Chapter 22
Cat Mendoza:–
“Cat….Cat, please wait and listen to me. It wasn’t what it looks like. Just let me explain and stop running. You can fall and get hurt.”
I heard Alexander shout as he came running towards me but I was fast and got into the elevator and fortunately the door slid shut before Alexander can reach me and opened at the lobby floor.
I ran out, totally lost and cursing at myself for even thinking for a moment that Alexander could be different from all the men out there, that he could be different from Jericho. Alexander just proved me that I was a fool for even thinking that. All
men are same.
“Cat, stop!” I heard Alexander roaring voice and all of a sudden I was pulled back against a hard chest, with arms wrapped around my waist and then that familiar masculine scent of Alexander hit my nostrils “Stop running or you are going to hurt the baby.”
“So that’s what you are worried about? That I will hurt your baby” I snapped, elbowing him, but he didn’t move or let me get out of his grip.
“Just let me go, Alexander. I was a fool for thinking that you were different and loyal
as compared to Jericho and all other men out there, but you are just like them. Looking to dip your dick in the available hole.”
“Is that what you think of me, Cat? Really?” he asked, stunned “I am not like other men, what you saw in ther….” he was cut off by his assistant who came running with a worried expression and whispered something in his ear that made him let go of
- me.
*Cat, you need to go directly to the penthouse and wait for me. We are going to talk about this after I return.” he orders and turned his attention to his assistant “Call my pilot and get the plane ready. Tell him that we fly in next thirty minutes. ASAP!”
“Yo.. You are going somewhere?” I asked, shocked by he didn’t answer and walked away leaving me in the lobby for good one minute until his driver approached me.
“Miss. Mendoza, Mr. Winters has asked me to take you home.” Alexander’s driver spoke.
“I have my car so you can tell your boss to go to hell.” I snapped in anger, and watched the man flinched back due to my harsh behavior and instantly felt bad “I…I am sorry. I am just angry, but I shouldn’t have taken it out on you. Please forgive
me.”
“It’s alright, Miss. Mendoza. I understand.” the polite elder man smiled and gave me his handkerchief “Tears doesn’t look good on your beautiful face, child.”
“Than…Thank you.” I thanked him and headed to my car. After settling in I stepped on the paddle to drive, and headed to Alexander’s place, but instead of staying over there, waiting for Alexander to return I packed up my bag, called Enrique and told him that I am coming to live with him and Leo in the spare room for a few days.
They were happy to let me in so here I was sitting in the guest room of Leo’s apartment, Enrique’s boyfriend, crying with a ice cream bowl in my hand and staring at the wall when there was a knock. I thought it would be Enrique, but it was Leo with a tray of warm food and dessert on it.
“Hey, I hope you are hungry because Enrique and I prepared your favorite. Enrique just had to go and pick up something from the grocery store and will be here in a moment.”
Leo carefully put the tray down on the bedside table and joined ine on the bed though the happiness reflected on his face

was too bright to contrast the sad tears rolling down my cheeks.

“Come on Cat,” he whispered and pushed the ice cream bowl out of my hand. “Ice cream is good but its no match for fixing a broken heart. At least let me feed you something that won’t cause the formation of icebergs inside your skull and besides, it’s not healthy for the baby and you know it, so please get some real nutrients inside of your body.”
I sniffled and barely managed to utter a small laugh though my throat was extremely tight. “Stop it, Leo, but frankly I am not interested in food right now and this baby likes Ice cream very much because I always crave it.”
Leo folded his arms across his chest then stared at me w
what descried as the parent warning glare.
“Oh no, Miss Mendoza. You cannot afford to sulk while you’re starving to death. If you don’t eat, Enrique will personally come to your bedroom door and carry you back to the dining area and you know he wouldn’t do it lightly. So, are you going to start eating or are you waiting for Enrique to come?”
I let out a small, tired breath, picking up the fork laid out on the triangle tray. “Okay, but let me tel you that there is no way I will be able to finish all of it as it is too much.” I said taking the bite of the delicious pasta “Happy now that I am eating?”
Leo grinned triumphantly. “That’s my girl no wonder why Enrique loves you like his sister and have to be stern and stubborn with you, since you are a stubborn woman as I have heard from him.”
Which I did. prodding my food around as he reclined on the bed and eyed me thoughtfully. “So, you want to tell me what’s going on or should I have to complete the story with some melodramatic drama series script.”
I paused for a moment, the fork held in the air over the plate. “Have you ever come across a person and you felt that he was unique in some way but when you meet they are as bad as all the rest?”
Leo tilted his head. “Ah, let me guess. This cannot be the one about Mr. Tall, Dark, and Brooding Enrique swoon about all the time and makes me jealous with him? The one who is your baby daddy?”
I scowled, forcing myself to take a chunk of chicken in my mouth. “His name’s Alexander, and
yes that guy.”
“So, what did he do to make you this miserable?” he asked “Do you want Enrique and I to beat him?”
