Chapter 1: Catherine

Can you imagine yourself on South Beach in Miami, Florida? To be honest it's so calming and good, this is one of the most popular beaches in Miami, the sand is white, the ocean is a blue-green colour, this beach stretches from the 1st to the 24th Street South from Miami Beach on Ocean Drive.

The atmosphere is young, joyful, almost carnival. Here you have to be seen! Oiled muscles, unveiled curves, the bodies show off, proudly exhibiting their attributes. Let me introduce myself, Catherine Forester, and I have a habit of pushing people away for fear of becoming too attached to them and then losing them. I have very pale, almost creamy skin, I have two-tone eyes, gray and amber, but I wear gray lenses to hide them, my hair is jet black and wavy, I have a heart shaped face, full pink lips, I'm not thin but neither am I fat, let's say I'm fit and round with a flat stomach, breasts that don't fall out don't point out either , I have calabash breasts, I am 1m70, chicken legs but firm and slender in their own way, and I am twenty-three years old.

At nightfall I hurried to put my beach affairs away then walked for a while before getting into my car, a Gallado LP570-4 of the Blanc-pain noir edition and I sped at the speed of the wind while listening and singing "The Wolf" by The Spencer Lee. I took the street that led me to the street of 1435 Brickell Ave, Miami, FL33131.

I am in Downtown Miami district, in this district is one of the most luxurious hotels in the city. The Four Seasons. The Four Seasons is a 242-meter tall, 72-storey skyscraper, it is the tallest building in the state and the tallest residential building located south of Miami.

As soon as I arrived, I parked in the parking lot then I entered the hotel and I took the elevator to my suite, I stay at the Four Seasons while I do repairs in my villa. The elevator opened on the 29th floor, my presidential suite has three bedrooms, one of which has a king size bed that of course I occupy, I am not even talking about the size of the suite, a full bathroom in marble and a powder room for the guests, living and dining room and to finish an incredible view on Biscayne Bay and Cityscape.

So I went to my room, I undressed and I went to the bathroom, I took a bath then I dried off, I put on a crop top and a little shorts, I pulled the curtains on the huge glass windows before turning off the lights and going to bed and finally falling asleep.

.....................

I'm playing with my brother in our old house and suddenly the house catches fire, I see my mother and my father die, burned in the flames.

I woke up with tears streaming down my face; I still hear the grim laughter of my parents' murderers.

...................

It was 7.20 am, I got ready in a hurry, but I'm happy with the end result. The navy blue dress hugged me like a second skin and put my body in value and my curly hair was perfect. When I got out, Stephen my bodyguard was already at the wheel of the car and in less time than it takes to say it we arrived in front of my company, the company House of Forester, which is in Downtown Miami, it is a skyscraper of 60 story sky fully glazed with an underground parking for employees and normal parking for our customers, my company is concerned with technical research and creating revolutionary technology, I got out of the car with Stephen and when I walked in in the company everyone was already at the cleat on their individual job and greeted me on my passage, I took the elevator to go up to the top floor and when I got out my secretary was waiting for me and gave me the documents I needed for the meeting.

"Good morning Mrs. Forester, these are the documents"

"Good morning Jack, thanks, you're lovely"

He immediately began to blush and I gave him my best smile before heading towards the meeting room, once arrived in front of the two large doors I took a deep breath then entered the room and immediately all heads were turned to me. The meeting room is spacious, the table is gray from both ends then declining and ebony and wengue, this design is very anchored in the ground, very monolithic as its function demands. The table is wide, long and rectangular in shape since the building is made of glass, the Sun majestically enters the room, the view from the room is panoramic and magnificent, especially at sunset, I know something about it because I come often sit there at night to clear my head from time to time. I walked around the table and went to sit at its head.

"Good morning everyone, I'm Catherine Forester"

"Good morning," they said in union

After some brief presentations, I started on the subject for which we were all present. This was the creation of a unique robot, after I was done, one of them asked me a question.

" I understand your point of view, but this technology is still unstable, don't you think that this could lead to irreparable consequences?"

" Yes precisely ... I haven't finished yet"

He stood up

"A robot that would be able to have human feelings and interact with us human beings as if they were humans themselves; he sneered, well it's impossible and even if it was and you manage to accomplish this miracle it is possible that they will become our enemies."

" I do not allow you to criticize this project which I, my employees and my teammates we are working on...''

