Chapter 4 We're Done
- Sofia's Point Of View :
- I was so pissed because of that crazy man! Damn it!
- He's been bothering me for almost a week. He also disturbs my job search. Can't he understand that I really don't want to accept what he offers?
- "How's your day?"
- "Baby!" I almost got wet from the water because Alexus suddenly appeared again. He saw me watering a plant here, then suddenly startled.
- "Hahaha do you agree?"
- "You agree with your face!"
- "Please," he begged.
- I let go of the hose I was holding and faced him calmly.
- "Alexus, why are you such a naughty person? How many times have I told you that I will not accept what you offer?"
- "I will pay you,"
- "You'll pay me? You see that habit of yours? Where did you see a woman accepting payment just to get pregnant, huh? Besides that it lowers the dignity of women, it was also a bad idea!" I keep on declining his fvckin' offers, but he's really desperate!
- "I'm willing to pay Million Dollar for the baby,"
- I told him my reasons but still he keeps on insisting what he wants!
- Then—wait, what? As in MILLION DOLLAR? Woah! That's a big amount of money!
- "Where are you going to get that much money?" I asked him suspiciously.
- Yes, he's handsome but it is not obvious from his appearance that he is as rich as he was saying. Imagine him, paying a million dollar for the baby he's asking?
- Wait, isn't he a member of the syndicate? Yes, the syndicates that sell children to the rich who wants to have children? Oh my God!
- "I'm telling you! You're a member of a male syndicate! This is what you deserve!"
- I took the hose that I put down, and opened it again, then he was the one I watered.
- "Sofia, stop it!"
- "Stop your face! You're a bad person and you should be watered!" I said as I continued watering him.
- "What are you talking about?" He asked angrily. I raised my eyebrows because of his reaction.
- "You're a slave with the syndicates that sell young babies to the rich,"
- "Stop it!"
- He tried to snatch the hose I was holding and watered it for him but of course, I didn't let him get it from me.
- DUG. DUG. DUG.
- Wait, what was this? I was stunned by the rapid beating of my heart, causing me to release the water hose I was holding.
- How can my chest not throb when he hugs me from behind, right?
- "I told you to stop it, now it's your turn! Hahahaha!" He's now laughing evilly.
- "Alexus stop!"
- "What are the two of you doing? You're wasting the water, stop that!" Alexus and I were both stunned by Mommy's sudden appearance.
- "You two are soaking wet, come in here and get dressed!"
- "Sorry aunt,"
- "It's you," I blamed Alexus.
- "Why me? You're the first one who started it!" he's blaming me.
- "Whatever!" I rolled my eyes over him.
- After I got dressed I went straight to the living room where Mommy and Alexus were talking.
- "Auntie, can I take Sofia to my condo?" Heasked mom's permission.
- "What are you going to do there?" Mommy's question seemed thrilling.
- "We just have something to talk about,"
- "Of course son, even if you don't bring her back to me as long as you take good care of her, it's alright with me."
- I almost lost my balance because of what I heard from mom. I can't believe that she really said those words to this crazy man!
- "Mom!" I scolded mommy, because of what she's saying— it is not good anymore. If she gave me right away, it seems like she had known Alexus for a long time.
- If mommy only knew what's that crazy man was asking for me, I don't know if she would give mercy to this desperate one.
- "I don't want to go with you Alexus. No way, never!"
- "Baby, maybe your conversation with your boyfriend is important."
- "Yes aunt, it's really important." He suddenly replied. I looked at him fiercely—can't he see that mommy and I was still talking?
- "All right, baby, go with him." My mother pushes me to go with that desperate Alexus.
- "Mom—"
- I am so annoyed right now while riding with him in his car.
- No, mom forced me to accompany him. Exactly! It's mom who forced me to be with him!
- "What are we going to do in your condo? Are you going to rape me?" I asked him straight forward.
- BEEEEP! BEEEEP!
