The next call Cat made was to Dawn. Catโs foster mother was concerned about her once she had heard what had happened yesterday.But Dawn was also staying open to the fact that they could get back together and work things out. โIt could just be one big misunderstanding. Marriage is about work, Cat. You donโt just get that piece of paper and stop trying to work at your marriage. There are going to be fights and misunderstandings. You just need to come to an arrangement about how you will manage it.โโBut mum, I have never heard you and dad fight ever.โ This comment from Cat made Dawn laugh.โNot that you witnessed no. We didโฆ do fight even now, but never in front of you. Itโs almost impossible for two people to live together and not fight sometimes. When we first married, boy, did we disagree about almost everything? But over time, we got to understand each other better and accept each otherโs differences. When that happened, the disagreements became less and less. Our rule was we never

Cat was sitting in the library, on a loveseat, near the bay window with her feet up reading, later that day when Alex walked in, followed by two men in dark suits.She didnโt need to be told who they were; Cat thought all bodyguards must dress the same and have similar postures. Their presence made it clear to Cat that Alex had arranged for her to have protection.Cat sighed, taking her feet off the seat and putting the book she was reading on the side table next to her cup of tea. Which Katie had brought into her a few minutes ago. Before turning her attention to Alex.He did not waste anytime explaining what she already guessed. โCat, with the threat of Claudia still a problem, I want you to have your own security. Even after Claudia has been caught, you will still need protection. Once it becomes known that you are my daughter, there will be a higher risk to your safety.โCat opened her mouth to protest, but Alex quickly interrupted her, saying, โIf you canโt think of your own safet

By the next week, Cat had settled in to Alex and Rebeccaโs house over the last few days. She had also started working at Alexโs company as a junior executive. It was fun learning new things and helped to keep her mind off her personal problems.Tonight was the Charity ball Allison was hosting in the name of Logan holdings. Rebecca had taken Cat shopping at a very expensive designer pregnancy store in Sydney. She had let Rebecca help her choose her dress.Cat stood in front of her mirror in her bedroom. Turning this way and that. Surprised at how great the red scarlet dress looked on her. Cat hadnโt gained much weight other than her belly. She knew it was partly because she was having twins and a lot of energy went into feeding them.Cat was glad of that because the dress had little room left, as it hugged her body to her hips before flaring out to the floor. The strapless dress had a slight train accentuating her figure. Her red hair was styled in soft curls, framing her face and neck

Eric really regret coming to the charity event tonight, just like he knew he would. But he felt like he didnโt have much of a choice. The event was held in his companyโs name, and his mother had made it clear that she would disown him if he didnโt show up. Reluctantly, he found himself standing beside his mother, forced to greet the arriving guests.As he stood there, Eric couldnโt help but feel relieved they had only allocated a small amount of time for this ordeal. If people ran late, well, that was their problem. All he really wanted was a stiff drink to help him forget about the insufferable week he had endured.It had all started with his mother giving him the cold shoulder after he assured her that Cat, his wife and unborn children had the necessary protection.After Eric had let his mum know, he had indeed sent Peters; Catโs trusted bodyguard, first to find out her location and then to protect her.However, Ericโs anger only grew when Peters reported back that Cat was staying at

Cat gave Allison a smile before putting her hand back in the crook of Evanโs arm as they made their way into the ballroom, following Alex and Rebecca.Tonightโs event wasnโt a sit down meal because Allison found them toโฆstuffy. It was hard if you were sitting with someone you didnโt like to get away from them, Allison had told her once. At least in an informal setting it was easier for people to move around, mingle and have fun and you couldnโt do that while having a formal sit down meal.There were tables and chairs placed around the sides of the room. On each table sat a beautiful flower arrangement. The chairs draped in white fabric matching the white tablecloths.The left side of the ballroom held two sets of french doors opening onto a wide veranda. Giving people a place they could go outside if they needed fresh air and just around the corner was a smokerโs area.In the middle of the ballroom, there was a circular dais where Allison had a band setup. Currently, they were playing

โI heard from Jo you are working for Alex now. Are you enjoying it?โ Allison asked, changing the subject.โItโs completely different from what I was doing while working with you. Iโm loving it though, learning new things. I feel a little guilty that Iโll only be there a few months before I go on maternity leave.โ She was working as a junior executive in Alexโs company. No one there knew she was his daughter. Yet.โIโm sure when everything comes out, people will understand. Are you going back to work after the babies are born?โโIโm not sure. I want to be at home for my children, but itโs also nice connecting with people outside the home.โAlex added. โShe can figure it out later. The decision is hers.โAllison nodded, then said dramatically, for effect. โNow, I really must go and mingle with the other guestsโ She was really in her element. โIโll be around later on tonight.โ Allison gave Cat another hug and kiss on the cheek before moving off to do her hostess duties.A waiter came roun

