” The baby obviously has a father and from the look of things, he’s willing to do anything to have both you and your baby. He loves you Miranda so you can give your baby a stable family.” Stacy said, looking her in the eye.
” You don’t understand, do you? I am already engaged to someone else, although there’s no love between us, he’s my fiance. If word got out that I am pregnant, not only will I be in trouble but the father also. I Love him, that’s why I can’t keep this baby. The three of us will never be safe. Even if my father let’s us go, that Man has a black heart, he won’t take the news lying down.” Lucia explained. How could she make them understand from her point of view? How can she explain to them that Kiel will be dead before he knows it if he was identified as the father of her child. Lucia knew there was a possibility that even the baby would be in danger. She wouldn’t be safe either.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
” You could have talked to us, Lucia. Every problem has a solution. What you need to do is tell them the truth. Only the truth will set you free.” Stacy said and the two others nodded agreeing to her words making Lucia speechless. Did her friend forget their ears somewhere before coming here? Are they just ignorant or don’t want to believe what she just said?
” She’s right Lucia. You should confront them and tell them the truth. He might be your father but he is not you, he won’t experience the life meant for you. And that Man, he’s nothing but a fiance, not a husband. It’s not like you cheated on him because I want to imagine this was an arranged marriage. If they try harming you or your baby, we are here as your sisters. We will fight against them. They might be men but we are also men in disguise.” Ava said.
” You know you have our back anytime Lucia. You should chase what makes you happy, not what makes other people happy.” Miranda added.
Lucia knew they were right. She hadn’t thought as much. The moment she knew she was expecting, she panicked and all reason flew away but now hearing their words, she developed a new spirit. A spirit to fight what it is she wanted. A spirit to keep her baby and her man. It didn’t matter who would be displeased with her decision. To hell with everyone else, not even the reputation of the family her father fought for will stand in her way of happiness. And she was sure her happiness was in his arms and with their child by their side but…
” There’s something else.” Lucia announced and all eyes turned to look at her prompting her to continue. ” Our relationship is not as simple as you think.” She revealed.
” What do you mean by not normal? Talk in human language so that we can understand.” Ava said.
” Our relationship is based on a contract.” She blurted out.
” What? He made you sign a contract? How could he?” Stacy was getting aggrieved just thinking about that. What kind of man enters into a contract with a woman? Only men whores or those purposely keeping a woman as a child making machine do that.
” You misunderstood, I made him sign the contract. We slept together and for some reason I felt like keeping him. The sex was good and that was what I was after. To safeguard my reputation, I Made him sign that contract. It’s been years and our relationship has been going well so far. We had agreed that no strings attached nor children’s involvement in our relationship.” Lucia explained and the girls’ jaws dropped.
‘ what the hell!, Was I wrong saying they only whores keep people tied down by contracts? Isn’t that as good as calling Lucia a whore? Aaaah! Am just lucky I didn’t say that out loud.’ Stacy thought.
” Are you serious? I Know that you are a bold woman and like to be in control but don’t you think that’s unfair to him? He seems like a fine man, why would he agree to such a ridiculous agreement?” Ava questioned. She was known for always saying what was in her mind without caring whether it was offensive or not.
” I was only attracted to him and how good he made me feel but I was already engaged. What could I do? That was the only way to keep him without having to worry about my secret getting out and dirtying my reputation.” Lucia defended.
” Yeah sure, keep lying to yourself. Was the sex was good? That’s all? You think sex alone is enough to keep a man tied to you? No my dear. He must have seen something else in you, maybe a future with you. That’s why a man of his calibre will be reduced to a sex thing. He can have countless women in his bed, so sex isn’t what keeps you two together. You know that very well.” Stacy said, rolling her eyes on Lucia.
” Does that mean you are also with your boy toy because you see a future with him?” Lucia retorted with a smile.
” Honestly Yes! Gabriel is not my ideal man but he’s good enough for me. He’s kind and treats me well. He lets me do whatever I want with his body. He’s all mine to possess so why should I let him go. That fateful night has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me. Now, I get to sleep cuddled. He helps me in my operations and makes me feel like never before.” Stacy replied with a straight face. She sounded like someone who finally agreed to her fate.
” Since he wants to be tied to me, I’ll tie him by my side forever. I wouldn’t exchange such good sex for anything else in this world.” Stacy added surprising the girls, even Lucia who was the most shameless could feel that that title will soon not be hers anymore.
