YOU ARE IT FOR ME

CHAPTER TWENTY - EIGHT

Donovan P.O.V

The last thing she said made me stare at her in annoyance and I grabbed her arms again.

Tell me, what did you mean by I should watch my back? what is Fiona planning? I asked her in anger.

Let go Donovan I have told you all that I know.

It is not enough, you know more than you are telling me I yelled, if you or Fiona lay even one finger on Stacey I will end you both. She stared at me in shock as we both glared at each other.

I let her go as I didn't want to man handle her cause of her condition which is why I am trying to hold back and spare her for now, but I still need more information in order to stop all these nonsense once and for all.

Catherine quietly sat down on the couch and stared at me with tears in her eyes as I equally stared back at her with my arms folded across my chest waiting for her to divulge whatever it is that she is hiding from me.

I don't have all day Catherine, speak I say.

She sniffled before roughly wiping the tears from her eyes.

I am not your enemy D, yes I accept that I tried to use you for my own selfish interest for which right now I am realising my mistakes and foolishness, I shouldn't have lied to you but I was blinded by love.

She continued to wipe at her eyes as I stared coldly at her. Save me the sob story and go straight to the point Catherine I say to her without emotions. She looked at me in shock with tears running down her face as she smiled sadly at me before nodding her head.

The last thing I wanted to do right now was to fall for any of her fake tears, she knew exactly what she was doing when she lied to my face and that I cannot forgive her for.

That day we met at the restuarant, Fiona had recorded every of our conversations and immediately you left she approached me and asked me to stay away from you and when I refused she played the recorder with which all our conversations were being recorded and she blackmailed me to leave you or she will forward my lies to the media. She had been unto us for a while and she also got to know about you and Stacey. Till now I don't know how she got to know that we will be at that restuarant that day, it's like she knows every of our movements and was already prepared with her plans.

Catherine sighed before she continued, I am sure she sent someone to threathen your girlfriend and to scare her away from you. She still wants you D, she said she will do anything to have you back and if she can't have you then no woman will.

I felt a chill run down my spine after hearing what Catherine said, but I didn't let any of my emotions show on my face. I am not scared of Fiona or her threats but the only thing I am afraid of is what she intended to do to Stacey. If she is really going to carry out her threats then I need to protect the woman I love and make sure that no harm comes to her. I don't want a b***h like Fiona coming close to Stacey and ruining my relationship with her.

Well if she thinks that I will accept her back into my life then she is more stupid than I thought, she can try as much as she can I say. Catherine said nothing but only stared quietly at me. I could see the sadness and the regret in her eyes.

Let me give you a piece of advice for old time sake, channel your attention to the man that loves you. Then I turned my back on her to leave.

I am sorry D, she said quietly, then I turned and stared at her taking in her pitiful appearance. You should be sorry, goodbye Catherine I replied then I left her room making my way downstairs.

As I got to the living room I met Dylan their butler,

Are you leaving already sir? he asked in a cheerful voice.

Yes Dylan I have something urgent to attend to I replied to which he nodded.

Until next time I say before hurrying away. I went to the parking lot to get to my car. My driver was leaning over the car and was on call but he quickly hung up and opened the door for me when he saw me approaching. When we both got inside the car he started the engine and turned to look at me,where are we going sir ? he asked.

Take me home I replied fishing out my phone from my pocket and sending a message to someone.

************************

Catherine P.O.V

Immediately Donovan left my room I broke down and my tears didn't stop flowing as I cried my eyes out. I regret all the lies I told him, he didn't deserve any of that.

Why couldn't I forget about him all these years and moved on with the man that cared for me. Eddie too didn't deserve the treatment I metted out to him and I am sure that he will never take me back after everything.

I have messed up big time, I don't even know how to fix the mess I created. I just have to move on with life alone cause I don't deserve any of these men. One was a good friend and the other was a good lover but I betrayed them both am such a horrible person and no different from Fiona. I derserve the hate Donovan will show to me from now on, I can't believe that I have lost him too.

