Saved by the Billionaire's Love Chapter 17 : Who the H*ll is She?
**Cat POVI opened my eyes and stretched. For the first time in days, I felt completely refreshed and rested. Curling my toes, I stretched my arms above my head and giggled as I rolled around on the amazing mattress. Wherever Luke got his furniture, it was divine!A steady stream of light was coming through the open balcony curtains. The conversation I'd had with Luke the night before was fuzzy at best. I remembered enjoying it and feeling like we were getting to know each other. I couldn't really remember how I'd gotten in bed. There was a funny, tickle in the back of my mind. It was a dream, or a feeling, that Luke had carried me to bed and kissed me on the forehead. It was so silly!Laughing, I looked out the window again. The sun was pretty high. "Oh, crap!" I cried. I jumped out of bed and started pulling my clothes on. "Crap, crap, crap!"It was late. I was late! Luke had given me chance after chance to prove myself, and now I was running late for my

**Cat POV"Who the h*ll are you?" the supermodel repeated again. "My name is Cat. Who are you?" I asked, crossing my arms. If Luke had been expecting company, I thought he would have given me the heads-up. As it was, he was trusting me with the safety of his house and the development while he was off-site. I wasn't going to misplace that trust. "Luke never mentioned he'd hired a second maid," the woman said snidely, casting a sharp look at Adelle. "I'm his housekeeper," Adelle said back, crossing her arms too. "Who are you, and why are you here?" I pressed. I wasn't going to get drawn into her insults and get distracted from the real issue at hand. The woman turned her eyes on me, giving me that same condescending look. Like I was a bug she'd like to squash with her shoe if she cared to ruin her thousand-dollar high heels. "I'm Victoria, Luke's girlfriend," she said, smiling widely. "Girlfriend?" I asked, arching an eyebrow. He had mentioned that he w

**Cat POV"Cat, honey!" my mom gushed she shoved her phone in her pocket and jumped at me, hugging me around the neck. "I've been so worried about you.""You've been calling me non-stop all day. I've been working," I said, patting her back slightly. "I've been calling because I'm worried. I can't get Aaron or Barbs on the phone, either.""Why are you calling now?" I asked. "Is something wrong?""That's what I was going to ask you," she said. "You've been so distant.""No more than usual." I shrugged and stepped back. My mom looked rough. I noticed for the first time that she looked tired with big, purple bags under her eyes. Her hair wasn't shiny or brushed, and her clothes were crumpled. Ever since she started dating, she'd never let her appearance look that messy. "You know, I drove three hours to get here. I even went to the hotel where your development firm is. That's how worried I was," she said. "Mom, you didn't have to make the trip," I said. "I've go

**Cat POV"Mom, Mom!" I cried. I tried shaking her, but she still wouldn't respond. "What happened?" one of the construction workers asked, coming up to me. He knelt down, putting a hand on my back. He grabbed my mother's wrist. "She just passed out," I said, hyperventilating. The construction worker frowned slightly. "Is she okay? What's wrong?" I asked. "She's unconscious, but her pulse is strong. Is there somewhere we can take her to get her more comfortable?" he asked. "Um… yeah, the guest house at Mr. Carter's," I said, pointing back to the house. "I've got her," the construction worker said. He picked my mom up so easily, carrying her bridal style back to the guest house. He instructed the other construction workers to get back to work. I hurried after him. He must have been the foreman or something, overseeing the construction crew. "I'm sorry if this disrupts your workday," I said, not sure what else to say. "We'll get the job done," he ass
Saved by the Billionaire's Love Chapter 21 : Lying and Cheating
**Cat POVI clenched my fist around the dish towel as Luke walked into the living room. Jason had left the door open on his way out. What the h*ll was I supposed to say to him? Luke had slept with me even though he had a girlfriend. He'd cheated on Victoria with me, and I had stared her down with the knowledge that her boyfriend had been unfaithful. When Luke had said he was having relationship problems, I hadn't thought he still had a girlfriend when he seduced me. "Cat, how did you fare today with work?" he asked cheerily as he came into the living room. I twisted the dish towel in my hands, wringing it like I could squeeze all my anger out of it like water. "It was fine, Mr. Carter," I snipped. I started wiping down the counter with the towel, even though it was perfectly clean. I hadn't cooked in that kitchen at all since I'd arrived. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Luke standing in the kitchen doorway. He had his arms crossed, shoulder leaning against the f

**Cat POV"So, you ready for the big trip?" Jason asked as he handed me a blueprint of the house with my modifications and his notes. The foundation has been poured, and the structure was beginning to take shape. "How did you hear about that?" I asked, my cheeks warming as I kept my eyes on the blueprints. Jason and I had both been on site every day, monitoring the development construction. "When the architect I'm working with daily leaves the country for a while, I do get a memo," Jason teased, winking at me. "Besides, I'm coming along too." I bit my lower lip and kept scanning the blueprint. I'd memorized the blueprint already, but I didn't want to look into Jason's deep, soulful brown eyes. He was so friendly and goofy and always admitted when he was awkward. I liked that about him. "Well, I've never had the chance to go out of the country," I admitted with a shrug. I handed the blueprints back to Jason. "This looks good.""Come on, let's take a lunch break. We

Staring dumbly out the window, my mind reeled. I'd have to be crammed on a plane with two people I absolutely despised and at least one that I knew despised me. "Cat, are you sure you're okay with this?" Luke asked, standing close behind me. I whipped around and stared at him. "I'm fine!"Luke put his hands up. "Okay, I'll let the pilot know he can begin pre-flight."Jason's attention was now on me. He'd been silent since Luke announced his entire family would be joining us. He stood and sat down next to me. "What's going on? Cat, do you know Luke's family?" he asked. I shrugged. "Loosely," I muttered. "There's a story there," he commented. "One that we'll have to recount another time," I murmured sourly. I heard Mr. and Mrs. Carter before I saw them come into the plane. Mrs. Carter stopped talking and grabbed her husband's arm when she saw me. She sucked in a sharp breath, her lips getting tight. "That's right, you're Luke's newest architect," Mr. Car

**Cat POVAfter the most awkward, uncomfortable three hours I'd ever experienced, the plane touched down on the ground. I practically threw myself out the door to kiss the pavement when the door opened.No one tried to stop me. There were several limos waiting on the private airstrip. "Come on, Fiona, get your bags. The resort is waiting for us, and we have to finalize the wedding plans," Mrs. Carter said, heading to one of the limos. "Maybe we can get them to extend the patio area. I don't know if they'll be done in time, though." "They requested some changes be made to the venue," Luke said as he walked by me, noticing my confused look. Of course, they owned the place and could request to modify it at will. "Luke, I got your group separate cars," a woman called from the passenger seat of one of the limos. "Thanks, Johanna," he said, waving back. "Aren't you coming to the resort with us?" Mr. Carter asked. "Those of us here for work are going to stay at the pr
