Chapter 4: Invade her privacy

 "Why?"

"It's wet." Cathy's face was all sour, she knew that Whitney had cried through the night and her food had not touched. "Did you..." 

"Cathy!" She called to stop her, but Cathy didn't say a word, she left to get him juice. Gregory notices something is not right, he thinks if she is a bed wetter, he shakes his head. "I didn't..." Cathy was coming back because it's a small apartment, she was shocked that Whitney wanted to explain to him. 

"Here, have some juice." 

"Thanks!" He sits and looks back at Whitney. "You didn't do what?" He wants an explanation, Cathy just shakes her head all men are the same, there is this one standing a few minutes ago like a lost child, and now is all authoritative. "Whitney, you should go have your bath before you infect us with your dirt while Gregory fills his eyes with pictures." Whitney gasped for air, and she walked away, as Gregory watched his eyes darkening, almost the entire album was filled with Whitney and George, and Cathy noticed it. 

"That is my brother, George, he is very fond of Whitney, she is George's Princess." As she was explaining to him, Gregory look at her, how can a girl read his thoughts, she is just as queer as the one who is in love with her, he knows his cousin might be madly in love with her. "Brother can do anything to make her happy." 

"What are you two talking about?" Her eyes caught the album in Gregory's hand, she grabbed it in a hurry, she didn't know that was the album Cathy had given him, she knew the next picture would be worse. "Why do you close it?" 

"You should watch this." 

"If it's not this then it is no one." 

"Are you mad at me?" She pouted and held her ears, Whenever she got Gregory angry, he pulled his face to her to show he forgave her, she pulled him by the chin that is how they behaved towards each other back then, Gregory smiled. Cathy knows that Whitney and George play closely and that the act of Whitney is not that of flirting but what George and Whitney have is siblings love this boy before they love Whitney but she doesn't know and Cathy is not ready to let Whitney get hurt. 

"Have you eaten?" Whitney asked, he wanted to shake his head but his tummy grew. "You naughty boy, you are hungry and you are telling lies." She pulled his chin, and he smiled in a second he pulled her into a hug, he had been dying to hug her and he had made up his mind that he was going to hug her even with this little thing acting like her mother in front of him.

"Ahem! Whitney!" She called her. "Yes, do you want to eat too?" 

"Yes, do you have food?" Gregory knows that Cathy wants to get Whitney back on track, it seems she is losing her senses and clipping too much on him. "Why don't we go to my condominium? You can cook there." 

"No! I will not allow it." Cathy said almost like a big sister protecting her kid sister when in a real sense they are both the same age, she is just a few months older than her. 

'Do you think I will hurt her?" 

"I didn't say..." she didn't finish before Gregory spoke up. 

"You can come with her if you don't trust me." Gregory knows that is the only way to drag Cathy to come with him, he needs to drag this little one, Cathy can't afford to let her angel go alone with a man who has a werewolf as a betrothed but she had some strange feeling for Craig, she had an endless dream about she and Craig in a romantic relationship, that was the main reason she want to go to Whitney before she met Gregory, she has no choice than to agree with Gregory. 

"Fine but I don't think is today." 

"Of course, maybe we should go to a nearby eatery, to grab a quick bite."

"I know somewhere affordable we can get good food," Cathy said in a hurry forgetting that Gregory is worth billions of dollars. 

"Sure, Greg, you will like it." He didn't say anything, and they both walked behind Gregory, he looked like an elite from his wears, appearance, and the way he walked elegantly, to the financial aspect he was flawless, and he started driving. 

"Greg!"

"What is it, Whitney?" 

"Is this your car?" He never expected her to ask, she and Cathy had never entered such a machine before now, and he scratched his head. "Go on." His phone rang. "Pick your call." Gregory looked at it, Cathy was looking at his countenance, it was not good, so she just assumed that maybe his betrothed was the one calling him. 

"Whitney, can't you see that he is driving?" 

"Since when do you become careful? Come on Greg leave this friend of mine pick your call." Before he could pick up, a voicenote came up and, she pressed it. 

"Oh! You don't want to come home? You gallivanting around town with that prostitute..." Cathy closes her eyes, Whitney's tears drop from her eyes, and the voicenote continues. "You left me to go be with that social climber, that pig that is as cheap as a use..." Gregory didn't wait for it to finish, he ended it. "I am..."

"Stop! Stop the car!" She yelled.

"I am sorry dear, I didn't..." 

"If you don't stop I will jump out." Gregory pulls over, and she gets down so fast, Cathy gets down as well, she and Whitney get into a tricycle, and the tricycle just takes a turn. 

"Pack!" She stops it, she gets down. "You can go, I will get another."

"Whitney; where are you going?" 

"Don't follow." She gets another. 

"Whitney!" She called. "Don't worry I will be fine, go on." The tricycle zooms off, leaving Cathy behind, Gregory watches, seeing that Whitney has gotten into another, Cathy pays the former and asks him to leave, Gregory ignores the traffic light, and he almost gets hit by a moving vehicle, she closes her eyes in fear. 