I cried in frustration but the sudden ring of my phone startled me as I grabbed my phone but my vision was blurry so I wiped my eyes and saw that the caller was an unknown number.

I hesitated before I picked up after staring at the unknown number for some few seconds.

Hello I say quietly cause my voice was already hoarse from crying too much.

You b***h a voice shouted

I took the phone away from my ears before my ears bled from the way the banshee over the phone shouted and from the voice I already know whom the voice belonged to, can't this woman give me a break and at this point in my life I didn't care anymore what she does to me.

I put the call on speaker cause I don't want my ear drums damaged.

What the f**k do you want Fiona? and why are you shouting I yelled angryly at her.

Why is Donovan at your place she asked?

I laughed is that why you called me, well if you must know he came to finally break our frendship off I sneered.

How can I believe you, how am I sure that you are not trying to make your way back into his life again she said.

Believe anything you want I don't care, what more do you want from me? I already did what you wanted, what more do you want from me? I yelled hysterically

If I find out you are lying to me you will regret it Catherine

I laughed hysterically, I don't care anymore Fiona, I have already lost everything and all the people that care about me and what else can you possibly do to me again? if you like you can release my conversations with Donovan to the media and I still will not care.

The b***h had the guts to laugh at my misery, who the f**k cares about what you lost Catherine, stop acting too smart, it doesn't suit you considering how dumb you are. Why did you inform the paparazzi that you were at the hospital she asked.

I could hear the disgust in her voice, How did she find out, did she also find out the same way that Donovan did? but how?

Are you wondering how I found out? Fiona sneered

Don't try to act too smart nerd, I told you I got my eyes on you, but I will pardon you for your stupidity, but this is your last chance try anything stupid again and you will get it from me she said coldy making me more angry than scared.

At this point I have had about enough of her and her stupid threats. You know what b***h you can go f**k yourself, you don't scare me anymore, just leave me the f**k alone I shouted hanging up before she could say anything more to me.

Fuck Fiona, I don' give a flying f**k about anything anymore, she can go to hell for all I care. Stupid b***h.

*****************

It's been two days since Donovan came to see me and I have slipped into depression, my father who could have consoled me right now has been away for a week now and I had no one to share all my pains with. I was laying on my bed after taking my routine drugs and I could only eat a little because of my baby, the little one has no fault in this and I shouldn't be selfish again to starve it and that was why I pushed myself to eat even though I had no appetite.

Dylan had come to check on me cause I have not been out of my room and seeing my state he said he would call my dad to inform him of my situation but I begged him not to and that I will be fine.

Dylan was like a second father to me but I didn't want to burden him with my problems and I also didn't want to see the disapointment in his eyes if I told him the truth about what resulted to my depression. I know that I will get over it with time.

After he left my room, my phone suddenly rang and it was an unknown number calling me. Fearing that it was Fiona again with her nonsense I refused to pick up and tossed the phone aside but it kept on ringing irritating me so I grabbed it to turn it off but my phone beeped showing that I have received a new message. I reluctantly opened the message and in it was a simple sentence. " can we meet at Savannah Restaurant? 7.pm. E.

I kept on staring at the simple message in shock cause there was only one person whose name started with an E and that was Edward. I was ashamed to face him after everything and meeting him is not a very good idea.

But why does he want to meet me. Donovan already stated that he promised Eddie not to hurt me and this message only proves that he was still in town. My God I didn't know what to do, should I just ignore his message and just pretend that I didn't see his message. I know how determined Eddie can be and I know that he would stop at nothing just to meet me even if that means showing up here at my house he would do it.

I sighed, before making my decision to meet up with him. What harm could it bring, I mean I ruined everything already what more could I possibly loose by meeting up with him. I checked the time and I got two hours to get ready so I stood up and made my way to the bathroom to shower.

******************

Donovan P.O.V

The next day after leaving Catherine's house hoping not to see her lieing face ever again I made arrangements with a good security company to get me two body guards for Stacey.

