Bittersweet Gift

Chapter 9

We went to Mr conceited penthouse and everything about it screams him.It was modern,sophisticated and just like a typical high class bachelor pad.What had drawn my attention the most was the kitchen.It was just wow.

Thinking about the kitchen,my stomach grumbled. Please don't tell that Mr Kace heard it.But with the luck that i have guess what.

"What do you want to eat?"Mr Kace asked me.

"Nothing.I am good."i replied.

"That is not what i heard."he retorted while arching his eyebrow.

I then huffed and nervously said

"I...If .....If i eat something,i will end up throwing it out of my stomach."

"Sit here."Mr Kace ordered me while pointing at the stool in front of the kitchen island.

Duh.Here he is again at commanding me.

As i was still standing in the same place,he glared at me challenging me to not disobey me.

Then i gave in and sat on the stool as my feet were hurting.Mr Kace removed his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa in the drawing room.He then rolled up his sleeves up to his elbow and opened two upper button of his dress shirt. Just looking at him makes my mouth water.Oh no it seems that the pregnancy hormones are kicking in.

He began to remove some ingredients and kitchen utensils from the cabinets.

"You know how to cook?"i asked surprisingly.

"Yeah.Why is it so surprising?

"I thought that....that you know"i stammered.

"That i am rich and i do not lift a finger."he continued for me and arch an eyebrow.

I did not know what to say to him so i only nodded.

"There a lot of things that you do not know about me Miss Quinton."

"That is for sure."i replied sarcastically.

After that discussion,we both stayed silent and Mr Kace got to work.

After some minutes Mr Kace placed a bowl of soup in front of me.

"Eat"he said sternly and i internally rolled my eyes. 

I looked at the soup and unwillingly i felt by stomach turn upside down.

Seeing my hesitation Mr Kace sighed and got hold of the bowl and spoon.He then sat next to me.

"Open your mouth."he demanded and out of the blue he forced the spoon in mu mouth and i had no choice that to swallow it.

"Humm.It is really good!"i exclaimed.

"But i do not think that i can hold it for long."

Mr Kace chuckled and did not let me speak again by continuing to feed me.I tried to take the spoon from him but he gave me his signature glare.

After i finished the soup which surprisingly stayed in my stomach, i snatched the bowl from Mr conceited hand and went to wash it.

"What are you doing?"Mr Kace questioned me and immediately got on his feet.

"You cooked.I wash.So shut up and stay where you are."i kind of order him and i did not where all that confidence came from.

Mr Kace was startled but quickly regained his posture.He sat again on the stool and observed me washing the dishes.

When i was done with the dishes i dried my hand and took a serious stance by putting my hands on my hips.

"We really need to talk about what you had done to me."i said to start the festivities.I felt like a scolding mother while saying that.

"So what?It is simple.You just have to carry my heir in you."he replied without any guilt.

"This baby is not only your heir but my child too.I have the same right as you on our baby."

"I never said that i would take your right away."he protested.

"But i am sure you would take it away from me as soon as it is born."

"I won't exactly be taking it away from you.The baby would only be staying with me in my house and you are free to visit anytime you want."he clarified.

"Are you mad!You are not understanding that i am saying to you."i shouted exasperatedly so that i wanted to pull my hair from my head.

"You have no say in it as i remember it is you who signed the contract."

We were then interrupted by the intercom.

"Excuse me Mr Kace but a woman in the lobby is insisting to let her in."

Mr Kace scowled and asked who she is and with the answer of the guard i felt my world crashing.

Your fiance Mr Kace
