Two weeks later, Cat stood by Eric as they exchanged vows. It all felt unreal. Within two weeks, she had already moved into Eric’s penthouse apartment and, with the help of Allison, Dawn, and Jo, planned the wedding.True to his word, Eric had driven her down to Cowra to meet Cat’s foster parents. He had been old fashion even asking for their blessing and her hand in marriage from both Jack and Dawn. This extremely thrilled Dawn. Eric, being Eric, he had won them both over.Cat smirked as she remembered the look on Eric’s face when he discovered they had been assigned separate bedrooms during their overnight stay. Eric grumbled about booking them into a hotel. Cat had only laughed at him, telling him he could do without for one night.Jack had been so happy to be asked to give her away today. He had made her cry a little, telling her before walking her to meet Eric that he couldn’t have been prouder of the woman she had turned out to be.As Cat listened to the celebrant, she hoped she

Cat felt the light touch on her cheek. Slowly opening her eyes, she smiled softly into Eric’s tender expression.“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I seem to be always falling asleep on you. “Eric laughed. “Thank God, I know it’s the pregnancy, otherwise my ego would be smashed to pieces by now. We are home.”Placing a lingering kiss on the corner of her mouth, he undid her seatbelt, then his own. Getting out of the car, he rounded it to help her out. They walked to the lift together.Once inside and heading for the penthouse, he said, “I started looking for a house.” Pulling her into his arms.Cat turned her head up to him. “Ok.”Eric squeezed her close. “Are you ok with moving to the outskirts of Sydney?” Cat ran a hand down his face, touching his lips.“Yes, I’d like somewhere with a garden.” He was thinking of Rachel, she was sure. She wasn’t Rachel. The nightlife in Sydney held very little interest to her. Cat wanted somewhere to play with her children.Relieved, Eric breathed out and

Cat opened her eyes the next morning. Light was shining through the window. She was curled up against Eric’s side, her head resting on his chest. Eric had his arm wrapped around her and his legs intertwined with hers. Cat breathed in his manly scent.She couldn’t believe they had got married so quickly. She was now his wife. Laying a hand on her stomach. Their family was already growing in her belly.They had decided to have a honeymoon, just not yet. It was short notice for Eric to get away so suddenly, and he had meetings scheduled over the coming weeks. Jo was working on clearing two weeks in his calendar so they could escape.Unfortunately, Cat still had to deal with Claudia at work. One could only hope she would get a transfer or just decide to leave. Cat didn’t wish the woman harm. She just wanted her away from her and Eric. It made her uncomfortable that Eric still worked closely with the other woman. Just because he had broken things off with Claudia didn’t mean his feelings we

Cat looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. She was so mad that Claudia had the hide to turn up here.Cat knew it was irrational, but she was mad at Eric as well. Even though she knew logically it wasn’t his fault, he had the same level of surprise as she did when Claudia was at the door. It made her mad because he was the one that had put them all in the situation in the first place. For a man who didn’t date women that worked for him, he had made the mistake twice.Taking a deep breath, Cat washed her face, then cleaned her teeth and put her red hair up into a ponytail. There was no way she was changing for their day out.For their trip today, jeans and t-shirt were the perfect outfit. No fucking red slut dress, better suited for a nightclub than a day at the office.She needed to calm down. Deep breath in, deep breath out. Cat jumped as there was a knock at the bathroom door.“Cat? You ok.”Putting a smile on her face, she opened the door. “Sure, why wouldn’t I be.” Lying through

Cat stirred, blinking her eyes open. She was lying on her side with Eric curled around her back, his heavy arm resting around her middle and hand cupping her breast.Early morning light streamed through the window across the room, bathing them in its glow. Cat thought about yesterday and their trip home. She had tried again to explain her concerns about Claudia, how she would say nasty things to people and have unrealistic demands, without mentioning the things she had said and done to Cat personally. If she talked about them now after everything. It would just sound like jealousy on her part, because Eric had dated Claudia. When Eric still didn’t take her worries seriously. In the end, Cat told him out of frustration, she even believed the woman was acting like a stalker.At this point, Eric had laughed at her. He had an answer for everything, including Claudia, turning up at their apartment. Claudia explained her desire to ensure timely completion of the document because of its time-

Cat couldn’t believe the stupid woman had done this to her, granted she had no proof.She hadn’t seen Claudia push the box out of the doorway, because her back had been turned away. Cat knew it had been Claudia. No one else had been in the hallway at the time and the box full of paperwork was way too heavy to be pushed out of the way by the door.“This is all your fault, Eric!” Cat yelled out to the empty room.Because it was. It was his fault that he didn’t see what a crazy bitch Claudia was and now, because he hadn’t taken Cat seriously, she was stuck in a storage room for god knows how long. Thank god the light was on. It would have been much worse had she been stuck in here without a light. Not that she was afraid of the dark or anything. The thought of being stuck in a locked room in the dark scared the shit out of her.Cat didn’t have a watch on, because she always checked the time on her iPhone. Cat worked out the time to be around 10:45am.Because of Eric’s busy day planned, t

The car atmosphere was tense the next morning. But during the ride, Eric reached over to grab one of her hands in his.“Everything will be ok.” Lifting her hand to his mouth then he kissed her palm, before laying her hand on his thigh.“There are some things we need to talk about and stuff I need to explain. I wished we had talked last night.”But she had locked him out. That was left unsaid. “I need to sort things out today, stay near the office, also keep your phone handy.” Holding her hand still on his thigh, only lifting his hand away to change gears. “Cat, I was really worried yesterday. I want nothing like that happening again.”Eric didn’t elaborate anymore as they arrived at the underground parking of Logan holdings inc. as Eric parked the car in his spot, he leaned over kissing her sweetly. It soon became heated after a few minutes. He pulled away.“I’m stopping now before security walk by and catches us. You know what gossip is like in an office building.” Eric said, breathin

Cat decided she couldn’t let it get to her and got to work. She still had all the CVs sitting on her desk she needed to go through, hoping to find just the right fit for Allison. One CV was from an employee currently working at Logan Holdings. She was young, only 19, but at present worked on the reception desk, on the ground floor. Cat lifted the phone, hoping Tilly would pick up when she dialled the reception number. “Logan Holdings, Tilly speaking. How may I direct your call?” “Tilly, this is Katherine from Allison Logan’s office. I just came across your CV. I was wondering if you could come and see me today? To talk about your interest in the role.” Then Cat thought “Tilly does your direct supervisor know you applied?” “That’s great, oh yes! Katherine, is it all right to call you Katherine or should I call you Mrs Logan now? Yes, my supervisor, Mrs Pearson, recommended I apply for the job.” Tilly said excitedly. Cat smiled “Katherine or Cat is fine, can you ask Mrs Pearson then

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
