Chapter 3: Caitlin

Caitlin's P.O.V.

“My life is a mess!

“One minute I thought I had everything all planned out, I opened a trust fund for the baby, bought a Victorian styled house  situated in a conducive area and I already have my letter for paternity leave straightened out for when the baby is due but now everything seems to be falling apart.

“Why is this happening to me?”I thought as I sigh out in fustration.

“The very nightmare have always been running from has finally caught up with me. Why do my conscience have to be so weak?. Going into his territory was definitely the biggest mistake of my life.

“Cara” A husky voice says....

“Agape Mou”The same sexy voice drawls out.

“Caitlin snap out of it. Remember the doctor's orders, avoid stress emotionally and mentally. It's bad for the baby. The morning sickness makes you weak and now you're overthinking things yet again, theirs nothing you can do. Just try to relax am going to take care of everything” He says his lips curling into a wicked smile.

“Am going to take care of you and our baby”He says his eyes twinkling with a wicked glint that screams mischievously.

“Seriously you don't get to say that, this marriage is a sham.” I say in a tired tone.

“I don't like you, infact I hate you. I hate the fact that you lording over everyone and everything, I hate the fact that you keep ordering me around and I definitely hate egoistical bastards like you who think they run the world. I hate people who think they can just have it all, although in this situation you may have the upper hand but I'll never ever give in to you.” I say staring at him with a look of disdain and anger. But seriously I can't keep up this whole facade anymore I really need to be alone or am going to have a mental breakdown right now.

“The speed at how he keeps changing the most important things in my life scares me to death. It's like I never made a name for myself or even existed.

“Caitlin am not your enemy, Why can't you see am doing all this for your own good. Besides do you know the importance of that baby you're carrying, although my lawyer has told me that once the child is born we should still  run a DNA test to be sure if he's truely my son and heir to all of my wealth. Which is why I can't risk things, this is a delicate matter and I definitely can't let you go either.

“Am pretty sure if I do grant you your freedom you'll probably run off, so “Deliza Mia” I can't risk it, none of it.” He says with his eyes staring at me with such intensity.

“Can't you just let me go, like you said you aren't sure about the baby's paternity. Infact you doubt it, so what's the essence of getting married to me then. Isn't it best we just maybe share custody of the child that way you can still be a part of his life”I say trying to see reasons with him.

“Nah, where's the fun in that. Besides it doesn't matter anymore because I don't plan on letting you go. You know since your arrival you've made me curious about something"he says...

“How did you know you were injected by the wrong sperm”He asks in a curious and suspicious tone.

“I have a friend who works there as a nurse. She's my best friend and she was the one who even informed me when she found out about the switch. The name of the sperm donor that was supposed to be inseminated in me has the same name with you but with different surnames (Maximiliano and Maximilian).

“I was told one of the interns their made the mistake by switching it with yours,I know you find it suspicious and I do too infact I find it quite annoying. I would have been blissfully ignorant about this whole issue but then my friend thought it would be best if I'm not kept in the dark. Do you know the hospital tried to bury this issue? If my friend hadn't informed I wouldn't have been aware" I say a bit sadly.

“But on second thoughts now I wish I never found out because if I didn't then I wouldn't be here. Stuck in this kind of situation with you, and you're not any different you're just a paranoid Playboy billionaire thinking am some kinda of ticking bomb that will blow off your stock price down”I say dryly at his now frowned face.

“How rude?.He musters

“For once can't we just have a honest conversation without you berating me or insulting me. Well I can forgive all that since it's part of your charm”He says in a sing song voice his face taking on a new light at the cheerful expression displayed all over his face.

“God you're so annoying"I say groaning out in fustration....

“You look sexy when you're sassy"He says in a serious tone but with a seductive glint in his eyes.

“Arghh, you're incorrigible”I scream out in annoyance...

“You know I love the twinkle in your eyes”He says in a deep hoarse tone.

“That's enough"I say in a loud voice.

“Can you please quit bickering with me, its driving me to utter madness”I say emphasizing each words.

“Can you quit with the insults too, it makes me want to do wicked things to your sexy small lips”He says with yet another sexy comeback.....

“For the love of God....... Can you please stop"I say in a tired tone.

“One more word Cat and I'll kiss those lips of yours to oblivion”He says as his eyes hooded and the air suddenly goes thick in a deep and erotic way.

“Immediately those words rushed out of his lips, my mouth sealed itself and to make matters worse the hiccups started.

“Kill me now"I thought to myself, I get the fact that my ovaries are singing out in joy because of this sexy head strong man but do they have to embarrass me this much.

“Since this whole conversation is going nowhere then we'll continue tomorrow when you're calm.  I'll inform my security details to escort you home but you'll have to pack your bags for our trip. We'll meet in the church its a Catholic church owned by a old friend of mine , he can get us a special marriage license.

“By the end of tomorrow we'll be married. I don't want to delay anything, so don't think about anything just have a good night sleep and leave all the worrying for me to do. I want this marriage to be over and done that way no one will question the legitimacy of this child" he says going to the drink bar which I didn't notice to get a drink.

Trying to stop the hiccups“I then quickly ask for a cup of water which was delivered immediately. 

“Max if you don't believe this child is yours why don't you just let me go” I ask witfully now  emotionally drained and  exhausted.

“This isn't how I planned it, this was definitely not the outcome I expected.”I whisper more to myself than to him.

“I wasn't expecting this too "Cara" I guess we both have to take responsibility” He says softly with his Italian accent sounding more prominent.

“You never did answer my question" I say, swallowing the bile rushing up my throat.

If you find out the baby isn't yours later on will you then let me go” I ask ..

“I don't know it depends!” He says with that same wicked smile on his face as he turned to leave saying a sentence that seems to bring my whole world to a stop 

“I've already turned in your resignation letter so you don't need to worry about anything” He says, with his voice sounds like he just did me a favour before sauntering out....

“You beast” I screamed......

Max's P.O.V.

As I walked out of the living area the sound of loud cursing and profanities being laid on me puts a smile on my face. 

“She's definitely a hard and rare one”I thought as I storm into my study with a glass of whiskey in my hand.

“For the first time in years, have never felt such excitement even hearing her swear at me seems to put a smile on my face and it just sends a bolt of thrilling energy into me. The urge to unlock all her mysteries and know everything about seems to grow more and more. I simply don't understand the way I'm reacting to her no one has ever made me feel this way ever since Vivian's death .

“This mysterious Caitlin makes me feel things I thought I'll never feel again.

“Picking up my phone I make arrangements for everything that's going to be needed for tomorrow new adventure.

“Just then it hit me that soon a little life and bundle will have to be dependent on me. It's life itself will be connected to me forever. I'm going to be a father. I'm going to be a fucking father " I say out loud laughing.

I then call my very good friend to announce the news to Alex Weatherson king of Euronia my  business partner but before that also my best friend.

“After catching with him on the phone, we spoke and he told me about this mystery girl he met and is totally enormared with.

“Breathing out a sigh of relief as I drain the last bit of whiskey I then replay the look on Catlin's face as she annouced the news and her expression through out the whole conversation which just confirms one thing that she's an open book all her thoughts reflects on her face and expression which makes things all the more interesting.

“One thing is for sure she knows and feels this chemistry too, that magnetic pull that keeps drawing me to her ever since I laid my eyes on her. She's definitely can't deny this attraction forever and I really don't think the condition she gave before getting married to me is going to last.

“She said she won't warm my bed but she never said I couldn't seduce her”I thought with a Devilish smirk on my face.

“Besides no one can keep a tight reign and control over their own  desire and wants.
