The Ceo’s proposal

The insensitivity of that guy is something that puzzles me and at the same time bothers me, when he made me the proposal I thought… “inhale deeply” I thought he would be nice to me since, after all we are accomplices of a farce for a month, and what worries me is to get pregnant by that guy, and although that bothers him since according to him, I would look ridiculous if I were not pregnant by him and his family would suspect that this is a farce

And even though we have been going on for a month with this farce I know that I must already have some pregnancy symptoms, but in reality I don’t have any, I even got my period, the weird thing is that it didn’t last more than two days and of course that this happened is something that made my relationship with him worse since the lie seems to go from bad to worse.

-Miss, aren’t you going to eat anything? -I raise my eyes to see the maid I feel she looks at me in a questioning way -Are you feeling well?

-No, I am not hungry.

I left the table since it was obvious that I shouldn’t wait for him, he wouldn’t make it to dinner another night, according to the maids, he never eats at home, he always eats outside and he doesn’t eat breakfast regularly at his mother’s house, but since she left on a trip, he does it at his office.

Today is Friday night so I stayed in the living room and turned on the huge plasma screen that apparently no one uses it, not even the servants, “I really can’t believe it’s just another decoration”.

When I turned it on I frowned as it doesn’t even have a streaming platform to watch anything, news is not my thing and the local channels don’t have good broadcasts “how does someone so rich not have at least Netflix or Hbo?”

-Excuse me -I stop one of the employees who was holding with a basket of sheets -Doesn’t Mr…. Eros have any pay platform.

-Miss, he doesn’t spend any time at home, he is only dedicated to his work. He says it’s a waste of time and that time is invested in valuable work that generates income for….

-God, what a greedy man, he is rich, why does he want to increase his fortune so much if when we die the money stays and is distributed to the vipers that wait for the death of someone like him? -I’m sorry, it’s just….

-You’re right. -the woman smiles sideways -I hope the gentleman changes with the arrival of the baby, maybe he can appreciate more what is around him and …. Mr. Homsworth.

When the woman says his name she steps aside and he enters without taking his eyes off her, when he sees me sitting down he orders her to leave and she leaves almost running as if she was afraid he had heard her, he watches the TV on so I ask him what he was dying to continue watching, series like Lucifer, I love that series, I used to watch it with a friend on her cell phone but I stopped watching it since she moved.

-Why don’t you do something more productive than watching TV at home like a slacker.

-I’d rather be a slacker than a bitter, greedy, workaholic who could die of cardiac arrest at any moment from so much stress.

-I beg your pardon? -he said with surprise

-Don’t be angry about the truth.

-The truth? -The only truth here is that time is running against us and you can’t even get pregnant, so far I’m thinking that you are even useless for that.

-What? -I felt indignant at how far he was going with his cruelty -The only useless one here is you -I was tired of his reproaches -I know I can get pregnant because I was pregnant once before, but what about Mr. Honsworth? Has he ever gotten a woman pregnant because at his age I don’t think that’s ever happened.

-At my age. Really?

-It’s the truth. -I said simply -I prefer to take this opportunity to see and do what I want since I only have eight months left… -I feel a twinge in my belly, but then it goes away. Eros asks me if I’m okay but doesn’t seem that worried -I’m fine. It’s just the cramps…. -I lean my body forward when I feel the pain again – “damn.”

-We’d better go to a doctor.

-I told you I don’t need one….

The pain increases making me say this time it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go to the doctor. When we got to the clinic I couldn’t take it and ended up passing out, when I woke up it was already Saturday morning, when I looked down at my feet I was shocked when I saw that he was asleep in the chair.

“What…?”

I couldn’t believe it, seriously he stayed all night here, next to me? I can’t help but smile as it seems he’s not as insensitive as I expected him to be. Seeing my cell phone next to me, I took it and took a picture of him, seeing it I gave him a close up since he really looked very handsome even sleeping, “too bad we are not even a little bit compatible.”

-You woke up. -seeing his purple shirt somewhat unbuttoned my face reddens as it’s as if I had in front of me a model from the product magazines mom sells and my mind makes crazy illusions -You sleep and snore too much.

“As always he says good morning to me in his own way” I tilted a sarcastic smile because he always has to put me in a bad mood, at first I was affected by what he said, but after thinking things through I made myself see that he is no one to treat me that way and that we are in this together.

-Ah, our patient woke up. -A woman came in, she looked like a doctor, but she was too attractive. -Well, the tests indicate that the pain and fainting are due to the state you are in, so I recommend that you rest as much as possible for the next three months until the baby has developed in good condition and avoid conflict as it may worsen the situation.

My face completely uncrosses when she mentions “baby” Eros asks her if she was sure I was pregnant and she nods.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
