certain nightmare unfolding before her eyes and before things could get out of hand Candasee knew she had to do something, but Darius spoke first.
“ Good I am glad that we see eye to eye on the matter.
Darius then returned his gaze to his ex-wife, “ Candasee, I really enjoyed having breakfast with you! I will have the room service come to clear everything away. I will also have your bag sent back down to your room. Oh, I see you brought it down yourself already,” he said, noting it was near the door to the bedroom.
Darius leaned in a kissed her briefly on the cheek before making his exit from the room. He knew the display was a little over the top considering her boss slash boyfriend was standing right there but he decided to pretend he only knew him as what Candasee introduced him as, her boss. He only had eight days to communicate a very strong message to this man and to Candasee. He wanted his wife back and the sooner Nathan got the message the better!
Chapter 5
When Darius left the room, Candasee felt a chill creep up her arms and she shuddered as she finally raised her eyes to meet Nathan’s. He was very hurt and she could see that really clearly in the way he was looking at her. It was only forty-eight hours since they were engaged and she already had to explain why her bags were in Darius’ room and why they were having such an intimate breakfast together in the hotel room she refused to share with him.
“Candasee, I know you probably think that I have no right to ask you this, but am I being played the fool here?” Nathan asked bitterly.
“Nathan, it’s not like you think! Nothing happened between us!” responded Candasee defensively placing her hand on his arm. “He said he wanted to talk to me and that is all we did.” Candasee groaned inwardly hating the fact that she was being forced to defend herself.
“So why did he mention your bags were in his room? It surely did not take you very long to reacquaint yourselves with each other! Did you sleep with him too?” he accused walking away from her angrily shrugging out of her grip.
“Nathan, nothing happened between us. I only went up there to ask him to leave me alone after he sent me flowers last night and I was so angry and tired that I ended up crashing. I guess I was more exhausted than I realized. It was a mistake, I wasn’t thinking clearly.”
Spying a card on the floor near her feet and the spectacular spray of roses on the entertainment centre he picked it up and read the note and laughed. Candasee’s story was becoming more and more unbelievable and it was reminding him of a similar betrayal his youngest brother Lawrence suffered at the actions of Asania Hewitt, his former classical ballet instructor. She’d led on Lawrence for over eight months and then suddenly got married to someone else whose fiancée was in her ballet class. His brother was heartbroken and almost suicidal and he’d blamed himself for not seeing that his own employee was so untrustworthy. Ever since then Lawrence had deep issues with trust that he was seeing a therapist to resolve. Seeing his brother’s pain made him so careful with women until Candasee. He’d thrown caution to the wind because he was sure he’d found the one.
“ Candasee, ‘ Welcome Home’ is written on this card and you expect me to really believe that nothing is going on between you two. I mean, you spend one night on Derrien Island and he’s already sending you red roses, you’re sleeping over and having an intimate morning breakfast together? Did you forget that we had plans this morning? And is that all I am to you, your boss?” he exclaimed incredulously as his voice rose to a hoarse shout.
“Nathan, of course you’re more than that to me!”
“I don’t know about you Candasee , but when you accepted my proposal, the word boss went through the window. You are my partner now, my fiancée !”
Candasee squeezed her eyes tight and exhaled forcefully. “ I know
