“It’s not that simple, Nathan,” I said defensively. “He needs professional help.”
“Alright then. If I organise it, he’ll take it?”
“Of course he would.”
“Fine. I’ll organise it tomorrow,” Nathan said, his voice serious.
“Really?” I asked, not hiding my surprise. “Why are you going to help him?”
Nathan shrugged. “For Charlotte?”
Chapter five
I automatically woke early in the morning to get ready for work. I sat up in bed and went to get out, but Nathan grabbed me lightly on the arm, pulling me back down to him.
“Why are you awake so early?” he asked.
“I have to go to work.”
“No, you don’t. I told you that you have to take some time off,” he replied calmly.
I turned to look at him, knowing disbelief and horror was written all over my face. “You can’t be serious, Nathan? I have to work.”
“I’m very serious. I told you I’m not going to share you.” I went to protest, but Nathan interrupted me. “No buts. That’s the way it’s going to be. You are not working.” Nathan’s voice turned cold and hard and I knew he wasn’t mucking around about this.
“Nathan, how am I going to keep up with paying for my house? I still have bills to pay even if I’m not there.”
“I’ll take care of that. All you have to worry about is being my mistress,” he said as a dark smile formed on his mouth.
“Well, what am I supposed to do all day? I’ll go crazy sitting around the house all day. I’ve never been good at doing nothing.”
Nathan shrugged. “Read a book, swim, I don’t know. You’ll find something.”
Nathan dropped a kiss on my forehead and slid out of bed. He showered and dressed into a dark suit, while I lay in his bed feeling royally peeved off. He left for work, leaving me alone to fill the day until he returned.
I swam, read some of a book that I’d brought from home and watched a movie in Nathan’s huge media room. I had dinner alone at seven o’clock, then at nine-thirty I went to bed still feeling peeved off. Nathan still hadn’t returned home from work.
