Hiding my son from his Billionaire Father

Chapter 12 Let's make a deal

Eliza walked out of women's prison dejected. She came here with high hopes thinking Jasmine might forgive her. But instead, she didn't even want to hear her explanation and said she would only forgive her after she gets her out of the prison.

As she walked by the roadside she kept remembering Jasmine's question

'If I wasn't arrested would you have come back? ' Looking back at it, Eliza sighted. She really wouldn't have any reason to be in this city if it wasn't for the news about Jasmine getting arrested. She wanted to hide Royal from the public eyes, something she could only do if she stayed away.

Eliza kept walking absentmindedly and slowly shifted and began walking on the road. A Honda began speeding her way but she did not notice, even though the driver kept on pressing the horn for her to leave the road.

The driver of the car steed on the brakes multiple times but they didn't work, the brakes were broken. That was when Eliza heard the sounds of a car approaching and she turned to face it.

Fear was written all over her face when she saw the car was so close to her, her legs also couldn't move all she could do was to close her eyes and wait for the inevitable.

Eliza saw the face of her little boy flash behind her closed eyes. He was just too young to lose her now. At the moment where she finally resigned to what would happen, she also saw Mason's handsome face flash before her eyes.

If she was gone, would Mason accept Royal as his child? Would he treat her son well?

Using her arms to cover her head, she let out a loud scream as she waited to be hit by the car.

1 seconds

2 seconds

3 seconds...

Three seconds passed and when Eliza felt the car was about to hit her, she heard a huge crash

"Bam!!!"

She stood still for a while waiting to feel pain, but nothing came so she opened her eyes. Eliza's mouth opened wide, she was not hit, instead the car that was about to hit her crashed or was hit by another car, a very expensive one by the looks of it.

Collecting her emotions, she ran towards the crashed cars to check if the drivers were alright. She arrived quickly at the crash site and saw the car that was going to hit her. The driver had a small cut on his forehead which blood was flowing out from, but apart from that, nothing seemed broken in his body.

That's good.

She went to towards the other vehicle, as she grew closer to it, she noticed that it was a phantom Rolls Royce of the latest model. It was black, and was still beautiful despite the fact that it had just crash into another car. Before she could reach the driver's seat, the driver of the car opened the door and stepped out. Eliza stood in place as she saw the face of the driver

It was an exact replica of a face she had gotten used to seeing everyday, just more mature.

Mason.

Mason got out of the car and saw the woman who would have been dead if he had arrived just a few seconds late.

He decided before he left his office that he was going to take to have his revenge on the woman who broke his heart without even noticing. He left the office in a hurry hoping to catch her at the prison because he knew making a deal with her would be easier when she saw Jasmine condition.

He was just about to park by the prison when he saw a car speeding across the road. He looked at the direction the car was speeding towards and his heart sank when he saw her walking absentmindedly on the road.

He didn't even realize when he got back on the road and began chasing the car. He heard the car horn over and over again for her to leave the road but have was too deep in thought to hear, and when she finally did, it was almost too late. He saw her hold her head and scream and he didn't know what came over him. He increased the speed of the car and crashed into the speeding car making both of them fly across the road.

Looking at the woman now, all he wanted to do was to hug and and ask if she was okay, but he couldn't. She was not with him, she didn't belong to him.

"You.." Mason heard her say incoherently. Guess she was shocked to see him.

Eliza eyes went as round as possible, of all the places she could come across him, here? And to top it all, he saved her!

"Em.. Young Master Kendell" She addressed him. Alisa and the others had already briefed her on some things about the man standing in front of her. Mason Kendell, the CEO of Kendell International Enterprises. He took over his family company 5 months after she left, and made it grow even bigger, in less than a year, their company became the best in the whole of New York, rising the company up to 50 percent in less than a year, he became richer and most definitely more handsome. If before he was every woman's wish, now he was both men and women's wish all over the world. They also told her that he became cold. He never had any scandals about him, even his love life disappeared. Rumours have it that he was gay, but Eliza knew he wasn't. That night was still very fresh in her memory.

Mason stared at the lady in front of him. The reason for his sleepless nights, he always dreamt of that night he took her, and the morning when she said it was a mistake, everything was still as clear as day for him.

"What were you thinking walking in the middle of the road like that, do you want to get yourself killed?" He reprimanded with anger. But he was more worried than angry, so he placed all his emotions in one sentence.

"I was... Thank you for saving me" Eliza wanted to explain that she was just thinking of something, but shook her head against it. Her explanation wasn't worth it anyways.

When Mason heard her voice, his heart finally calmed down. She was alright. But that didn't mean he was going to let her off easy

"Yes I saved you, but at the expense of my car" He said pointing to the Rolls-Royce.

Eliza glanced at the car and frown. The car had suffered such a big crash but only had a dent and some few scratches on its bumper, beside that, it was totally fine, compared with the other car which bumper was squeezed and had a busted headlight. But despite the fact that it was just a small dent, Eliza knew it would still cost a lot to fix it.

"I'm sorry, I.. I.. don't know what I can do to make it up" She said as her shoulder slumped.

Mason saw this and a chance he would probably never have again, so he decided to use it.

"I have to get this entire car repainted do you know that?"

"I doubt I have enough money to pay you for it" Eliza confessed with her head still placed down.

" You know I remember you right? The same girl who stopped my wedding four years ago" Mason said first wanting to make sure they were on the same page before she continued. When she nodded be continued

" How about we make a deal".Mason next words made Eliza who's head had been bowed suddenly look up which revealed her beautiful brown eyes.

" What deal? "She asked with suspicion

" I'll forget about my damaged car if you would be my pretend girlfriend "

" What? "That took her by surprise, why would hr want her to do it, was it because they had a past

Eliza thought about it for a few moments, then an idea struck her.

"Fine, but I have a request" She said which made Mason left brow go up, he had an idea on what she might say already.

"Go on" He urged.

" I'll agree if you help Jasmine get out of prison"
