Chapter <b>5 </b>
That day, I went all out–did my makeup, threw on a ck mini dress I hadn’t worn in forever.
My barely–showing bump was hidden under the loose fabric. Nobody could tell I was pregnant.
<b>In </b>the hotel ballroom<b>, </b>I was sitting at this fancy round table, feeling kinda dizzy from all the rich food.
Then Piper’s boss–this tall, gorgeous guy in a designer suit–walked straight over to me.
Piper immediately stood up. “Oh, hi Mr. Sterling.”
This Sterling dude smoothly took Raven’s seat and turned to me:
“I’m Caleb Sterling. Been watching you all night. Mind if <b>I </b>get to know you better?<b>” </b>
I covered my food baby belly and tried to suck it in.
Caleb had one hand casually on the table, showing off this silver watch.
Patek Philippe. Limited edition.
<b>I </b>swallowed hard and looked at Piper.
She was standing next to Caleb looking shocked, then started making encouraging faces at me.
I looked back at the hot–<b>ass </b>Caleb and smiled.
“Sure, I’m Raven Mitchell. Nice to meet you.”
Caleb’s long fingers tapped the table, that polite smile never leaving his face.
“You free this afternoon, Raven? I’m hosting a little get–together at my private estate up in the hills. Wannae?”
Seeing me hesitate, Caleb nced up at Piper.
“She’s your friend, right? She cane too.”
Piper’s eyes went wide. <b>“</b>I cane<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Right then<b>, </b>Caleb’s assistant walked over with <b>these </b>fancy gift bags for me and Raven.
I opened mine–beautiful box with a solid 100–gram gold bar.
Plus a whole La Mer skincare set.
“Little wee gift,<b>” </b>Caleb said in this smooth voice. “Hope you don’t mind.”
Cheating On Mal
“Mind? Are you kidding?” I immediately closed the box and stood up. “Mr. Sterling, you’re way <b>too </b>generous. Definitely hit me up for more <b>of </b>these events.”
<b>Caleb’s </b>smile got bigger.
Me and Piper followed him out of the hotel’s fancy lobby.
A Maybach pulled up just as some delivery guy walked over.
Obviously there to deliver someone’s order.
“Raven?<b>” </b>
ke frowned and called my name.
He walked up to me and Caleb, giving me this intense look.
“What’s going on with you two?”
ke was the same height as Caleb, just as good–looking.
But standing there in his delivery uniform next to Caleb in his custom suit, he looked kinda pathetic.
I coughed and avoided eye contact.
Just as I was about to exin, an arm slid around my waist and pulled me closer.
It was Caleb.
My back tensed up as I heard Caleb chuckle softly.
“ke Hartwell, you know this lovelydy?”
Now I was the one shocked.
They KNEW each other??
ke didn’t say anything, just stared at Caleb with those clear eyes.
In the weird tension, some theories started forming in my head based on all the sketchy shit that’d been happening.
Right then, ke reached out and grabbed my wrist.
“Raven<b>, </b>don’t go with him.”
“Excuse me?” I jerked my hand away on purpose. “You’re broke as hell and now you’re gonna tell me I can’t find another sugar daddy?<b>” </b>
Caleb looked surprised at how blunt I was being.
Me Smart House Was Cheating <b>On </b>Me!

I kept going: “You got time to worry about me? Go check on your precious princess who’s ‘suffering‘ with you.”
When I said that, ke’s dead eyes flickered with something.
He frowned hard and made this annoyed sound.
“Whatever. Not my problem anymore.”
Then he walked around us and headed into the hotel with his delivery bag.
I moved closer to Caleb. “Let’s go, Mr. Sterling.”
Caleb smirked and opened the car door like a gentleman.
Before getting in, I caught a glimpse of the license te.
Yep. Same Maybach that’d been picking up Madison and going to those Malibu mansions.
