Chapter 8

• My anger was still not ready to subside and I continued “Or do one thing Miss Jones, you can make money as much as you want from me and become my sex slave for a lifetime, and you now I will also think of giving my name to your bastard child, what do you think, see it is not at all a bad deal” I can see that she was still trying hard to control her emotions and she said, “Mr. Johnson, please don’t go overboard” I walked closer to her again and bend close to her ears and said, “think about it, you will not have to work for your whole life, you will have a luxuries life, I will wait for your answer Miss Jones” with that I left.
• Author’s POV
• The moment he left she slides down on her knees putting her head in her knees and started crying hard, she cried almost for half an hour all the things Owen said were ringing in her mind, after around one hour she tried to stand but her legs were feeling week she was about to fall when a pair of strong arms hold her, she looked up and saw Malcolm.
• Malcolm saw her puffy eyes and said in a worried tone “what happened to you why are you here?” Nancy tried to stand on her own without Malcolm’s support; she is not at all comfortable with any men’s touch after that incident five years back.
• Malcolm felt her uneasiness and took a step back Nancy said in a very low voice “Malcolm, can you please drop home?”  Malcolm agreed immediately and tried to give his hands to her to take support but she declined and they walked slowly towards the parking.
• On the way, Nancy just made one call to the babysitter and said in a weak voice “Once Angie is done playing with her uncle, please bring her home I am going back” after that she just shut her eyes and didn’t speak anything till they reached home.
• Once they reached Nancy’s home Nancy came out of the car and walked towards the door without even looking back or saying bye to Malcolm and he understood that there was something wrong with her something bothering her, “but why I am feeling uncomfortable seeing her in this state” Malcolm mumbled to himself 
• He drove back to the hospital and went to meet Chris; he thought that Chris might know what happened to Nancy. Once he reached the hospital he saw Riya and Chris chatting with Angie happily.
• He liked Angie very much; she is just a replica of Nancy. In the last few days, he had done some investigation on Nancy’s background but he didn’t get much information, he wanted to know about the father of the child but nothing came out. So now wanted to talk to Chris on this matter
• He entered the room while greeting and smiling to all, they all chatted for some time. Chris was recovering fast. They all chatted for some time. Angie was tired and felt sleepy so the babysitter took her home
• At Nancy’s Home 
• Author’s POV 
• Nancy locked herself in her bedroom and cried hard, she never thought after going through so much in her life she will be called prostitute, she was the one who was raped, she was the one who was cheated, she was the one who worked hard to give her child best life after suffering all these how come her child become bastard.
• Nancy’s POV
• Just because my child doesn’t have a father means she is a bastard, bastard is the person who sold me, bastard is the person who trades a human being with money just for his pleasure. I have tried to give the best to my child. I will give her everything; I will not let her suffer just because something wrong happened with me. I wiped my tears and went to the bathroom and cursed myself standing in the shower for not being strong enough that a random person’s words hurt me this badly.
• I have heard like these kinds of stuff earlier also, but that never affected me but I don’t know why but when Mr. Johnson said those things it hurt me, I was shocked to hear, what he thinks about me, but still, I have to make myself strong for my little angel, the hope of my life.
• I was very tired, crying so much, I felt tired and I slept; thinking what I had to do next, I very well know what I have to do next.
• At Hospital
• Author’s POV
• When Angie slept and left with her babysitter, Malcolm said “Chris and Riya I want to talk to Nancy” both Chris and Riya looked at Malcolm with a question mark face. Malcolm continued in a serious tone “Chris, I like Nancy and I want to marry her I want you to help me” Chris and Riya were shocked Chris said “Malcolm, you know your family will never agree for this and I don’t know about Nancy, she will agree to this or not it’s her life” Malcolm said “about my family you leave it to me and I know I need to know what Nancy thinks about me but I am asking you because I want to know about her daughter”
• Malcolm paused and said “I mean, who is her father, look don’t misunderstand its…” he was cut off by Chris “I understand Malcolm, and I will be very happy if you marry Nancy but about her daughter, I would suggest you ask her only because it’s her personal life” 
• Riya said “Malcolm, I can just say one thing she is a very nice girl, please don’t judge her. She had already suffered a lot in her life, if you can really fill her life with a little bit of happiness it will be great, she had stopped living her life she breaths only for her daughter, if you can bring to love herself we will be very thankful to you”
• Malcolm nodded and said “Chris, you know I have never dated any girl and I don’t know, how to approach Nancy” Riya happily interrupted and said “Malcolm, don’t worry about that I will help you to approach Nancy, I will be more than happy to get some happiness in my little sister’s life”
