Cat had not accepted any calls from Alex after the initial one, nor had she attempted to reach out to him. It was likely his aim was to warn her against disclosing her suspicion of him being her father. As though she would disclose such information to anyone. That is, if he truly was her father. By choosing not to see him, she remained in the dark. Not sure if he had even run her DNA. Since their encounter at the Women and Children First benefit, she had been anticipating him to call Eric.There was another event tonight, this time for children with cancer. Cat considered not attending, thinking she could claim illness as an excuse. Ultimately, she decided against telling Eric she was unwell. What was the point? Eventually, she would encounter Alex, and she refused to hide from that.“Are you ready?” Nick’s voice came from behind her.As I’ll ever be, Cat thought. She was apprehensive about going tonight. “Yes. Let’s go.” She turned to her husband. Seeing how gorgeous he was in his bla

There was a silent auction for tonight’s event, and Eric took her around to look at what was on offer. So many people had donated for this charity it was heartwarming to see. Cat would have loved to bid on the hot-air balloon ride. But she considered it too dangerous being pregnant.Eric was standing behind her with his arms wrapped around her waist, his hands over her swollen belly. Leaning over her, seeing what she was looking at. “No, no hot-air balloon rides. It’s too dangerous.” Showing his thoughts were on the same track as hers.“It would have been lovely, but you are right. I was thinking the same thing, anyway.” Placing her hand over his laying on her stomach.“Is there anything else you would like?” Eric asked.“No, not really. I have all I need.” Cat couldn’t see anything.“What about the cruise on a yacht for a week?” Eric suggested.Cat pulled a face. “No, I’m not sure how I would go pregnant on a boat.” turning in his arms, placing her hands on his arms, she looked up at

“You know you can tell me anything?” Eric said as they sat in the limo on the way back home.Cat turned her head to look at him. “I know.”“What was happening between you and Alex when I joined you this evening?” Eric had joined them prior to Cat making a decision about meeting Alex. Cat was grateful for the extra time it gave her to think things through. She now had Alex’s number, so if she decided to meet with him, she could call him and arrange it. Should she tell Eric regardless of Alex’s request that she shouldn’t?Alex had told Rebecca why couldn’t she share with Eric? She had only kept quiet before because she really believe she had made a fool of herself. Believing in Eva’s lies. Well, it looked like Eva hadn’t been lying after all. What about the phone call she had made to let The McDonnell family know she was pregnant? Cat would be sure to ask Alex that very question should she decide to meet him.“Nothing. I was asking if he ended up buying anything for Rebecca.”She could s

Cat made a call to her foster mother the next morning. Eric was working out in the apartment gym. She thought about going to watch him, but had figured this was the best time to contact her mother. Grabbing a cup of green tea and her phone, Cat let herself out on the balcony. Putting the cup down on the table and sliding the door shut to the apartment, giving her the privacy she needed to have this conversation. Taking a seat on the edge of a chair.Dialling her mother’s number, the phone rang for some time, and Cat was about to give up when it was answered on the other end.“Hello.” came Dawn’s cheerful voice.“Hi Mum, it’s me.” Cat said, picking up her tea and taking a sip.“Oh, Cat honey. It’s so good to hear from you. I was going to call you today myself.” Cat could hear in her mother’s voice she was happy to hear from her. “How was the charity event last night?”“It was good.” Cat replied after a moment’s pause.“I remember. You’ve previously stated they can be tedious. I hope las

Over the weekend, Cat deeply contemplated meeting Alex. How could she bypass and lose her security? Taking a day off appeared to be the sole option, which would allow her to coordinate with Alex for a pickup. Leaving the office would be too difficult, especially with Peters always guarding her door.During their outing yesterday, Eric felt that something was off, even asking if she was alright. Guilt was written all over her face. She was keeping secrets from her husband; although they were innocuous, the act of hiding them might not be. He deserved the truth.She needed to devise a plan and decide whether and when to inform Eric if her meeting with Alex didn’t go well. She knew Alex wanted to tell him, but she doubted it was a good idea.Perhaps she should just call Alex instead of meeting him face to face. That way, there would be no need to evade her security. If Eric discovered she had shaken off her security, he wouldn’t just be upset, he would be pissed, especially with Claudia s

The next morning, Cat told Eric she wasn’t feeling the best. Her head hurt. “I’m thinking of taking the day off.”Eric looked at her face. “You do look pale. Do you want me to call a doctor?”“No… No… I’m sure it’s just because I’m tired. I didn’t sleep very well last night.” With that, Cat wasn’t lying. She hadn’t slept well. It wasn’t the reason she was having the day off. Cat knew it was a fine line. She would confess all tonight, she had decided after her meeting with Alex. Regardless of what Alex wanted, she was going to tell her husband the truth.“Are the babies moving too much at night?” He said, taking her hand in his across the breakfast bar.Cat shook her head. “No, not that.”“Cat, I think you might be taking on too much with the house and work. Plus, you won’t let me get a cook in here.” Gesturing with his hand to the kitchen area. “You have to remember you are carrying twins. Don’t bring my mum up again. She only carried one.”Cat skillfully flipped the omelette onto the

