CAITLYN Meeting Mr. handsome
It was some minutes past 6pm. Caitlyn Hugh was dragging her tired feet back home after a long day at work. As she walked along the lonely road, she looked back at intervals, hoping for a cab to appear. Although she was very much aware that cabs do not ply that road, Caitlyn prayed for a miracle. She took out her phone from the small bag she hung on her shoulder and connected her headset to the device. She was going to click play on her favourite music, but the sound of a car honking halted her. She stopped walking, and the car stopped, too. Inwardly, Caitlyn hoped that the owner of the car would offer her a ride- she was so exhausted to the point of accepting an offer without caring if the driver was a stranger or not. The owner of the car, as it appeared, opened the car's door after switching off the car's engine. She wondered why. 'If he was going to ask to give me a lift, he definitely would not switch his car's engine off.' She furrowed her brows slightly and watched closely

A man dressed in a blue and black uniform stood at the widely opened gate; Caitlyn guessed the man was his gatekeeper. Immediately the gate opened, he ignited his car's engine and moved his car with such force that Caitlyn fell to the floor, again.“I'm sorry, sir! I'm so sorry,” she watched his gatekeeper apologise while bowing. He ignored the man and simply drove in. Caitlyn rushed over to the gatekeeper. “Can you let me in, please?” she pleaded shamelessly with a smile.As he opened his mouth to give her a reply, his boss shouted, "If she steps a foot into this compound, consider yourself jobless, Mr Dalton.”She shifted her gaze to him. 'Why's he so cold?' She wondered. A hand gripped her left arm firmly. “What are you doing?” she asked the gatekeeper who had gripped her arm, wide eyed.He gave her no reply. Instead, he began pulling her away. Caitlyn struggled to free her arm, all to no avail. As soon as they were a little distance away from the gate, he stopped and released his

"Mr Martin, your mother is requesting to see you." No sooner had the secretary finished her words before a woman who looked like one in her early sixties barged into the office.She oozed of wealth and good life. One wouldn't need to spare her a second glance to know she was a wealthy woman.Her bright yellow dress swept the floor as she walked. Her makeup was heavy. Her neck, ears and fingers were adorned with jewelry that would surely cost a fortune. The small bag she held was a limited edition. It had taken nothing out of her to purchase it."Martin King?" She called in her usual authoritative voice. Her son ignored her and faced his secretary. "You can leave," He told her. She bowed slightly and hurried out of the office. She was scared of Madam Scarlett King. Everyone feared the woman.Martin's head rested on the chair he sat on. "What do you want, mother?" He asked the woman with his eyes shut while he rotated his chair."You know what I want, Martin!" The woman replied with a s

"We meet again, Mr handsome," Caitlyn smiled and stopped in front of him. Martin sighed and made to walk away. "Mr Bernard isn't in at the momen," She informed him, and he paused."Let's leave, then," Martin said to his secretary."Sir, it was really hard to secure an appointment with him. If we leave now, we won't be able to get to him till the next three or four weeks," His secretary whispered to his hearing and hers alone. A small groan escaped his throat. "You both can wait in my office. He will be here in an hour or less," Caitlyn offered."Yes." "No." Martin and his secretary answered simultaneously. His secretary gave him an apologetic look. He cleared his throat and faced Caitlyn. "We will rather wait in my car," He told her."If you do that, you wouldn't be seeing him today. I'm his right hand. The person after him. I could put in words for you to enable the meeting hold today, if you want me to. Otherwise, I'll return to my office," Caitlyn voiced out with her usual smile.

"Did you win a lottery," The surprised man asked as he walked in on Caitlyn dancing happily. "Oh, no, sir," She replied and laughed heartily. The man smiled and took a sit in her office."How about the documents I asked you to duplicate?" He asked. Caitlyn opened a drawer and brought out a green file. She closed it and stretched the file to him, "here they are sir."He took it and thanked her before opening it. He brought out the documents and went through them, carefully. Caitlyn watched him, hoping there was no mistake.She was sure there was none, as she had carefully done as he asked. The man finished and put them back into the file. "Well done, Miss Caitlyn," He praised her and she smiled."See me in my office in thirty minutes. I'll prepare a file which you would give to Mr. Martin King the next time he comes to the firm." Caitlyn nodded with a smile. She was excited that she would be seeing Martin again.As her boss left her office, she giggled while clapping her hands like a l

Chapter 3"Mr. Martin, you might have to pardon her. Please," the doctor walked into the ward with his hands folded behind him. Martin turned immediately."For what reason? I do not want my mother to get uncomfortable, most especially by this woman!" He pointed to Caitlyn, his eyes opened widely.The doctor sighed and briefly adjusted his glasses. He hesitated a bit before he spoke. "This woman just lost her mother to a horrible accident. She went into shock. We're worried about how the state of her mental health would be once she wakes up, " the doctor stared at Caitlyn pitifully."How is that any of my concern? Do you think she is more important than my mother?"Herald shifted closer to his brother and whispered into his ear, "show some pity, brother." Martin turned to him and gave him a cold glare. Herald fearfully moved away."She must leave this room, or you move my mother to a better one before I return," he declared and stormed out.Herald sighed and turned to the doctor. "Move

