Baby Daddy For Hire

CHAPTER 3

LEO

"No dad! Why do you keep on doing this to me?!" I asked dad because I was so pissed at him!

Not a day passed by that he wouldn't bother me about this issue.

It's like he's obsessed of me getting married,like it's a simple thing to do!

"It's for your own good hijo! Why can't you just do as you told?!" He answered firmly.

"I told you I won't marry jessica!" I shouted at my dad who's sitting beside mom.

As usual they were trying to convince me again to marry Jessica,my childhood friend.

"Leo! Gaano ka ba katagal mag mamatigas sa amin ng mama mo?! What's wrong with Jessica? She's young and pretty! Not to mention she's talented when it comes to running a business...she's a kind of girl that suits you!" Dad shouted back at me.

I just came home from a business trip outside the country...I'm so tired already but this is how they welcome me when I arrived at home.

I'm so tired of them always pushing and rushing me to marry jessica but I turn them down every time!

Honestly it's not a problem for me to marry Jessica because I've known her since we were young but I don't have a feelings for her... I mean I do love her but not in a way that they want me to...I love her as a sister and nothing more.

"Because dad I don't want her to be my wife! I Won't marry her!

I know she's a great woman... I love her as a sister and I don't want to ruin that. I have a very good relationship with her and I don't want to jeopardise that by dating her and eventually breaking up!" Mariin kong sabi kay daddy.

"Then you will not taking over my company! Unless you marry jessica, you're not gonna get you're inheritance!" Dad threatened me with his very authoritative manly voice.

He always does this...threatening me about the company and my inheritance whenever I don't agree with what he wanted.

"Come on dad! I worked so hard just so I could take over the company,I didn't even pursue my dreams in music because you said that I have to study hard for the company but now you're saying that you won't let me take over? Don't be ridiculous dad!

I've earned my right to the company already!" I said looking at him almost begging.

"No! I've spoiled you so much boy! If you won't listen to me anymore then you better leave and move out of my house!" Here we are again!

He always scares me of disowning if I don't listen to him but now I've had enough!

Hindi na ulit ako mag papadikta sa kanya.

Buong buhay ko nalang ay lagi niyang sinasabi sa akin kung ano ang dapat kung gawin na para bang wala akong karapatang mag desisyon para sa sariling buhay ko!

"Dad! Don't be so stubborn!

Mom what are you doing?say something!!" I turned to my mom hoping that she would side me but I failed.

She shrugged her hands as if she doesn't have a say in this.

"I'm sorry son... But I'm with your dad with this. We just want what's best for you...

And come on honey you're not getting any younger and we want our grandchildren as soon as possible before we say goodbye to this world!" I exhaled harshly feeling so defeated.

I thought she would understand where I'm coming from, but just like dad all she thinks about is having a grandchildren and a daughter in law to spoil.

I don't know why they're rushing me to give them a grandchildren,I mean they are not even that old.

They always say that they wanted to meet my kid before they die but We all know that ,that's not gonna happen anytime soon so why rush everything?

"Fine! I'll leave! If you don't want me to take over the company just because I can't gave you a grandchild then consider me dead! I'm out of here!!!!" I said storming out of the house.

I stopped midway and turn to dad.

"And dad I don't need your money! You can keep it to your self but I won't marry jessica!" I said then continue to leave.

I went to my car and slammed the door angrily.

"Drive!" Paasik na Utos ko sa driver ko pagkasakay ko.

"Saan po tayo sir?"

"I don't know! Just drive..." Nakakunot noong Sabi ko sa kanya at agad naman siyang tumalima.

I don't understand why they kept pushing me on getting married when I told them that I wasn't ready.

I know that I'm getting older..I'm 30 years old and single,but 30 isn't that old!

I am a fine and stable man,One of the most eligible bachelor in town and I can marry whoever I want when I feel like it even when I'm already in my 40's or even 50's.

Hindi naman ako mauubusan ng babae kung hindi ako mag papakasal ngayon eh!

Sa dami ng nag hahangad na mapangasawa ako ay pwede akong pumili sa kanila ora-mismo kung gugustuhin ko!

I know they're just worried about me but I'm a perfecty grown up man and I am perfectly capable of handling myself.

They've been pushing me to marry jessica and honestly there's nothing wrong with her,she kind and pretty but I want to marry someone I love.. I don't want to marry because of business...

I want to marry someone who can make me feel loved and someone who can take care of me...

Someone I can cherish and someone I can give my heart to and that's not jessica.