- "Ouch!" I complained because he suddenly braked causing me to bump slightly.
- "What are you talking about?" He asked with disbelief.
- "I am just asking!"
- "I'll explain to you everything later." He made a serious promise. I just didn't say anything, maybe later because we were still in schocked—or should I say I'm still in schocked, it's a pity for my beauty if I die early, right?
- "We're here," I looked up at the tall building where we stopped.
- "Is this yours?" I asked.
- "Yeah, I owned these condos over here." He simply said.
- "Okay." I also answered him simply.
- He thought maybe he would fool me by simply saying, 'I owned these condos over here' of course I'm not the type of woman who quickly believes—unless it's proven.
- "Have a sit," he said and even offered me to sit in a sofa.
- "You're not pretending, aren't you?" I asked him.
- "I am not," he replied with a smile.
- "So now, do you agree?" He then again asked me. Does this man don't know how to understand that no matter how hard he'll tried to convince me with his offer, I won't accept it? Ugh!
- "What are you? Of course not,"
- "Okay, as what you say. Here I will get you something to drink." He went straight to his kitchen.
- Is this really a condo? The size. It's even bigger than mommy and I's house, then he's the only one here? Wow. Just wow.
- looked at the picture frames on the cabinet one by one.
- "They're probably his parents,"
- "Yes, they are."
- "Why aren't you with them?"
- "Because they are at home, I only went home once and the last time I went home was when they asked me for a grandchild."
- He bent down and said that he seemed to be just being forced into that baby thingy.
- "Oh? How about her, is she your sister?" I pointed to the separate picture frame where the two of them smiled together as they stared at each other.
- "Nope. She's Nicole, my 3 years girlfriend." I suddenly felt my chest tightened because of what he said.
- "She's a model abroad. We only meet once, maybe once a year." He answered sadly.
- "So, you have a girlfriend. Why don't you just ask her for a child, right?"
- "She's busy, and as a model she can't get pregnant. It will ruin her career."
- "Based on how you offered me a million dollars to get pregnant, you are really rich. So, what's the point of living her dreams if you can afford to raise her, right?"
- His girlfriend is also different. She already has the richest boyfriend after all, she still works and is really in another country?
- "It's her passion." He answered simply. Based on how he defends his girlfriend, he really loves her. Nicole's lucky.
- "Why are you in such a hurry to have a child? How old are you?"
- "It's not me, it's my parents."
- "Oh,"
- "How old are you again?"
- "25,"
- "You're old enough,"
- "Hey, I'm just four years older than you!"
- "Even though. How old is Nicole, again?"
- "She's 23,"
- "Oh, and still don't want to get married yet? " His face became sad again because of what I said.
- "S-sorry, did I say something bad?"
- "No, it's okay." He said with a forced smile.
- "If I agree to what you want, what will be the result for you?"
- "Of course I'll be happy, especially mama and papa, because I can give them a grandchild—and they will no longer be forced me to marry the daughter of his comparator."
- "Alexus,"
- "Yes?"
- "I will agree to be the mother of your child, as long as you marry me." Hahaha let's see what his reaction will be.
- "Is a million dollar not enough? Why do you still want a wedding? To have a big inheritance, right?"
- The words he uttered seemed sharp to me. I feel it sinking into my body one by one. It hurts that much. I just felt my tears flowing down to my cheeks.
- "I'm sorry Sofia, you know I have a girlfriend right? I love her, and she's the only woman I want to marry."
- "Then, we're done! From now on, please stop bothering me anymore! I'm begging you, please leave me alone!"
- After I said that to his face, I quickly left his condo, it was good and it was still open otherwise I might not have been able to get out so quickly.
- How dare him to tell me that? First of all, I don't look like I need his money.
- Secondly, I was just joking and wanted to see his reaction that's why I said those words to him!
- How dare him! Just how dare him!
- Don't he just dared to follow me again, or else I'll kick him on his balls, damn him!
