I was enjoying my little chat with Sean until Chloe spoke up.“Look at you two. So sweet.” Chloe sighed. “ why don’t you give her a kiss on the lips? It’ll be the perfect photo to wrap up the shoot.”What? My jaw nearly fell off.I'm starting to get turned on by his close proximity and the things he says but I can't afford to put my mouth on him right now. That'll be too intimate.I can feel Sean went stiff in my arms revealing that I'm not the only one uncomfortable about this new turn around.I cleared my throat then spoke up. "That won't be necessary," I said quickly, suddenly feeling uneasy.Chloe has this questioning look on her face so I made up another excuse. "We umm…" I glanced at Sean but he wasn't looking at my face. "We don't really like PDA""Oh dear" Chloe says walking up to us. "There's no one here except us so it's okay" She motioned at herself and other people who were working alongside her.“Yes, but…” I faltered. I did want to kiss Sean out here because of the way m
SEANFor the rest of the week, I've been keeping in touch with Katie. I find it weird, funny and intriguing at the same time. I find myself paying more attention to my phone and hoping she comes online and when she finally does, I won't be able to summon up courage and text her.It's not about my pride this time but there's something I couldn't place my hand on that's stopping me from doing so.Rather I'll wait until 8 pm when I'm settled before calling. At first the conversation was awkward, only filled with long fillers and eventually we'll hang up and end it there. But now, it has lingering more into an interesting one and we'll go on until it's late into the night.I sat in my office, replaying the previous night's conversation in my head and smiling sheepishly into the thin air when a knock on my door jolted me out of my thoughts.I sit up and try to regain composure."Enter," I said to my secretary."Mr Walters, you have a visitor. He isn't on the waiting list but he insists he'
KATARA POVI sighed for what felt like the hundredth that night as I tossed on the bed trying desperately to sleep.I couldn't sleep no matter how hard I tried.The wedding is coming up in three days and I'll be moving into Sean's house tomorrow. As I close my eyes, a series of thoughts begin to flood my memories.This night felt like the last minute chance I'm getting to back out if I want to. The past few days have been so great between us, during our late night conversations that I now find myself looking forward to each night.He hadn't called that night and that made me more worried. I know I shouldn't be, I have no right to be.Honestly, I was surprised he’d agreed so readily to the truce. We hadn’t exchanged more than a dozen words since I left him on the sidewalk bench after our engagement shoot, but actively ignoring him was more draining than I’d expected..****Just the way jingle bell announced Christmas, it's the same way lillie's and flowers announced my wedding day. It
We waited for another two boring hours, standing there and appreciating the guests. Flashing them fake smiles, while his hand never left the small of my back. The old couples would make joke and we would laugh as if either of us wanted to be in this position that we are inBy evening, I am already getting tired and my leg aches from standing too much. I felt dizzy and it was then I realized that I hadn't eaten anything that day.I never had the time.I was so busy thinking about how the wedding ceremony was going that I forgot I needed to eat.. my thoughts never went there at all.Now that the wedding is over, the tension hasn't left me yet . Just like that I changed identity and became a part of Walters.Since his parents are dead, just like mine, it was Jacob who stood in as his father. Unlike me, mom and I didn't grow up to have a long time relationship with people.In between moving states, looking for a job and watching over me and I on the other hand, changing schools, trying to
Katara had been working as a contract lover for Sean for a while now, and while she appreciated the financial benefits, she often felt lonely and unfulfilled. That all changed when she met Joshua Taylor, a young billionaire who was Sean's rival in the business world.At first, Katara was hesitant to befriend Joshua, knowing how Sean would react if he found out. But the more time she spent with Joshua, the more she realized that he was different from Sean. He was kind, considerate, and genuinely interested in getting to know her as a person, not just as a contract lover.As Katara's friendship with Joshua deepened, she found herself opening up to him more and more. She told him about her dreams, her fears, and her passions, and he listened intently, offering his own insights and perspectives. For the first time in a long time, Katara felt truly understood and appreciated.One day, as they were sitting in Joshua's penthouse apartment, sipping champagne and enjoying the stunning view of
Chapter 22Katara sat at the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the wall in front of her. She knew Sean was angry with her and had every right to be. But she had tried to explain to him countless times that John was just a friend. It wasn't her fault that Sean was jealous and couldn't see that.She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. She didn't know what to do anymore. She loved Sean with all her heart, but his jealousy was driving a wedge between them. She missed the way they used to be, carefree and happy. But that seemed like a distant memory now.Suddenly, the door opened and Sean walked in. Katara turned to face him, unsure of what to expect."I'm sorry," Sean said, his voice soft.Katara's eyes widened in surprise. She had expected him to be angry with her, not apologizing."I know I've been acting like a jerk lately," Sean continued. "And I know you've been trying to tell me that John is just a friend. I should have believed you."Katara stood up from the bed and walk
Katara stood at the window of the luxurious penthouse, staring out at the glittering city below. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for the conversation she knew was coming. Sean, her billionaire lover and employer, was due to arrive any minute, and she knew he wasn't going to be happy.Just as she thought, Sean strode into the room a few moments later, his handsome face etched with anger. "What the hell is going on, Katie?" he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.Katara turned to face him, her heart racing. "What do you mean?""You know damn well what I mean," Sean growled. "You're pregnant."Katara's eyes widened in shock. She had known that this was a possibility, of course, but she hadn't expected it to happen so soon. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "Yes," she said softly. "I am."Sean's expression softened slightly, but only slightly. "How could you do this to me, Katie?" he asked. "You knew how important it was for me to keep our relationship strictly pr
Chapter 24Katara stood in front of Sean with tears streaming down her face. She couldn't believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. She had never felt so hurt in her entire life. How could he accuse her of such a thing? She had been nothing but loyal and devoted to him since the day they met."Sean, how could you say that?" Katara asked, her voice trembling with emotion. "I would never do something like that. You know me better than that."Sean looked at her, his face softening slightly. "I know, Katara. I'm sorry. I just can't believe that this is happening. I never thought I would be in this situation."Katara took a step closer to him, reaching out to touch his arm. "Sean, I know that this is difficult. But we can get through this together. We can figure out a way to make things work."Sean looked at her, his eyes filled with pain. "I don't know, Katara. I don't know if I can ever trust you again."Katara felt her heart breaking as she heard those words. She had never fe
