Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

The next morning, when Katherine opened her eyes and looked beside her. She got into the habit of seeing Sam's face first in the morning. she felt bad as Sam was not with her. She completed her brush and personal chores. 

When she came out of her room, she saw Thomas was helping Jasmine with her pregnant exercises. She remembered the lonely days during her pregnancy, especially without Adrian.

" Good morning…" Thomas and Jasmine greeted her.

" Good morning…" She greeted them back. 

" You carry on, I will take care of preparing breakfast…" She informed them and walked into the kitchen.

In half an hour, she prepared breakfast for everyone.. She served it on the dining table. 

Then she prepared coffee for herself. She walked out of the house and sat alone in the garden on the chai. While sipping the coffee, she was thinking about her wedding. She doesn't know how to feel. She was so happy to become the wife of the love of her life. And also feeling sad as the only people in her life are present in the important event of her life. She was missing Martin and Ruby so much.

" Kathie…"

" Where have you lost yourself in thinking? " Thomas asked, walking towards her.

" Nothing…" she lied.

" Is Martin coming by this afternoon? we have to start by afternoon" he inquired.

" No. I didn't say anything about it. I don't want to disturb him as he got a good opportunity for publishing his book. He sacrificed so much for me and Sam. " she explained.

" What about the other girl who is staying with you? Is her name Ruby? " Thomas asked her.

" Yeah...she went on a business trip with her boss. I don't know whether to inform her or not. What if her boss allows her to come here? " she reasoned.

" Until you try, how can you know?" Thomas questioned her.

" Call her and ask to come by tmrw morning, " he suggested.

She nodded and immediately made a call to Ruby with hesitation. Thomas was sitting beside her.

After a long ring, Ruby attended the call. From that Steven and Ruby were sleeping on the same bed. He was not allowing her to sleep alone because of her bad dreams.

Still, her head was on Steven's chest. She attended the call in a sleepy voice.

Katherine:

" Good morning, Ruby. Do I disturb you?"

Ruby rubbed her eyes and sat o

Ruby: No. I was a little bit tired. That's all.

Katherine: When are you coming?

Ruby: After two days.

Katherine: I called you to inform you about….my wedding.

Ruby: What!!! Wedding!! 

All at once, she sat on the bed, coming out of Steven's arms. Instantly, Steven opened his eyes and looked at Ruby's face.

" What happened? Is everything okay?" Steven mumbled slowly not to hear his voice on the other side of the call.

She signaled Steven to stay quiet and turned on the speaker of her phone.

Ruby: Kathie...Are you serious? Are you getting married? With whom? What about Sam? ( she was shooting questions non-stop)

Katherine: Yes. I am serious. I am getting married to Sam's dad. And the wedding is going to happen tomorrow at 10 in the morning.

Ruby: How can you marry without my presence? Do you forget me after meeting your love? ( she yelled over the call)

Katherine: I am so sorry. It was so sudden. Please understand and ask your boss to send you here.

She looked at Steven with pleading eyes. 

Ruby: Okay. I will ask him. Don't worry. 

Katherine: Shall I ask him directly?

Ruby: It's okay. I will manage.

Katherine: I will wait for you then. Bye.

As soon as Katherine disconnected the call, Steven pulled her onto his chest placing his hands around her stomach. 

" Tell me, how will you manage me? Huh?" He asked, placing his chin at the crook of her neck from behind.

" Did you forget? We planned to visit another place?" He asked her.

" But attending her wedding is more important to me? " she replied.

" If it is so important then you have to compensate for it…" he said.

" What compensation? How ?" She asked, turning towards him still in his arms.

" 50 kisses only.." he said.

Before she escaped from him, she claimed her lips while locking in his cage. She could not stop him as he was giving a dominating kiss. Slowly she started enjoying his kisses.

...

In the afternoon, Katherine went to the lake view resort along with Thomas and Jasmine whereas Adrian, Maria, and little Sam started in their car. It took them three hours to reach the place. 

As soon as they reached, she walked into the resort. She met Maria and asked about her son.

" Sam is in Adrian's room " She replied and told her where the room was.

She hurriedly walked to the room where Adrian was staying. Without knocking on the door, she entered inside in anxiety to see her son.

With the door opening sound, Adrian who was supposed to go bath into the bathroom came out as little Sam was sleeping. 

He noticed Katherine sitting on the edge of the bed and bent towards sleeping Sam to kiss. 

" What are you doing here? " He asked her.

" To see Sam…" she replied, turning her head. Then she noticed him with a white towel hanging down from his waist. He was half-naked.

Instantly she lowered her eyes and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. 

" Sorry...I didn't know that you were going for a bath. I will leave now…" she said, still lowering her head.

He observed her red cheeks and smirked inside. He felt proud that still, he had so much effect on her.

She stood up from the bed to leave the room. All of the sudden, he held her wrist and twirled her. Her body collided with his hard chest.

She didn't dare to look at his face. She was breathing heavily with proximity. He leaned closer and tugged the strands of her hair. She was feeling heaven with his touch. Suddenly her eyes caught something and she stepped back.
