The Mansion

Chapter 20

Katsen

"Grey. What are we doing here?"

He dragged me out of the car and pulled me inside the mansion he once said he bought for me. Standing and guarding everywhere are some men in black suits going about with a Bluetooth headset on them.

It got me curious as to why are there so many security men everywhere.

"Stop talking and follow me. I will tell you everything you need to know". Was his reply

We got out of the elevator and walked down the hallway to his bedroom. He shot the door closed after we entered the room. I sat on the bed watching him as he paced the room, his hands running through his hair.

I was too impatient and I couldn't stand his silence anymore so, I broke the silence "Grey. You are scaring me please, talk to me. What is going on?"

He turned to me looking at me for a second. Then, he took off his jacket and undone the first three buttons of his shirt before sitting beside me. And when he spoke. I was shocked to confirm my suspicions were right.

"I ended it with Katelyn. I want you to know that you and I are official now". He said it without looking me in the eyes.

"What? Are you crazy? Why would you do that knowing it will affect your company?". I couldn't believe this.

I got up now very stressed. A few minutes ago Michael just shocked me by telling me that he was getting engaged to someone his parents arranged for him and that he was sorry we could not work.

As if that was not enough problem to deal with. Now, the only man I love with all of me is about to lose the only thing he had worked for all for what? For me? No, I won't let that happen. Never.

I turned and faced him. He was already standing behind me. "No Grey. You can leave Katelyn. It will destroy you. You can't do this to yourself". I held his hands. "What happens to your company? You can't afford to lose it all to her father. You've worked so much to build that company and to lose it to someone else. Please, reconsider your decision". I begged, tears wetting my face.

I didn't know when I hugged him. I was sobbing soaking his shirt with tears from my eyes. He cupped the back of my head hugging me tightly.

"Who told you I would lose my company if I left Katelyn?". He pulled out of the hugging and framed my face with his palm.

"How did you get that information, Kat?". He asked with all seriousness.

I couldn't say anything. He was not supposed to find out about my meeting with Katelyn

"Kat, I asked you a question. Did Kate visit you? You have to tell me if she did because, for your safety, Kate is the last person to be close to you ". He finished

"Ok. I will tell you". I said

"Keep talking ". It came as a command

I took my sit back on the edge of the bed. He joined me immediately and faced me waiting for my reply.

I summon the courage to speak. " Kate was in my office a few minutes before you came. She had called earlier before then. She asked to meet with me"

"And?". He asked impatiently.

"So I told her to come to my office. And when she did. She said she wanted me to share you with her as you were about to end it with her because you love me" I looked him in the eyes as I got emotional

"What else did she tell you?" He urges me to continue.

"Well. She said that if her dad gets to know that you left her for another woman. She said you could lose the company to her father since he had the highest shares in the company. And, she said she wouldn't be happy if that happened to you because she loves you". I finished

Grey turned towards me facing me directly as his hands Framed my face. He put a kiss on the top of my head and he spoke.

"Henceforth, I want you to ignore Kate. She is now in my past. And as for the company. You do not need to worry yourself about it. The company is mine. I love you and that will not change Kat. I also want you to know that you will not share me with any other woman. I am all yours now". I sealed his words with a deep kiss that stole my breath away.

I know I love Grey. But, there are unresolved issues that need to be resolved before I can take the bold step.

If he truly loves me as he claims. He needs to show it. I don't want to feel used or heartbroken again. I need to know what and where this is leading us. So I pulled away from the kiss.

"Grey. There are things I need to tell you. And I know that you have a lot to say also. I think we should do that now". I moved away from him. Although we are still sitting side by side on the edge of the bed.

Grey rested his elbow on his lap and tilted his face to the side to look at me.

"Ok. What do you want to say to me?" He asked.

"I just want you to know that I didn't mean to hurt you by sleeping with Michael. You pushed me to do so and that was after I found out that he had feelings for me". I got down on my knees and I am now right in front of him with my hands planted on his lap for support as I continue

"It was the day Kate came to my house and you kissed her right in front of me and you left with her without saying a word. I was furious. I was so bitter that I needed something to help me get over whatever feelings I had for you. Michael was a good distraction and he has been good to me. He was there when I needed you". I shook my head and exhaled.

I was about to continue but Grey stopped me by putting his finger on my lips to shut me up. He rose to his feet pulling me up with him with his hands resting on my face as he looked deep into my eyes.

"I don't want us to dwell in the past Kat. Instead, let's talk about the future"

"But there is no future without a past Grey. We need to talk about what hurt us in the past to correct the future" I explained.

"I know. And that is what I am doing now. I want to correct all the mistakes I've made to be with you. To be with the only woman my heart aches for. I've spent so long trying to find the right words, but nothing seems enough. So, I'll just say it simply. I love you. I love you more than I've ever loved anyone, and I want to spend the rest of my life showing you just how much". He put a gentle kiss on my lips.

"Let's forget about Kate and Michael and let's focus on us. Please, give us a chance Kat. Let me show you how much I love you and how much you mean to me". He went down on his knees and brought out a small velvet box as he held my hand.

He looked into my eyes and my breath sized for a minute.

"From the very first day, I saw you in your country. I knew there was something about you and I tried to disagree with my heart because it was love at first sight. I knew you were the one for me. Although it took me some years to sort out myself because I had a messed up past I needed to sort it out. Now that all is cleared. I want to take this bold step and I am asking you, Katsen Dashe. Will you do me the honour by marrying me?". He proposed