My love for her is a love for a sister and not in a romantic way.

Malalim akong napabuntong hininga sa pag iisip kung ano nang gagawin ko sa buhay ko.

I have a degree in business management but right now I don't know where to work.

All my life my dad have been training me to take over the company and that's what I've always known.

I know I can easily find a job in other company but that would cause a problem for dad's company since we are quite well-known...some of them may probably think that I will just gonna spy on them.

Back then I wanted to be a musician but my father disagree with me and send me abroad instead to study business management.

I love my dad and my mom so Much that I didn't dare to opposed them but when it comes to my love life I will not let them dictate me anymore.

I'm sick of feeling that I don't have a say in my own life...and beside it's me who's gonna spend the rest of my life with who ever I marry and so that gives me the right to choose who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

I felt so annoyed thinking about my parents so I started browsing on the internet to divert my attention.

As i was browsing the internet this one strange job advertisement caught my attention...

Strange...

It was a job advertisement searching for a secretary but the qualification is quite strange.

They were searching for someone with IQ that is higher than 130,good looking and when I say good looking I mean they were looking for someone with fair skin,well groomed hair,someone with a beautiful color eyes and with a height of not shorter than 6 feet.

Now, I know that appearance is one of the things that most employers are looking for but I think that this one is quite odd and unique.

Very uncommon.

But since I am now unemployed and I Can't work for other company without causing problem to others,it intrigued me so I send out my resume to the email that's attached to the advertisement.

I got their response almost immediately and they invited me to attend the interview today.

"Manong drive me to this place please," sambit ko sa driver ko pag tapos ay ibinigay ko sa kanya ang address na nakalagay sa ad.

I know that applying as a secretary is way to low for me considering that i know how to manage and run a huge company, not to mention that I am the son of one of the most powerful man in the country.

but I wanted to prove dad that I don't need his money and that I don't have to marry someone I don't love just so I could live in luxury.

I grew up wealthy and I honestly don't know to live without dad's money but I am willing to learn and start from below in order to get to the top.

I know it will took me a long time to get to the top being a secretary but I am willing to wait where it will lead me.

I have talked to lots of people and a lot of them started from scratch and low position before they became successful and that's what exactly I was gonna do.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Ilang minuto lang ay nakarating ako sa malaking mansion na my napakalawak na bakuran.

Napaisip tuloy ako kung tama ba itong lugar na puntahan namin.

"Manong are you sure it's the right place?

The right address?

The one I gave you?" I ask my driver because it looks like a house,a mansion and not an office.

"Yes sir,eto ho oh tama naman po," he answered looking on the address I gave him just to be sure.

"Mmmm That's strange..." I thought to myself.

I shrugged my shoulder and press the doorbell.

I'm confused and wondering why they would held an interview in this mansion instead of the office, but hey why do I care? As long as I got the job then it's fine.

Someone buzz opened the gate for me and someone meet me on the door lead me to the living room where there are some other applicants sitting there.

Iginala ko ang paningin ko sa kabuuan ng bahay at napaawang ang bibig ko sa ganda Ng bahay na ito, I mean our house is huge but this is so much bigger than ours.

Nakakalula ang laki ng chandelier na nakasabit at halatang mamahalin ang mga vase at iba pang decorations na naroon.

pinaupo ako ng kasambahay nila sa napakalambot at napaka komportableng sofa at sinabihan akong maghintay muna roon until it's my turn.

ISSABELE

Napakamot ako sa ulo ko at napahilamos dahil sa inis.

I've interview so many applicants but so far wala pa ding pumapasa...

Some are too handsome but no brains,some are ugly but wise,some are intelligent but not intelligent enough to pass my standard.

It's been a long day and I'm starting to feel tired.

"How tall are you?

Says here in your resume that you're 6'5 but you don't look that tall, " I ask one of the applicant

"I'm 5'8," he said hesitantly.

"Oh my gosh! Why would you lie about something so obvious?!

You just wasted my time! Next!" I rolled my eyes at him and rejected him!

"Next!"

I shouted... I specifically indicate to the ads that no shorter than 6 ft but here they are still applying for position when they're not even qualified!

My gosh!

they all attended a prestigious university but lots of them are so dumb and can't even follow guidelines!

"Hmmm... I see you're quite good looking and you're tall...

Hmmm but you don't reach the criteria of 130 IQ!" I send him back out feeling so defeated.

That's the last applicant but I still haven't found the one yet.

I've been doing this for months now but I still haven't found the perfect guy yet.

