The Ceo’s proposal

-Don’t be stupid. -Since that event I realized that being soft is useless, not when you fell in love with a man who lives surrounded by vipers. -You know as well as I do that you are not legally married to Eros. Do you know why? Because it was all a sham, a contract that he and I had signed before.

-What the hell?

-But by ironies of life, and thanks to you. We realized that we were made for each other. So I’ll tell you in the nicest way. I’m going to defend my family and if some bitch from the past wants to take it away from me, she’s going to regret it with her life. What you did… it won’t stay that way, Capichi. Now, get out of my house.

-You heard my fiancee Melissa. -Out of our home. Get out of our home. And you too, Karla. Get out.

-You can’t kick me out. I’m your mother.

-You forget what I told you before. I warned you that if what you said about Bianca wasn’t true, you would no longer be my mother. You conspired against the mother of your grandson, my fiancee, and Melissa was your accomplice, Now, get out of my house, both of you!

They both gave a little jump of fright on their places, they saw me for the last time and Melissa stormed off so furious that she slammed the front door, when her mother came downstairs with her belongings.

-Time to get the hell out of this place, Stacy, get my stuff.

-Ah, ah. -I said in refusal. -Stacy will stay with me.

-Who do you think you are, you deadbeat… -I didn’t finish speaking as I made her swallow her garbage with a slap.

-You better respect me, lady. Or else we’ll get off on the wrong foot. Stacy and I talked it over without her fucking noticing, she’s too good a girl for you, so she’s working for Eros from now on.

She grabbed her luggage and stormed out in a rage for the slap I gave her, only telling her son that she will regret her decision by not obeying him. When it was just the three of us, I took a deep breath as my nerves kicked in how I had the nerve to do something like that. I don’t know, I just know that I had to give myself my place.

-I didn’t know that fierceness about you.

-It’s about time everyone knows that underestimating me is a mistake.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Eros stares at me and asks me if I didn’t hit my head since I wasn’t the same as before. But who could be the same after they try to get rid of you as if you were merchandise and even, don’t care about the life of an innocent.

As the days went by, the doctor said that she would give birth earlier than expected and that we should be prepared as she would go into labor any moment, Eros started working from home most of the time, and only went to the office when the situation required it.

I took my college entrance exam and now I just had to wait for the results, I didn’t want anyone’s influence, not even my fiance’s, I didn’t want anyone from his family to throw in my face that he was the one who helped me to get far.

-I told you I had better intervene.

-Do you doubt my ability?

-You know I didn’t say that. I’m just saying that if I had gone with you, you wouldn’t be thinking about whether or not you passed the exam.

-It’s exciting actually, besides I know I’ll be able to get in… you’ll see. I’d rather be like this than get involved so that later your whole family will reproach me to my face that thanks to you, I achieved my dreams.

I am persistent and very stubborn and proud too so I don’t care if I pass or not, I would try until I get in just with my strength and intelligence. I have not seen Melissa again and even less Eros’ father, but of course we received Melissa’s lawyers for the alleged defamation and of course Eros defended me saying that if he was going to sue me I would also sue for usurpation and kidnapping and we would see who loses.

Since then, about a week, we have not received any more visits from any lawyer. When Eros went out for short trips that were not back to back, I stayed with Stacy and Eros’ father. It was either that or the five bodyguards he wanted to put under my protection. Yes, he has become paranoid since what happened and sometimes… it’s suffocating as he invades my personal space.

It was only a matter of time before I felt the contractions.

-Mr. Eros, I have to go and my partner will be here soon.

-Yes, of course it’s ok.

When I saw the guy I took off my glasses and I was sure of what I was seeing and yes, I’m not mistaken, he is a paramedic.

-What is a paramedic doing in our house?

-Well, at any moment you are about to give birth so we have to be cautious and be prepared for when the time comes for our daughter to be born.

-What?

-And from now on you must control your appetite and eat less fat, so I hired a chef who is very instructed to prepare healthy vegetables and salads for both of us.

-You’ve gone crazy.

I get up from my seat in annoyance. He had definitely gone too far with this, I’m going to eat whatever I want, plus he can’t take away my fat for greens, veggies or Whatever, I’m going to die in childbirth if I follow his rules.

-Where are you going?

-I’m going to eat food with a lot of fat, meatballs, spaghetti, pizza, baked chicken….

-No, no, no, no… wait, I’ll go with you, I’ll tell the chef to prepare you something healthy right now.

-Eros. -I said in warning. -Your daughter, she wants fried, fatty, and I’m dying for a baked chicken. So don’t even think I’m going to eat vegetables just because you like them, oh, and I don’t want paramedics in this house, got it.

I’m just being cautious, because she gets mad at me, I can’t kick the paramedics out, we may need them but she’s upset because they’re still in the house, she even sent me to sleep on the couch, I’m worried about her well being, I don’t understand why she doesn’t understand.
