Chapter 7

Agatha's pov

"Oh my GOD agy, your life is way more interesting than mine right now" Claire declares after I explain the roller coaster that is my life

I sigh "Thanks for your insight Claire you've been helpful"

"What! It's not every day your friend enters a contract marriage with a hot billionaire " she shouts

I groan "You're not helping here, What do I do about the shopping situation? I ask her

"What's there to do but go shopping, You have to admit his reasoning is valid, you're married to a billionaire you have to look like a billionaire wife it's that simple," she tells me

"But I don't want his money," I say frustrated that she's making sense

"In a way, he's doing it for himself and his image, not you babe," she says

"Look it's just one year right? I say you enjoy it you don't have to work or worry about Kaylee, it's like a mini vacation, you're just not leaving the country" she adds

"Okay I guess you're right" I sigh "I'm always right agy bear" she sings

I scrunch my nose at the nickname, I hate being called that because that's what Frank my ex called me and she knew it

"You know I hate that name" I whine "I know," she says and I imagine she has a wide grin on her face

"Look at you, you went from douchebag ex to hot billionaire CEO, I always knew you had it in you, I'm a proud mom," she says pretending to sniff

I roll my eyes at her antics "Don't you have a job to get to? I ask teasingly

"Urrgh, it's going to be so boring without you" she whines "No it's not you have Roy," I tell her

"He's going to steal me away from you, do you want that? She asked incredulously

I chuckle at her tone "Tell you what why don't you and I go shopping together tomorrow"

She squeals "yayy a shopping invitation from billionaire cades wife, I'd never say no to that"

I laugh shaking my head, She always lightened my mood "Meet me at the hospital by 2, I want to go see Kaylee before her treatments start"

"Okay, how is she doing? She asks

"She's okay, She's nervous about the treatment, but she's strong she can do it"

She releases a breath "That's good, anyway I have to go, some of us have work"

I roll my eyes "yh yh, see you tomorrow Bye"

"Bye, love ya," she says ending the call

I sigh that went better than expected, I release a yawn and take it as my cue to turn in for the night.

As I make my way to the stairs I notice the lights in cades office are still on, and I contemplate going to apologize for trying to go against his request

But I decided against it, and made my way to my room, I sprawl on the bed and drifted to sleep almost immediately

My dreams were filled with a pair of piercing grey eyes and muscular arms

* * * * * * * * * *

The blaring of my alarm interrupts my dreaming, I groan searching around the bed for my phone to turn the darn thing off

I had to prepare for work, I stood up and take in the room, my room? and then I release a groan remembering the events of yesterday

I don't think I was leaving this room until I had to go to the hospital, I didn't want to bump into Cade

But my stomach had other plans because it rumbled indicating I needed food

I remember I didn't finish my dinner yesterday, I had to get something to eat

I grab my robe, pick up my phone, and make my way downstairs

As I round the corner I stop in my tracks taking in the scene in front of me

Cade stood shirtless and barefoot only wearing sweatpants that hung low, dangerously low might I add

I swallow feeling hot all of a sudden and I consider going back up and waiting till he's gone for work

The smell of pancakes wafts through my nose stopping my plan of escaping, I didn't know he cooked, but then again we didn't know each other

I watch him as he flips the pancake his back muscles flexing with the movement damn!! He was so sexy

GOD what is wrong with me ogling a man is not in my nature, I go to take my eyes away just as he turns and notices me

I flush, jeez Keep it together agy, now you've been caught

I clear my throat "Uh hi? I say but it comes out as a question and I if it's possible I flush harder

He chuckles like he finds this amusing, yh I'm sure he has different girls tripping over their words just to get his attention

"Good morning Agatha, how'd you sleep" God even his morning voice is sexy damn him

"Uhm good the bed is really comfortable" I reply

He nods "Mmm, come eat, " he says motioning to the kitchen island where he's put a plate of pancake

I moved forward and took a seat, The pancakes looked and smelled delicious and he heaped my plate

"Cade I don't think I can finish this," I tell him, he just passes me the syrup and points to my plate of pancakes "Eat"

And he proceeds to heap his plate too and sit down to eat

I dig in not in the mood to go back and forth about this too, If Rocky were here I'd give him leftovers, "O my God Rocky!! I exclaim

I had completely forgotten about her my poor baby, I'm surprised Claire didn't mention her when we spoke

"Your dog? Cade asks I nod then ask "How'd you know that?