Maybe marga was right! Maybe it's a terrible idea to hire someone to get me pregnant.

Maybe it's not for me to have a baby...

Or maybe I should go out and date other men but I don't want to!

Man are just a nuisance and always giving woman a headache.

Ready na sana akong tumayo para magpahinga nang pumasok si manang lina.

"Meron pang isang dumating!" Sambing niya

"Ugh manang! I'm so tired already...baka palpak nanaman iyan!" Pag rereklamo ko.

"Paalisin ko na ba?" Manang ask

"No manang send him up... If he's rejected then i'll stop this nonsense!" utos ko kay manang lina at dali dali naman siyang bumaba para sunduin ito.

Sa totoo lang akala ko madali

lang itong gagawin ko...

I mean how hard it is to find someone to get you pregnant right?Cause who would turned down having s*x with me and getting paid at the same time.

Akala ko talaga magagawa ko ito pero mukhang nagkamali nga ako.

Mukhang mauuwi nga ako sa pag aampon ng bata para lang may matawag na anak.

I really hate the idea of marrying...I hate falling inlove...I hate being left alone.

Hindi ko na uulitin ulit ang pagkakamali ko noon.

Hindi na ulit ako magmamahal at magtitiwala...

I'm done getting hurt!

"Come in!" I was startled by the knocked on the door.

I sit up straight and maintain a poker face.

Napaawang ng bahagya ang bibig ko pag pasok ng huling aplikante na nag aapply.

Gezzz girl...

He's hot!

Jawdrop talaga!

"Sit Down!" Mataray na utos ko sa kanya.

Nag iwas ako ng tingin while trying to maintain my composure.

My heart skip a beat upon seeing him.

"So you study abroad huh?" I was amaze by his resume.

He's honestly over qualified so I don't understand why he is applying for this job...but I don't care as long as he is the perfect man for my plan.

"Yes Ma'am... I have a degree in business management and graduated on top of my class." Confident na sabi niya.

Hindi ko alam kung ano bang meron sa lalaking ito... may kung anong meron sa aura niya na talagang nagpapawala sa akin sa katinuan.

His sophisticated accent intrigues me... I know this kind of accent...

Marami akong nakakasalamuhang tao and this kind of accent typically says that he is a wealthy and educated person.

His alluring voice made him sound so sexy!

"What?! Sexy?!" I uttered to my self.

Pasimple kong kinurot ang sarili ko dahil sa pag iisip ng kung ano ano.

"I see.. You're 6'1 tall and I can see that you're very good looking...you also surpassed our criteria of 130 IQ," namamanghang sabi ko sa kanya.

Hindi ako makapaniwalang nahanap ko na din ang tamang tao para sa plano ko.

Sa wakas ay nahanap ko na rin ang magiging tatay ng anak ko!

"Okay...you're hired!" Sambit ko sa kanya na halatang ikina excite niya naman.

Bahagya lang akong napatawa sa sarili ko dahil sa ipinakita niyang kasiyahan...huh! Kung alam lang niya kung anong pinasok niya.

"Really? So when can I start?" Tanong niya na my kinang sa mga mata.

He's obviously so eager to work for me but little did he know what kind of job he was about to do.

"As soon as you finish signing this contract!" I said handing him the contract that I made.

he happily took it and started to read...but as soon as he started reading it,his smile slowly faded...

His sweet looking aura turned into a cold look.

he then looked at me with disbelief written all over his face.

I can't blame him for reacting like that...it's not the job he expecting after all.

LEO

I gasp in disbelief after reading the contract that this woman gave me.

I honestly gets nervous with this interview when I saw her.

When I enter the room I immediately saw her...she looks so cold and very mean looking...

The way she speak is also intimidating.

She's pretty scary and intimidating but I have to admit that she's also drop dead gorgeous...!

But reading this contract right now makes my head spin...

I massage my temple and blink repeatedly trying to to make sure that I read the contract right.

Sinasabi ko na nga ba! Noong una ko palang nakita ang advertisement na ito ay naguluhan na ako..kakaiba kasi ang mga qualifications na hinahanap nila pero dahil kailangan ko ngayon ng trabaho ay hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pa.

Pero hindi ko iniexpect na ganto pala ang trabahong ibibigay niya.

"Is this some kind of a joke?!" I asked her as soon as I finish reading the contract.

"No sir! It's a very serious matter...you're perfect and I want you for the job!" Mariin sabi niya na puno ng kompyansa.

"Is this woman insane?" Hindi ko maiwasang itanong sa sarili ko.