"Don't you all think, I can't handle all of this?" She said in pain, she had been stressed because of Whitney, and seeing that he was almost hit, gave her more pain; Gregory didn't know what to do, so he pulled her into a hug. I am sorry. She finally regains herself. 

"Sorry, you have to deal with two annoying girls." Gregory smile. "I thought brave girls don't get scared." 

"Don't be mean." 

"Where is Whitney going to?" 

"I don't know but I will just go to her apartment maybe she is going there." 

"I am coming with you." 

"No, I will do that myself." 

"Can I have your number so you tell me when you found her?" 

"No problem." She brought out her phone and collected the number. "I go on now."

****

 Gregory's drive back was like forever, he hit the steering over and over in frustration, he wanted to get fast to his condominium but that was not possible, he was far in thought when he eventually got to the condominium, he entered his private elevator, he wasn't caught up for any drama of girls 

"Where are you coming from?" "Jane, back off." "Really? You spend an entire morning out there with a low life." 

"Jane, I have told you times without numbers to stay off my case but you don't listen, you are trying my patience." 

"That woman is a prostitute." He pushed Jane to the wall, Craig opened the door and met the two quarreling. "You are not allowed to call anyone dear to me names."

"Oh! It's finally out, you are sleeping with that whore." 

"Jane, you should know your limit."

"My limit? You are my betrothed." 

"No, in the eyes of my parents but not in my eyes."

"Fine, you should care for her well because I will make her crippled." Craig's eyes bulge out, Gregory pushes Jane more, and her back hits the wall. "You know me, no one will tell you about me Jane, you should stay away from her if you don't want my madness."

"I don't make empty threats, I will kill her." 

"If you provoke me, I will lock my lips with her right in front of you and you will do nothing." 

*****

He grabbed his keys back, he darted out, Craig darted after him, he ignored the elevator, and so did Craig, as they passed anyone around couldn't help but drool over them, on a norm it would bother them but it didn't, he get to the car, his driver was ready to get the key from him. 

"Sir..."

"Get lost!" He yelled at Ian, his driver, Ian was scared, he had never seen him like that in the past three years he had worked with him, he knew that Craig was the cold one not that he was wicked but his facial appearance was enough to scare people, he just step outside and he gets into the car, so do Craig. 

"Where are you going?" 

"I don't even know." Craig tapped his shoulder and ran his hand on Gregory's back, the only one that knows Gregory is weak is Craig and Gregory is the only one that also knew Craig was soft-hearted, in a second, Gregory hugged Craig, and his phone rang. 

"Who is calling?" 

"Oh! That could be Whitney's phone." The phone had fallen from her bag when she was in a hurry to get down. 

"Go on and pick before it ends, baby in love." He teases Gregory. 

"Maybe you should answer it." 

"No!"

He said almost screaming now it was Gregory's turn to tease him. 

"Chicken in love."

He runs his hand on his neck, and the phone rings again

"Hello, Cathy!"

"Gregory? Is she with you?" 

"No oh! Is like her phone fell from her bag, have you seen her?" 

"No, I have gone to our favorite spot but she is not there."

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt her."

"Don't beat yourself up too much, you are not the cause of it, she had other issues with her..." 

"With who? Go on and tell me." 

"Please, I can't tell." 

"But..." Craig knows if he is too pushy, they will get no information from her, so he grabs the phone. "Hello!" Cathy goes mute, Craig's voice is cool, it sounds nice, and she is trying to compose herself, to sound normal. "Why is she not talking to me? Did I say something wrong?" 

"No, I am here." 

"Ahem! Call us, if you can get her, or hear any news about her." 

"I will." She didn't say anything else, the line just went off. 

"Woe! She ends the call." 

"Maybe you should use one of your charms on her." Craig smiled and pushed his head. "What are you going to do now?" He throws Whitney's phone to him. "What should I do with it? I want the phone unlocked, I want to be able to get access to everything on it in less than an hour." Craig's eyes opened wide, Cathy didn't bother that her friend's phone would be invaded because she Locked it with her face and some apps with her fingerprint but she didn't know she was dealing with a demon. 

"Do you want to invade her privacy boss?" 

"If I am your boss, you will not argue with me." "Fine, but you should eat before I return, you may need a whole lot of strength to handle it." "Go on," Gregory said to him, when Craig left he had waited for him, in all this time he kept calling Cathy but still no news, he was dead frustrated, Jane had gone to the poolside to cool off her nerves, he picked up his car's key to go out again when the door open wide. 

"You are going out?"

"I just can't sit here and do nothing."

 "Here is the phone." Gregory grabbed the phone from him, the first thing was her message. 

"That already?" 

"What was I supposed to do? Look at her pictures,  Maybe that too but for now it's not relevant." 

"You should be mindful of the things you look at..."
