Sake of Love (Billionaire's obsession)

Roshana’s P.O.V

I have arranged for abortion without telling anyone. The next day was my abortion day. I felt sad, touching my belly, I spoke to myself, “I really want to have this child, but I am afraid of this society. I cannot take any bad names. I should make my mother proud and if she comes to know this she may feel bad for having such a daughter. When a baby comes to the world, the people around should celebrate the baby. This baby may suffer if I had her and I don’t have the courage to deliver a baby without anyone’s help”

I was not sure whether I was going to do the right thing or not. I had no idea and really needed to speak to someone. No matter what my mother would say, I have decided to tell my mother and dialed her number.

After a long ring, I heard,” Hello, my darling. How are you?”

“I am fine,  mom. How are you and your health?”

“I am fine, “I was happy to hear her voice, but I felt terrible when the thought hit me that I should tell her about the pregnancy.

“mom I need to confess something.”

She was silent.

“Mom I am pregnant”.

After a minute of silence, she asked in a gentle voice, “What have you decided?”.

I did not expect this question from my mother. I expected that she would be extremely mad at me and cursed me for having s*x before marriage. She should be screaming at that time on the other side of the phone. But she was surprisingly quiet and asking me what I had decided.

“I have decided to abort”.

“Don’t do that. you always say that you are not going to get married. have this child, don’t abort and bring up the child with good morals.”

For a minute I stood speechless with my eyes wide open. To be frank I did not expect my mother would say something like this. I was in shock and could not say another word.

"It's okay honey. Don’t think much. Arrange a visa for me. I will go to LA and take care of you” she added and hung up.

“Is it really my mother or Am I dreaming or something? How come she is so calm and did not growl at me for this.” I was totally astonished. I was extremely happy after speaking to my mother. Moreover, my mother said okay to this child and I could have the baby. Yay. As soon as I hung up the phone, I called the hospital and canceled my abortion appointment. 

After a month, my mother arrived in Los Angeles. We both had a very good and happy time in LA. After a long time, I felt like home there.

I badly wanted a baby girl but had a baby boy on December 20th and my mother named him as ‘Adrian’. After Adrian became 2 years old, my mother left LA.

My life was so simple and happy with Adrian. Adrian was so charm, cute, and smart. I always thought that he must have got his face and appearance from his biological father. My whole world became Adrian. I didn't throw my interest into another guy because I was busy bringing up Adrian and in my work. I felt Adrian was enough for my entire life to be happy.

Adrian became five years old so quickly. Nothing much happened in these years except the fact that Hannah found her soul mate and was in a relationship. Suddenly Hannah got disappeared for the last 3 years. Her phone was not reachable, and she also did not contact me in mail, text, or call. I convinced myself that she might be busy in her life.

Recently my mother got diabetes and she needed someone near to her to take care. Though she never mentioned and always says she was okay, I knew she was not okay. I should be with her. I missed her too and I wanted to be with her. I did not feel this LA as a home, so I had decided to move to my hometown. I resigned my job in LA, I knew my mother would be angry about this. But I want to be with her, and no matter what.

I packed all my things and left LA. My mother was expecting me at the Airport, when I was coming out of the airport, my mother was speaking to a man as if they know for a long time. I could not see his face clearly since they were far.

I waived my hand when she saw me, she approached us and hugged us. She took Adrian in her arms and became so delighted to see us.

“Oh dear, it’s been so long. I missed you so much” we hugged again and boarded the taxi.

“Mom, who is the person that you were speaking?”

“who?”, I noticed a sudden change in her face as if she was hiding something from me.

“I saw you were speaking to someone”

“oh, he just came and asked for some address.”

I knew she was lying but I did not insist on her to say and ignored it. We went home, and I felt so h a p p y after a long time.

At the dinner table,

“Mom, I resigned my job,”

“what? Why?”

“I did not like there. I want to stay with you”

She smiled and told. “You know we are dependent on your money right”

“I know mom, I will find a job here”

She smiled bitterly and nodded, “okay”.

Soon, I started to search for a job. Since that was not a good time for the economy of the country, people had stopped hiring process in almost all the companies. I contacted many companies for any job opportunities, but everyone’s reply was the same, “the hiring process was stopped for time being”. This economy’s drop would take at least six months to mend. I was spending all the money from my savings for Adrian's school fees and my mother’s medicine. I did not find any job in my profession.

…

After a few days, I went to Hannah’s apartment to see her, but she was not there. I asked her neighbors, they said she had moved years back and they did not know where she was living. Her number was still switched off and she didn’t even respond to any of my emails. I know one thing for sure that she was not in town and nothing more. Where did she go without telling me? I missed her a lot. Hannah’s parents died when she was young, and she had no relatives as well. I could not contact anyone. I did not know the guy who Hannah was dating. I was helpless and left her place sadly.

One afternoon, I was walking to Adrian’s school to pick him up after an interview with a small company, I got a call from Adrian’s primary teacher’s phone number.

With a frightened voice,” Roshana, Adrian is missing”

“What do you mean Adrian is missing?” I froze after hearing that

“He was just standing near to the gate and waiting for you or your mother to pick him up, but he is missing now," she told this in a tense tone. I didn't listen to her after that and hung up the call.

