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

Katherine pov continues….

It was the first day I went to my company to represent my father as he was not in the position to attend the meeting.

Uncle Joseph welcomed me and Martin along with some company's staff. 

" Miss.Davis…. I am your employee, not your uncle at work time. You have to learn professional gestures while interacting with others at work" Uncle Joseph said. I nodded like an obedient child.

" Good…" he gave a little smile and escorted me and Martin to the conference room.

All the shareholders and other business associates stood up when I entered the conference room. Among them, Grayson was also there. He is one of the shareholders of our company. I was furious looking at his face. I wanted to kill that bastard. When I was in my thoughts, Uncle Joseph started the conversation.

" Ladies and gentlemen, a very good morning. Today I informed everyone to assemble at the meeting because I have great news to share. As an advisor and personal assistant to Mr. Davis, I have an important announcement. From today, Miss. Davis is the CEO of this company…" he announced which made me shocked.

I looked at his face with bewilderment. All of the sudden, one of the members in the meeting stood up from the chair and objected.

" She is naive in business, how can she manage the company as CEO?" He questioned. Soon many members raised the same question. I felt so nervous to answer them.

" I want everyone to be silent for a few minutes. I have to share another news also. ." Uncle Joseph said in a stern voice.

The conference hall was silent all of sudden and was waiting eagerly for what could be the next. Just that time, he gestured to the helper to open the door of the conference room. As soon as the door opened, we noticed media people, cameras were in front of us.

Everyone was looking at me and Uncle Joseph with anxiety. I too don't know what the announcement was.

" This meeting is about to announce the legal will of Mr. Davis " Uncle Joseph declared and looked at me.

" According to the will, Mr. Davis's eighty percent properties will be transferred to the only heir of his only daughter, Miss. Katherine Davis and twenty percent shares to Martin Lawerence. And after getting married, forty percent of the shares will be transferred to her husband and her children. The most important thing, I will remain as the executor for the first seven years and then Martin as guardian. And there are other clauses in the will that I can't disclose with others…" Uncle Joseph.

After the announcement, the paparazzi's focus was on us. The media people tried to ask me how many questions but Uncle Joseph asked them to leave as the announcement was over.

Once they left the conference hall, Uncle Joseph said in a strict tone, " As I am going to be the legal executor to Miss. Davis, no one had to worry about your shares and investment…." 

After discussing among themselves, they applauded and signed the agreement as they accepted me as the CEO of the company. Once the meeting ended, everyone left the room except Grayson. He came to me with a bouquet of roses and congratulated me.

" Shall we go to lunch? " he asked me.

" I have to go home to check on my father. Hope you know he is not well. " I replied angrily but he held my wrist tightly to stop me.

Martin pushed him away and warned him to stay away from me. When we were walking away, he shouted, " Is he the reason to say No to me? " I turned my head and looked at me, gritting my teeth.

" It's none of your business " I replied.

" Everything about you is my business…" he walked towards me. Martin came between both of us and stood like a wall to protect me.

" Stay away from her…" Martin warned him. For his words, Grayson smirked and asked, " Are you that good in bed that she is rejecting to marry a rich and handsome person like me?"

Martin lost his control and punched on his chest, " Stay away from her or else it will be your last day…" in an angry tone.

Grayson didn't expect Martin could react in that way. He also punched him back and told him to stay away from me. Uncle Joseph ran towards us and pulled each other away.

" Mr. Grayson… behave properly. Don't forget this company belongs to Miss. Davis…" Uncle Joseph said.

" And very soon she will be mine and this property…" he replied confidently. I was so furious and said my decision, " I will never marry you. …"

He pulled Martin who was standing behind me and pinned me to the door behind me, he strangled my neck and said, " Don't challenge me… Everything of yours is mine. Be ready to marry me. I told the same thing to your father when he came to my home to inform me that he wanted to cancel the engagement"

I was so scared to see his behavior. And I also felt hard to breathe. Just then Martin pushed him away from him. " Princess...Are you okay? " he asked.

I was so frightened and cried on his chest, hugging him. Grayson stood up from the floor and shouted, " She is mine. If anyone touches her, I will kill them. "Immediately I moved away from him and looked at him with fear.

" Good girl…." He smirked at us and left the conference room. 

Martin gave him some work to drink and made me sit on the chair. " Princess….donot cry. Everything will be fine…"

" Miss. Davis...it's better to go home…" Uncle Joseph suggested. Then the next minute, Martin and I started in the car to our Mansion. On the way to my mansion, my body was shivering with fear. I placed my palms on my stomach and prayed to God to save my baby. 

" Princess… don't be scared, I will be there for you. Till everything will be alright I don't leave your side. Trust me…" he promised.

" He looked so dangerous…" I cried, leaning on his shoulder.

" Shhh…. Don't think about anyone. Close your eyes and relax…" he tried to calm my mind but his terrifying words make me so restless. Even after reaching the Mansion, I was shivering.

Aunt Lisa was waiting for us already in the living room. " Kathie...how was your day? Is everything fine? " she asked.

" Yes…." Martin lied and gestured with his eyes to stay quiet. 

" But she is looking so tense? " Aunt Lisa inquired looking at my face. For that Martin said, " it's the effect of the first day at work" he lied again.

" Okay…. Fresh up and come. I will serve lunch for you both…" she said and went to the kitchen.

I changed my dress and went to have my lunch as I was so hungry. I kept all my tensions aside and started eating, thinking of my baby. Once I finished having lunch, I felt nauseated and ran towards the washbasin in the dining room. Martin, who noticed it, left his food and rushed towards me.

" Kathie….what happened? Shall we go to the hospital? " he asked me.

" It's okay. The doctor told me, it is one of the symptoms of pregnancy. No need to worry about it…" I told him. We forgot about Aunt Lisa's presence.

" Pregnancy!!! " Aunt Lisa was shocked with the news.

We turned our heads and stood rooted in our places. I gulped my throat and looked at her. " Kathie...are you pregnant? " she asked me to confirm. I nodded my head and looked with pleading eyes not to tell my father.

She dragged me to my bedroom and closed the door, " Do you know what if your father came to know about your pregnancy before the wedlock? Do you know how proud he feels of you? "

" Aunt Lisa….please talk in a low voice. I know he will be disappointed. But please don't tell me about my pregnancy. Already his health is not good " I said, lowering my head.

" I don't disclose this news to Mr. Davis. But you made me disappointed in my upbringing, Kathie ...." She said in a sad voice and walked out of my room with a gloomy face.

After she left the room, I sat alone on my bed. Until someone knocked on the door, I didn't notice it was dark outside.

" come in…" I said.

" Princess...do you forget what the doctor said! " Martin asked while coming inside with a plate of sliced apples.

" I am not hungry…." I said.

" but my little friend in your womb will be hungry. Eat like a good girl…" he ordered. I felt so happy to have a good friend like him. After two days, Aunt Lisa started taking extra on me as I was pregnant but she used to talk less with me.

…..

One night, when I was sleeping in my bedroom, I heard some noise and opened my eyes. I saw a figure due to the darkness. I was scared and supposed to scream but the person closed my mouth with palms.

" Don't shout. It's me….Grayson…" he whispered in my ears which made me more scared.
