Saved by the Billionaire's Love Chapter 25 : A Heated Discussion
**Cat POVAs soon as I hit the water, I held my breath. I started kicking back to the surface. A muffled splash echoed overhead, and someone wrapped their arms around me, pulling me up. When my head broke the surface, I heaved, breathing hard and pushing away from the person that was still holding onto me. "Cat, Cat, are you okay?" Luke's voice asked worriedly. His arms tightened around me. "I'm fine, you can let go of me," I snarled, trying to wiggle away. My movement dragged us both underwater again, and I quickly held my breath. We surfaced once more, and Luke was still holding onto me. "You're going to drown us both," I argued, trying to wriggle away again. "Cat, stop struggling. I'll get us to the dock," he said. "What are you doing? Let me go!" I snapped, swatting at Luke's chest. Finally, he released me and drifted back. "Rescuing you," he said, creasing his brow. "I know how to swim," I argued. I kicked my legs, treading water, and used my

**Cat POVStripping off my wet clothes, I kicked them into a pile in the corner of the bathroom. It was a nice bathroom with white-tiled walls. There was a porcelain clawfoot tub and a stand-up shower with tiled walls and a nice glass door. The shower had a bench and everything. The bathroom also had a marble top vanity with an above-counter sink and a large round mirror. I caught my reflection as the shower water warmed up. My cheeks were still flushed. How stupid was I to stand there and watch Luke taking his shirt off after I'd just yelled at him for being a cheater?Shaking my head, I slipped into the steaming water. I might have been in the tropics, but even warm air against wet clothes and wet skin felt freezing. My skin felt a little tight from the drying salt, so I quickly washed myself off and then took my time to lather up and rinse my hair. Now I was wondering if I'd be able to have an adult conversation with Luke. He always had a way of turning t

**Cat POVMy smile faded, and I set the wine down. Victoria glared at me, her eyes so fierce I thought they might burst into flames. The joy I'd been feeling before evaporated. I looked over at Luke. He didn't seem all that surprised to see Victoria, but he definitely didn't look happy, either. "What are you doing here?" he asked in a cold, clipped tone. I bit my lower lip to keep from smiling. Now that I knew they weren't together, I didn't feel so bad about being happy when Luke was cold about Victoria. Victoria didn't say anything. She sneered at me and went to Luke. Gracefully, she slid into his lap and draped her arm around his neck. Glancing at me, she smirked, and then grabbed Luke's face and kissed him hard and sloppy on the lips. I arched an eyebrow at Luke. He tensed and brought his arm to Victoria's stomach, pushing her away. Victoria pouted as she slid off Luke's lap. Luke straightened his clothes. "My parents aren't around. There's no nee

**Cat POVI could tell that Luke was upset by Jason leaving my cabin early in the morning. We'd just settled one misunderstanding, and I didn't want another one to get in the way. Just as I was heading over to Luke's front door, he came out of the cabin, fully dressed and fresh. He eyed me up and down, taking in my rumpled clothes and messy hair. "Hey, I just wanted to let you know, that stuff with Jason isn't what it looks like," I said, pointing in the direction Jason had walked off. Luke shook his head. "It isn't my business." His voice was cold and hard. "Like, nothing happened," I said quickly. He just waved my explanation away. "We don't have time to discuss personal matters. One of the local architects agreed to a meeting this morning. He'll be working with you on the project.""Oh, is he coming here so I can meet him?" I asked, glad to change the topic to work. "No, we're meeting him at the hotel. I've got a car waiting," Luke said, nodding toward the v

**Cat POV"Oh, my God!" a shrill, feminine scream followed the clatters. "You're here. You're really here!" I recognized Fiona's voice. "I can't believe you're getting married!"Several other women's voices echoed from the lobby out to the beach. I winced when I heard Fiona's friends start to gush over the resort and the wedding plans. "I know it is short notice. I'm really sorry if this was an inconvenience," Fiona said. My stomach rumbled, and I looked down at my empty plate. The delicious breakfast felt like a sour stone weighing me down. "Look at my new ring! Aaron picked it out before we came down here. Isn't it just gorgeous?" Fiona asked. I imagined her holding her hand out with her sparkly diamond engagement ring as all her preppy friends "oohed" and "awwed" over it. "Albert, thank you for this meeting. We've got some last-minute details to take care of before we go to the site tomorrow. Will we see you there?" Luke asked. He stood up and shook Alber

**Cat POV"Is this all too much for you, Cat?" Luke asked me. I wouldn't meet his gaze. My mind was far off, thinking of how my best friend had betrayed me again. "Cat, look at me," Luke urged, squeezing my arms. Slowly, I turned my eyes to his. "I'm tired," I admitted. "Please tell me, is all of this too much? Because if it is, just say the word. I can have you on a flight back home in a few minutes. No questions asked," he offered. For a moment, the offer sounded really appealing. I gave Luke a half smile, grateful that he was looking out for me. Then I shook my head. "No. I can't leave the project. Now that I've met the lead architect. I'll be okay as long as I stay away from the main event.""I wish this wasn't happening while we were here. I know it can't be easy," Luke said apologetically. I shrugged indifferently. "You could have told me this was happening before we met at the airport." Luke bowed his head and nodded. "I know. I should have. Or, when

**Cat POVJason and I drove up and down the coast, seeing the ocean from multiple views, including clifftops. It was absolutely gorgeous.Then he took me to where the locals currently lived. They'd put together a small city for themselves, but many of the buildings were poorly constructed and not adequate shelter against the elements. I could see why they needed an upgrade. "The architecture here is pretty unique," I said, pointing it out to Jason. "Yeah, the locals have a very distinct style. If you want to take notes, you can use these styles for the new development," he suggested. "That's a great idea," I said. I spent so much time looking at the buildings, I hardly noticed the people or the little shops they had set up. "Cat, come on. There is a seafood restaurant right over here. It is the best kept secret on the island and probably the best seafood in all the Caribbean," Jason said, grabbing my arm and tugging me along. "I thought you said you packed lunch," I

**Cat POV"Luke, where's Victoria? Simon wants to talk to her about business," Barbs said, standing up. Luke pursed his lips, but he only spared Barbs a quick glance before looking back at me. "Come on, get ready. We're already going to be late," he said, pointing to his watch. "Late for what?" I asked, creasing my brow. Luke pulled out his phone. "Didn't you get any of my texts?""Um… no." I grabbed my phone from the kitchen and scrolled through my notifications. I didn't have anything from Luke. "When did you send them?""I sent a bunch throughout the day," Luke explained. I shook my head. "I didn't get any. Oh… I was driving around the island, I probably didn't have reception.""Well, we are going somewhere special, so dress like it," Luke said, nodding to my bedroom. My cheeks warmed, and I looked down. He was being more forward than I expected, especially in front of my friend. "I want to talk to Victoria, Luke. Is she over at your Villa?" Barbs asked.
