I actually didn"t think if that as a possibility?, now just what was I going to say to get myself out of this mess?, should I lie?, would he still be this nice if I tell him the truth?."stop snuggling her dad, she"s mine". Mr. Gorgeous s.n.a.t.c.hed me out of his dad"s hold. Even if I felt like a toy two kids were fighting over, I was relieved but the feeling didn"t last long when I heard my demon"s voice. " What would you do when he asks again?, it"s not like you can keep avoiding that question, he might get suspicious ". I shuddered in fear as I sat on the chair Mr. Gorgeous pulled out for me. The dining room looked more like a conference room for board meetings. Others also took their respective positions but Mrs. Brown was no where in sight. Lunch was like a feast, porridge, pancakes, pasta, rice and some intercontinental dishes were displayed on the table, I didn"t have too much of an appet.i.te but I ate everything Mr. Gorgeous placed on my plate out of politeness.
" So Vee Vee, why don"t you introduce yourself properly to us all". I was in the middle of swallowing a morsel of pancake when Kenneth suddenly brought me to the spotlight, the food immediately got stuck to my throat. Even Mr. Gorgeous couldn"t help me this time.
I swallowed hard and tried to compose myself.
"I"m Vivian Benson, I"m from the neighboring city, my mother is late and I came to this city due to certain circ.u.mstances". I tried not to lie, but also not to reveal my dark past, hence the lame description of myself.
" Well that"s interesting". Kelly smiled slyly at me, and I suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"What city are you from?" – Kelly
"Lagos"
"Who is your father?" – Mr. Brown
"His name is Edward Sir"
"Why do you look familiar?, like I"ve seen you in some video before". I choked at the pasta that filled my mouth, Kelly definitely knew something.
" Oh baby, what type of video?". The s.l.u.tty Bella chimed in, like it was planned. I exaggerated my cough to prevent the situation from going haywire. There was nothing else I could do that point. One more sentence and I would be kicked out of this house, not that I wanted to stay, but I still haven"t told Mr. Gorgeous the truth so it might be a heavy blow and his reaction might be similar to his family"s reaction if they found out. I intentionally reached for a gla.s.s of water and knocked it over my dress, then made the excuse of going to the bathroom and escaped the situation in haste.
I wasn"t used to the house and I wasn"t with company so I missed my way and somehow found myself standing in Mrs. Brown"s presence. Oh dear, can today be any worse. The way she looked at me made my left eye twitch.
"Vee or whatever you call yourself, I am warning you to stay clear of the Browns, you don"t want to know what happened to that b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s mother, I won"t hesitate in the least to make you share the same fate, now be a good girl and do as I say, or else....". She roughly pushed me aside and strode off. Just what in the world have I gotten myself into?, I sighed as I continued my search to the bathroom. I knew very well that the woman wasn"t laying empty threats, but what I did not know was how I could possibly find a solution.
I finally found a bathroom, I dabbed the damp area of my dress with tissue and stared wishfully into the mirror. Why is my life so complicated, from birth up until now, I"ve never stopped having one problem after another. I rubbed my abdomen fondly and decided that my baby wouldn"t share the same fate as I.
" My my Vee, you look more alluring close up, who would have thought a p.o.r.n star would ever be able to get married to such a respectable b.a.s.t.a.r.d?, ironic right?". Kelly"s voice made me jump in fright. He walked in majestically, adjusting his million dollar suit with a dangerous smile on his face. OK so I wasn"t mistaking again. He knows who I am.
"Seeing the priceless expression on your face now is worth all the trouble I had to go through, digging up dirt about you. Anyways don"t be scared, I wouldn"t do anything to hurt you, or your baby if you cooperate with me, but if you are not willing to comply, I sure have other methods". His smile suddenly turned cold as he cornered me to the wall, barricading me with his two strong arms. His face was too close to mine and I could hardly breath. h.e.l.l, where the f.u.c.k is Mr. Gorgeous when I needed him the most?. I could only tremble as he encircled my waist in his right hand while the other hand traced his fingers around my face.
"Don"t be scared kitty, I know you"re a f.u.c.king fierce tiger in bed. I could bet my b.a.l.l.s that you"d be better than Bella". His lips was inching closer to mine slowly, I needed to buy time. I would not be defiled by this a.s.shole.
" Wh...wha.....what...do...y–you....want?"
"Well, let"s begin with the fact that I want you, I want your baby, and I want you to get out of Henry"s life for good, I know you"re in this for the money, I"ll settle you handsomely if you cooperate with me. Both in cash and kind". My head was beginning to spin, G.o.d why can"t I have a normal life, why does everyone see me as a gold digging b.i.t.c.h, I just want the best for my baby, OK?.
"I"m......do.....ing.....this....for.... my... ba....baby" I was slowly slipping out of consciousness, did n.o.body notice how long I"ve been gone?
"Oh, your baby will be safe in my........". Someone dragged Kelly from behind and punched his face hard, I couldn"t make out what the person"s face looked like as I fell unconscious.
