The Dark Secret of the Actress
Chapter 34 RGSA - The Man In The Bathroom

Viona looked at Catalina hatefully and failed to hide it. But Catalina had no time to care about it. He was very sick of this family and if he did not consider having to find out something, his pretentious face must have been thrown using whatever was available.

Who did he think he was to dare to look down on him?

If he did not remember the fact that she was the biological daughter of Tatiana's adoptive parents, for whatever sake, he would make her regret having underestimated him.

"Oh, honey, are you coming?" The soft voice of Yoana broke the silence. He did not bother to move in welcoming his adopted daughter, he remained seated in his chair and simply patted the empty seat beside him. "Come and sit here, Tatiana!"

Catalina nodded and slowly walked over to Joanna and then sat herself in an empty chair beside her as she requested. Only then did he get to see the mood of Joanna and Edgar seem much better.

Viona, needless to ask, how ugly her face was. But don't expect Catalina to care. The uglier his expression was, the more pleased he felt.

"How are you doing? Is it getting much better now?" Yoana clasped Catalina's fingers under the table and looked at Catalina with a gentle gaze.

Catalina nodded. "Now much better. It's just, I still have to do physiotherapy."

"Then eat more." Yoana helped fill Catalina's plate with meat and vegetables, then she also asked the waiter to make warm milk. "You need to stay healthy and be stronger in the future."

Catalina was not touched at all by all the kindness Joanna did. For some reason, he felt his kindness was not that simple. He was sure he wanted something from her. But, what is it?

"Oh, don't talk anymore. Let Tatiana enjoy her meal in peace. He hasn't been home for a long time. If you keep talking, you're gonna make him uncomfortable." Edgar who was silent, opened his voice. His words refer to Joanna who had just spoken. The Atkinson family's dining table rules clearly prohibit anyone from speaking at meals.

Joanna nodded and did not speak anymore.

It was quiet throughout dinner.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying dinner but not Catalina. Besides being forced to swallow his food, he still felt that there was something wrong with this family. He felt like this house was storing something that made him uncomfortable.

After dinner, Edgar spoke, "Bring Tatiana with you! Show me the way." He gave orders to Joanna who was beside Catalina.

Catalina. Took him? Whither? Wh-wh-what for?

Not yet had time to find the answer to her question, Yoana first helped him wake up and then took him away. "Come, Honey. Don't disappoint us. You know, we love you the most. And if you love us, do what you have to do."

"You mean?" Catalina still did not understand what Joanna meant. He always said he loved Tatiana and loved her the most, but what did they want him to do? Paying it? By what? In what way does he have to pay for what they say in return for their affection?

Joanna smiled gently. "You haven't been here in a long time, and I know you're still not used to your old world. But you have to get used to it from now on."

Catalina raised her eyebrows, still clueless. Old world? Rehabilitate it?

For quite a while his brain spun and after the turn stopped, his control was immediately jolted. All the words that came out of the woman's mouth, could it be?

No. gabe.

There's no way.

This is no longer possible or probable. This is no longer something that should be doubted. This is no longer something that remains to be questioned. This is no longer a question mark without an answer. Everything Joanna said was as clear as day. And he knows exactly what it means.

Knowing what Catalina was thinking, Joanna confirmed, "Yes, Tatiana, exactly as you think." He carefully led Catalina down the stairs. Then down the corridor. But along the way, Catalina is busy with her own thoughts and has no time to think about where Joanna is taking her.

A huge pain suddenly struck his heart.

His feet even became limp. His body staggered and almost fell to the floor. If Joanna did not support him, she would definitely not be able to do anything more.

"Be careful" said Joanna. "You know it's dangerous?"

Catalina. He was enjoying the pain that almost killed him. Like knowing something you never thought of. As if thinking it had come out of the forest, but it turned out to step on the suction mud. Not a way out, but a great disaster awaits.

Catalina looked at Yiana with a sharp look. And Joanna smiled. "Don't look at me like that, Tatiana" she said. Since the girl had just woken up from her coma, she did not mind explaining more. "You haven't been here in a long time." He tightened his grip on Catalina's arm. "You know how much loss you've created? That's a lot. We can almost support our family for a few months. And you know what you're supposed to do? You have to make it up to me." There was a strange glint in his eyes and there was a slight threat in every word he uttered. No. gabe. Almost all of them are threats.

Catalina glares. Damn this woman. He's not human. He's devil. Only her beautiful face made her look like a human, but in reality, she was more sinister than a demon that came out of a hellhole.

Unfortunately Joanna doesn't know if she's not Tatiana. So such a threat did not scare Catalina. He wanted to see with his own eyes to prove that everything he thought was wrong.

Tatiana, her precious Tatiana, was impossible, it was impossible for such a sweet girl to live such a crazy life. It's definitely not real. This must not be true. This can't be happening. And he shook his head, not believing. More precisely refusing to believe.

Along the corridor, the scene was presented like someone entering the hotel. The door was lined up along the wall and it was quite a lot. Catalina could not even use her fingers to count. And he thought this room was located underground. Unfortunately, he did not notice the door when he entered. He just remembered them coming down the stairs. Which means, this room is right downstairs.

Their footsteps did not stop and when they reached the end of the hall, Joanna stopped. Catalina also stopped automatically. Joanna reached out and wiped Catalina's hair then placed it behind her ear as a way to comfort. "You're so pretty today. And I'm very satisfied with your appearance."

Catalina was silent, not responding. Seeing Joanna's annoying face, he refrained from spitting on her.

A few moments later, the door opened.

Catalina and Joanna looked at it simultaneously and seeing the situation unfolding before their eyes was astonishing. While Catalina was dumbfounded, Yoana's expression was still the same, unchanged from beginning to end. There was no trace of shock there, which meant that this scene was commonplace for him.

Catalina's hands clenched.

Is correct.

This place.in fact..

Catalina had not been able to continue her thinking, her wrist was first pulled by a man. Not long after, another man also approached. He looked back and saw Joanna smiling like a demon.

"Please enjoy your evening" said Joanna before closing the door slowly.

Catalina.

Not wrong anymore.

This spot..

This fucking place..

Actually was..

Prostitution place.

Damnit. Catalina. His consciousness had not even been gathered all the time when he was carried by two men and thrown into a room and the door closed with a loud slam.

Catalina fell on the bed on her stomach. He woke up and put away the messy strands of his hair on his face.

Realizing this place was extremely quiet, his eyeballs moved watching the surroundings. This is a regular bedroom. There was a big bed, a table, a cupboard, a painting hanging on the wall, as well as a few bottles of whisky on the table. But the strange thing is why he was thrown into this empty room?

No. gabe.

This is not an empty room.

There was the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Which means there's someone in there. It can't be a woman. He must be the striped-nose man Tatiana had to serve.

But it was Catalina, not Tatiana.

Being asked to be a firefly and a bedkeeper, he was unwilling. Even if death threatened him, he was still unwilling. He would still choose death rather than having to sleep with a striped-nose man.

How stupid would he think Tatiana had a good life? In addition to having to serve guests every time he returns home to his adoptive parents, his adoptive parents secretly have this dirty business behind his ass and Tatiana becomes one of those involved in the business.

Catalina wants to cry. But she held back her tears from falling. This is not a good time to cry. There are other issues more important than just regretting what happened to her twin sister.

That bastard is still in the bathroom. So he had to get rid of it first before thinking about anything else.
