Catherine's POV
After a long time, I finally said, "Since when did you have feelings for me? We don't see much of each other."
Leo turned around and said, "That day, when I went to your company to look for you, I was deeply impressed by the way you reasoned with me. I don't know why I like you. I think I am just like that. There are things that I know I shouldn't do, but I just want to give it a try. At first, I didn't think my feelings for you were a big deal. I thought I could control my emotions, and I could get you out of it any time I wanted. I thought I could convince everyone around me with my acting skills as if I was in a show or something. But I was wrong. I am obsessed with you, and I'm trapped in it. Catherine, it hit me hard when I heard that you are marrying Blake. Only then did I realize that I couldn't get you out of my mind. I'm struggling. I don't know what to do now."
As I listened to him, I was at a loss, too.
If Leo hadn't said this to me himself, I would have thought that Leo considered me as a friend.
"Leo, I don't know how to talk you out of this, but you've got to stop it. I'm sorry. I know I might hurt you more by saying this, but nothing will ever happen between us. Blake is my mate. Our wolves have recognized each other," I said.
Leo nodded. "I know. I can see that you and Blake love each other very much. You are the perfect match. Don't worry. I don't mean to stand in your way. I just need to tell you how I feel. Otherwise, I would have suffered every day."
I knew Leo was a man with moral boundaries. Now that he told me so, he must have made up his mind to put an end to it.
I wouldn't laugh at him or get angry. I just wanted to find a way to solve this problem.
The air was stagnant. We were both speechless and a little embarrassed.

I thought Leo and I would never get back to where we were.
"Don't tell Blake, OK?" Leo broke the silence, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
I nodded. "Don't worry. I won't tell him. This is between you and me."
"Catherine, will you think differently of me?" Leo raised his head, his eyes filled with sorrow.
"Not at all. I get it. I felt the same way when I met Blake. But time can make everything go away. Do not be too hard on yourself. Let's just pretend it never happened, OK?" I was actually more worried than Leo.
Because I loved Blake deeply. I didn't want to be the one who ruined their brotherly relationship. I would feel terrible about it.
Leo nodded. "Forget what I just said, if that makes you feel better. I was drunk and didn't know what I was talking about."
"Can we still be friends just like before?" I asked in a low voice.
"I don't know!" Leo's Adam's apple rolled. "I never want anything from you. I'm serious. I will keep reminding myself that you're my brother's wife."
"Thank you!" I felt so awkward.
Leo reached out. "Give me the contract. I'll sign it!"
"Don't you need to check again?" I passed the contract to him and asked softly.
Leo shook his head. "No need. If there is anything I can help you with, I will."

I wouldn't ask him for help anymore. I used to think that he might be helpful in my career sometimes. But now that I thought about it, each time I asked him for help, I brought misery to him.
"Well. I should go." I took the contract that he had signed. I said in a low voice, turned around, and left hastily.
I held the contract in my hand. My palms were sweating, and my body was still trembling.
I tried to look calm in front of Leo, but I was not. I panicked and felt helpless.
"How could this be?" I had a headache. I wasn't mad at Leo, but it was still very hard for me to accept this fact.
"What should I do?" I banged my head slightly against the wall of the elevator, hoping to forget what had just happened.
I should see Leo less from now on to save both of us from embarrassment.
Just as I got into the car with the contract, I received Blake's call.
"Hey..." I felt guilty that my voice was a little stiff.
"Where are you now? Are you at home?" Blake's gentle, doting voice came through the phone.
I answered honestly, "I'm out. I have some work to deal with."
"Come to my company. I have something to show you!" Then, Blake hung up the phone.
I couldn't focus on the road when I drove. I was still in shock from what just happened.
I arrived at the headquarters of the Chavez Group, and easily found my way to Blake's office.
There was a smile on his handsome face. When he saw me come in, he rose from his chair and went before me. With his long, slender legs, he moved gracefully. He said with a slightly mysterious voice, "Guess what I've got for you."

Blake held my hand and walked to his chair. After he sat down, he pulled me onto his muscular lap.
Blake reached out and opened the drawer next to him. He took out a small, exquisite dark box. I looked into his eyes in surprise and excitement. "Is that a wedding ring?"
"Yes!" Blake replied softly. Then he opened the box. It was a wedding ring with a big diamond on it. It was breathtaking.
"It's such a huge diamond!" I couldn't help but exclaim. I had never seen such a huge diamond before.
"Do you like it?" Blake asked gently.
I couldn't hide the joy on my face and nodded. "I love it. It's so pretty!"
"And?" Blake raised his eyebrows with a dangerous hint.
"And what?"
Blake stroked my smooth and long hair. Then he pushed my head toward his. His lips pressed to mine. "I want a reward."
I lowered my head, my heart racing.
"I will put it on your finger on our wedding day," Blake said. "You can think about it carefully now and decide if you want to marry me!"
I tilted my head and thought seriously. "Do I have other choices?"
"No. You have no other choice but to marry me. Plus, the kids can't wait to attend our wedding," said Blake.
I looked into his charming, deep eyes, and threw my arms around his neck, burying my face in his shoulder. "Blake, I'll always choose you. You are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I want nothing but to watch the kids grow up together with you."
