The contract
She entered the restaurant and was stunned by the whole place. From the beautiful furniture to the well-decorated seats. Even though she didn’t want to be there, she couldn’t deny the fact that it was beautiful.
A young waitress came towards them. She bowed her head and greeted them. “Good evening, sir; your table is ready,” the lady said before directing them towards a path.
Alex had already let go of her hand. He knew that she couldn’t escape, because she wouldn’t be able to. Ellie also followed behind him quietly, without making a sound.
The waitress opened a door to a private room and left after opening the door for them. In the middle of the room, there was a table full of different kinds of foods, fruits, and desserts.
Ellie was so surprised to see a lot of food. There were even some foods she had never tasted before. Everything looked so tantalizing to her that she felt like pouncing on the food at once, but she managed to get herself together, especially because of the guy standing in front of her.
Alex went towards a chair beside the table and sat down. He looked at the girl, who was still standing there, as if she had gotten lost. “Ain’t you going to take your seat?” He asked before taking a plate to serve himself, but instead of obeying him, Ellie said. “You haven’t answered my question yet.”
“Why are you doing this? What exactly do you want from me?” She asked, raising her voice, but when she saw that he wasn’t saying anything, She screamed again. “I’m talking to you!”
“Oh my gosh! You’re so loud.” He said, covering his ears slightly. “Can you at least eat first?” He said to her with a smile.
“I’m not hungry!” She said back to him.
“Then I guess I’m not telling you either.” He said with that same smile on his face. He knew she wouldn’t eat without him putting a little threat on her.
She could not say a word, she just looked at him in anger before taking the seat opposite him. She sat down and ate in silence.
She took and ate different kinds of dishes. Alex also put some food on her plate. She felt uncomfortable at first, but later ate without looking at him. By the time she finished eating, she was already so full.
He was so happy to see her eat without caring about him being there; even his wolf was happy. “You already know why I keep showing up in your life.” He said after cleaning his mouth with a tissue, Ellie also looked up to him. “I want the baby.” He said, staring deep into her eyes.
Silence filled the room. They were both staring deep into each other’s eyes, until Ellie finally cleared her throat and talked. “I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s possible. I’ve decided to abort the baby. It was only a nightstand, and the baby was clearly a mistake, so I think you should stop disturbing me now, or else I will charge you for stalking.” She said, looking directly at him. She was about to stand up to leave when she heard him laugh out loud.
“Oh my goodness, you’re just so amusing.” He said, laughing hysterically. He found her reply so funny that he couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “I thought you would have learned your lesson the last time, but I guess you’ve become even more stupid.” He said before picking up his phone. He dialed a number and said, “You can bring it.”
Ellie wondered who he had called; she wanted to ask him but couldn’t because of how uncomfortable she was feeling from his stare and smile.
Soon, a man, probably in his early forties, came into the room after knocking. “Good evening, sir.” The man greeted him.
“Do you have what I asked you to get?” He asked, without bothering to return the man’s greetings.
“Yes sir.” The man replied.
“Give it to her.” Alex said, staring deep into her eyes. The man also walked towards Ellie, and dropped the brown envelope in front of her. He bowed his head and left the room instantly.
“What is this?” She asked without touching the paper on the table. She was already so pissed that he was wasting her time. “Why don’t you check it first?” He replied.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
She opened the big envelope and saw that it contained a contract. She didn’t bother asking him anything; she just read through the contract. Her mouth and eyes were left agape when she started reading the conditions.
Party B will give birth to the child of Party A without attempting to harm the baby.
Party B will live in Party A’s house until she gives birth to the child.
Party B will work as Party A’s assistant till she gives birth to the baby and gets paid the amount of $25000 per month.
She didn’t bother to read any further; she turned to him and said, “What nonsense is this? What makes you think I’ll sign this?”
Alex smiled before replying. “Hmm, maybe because you don’t have any other choice but to sign it, Ms. Loren. It seems the baby also wants to come to earth. I mean, after the pills you took, nothing happened. Just sign the papers and let’s get this done with.” He said with a tired voice.
“I wonder what kind of woman wants her baby dead.” He whispered enough for her to hear.
“Don’t you dare talk to me like that? It’s none of your business! She screamed. She always loses her patience whenever she’s with him. “And why the hell should I work as your assistant?! Huh?”
“Calm down, little bunny.” He said with a smile that got her even angrier. “That is only to keep an eye on you so that you won’t harm the baby. This is a very simple matter. I’m sure you won’t want the media to find out about you having my child. He said with a provoking expression.
“Are you threatening me?!” She asked, still raising her voice.
“It was just an advice,” he said, raising his two hands in the air. “I’ll give you two days to sign the papers, and you don’t have to worry; I’ll give you anything you want after giving birth to the baby. So just make sure you sign it within two days. He said before smiling at her like a fool. Ellie didn’t say anything; she was just looking at him. Even though she wanted to just shout at him and leave, she still managed to calm herself down.

Alex dropped her in front of her house despite her disapproval. She was about to get out of his car when he suddenly grabbed her phone and punched in some numbers. It caught her off guard. She wanted to scream at him, but stopped when his phone rang, and he said, smiling. “Now I can call you.”
She got out of the car in anger. She was about to go into her apartment when she heard him say, “Good night, Ellie.”
“How dare he drop his honorifics?” She grunted before entering the house with the papers in her hands.
