My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

After three hours of travel, Owen parked the car and persuaded Cathy to follow him. Cathy didn't care anymore what happened, and she followed Owen without the slightest suspicion.

Cathy could only see Owen's broad back and feet following the person in front of her without glancing around. She noticed she had entered an elevator, but she had no idea where they were headed. Her head was blank, and her heart felt like it was frozen. She didn't know what to do to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling.

As soon as the lift opened, Cathy felt a cold wind slapping her face. Only then did she woke up from her trance and walked out while looking around her.

There were several tables and chairs there, under the roof of the sky that had just darkened. There weren't many visitors there, but she felt the burden of her mind lift when she looked around.

Cathy looked at Owen with a confused look as if asking where they were.

"I grew up in this town. This place is very famous for relieving sadness. Amour Tower has one hundred and one floors, and we are on the highest floor. I will wait here while you can enjoy the night air at high altitude." Owen explained still with his trademark smile before going to a bar on the same floor.

Cathy was intrigued to walk straight ahead to a tall iron fence. She realized that the more she walked closer to the fence, the more chilling the air became. She embraced her own body, and her eyes widened when she saw several small buildings spread out below her.

Cathy enjoyed the cold air enough to forget all the facts she had just received. Unfortunately, her body was not able to withstand the freezing temperatures up here.

"You'll freeze if you don't sit down." a woman sitting nearby greeted her.

"You... are... not cold?" Cathy struggled to say it because now her body was shivering because of the cold temperature.

"Try to sit down first." replied the woman inviting Cathy to sit across her.

Cathy walked over to the woman and sat down on the chair the woman indicated. As soon as she sat down, she felt something warm creep up from her buttocks and back. Not only that, when her hand touched the table in front of her, she also felt the same warmth. Gradually the cold felt no longer there, and her body was no longer shivering.

"There is a heater in the sponge chair, and this table is designed specifically to warmth our body so we won't be freezing to death while sitting here." explained the woman.

Earlier, Cathy's brain was not working well because the cold temperature froze her brain. But now, she could see the woman's face and even recognized her.

"Aren't you Felicia Bernz?"

Felicia smiled crookedly at the mention of her name. "You seem to remember me?" she asked sarcastically.

Cathy felt herself making a mistake by sitting across Felicia. She knew from the start that this woman had never liked her out of jealousy. In Felicia's eyes, Benjamin treated Cathy special. Cathy herself did not like this woman either because Felicia was the type of spoiled rich girl and believed she could get whatever she wants.

"I didn't think you would remember me either," answered Cathy politely. After all, she didn't want to make enemies, especially with someone who seemed to have a good relationship with her uncle.

"No. I can't remember your name. What's your name?"

Cathy sighed again at the cynical tone of the woman in front of her.

"My name is Catherine West."

"Ah, so you're Kinsey Alvianc's fiancé."

Cathy rolled her eyes lazily. She was tired of trying to deny the rumors, and what was more was that her brother had no intention of fixing them.

"Has Kinsey gotten bored and dumped you?"

"..."

"Isn't that why you came here? Because you got dumped? This place is very famous for heartbroken people."

"?!"

"If there weren't a tall fence standing in the way, there would certainly be many who committed suicide because of being abandoned by loved ones. Ironically, I was thinking the same thing when Benben turned me down."

Benben? Is this woman talking about her uncle? If she remembered correctly, she had heard Felicia called her uncle Benben. So she guessed the person meant by the heartbroken woman in front of her was her uncle.

Cathy did not know Felicia, nor was she close to her. But she was pretty sure that every time Felicia came to Star Risen to see Benjamin, her uncle was always soft and gentle with her.

Cathy was sure that her uncle also had a thing for this woman. So she did not understand why his uncle neglected his beloved.

"Forget it. It looks like I'm already drunk talking about this to his niece."

Cathy's eyes widened at hearing this.

"You know Benjamin is my uncle?"

"I know. Before Vincent left, he told me. He even told me to accompany you in his place." said Felicia in a flat tone. "Sorry, I couldn't see you because I still haven't recovered from the one-sided love."

Now Cathy was getting confused. How close is Felicia and Vincent's relationship that her lover told her about her relationship with Benjamin and even asked Felicia for help to accompany her? Cathy didn't understand at all.

"Do you know Vincent?"

Felicia looked Cathy's eyes with a flat gaze then went back to sipping her glass of wine again. Now Felicia's head was resting on the iron fence on her left with a sigh.

"It's nice... This iron is very cold against these chairs and tables. It feels so comfortable. You don't want to try it?"

Cathy was not interested in the comfort Felicia was referring to. She just wanted to get an answer to her question.

"Are you still in touch with Vincent? Is Vincent still calling you? Do you know where Vincent is now? Do you know Vincent and uncle Ben are cousins?"

In the midst of Cathy's consecutive questions, Felicia's forehead frowned. Then waved her hand to stop Cathy's endless interrogation.

"Why do you have so many questions? My head is getting dizzy."

"I just want to know whether I have family blood ties or not. With Vincent... can we be together or not?"

Unfortunately, Felicia couldn't answer because now she was asleep with her head against the iron fence. Unconsciously Cathy bit her lip in frustration seeing Felicia just asleep without answering her after putting her in a mess.

"Cathy, why are you here?" all of a sudden, a cello-like voice was heard above her head.

Cathy looked up and was surprised to see who was now standing next to her.
