Though, I try to piece together my life, I wonder: What events shaped me into the person I am today? How did my love for Dark Romance influence my relationships and choices? And what lies beneath the surface of my seemingly innocent exterior?
These thoughts consumed me as if they were betraying the underworld Truth. A life full of simplicity. This is what I thought. Until that day, when I found...

21th May, 1920.
CATHERINE POV:
"Mom this is Insane!" I exclaimed my voice trembling with hurt.
"How could you do this to me? I thought we shared everything with each other."
Mom's calm demeanor only fueled my frustration. She chuckled, a gentle, soothing sound reached my ears only to get..
"Dear, stop overreacting."
She said with amusement and calmness.
"You are being dramatic."
I pouted and raised my voice.
"Not fair, You are thinking about marrying and you are saying you already found a man."
I looked towards her with puppy eyes showing sadness.
"Mom that's rude you know. Why didn't you tell me sooner."
Mom looked at me, realising the gravity of the situation.
"Dear, Cathe I-I..."
I cut her off with my voice.
"No don't, I am disheartened."
The gravity was High, neither of us justified ourselves. Finally I broke the silence.
"If you have told me sooner I would have started preparing for the marriage."
Somehow my words didn't flech my mother. She just smiled. The smile that says. *I know your acts..
That's not what I thought she would react. However, I guess it was easy for her to read me. Afterall she is my mother.
"What!? I thought you would react. My acting skills are not that bad."
She chuckled, before answering
"Oh Dear, I knew this was all just an act. But I am still sorry. I didn't told you sooner."
I pouted..
You better be. Anyways I am happy for you. You deserve better Mom. Better...
I don't know, but my voice started to tremble as I remembered how Dad left us after my birth..
Somehow mom noticed the change in my demeanor.
She ruffled my hair.
"Don't think about it. I am always proud of you. It wasn't your fault."
She said, her voice soothing but I can see the sadness behind it. Mom loved Dad a lot. And it breaks my heart to see her hurt and sad. She doesn't know, that I watched her break into tears whenever she remembered him and that moment.
I just want to see her happy. But somehow the concept of mom being married to someone again still..
"I know you are worried but trust me. He will never betray our love. I trust him."
Mom's calmness and the depth behind those words. Somehow relieved me.
"And I trust you mom. I just want you to be happy. I love you mom."
I hugged her tightly.
Mom hugged me back, kissing on my forehead, before saying
"I love you too Cathe. You are too precious to me. I am grateful that you came into my life. You are my little Angel."

Later that day, we sat on the couch eating pastries that mom made.
*So who is this love of your life. Your Aka. Prince Charming."
I said, my voice has been calmer since our previous conversation. I looked at her stuffing more cake into my mouth.
Mom looked at me, and said..
"Mr. Carson..."
I chokes on the cake into my mouth falling into my plate. At I looked at her with surprise.
"WAIT WHAT !!!
You are marrying Mr. Carson Aka. The Business Man and CEO of Carson Group."
Mom gazes at me, as she smiled and said..
"Yes and we are going to settle into their Home by the end of this month."