When the limo pulled up at the restaurant. Cat didn’t wait for the driver to open the door. “Thank you.” She said sweetly to the driver before turning to look at the place Alex had wanted to have lunch. It was a ritzy Italian restaurant about 10 mins from the apartment.Taking a deep breath, before she entered the front door. The maitre d’ greeted her politely. Asking her if she had a reservation.“I’m meeting someone.” Cat told him, thinking that if he held his back any tighter, he would snap it.“Name please.” Looking down at his booking sheet.“Alex McDonnell.” She supplied.He looked up from the listing and gave her a once over. “Excellent. Mr McDonnell has already arrived. Please come this way.”She followed the up-tight man as he led the way through the elegant restaurant.As he rounded a screen area, Cat’s heart stopped beating for a second. Not just Alex there to meet her, but Rebecca as well.Rebecca got up when it looked like Cat was going to flee. Hurrying over and taking Ca

“One thing I did listen to my father about was birth control. I come from a very rich family. We had to be careful. I had always asked a lady if she was on the pill, but not all women tell the truth, so I have always used a condom. That’s why your story was such a shock to me. I have had women claim before I was the father of their child. It was always about money. It was never true, or so I thought.” Alex rubbed his free hand down his face before continuing. Looking again at Rebecca, slightly embarrassed by his next words. “I slept around a lot in my twenties. I was what you would call a man whore or hound dog. It becomes very boring as you get older.”Alex picked up his water to have a drink and was about to go on, but the waiter came over to take their orders. Cat ordered the chicken scallopini with only sparkling water as a drink. Cat liked the fact that Rebecca ordered more than just a salad. They both ordered the Mushroom risotto with a bottle of Siduri Sanda Barbara Pinot Noir.

Cat let out a soft giggle as Eric playfully pushed her down onto the bed, gently pulling off her camisole as he hovered over her. “You are so sexy. I love you more every day,” he whispered, his love for her evident in his voice.Cat groaned with desire as he slid her underwear down her legs, leaving her completely naked. They knew they only had an hour at most.With the assistance of their live-in nanny, Katie. Allison had taken their four-year-old twin boys, Jack and Michael, to the beach. Eric had insisted that Cat have a nanny to help with the boys, but only when she needed it. Katie’s room was conveniently located right next to the boys’ room. Cat adored being a mother, but twin boys could definitely be a handful.As Eric moved away from the bed to remove his shirt and pants, Cat stretched out on the bed, eagerly watching her stunning husband undress. A delicious warmth spread through her body, causing her skin to tingle with anticipation. He made it a point to tell her he loved he

They didn’t stick around for the police to arrive; it wasn’t as if they were fleeing the scene of a crime; the perpetrator was still there. Eric informed her that when the police wanted a statement, they could find them at the hospital and get statements after the babies had arrived. Claudia wasn’t going anywhere but a jail cell or another mental hospital.Getting Cat to the hospital was their top priority. She agreed with him, especially as another wave of pain hit her. Evan took the wheel so that Eric could sit in the back with Cat. She leaned into him, squeezing his hand each time the pain intensified. Cat noticed him wince a few times. It was a small comfort that he only felt a fraction of the pain she was going through.“Breathe,” Eric instructed, employing the breathing techniques they had learnt together. Cat stared at him for a moment, wondering if he was joking. How could she focus on her breathing when they were racing through traffic, desperately trying to reach the hospital

“How did you get in?” Cat asked as her mind raced. What was she going to do? Did she have time to wait for someone to save her, or did she need to save herself?“It was incredibly simple. After you left yesterday, did you even take a moment to check if anyone was trying to sneak under the garage roller door? I simply waited until you all drove away and swiftly ducked under the door.”“So you have been here since yesterday?” The sick feeling was back in her stomach, the thought of Claudia having free rein in the house last night and lying in wait for this morning. Picking the best time to come out of her hiding spot.“Yes, it was easy, like I said. I bought provisions with me, of course, and fresh water was available.” Claudia pointed to the tap on the kitchen island.Cat didn’t look towards where she was pointing, unable to take her eyes off the madwoman in front of her and the gun in her hand.“Unbelievable,” thought Cat. She couldn’t fathom how Claudia had managed to reach her so eas

