CHAPTER 3
Bianca was dying of embarrassment as she watched Eros take the freshly printed contract and then hand it to her and this time they both signed “He’ll probably think I’m desperate” this time she asked him to check everything and she checked meticulously and froze when she read one of the clauses “marriage until the baby is born”.
She says nothing and thinks carefully if she really wants to spend nine months married to a man who had never been married before, “I will be his first wife” the idea excited her a lot even though she knew there would be no love involved “No contact of any kind” every time she read she thought there was nothing more to read so she signed and Eros asks her if she read and she affirms yes with a nod of her head, Bianca watches the ceo sign and the nerves take over her because she did not know what would happen from now on.
-So… the marriage will be a sham that will last until the baby is born. When the engagement is announced, we will already be living together in my residence so in a week I will pick you up and we will start with the process for the pregnancy of my son, but first you must take some tests to make sure you are completely healthy.
-What do you mean, tests? No, no, there’s no need for that, I’m healthy and….
-If you read the contract, I guess you read the last clause, didn’t you? -Bianca curses inside since she didn’t get there, Eros begins to doubt if it was a good decision he was making, but he couldn’t take it back because he had also signed -I’ll call you as soon as everything is ready.
Eros hands her a copy of the contract and when she takes it she quickly moves her hands away from him because of the small friction between their hands, she quickly left his office and the building, she turns around and observes the huge company owned by her now fiance.
She put the document away and as she was on her way to the hospital, she began to worry as she did not know what she would tell her mother about her supposed marriage to a high society man, “I didn’t think of that before”. When she arrived at the hospital her mother was still asleep, when she arrived the doctor was with her and her nerves made her think that he was probably there to remind her about the hospital expenses.
-I’m glad to see you, I wanted to let you know that your mother is more stable. Oh, and your fiance has already paid for the tests you had and for your mother’s medical expenses.
-So? -Bianca said with surprise -What time did he… make the payment?Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
-About ten minutes ago.
The doctor tells her that they will be waiting for her to perform all the tests for what Eros had paid, she stands still watching her mother while she thinks more calmly about what she had done, “What did I do?” Bianca always dreamed of marrying for love and not for convenience and her conscience began to tell her that she had sold herself to a man voluntarily.
-Mom… forgive me.
Eros found himself meditating on what he just did, signing a contract for mutual convenience, getting married and letting a stranger have his daughter… is something he would never do, but knowing that his father won’t leave him alone is something he can’t stand and even more to be reminded that his ex-girlfriend is pregnant and will marry his subject whom he considers a cheap prototype of him.
-So you’re still in here.
He reacts immediately when his father enters, locks up the contract keeping calm, watches his father enter and asks him what he was doing in his office, his father observes him and asks him if he has thought about what he had told him.
-Yes… I have thought about it and I’m tired of the same subject, so I’ll tell you once and for all, I’ve been going out with a girl for several months -his father didn’t expect that from Eros- Are you surprised?
-Didn’t you say you didn’t want any kind of relationship with anyone?
-You didn’t leave me any options, did you? If I don’t tell you, you won’t leave me alone.
His father didn’t believe in what his son Eros was saying, he observes him and asks him how he met her and Eros remembers the day of the accident, he cocks a smile as he remembers and tells his father what happened that day that was recently
-That sounds kind of made up.
-Believe it or not… that happened and what can I tell you… it captivated me. If you want I can introduce you to her since we are getting married very soon.
-Are you serious? -His father was more than surprised that his son was saying that he was getting married very soon, but his face completely unhinged when he told him that she was pregnant. -Pregnant? That’s impossible…
-Isn’t that what you wanted?
Her father of course was happy with the news as he has always dreamed of being a grandfather, but the detail is that he thinks the girl is high society like them.
When his father leaves, Eros’ smile is completely erased as his father told him that he would go to visit them to meet the future daughter-in-law, everything was going according to his plans, but he was still unsure about bringing a stranger into his life.
After a week, Bianca had managed not to leave her mother alone and also to make her believe that she had found a job and that the only detail was that she had to live in the residence where she would work in the kitchen and her mother believed her words.
When Eros passed by her, he observed the luggage that Bianca brought with her.
-What is that? -he asked confused.
-My things. -Why?
-Leave that at home o….
-Listen, my mother thinks I’m going to work as a maid so I can’t leave without anything because she’s going to get suspicious.
-Okay. -He says without importance. Bianca seeing that he wouldn’t help her with her luggage snorts in annoyance and throws the suitcase into the back seats of her car. -It can’t be. -He mutters in annoyance when he sees that he soiled the seat with the wheels of his suitcase.
When they arrive at the entrance of his residence, he stops, takes the suitcase out of his car and throws it into the container that was outside his mansion. Bianca couldn’t even object as he told her she didn’t need to because if she was going to represent being his wife, she should look like a dignified woman of his class.
When they were in front of the mansion she was stunned to see how huge it was, she reacts when Eros calls her, she follows him back to his room and tells him to get dressed soon because they have to go out.
-Where are we going?
Eros approaches her with a seductive smile and Bianca nervously backs away when he gets too close.
-To get you pregnant. -Or would you prefer me to do it… personally?
