Claiming her babies

MONICA POV

IN THE AFTERNOON

” Where do they expect him to get a woman to get married to? Mr. Nicholas has always shown his distaste for commitment but forcing him to find a woman that he will get married to and have kids within two months is ridiculous” A deep male voice uttered and I became curious. I heard two men whispering, sitting on the table in front of me and curiosity made me begin to eavesdropContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“And he had a plan to escape all these but it looks like his plan wasn’t going to fall in place after all”

“What do you mean?” The young man who was dressed casually said.

“Model Andrea was here in the morning and Mr Nicholas wanted to make her his bride but she was already engaged and plans to get married soon”

“He wanted to make her his bride?” I could hear the shock in the other man’s voice “Does that mean he now has feelings for her?”

“Of course not. All of his plans were just to get the directors off his back” the other voice explained.

“Oh, now I understand, ” the other voice responded. “Let’s quickly go to him before he screams our names and leaves us like he always does when pissed” I saw them standing up and I instantly turned my face and pretended to be sipping my coffee on the table I sat on in the restaurant.

Their footsteps fade away slowly. Connecting the dots, I finally realized that this could be a chance for me. I wouldn’t be able to provide a good life for this child if I eventually give birth to the child and I needed a way to do that. I realized that Mr Nicholas made a VIP reservation and I waited patiently for about an hour before I saw him coming out.

I instantly rushed to stand in front of him and I wasn’t even close to him when three security guards stood in front of me, obstructing my view.

Mr Nicholas just walked past me, didn’t spare me a glance but walked past me with his hands in his pants pocket.

“Mr Nicholas” I yelled as all eyes turned to me but I didn’t care. I didn’t know what to do and I desperately needed his attention. He paused on his track and turned slowly as his cold and piercing gaze fell on me. I swallowed hard and anxiously, avoiding his eyes. “I can help you” I uttered the first thing that came to my mind.

Mr Nicholas chuckled and that chuckle instantly turned into a loud laughter and I instantly felt embarrassed. I didn’t know why he was laughing or what I might have said that amused him. “You?” He said, looking at me in disgust from head to toe “Help me? Who do you think you’re”

Mr Nicholas walked up to where I stood and his presence caused chills to run down my spine. I gathered courage and rushed my words without looking at him “I know you need help with keeping your company and I can help with that”

His amused and piercing look instantly turned serious and he took a quick look at me again from head to toe “Bring her in” he said as he walked back to the VIP room he earlier walked out of.

I fumbled with my fingers nervously as I walked behind Nicholas with the two gentlemen I saw discussing earlier. “Where did you hear that from?”

“I don’t think that matters now. What matters now is that_” I couldn’t complete my statement when he interrupted me.

“Answer me” His sharp and distant voice sounded loudly in the room.

“I…. I heard it from some men” I responded.

I could feel Mr Nicholas’s gaze on the two young men I heard talking earlier and I instantly felt pity for them.

“Leave us” he ordered and in less than two seconds, no one was in the room except me and him.

He rose to his feet, his back facing me as he seemed to be thinking about something. I started checking him out and I must say I was stunned. I looked at him in awe as I stared at the drop-dead gorgeous and charming young man in front of me. He was alluring with his broad shoulders and gorgeous blue eyes.

“Are you done staring” his question jolted me back to reality and I composed myself.

“I can help you,” I said, not knowing what to say to hide my embarrassment.

“Help with what?” His voice asked.

” I know you need a woman and I can help you with that. We could have an agreement and nobody would know it was planned”

“I don’t need a woman just so you know. What I need is someone I could fake a marriage with and have my company all to myself. Can you do that?” I nodded my head in agreement ” I need words”

“Yes, I can” I responded instantly.

“And what do you want? What’s your gain in all these? Surely there must be something you want from all these” He asked curious to know why this whole plan.

“Yes I want something in return,” I said

“Just as I suspected,” he said, raising his eyebrows as he took a seat and folded his arms on his chest, staring at. “Let’s hear it?” I instantly proceeded to take the seat opposite him and had successfully achieved that when his words made me freeze on my spot ” And who told you to sit?”

I was speechless as I stared at this man in shock. My back was arching and my legs hurt from standing but I just tolerated him and gently stood up from the seat. “I’m sorry about that”

“Speak,” he said.

“I want a place where I and my child would be protected. I want my child to grow knowing he has a father and a mother.” I started sadly as memories of everything that had happened for the last few days flooded my mind.

For a few seconds, he looked at me suspiciously. The silence was what accompanied my ears and then his gaze went to my stomach “Are you pregnant”. His eyes looked at my stomach as he made this statement out of the blue.

“Yes I am” I responded quietly.

“What!” He exclaimed ” And you want me to take care of your child?” My world came crashing down at his words. I felt like a failure and my face dropped.

“Yes please” I whispered sadly as tears began gathering in my eyes. “I just need to provide a good life for my child”

“Then you would have thought of that before opening your legs for any random piece of shit and allowing that bastard in your womb to come into this world”

I didn’t know what came over me but the next thing I knew, my right palm came in contact with his left cheek. My eyes widened in realization as fear instantly gripped me.

“I’m sorry. I don’t mean to_” I uttered but he interrupted instantly.
