KATHERINE'S POV.

Standing in front of us in all his glory was Caspian looking like a Greek god. One of his hands buried in his pantsuit pocket.

Caspian looked at his younger sister as he was expecting an answer.

"C-Caspian..- i-i-i. S-she-" Natalie stammered looking uncomfortable under her brother's penetrating gaze.

"Caspian.Dear." Elizabeth intervened. "I wasn't expecting to see you here"

"Really?" Caspian moved towards us, as he let out a sacarstic smirk.

"You invited my wife to your lunch party. You don't expect I'll let her be alone will you?"

Caspian moved towards me before bending a little and pressing a kiss to my fore head. My face went up in flames.

"Who knew that your wife coming to the lunch party is what would finally get you to come." Selena smiled.

"Hmm. We're leaving." He said as he help me up.

"Already? I'm enjoying your wife company, Caspian. She's a part of this family." Elizabeth said refusing to let me go so early.

A part of me was bummed that I wouldn't be able to spend more time with Elizabeth and Bianca and another part of me was grateful that Caspian came just in time.

"She's also my wife and I need her company, mother."

"Caspian is right Beth." Victor came Forward. "They are newlyweds and should definitely spend more time together."

"You just got here Cousin. And besides, I really like Kathy now and I know we'll become best friends." Bianca stood up the stop Caspian and I from leaving.

For some reason I think Bianca is right. Although she was rich and was definately spoilt rotten, I could weirdly see us being best friends.

"We are leaving." Caspian said with finality in his tone, meaning that it wasn't up for discussion.

"Today was lovely Elizabeth. Thank you."

"For me as well darling. We'll see again very soon." She returned with a smile.

Caspian had his arms around me as he guided me away but he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked towards Natalie.

"I'm surprised that my sister wants me dead soon."

"W-What?" Natalie blinked in bewilderment.

Yeah, What?!!

"If She won't remain my wife for long, then it means I don't exist for long. She's mine for as long as I exist."

"W-What?"

WHAT!!!! OH MY GOD! DID HE JUST FUCKING SAY THAT?!!!!!

**********

"Why didn't you call me?"

The question pulled me out of my thoughts, I turned to look at Caspian, to understand what he was referring to.

"What?"

"You didn't tell me about the lunch party."

I almost let out a scoff. Can this man be any more controlling?

"I didn't think I needed to. Besides I knew that your men in black were going to tell you exactly where I was."

"Never go to the Monte Estate without telling me. Ever." He sternly ordered.

"You shouldn't have said that." I said digressing from the current discussion to what was bothering me.

"Natalie is right. I won't be your wife for long. This is temporary."

I felt a hand on my arm pulling me into a warm body. Caspian's arm was around me and I was pressed into him.
His grey eyes held a brewing storm and his jaw were tensed from the way he was clenching them so hard.

He tilted my head to look at him.

"Who do you think I am Katherine Montgomery? I don't let things that belongs to me go. Ever. You are my wife and the mother of my unborn kids. I intend to let it stay that way."

"This wasn't what I wanted. I don't want to be in a marriage because I'm scared that a stranger would take my babies away from me."

"Then tell me what you want."

"I-i-i-..."

"And don't you think it's a little late to be saying this now after you staked your claim on me in front of everyone?" He interrupted me with a sly proud grin on his face.

"W-W... I-i-i had to protect myself too. I won't let your ex-wife humiliate me." I tried to turn my face away from him but he held it in place.

"I am not a stranger Katherine. I am your husband."

"Because you threatened to take my kids away from me."

I could see his jaw clench in frustration and feel his grip on my waist tighten.

"You said it yourself Caspian. You don't love but I do. You just want a wife you can control. I want the love of my life and I don't want me having kids to get in the way of that."

"You are mine Katherine. For as long as we both exist."  And we that, he let go of me and settled in his part of the car leaving me with my thoughts.

I couldn't wait to get home now, could I even call his enormous mansion my home.

This is it.
