Chapter 5

Tristian's POV

I woke up the following morning with the sound of water in the distance. I sat up in bed and realized I wasn't in my bed and I was undressed under the sheets. 

My mind wandered back to what transpired between Kayla and I yesterday night and I smiled to myself, knowing I have her all for myself now. 

I was still smiling when she stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her chest. "Good morning, Tristian." She said gently and I stepped out of bed with the sheets around me, before kissing her cheeks. 

"Morning, Star." I replied and she blushed gently. 

"I have to prepare Liam for school. He will be awake any minute and he shouldn't see you in here or he will tease me till the end of this year." She said and I chuckled before nodding. 

I stepped into the bathroom and took a quick bath, with her still running through my mind. I now know my body refused to forget her feel and no other woman makes me aroused as much as she does. I won't stop till I make her completely mine, and there is no way anyone will look down on her, now that she has my heir. 

As I stepped out of the bathroom, I saw my clothes neatly washed, ironed and folded on her already made bed and I slipped it on. As soon as I stepped out of the room, I ran straight into Liam who looked at me with his mouth agape.

"Oh my goodness. Did you two sleep together in the same room?" He screamed as he looked down the stairs to his mum who was in the kitchen. 

"Of course not. I just asked him to bring me something from my room." Kayla replied and Liam squealed. 

"That is a big fat lie. Uncle Tristian, are you going to be my mum's boyfriend?" Liam asked and Kayla screamed. 

"Who taught you these words, young man? I should have a word with your teacher." Kayla frowned. 

"I can read and write more fluently than most ten years old, momma. You know you have a smart son." Liam said with pride and I couldn't help but laugh. With the smarts and looks, he truly is my son. 

I lifted him in my arms as I walked down the stairs. "Do you want me to be your momma's boyfriend?" I asked and he he looked at Kayla, raising his brows teasingly. 

"Should I ask her on a date for you?" He said and Kayla sighed. 

"You asked me out on a date yesterday, Liam." Kayla said.

"That was dinner with my newly found friend, Uncle Tristian, not the uncle Tristian that clearly slept in the same room with you." Liam replied. "Ohhh my goodness, did the two of you sleep together on the same bed?" 

"LIAM!" Kayla scolded and Liam pouted as he wrapped his arms around my neck. "Get down this instant and go prepare for school." 

"Yes momma." He said obediently as he slipped out of my arms. 

"Will you like a ride to his school?" I asked and she shook her head negatively. 

"I'll be heading to a meeting after that and I don't want to disturb you. I know you also have a lot in your hands right now." She said with a small smile and I nodded, respecting her decision before I kissed her forehead gently.

"Will see you later, okay?" I said and she hummed before I walked out of the apartment. I dipped my hands inside my pocket and removed my phone, looking at the a hundred plus missed calls I had on it. 

I knew it was none other than my mother. I just ignored it and drove to one of the biggest estates in New York City where my mansion was. 

"Welcome home sir." The guards bowed and I waved gently before stepping into the living room where I found my mother sitting, looking furious. I let out a sigh, not expecting her to come over to New York because I didn't answer her calls. 

"Good morning mother…"

"Where in New York have you been, Tristian? Didn't you see my missed calls or were you intentionally ignoring them?" She started and I sat on a single sofa, looking up at her. 

"What do you want, mother?" I asked gently.

"So I can't come over to see my son again? When did you start to grow wings and become prideful?" She asked and I rubbed my nose bridge with a sigh. "Those women you've been around with has given you the guts to come and speak to me anyhow you like?"

"Mother, I am not sleeping around. I have been busy with my company and you know that because you and father will be the first to call me irresponsible if anything happens, which it never does and still you find a way to call me irresponsible." I snapped and she gasped. 

"Is this you who he wants to leave the family business to?" She asked and I rolled my eyes. 

"I am a self made multi billionaire, mother. Your family business contributed nothing to my wealth." I replied and she was speechless.

"Anyways, you are still my son and you will listen to whatever I tell you. Your father and I have been telling you to choose a woman and bring her home to make an heir since you don't want any of his business partners. You have to choose one sooner or later, Tristian." She said and I just stared at her. "That is why I brought a woman over for you. If you can't find one yourself, no complaints about this one."

As she finished her words, a blonde walked down the stairs looking at me with a small smile. "Tristian, you've grown so much…"

"Ciara?" I looked at her in shock and then anger surged through me. She had the guts to stand before me after clearly stabbing me in the back. 

"Get her out of my house this instant."
