling tomorrow, for my conference, when I return we could start the plan, Flora hugged the three and was leaving, Whitney phone ring, she too had to leave with Flora.

Good night George. Cathy said as George stood up. I am not leaving, I want us to take a walk.

Why? I want to sleep. George smile, he sit on the floor of the room, Cathy jumped down from the bed, she lie on George's lap. You know, I remember you do this, when you get scolded back then by mother, she smiled.

Was I really a naughty girl that doesn't appreciate what people do for me? Was I really some bad fellow that keep causing trouble for people?

George caress her head. No, you are the best sister or daughter or lover that anyone could want in his life.

George, I hurt him, I just felt I didn't treat him right.

Who?

Craig, I called him a rapist, after he save me, he is sad because of me, I saw him walk out of the hospital when I was with Casper, I didn't know he followed me, yes, it's him, even though I didn't see his face, I know is him.

Cathy, do you love Craig? She shake her head. I don't know how to love, I don't even love Roe, I just wanted to get married to him, I don't know what is wrong with me, I am not capable of loving again, I don't want to get hurt, I don't want to be like Casper, he is just like me, he put his all into a relationship that will amount to nothing and then he get hurt.

For those two years that I left, I couldn't stop dreaming of Tony hurting me, I couldn't stop feeling bad that he left me because I am poor, especially when he throw me out, I had no one, no where to go, I was always in the street, I remember Luis, he too left because I was poor as well, so many times I want to give up but I have to struggle with the heart pain.

When I first met Roe, he was hurting me, when I want to rest, Roe will take me on training, he wouldn't let me rest, he won't agree I sleep because he needed to train me to be selfless, when I lost a contract, he will yelled at me and then lash me with whip, I wouldn't eat.

What? It's fine, it all ended three months because I was able to make it big for him after the fourth month, then he stop hating me, he stop hurting me, he start caring for me and was making life better for me.

George run his hand on his head, his sister had gone through rough days but he never noticed.

George pulled Cathy into his warm, she is hurt, she is broken, she felt deep pain, for years, she had bottle up everything inside, she had no one to share her pains, his tears drop.

Sorry for not been there for you, for pushing you away when you needed me most, for being a bad brother, for getting mad at you without feeling your pains, I didn't know that Tony did all those things against you and you suffer all those pains away from me

Promise me, you will not send me out again, even if I offend you. I promise and you should forgive brother.

She nodded, he press his lips on her forehead

I love you for understanding me and for not staying mad at me even when I hurt you. She nodded. I love you too and I hope that I get a little niece fast.

Silly, come on lie here. The two lie on the floor, Betty is listening to their conversation, now she understands the pain Cathy had gone through but she is brave, she is strong, she will move on with life like nothing happened to her
