The meeting was over quickly, and Kyle realized that things were looking up for Cassandra even though she was still anxious.
Cassandra couldn’t help but wonder if she was doing the right thing because she understood what this meant long-term.
“Is everything alright?” Kyle asked but Cassandra looked shook.
“The lawyer… He said something about Justin never seeing him again,” Cassandra said but the truth was, she wanted her son to know his father.
Otherwise, he risked growing up to be dysfunctional because there was no telling what a lack of a masculine presence in his life would do.
“Is that a problem?” Kyle asked like it wasn’t a big deal. He knew this would make her respond honestly to the situation because Kyle had somewhat shaped her response without her knowing.
If she said it was a big deal, it might look like she wanted to keep Justin in her life and from the contract that she agreed with Kyle, it was clear that he didn’t like sharing.
“I wanted my son to know his father or have someone to fill that role in his life,” Cassandra said but Kyle found this to be the perfect opportunity to exploit her affection bar.
Kyle understood at a fundamental level that this might be the wrong thing to do but he planned to tell her what she wanted to hear at that moment.
“That is why I’m here,” Kyle said with a reassuring smile and Cassandra was shocked to hear this.
She didn’t expect these words to come out of his mouth because Kyle was a young man with the world at his fingertips, there was no reason for him to limit himself to this responsibility but Cassandra couldn’t help but believe him.
Kyle was so convincing but of course, he was, he just became the best actor overnight but it was hard to discern if this was an act or the truth.
“You’re just saying that. I’m sorry to say but I cannot believe mere words,” Cassandra said but Kyle chuckled at this response.
Her reasoning was valid considering who Kyle was but this was also a pivotal moment for her as well because she knew what this meant not only for her but her son.
“Cassandra… Have you forgotten?” Kyle asked but Cassandra looked confused by what he meant by this.
“It seems I have because I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Cassandra responded but a chuckle escaped Kyle’s lips.
“You have me and my wealth is never-ending, I can give you as much as you want when you want it,” Kyle reassured her. Cassandra wanted to call his bluff but Kyle already demonstrated he had the wealth to do that.
“Why me?” Cassandra asked.
“Well, you have those things on her chest for starters,” Kyle said, staring right at the top of her cleavage.
Kyle noticed she was wearing a more revealing outfit recently and it was a refreshing sight to see.
It made her look more modern and less closed off, the chances that she would be approached by men looking this good was inevitable.
But he liked it, Kyle wanted other men to want his women or how would he have them as trophies in the long run if they were only desired by him?
Kyle wanted the best for them in life and had the means to make sure that came to pass.
“And you are an amazing woman. Don’t get me started about you being a mother, I cannot place my fingers around it but the sacrifice you’re making for your child isn’t something every woman could,” Kyle added, complimenting her motherhood.
Cassandra smiled at this compliment and Kyle leaned in close like she had something on her face.
“There is that smile… I definitely cannot lead that out,” Kyle said and Cassandra was flushed right when these words left his lips.
[Ding!]
[Update in affection bar!]
[Cassandra’s affection: 7%!]
Kyle knew it wasn’t much but it was something, he wasn’t sure if it increased because he called her a good mother or because of the compliments about her features.
“Hahaha! You’re such a smooth-talker,” Cassandra couldn’t hold her blushes even though she tried her best to remain composed.
“Smooth talker and an even better eater, I’m a man of many talents,” Kyle said out of the blue.
Cassandra knew what he was implying but the truth was that she had never been eaten before.
She stuck to conventional sex and didn’t do anything much in terms of sexual adventures.
“You are? I wonder how that feels: Cassandra was a grown woman so this topic didn’t make her embarrassed because she knew it had to be had if they were to have a healthy relationship.
“I could show you,” Kyle’s hand clutched her thighs but they were in public, the lawyer had left them alone right after their business concluded.
“We’re in public,” Cassandra whispered, trying to remove his hand from her thighs but Kyle was letting up.
“I could show you so many things…” Kyle said as his hand went higher up her thigh.
Kyle expected her to stop him but her hands slowly left his, leaving him to do what he wished with her body.
“Do you want to head back to your place?” Kyle asked her but Cassandra raised her eyebrow.
“Don’t you think it is strange that I have never been to your place?” Cassandra questioned and she had a reason to.
It was a common practice for men to invite women back to their place but Kyle hadn’t done that despite his status.
Jane wasn’t going to be home nor was he expecting Calista so he should have the house all to himself.
But there was a problem, he didn’t want Aiysha or Jones to see him bringing in different women to his house because it would ultimately dent his image.
Kyle realized that he might need another house for these types of activities.
Somewhere far away from here and that would solve half of his problems because then, he would no longer be worried about ruining how he was perceived.
Kyle had no idea why he was hesitant to take this step but understood that it would be him giving up a life that he had grown accustomed to.
However, it was time to make this change, he could put in a quick call and rent out an Airbnb for the rest of the year.
However, Kyle knew Cassandra would catch on because there would be no pictures or personal objects that would make this place look like a home.
Kyle had to come clean, he could just tell her the truth because the last thing he needed was three women knowing where he lived.
Each could access his home whenever they felt like it and this would put him in a tricky situation as it was only a matter of time before they ran into Jane.
Kyle hadn’t told Jane about these girls yet even though she had her suspicions.
Kyle knew he needed to ease her into it, she had to understand that despite him having other women didn’t mean he cared less about her.
This simply meant that he had the means to feed his addiction without compromising the lives of those around him.
“You know what, you’re right but my place is undergoing a few renovations so it is not in a state to entertain guests as of yet,” Kyle said and this was true because the apartment was undergoing a renovation.
Even though his house wasn’t the one facing that construction.
“Is that so?” Cassandra asked in a suspicious tone.
“I cross my heart and hope to live,” Kyle responded.
“That isn’t how it goes…” Cassandra responded with a head shake and Kyle chuckled at this revelation.
“You see? My brain signals get all scrambled when I’m with you,” Kyle showed his wit to try and divert the conversation from heading into a direction he didn’t wish for it to.
“Fine, we can go back to my place,” Cassandra said.
“Is your child home?” Kyle asked to which Cassandra nodded to confirm he was in fact at home.
“Yes, he is…” Cassandra responded, wondering if that would put him off from continuing with their planned hook-up.
“Good, I think it is about time I got to know the little fella,” Kyle responded.
Cassandra couldn’t believe those words left his mouth, she knew that Kyle didn’t need to go this far but nonetheless appreciated the gesture.
“Is there something wrong?” Kyle asked her, Cassandra couldn’t hide her facial expression.
“Nothing is wrong, I was just surprised, that is all. I didn’t know you wanted to meet my boy,” Cassandra confessed.

“The key… It is her child,” Kyle thought to himself but this would inadvertently force him to play the role of a father despite him having no experience. Either being one or having one.