"I have not finished Miss Forester, I AM NOT INVESTING ...," he said in a strong and categorical voice.

"And for your last point, like I said we're still working on this; he wanted to say something but I raised my hand to stop him, I understand that you aren't going to invest, so, the door is wide open for you Mr. Visconti,'' I said with an icy voice

" I'm sorry if I sound arrogant but if I wasn't that important to your project you wouldn't bring me in, would you?"

"If you want to leave, leave immediately or I will get angry and it would not be very nice to see Mr. Visconti."

"It's perfect then, bye."

He pushed back his chair, greeted everyone, turned to me with a sad glint in his eyes.

"you are about to make the biggest mistake of your life."

With that he left the room, I clenched my fists as I watched him go out, after he left some people left but the others signed the contracts after a long discussion and debate. I would have liked Mr. Visconti to participate in the project, despite his ego and his arrogance, he excels perfectly well in his domain.

After the meeting I locked myself in my office in a rage, but who does this asshole, arrogant selfish and full of himself think he is?

My thoughts drifted about how he looked; his luscious lips, his perfectly square jaw adorned with a beautiful well-groomed shadow o'clock, his wavy auburn hair that sometimes due to the sun could be brown, black or downright golden and sometimes fell back on his forehead, dark tanned skin, broad shoulders, muscular, tall and his hands were large, his Italian accent and to finish heterochromic irises turquoise blue and emerald green I mean by that the two different colors are united in the same iris and it's fascinating, the dragon eye.

I was so focused that I didn't even realize someone had entered the office.

"Never in my career had anyone stood up to me," I said out loud

'' There is a first time to everything."

This voice was familiar to me, I raised my head to face a handsome man with jet black hair, amber eyes, with dimples that widened so much his smile was wide, a perfectly square jaw with the shadow of a 4 day beard, athlete body in a midnight blue tuxedo with a gray tie with a sky blue shirt, black moccasin and midnight blue pants, and this magnificent specimen of the male gente is my twin brother.

I got up, walked around my table and threw myself in his arms, he hugged me tightly.

"I missed you so much Shane."

" I missed you to little sis."

He held me at arm's length and examined me as a mother would after a long separation.

"Soooo, who is the man who stood up to the beautiful woman who serves as my little sister?"

"Dr. Dereck Visconti."

"Wait a minute, are you talking about that modern tech genius who almost succeeded in creating the robot you're trying to create? Are you talking about that guy?"

"Yeah, I said, rolling my eyes."

"But I hope you know the robot didn't perform as it should?"

"Of course, the robot in question was easy and he is the only person to have gone so far in creating this machine but I want to go further and that's why I need him in this project."

"And I guess it didn't turn out the way you wanted otherwise you wouldn't be brooding and ranting in your office, I pity your employees when you're in a bad mood."

"Asshole, I said crossing my arms under my chest."

He burst out laughing

"Tonight whether you like it or not we'll go to a nightclub sister, so get in your best attire to attract alpha males."

"Being my brother you're supposed to not want me to be with a guy and want to keep me from suffering, but instead you cheer me on."

"Yeah, I don't want you to end your life alone like a bitter old woman and her twenty-six cats. So I don't even want to hear a "but" is that clear?"

" But... "

" Catherine what did I say?" He said with a reproachful air

" That you didn't want to hear from," I said rolling my eyes

" Exactly," he said with a smile

With that at the end of the day he dragged me home and stayed there until I found the right dress.

It was a strapless, sleeveless wine red dress with a deep and quite revealing neckline, it reached me above the knees and hugged my body like it was a second skin.

My hair is curly thick, no makeup except a little gloss and to finish I wore black pumps. It was only after all this that my brother seemed satisfied with the result.

"Perfect," he said, detailing me from head to toe.

........................

My brother took us to one of the most prestigious nightclubs in Miami Beach called LIV in the Fontainebleau hotel which is just as prestigious. We meet celebrities, tourists, locals, in short everything and the music was varied except on Sundays when it only plays hip-hop.

The women ogled my brother who in turn winked at them and she began to blush, as for me practically all the men turned around in my path without exaggerating.

Finally we entered through the VIP frame and as soon as we entered my brother and I started dancing and a few hours later we were completely drunk and there I felt a man's hands resting on my hips and pulled me to him, I stuck even more to him by twweking and rubbing against him on the song "I wanna fuck you" by Akon ft Snoop dog, suddenly he spins me around and when I recognized him I was in shock.