After four weeks had passed, there was still no word from Eva. Everyone had collectively reached the conclusion that her sudden disappearance resulted from Eric and Alex’s conversation with Cat’s birth mother. It seemed that their discussion had the intended effect, causing Eva to flee the town.Cat was pleased because, even though she had nothing to be ashamed of, she still didn’t want to air her dirty laundry in public.It was bad enough with stories about Cat being Alex’s daughter, which she didn’t find so embarrassing, although there was a lot of speculation about how that came about. Who was Cat’s mother? It wouldn’t be long before they found out she had gone into foster care. Hopefully, the trail ended there and a new story would distract the media away from her life story.They have been coming out to the new house every weekend, since Cat had moved back in with Eric. Their purpose is to oversee the many changes being made to the place, as well as to meet with the painters and d

Later that night, Eric left the apartment to meet with Alex so both of them could deal with Eva. She didn’t ask to come and honestly didn’t want to.Eric said in parting. “Might be an idea to call Mum and Jo while I’m gone, so they don’t hate me so much.” Before kissing her on the mouth hungrily. Then he was gone. Cat thought about what he had said and realised maybe he was right and it would help her take her mind off her birth mother.Cat still hurt from the fact Eva wanted to make money off her in this disgraceful manner. But like the old saying went, you could pick your friends, but you can’t choose your family.For Cat, it just reinforced why she didn’t have Eva in her life to start with.Cat picked up the phone and called Dawn first. The first thing they talked about was the fact that Eric and she had sorted out their differences.Dawn was over the moon. Reminding Cat that marriage was about working on the relationship that just didn’t stop because you had a piece of paper. Cat f

When they pulled into the driveway of their new home. Cat saw that Alex’s car was already in the driveway. When they got out, Cat walked over to the car, seeing it was empty.Looking around, she couldn’t spot them. They might have headed around the house towards the beach. Eric took her hand in his as the guards fanned out. Evan walking closest to them. As they neared the house, Alex and Rebecca rounded the side of the house, heading back their way. When Rebecca and Cat saw each other, Cat let go of Eric's hand and Rebecca did the same with Alex. They walked faster to meet each other halfway. The women embraced as if they hadn’t seen each other in months.“I’m so happy for you.” Rebecca whispered in her ear. Just before the men reached them.Alex leaned in to kiss Cat on the cheek. They had found it harder to have a normal father daughter closeness. Cat knew it was new for them both and she would be uncomfortable if he swept her into his arms to hug and kiss her like Rebecca had done.

It was lunchtime before they left the bedroom. Her only motivation to get up had been the promise of seeing the progress on the house.Cat fixed them some sandwiches while Eric called the security team to let them know. They would leave in 30 minutes and to have the cars ready to go.Then he sat down beside her to enjoy the food she had prepared. Which wasn’t much. Just chicken and salad on rye. Cat got up to get the mayo out of the fridge, handing it to Eric. Before sitting down to her own sandwich.Eric offered the mayo to her. Cat shook her head, taking a bite. Thinking for a moment. “I want to invite Alex and Rebecca to the house if they are free.”Eric frowned at her. “Cat…”“Eric, before you say anything, remember, he is my father. If you have a problem with him, you need to sort it out. I want him and Rebecca in my life and the lives of our children. I think after I just came home with you last night, it would be good to clear the air and let them know I’m ok… we are ok.”Eric e

Eric’s hands moved up and down her back, causing warmth to spread through her body. She had missed this and him while she had been gone. Their quick coupling at the charity event hadn’t satiated her. it had been fun and exciting. Cat had never had sex like that before with so many people in the next room. She should be embarrassed that Evan had heard it all. But somehow she wasn’t. Did that make her an exhibitionist, or was she so comfortable with Evan she had thought so little about it after she had walked out and found him waiting?Pulling back so she could see Eric’s face. “You know Evan stood guard outside the Cleaner’s closet last night, don’t you? He heard everything.”Eric smirked. He didn’t seem to care about this bit of information. “So?”“It might not be a big deal to you, but I’m not used to having sex like that.”Eric shook his head. “Making love Cat. Having sex is not what we are about. Having sex is so casual. Almost meaningless.”Cat’s heart swelled at his words. She kne

Cat fixed her eyes on him, wondering what he had to tell her. But she knew he needed to hear her side of the tale first. “When Eva came to the office, she tried to blackmail me for money. She claimed that if I paid her, she would reveal my father’s name to me.” Cat couldn’t hide from the truth as she kept her gaze on his face.Eric frowned, expressing his disbelief. “I can’t believe you didn’t tell me,” he said.Cat chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. “Honestly, my childhood was far from pleasant. I wanted to shield you from as much of it as possible. It’s a dark part of my past. You saw Eva, Eric. She looks like someone you’d find on a street corner. It’s embarrassing to have any connection with her. The day they removed me from her care, I was terrified, but the day they took me away from her was the best day of my life.”Cat’s confession hung heavy in the air as Eric processed her words. He had always known that Cat had a difficult past. He reached out and took her hand, offering