I told them not to make it so obvious that they were guarding her. But rather they should act natural and blend in and then they can watch her from a distance while protecting her and not let her out of their sight so that Fiona or whomsoever that would want to hurt her will not know what hit them. I didn't want Stacey to feel uncomfortable feeling like her life was at risk if she sees the two buff men following closely behind her. It was better they kept their distance whilst still protecting her till this whole nonsence is over.

I would rather die than see any harm come to her. The cctv has also been installed at her place and it was already connected to my phone so that I can also be able to monitor what goes on at her unit and so far there has not been any suspicious activity from anyone. Either Fiona gave up and backed out or she is being cautious.

Stacey didn't come to work today cause her best friend Ryan was organising his Fashion show today to which she is one of his main models and alot of elites were invited including myself. At first I was a little jealouse when she told me that she will be participating as one of his models and I suddenly felt insecured which I have never felt before and when she noticed the change in my face she chuckled and peppered my face with kisses and told me that she already promised Ryan and cannot go back on her promise. I embraced her and sniffed her neck and kissed her there making her giggle.

Come on baby stop acting like someone is going to steal what belongs to you she said kissing the side of my mouth while giggling.

Have you seen yourself I say placing my hands around her waist, I feel very insecured when it comes to you. I don't want the eyes of all those men at the event feasting on your beautiful body I say kissing her face.

She widened her eyes, how can the great Donovan Green ever feel insecured about a woman and besides all those men can feast their eyes on me for all I care but I know whom I belong to she replied making my heart swell with pride.

I laughed, baby believe it or not this man here is only human afterall.

She embraced me tightly I am yours baby and nothing can ever change that.

And whom do you belong to baby? I say with desire in my eyes while licking her neck which I realised was her weak spot. She shivered and squirmed in my arms making me pepper her neck with kisses making her moan loudly.

I was beginning to feel myself grow hard but I controlled it cause I want our first time to be special cause she was special to me.

I love you baby I say don't ever forget that.

I love you too she replied kissing me hungrily as we both devoured each other's lips.

And so here I am without Stacey at work and I have a mountain load of work to complete before I prepare for the event which will be starting at 7.pm. I didn't want to keep calling Stacey to inquire about her so I let her be. I called her body guards and they told me that everything was fine and that Stacey was with the other models getting ready for the event. I sighed with relief and I also checked the cctv and there was nothing suspicious going on and there was no package left at her door step. Suddenly my phone rang and I picked up.

Tell me I say.

Sir, we have a lead on Mrs miller's accident

My face lit up, continue

After the plan you made, many people have been calling claiming that they have information about what happened to her that day but it turned out they were all a hoax but today someone claimed to have seen everything but was too scared to come forward to the police cause from the way the accident happend it looked like it was done delibrately to put mrs miller in a hospital.

I stiffened, which means I was right all along that this accident was caused intentionally but why?

Sir, the person claimed to have a video of what happend that day, he said that he was sitting at the porche of his house which was facing the street and he was making some videos that day when he saw mrs Miller crossing the road, she lived at the other side of the street but she seamed to be returning from a grocery store because she was carrying grocery bags. Then suddenly he saw a car approaching and thought that the driver would slow down for her to cross but the driver didn't and then the next thing the driver suddenly increased his speed and hit her, reversed and drove away.

Fortunately, he captured everything on video and is willing to send it to me.

I sighed deeply my chest heaving with suppressed anger. Did the person send the video yet?.

No he hasn't done so yet but he said that he wanted to make sure that he was sending the video to the right person cause he didn't want to reveal his true identity lest he got into trouble.

I sighed again, I understand, call him back and tell him that he is save and we don't even want to know who he is cause we are only after the information he's got so that mrs Miller can get justice. As promised, once he sends you the video and you confirm he isn't lieing transfer the stipulated amount of money to him.

Okay sir, I will do as you say.

One more thing send me the video once he sends it to you.

Roger that sir.

I hung up, finally I say, I will fish out the person who dared to cause harm to my own. I pushed the documents that was remaining on my desk aside and called Sarah my secretary through the intercome.

