Chloe's POV

I'd missed Caesar so much. It got to a point where his post it cards were not doing it for me. He usually left a card, with a note on it telling me to have a nice day, enjoy to the fullest, he'll miss me through out the day bla bla bla...

It was our third day in Naples and I think I'd felt it all, the fun, the rush, new experiences, heck I even knew how to swim like a pro. Perks of having Cherry Blossom Banley as your best friend. Yes, Cherry's middle name is Blossom, even I didn't wrap my head around it the first time I saw it on her school transcripts.

I decided I'll have to wait for Caesar even if he'll come past midnight. God knows how I'd longed to see that man. It was around 9:30 p.m when we got back to the hotel room, Cherry decided to watch this series we'd started to watch together sometime back, 'Valeria'. Let me tell you that I really wanted to watch that movie too as I waited for Caesar, except along the way, something like 20 minutes into it, I was already sweating. My body was on fire and the only person who could cool this blazing skin was Caesar.

I excused myself telling Cherry that I really was tired and I needed a good slumber without interruptions. She only made a knowing face brushing me off and going back to watching. She was totally hooked into it. I couldn't watch that Valeria with a straight mind though, it was torturing honestly.

I got to our room, took a quick shower and then started trying the three Monroe sets of lingerie Tracy had forced me to bring along. Oh Christ, I was now wearing this red-black lingerie set with garter belt strips. I've never felt like a tart yet so sexy in my life before.

I moved closer to the glass walls to look for any sign of Caesar and to my surprise, there he was! Unlike the past two days where my hopes got crushed, that day was my day. He was talking to someone who I couldn't quite see and his back was to me but I'll know that man even in darkness. I immediately went back to the closet and picked a bathrobe, wrapping quickly around my body as I dragged sandals with me, running down the stairs to meet him.

I was already by the lobby when I noticed the person he was talking to was a lady. A beautiful redheaded woman I might add. Gorgeous might be an understatement, her fashion sense was something I couldn't even begin to talk about.

The lady was flashing her phone on Caesar's face, and Caesar's back tensed when he saw whatever was in that phone.

The lady tucked the phone in her clutch as I opened the lobby door stepping into the Naples' night breeze. I was almost going to take three steps to get to them when the lady's sweet voice cut through the night air,

"Caesar you can meet your daughter anytime you're ready." Holy pineapples! What in the actual hell!I felt my senses leaving me and my legs were almost giving out on me but wait, I might be overreacting.

Caesar's back was still to me and I couldn't see his facials except the lady's which were illuminated by the chandeliers outside the hotel and lamp posts everywhere. She had a sweet pantie dropping voice really. To my surprise, she moved much closer to Caesar and then even more close, finally closing the gap between them and hugged him tightly I might say, too tight for my liking. She then moved her lips so swiftly to Caesar's ears and whispered something in his ears smiling. She then moved those said lips and now they were motherfreaking kissing Jesus Christ oh so help my legs. The kiss wasn't long as she withdrew and said this time in an audible still sickeningly sweet voice, "See you and goodnight babey."

She said the name baby in that honey mustard voice and that was it for me. My heart clenched and I got this nauseating feeling that was so strange and all new. It was a feeling I'll never wish on anyone. As if that wasn't enough, Caesar's thick voice that I've come to like came out making my heart clench even more,

"Goodnight Natalie." It was his sweet voice. Not the one he uses on his employees, no. It was the one he uses when he's with us at home. And then the Natalie said out bitch smiled at him and walked towards the lobby door I was standing at. I got to see how beautiful she was up close and got a whiff of her expensive perfume. She just saw me as an ordinary girl and passed by me after letting out a small excuse me, making me move aside with my jello legs.

Caesar on the other hand let out a long dreamy sigh after taking in a sharp inhale, her hands running down his face before he turned around and our faces met.

His eyes bulged out as the name Marvelous left his lips. This time that name didn't gave me goosebumps and butterflies or it didn't make my insides feel like turning into mush or even make me feel like my legs were turning into a puddle of goo. It only felt bitter as it had came out shortly after the name Natalie.

And he took two steps towards me as I raised a finger up to stop him from closing the space between us. "Don't!" I let out in a distastefully alarming voice which made Caesar's eyes bulge out even more.

"Oh my God, Marvelous! How long have you been there?" He was quite taken back. And I wished to slap him twice thrice to wipe that shock off his face.

"Long enough to hear everything." I replied this time gaining a newfound confidence from I don't know where.

"I swear it's not what you think, I'll explain baby." He looked so desperate begging and I almost believed him if not for my senses which were so alert. "I was going to tell you all this, I just learnt all about it today! Besides, I was young back then and I didn't know what I was doing!" The words ran out of his mouth so fast I almost missed them but my body senses were now alert. Including the hearing senses. Except the hurt I was feeling was heightening ...it was getting intense as he kept talking.

"If you want we'll go meet Anley together tomorrow or any day you want. She's almost six now and---"

"Shut up! Just stop talking Caesar! For once!" God I yelled. It was the most booming yell I've ever let out and let me tell you it even shocked Caesar making him shook in fear. Billionaire in fear and shock, talk about that.

Wait, let me process it first. He's aware of this baby. He even knows the name. He wants me to meet her daughter. The baby he has never mentioned before the whole time we've been together. And I just gave myself to him, just recently and now I want to regret it...wait. He has never even told me he loved me once, it was always one sided. He had his reasons...and these are the reasons. He had Natalie in his life. God knows the long business trips he's been going weren't even trips. Oh my God! You were so stupid Chloe!
