Catherine Willoughby's bedchamber

"Charles let her head resting on his chest and looked at her with a curious smile"

I know...it must be not easy for you accepting all my children. But they're part of my life, and I love all of them. They...are not in competion with my love for you, darling...

"He kissed softly her head"

Talking about my children...you should know that Anna and my daughter Catalina are back to court...

Catherine's eye's were like daggers. Oh I see they finally let her out of the nunnery then? Catherine moved herself of from him and went to her own side of the bed. What do you want me to say I like Victoria she is very grown-up I can be nice to Catalina but Anna no! She practically thinks you are still hers! You wonder why I moan and constantly unhappy you have selfishly done this to me it's like a living torment can I go to spain to visit my mother better yet let me have an affair.

"Charles took a deep breath"

Anna is the mother of my children, Catherine. I'm not involved with her anymore, but we have five children together and I can't ignore her. When we rarely see each other...we just talk about our children. Nothing else...

"He said trying to reach her hand with his"

"Charles opened his eyes wide"

What...what do you mean? My love, I'm telling you that I love you, not Anna. I wish nothing more than having children from you...

"He touched her chin trying to catch her eyes"

"Charles shook his head"

You're not in competion for my love, Catherine. You and Anna have different places in my heart. How can you be jealous of her? You know I'm totally faithful since I married you. Because I love you...

"He whispered, not knowing what else he could add"

"Charles looked astonished at her"

Do you want to leave court without me? Catherine...you're with child. Our child. How can I leave you alone in Suffolk?

"He asked, not leaving his eyes from her"

Yes I am leaving you and their will be no more baby Catherine removed herself from him and started to dress. Don't try to find me because you won't succeed go back to that bitch anna you are no longer my husband

"Charles stood up fastly from bed, wrapping the sheet around his waist"

But...what are you saying, Catherine? You're my wife and...I won't allow you to hurt my child! You can't do such thing because of Anna! Why are you acting like this?

"He almost shouted and came closer grabbing her shoulders"

"Charles removed slowly his hands from her, even much more astonished than before"

Why are you angry, darling? Anna is not a danger for us. I married you, not Anna. And I don't even want a mistress. So...why don't you calm down and talk to me? I won't let you go anywhere without me...your husband!

"He said his last words proudly but avoiding an angry tone"

Growing more annoyed Catherine got dressed.Charles this is just too much you forget I am only 17 all these women keep appearing and I have yet to settle into court life give me a break just a tiny amount of time away. She wasn't going to beg him she had too much pride to lower herself.

"Charles took a deep breath and nodded, biting his lips"

Alright...I won't force you. You're...you're still so young. If you need a break away from me...I allow you to go to Suffolk. But please, take care of you and our baby. I...I'll miss you...

"He said with broken voice. He wanted to touch her, but he bit his lips again and he didn't"

Catherine sat down. I will always be grateful for everything you did for my family but I think we should separate for eternity go and be with the duchess of Navarre! she wants to be your wife much more than me we could have our marriage annulled you'll be free and so will i

"Charles looked shocked at her. He sat next to her on bed taking hand in his"

I don't want to annull our marriage, Catherine! Nan and I...are no longer together. I hurted her in the past. Like I hurted Anna...and I hurted you. It seems I hurt women I love. I...I'm unable to make them happy. And this is totally my fault, I admit it. But please...don't leave me alone. A mistress will never take your place in my heart...

"He said hardly, trying to control his emotions"

Now Catherine looked at him shocked she wrapped a sheet around him feeling bad. Not your fault that Anna farther had his head chopped of because of treason against the king your very best friend he's like a brother to you so whatever happened between you and her had to end other wise you would of lost your head. When the king does not need you I want to go straight back to suffolk! Ok now come here. Catherine opened her arms to him

"Charles listened her silently, without removing his eyes from her beautiful face. Then finally he smiled after her words and hugged her tightly"

Oh...Catherine! I would do everything to see you happy. Even if this means being forced to stay away from you. We can go...wherever you wish. Just stay at my side. You're the first woman who made me forget my womanizer's nature...

"He said giggling and pressed her young body against his, enjoying the warmth of her skin on him"

Catherine listened to him he meant his words but would he stick to it no he was incapable.Ah! Well don't make promises you can not keep Charles. Do you fancy some fresh air.

"Charles smiled again. Even if there some problem between them, he never stopped loving her sweet nature"

I keep my promises, darling. Just give me the opportunity to show you that I'm saying the truth. And...yes. I'd love some fresh air, now. What about a relaxing walk in the garden?

"He suggested, trying to make her smile too and touching softly her chin"

But if you break your promise I will never let you kiss me or ever share my bed again and this I mean and you won't see any of our children do you understand? Catherine was taking no nonesense and no mucking around enough was enough

"Charles remained silent for a little while. He gulped and nodded"

Of course...you're right. I married you and I made an oath in front of God. I won't break it. And...I'll share my bed only with you, my love...

"He said. The he took her hand and brought it until his lips. He kissed it softly"

"Charles took a deep breath. He looked at her once more time"

Do you really want me to leave?

"He asked, turning his eyes around room"