She picked up at the first ring.

Hello sir,

I want you to arrange a press conference for 10.am tomorrow morning.

Okay sir.

I hung up and placed the phone down, looking at the time it was already past five so I put aside my work to continue tomorrow, grabbed my phone and left the office, In the elevator I called Maxwell.

Get the car ready we are heading home I say.

**************************

So far the event has been a blast, all the models were walking up and down the runway wearing all their latest beautiful collections. Their various designs and makeup were top notch and I must really commend Ryan cause he did a really great job in organising this event cause everything exudes proffessionalism. From the venue, the concept, the theme, the production, the proffessional models who were absolutely pretty beyond doubts.

The guests who were present at the event includes celebrities and well known business men. I never knew that Ryan was well connected and from an affluent family, well I never did any research on the guy so all this came as a suprise to me and to think that Stacey and him were just friends and no stringes attached. Damn my girl is just too perfect for me.

She only cares about simplicity and no one would know that she is well connected cause of her humble personality and seeing her on stage tonight did things to my poor heart.

When she came out I held my breath, she was dressed differently from all the other models and she looked like an angel that had decended from heaven. My baby took my breath away with not just her beauty and perfect body but the way she gracefully catwalked down the runway.

I noticed how most of the men eyes were feasting on her with their eyes filled with lust and desire for her. I was instantly jealoused and prayed that the event quickly ended so I can take her home before these men devoured her with their eyes.

Well I wouldn't blame them for desiring her, she is a sight to behold. She looked ethereal in the outfit she was wearing which was an all- white outfit that blended and molded itself to her body, it accentuated all her beautiful curves and as she walked displayed her long legs and flawless skin.

She is a true model and she walked down the runway like she has been doing this all her life. Her beauty was like nothing I have seen before and even though she was among other beautiful women their beauty are not to be compared with hers cause she was a defination of perfection and the others got nothing on her.

Her perfect figure, prominent and high cheek bones, well defined chin and lower jawline made her look like a perfect model and I wondered why she chose to work in a construction company instead of taking up modeling as a carreer.

I can't believe she is mine and as I watched her I felt my c**k stir and I cursed silently as I can't believe that I was having an erection in an event like this so I quickly thought of something ugly to calm myself down. I tried to control myself and looked on without expression on my face.

Other prominent men seating close to me were making comments about how beautiful and perfect Stacey looked in her outfit. They were commenting on all these despite being there with their mistresses or wives, whom ever they were there with and I clenched my jaw with anger.

I hated the fact that all these men were lusting after her and I am yet to publicly claim her as mine therefore marking my territory. So being angry with these people is just me being petty nothing else.

After a while all the models were called out and they were all lined up beautifully in front of the audience in their beautiful outfits. They had all changed their previous outfits wearing something different which displayed their beautiful physiques.

Stacey had also changed into something else and she looked very pretty in it. They all posed in front of us and after awhile they all went back stage.

After what felt like forever the event finally came to an end and there were lots of different food and drinks laid out for the guests to help themselves with.

All through the event I felt someone looking at me and when I turned aound I didn't see anyone suspicious but I didn't let my guard down. I blended in with the elites who were present and alot of people were exchanging greetings with me and I was chatting with some business men I know while patiently waiting for Stacey to finish changing her outfit.

I was continously looking at my phone from time to time, then I texted her: "are you done changing baby" then I pressed sent.

The men I was with were busy chatting with me but I was distracted. I held my glass of champagne in one hand while using the other hand to go through my phone.

You seam distracted mr. Green one of the men stated. I think his name is Andrew or something I can't remember cause I knew him through one of my business partner.

I chuckled at what he said, I am just waiting for my girlfriend I replied

I suppose it would be one of the models he replied laughing making the others laugh

I said nothing as I smiled sipping my drink, I was not about to dicuss my love life with any of these men. This used to be me before I met Stacey. I used to happily join in in such conversations cause those women meant nothing to me but this time it was different.

