View MoreCat sat the next day with her foster mum in the lounge, looking over the houses Eric had sent through. She fell in love with an oceanfront property. It had two major issues: extensive work required and costly for a place in dire need of so much work. It just seemed to her a little excessive.“It really is lovely.” Expressed Dawn.“Mum, I agree, but I’m not sure it would be ready to move in before the babies are born.” Cat worried. It was a shame it needed so much work.“I think you forget how wealthy your husband is. If the house fits both of your requirements. Eric could hire an army of people to get it fixed in time.”Cat nodded, biting her bottom lip. “But is it worth it?”“Why don’t you put the house on your list and look at it on Saturday? You might hate it when you actually see it.”Cat nodded again, but wasn’t so sure. Positive that when she saw it, she would love it. It wasn’t modern. The house dated back to the late 1800s, a beautiful brick home with chimneys in the formal lo
Cat was so excited to go home she was almost bursting. Eric wouldn’t let her pack her own things up. So, she sat on the bed and watched him. He permitted her to dress herself with his assistance. He had brought in sweats for her to go home in. Easy to put on and remove. As she was slipping on her shoes, Eric made sure he had everything from the bathroom. He had only just placed her packed bag on the bed when the nurse came in with her release papers. Cat happily signed them.“Here is the paperwork for at home care. Should you have questions, call the hospital or book an appointment with your GP.” Cat grinned a thanks at the nurse, about to take the paperwork offered. But Eric beat her to it.“It’s like you don’t trust me.” Cat gave Eric a suspicious look.Eric denied nothing, just said. “When it comes to your health and that of the babies, I’m making it my responsibility until you are back on your feet.”The nurse laughed and left the room, only to return with a wheelchair.“I don’t ne
Two days later, Cat had had enough. She wanted to go home. She didn’t enjoy being in the hospital, and even in a private room, the noise level wasn’t ideal for her rest, as the doctor had suggested.Eric looked up from his computer as she sighed. “Do you need something?”“Yes, I want to leave. I’m bored out of my mind and I’m sick of being stuck in this bed.” Even Cat could hear the whine in her voice. God, she sounded like a petulant child. She knew she was only here for her and the babies’ best interests. But day time television sucked. Until now, Cat had never realised how much. “I’m sick of TV and magazines. Even the smell of a hospital around me all the time is getting to me.” Cat pouted. Totally fed up with her current situation.Eric smirked at her.“Eric, it isn’t funny.” Cat expressed her displeasure by scowling at him as he laughed at her. She knew she wasn’t being fair. It demonstrated her discontent about being stuck here until Dr Mckay let her go home.Eric put his compute
Cat had an awful night. Now she was more awake, everything hurt and because of the babies; they haven’t been able to give her anything to help with the pain. The hospital staff also told her the best thing was rest. Tell that to her aching body.By mid-morning, Cat had a parade of visitors. Jack and Dawn came first, arriving as Eric was leaving. He kissed her warmly, saying. “I’ll be back in the hour.”On his return, he set up his laptop in the corner so he could keep an eye on her. She was more awake now, but he was making sure she didn’t overtax herself.After Jack and Dawn left to go have lunch. Allison arrived with Jo. They spent an hour together. It must’ve cost Jo, but she said nothing about Claudia. Cat knew once Jo got her alone, Jo would expect her to tell her everything.Cat found out Tilly was filling in for her at the office, and Allison was very pleased. Cat smiled; glad Allison had someone helping her.Then Eric stepped out of the room to make a few calls. The police arri
Voices woke her. She lay there trying to understand what was going on, the beat of machines and the smell of a hospital room... that’s right, she was in a hospital.Why? Cat tried to remember, then it came back to her. Claudia! The woman had acted completely crazy. As Cat’s memory started to return, her internal panic increased. Had she lost the babies? Please god no! Please, loss filled Cat at even the thought of her babies gone.She felt empty. She needed to open her eyes and ask someone before grief overwhelmed her. Cat just wasn’t sure if she was ready to hear it yet. She didn’t know if she could even voice the question.Bracing herself, Cat opened her eyes and looked around without moving her head. The pain she felt was unbelievable, knowing if she moved her head, it would only make it worse.Cat just looked around with her eyes, trying to make them focus. The room was dim, but light still peaked around the blinds, allowing some light into the room. No overhead lights. That was go
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
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 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
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-
