CHAPTER 26
For a moment I thought this was some kind of joke, but the one I thought was my client keeps talking and when I was beginning to believe it was true, he starts to laugh at which I am even more puzzled because I had no idea what is going on here.
-I’m sorry, it’s just… you looked too anxious so I thought it would be good to play a joke on you to relax you. But I think I managed to scare you off instead.
-Well, -I swear by the holiest thing I have that I felt like kicking you out of my house -I’m not used to this kind of pranks so ….
-Relax. -He pats my back. -Let’s talk business.
I was just finishing explaining to my new client what we could change some structures when Stacy knocks asking if we had ordered pizza. I was about to answer no when my client, Lucio replies that he ordered it on his way here.
We left the office saying we would finish later. He receives the pizza and when I see the same guy from the restaurant I frown as his presence is unnecessary to me.
-How do the women in this house feel? -I kiss her chastely with a smile making her smile in happiness.
-We are fine. -she answers. -I’ll go get some of the lasagna my mother prepared, I’m hungry.
-I told you it’s not good so much fat….
-I can’t hear you.
She leaves so I won’t stop her from eating more fat and that worries me as it could affect her and the baby.
-Beautiful girl, isn’t she? -But believe me, women like her will never be within your reach.
-Do you think so, sir?
-Of course they will. Although I must say that there are assholes who have a perfect woman in their hands, but they are such idiots that they trade her for a slut. -I said and it seems that my words made him angry, “Luckily I had the chance to find Bianca and make her the mother of my children. Ah, Lucio, you are invited to our wedding.
-It will be a magnificent wedding, I have seen the weddings that your family organizes and without a doubt they are the best.
-But I heard that your fiancee was kidnapped when you were about to get married, surely someone doesn’t want to see you together, don’t you think?
-The boy is right, you should be cautious next time.
-Well, how about we continue talking about your project, Lucius. Stacy. Take care of him.
Eros locked himself in his office for an hour and when he came out I heard someone ringing the doorbell, I was about to answer it, but I saw that one of the employees opened it for me, when I got to the foyer I stopped at the foot of the stairs when I saw Leo.
-Ah, Bianca. -The young man says they placed an order here.
-How strange,” I stare at him and then my eyes look at Stacy, “Surely Eros ordered it. You can go ask him.
-Sure.
When Stacy comes upstairs I feel my ex not taking his eyes off me, tired of having his eyes on me I told him to stop looking at me like that.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
-I’m sorry, it’s just… you look… different.
-Of course, can’t you see I’m pregnant.
He laughs at my sarcasm and tells me that I really have changed, but ignoring him was better since I didn’t want to engage in a conversation with someone from my past, but he seems to be trying to get me out of the conversation.
-I know you are upset about what I did to you….
-That’s right… How is your mistress? Surely she must be pregnant by now.
-No, no… she can’t have children.
-I guess that’s called karma. Well unlike you, I am pregnant and at any moment my fiance and I will be able to have our daughter isabela with us. She will be born into a rich family and of course with parents who will always love her. And all thanks to you, because if you hadn’t done that to me, I would never have had the chance to meet a real man.
-I heard you were kidnapped.
-Bad weed, never dies.
-You know… I was worried about you.
I hear someone coming over chatting with Leo, his client quickly walks over and grabs the pizza, Leo can’t take his eyes off me and Eros’ client notices.
-How do the women in this house feel? -Eros kisses me chastely with a smile making me grin like a fool.
-We are fine. -He replies. -I’ll go get some of the lasagna my mother made, I’m hungry.
-I told you it’s not good so much fat….
-I can’t hear you!
Getting out of there was the only thing I wanted and now that I am making sure he is leaving, I felt a huge relief as seeing Leo gave me a very bad feeling, it’s like we are not safe being with him, he was not the same as when I knew him when I was a teenager.
It was boring being alone, stacy had to finish with the baby’s room arrangements and Eros was on a business and although I wanted some company I couldn’t interrupt him and ruin his business, it’s what he loves and that’s how I knew him and… I love it when he is working, I love to see him so serious while he is concentrating on his work.
The doorbell rang again at the entrance, I heard someone went to open the door. I sat there watching the garden from the window when an employee handed me a yellow envelope, I asked her where it came from, but she said that when she opened it there was no one outside, but it had my name on it.
I opened it to see what it was “surely it was a surprise from Eros”. When I saw the document inside I froze when I read the title “Full custody”.
It is sent by a lawyer, it is legitimate, tears start to come out of my eyes as I read how it says exactly that I will have no rights over the baby, the more I read the more I feel a pain appear as something slips between my legs. I clench my hands as my screams get louder as I finish reading and see Eros’ signature.
-Bianca!
When I see him enter the kitchen and he tries to touch me I push him angrily.
-Don’t touch me!… AHh!…. -I hold on to the bar….
-Let me help you…
-Because!… You want to take my daughter away from me!
