MY TARGET IS MY BABY’S DADDY!

Chapter 2

Fayson Royal Hotel

Finally lodging at room 106, she went down to the hotel's bar to get wasted, in hopes of forgetting her problems. But with each glass of alcohol she took, she felt pain in her heart.

"Hahaha, even alcohol can't drown my sorrows. Everyone and everything's just bullying me. Am I a punching bag? Do I deserve all this?" she yelled, attracting the gazes of all those present in the bar. But she didn't care. If they wanted to look, let them have a good look at her miserable and sorrowful state!

Tired, of drinking with the wineglass, she picked up the bottle of alcohol and started downing it fast, disregarding the burning in her throat. She had to forget her sorrows, no matter how much alcohol she'd have to drink!

"Give me two more!" she yelled.

Soon enough, the bottles of strong alcohol were brought to the already drunk Rosalina who had emptied the two bottles of alcohol on her table. As soon as the waitress put the bottles on the table, Rosalina grabbed one and opened it, immediately downing it.

"Slow down please, ma'am," the waitress whispered smilingly.

"Go, get me two more. I want to forget. I want to forget everything and start anew. I'll drink until I have amnesia. You can't stop me!" Rosalina shrieked before resuming her downing of the drink, directly from the bottle.

The waitress slightly shook her head before returning to the counter where the bartender was. Not long after, Rosalina pushed the empty bottles to the floor, attracting the attention of everyone.

Not minding their gazes, she got up from her seat and found her way to the counter. "Here, swipe this card," she said with a red face to the stunned bartender.

With a sigh, the bartender obeyed and soon handed her the card.

"Thank you, darling," she giggled before slowly staggering away from the bar, using the walls as support.

…

After almost getting lost, she finally ended up on the right floor where she had lodged. She walked towards a golden door and looked at the plaque.

"Room 106!" she read out and nodded, inserting the key in the hole. However, to her dismay, it wasn't working. Angered, she kicked the door once and it opened wide.

"Humph! Why didn't you open earlier? Even you want to bully me?" she snorted before entering and closing the door.

Heading towards the bed, she saw a human figure on the king-size bed.

'Is that you, Zane?' she thought as she climbed the bed. Had her ex-husband realized the truth at last and wanted her to be his again? Look, he was even in bed waiting for her as a surprise. How great!

The man lying in the bed opened his eyes after sensing someone had gotten in the bed, greatly reeking of alcohol.

"Since you're here, let's get this done with!" the man coldly said and quickly tore off her gown.

"What? You're serious?" she exclaimed. Zane was so impatient tonight. He longed for her this much?

The man opened her legs and tore off her underwear, quickly forcing his way into her tightness. She let out a scream as he did so but it wasn't loud enough. She tried to struggle because of the pain she was feeling in a special spot but was no match for the man's great strength. He harshly thrust into her cunt fast like he was releasing his pent-up anger into it.

"Don't pretend innocence, slut. Be quiet and let me do my thing in peace!" he scolded, increasing the pace of his fierce thrusts with the bed heavily creaking.

'Why is he so fierce?' she thought in despair, tears streaming down her cheeks as the man pounded her like his life depended on it.

***

The next day,

Rosalina woke up with a great headache and she held her head as she struggled to sit up. Her entire body felt sore and she found it strange. Looking around, she saw that the surroundings were not at all familiar. No, this wasn't the room she lodged last night!

Getting off the bed with some difficulty, she saw to her dismay, her black gown and torn white underwear on the floor. Looking at her body that was covered in love bites, all that was left was her pink lace bra!

'How did this happen?' she thought, dread written on her face clearly.

Slowly, memories of what happened last night surfaced in her head. How she got really wasted and found her way to the right floor. The door refused to open and with one kick from her, it opened…

And there was a man whose face she didn't see since the room was dimly lit.

Removing the blanket from the bed, colour drained from her face. There… There was blood on the sheets!

Her innocence had just been taken by some stranger?

At this her knees gave and she ended up on the floor.

Slap!

She hit her right cheek hard.

"Rosie, why are you so stupid? You lost a husband, your family and now your innocence?" her eyes flooded with tears that soon burst forth and cascaded down her cheeks.

Why did she decide to get wasted? She didn't forget her sorrow but in the end, she added more sorrow to it. Why was her life so bitter?

…

Minutes later, she fled from the room with the key in her hand and her hair covering her face. Opposite her was the actual room 106 that she'd paid for last night. Because of her drunkenness, she read the opposite room which had the plaque 109 as 106!

After leaving the hotel, she quickly rushed to the pharmacy to get a birth control pill and swallowed it. Now feeling safe from pregnancy, she decided to pay a visit to a former classmate-turned friend of hers called Regina Huntson. After staying there for a few days, she left the country despite Regina's pleas to stay. She never informed her friend that she had lost her innocence to some strange man, Regina only knew Zane had divorced her and her family disowned her.

She chose to go to Rodville country and start anew there.

But a few days later, she began to have nausea and even missed her period. Terrified, she bought a pregnancy kit and it showed positive. Unwilling to believe, she rushed to the hospital to have a pregnancy test. There, her fear was confirmed- She was a week pregnant!

She thought about aborting, but on the appointed day at the hospital, the cry of a beautiful baby girl that was being carried past her made her change her mind. Yes, the child's unknown father might be a scum but the little life steadily developing in her womb was innocent.

A week later, armed men barged into her rented apartment and took away her money, debit cards, her phone and even the prized jewelery that her late mom, Ivanna Turner left for her.

Rosalina felt very depressed and contemplated suicide by jumping off the rooftop. But a neighbor next door, Tina Woods inhibited her plan and comforted her. Then she introduced Rosalina to the boss of her workplace, Yoyena's Fantasy, the most popular nightclub in town. This club paid quite a handsome wage to its workers and she, who was in desperate need of money, accepted the job of a cocktail waitress.

After a month of working there, she met a handsome middle-aged man called Eric Bradford. He took an interest in her and often had private conversations with her. After knowing her situation, he offered her a huge amount of money but she refused.

"Nothing is free in this world, sir. I can't take this,"

"Rosalina, if you so want to repay the favour, after you give birth and your child is weaned, come work for me for seven years,"

She eventually agreed, thinking it was just a normal job at his company. She stopped working at the club; it wasn't a job she liked anyway as there was so much harassment accompanying it.

She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and Eric despite her refusal, footed the medical bill. After her child was weaned, she decided to meet with him and offer to work for him. He smiled at her request and divulged.

"I'm glad you stuck to the agreement. Congratulations, you've made a very good decision. Rosalina, you will be trained by me personally, and I guarantee in no time, you'll be an entirely different person. You will be more confident than a CEO, that I can promise!"

Although she felt weirded out by his words, she still played along and smiled, "Thank you sir,"

Eric then took her blindfolded to his 'company'. Upon taking off the blindfolded, she was stunned speechless.

"Sir, this is the 'company?'" she was forced to ask. What she was seeing wasn't in anyway a normal company. The place carried a grim air.

"Yes, Rosalina. This is my organization. My codename is Blue devil,"

"Blue devil. What does it mean?" Rosalina couldn't help furrowing her brows.

"You'll know later. All you need to know now is that I will make you a renowned assassin in the world. From today onward, you are codenamed Black Cat!" he disclosed, much to her shock.

So, It turned out Eric Bradford was actually the boss of an assassin organization called Canine Frost.
