“That bastard, he thinks he can just talk to us and… and just… leave?” Rebecca was fuming, her anger was almost so close to being uncontrollable.Her stomach twisted with all the sick things that she intended to do to Kai and Catherine, how she intended to bring them down until they’re nothing more than insects.But right now, she has other things to focus on. Her worries weren’t just about how to make Kai and Catherine suffer and make them regret treating them the way they just did.It’s been about five days now and she hasn’t been able to contact anybody, not even her sister or her colleague at work and she knew….Rebecca knew that this wasn’t right, she and her sister aren’t supposed to be behind bars for this long without access to the outside world but Catherine had rigged the game.Catherine had used her powers and ordered the cops to keep her and her sister locked in this stinky, dirty cage, keeping the truth about their whereabouts hidden.“THIS IS CRAZY!” Rebecca yelled, just

“How long do I have to wait before he calls again?” Nora thought to herself, her mind had been spiraling since she went to meet the person who had promised to help her.She hadn’t even seen his face and a part of her felt like she should have listened to Jake and instead of waiting around for a call that may never come in, she should have done things her own way.But that person, they sound powerful and she had a gut feeling that teaming up with them wouldn’t end bad for her even though her mind was telling her otherwise.They both had a common enemy and until that enemy is pummeled to the ground, neither of them would betray the other. Nora knew this.She also knew that as soon as the stranger finished with his plan to bring down Kai and Catherine then there would be nothing stopping him from coming for the Benson family.“I know you’re waiting for that call and I already asked you once before so I won’t say anything else,” Jake’s voice sounded from behind her, jolting her out of her

Minutes turned into hours and Catherine didn’t lift a finger to work, she couldn’t sign the stupid quarterly reports that were brought to her.She had instead scanned through it and pretended to not understand anything even though all that was needed was for her to sign, she claimed she had no idea where to sign.She watched as the male executives hovered over female employees like vultures, offering “mentorship” that was nothing more than thinly veiled harassment and one of them had almost tried it with her.“A pretty woman like you has no business lifting a pen to work, you should be in the bedroom, relaxing.” One of the men said, winking at her and Catherine could feel her blood boiling.“Well clearly, a certain senior of mine doesn’t share that feeling.” Catherine laughed but her insides were filled with nothing but venom as she stared at him.“I’ll help you.” He’d said and with that, he took the one from her, signing the report without as little as skimming through it.Hours bled

Kai’s voice cackled in her ear, it wasn’t the kind that was borne purely out of something funny but because he was livid and he knew that he needed to keep himself grounded or he was going to do something irreparable.He could see the man through the small camera in the glasses she was wearing and aside from the vow he made to her, he intended on going all the way.He’s going to make that fool regret ever thinking he could act with Catherine in that manner.“You’re fuming,” he eventually said, his words coming out as if he had struggled to make that sound, “I’m sorry for putting you through this, two more days.” He added.“You have no right to tell me I’m fuming when you sound like you’re about to barge in here and wipe this place completely out of the map.” Catherine responded and Kai sighed.“Fair enough,” he murmured, laughing in her ear, the sound enough to make her forget about the terrible way her day was going, “you don’t want to blow your cover in the first ten minutes.” He ad

“Miss Ramona, you’re late.” The voice snapped across the office floor like a whip and Catherine almost didn’t know that she was the one being referred to.She didn’t want to come, she had thought that the plan was to only see the way they treat people based on their appearance but Kai had other plans.He had told her to resume and only stay for three days and in that span, they are to work together to get some strong evidence against that company.Kai isn’t just up against the Benson sisters, he is also up against every corrupt organization and he had meant it when he said they should remake the world.“Miss Ramona, I’m talking to you.” The voice came again and Catherine’s anger grew even larger, what had first come to her mind was to punch whoever was standing behind her in the face but she didn’t as she reined her anger in.Catherine turned, heels clicking against polished tile, and found a woman staring at her. The woman looked like she was in her early forties, sharp suit, lipstic

Catherine adjusted the wig one last time in the rearview mirror, forcing her lips into a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.She was still angry, seething but she needed to do this experiment so that she can know the best way to ruin that company permanently.The makeup was heavier than she liked, the sunglasses covered half her face and she smiled at how much anonymity she was going to achieve.Her face was always on the papers and so everyone knew what she looked like but right now, no one would recognize that she is Catherine Pierce.“Ready?” Kai’s voice came from beside her, low and steady, though she could still see the faint red welt on his cheek.That single mark, the fact that someone had looked at Kai and thought it was smart to slap him that hard made her chest ache with anger and so much frustration.She wanted to storm back into that building and burn it to the ground for daring to touch him but instead, she only nodded, reached for the door handle with a fake smile.“
