Bittersweet Gift

Chapter 10

Fiance..... fiance..... fiance

That word resonated in my head.Mr Kace is nothing to me but i do not know why i felt like needles being inserted in my heart.

Now that his fiance is in the picture how could i deal with all that.I just hope that i do not have an angry and jealous fiance on my back now.

Wait!If Mr Kace has a fiance why did he get me pregnant.This is confusing and i think it is one of his plans again that pop up from his eccentric mind.

Before i could give him a piece of my mind he strictly scolded the security guard through the intercom.

"That vile woman is not my fiance and how many times do i have to tell that i do not have a finance.Do not let that woman even enter the lobby and tell her to stop harassing me or i will lodge a restraining order against her.Was that clear enough?"

And i thought that he ordering me was quite powerful but that was more than intense.

If the guard was in front of Mr Kace he would took to his heels just under his furious glare.

Mr Kace exhaled heavily and sat down on the couch.When i looked closer at him,i noticed how exhausted he was by the dark circles under his eyes and the wrinkles on his forehead which i wanted to uncrease. I somehow feel pity for him.

"I am sorry about that.Let's get back to business."he finally said and i nodded.I preferred to not say anything about what had happened earlier.

"You are the mother of my child Claire and i would never separate you from our child."He said softly which i have never imagined such a side of him.He himself looks like a fragile child and so vulnerable.

"But the only condition that i would impose on you is that my heir stays with me in front of my eyes."

I sat down next to Mr Kace and took a moment to think about it.If Mr Kace kept his word,i would still be able to see my child but it would not be the same as living with it.Mr Kace is unpredictable and i think for now i should accept his condition but when the baby is born i would try to negotiate with him again.I am not going to back down that is for sure.

I turn myself towards Mr Kace and looked at him.

"I still did not forgive you about what you have done to me.But if you keep your promise we can come to an agreement."i said to him.

Mr Kace then nodded and move his head to stare at me.

"What?'

"Nothing.It is just...Nevermind."he said nervously.

"So if everything has been cleared can i go home now?"i asked him.

"Yeah.Wait i will drop you off and no arguing with me."he ordered again making me roll my eyes.

We then took off to my apartment.

"I have rarely seen you driving."i started a conversation as the atmosphere was too dense in the car after that conversation which was making me feel uneasy or it may be the soup.

"I do not really have time.When my chauffeur drives me around,i can have time to relax a little bit which in my hectic life free time is a luxury."he replied.

When we arrived at our destination,i got off from his car and what surprised me that Mr Kace was  actually accompanying me to the door of my apartment.

"What are you doing?"i asked him and the latter gave me an are you serious face so i just shut up.

Opening my door i invited him inside.Like the typical Mr Kace i know,he scrutinised everything.

"Thank you for the soup and everything."i thanked him showing my gratitude.

"It's Ok. uh...Claire would you come back to work?"he said me uncertainly.

"Can i?"i asked while my eyes widen by his request.

"Of course.You deserve your job."

"Then i will see you Monday."i replied enthusiastically and smiled at him.

Out of the blue Mr Kace kissed my cheek and i felt all the blood flowing in my face.Then he left just like that leaving me all flushed.

What are you doing to me Mr Ezra Kace. You sure is a man full of surprises.
