CAITLYN "Your brother"
Chapter 15Caitlyn woke up three hours later. At first, her vision was blurry. She raised her hand slowly and rubbed her eyes gently. After blinking twice, she could see clearly.She turned her eyes away from the white ceiling and they landed on Martin who was standing beside her with his hands in his pockets and his gaze fixed on her."You're awake. It's been about three hours," he spoke and took his seat beside her. Caitlyn felt a sharp pain in her head that made her shut her eyes tightly. She recalled everything that happened.Her eyes held a look of guilt as she opened them again. She couldn't bring herself to look at Martin."I'm sorry for making you go through the stress of bringing me here," she apologized."You're sorry?" Martin scoffed angrily. Caitlyn could tell he was upset, and it made her feel more guilty."An ulcer patient should prioritize their meals before any other thing. I suppose your smartness was taken over by your sympathy for a dog and made you neglect your hea
CAITLYN "take your time. I'll wait."
Chapter 16"Hello, sir, " Caitlyn greeted as she walked into her boss's office. The man was busy rearranging his books on his shelf when she walked in. He paused and turned to her. "Sit, Caitlyn, " He told her and turned his gaze back to his shelf. "What do you want? " He asked when Caitlyn remained silent. She cleared her throat a little and hesitated for a while before responding. "A favor, sir, " She finally said. Her gaze was fixed on her thighs as she played with her fingers.Caitlyn was aware that lawyer Bernard favored her among all his employees. However, she rarely asked for anything from him. The party was going to hold the next day which was a Saturday, but her boss already got her occupied for the day. She thought she could plead that she shifted the job to the day after the party since she couldn't be absent from the party. Her problem at that moment was finding the right way to tell her boss that she wanted to shift an important job for a party.Lawyer Bernard cleare
CAITLYN "I'm not going to take advantage of you."
Chapter 17"Why did you come, and why aren't you leaving yet? " Caitlyn asked him with a suspicious look in her eyes. It's been almost thirty minutes since they finished eating and Martin wasn't showing any sign of leaving.He looked up from his phone and they held each other's gaze for a second. Caitlyn raised a brow and slightly tilted her head to the side. "Won't you answer me? "He rolled his eyes and stood on his feet. He went to Caitlyn who was sitting on her bed. "Move away, " He ordered in his husky voice. Caitlyn was confused. She pulled her brows together and asked, "why?" Martin sighed and bowed his head with both his hands resting on both sides of his waist."You forced me," He mumbled and brushed her off the bed. "Ah!" She screamed as she fell on her butts with a surprised expression that was soon replaced with a glare. "What was that?" She yelled, but Martin was already laying on his back with his eyes closed and his hands clutching a pillow close to his chest. He ig
CAITLYN "I won't eat until you're here."
Chapter 18"Nothing important," She stuttered, avoiding his piercing eyes. She truly hoped he hadn't heard everything she said. Her heart thumped hard against her chest."Well, I want to know what it was that made you come this close to me to say," He told her, his hand still gripping hers.Caitlyn realized they were only inches away from each other. She immediately shifted and roughly yanked her hand away from his grip. She stood on her feet and clasped her fingers together behind her. She looked around nervously and hesitated a little before she responded, "I wanted to wake you up. It's late already," She lied with a nervous chuckle.Martin sat upright, not releasing his gaze on her. He had heard all she said. He was sure he didn't hear her wrong. Only that he was too slow-witted to fully understand her words."It's 7 pm already, Mr. Martin," She told him with a forced smile."Did I sleep that long?" Martin asked in surprise and slowly got out of her bed. Caitlyn exhaled, gladdened
CAITLYN "don't make me wait."
Chapter 19"Martin. Son. You're here!" Madam Scarlett exclaimed in a happy voice as she rushed to meet her son. Martin stretched out his hands open with a smile plastered on his face. "My dear boy," Madam Scarlett smiled back as they embraced lovingly. Martin never liked to come home, but he knew he felt the happiest whenever he was home."How are you, mother?" He asked her with shining eyes. His eyes always had a way of showing happiness. Their hands still lingered on each other after their warm hug."I'm very well, son. I'm cooking!" She announced, giggling. Martin raised a brow with a smile. "Really?""Yes, son," She responded and began to lead him to the kitchen, their fingers locked. "Oh, and your brother is home," She informed him as they walked in."Wow, mother. This smells so good," He said and dramatically sniffed the air which made madam Scarlett chuckle. He went to the pot on the cooker and opened it. "It looks good, too!" He voiced out. Madam Scarlett walked to him with
CAITLYN Did i overdress?
Chapter 20"Can we leave now?" She asked as she shyly tucked her hair behind her ear after noticing that Martin wouldn't stop staring at her. He blinked rapidly and swallowed as he finally got a hold of himself. 'How can she be this beautiful?'"Yeah. Sure!" He stuttered and crossed over to the other side of the car and opened the door. Caitlyn, surprised, muttered a thank you and entered the car while Martin nodded and went back to the other door. He entered and Kickstarted the engine almost immediately. The drive to the venue was void of noise, except for the soft music playing from the speaker. Martin appeared to be focused on the road, but he was stealing glances at Caitlyn's exposed thighs. Without his knowledge, she caught him every time he did. It was hard for her to try to suppress the urge to smile.Thirty minutes into the drive, Caitlyn suddenly felt thirsty. There was bottled water in the car's compartment, but she was unable to ask Martin for it. She swallowed her sali
CAITLYN Take your seat on my thighs.
Chapter 21"Good God!" Caitlyn, startled, muttered within herself. Nearly all the eyes in the room were on her, and she could hear their loud whispering, but couldn't decipher what they were talking about."Relax," Martin said in a low tone and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. She looked up at him and nodded."How are you, sweethearts?" Madam Scarlett finally reached them, and Caitlyn felt soothed by the warm hug the woman gave her after the brief tight embrace with her son. She touched Caitlyn's hair. "You look so beautiful, dear. Radiating, I must confess."Caitlyn looked up at madam Scarlett with a smile that was filled with appreciation. The guests had all turned away their attention from them, and it brought comfort back to Caitlyn."What skincare product do you use, my dear? " Mother?" Martin was shocked at her sudden question. Madam Scarlett eyed him. "I do not remember speaking to you, Martin."She turned her head back to Caitlyn. "Dear, as I was saying.""Mother?" Caitlyn
CAITLYN She cheated fourteen times.
Chapter 22The party was finally over and Martin and Caitlyn were on their way out after saying goodbye to madam Scarlett. Caitlyn was feeling somewhat shy around Martin after sitting on his thighs until the closing of the party. "Martin!" A female voice that sounded confident and sweet stopped Martin and Caitlyn from taking their final step out of the hall. 'It's probably another business partner. Will they not even let us leave here peacefully?' Caitlyn complained inwardly. Both of them turned fully to face the caller, and Caitlyn's jaw dropped. She looked extraordinarily stunning! She was dressed in the exact way as Caitlyn, but the latter was too busy admiring the woman's face to notice her dress. It was only when Martin's deep voice sounded that she returned to herself. "Veronica." The woman approached them with a smile and stopped only when stood a few inches away from them.Although Martin tried to maintain his cool, Caitlyn could see that he wasn't himself. He let out a h

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