Chapter 7"Madam Scarlett," The doctor called and went to meet the woman who stood by the door. The woman's gaze was glued on Caitlyn. She ignored the doctor and began to advance toward Caitlyn. "You must be more important to my sons than I am to them, as they have decided to stay here with you rather than with their dying mother," She shouted and stood beside Caitlyn's bed. "You're not dying mother, " Herald countered in a low voice, but madam Scarlett heard him. Caitlyn's head was bowed and she fiddled with her fingers. 'Why didn't they just go to her?'"I'm not? " The woman turned to Herald. He chuckled wryly and looked away. Martin heaved a sigh."How dare you try to take my sons away from me?" The woman's look was stern and sent shivers down Caitlyn's spine. Her eyes were brought down and she held her shaky hands tightly. Madam Scarlett suddenly busted into a burst of loud laughter at the same time Martin attempted to stop her from intimidating Caitlyn any further. "Oh, dear,

Chapter 8Caitlyn blinked rapidly. "I don't know what to say.""Your phone. Can I have your phone? " Martin sighed and spoke after a while. She slowly brought it out from her back pocket and stretched it to him.He collected it and dialed his number. He stopped the call on the first ring and stretched the phone back to her."Save it. I'll call you in two days. I want a reply then, " He told her. She was unable to speak. He dipped his hands into his coat pockets and walked away. She turned and watched him till he walked out of the hall. "Wow! " She breathed out."Martin king wants me as his partner!" She squealed and giggled, cupping her face with both palms.... Martin drove into his compound and went straight to his bedroom after parking his car. He took off his coat and flung it to his bed. Then, he took off his shoes and placed them in the position he took them out from. He stretched and headed to the kitchen. As he opened the fridge in the kitchen, he heaved a sigh. "I need

