The Contract That Binds

Contract

As I proceeded everything that was in my mind. Morgan was looking at me. Even though I know that she won't hesitate even a bit if I told her I don't want this. But still, it had been the discussion over the past few weeks.

I had insisted to Morgan that I will leave my studies and work too. So that we can manage to earn for the three of us (me, Morgan, and the kid inside me)

Morgan didn't like the situation and the fact that I will be leaving my studies.

But now we won't have to sacrifice if I marry this man for the next nine months.

Everyone was staring at me while I was lost in my thoughts.

I want to take this chance but I can't take the risk.

So I asked, "why should we believe you?"

His smirk only widened "I thought you would never ask" before he turned toward his minions "Kevin!" He said to the third guy. The one who was being 'KIND' the other day.

Kevin took out a document from the case he had with him and gave it to Lucifer. Who then placed the document in front of me.

Morgan inhaled sharply when she saw it. I immediately found out why. when I got a look at the document. It is a contract.

It's a marriage contract.

I eyed it for a while before I picked it up and read through it. As Lucifer has mentioned, everything was written in the contract. All I have to do is sign it then I will become his wife officially for the next nine months. It looked so tempting that eventually words left my mouth without knowing.

"I'll sign it," I said.

Morgan looked at me with disbelief. While Lucifer and his minions were smirking.

"But!!" I said pointing a finger.

He looked at me and then at my pointed finger with amusement. Waiting for me to continue.

"I want to know what's your gain in this," I asked.

Lucifer narrowed his eyes as he took out a pen and walked up to me.

"I don't abandon what's mine," he said

Looking into his eyes. I took the pen from him and signed the contract.

After that, we discussed everything and Lucifer told me to inform him whenever I'm ready. After that, they were gone.

I noticed that Kevin had been eyeing Morgan all the time, but whenever she looked at him, he would look away.

But that's a story for another time.

For now. I am tired.

I was about to go upstairs to my room when I saw Morgan sitting near the window on the love seat, once mom had sat.

Morgan looked very mature for her twenty-five years old self when she is like this. She reminds me of my mom.

I walked toward her without a word. I lay in her lap. She didn't question anything, knowing how I feel right now.

"Morgan!" I whispered with my eyes closed.

"Yeah, sweetie?" She asked me to massage my scalp like mom used to do.

"I miss mom terribly and if it wasn't for the fact that you hadn't found me, I don't know what I would have done'' I told her. My eyes were still closed.

" Sweetie! It's you who found me, you filled my life with joy" She said in a voice that made me open my eyes. I saw she was crying.

'I'm~m, sorry, I'll miss you" I said as we hug each other.

I think it's a long journey, so let's see what we got there.

After packing my stuff, the next evening. I was ready to go. As promised, Lucifer's minions, Max and Kevin were standing out of my door with a chauffeur. When I came outside, Max immediately took my luggage from me and start putting it in the car.

"Is it possible that instead of today, I'll come tomorrow?" I asked Kevin.

He raised his brows in confusion before asking "Why?"

"Umm Morgan is suffering a fever. I-I don't want to leave her alone like this!" I said nervously.

Morgan has been crying all night thinking that she won't be able to see me again for the next few months, which caused her a high fever. I had insisted that she let me look after her. But she was dead-set.

I noticed that at the mention of Morgan, Kevin's eyes twitched a little. His next words shocked me.

"Don't worry Ms. Kendace, I'll look after her, You can drive with Max. Lucifer is waiting for you!" Kevin said and walked past me into my house.

Is everyone here have a mental illness for fu*k sake? I thought before climbing into the car. Max was already inside the driver's seat. I remember how dirty mouth Max is, so I put my headphones on, intending to ignore him for the next of the drive. He took the clue and didn't utter a word.

**

The drive to Lucifer's mansion took an hour. I hadn't noticed before but the security around here is very tight. Well, Mafias and their eras.

I climbed out of the car. I walked behind the car to pick my luggage up. But before I can take it. Max interrupted me.

"Leave it, I'll send it to your room." He said without looking at me.

I was okay with that, for now, I just want to prepare for the next. I'm also going to puke eventually because I have become very sensitive to smells.

The doctor has said it's common during pregnancy.

I walked inside the long yard, trying to take some of nature's energy when suddenly I heard a whining sound of someone, it was becoming close as I walked to the end of the yard that's between. The garden and the entrance of the large mansion.

The sight that met me was tainting. Many of Lucifer's men were standing there. Circling a begging man. And Lucifer stood there pointing the gun at him.

All words choked inside my throat as he pulled the trigger.

I didn't look at the now dead man. But the crimson color was impossible to notice when it flows out of the body.

When Lucifer turned, noticing me for the first time, I suddenly have the urge to puke so I ran inside the mansion, into the only room I know. I reached the bathroom in time for me to puke.

Tears burn my eyes as I heaved everything inside my stomach out. I felt a hand holding my hair out of my face. I was familiar with that hand. But I was too weak to argue.

When I was done heaving. I washed my face. Finding enough energy to shake away the hand on my back as I turned to glare at the handsome killer.

"Leave me alone" I hissed.

He just stared at me like I'm talking in a language he couldn't quite understand.

"I said~ ahh" I was about to say when he picked me causing me to yelp. I hit on his chest hard, again and again, trying to wiggle out of his hold. But he didn't leave me until he placed me on the bed.

I instantly coward away from him.

"You need to rest," He said without waiting for my answer he walked out of the room.

Huh?