I called my mother, “Mom did you pick up Adrian?”

“No dear. you told me you will go pick up him after your interview.”

“okay I forgot, I will go to his school”. I didn’t want to make her panic and did not say a word about Adrian’s missing. Abruptly a car stopped beside me which was driving at high speed. I was startled by the sound and my whole body trembled for a second. I could see the dust brushed up all over the way. A man in black and two security guards came out of the car and approached me.

“Ma’am please get in. We need to talk” the man spoke to me.

“what? Who are you? “I hurled.

“Ma’am we will explain everything. Adrian is with us”

What the F*ck. Who are these people? why did they take Adrian?

“What? You took Adrian?”

“Ma’am please get in. you will come to know. We will explain soon.”

I had no idea who all are these people.

“What are you speaking about? explain to me now? Do you want money or something? Please give me my son” I cried.

He smiled “No ma’am, we are not kidnappers.”

I sniffled,” Is he okay?”

“He is just doing fine. Trust me. Please get in. we will take you to Adrian”

Despite my crazy act, the man spoke to me gently and I had to believe him that Adrian was fine. It was my son and I cannot take a risk on his life. I didn’t even give a second thought and got into the car. I didn’t care about my life or safety. No matter what would happen to me, I wanted my son to be okay. Where was he? Who were these people? what do they want? I had a lot of questions, but I remained silent in the car like an obedient puppy.

The car went to a direction where rich people in the town lives and went inside a house which was extravagantly huge and ravishing. I controlled myself from crying. I badly want to see Adrian and could not wait until even car stops, I opened the door and rushed out.

“where is my son?”

“This way please” he showed the huge house. why Adrian was here? Whose house was this? I cannot get into a stranger’s house. I hesitated to enter but the man insisted.

When I entered the house’s living room, I could see Adrian was sitting on Sofa and crying, "mom. I want to go to mom”. Few servants and some security guards were standing with toys and trying to comfort him. I ran to him, hugged him, and kissed his swollen red eyes. His eyes were full of tears and I wiped it out, “Don’t worry dear I am here”. I could not control myself from crying when I saw Adrian. Why did they make my son cry? I had no idea who they were and what did they want from me and Adrian?

I took Adrian in my arms, he hugged around my neck and growled at the people there, “What is wrong with you people? Who the hell are you? Why the hell did you take Adrian? If you dare to touch my son again, I will kill you all”.

A man who is in his early 50’s approached us, “I am so sorry for what happened. I am Mark, the personal secretary of the chairman”

“Sorry for what? For kidnapping my son uh? What the hell did you want? Leave us alone. I had nothing to do with you. We are leaving” I screamed and turned back.

“Ma’am We have something to deal with you.” He said gently.

When I turned back, he was holding some papers in his hand, “Please read this carefully and sign it. This is our Boss agreement with you”.

“Deal with what? Who is your boss? Why should I sign it? I have nothing to do with your boss? I don’t even know him? Please leave us alone” I hurled.

“Our boss's name is Edward “he replied politely.

As soon as I heard the name my mind strikes hard. I knew I heard this name long before and this could not be possible. This Edward must be different from the one I slept with. I froze to hear the name, and my body was stiff. I stood speechless.

“Ma’am Please listen to be. Adrian is our boss’s son.”

“No” I snapped. “Adrian is not your boss’s son.”

“No ma’am he is. We even have DNA proof”

"What the f*ck? You took the DNA test” my eyes wide opened with angriness.

“Mam please read these papers and sign it”.

My phone rang, and it was my mother. She was worried that I didn't come home for a long time after picking up Adrian from school. I answered the phone and said, "Mom Adrian wants to go to the park. So, we are in the park. don't worry we will go home soon"

"Okay, dear. I will cook food for you" she said and hung up.

I gazed at these men. I was sure I cannot run and the only way to get out of that place was I should read the agreement and tell them I was not willing to do. I took the papers and it was a 7-page agreement paper. I was curious. What 7 pages? God? These men must be crazy?

I let Adrian lie on the couch and start reading them. Adrian slept on my lap. In the middle of the paper, there were some conditions. It says, "I should not meet Adrian and I can ask for how much ever money I want". I stopped reading. I knew it was a waste of time. I could never live without Adrian.

I was furious and snarled, “I am not interested in this agreement,” said this while staring at Mark.

“Ma’am think again. You can ask how much money you want?”

“No, I am not interested” I snapped before even he finished.

He just sighed and said, “take him”

They tried to snatch Adrian from me. Two men held my arms and another man took Adrian and walked upstairs. I tried so hard to stop them, but they left.

“No, no please, where are you taking him?" I roared at them. Somehow, I grappled and managed to push away all the men who were holding my hands and ran upstairs where two people were standing in front of a locked room's door. They were the ones who took Adrian. I rushed there and started knocking the door so hard, "Adrian! Adrian are you inside".

“You go down I will take care” a daring voice from that room. The men standing next to me started walking away.