After a few moments of tense silence, Eric placed a hand on the wall by her head. โWhat the hell is going on, Cat? Are you with Alex or this new guy you arrived with?โCat didnโt want to make Eric jealous, but his accusation angered her, nonetheless. After all, he had been her first lover. What did he expect? That now she had experienced it, she couldnโt live without sex? The truth was, the only person she was struggling to be without was him. Being in such close proximity to him, with his scent enveloping her, was beginning to wear on her nerves.โWhatโs it to you? You walked away from me, remember?โ Cat said, incensed by his dog in the manor attitude. How dare he question her?Eric wasnโt happy with her not answering his question. His face darkened. โDonโt push me Cat.โ Putting his other hand flat on the wall on the other side of her head. Caging her in.She wasnโt scared of him. Eric would never hurt her physically. โYou want a divorce, remember? What I do with my life is my own bus

As Cat came barreling out of the cleaners closet shocked at her own behaviour, she ran into a hard chest. She looked up into Evanโs intense eyes. He had grabbed her arms to steady her and looking over her shoulder to the open door behind her.Cat could only guess that he was witnessing Eric in the same state of dishevelment as her, because she didnโt turn around to check. It made her flash red, growing hot all over.She reached back behind her. She kept her eyes fixed on Evanโs face. Her hand fumbled a few times before finally finding the handle of the door, and she pulled it closed. The fact that Evan was witnessing this was bad enough, and she didnโt want anyone else to see. With a smirk on his face, he asked, โChecking out operations, Cat?โShe hit him on the arm. โThis isnโt funny. How long have you been here?โโWhat? Waiting outside the door while you do the nasty with a room full of people just down there.โ Evan pointed to the open hallway leading to the ballroom. He looked like

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. โYou are so sexy. I love you more every day,โ 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. Katieโs room was conveniently located right next to the boysโ 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 didnโt stick around for the police to arrive; it wasnโt 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 wasnโt 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.โBreathe,โ 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

โHow did you get in?โ 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?โIt 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.โโSo you have been here since yesterday?โ 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.โYes, it was easy, like I said. I bought provisions with me, of course, and fresh water was available.โ Claudia pointed to the tap on the kitchen island.Cat didnโt look towards where she was pointing, unable to take her eyes off the madwoman in front of her and the gun in her hand.โUnbelievable,โ thought Cat. She couldnโt 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 Alexโs conversation with Catโs 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 didnโt want to air her dirty laundry in public.It was bad enough with stories about Cat being Alexโs daughter, which she didnโt find so embarrassing, although there was a lot of speculation about how that came about. Who was Catโs mother? It wouldnโt 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 didnโt ask to come and honestly didnโt want to.Eric said in parting. โMight be an idea to call Mum and Jo while Iโm gone, so they donโt hate me so much.โ 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 canโt choose your family.For Cat, it just reinforced why she didnโt 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 didnโt stop because you had a piece of paper. Cat f

When they pulled into the driveway of their new home. Cat saw that Alexโs car was already in the driveway. When they got out, Cat walked over to the car, seeing it was empty.Looking around, she couldnโt 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 hadnโt seen each other in months.โIโm so happy for you.โ 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 wasnโt 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. โI want to invite Alex and Rebecca to the house if they are free.โEric frowned at her. โCatโฆโโEric, 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.

Ericโs 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 hadnโt 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 wasnโt. 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 Ericโs face. โYou know Evan stood guard outside the Cleanerโs closet last night, donโt you? He heard everything.โEric smirked. He didnโt seem to care about this bit of information. โSo?โโIt might not be a big deal to you, but Iโm not used to having sex like that.โEric shook his head. โMaking love Cat. Having sex is not what we are about. Having sex is so casual. Almost meaningless.โCatโs 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. โWhen Eva came to the office, she tried to blackmail me for money. She claimed that if I paid her, she would reveal my fatherโs name to me.โ Cat couldnโt hide from the truth as she kept her gaze on his face.Eric frowned, expressing his disbelief. โI canโt believe you didnโt tell me,โ he said.Cat chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. โHonestly, my childhood was far from pleasant. I wanted to shield you from as much of it as possible. Itโs a dark part of my past. You saw Eva, Eric. She looks like someone youโd find on a street corner. Itโs 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.โCatโs 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
