Chapter 45
"There you are, son." His mother called after him when she sighted him in the passage. "I have been looking everywhere for you, where have you been?" Without letting him speak she cut him off. "Anyway, forget that. You didn't tell me you were bringing another female guest, especially the one you know I don't like." She muttered the last part to him
"Female guests?" While he was trying to remember who the female guest might be Kendal's voice rang through the passageway interrupting his thought.
"Baby!" She squealed, "You kept me waiting." Kendal ran to him excitedly to embrace him. "I missed you so much."
Naomi frowned at the sight before her
From the moment Kendal stepped into the house asking for her son Naomi has been frowning.
When she saw Catherine she was so happy thinking her son had finally gotten rid of this wench called Kendal. Her whole mood became sour just by looking at her.
Unable to bear her presence anymore, she turned to take her leave, abandoning her son to deal with his baggage.
"What are you doing here?" Adam pulled her out of his embrace.
"What do you mean babe?" She frowned. "Are you not happy to see me?"
"No!" He shoved her out of his way before trying to walk past her.
Angry at Adam's rude behavior Kendal blocked his way by stepping in front of him. "Listen to me Adam, I will not tolerate this."
Running his hand through his hair, Adam sighed at the mess he has found himself in. On one hand, he walked out on Catherine rudely, and on the other hand Kendal is here to ruin his peace.
"Tell me, who gave you permission to come here?"
"Oh baby," she ran a finger down his chest. "I don't need permission to come see my baby."
"I am not your baby!" He snapped. "Get out of my way!"
"I left everything behind and came here and this is the treatment you choose to give me?" She looked at him in disbelief.
"Tell me something, who told you I was here in the first place?" Adam intends to sack the person responsible for this.
"I went to see you in your office, but found it empty then I figured it out myself. This is the only place I know you like coming to in a hurry."
"And you decided to come here?" He looked at her in disbelief.
"You left me no choice Adam." She sobs. "You were ignoring my calls, what do you have me do? I can't leave you, especially not now."
"Not now, what do you even mean by that? You know what, get out of my way." He ordered, still trying to remain calm. "Kendal get outta my way before I push you away!"
"No!" Her voice matched his as hot tears continued running down her eyes. "What have I ever done to you to be treated this way?"
"It seems you have lost your mind." Grabbing her by the hand, Adam pulled her along with him.
"Let me go! Where are you taking me to?"
"Out of my house, you need to leave now you still have some little sense left."
"I said no!" She yanked her hand off.
CATHERINE POV
In her room, after unpacking and showering. She decided to rest only to hear noise coming from outside her room. Taking her knee length robe, Catherine tied it around her body, securing it firmly before going out to check what the noise was all about.
The sight she saw made her inside twist inside out. At the time she stepped out of her room, Kendal already had her hand tightly around Adam's neck possessively.
"What!" She wanted to scream. Although their whole relationship is nothing but a sham, Catherine felt Adam should at least show some respect for his family, not even her at least.
"Have you no shame?" She screamed angrily at Adam stopping him when he was about to yank Kendal's hand off his neck for the third time.
"Who are you?" Kendal scanned Catherine's appearance before returning her gaze to her face. But still didn't recognize who she was.
Kendal has always kept tabs on the women Adam spends his time with. She even has screenshots of all his women both past and present. But she hasn't seen Catherine's picture yet.
"I said who are you? Are you deaf or what?"
Catherine stood without saying a word and Adam responded in her place.
"And who are you to ask her such stupid question? Or have you forgotten your place? Now come with and get out." Adam grabbed her hand but this time more firmly.
"Adam let me go, stop! I said let me go."
"Why?" He asked, still dragging her roughly."
"Because I am expecting your child!" The shocking news stopped him in his tracks as he looked at her with eyes wide open and jaw dropped. It felt like his heart stopped beating
"What?"
"Yes Adam, I am pregnant." He didn't know when he released her hand.
Catherine staggered backwards feeling defeated. Her energy drained as she looked at Adam in shock.
"You are lying." Adam grabbed her arm, shoving her back and forth. "You are lying, tell me the truth now!"
"Why will I lie? I am pregnant Adam and you are the father."
