Betrayed by Trust Read Online Free PDF

to make it appear that Blake was mismanaging funds. If people knew their marriage was a sham, Blake could possibly lose his credibility that way as well. There’s no telling what else Blake was hiding, so being married to him, she would have access to his home and she would be able to discover other skeletons, if he had any. The fact he would pay off someone to manipulate a situation was enough for her to see how similar he was to his uncle. 
    She weighed the pros and cons of signing the contract. She would have easy access to information and funds, or so she hoped. She could temporarily live the life of a rich socialite. She would have one of the most eligible bachelors in the Dallas Fort Worth area at her mercy. What she didn’t like about the situation was there was no romance and she never thought she would marry someone she wasn’t in love with.  How would her father feel about her marrying a Banks? He wouldn’t be too happy about it. She asked herself if she could go through with it.
    She typed up a few amendments to be added to his original contract. After having her friend check the wording, she felt it was time to go see Blake. She asked herself, if Blake agreed to her stipulations, would she or wouldn’t she agree to marry him? She placed the papers in a folder and headed to the fourteenth floor to give Blake her answer.
     
     

Chapter 6
     
    Caitlyn held the folder with the contract in one hand and used the other hand to open up the glass door leading to Blake’s office on the fourteenth floor. “I didn’t have an appointment with Mr. Banks, but he wanted me to hand deliver this file.”
    Joan, Blake’s secretary, looked over the rim of her glasses. Caitlyn assumed she was used to women making excuses to see him. “You can leave them here with me and I’ll make sure he gets it.”
    “He told me to make sure I put them in his hands and I don’t want to piss off the boss.”
    Joan called Blake before giving Caitlyn a response. “He’ll be here shortly. You can wait in his office.”
    “Thank you, ” Caitlyn responded.
    Caitlyn was drawn to the book case when she entered Blake’s office. They appeared to have similar tastes when it came to books. A Chester Himes novel was a little out of place, so she assumed he must have read it recently. The back cover of the book had her entranced so when Blake entered the room, it caught her a little off guard. 
    “I hope this is good news,” Blake said.
    She turned around. “Close the door and I’ll tell you.”
    Caitlyn watched Blake do as she commanded and waited for him to walk near where she was standing. His walk was like a panther on a prowl and she was his prey. She retreated and took a seat across from his desk before Blake could reach her.  She sat back and crossed her legs.
    Blake took a seat across from her. Caitlyn handed him some papers. “If you can agree with these, we might have a deal.”
    Caitlyn watched Blake read her list of demands. Blake’s facial expressions didn’t reveal if he was for or against the changes she made. Caitlyn shifted in her seat as she waited for Blake to respond.
    “Some of these are reasonable like paying off your student loan; but making sure you have fresh flowers once a week; come on now.” Blake placed the paper down in front of him.
    “I’m a sucker for flowers, but you know that don’t you?”
    “Actually, I didn’t. But I’ll make a mental note of it.”
    “Do more than that, just make sure I get a fresh arrangement of flowers every week and we’ll be fine.”
    He looked back at the list. “What’s this about no chocolate? I thought all women loved chocolate.”
    “I’m not most women." She leaned back and winked at him.
    He stared at her for a few seconds before looking back at the list. He said, “I don’t like pets. They are too messy.”
    “I haven’t had a dog since I lived with my parents and since we’ll be living together, you really need to reconsider.”
    “I’ll think