So I texted Stacey again: " I am waiting for you baby, hurry up cant wait to devour you" I sent the message chuckling. Then she replied, "I am sorry baby, for keeping you waiting I will be out in a bit, you better keep to your promise" I smirked as I read her response.

Hi baby, a sweet voice said behind me making me turn to look at the person and it was Samantha the actress, my f**k buddy. Oh my goodness what was she doing here.

I noticed the other men stopped chatting and stared at her lustfully, she looked very beautiful this evening and former me would have also stared at her with lust in my eyes and afterwhich give her the f**k of her life but not anymore. To me her beauty can never be compared with Stacey.

Hello Samantha long time no see I said forcing a smile and praying silently within me that she be gone before Stacey came out of the dressing room.

What did I do D? you forgot about me and you stopped calling me and if not that you hated it when I come to see you at the office I would have come to you but I waited patiently for you but you didn't call.

Hearing her I excused myself and drew her away from the men I was with and I avoided the cameras before they start spreading gossips in the media.

When we were by ourself I removed my hands from her arms and looked at her. Look Samantha I have been pretty busy with stuffs and I just don't have the time to see you.

What stuffs D? she asked moving closer to me and plastering her body on mine making me panic as I quickly moved away from her.

What is it, don't you find me attractive anymore? she asked looking sadly at me as she noticed how tensed I was. Have you gotten a better f**k than me, that is making you act like this towards me.

I frowned then sighed deeply, look Sam you and I had a great time while it lasted but I won't be calling you over anymore I said making her look sadly at me and I didn't feel any iota of pity for her. It was about time I got rid of all of them and in a way it was a good thing that I met her here today so that she doesn't expect anything from me in future.

Anything you and I got going together in the past is over Sam, do not wait for my calls anymore but if there is a way I can help you in future you can put a call across to my secretary and my company will get it done for you.

A lone tear rolled down her eyes as she silently stared at me. She wiped her eyes, I can't believe this day will come D, but you are a good man and was a great company. I don't regret knowing you cause you have been so good to me and without you I wouldn't have come this far in my career she said smiling sadly at me. Her words warmed my heart and I smiled at her.

Did you find a woman you love? she asked smiling

I nodded, I love her alot Sam and she means everything to me .

Samantha nodded, I hope she is worth it she said.

She is worth everything I replied.

Samantha smiled, it was nice seeing you D she said leaning in and pecking my cheeks.

I stiffened then relaxed, all the best Sam I say to which she nodded and turned to walk away, then I looked up and saw Stacey watching us silently making my heart beat fast. Samantha walked towards her and said Hi then walked away.

I walked towards her as my heart filled with fear, how long have she been standing there watching us and what could she be thinking right now cause her face was stoic and I couldn't decipher what was going through her mind.

Baby it's not what you think, Sam is an old friend and we were just talking nothing else I swear I said everything in a rush cause I didn't want her to misunderstand.

You mean to say your former f**k buddy she said frowning.

She heard everything but wait did she just say former f**k buddy how did she know? then I stared at her and saw the amusement on her face making me frown then she bursted out laughing..

Oh my gush baby, you should see your face they look comical while you tried to explain yourself. I heard everything baby and I am happy you are putting an effort to make us work, that's impressive she said kissing me.

I felt so relieved so I embraced her. Thank you baby for believing in me.

Let's go love I say while placing my hand behind the small of her back as we made our way outside. Baby you look so beautiful I feel like ravishing you I smirked.

Hold your horses baby, she said laughing as we stood at the entrance waiting for the valet to get my car and as we were laughing someone hugged me tightly from behind making me stiffened.

Stacey frowned.

I love you baby, I want you back the voice said.

I felt angry as I recognised the voice even without seeing her wretched face, I roughly peeled her hands away from me making her almost lose her balance.

What the f**k! I seethed with anger making some by standers look towards our direction. I saw Stacey's look of surprise as she stared at Fiona.

What are you doing here Fiona? she asked with annoyance.
