Refusing to Be the Male Lead's Second Wife
Episode 5
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
*sighs* Mom, I never wanted to be in medical school. I only stayed because Dad pushed me into it. I’ve been doing something else on the side.
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*looks down in guilt* I know. I…I am sorry I was too weak back then...
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
Mooom...
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*sigh*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
*takes a deep breath* You remember that “part-time job” I had during med school?
Grace Miller / FL's mom
yeah. *confused*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
*pauses* It wasn’t a regular job. I’m… I’m one of the co-founders of 'Havelle'.
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*stunned*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
Havelle? The brand youngsters obsessed with?
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
*smiles* Yeah, that one.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
My friend and I started it in my second year. It was just a small side project to make some money, but it blew up. Now it’s a full-fledged business.
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*speechless for a moment*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
We’ve got a team now, but back then, I was working on designs, marketing, and logistics between my studies.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
....... Mom. I became a doctor because Dad pushed me into it. I wanted to make you both proud, but it was never my dream.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
Havelle is like my child to me. *soft smile*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
And... I was earning quite well these years thanks to Havelle.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
So I'm not really a poor little girl, I'm quite rich, you know! *smug face*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
.......
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*sitting quietly, staring at her daughter*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
*looks up at her mom* What's wrong?
Grace Miller / FL's mom
I still can’t believe it… all these years, you’ve been carrying so much on your own. *teary*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
First your education then business, marriage, child and all these......
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
*softly* Mom, it’s okay. I managed.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
And women are born multitaskers... Maybe we just need a little push.... *smiles*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
Still.... I should have seen it. I should have done something. *cracking voice*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
*reassuringly* Mom, It’s not your fault.
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*shakes her head* I knew you didn’t want to study medicine. I could see it in your eyes every time your dad talked about it.
Grace Miller / FL's mom
But I didn’t have the strength to stand up to him.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
*reaching out to hold her mom’s hand*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
Mom. You were always there for me in your own way. *softly*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*crying* But I was supposed to protect you. I should have been strong enough to stand up to him. You deserved to follow your dreams from the start.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
*smiling faintly* I wouldn’t have built Havelle if things hadn’t happened this way. It became my escape, my passion.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
And honestly...... I don’t blame you for anything.
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*wiping her tears* You’ve turned everything into something beautiful.
Grace Miller / FL's mom
In a way I'm proud of you, but I can’t help feeling guilty for not being the mother you needed back then.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
it's okay mom I am also proud of myself... *laugh*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*chuckle*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*shakes her head* silly...
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
By the way, where are Aria and Elara?
Grace Miller / FL's mom
They went outside to buy something for dinner.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
oh.
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
MOM, WE ARE BACK....
Aria Moretti / FL's eldest sister
Hey slow down, you are going to drop everything. *scolding Elara*
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
*not listening at all running in full speed*
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
*stumbles on the carpet* woohha!
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
*runs towards her and saves the food*
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
*fall down on her face*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
Thank God! They are saved.
Aria Moretti / FL's eldest sister

Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister

Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister

Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
Aria Moretti / FL's eldest sister
Grace Miller / FL's mom
What is happening here? And Elara why are you on the floor? *confused*
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
Mom your daughters are so evil!
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
Grace Miller / FL's mom
..... Well, you are also my daughter.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
Pfft
Aria Moretti / FL's eldest sister
Pfft.
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
Mooooom… You are also pulling my leg! *pitiful acting*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
Such a drama queen!
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
Mom, why don’t we enrol her in a drama school? We could have an actress in the family!
Aria Moretti / FL's eldest sister
That's a great idea. *thumbs up*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
So, what do you say? *to Elara*
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
........
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
Of course no!
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
I want to be a "Freelance Photographer".
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
I want to make a name for myself as the one and only, young and sexy photographer!!
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
....... Okay. It's good to have a goal. *thumbs up*
Aria Moretti / FL's eldest sister
*forced smile* And you’ll need to work hard to achieve it as well to be a young and sexy photographer!
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
Of course, I know that. *toothy smile*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*smiles and shakes her head*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
Okay. What have you brought for dinner?
Aria Moretti / FL's eldest sister
We got some fast foods and desserts.
Grace Miller / FL's mom
It's too unhealthy. *frown*
Aria Moretti / FL's eldest sister

Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister

Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
Then what about the breakfast plan we just made? *raised an eyebrow*
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
That.. that! Don't worry, I can have breakfast after eating this, okay.
Elara Moretti / FL's youngest sister
Don't underestimate me... Hmph*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
*twisted her ear*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
Really.
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
*laugh* it's okay, you don't need to struggle so much. Let me call Sara and Ronnie. They live nearby. *take out her phone*
Grace Miller / FL's mom
That's a good idea.
Buzzzzzz *sound of calling bell*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL

clack *sound of door opening*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL

Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
I missed you too! *kisses her cheeks*
Although Katherine and Sara have been best friends since childhood, they are always very polite with each other. Sara has been an introvert from a young age, so Katherine has always looked out for her.
Ronnie Dawson / Sara's tween
Hey, I'm also here! *reminding them*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
Hi Ronnie! *smiles*
Katherine Moretti-De Luca / FL
Please get inside!
