Dear Mr Montgomery✔️

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN: ANNIVERSARY.

THIRD PERSON'S POV.

Katherine couldn't take her eyes off the huge portrait that was elegantly placed on the pedestal. The green eyes that stared back at her was cold and hard. It reminded Katherine of a particular grey eyed man and she could see some similarities. Her lips were painted red and was in a straight line, her face void of expression.

Yes, it definitely reminded her of Caspian.

     Her greying hair was packed into a simple elegant style on her head, and her emerald dress was simple and the only thing that stood out particularly was the huge ring rock on her finger matching the ruby stud pendant on her necklace. Her eyes beneath the icy look, showed experience and even with the portrait, it was like one could feel the powerful aura around her.

Florence Montgomery, daughter of the earl of westons, The wife of Philippe Montgomery and the mother of Arthur Montgomery. The backbone and pillar that held the Montgomery family through one of the most difficult crisis that threatened to break down the Montgomery family stronghold and made the Montgomery empire what it is today.

Katherine have heard all about her that morning. It showed that everyone respected her and most importantly, feared her. The huge celebration in the Montgomery household right now was the thirty-fifth anniversary of her death.

  Every Montgomery and those even remotely related to them and their very extended families, those Katherine didn't even know existed were present. Every influential family came to pay their accolade and respect to this woman.

"Isn't she awesome" Bianca came to stand beside Katherine who couldn't take her eyes off the portrait to her grandmother.

Katherine only hummed in response. She didn't know her but what she's heard about her made her seem awesome.

"I heard her story growing up. Turns out she's the badass woman that saved the Montgomerys from collapsing." Bianca eyes filled with admiration as she stared at the stoned faced woman "but she scares me. She scares everyone really. Whenever I did something wrong when I was younger, my nannies usually used her name to scare the living hell out of me."

Katherine decided to ignore the sad part of the nannies and focused on the woman in the portrait. She still couldn't help but notice the resemblance.

"Umm... Bianca. Don't you think that she shares a certain resemblance with Cas— umm— a particular someone?"

"Oh yes, Caspian." Bianca didn't even hesitate. "Everyone thinks that. The cold eyes, expressionless face, the straight lined lips, the icy glare. Yup."

Bianca turned to Katherine this time taking her eyes off the portrait.
"It's creepy isn't it?"

"Uhh... Maybe." Katherine couldn't decide between creepy or interesting. But it was a little creepy too.

"It adds to Caspian's whole persona in the family. I mean Caspian being who he is and bearing some uncanny characteristics with his well known late grandmother just makes his reputation more scary." Bianca looked around. "Where even is he? I was expecting him to be glued to you."

"I think he had something to do." And Katherine had a feeling that he was watching her or having someone watch her.

Katherine looked back at the crowd in the huge hall of the Montgomery estate. It was filled with influential and powerful people who had come to pay their respects to the legendary woman. Florence Montgomery had very definitely left a strong mark in the world.
   Bianca could see Katherine's eyes on the large amount of people and she understood. It was like this too the first time she had come to the anniversary of Florence Montgomery when she was six.
