Chapter 23: brother in law

Cara's POV

I woke up feeling great.

After we ate yesterday Blake accompanied me. He even encourage me to spend more. So I did, but the difference was I bought things for Angel, Carter, Mason, Charlie and even the team CARAmel.

I bought all of them neck ties from Turnbull  & Asser which set backs Blake $2,400. I bought Angel a black satchel from Chanel which I know she'll love.

Let's say Blake was disappointed that I only buy 2 bags for myself. I told him the Birkins and Kellys that he bought me before we got married are enough.

I got ready for work. I made sure that my alarm was set. I place my phone under my pillow to make sure that Blake will not mess up my alarm.

After I ate breakfast I went to the office. I told Carter the details of his date. I called Angel last night and she reluctantly agreed.

I greeted all the guards which in return they bow at me.

I change out off my normal clothes and wear my fabulous overalls.

I clean the restroom first because it takes more time and I really hate a dirty restroom.

I finished at 9am just in time for my breakfast at the cafeteria. I greeted Jane and Maria who are gossping at the reception's desk.

I reached the cafeteria and the situation are also the same. Employees are grouped together gossiping. What's going on?

I received my 2 cheese croissants and a glass of orange juice.

I observed all the staffs while I ate.

I've never seen this place full at this time. It was strange that staffs from the other departments are here usually the cleaners are the only people who ate at this hour.

I throw all my trash and walk slowly to catch what these employees are talking about.

"Did you hear that our CEO was already married?"

"Yes! I thought he was single all this time!"

"True that. I can hear the heart breaking of our female employees. They thought they have a chance."

"She's gorgeous even if the picture was a little bit grainy."

Wait. Pictures? As in plural form?

I speed walk out of the cafeteria and straight to Blake's office.

I discretely entered his room. Blake was holding his tablet with a scowl on his face.

"Goodmorning."

Blake looked up and smiled.

"Goodmorning to you too Amore. Come. You made the headlines."

I arc an eyebrow.

I peer on his shoulder and saw what he was talking about.

Billionaire CEO Blake Bradford got secretly Hitched! Mystery woman still unidentified!

My face was plastered at the front. The good thing was my face was still partially covered by my sunglasses and hat.

"I like this picture. It makes you look mysterious Amore. I'll get a copy."

Blake lift his line and call Mason.

"Mason get a copy of Cara's picture that was posted on PEOPLE magazine. Yes the side view one. No let the rumors fly. As if they'll find anything about her. Good."

"You seriously got a copy?" I ask stunned.

"Of course Amore. You look beautiful in it."

I roll my eyes and slump on Blake's lap.

"We'll ignore this issues Amore, like I said they'll not find anything even if they discover your full name because I erase all of it."

"Thank you Blake. I am not afraid of my past. I am just afraid that it will damage your image."

Blake snorts and hugs me.

"Cara what Image? It will not taint my already tainted image. Fuck image. Who cares? I have no one to please but you."

I smile. I turn and kiss his cheek.

"Okay." I whisper.

"Seriously Cara you look Hot yesterday. I did not even recognize you at all!"

"Just yesterday?"

"Fuck no. Everyday you are smokin hot Cara."

I smile "Good."

Blake whine when I stand up.

"I need to finish my work Blake!"

"Fuck work! Just stay here and love me!" He exclaimed.

I ignore what he said. I am tempted to stay but I can't. I need to check the feedbacks of our employees. Even if Blake said that he doesn't care about his image I do.

When I was opening the door Blake calls me "Cara."

I look back and saw him smirking.

"Be ready to make an appearance in a week."

"Why?" I ask.

"I have a board meeting. I want you to attend."

I was stupefied. I nodded robotically and goes out of Blake's office.

Shit.

Blake's POV

I open my phone and my homescreen was Cara and I. We were sprawled on my foyer. I am covered with feathers while Cara was covered with flour. That day was the best.

James Calling

Am I seeing this right? James calling my phone 2 days in a row?

I spin my chair and look out of the window to see if pigs are flying or alien was invading earth but no the sky was clear. Typical day in New York.

Why was he calling?

I answered my phone.

"Blake."

"Yes BFF?"

"Can I ask you several questions?"

"No."

"Okay." Then I swear to God James starts to turn off his phone when I shouted.

"Wait! I am joking! My God You can't even take a joke! What do you want to know?"

"Because you said No dumbass of course I'll end the call. I don't want to waste my time."

"Even for me?" I ask curiously but I know what his answer was.

"Yes." I knew it.

"So what are your questions?"

"You are adopted right? Do you know your biological parents?"

"Yes I am adopted but I never ask who are my biological parents. I am not even curious."

"Your parents did not mention anything about your original parents?"

As I look back I think they did.

"They just mentioned before that they are not responsible enough to take care of a child. That's it. Why are you asking?"

There was a brief silence on the other line.

"I think you have a sister Blake."

Cue in dramatic sound effect but the problem was I imagine the banana song of the minions in despicable Me.

*bababa bananana bababa babanana*

"What?"

"You have a sister. Her name is Ella."

The hell?

"The girl you're dating? That Ella?Are you sure James?"

James sigh "Yes I am sure. I even take a DNA test for proof."

"Do I even wanna know how did you got my DNA."

"Probably not." Probably illegal.

"Wait are you really sure James? Because if she really is my sister I can say she really have a bad taste in men."

"Fuck you."

"Wow what a way to treat your Brother in law."

"Shit. Thinking you as my brother in law makes my skin crawl. Just saying."

"Hey! That's rude!"

"Don't fucking care. So are you interested in meeting her? Because I know that your biological parents will make their appearance soon. I don't know when but I know they will seek out your sister."

"Tsk. Can you prevent them from seeing or talking to her?" Imagining my sister being subjected to those kind of people makes me mad.

"From seeing her? No but I can prevent any communication between them."

"That's good enough. So when will I meet her?"

"No definite time maybe in 2 to 3 weeks."

"Good. Just tell me ahead of time so I can clean up and make myself presentable."

"Blake I hate to break it to you but even plastic surgery can't improve your ugly ass."

"Damn you James!"

"See you. Wait for my call."

As usual James end the call.

I slump on my chair and grin. I have a sister.

I can't believe it!

I am so excited. Can't wait to meet her. I hope she'll like me.
