CAITLYN "Your brother"
Chapter 15Caitlyn woke up three hours later. At first, her vision was blurry. She raised her hand slowly and rubbed her eyes gently. After blinking twice, she could see clearly.She turned her eyes away from the white ceiling and they landed on Martin who was standing beside her with his hands in his pockets and his gaze fixed on her."You're awake. It's been about three hours," he spoke and took his seat beside her. Caitlyn felt a sharp pain in her head that made her shut her eyes tightly. She recalled everything that happened.Her eyes held a look of guilt as she opened them again. She couldn't bring herself to look at Martin."I'm sorry for making you go through the stress of bringing me here," she apologized."You're sorry?" Martin scoffed angrily. Caitlyn could tell he was upset, and it made her feel more guilty."An ulcer patient should prioritize their meals before any other thing. I suppose your smartness was taken over by your sympathy for a dog and made you neglect your hea
CAITLYN "take your time. I'll wait."
Chapter 16"Hello, sir, " Caitlyn greeted as she walked into her boss's office. The man was busy rearranging his books on his shelf when she walked in. He paused and turned to her. "Sit, Caitlyn, " He told her and turned his gaze back to his shelf. "What do you want? " He asked when Caitlyn remained silent. She cleared her throat a little and hesitated for a while before responding. "A favor, sir, " She finally said. Her gaze was fixed on her thighs as she played with her fingers.Caitlyn was aware that lawyer Bernard favored her among all his employees. However, she rarely asked for anything from him. The party was going to hold the next day which was a Saturday, but her boss already got her occupied for the day. She thought she could plead that she shifted the job to the day after the party since she couldn't be absent from the party. Her problem at that moment was finding the right way to tell her boss that she wanted to shift an important job for a party.Lawyer Bernard cleare
CAITLYN "I'm not going to take advantage of you."
Chapter 17"Why did you come, and why aren't you leaving yet? " Caitlyn asked him with a suspicious look in her eyes. It's been almost thirty minutes since they finished eating and Martin wasn't showing any sign of leaving.He looked up from his phone and they held each other's gaze for a second. Caitlyn raised a brow and slightly tilted her head to the side. "Won't you answer me? "He rolled his eyes and stood on his feet. He went to Caitlyn who was sitting on her bed. "Move away, " He ordered in his husky voice. Caitlyn was confused. She pulled her brows together and asked, "why?" Martin sighed and bowed his head with both his hands resting on both sides of his waist."You forced me," He mumbled and brushed her off the bed. "Ah!" She screamed as she fell on her butts with a surprised expression that was soon replaced with a glare. "What was that?" She yelled, but Martin was already laying on his back with his eyes closed and his hands clutching a pillow close to his chest. He ig
CAITLYN "I won't eat until you're here."
Chapter 18"Nothing important," She stuttered, avoiding his piercing eyes. She truly hoped he hadn't heard everything she said. Her heart thumped hard against her chest."Well, I want to know what it was that made you come this close to me to say," He told her, his hand still gripping hers.Caitlyn realized they were only inches away from each other. She immediately shifted and roughly yanked her hand away from his grip. She stood on her feet and clasped her fingers together behind her. She looked around nervously and hesitated a little before she responded, "I wanted to wake you up. It's late already," She lied with a nervous chuckle.Martin sat upright, not releasing his gaze on her. He had heard all she said. He was sure he didn't hear her wrong. Only that he was too slow-witted to fully understand her words."It's 7 pm already, Mr. Martin," She told him with a forced smile."Did I sleep that long?" Martin asked in surprise and slowly got out of her bed. Caitlyn exhaled, gladdened
CAITLYN "don't make me wait."
Chapter 19"Martin. Son. You're here!" Madam Scarlett exclaimed in a happy voice as she rushed to meet her son. Martin stretched out his hands open with a smile plastered on his face. "My dear boy," Madam Scarlett smiled back as they embraced lovingly. Martin never liked to come home, but he knew he felt the happiest whenever he was home."How are you, mother?" He asked her with shining eyes. His eyes always had a way of showing happiness. Their hands still lingered on each other after their warm hug."I'm very well, son. I'm cooking!" She announced, giggling. Martin raised a brow with a smile. "Really?""Yes, son," She responded and began to lead him to the kitchen, their fingers locked. "Oh, and your brother is home," She informed him as they walked in."Wow, mother. This smells so good," He said and dramatically sniffed the air which made madam Scarlett chuckle. He went to the pot on the cooker and opened it. "It looks good, too!" He voiced out. Madam Scarlett walked to him with
CAITLYN Did i overdress?
Chapter 20"Can we leave now?" She asked as she shyly tucked her hair behind her ear after noticing that Martin wouldn't stop staring at her. He blinked rapidly and swallowed as he finally got a hold of himself. 'How can she be this beautiful?'"Yeah. Sure!" He stuttered and crossed over to the other side of the car and opened the door. Caitlyn, surprised, muttered a thank you and entered the car while Martin nodded and went back to the other door. He entered and Kickstarted the engine almost immediately. The drive to the venue was void of noise, except for the soft music playing from the speaker. Martin appeared to be focused on the road, but he was stealing glances at Caitlyn's exposed thighs. Without his knowledge, she caught him every time he did. It was hard for her to try to suppress the urge to smile.Thirty minutes into the drive, Caitlyn suddenly felt thirsty. There was bottled water in the car's compartment, but she was unable to ask Martin for it. She swallowed her sali
CAITLYN Take your seat on my thighs.
Chapter 21"Good God!" Caitlyn, startled, muttered within herself. Nearly all the eyes in the room were on her, and she could hear their loud whispering, but couldn't decipher what they were talking about."Relax," Martin said in a low tone and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. She looked up at him and nodded."How are you, sweethearts?" Madam Scarlett finally reached them, and Caitlyn felt soothed by the warm hug the woman gave her after the brief tight embrace with her son. She touched Caitlyn's hair. "You look so beautiful, dear. Radiating, I must confess."Caitlyn looked up at madam Scarlett with a smile that was filled with appreciation. The guests had all turned away their attention from them, and it brought comfort back to Caitlyn."What skincare product do you use, my dear? " Mother?" Martin was shocked at her sudden question. Madam Scarlett eyed him. "I do not remember speaking to you, Martin."She turned her head back to Caitlyn. "Dear, as I was saying.""Mother?" Caitlyn
CAITLYN She cheated fourteen times.
Chapter 22The party was finally over and Martin and Caitlyn were on their way out after saying goodbye to madam Scarlett. Caitlyn was feeling somewhat shy around Martin after sitting on his thighs until the closing of the party. "Martin!" A female voice that sounded confident and sweet stopped Martin and Caitlyn from taking their final step out of the hall. 'It's probably another business partner. Will they not even let us leave here peacefully?' Caitlyn complained inwardly. Both of them turned fully to face the caller, and Caitlyn's jaw dropped. She looked extraordinarily stunning! She was dressed in the exact way as Caitlyn, but the latter was too busy admiring the woman's face to notice her dress. It was only when Martin's deep voice sounded that she returned to herself. "Veronica." The woman approached them with a smile and stopped only when stood a few inches away from them.Although Martin tried to maintain his cool, Caitlyn could see that he wasn't himself. He let out a h