Kamangha mangha ang kumpyansang meron siya at kung sa ibang pagkakataon ko siya nakilala ay siguradong hahanga ako sa kanya.

Napakaganda niyang babae,mayaman at halatang matalino pero hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit niya ito ginagawa.

"Are you serious?

You want to hire me to get you pregnant?!!" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko.

"Yes! I'll pay you! Kahit magkano ang gustohin mo... Just name it!" Buong pagmamalaking sagot niya

I chuckle sarcastically, "You think this is all about money?!" I asked in disbelief

"Well yeah.. You need money that's why you're here right?

You need money and I need your service so it's a win win," she said acting as if what she's asking is a simple matter.

I can't believe how entitled this woman is.

Does she think that she can buy all the things in the world?

Does she thinks that her money makes her entitled to use other people to fulfil her own agenda?!

I laugh a little looking at her..."Wow lady! You looks like your an intelligent woman but I think you are crazy!

I can't believe I wasted my time talking to some entitled brat like you!

I'm out of here! You can keep your money and i will keep my dignity!

Good luck finding a puppet!" I said to her calmly and turn around to leave.

But when I was just about to open the door she shouted at me.

"Stop!!!" She shouted loudly.

Napipikong lumingon ako ulit sa kanya.

I don't know why,but I when I look at her I saw a sadness in her eyes...

As if she was betrayed.

I can see how much she's hurting right now and how desperate she is...but whatever her reason is,what she want is just completely unacceptable!

"What now?" Naiinis na baling ko sa kanya

"You can't leave!" Sigaw niya

"Uhmmm I'm pretty sure that I can... Unless you wanna confine me here illegally..But I don't think you can do that so watch me!

bye..." I said Ready to leave again when she shouted

"I can't confine you here but this I can do!!" I turned at her again and saw her opened the drawer harshly and took the gun there!

She then pointed it at me....

I was shocked for a minute...

My jaw literally drop in shock!

I can't move...I just look at her thinking that she was just joking but the I saw her face,she wasn't bluffing!

her face is so fierce and full of determination.

"What now? You're gonna shoot me? You wanna kill me now just because I don't want to get you pregnant?!

Come on lady I know you're better than this" Sambit ko nang makabawi sa pagkabigla.

"No I won't! I wont kill you! But I will kill my self! The moment you walk out of that door!" She shouted.

May kung anong kaba at takot akong naramdaman dahil sa sinabi niya...

Inialis niya ang pag kakatutok ng baril niya sa akin at itinutok iyon sa kanya.

Makakaya ba talaga niyang mamatay para lang makuha ang gusto niya?

Mataman ko siyang tinignan at napagtanto kong hindi nga siya nag bibiro.

"Okay! Just Put the gun down," I said raising my hands but she wouldn't listen.

"No!!!! Until you sign this contract then I will not put this down!"

She was so stubborn...

Why do this people keep on manipulating me into something that i don't want to do?!!

"Listen... I came here to apply for a secretary position and not some sperm donor!! I am not a prostitute... I can help you find someone to help you with your problem...just put the gun down..."

I said trying to convince her to lower the gun... Pero imbes na ibaba ito ay mas lalo pa niya itong idiniin sa sentido niya at akmang kakalabitin na ang gatilyo!

"You know how hard it is to find someone like you?!!! I've been searching for a month and I will not wait again for so long to find a perfect candidate for my baby's father! If you don't want the job then I better die!" She shouted while crying...

Looking so hurt and defeated...

I know by the way she looks that she's the kind of person that will stick to her word... I'm afraid that if I don't agree with her then she will definitely pull the trigger.

I know I can just walk out of there and leave her there but I can't just let her to die...i Can't have that on my conscience!

"Okay!! Okay... I will sign it! Just please don't kill your self!

I will sign it... Just put the gun down ok?!" Pagpayag ko sa gusto niya.

Hindi ko alam kung tama bang pumayag ako pero mas hindi tamang may mamatay nang dahil sa akin.

"Not until you finish signing it!" She said handing me the contract...

I quickly sign it so she could put the gun down.

"Okay.. Good boy ...now sit down and we'll talk about the conditions in this contact," she said calmly after I signed the contact.

She lower her gun and told me to sit down.

Naguluhan ako sa bigla niyang pagbabago ng ugali...

Mula sa nakakatakot na blackmailer ay parang napaka among tupa na niya.

Naiinis na sumunod nalang ako sa gusto niya bago pa siya muling sumpungin ng toyo niya at may mamatay pa sa aming dalawa.
