Chapter 10:

Catherine's POV:

Sadness is all I feel. What other emotion would be possible to feel during this time?

He went through with it. He actually did it. He killed them. The people I loved most.

As my thoughts cloud my mind, I hear my phone ring.

Another one? What are they going to tell me now?

Your grandma, grandpa, and cousins fucking died? How much worse could life get?

But I didn't want to answer that. Because I know life can get far more worse.

I grab my phone off the charger and answer it, dreadfully.

"Hello, Catherine."

"And who is this?" I ask, trying not to snap.

"It's your parents lawyer." The mans voice answers, calmly.

"Oh, hi."

"Your step mom and dad have left a will. They wrote it both the day they got married."

"And?" I ask slowly. What does this have to do with me?

"They left any house they bought to you, also 20 million dollars."

My jaw drops, "What the fuck...how?"

"Turns out your step mom got a large inheritance from her father when he died."

"Oh."

"Yes, oh. Anyway, I need to know how old you are?" I hear him grab some papers.

Why would he need to know my age?

'"I'm 18, why?"

"Well, if you were younger than 18, you would have to go live with a guardian or foster home. But now you get the choice to live alone, or you still have the option to live with family."

I think for a second, should I go? What would Harry do? Would he do the same to them as he did to my parents?

I wipe my tears from my eyes, "I-I'll stay here."

"Okay, Catherine. We will put the money in the bank, and I'll have someone come over to sign the house over to you. And, I'm very sorry for your loss."

"O-Okay."

"Thanks for your time." He says.

"No problem, bye."

I hang up the phone and walk to the kitchen and turn on the stove and boil some water.

I start thinking about my parents. Why them? Is this what Harry meant by me knowing nobody could hear my screams? That I would be all alone?

My lips shake and I wipe the tear falling down my cheek away.

I walk over to my cabinet and pull out a tea bag and honey.

After making the tea, I turn around and see Harry standing there.

"I guess we will see each other a lot more." He smirks.
