Chapter 04.

Catherine's Pov

"Ma'am, come... This way." A servant said as she directed me to a room.

Immediately she left me alone, I sighed again and again, despite trying to forget everything, I couldn't. What the hell had just happened? The scene ran through my mind once again and I couldn't help but blush.

Gosh!

I didn't know what to say at the moment, I didn't know why I didn't stop him. It was as if a mysterious force was telling me not to stop him. Besides, I enjoyed every bit of the moment and I didn't even feel any regret.

‘Slut!’

Pushing the thoughts away from my mind, I quickly changed and walked out of the room back to the living room.

Getting back to the living room, the man was already there and I couldn't help but blush embarrassedly as I sat on the sofa right in front.

"So mind telling me how you and Lauren met?" He asked with a smile as he looked at me.

I was pleased that he was mature enough to forget everything that had happened a few minutes ago. It was just an accident and I shall treat it as such.

Suddenly, if I'm not wrong, I didn't know his name, so for the time being I didn't know how to address him which was quite strange to me.

"I'm sorry, but before I start, how should I address you?" I asked with a bitter smile, trying hard to sound normal…

"I'm Lucas." The man smiled as he looked at me.

"Besides, Lauren is not home, he'll be back soon." He continued with a smile on his face.

"Alright sir," I nodded with a smile.

"By the way, I'm Catherine Hart." I smiled as I felt it was necessary to introduce myself to him.

"Nice to meet you, Catherine." Lucas smiled as he looked at me.

The smile on his face felt rather bewitching and I couldn't help but want to fantasize about it. But given the situation at hand, I knew I had to be serious.

"I met Lauren three years ago, in Atlanta when he came for a business trip. Then we fell in love and started dating." I started with a sigh as my mind couldn't help but wander to the past.

If I remember quite well, it was on summer afternoon when I met with Lauren at the park which I loved to go to whenever I was feeling down.

It was there I met Lauren, I had never believed in love at first sight. But then that day I was made to believe. Lauren was so perfect that I believed that we were a match made from Heaven.

"So, what happened?" Lucas' voice came bringing me out of my thoughts.

"I'm sorry, I was lost in my memory lane." I smiled bitterly as I looked at Lucas.

"It happens." He replied with a smile as he looked at me waiting for me to continue.

"Then, we fell deeply in love and did a lot of things together." I sighed as I continued.

Though I knew I didn't need to mention this, I still did as it felt like a kind of relief to my soul.

"Then suddenly, Lauren disappeared without a trace, breaking my heart into pieces. A month later, I discovered that I was pregnant with his babies."

"I can't let fingers point at my child and call them bastards. So I had invested a lot of effort searching for all the traces of Lauren."

"After three years, my search bore fruit and I finally got his address and thus here I am." I sighed as I concluded.

"That's quite a bitter love story." Lucas chuckled as he looked at me.

"Don't worry, Lauren will be here and you'll be together soon." He reassured me with a smile on his face.

"Thank you very much for your kindness." I thanked him.

Lucas smiled and didn't say anything. He just focused on the TV while waiting for Lauren to be back.

At last, my children would be able to experience fatherly love. My life was all set. Besides, I was going to be with the man I loved. All my searches were not useless.

Creak!

Suddenly, the door creaked and a figure walked into the living room.

Seeing the figure, my heart raced as I stared at him. This was him, he was finally back. The man I loved.

I wanted to rush up and hug him and ask him why he had left me all of a sudden back then even though I was sure he didn't know I was pregnant.

But then something held me back which helped me retain the last of my rationality as I watched Lauren walk in.

"You back, Lauren!" Lucas smiled as he raised his head to look at Lauren.

"Yes, father." Lauren sighed.

"Father?"

I muttered as a bolt faded through my body, shaking me to the core. What the hell did I just hear?

The man I was having a strong attraction to turned out to be my father-in-law. Where in hell is logic?

No, something was wrong. There's no way I was going to believe something like that. It had to be all stages.

But then looking at it, Lucas looked much like Lauren. No, Lauren looked much like Lucas.

It was as though one was the older version and the other was the younger version. Immediately, I felt my cheeks burn as I was thoroughly embarrassed.

I almost fucked with my father-in-law!

Where were my senses?!

Oh Cathy, when did you become such a whore?!

This was all Lauren's fault, he took away my virginity, got me pregnant, and left me sex-starved... It wasn't much of my fault. I was just hungry for a good dick.

I've been faithful to Lauren, and now that he's here, he'll give me all I want in ways I want it.

"So, Lauren, she said she's your girlfriend and came looking for you. Do you know her?" Lucas's voice came bringing me out of my thoughts.

Immediately, I looked at Lauren excitedly who at that moment turned around to look at me.

The first expression on his face was that of shock, next it changed to that of disgust, then to anger.

Immediately, I was dumbfounded, what the hell did I do to deserve so much of a reaction from Lauren?

I thought we loved each other. Yeah, he loved me, but what the hell was with this expression of his? I just couldn't understand and was very confused.

"My girlfriend?" Lauren's snort suddenly came as he looked at me.

"Dad, don't play such jokes on me. How could she be my girlfriend?" Lauren continued.

"Then do you know her?" Lucas frowned as he looked at Lauren.

"Dad, why do you keep asking these questions? You know my standards and types, Dad, so just take a look at this thing here, does this rag standing here look like my type" Lauren asked angrily, pointing towards me with disgust.

"There's no way I'll know a slut like her, not in a billion years."
