Slave of a Billionaire

I will treasure it

How should I say it? What should I say? But I have to accept my mistake.

"Do you have something to say or am I looking weird?"he asked me suddenly.
"What?"I asked him confused.
"From the time we sat in the car you have been staring at me."he said and looked at me.

I looked away. I didn't realise that I was staring at him.

"Umm...that..."I hesitated and he looked at me.
"Yes?"he asked.
"Nothing."I said and looked out.
"Caitlin, is there something that you need to say?"he asked again.

What???? Caitlin???? He called me by my name??? He called me Caitlin??? He never calls me by my name. He calls me Miss. Snow or slave, but now he called me Caitlin.

I looked at him shocked.
"You....you called me..by..my...name!!!"I said shocked.
"Yes. So?? We are not in office or home. So, you are not my secretary or slave."he said.

Yes, he has a point. I am just Caitlin here and he is just Ronnie.

"Ronnie...that"I said and he looked at me raising an eyebrow.
"What? You just said you are not my boss or master at present. So, I can call you by your name."I complained.
"Yes yes."he said and chuckled.

"So, what is it that you wanted to say?"he asked me.
"Not say but apologise.  I wanted to apologise for my rudeness that time. I shouldn't have done that."I said looking down.
"It's ok. I didn't mind. You were right that time."he said.
"But..."I was saying but he interrupted me,"Caitlin, I said it's ok."
I nodded.

I feel so relived now that I have apologised to him.

Ronnie's POV :

"Do you need anything, master?"she asked me after we reached home.
"No. You can go to sleep."I said and she went to her room.

I went to my room. I took out her watch from the drawer.
I looked at it carefully. She really has treasured it well.

Flashback :

"Uncle, we both are going to your room. We both have so much to talk to each other. You can stay here with sir as we don't want you to be there."Caitlin said taunting her uncle.
"But, I will feel bad to be left out."Mr. Snow said making an innocent face.
"Awww....uncle."she said hugging him.
He laughed.
"I am so happy that you both are getting along so well."he said smiling.
"Cait, I am taking chips for us. Do you want anything else?"Sophie, Mr. Snow's girlfriend called out from the kitchen.
"No, auntie."she said and looked at her uncle and said,"Ok uncle, I am going."
Mr. Snow nodded and she left.

"Mr. Snow, I wanted to ask you something but I couldn't infront of Miss. Snow."I said and he looked at me.
"Go ahead. You can ask me now."he said.
"This was a family dinner, right?"I said and he nodded.
"Then, why didn't her parents show up for the dinner?"I asked him.

He looked surprised and then said,"I think you don't know about it, her parents died when she was five. I am her father's younger brother."
He looked really hurt. I shouldn't have asked him this question.
"I am sorry."I said feeling bad for asking.

"It's ok. You know, that day it was their marriage anniversary and they went out for dinner. Cait too wanted to go with them and it was really hard that time to convince her to stay with me and let her parents go. When she didn't agree then her father took out his watch and gave it to her and told her to look at the time. She was so so young and that time she didn't knew how to see the time so my brother told her to look at the small and long hands. She kept on looking at the watch saying that she don't want to miss the time. She fell asleep with the watch in her hand."he said looking straight far away remembering the past.

I feel so bad for asking him and making him remember that dreadful day.

"They were coming back when their car met with an accident. My sister-in-law died on the spot and my brother, I met him in the hospital. The last thing he said was to take care of Cait and never let her remember her parents. I promised him that I will take care of Cait no matter what. It was really hard for me to keep her calm as she would ask me every day where her parents are. It took me so much time and courage to convince her. From that day she has never kept the watch away from her. She is really so much attached to that watch."

Then suddenly he looked at me and realised something and then said,"Sorry. I didn't realise that I was saying so much. It's past. Anyways, how is Cait at her work?"

Present :

Now, I can understand why she is so much attached to this watch. I took her life from her and that's why she does everything I tell her to. I shouldn't have taken her watch from her but now that I have it I should treasure it well.

"I promise you Caitlin I will treasure this watch for you till I give it back to you."I said to myself.
I kept the watch back in the drawer.

I couldn't sleep. I keep thinking what Mr. Snow told me. I keep on thinking about Caitlin. She must be devastated when I took the watch away from her. I feel kind of guilty and sad.

I really want this one month to pass quickly so that I can give her watch back to her. How happy she would be to have the watch back with her. I really want to see the happiness that she will get after getting her watch back.

Ronnie and Cait both of them have some feeling in them for one another that is starting to blossom. They both now care about each other's feelings. What does the future have for them? Do you think they will realise their feelings before this one month pass?
