Chapter 2
- Bellamy walk out of the place, her tears running down as she determine in her heart she is leaving the Brooks family forever.
- She is a fool to think she might have some fairy-tale life where she gets a good and rich man and have an easy life.
- But this has remind her that she is just an orphan and will always be treated as one by the Brooks
- Belle gets into her car and drives to her Boss’ house, cleaning her face not to look too much of a mess. As she gets there, she apply a little powder to conceal the fact that she has been crying and walk into the penthouse.
- She gets to her Boss’ house which is on the highest floor and rings the bell, Belle’s heart beats fast as she waits for him to open the door.
- Clutching on to her wedding dress and pressing her lips together, she think on what she is about to do but the door is pull open before she could think much.
- Seeing the impeccable handsome face of Dominic Knight, her Boss, Belle clutch harder on to the dress forgetting she hasn’t change out of it and lean close, she stretch her neck as she is a foot and a half shorter than him.
- As her lips meet his, Belle’s heart freezes and it take her a minute to pull herself together and pull away from him, her face looking all purple and she try to breathe again staring at him.
- She stare at the shocked distraught face of Dominic and try not to hiccup.
- “I’m ready, let’s do this” she said and couldn’t push off the hiccup that comes out after.
- She wait anxiously for him for to take next step but he only stare hard at her, his face looking as stoic as ever.
- "Who is that?"
- The voice from the other end of the phone brings Dominic back to the fact that he was kissed by his secretary.
- Belle bite her lower lips and waits 'is he going to pull her in now? ' she wonder with anxious heart.
- "What are you doing?" Dominic question, an unpleasant expression rests on his diamond-shaped attractive face.
- "The deal sir" she chuckle nervously but it dry off immediately seeing how upset he looks.
- That was a dumb move. She probably shouldn’t have done it, what was she thinking?
- She bite her lips hard and wait for him to say something but he only squint his face confused at her attitude.
- "The deal is for you to carry my baby not kiss me" he let out, his commanding visage killing her.
- "Don't we need to have...sex?" Belle's voice trail off as the last word come out of her lips.
- Dominic rubs his temple as he try to fathom what exactly is happening with his supposedly calm and professional secretary.
- ‘Are you drunk?” He arched a brow and Belle could see he is displeased.
- His eyes survey her down and she follow after his gaze, realizing she is still in her awful wedding dress. Bellamy feel more embarrassed and stupid guessing what misunderstanding that could give.
- She walk into the house with him on his order and could not help but glance at the impeccable taste of her Boss. The whole living room is designed in black interiors.
- She is too busy gazing around and did not quickly notice him already seated and waiting for her. Bellamy quickly take a seat on another sofa, a good distance from him and keep her gaze down.
- Dominic takes another minute to stare at her trying to figure what happened and why she would tell him that she was getting married but come back after to tell him that she has accepted his deal.
- He try to ignore her scent which is making his nose twitch and the uncomfortable feeling force a deadpan expression on his face as he try to suppress it.
- The silence is killing Bellamy but she could not dare speak a word out seeing his countenance, it seem to her that he is still upset about the kiss.
- “Let me get this right, you accept to carry my child? And you kissed me for that reason’ he said like he was trying to contemplate it and rubs his temple slightly.
- Bellamy swallows down hard, she must have been too forward. She could not think straight after what has happened about thirty minutes ago and could only think of him and his proposal.
- It is her jackpot out of the Brooks family.
- Suddenly, a short chuckle escape his lips and Bellamy widen her eyes, astonish at the rare sight of her Boss actually laughing but knowing he is mocking her, she withdraw her shoulders back, feeling embarrassed again.
- Dominic who realized his words might have been misinterpreted by Bellamy could not help the laugh, remembering how she has shown up, telling him she was ready and kiss him.
- “Let me rephrase, I want you to be my surrogate” he said, his face looking calm now but Bellamy’s isn’t.
- She take a moment to process his words and it hits her slowly. There, she sink down more in total embarrassment of herself. How could she not think that was what he meant?
- Now she has kissed him and even told him they needed to have sex…ugh! She scream in her head and her face reds up. She look down unable to bear looking into his eyes ever again.
- Dominic get up feeling she has been tortured enough for one night and go into his bedroom to bring out the contract he has already prepared yesterday.
- “Sign this” he stretch to her and Belle takes the papers.
- She go through it while imagining that he is staring at her and urgently go through hoping to escape soon. The contract is short.
- She is to carry his child and disappear after giving birth with the sum of Five million euros as settlement.
- Bellamy pick up the pen to sign and hesitate for a second, she has come to him hoping to get something to distract her from the distress of tonight. However now, she is not sure whether she want to do this.
- She will be giving the baby to him and forget about it. Can she really abandon a child she bears in her womb?
- Bellamy wondered and Dominic watch her as the pan stand still on the paper, he assume the money is too small and grab the paper from her hand to increase it.
- “There” he drop again and Bellamy stare at the new change.
- Ten million euros! Sorry child but I am sure your father will take very good care of you.
- Bellamy thought to herself and put her signature on the document, when she is done, she hand it over to him and get up believing it is over for now.
- She is not getting any sex.
- She walk out of the penthouse and stop to let out her breathes which she has muffled whilst with him, she rubs her face up to her hair in frustration at how tonight went.
- Still wanting to vent at her failed wedding, Bellamy get into the car hoping to find a good clubhouse but as she ignite the car, her phone chime to alert her of a message.
- “Don’t go drinking tonight” the message from her Boss reads.
- She glance up quickly wondering if he is watching from the lofty heights of his penthouse apartment or perhaps a psychic to have known her intentions.
- Ten millions is at stake, so she drive back to her apartment.