CAITLYN The Greys
Chapter 32"Good morning, sir," Caitlyn stood up and greeted as lawyer Bernard walked into her office. "Get ready. There's somewhere we need to be in two minutes," He told her and turned to walk out immediately, ignoring her greeting. She knew something was amiss. Perhaps, a serious case to be handled by them. She couldn't point it out, but she knew already that the day would be a busy one. She hurriedly checked her bag to see if every necessary item was in it. After confirming, she picked up her phone from the desk, hung her bag over her shoulder, and quickly walked out of her office. She met her boss standing beside his office and they both walked out of the building together."Take us to the Greys," He told his driver when they were in the car. Caitlyn tilted her head to face him. "The Greys? Why are we going there, sir?"They had handled a case for that family in the previous year and Caitlyn regretted it. They were a powerful family with so many enemies who were prepared to sh
CAITLYN Is he your boyfriend?
Chapter 31"Wow!" Caitlyn breathe out as she walked into Martin's home after he did. "It's so beautiful!" She complimented, her eyes roaming around. "...and huge!" She added. Martin couldn't help but smile. "C'mon, let's go to the kitchen. Help me with the bags," He said and began walking away, carrying four bags- two in each hand. Caitlyn hurriedly picked up the three bags she brought in and followed him, her eyes still wandering about. A heavy breath escaped her throat as they entered the kitchen. "Do you live here alone?" She blurted out, unable to keep the question in. The house looked too big for one person. "Well, not really. My gatekeeper and I share the building," He answered, placing the bags on the large table in the middle. "How?" Caitlyn muttered before trailing off. She thought the house was too big for just him. "What do you mean how?" Martin asked with a raised brow. He started bringing out the items in the bags one after the other, while Caitlyn still stood with
CAITLYN Grocery shopping
Chapter 30"Can I come in?" Kate asked her"Sure! Please, " Caitlyn responded and opened the door wider. "Your apartment is so warm! I love it," She commended as she looked around Caitlyn's room. Caitlyn smiled and drew out the chair facing her dressing table. "Take your seat," She told her, pointing to the single chair in the room. "Isn't yours like this?""Well, yeah. Not exactly, though. I just have a bed and my clothes in it. I recently left my parents' home to start my independent life," Kate replied with a small chuckle. "It truly can be quite hard at the start. I left mine a few years ago and I kid you not, it was crazy.""You're right. I only have a few bucks left as we speak. I might visit them for groceries next week," She said and laughed. Caitlyn smiled. "You should. They'd be happy to help.""I'm checking around for a job. I just need them to cover me until then.""What type of job are you looking for?""Honestly, I'm going to take anyone that comes with good pay.""W
CAITLYN will you help me?
Chapter 29"Sit," He said and pointed to one of the chairs opposite his. Caitlyn took her seat quietly. "Coffee?" He asked after taking his seat. Caitlyn shook her head negatively."Why did you ask for me to come here?" Caitlyn voiced out the question in her head."Well," Martin started, scratching the back of his neck nervously. "We've become pretty much close. I visit your home and even call your phone. It's not something I do with any lady.""Right. From the little I know, it's very unlike you," Caitlyn concurred with a small chuckle."Right. For two days, I've been thinking of the right way to ask you this. I'm unsure of how you'd take it."Caitlyn maintained a calm and focused expression even though her heart was thumping hard against her chest. 'Where's he driving to? Is he trying to ask me out?' She wondered. She could feel her raising heart in her throat. She swallowed. "Go ahead and ask.""Well, I don't have groceries anymore and I'm too busy to go to a grocery store to rest
CAITLYN can you come over to my company?
Chapter 28"She loves you, bro. She loves you so damn much," Herald said in between pants. Martin Sat on the floor, his hands wrapped around his folded legs. He was panting slightly too. "If she does, she wouldn't threaten me with that every time we have a little problem."Herald heaved a sigh. "You need to talk to her about that.""I'm taking legal actions already. I only have a few things left to do and she wouldn't have that power anymore."Herald's broken lips managed to form a smile. "I'm sorry for what happened, earlier," He muttered an apology after a moment of silence. Martin stood on his feet without a word. He looked down at his brother. "Come on," He stretched his right hand to him. Herald looked up at him and quickly took his hand. He helped his brother up and took him inside. "I'll go get the kit," He told him before walking away. ... "Good morning!" Caitlyn greeted cheerfully as she walked to her office. A minute after she settled down, a call from Martin came in.S
CAITLYN fight
Chapter 27It was a Saturday, and Caitlyn was at home. Bored and too lazy to cook, she lay curled up on her bed and shut her eyes.It was one of those days she wished she was at work. As she lay on her bed, she buried herself in deep thoughts; mostly that of her mother. She missed her mother greatly as the woman was the only family she had left. "Make some friends, Caitlyn. You need them," Her mother's words echoed in her head.She wished she had listened and befriended people. She was alone without a friend, family, or lover. Her neighbors weren't friendly so they never spoke except it was an important matter. She heaved a sigh and turned to the other side, her body still curled. "Was I cursed?" She wondered seriously. A lady of her age isn't meant to be as lonely as she was. Her 24th birthday was coming up. She knew that only lawyer Bernard would remember to wish her since her mother who used to be the first already died. Caitlyn sighed again and slowly sat up. "I miss you, mom,
CAITLYN Missing him
chapter 26"You really won't tell me?" Caitlyn turned her neck to him. "I thought you were asleep already." Martin sat back up. "Asleep?" He got on his feet and stretched a little. "It's not my bedtime yet," He smiled. "I don't even have a bedtime," He added with a small chuckle. Caitlyn stood up and faced him fully. "I guess you're leaving now.""Well," He raised his right hand and checked his wristwatch. "Yes," He breathed out and dipped both of his hands into his trousers pocket as they both locked eyes. Caitlyn walked Martin to the front gate after a while. "Wait," She told him as he attempted to open the door to his car. He turned back to face her with a raised brow. She took quick steps towards him and stopped right in front of him. "I need to ask you something, Martin.""Hmm? Go on," He urged, crossing both arms over each other against his chest."Why were you so cold toward me earlier today?" She finally asked, rubbing her palms together while avoiding his gaze. Martin's
CAITLYN You're my partner until I say you're not.
Chapter 25Caitlyn stayed in the office even after all the workers had closed for the day and went home. Lawyer Bernard didn't return to the firm. The meeting didn't go well, so he had gone straight home afterward. Caitlyn didn't feel like leaving. She was hungry and exhausted from the day's work, but she preferred to make her hands and mind busy until night fell before going home. She concluded that she would be more than tired by the time she arrived at her house, that way, she would eat and go straight to sleep. Now and then, she heaved a sigh. She tried to deny how heartbroken she was, but it was quite an obvious fact. She felt abandoned. "He dumped me as one would do to a piece of used tissues," She muttered quietly to herself. "Such a coward he is." Her fingers began punching the keyboard a little harder as her anger brewed "Otherwise, he would have said straight to my face that our deal is over instead of being an..." In a loud voice that depicted anger and pain. "...assho
CAITLYN Dumped!
Chapter 24About thirty minutes later, the door opened and Hannah walked in again. Caitlyn paused her typing and raised her head to face her as she stood beside the table. "Mr. Martin King is here..." Caitlyn's heart immediately skipped a beat as she blinked rapidly. "Should I bring him in?"Caitlyn opened her mouth, but she couldn't utter any words. She lifted her right hand to her chest and squeezed her shirt, her eyes shaking and looking around in confusion. She wanted to refuse to see him, but she had no solid reason to do that. Moreover, her boss had already informed her beforehand about Martin's case and also his arrival."Miss Caitlyn?" Hannah called out to Caitlyn. She was truly concerned about her unnatural attitude."Miss Caitlyn, is anything the matter?" The worried lady asked again when Caitlyn didn't respond to her first call.'Seeing him won't kill me,' Caitlyn thought and huffed releasing her grip on her shirt. "Let him in," She suddenly said, sitting upright with he