He raises his brow as if to tell me that's a stupid question then I remember he ran a background check on me

I don't still know how I feel about that especially since I know nothing about him

Except that, he's a billionaire and a successful businessman and he has a brother

I try not to dwell on it too much "Can I bring him here? I ask playing with my food and avoiding his eyes

"Look at me Agy" I look up at his commanding tone "Whenever we are having a conversation I want your eyes on me, Do you understand? He demands

I nod my head," words Agatha"

"Yes, yes I understand," I say trying to hold eye contact "Good," he says

The praise washed over me making me flush, My fingers were digging into my thighs trying to control the heat that consumed my body from his words

"You can bring your dog if that will make you more comfortable," he tells me

I nod then realize my mistake "alright thank you"

He nods seeming pleased "Now eat" We continue eating in silence, Cade finishes first and drops his plate in the dishwasher

He left without a word and I released a shaky breath, I was so nervous and shaky around him

Which in my defense is just inevitable, the man looked like he could eat me for breakfast

And not in a way I would want either, urggh What was wrong with me, Was it because I hadn't had sex in years?

But he was so sexy you couldn't blame me for having these thoughts "Bad Agatha very very bad " I say to myself aloud

What am I doing I have to go see Kaylee before the treatments start

I checked my phone it was 7:40 which meant I had an hour and 20 minutes before the treatment process began

I haven't stopped to think about the possibility of this treatment not producing a positive change in Kaylee's health

I didn't want to jinx it, I had to stay positive and be strong for myself and Kaylee

I quickly called Claire to tell her to bring Rocky with her to the hospital

I take a quick shower and wear a yellow dress with spaghetti straps, I pair it with my boots and put my hair in a messy bun

I pack my bag and make my way downstairs

The house is quiet and already tidied up, I wonder who does that, even the dishes from yesterday were cleaned before I woke up this morning

He couldn't possibly be doing that himself right? I mean if he cooks what's stopping him from cleaning

I guess he left for work already, I'm disappointed he didn't even care to say goodbye

But then again we weren't a couple, at least not a real one

I enter the elevator and as it begins to move I feel a wave of vertigo wash over me, I lean against the elevator walls to steady myself

I hate elevators, They were a convenience but my fear of heights didn't let me enjoy them much

I see Bosley immediately after I step out of the elevator

"Good morning Mrs. Blackwell the car is ready for your trip," he says sounding professional as always

"You were calling me Miss Evans yesterday despite me insisting you call me Agatha, and today you're calling Mrs Blackwell?" I raise my brow at him

He bows his head "My sincere apologies ma'am but you're now married to Mr Blackwell therefore you are Mrs Blackwell" he says

I laugh at that "I think that would be Mr. Blackwell's mother and please I'd prefer if you just call me Agatha" I tell him

He doesn't laugh "Very well then, shall we?

I nod following him to the car

He opens the back door for me "You're driving right, is anyone else coming with us? I ask

"No ma'am none that I know of" he replies "Then I'd like to sit at the front," I tell him

"I don't think Mr Blackwell will like that," he says motioning for me to enter the backseat

I slump my shoulders in defeat and enter the car, I was never winning with these men

I arrive at the hospital and go straight to find Nurse Bella

I found her in the pediatrics ward attending to a little boy who looked like he had Down syndrome

"Nurse Bella, hi" she raises her head "Hey Agatha, how are you?

"I'm fine, where's Kaylee? I ask "She's been prepared for her treatments, come I'll take you to her," she says leading the way

We came to a stop at a white door and I could see Kaylee through the glass, She looked so nervous

I just hope the donuts and milkshake will be enough to get her mind off the whole process but even I knew donuts weren't that powerful

I sighed and turned to see Nurse Bella's eyes already on me

"Look I know it's not my place, and I don't know how this happened," she says motioning to my ring

"All I want to know is that you're alright and you'll explain to Kaylee" she continues

I nod "I'm alright and I will explain to Kay," I tell her

She nods pleased and opens the door, A smile appears on Kaylee's face as she sees me

"Agy, you're here, Did you bring my donuts" I roll my eyes at her

"You don't get your donuts until I get a hug," I say teasingly she laughs and sits up straight and I give her a hug

I was trying to hold my emotions and stay positive

"Uhm Agy…can't breathe," Kaylee says tapping my hand

I laugh and release cleaning the stray tear that leaves my eye "Hey don't cry I'll be fine, I'm a strong girl remember"

I release a watery laugh at that, she smiles "Now can I have my donuts, please?

I shake my head and give her the box of donuts "Remember you have to share" I tell her

She nods already occupied with her donuts

"The treatments don't start until 9, You have 30 minutes to hang out before she has to go," Nurse Bella says and leaves

I sigh Here we go again "Kay I have something to tell you," I tell her

"Is it that you're married?