Edward’s P.O.V

Years back, Roshana’s mother called my mother to say that Roshana was carrying my child and she would take care of the child for somedays. My mother was so happy to hear this. I could notice that she was even more energetic and bright. The only thing that matters to me at that time was my mother. She started searching for names for the child. She chose ‘Adrian’ if it was a boy and ‘Marina’ if it was a girl and told the same to me and Roshana’s mother.

After 45 days, my mother felt sick and admitted to the hospital. she passed away after 2 days. Eric was there with me all the time in my difficult days but still, I feel so empty inside.

In these five years, I could see Adrian only on photos. a lot of times I felt so lonely but Roshana’s mother used to send Adrian’s pictures. I did not know why but I was so happy to see his pictures. Adrian looks exactly like me when I was a child and, he reminds me of my mother.

I started feeling more and more lonely these days, “I want to take care of Adrian. I will take him to the school which gives the richest and finest education in the country. I will teach him business when he was young, and he will become the youngest CEO of our company. I will be the best father in the world. As a father, I have the responsibility to make sure my son is talented and happy”

I myself imagine Adrian being with me, but he was with Roshana and I could not take him just like that. Roshana’s mother never speaks about bringing Adrian to me.

One day, my secretary walked towards my dining room and said,” Roshana is in town.”

“When did she come?”

“yesterday. She has resigned the job and she is going to be here”

“Oh,” I sneered.

I just didn’t reply much but my mind hit a nostalgic feeling after hearing this. I wanted to meet Adrian and I was yearning to see him. “I want to touch, hug him, and kiss his small fingers. Whatever it is HE IS MY SON”. I felt sad for missing his crawling days and longed for him to call me ‘dad’. I got tears of joy and my secretary noticed it but remained silent. “No matter what, I will take his custody.”

I came to be known that Roshana started to search for a job but did not find any due to the economy’s fall and joined Adrian to a nearby Kinder garden school.

I was so angry to hear this. How come she was so lame to join my son to a public school. He should be studying in the best school in the town. She was spoiling my son. I said my secretary to bring Roshana and Adrian to me and asked him to prepare the agreement papers with Roshana.

I get more excited when thinking Adrian was going to be with me. After my mother died, my whole life became so lonely. I tried to concentrate more on business and work. I meet Eric and a few of my other friends but that did not fill the emptiness in my life. I wanted a family. Most of the time I hate to get back home, I knew no one would be waiting for me in my home. I just had to be all alone in this big house.

I did all arrangements for Adrian to stay at my home. I ordered people to make Adrian's room which was next to mine and fill the room with the finest toys in the country and to decorate with amazing kid’s wallpapers.

I also told my secretary to get a signature from her in the agreement and drop her back. I thought she would get a huge amount of money and leave Adrian to me because as per Roshana Adrian was just a stranger’s son. But I was wrong.

That day when my men took Adrian, I could hear the loud cry of Adrian as ’mom mom’ and the tantrum of Roshana downstairs. I felt bad about this. This was not fair, Roshana too deserves Adrian’s custody, moreover, she was his mother. I knew what I was doing was not fair at all. But I had no other choice to take his custody. He was my only family then. I already told my men if she did not sign, bring Adrian to his room which is next to mine and drop her back home. After sometimes, I could hear a big knock on my door. “Adrian! Adrian are you inside?” she cried.

I remained silent for some time, but she didn’t stop, and I ordered my men to go away. I tried to speak gently, “Listen to me”.

“Why the hell should I listen to you? Who the f**k are you? If you dare touch or hurt my son, I will burn you alive", She screamed.

"why would I hurt him? He is my son too," I said coldly.

She stopped crying,” Sir please I don’t know who you are, but He is not your son. Please give him back to me. There is some misunderstanding” she tried to reply politely.

“No, He is my son. I cannot give him back. Please sign the agreement and leave now” I spoke in a cold voice.

She must be furious after my words and roared back, "Who the hell are you. Where were you in these many years? How come suddenly appear in front of us and claiming that he is your son?"

“I am the one who stayed with you that night”

“Oh, you just stayed with me one night but that does not mean he is your son. He is NOT YOUR SON”

I sneered, “yup you are right, but I took the DNA test when he was born. It proves the child is mine. I want his custody. I had given enough explanation. Just leave”

“I will face you legally, you b*stard”

“Oh, the law says the children’s custody would be given to the party who is richer than the other. At least now you could see Adrian if I allow, but if you sue me, you may never see him again”, I snarled in a cold voice.

"I am not afraid of you. You cannot r**e a girl and claim the child is yours. You don’t have any rights on that child because you r***d me. you cannot simply jump into our life and snatch my Adrian from me.” She shouted.

When she used the word r**e, I felt so guilty and became feeble. I realized I should not take Adrian alone from her. Adrian also should not grow with a single parent. He should never feel bad about not having a mother. When I was young I felt bad many times for not having a regular father. I know how it feels. I wanted to figure this out and made a solution until I had decided to let Adrian with Roshana.

I opened the door with great force as she was standing in front. Her beautiful face was fully red, sweaty, and tears. I exhaled softly and said, “Take Adrian for now, but one day he will be mine”

“What the f*ck” she narrowed her eyes and snarled.

I ignored her and left the house.
