Arranged Marriage to Mr.CEO

Chapter 12

I woke up to the morning light. If anything, I hated the mornings and light with such a passion. I slightly opened my eyes and I saw my mom and my brother.

"Good morning sweetie!" my mom said.

"Good morning Kaitlyn," my brother said.

"Good morning," I smiled.

"How did you sleep last night?"

I though about last night and I thought about Jake. I fell asleep with the thought of him complimenting me and I woke up thinking about him as well. I scanned the room and I noticed that Jake wasn't here.

"Good thank you, Um.. where did jake go?"

"Oh yeah! he had to go to Italy for an important business meeting. He'll be back tomorrow. He stayed with you last night, he stayed with you since you arrived to the hospital. He didn't want to leave, he told us to go home and that he would stay. What a sweetheart, he didn't move from that chair until this morning when he had to go," my mom smiled.

I slightly smiled back in reply. I looked at my brother and he looked furious like Jake did yesterday. I know my brother and something was really bugging him.

"Garrett, what's wrong?"

"You know, I talked to Jake this morning before he left and we were talking about that bastard you once called your boyfriend," he said with clenched teeth.

I looked down and he noticed my sudden expression turned from a smile to a sad frown. My eyes began to tear up again. My mom noticed and hugged me tightly, while my brother came up to me and go down on his nee's holding my hands and rubbing them.

"I promise you that he will rot in jail for the rest of his life. We won't let him get away with it, that stupid bastard will pay for what he did to you. Me and Jake will handle him from here on. We're going to go see him tomorrow when Jake returns and I swear, we won't leave that place until he can't no longer feel his face. Jake and I are not gonna let him get away with the satisfaction of what he did to you. I'm sorry I couldn't prevent that from happening. I should've given you a drive home. I'm so stupid for letting you go on your own. Sorry I couldn't protect you, It's all my fault Kaitlyn."

"Never ever ever say that. I was nobody's fault. Don't blame yourself for something like that. Please it hurts me to know that you think that way."

I thought about how in the past few days, I felt like somebody was stalking me, though I haven't mention it to anyone yet.

Jake nodded and kissed my hands. "I love you little sister. I promise you I'll never ever let that happen to you again.

"I love you too brother," I kissed his forehead. My mom kissed my forehead and I whipped her tears away. Suddenly, my dad walked in the room with the doctor by his side. "Good news everyone! Kaitlyn, you'll be released today," the doctor smiled.

"Thank you DOC my little girl needs to go home and rest," he smiled.

I smiled back in reply.

"Honey, i brought you some clothes. You can change now if you want."

"Thanks mom." I got up and leaned against my brothers shoulder. My legs her still in major pain. It was a little hard for me to walk because every movement I made, the pain got worse.

"Mom, Dad, I need one of you to sign here please and here is the prescribed pain killers she needs to take."

"yes, okay Thank you."

After all the paperwork was signed, We left the hospital for good. I also found out that Jake had payed the bills for everything. The thought of Jake and how sweet he's been with me really made me smile. Last night, when the couple told us that we made a really cute couple. The fact that Jake told them he was the luckiest man because he had me. Also, when we were in the restroom, where he was cupping my face and holding me in his embrace. How we had a staring moment and our bodies were so close. Everything was spinning around my head. the worst thing about this all was that he was just pretending. It wasn't real. I was looking out of the window and saw the rain pouring in. The lightning which was soothing yet scary. I turned to face my brother and he was on the phone. I turned to look t my parents and they were talking. I guess it's just me and my lonely confusing thoughts.

(Jake's POV)

Everything about that Nick bastard didn't make sense. I hate it that guys try to take advantage of women that way. Why would he chose her? Who was he? and why was he saying that she was and will always be his? Never, I'll never let that happen. Crazy psycho. I believe that women are stronger than men, the only difference is that they are sculpted smaller. Size and the shape doesn't matter, women are and will always be stronger than men in so many different levels. Men just don't respect that sometimes and that annoys the shit out of me. I stayed there thinking about her and what had happened this morning when she woke me up because she had to pee. I smiled at the thought. I just can't believe I was the one chosen to marry her. I thought to myself. I meant everything I said about her in the restroom and to the couple. The fact that I touched her bare soft face and had my arms wrapped around her made me feel some type of way. When we stayed there just staring at each other. We locked gazes and I really wanted to lean in and kiss lose red bid plumpy lips of hers. Her eyes, her big brown bold eyes. Everything about her. I don't know ho to explain it, I don't know how to put it into words.

"Mr.Jake, the plane will be landing in a short while," my secretary told me, making me break out of my thoughts. I got annoyed by her flirtatious actions. I don't know why she's still working for me. I would fire her but she needs the money so I'll just let it slide. She still does her work perfectly fine but that doesn't change the fact that she actually thinks she has a chance with me. Why does every women think that?

I nodded back In reply.

"Sara, can you please stop with all the flirting? Look your a good women and one day you'll meet the man of your dreams. I want you to keep the job but you have to quit the flirting especially now that i'm engaged," I coldly told her.

She faked a smile and nodded.

Yes, I'm engaged and i'm engaged to Kaitlyn Johnson, soon to be Mrs.landis. Hmmm, doesn't sound half bad I mumbled to myself.

Well I think I like it.

I snapped back into reality when I felt my phone vibrating. I looked at the caller ID number and it labeled a number that i've seen before but I can't remember where.

"Hello?"

"Jake, Hi. It's Jessica."

Before I could end the call she pleaded for me to stay on the other line.

"I heard your coming to Italy and it's a coincidence that I'm here too. i wanted to invite you for a cup of coffee. Please before you reject my offer, I just want to be friends. Meet me at the caffe shop near 8th street," she said with a smirk. I can't see her but I know that tone she uses every time she smirks.

"fine"

After replying, I ended the phone call.

I know I'll end up regretting this I thought to myself.
