FIGHT MY WAY

CH4. SAMANTHA'S POV

Just like that I blindly agreed to Alexander's proposal.

I can not deny that Alexander does not have a point, he does.

Like Alexander said, he wants the best for our son and so do I.

This is the best I can think of even if it comes with a sacrifice. I do not want my son to go through what I went through. As a matter of fact, I do not wish it upon my worse enemies.

How I was on the streets without supportive parents, I had to thrive, I was sexually harrased several times by different men.

It was such a horrible experience and I would be stupid to let history repeat itself so once again, I think I made the right decision by agreeing to marry Alexander. I will face whatever consequence that comes with it so long as the happiness of my child is prioritized, that is what is most important to me.

I remember that I met Dana on the streets and she was just like me, she had nothing and I did not too.

Many times, I wanted to get involved in bad things like robbing people or joining dangerous gangs just for daily bread but thankfully I never did.

It was such a horrible lifestyle and i do not want my son to ever go through such, not after I already went through it and I know what it is like to have nothing.

Like Alexander said, he wants the best for our son and so do I. This is the best I can think of even if it comes with a sacrifice.

"You are really going to marry him?" Dana asks with an irritated look on her face.

"Do I have much of a choice Dana? I have to and you of all people should understand that. You understand what i went through while I was on the streets all by myself. I am sure you do not want my son to go through such." I reply.

Today I would be meeting Alexander's parents. It is too quick but Alexander says he has everything under control. Dana is not in support but she allows me to make my own decision.

I meet Alexander outside leaning on a black convertible with sunglasses on.

He looks extremely gorgeous in a black fitted shirt and a pair of grey suit pants clad to his long legs.

"Hi." I mumble with a small smile plastered on my face. I fiddle with my palms shyly and avoid eye contact with him.

"How is Jake? You think I can see him before we leave?" Alexander asks with a big smile but I shake my head in disagreement. Dana agreed to stay with Jake and watch over him till I get back.

"No actually, we will be late. You can always see him later, come on." I say.

Alexander opens the door to the front seat, I flash him a cheeky smile and hop in. Alexander enters the driver's seat, he starts the car and zooms off into the busy streets of the city.

We do not say a word to each other during the drive because well, Alexander and I still have a lot to discuss, it is going to take a lot of time before the both of us can actually settle down and have a decent conversation.

I still feel awkward around him, although he tries his best to make an effort.

The black convertible pulls into the big driveway right in front of the tall storey building.

I open my mouth wide in shock as I gaze the luxury in front of me, other expensive cars are parked neatly in the parking lot and there are quite a lot of butlers and maids moving around the premises to make sure everything is okay.

I gaze at the beautiful fountain in the middle of the large driveway. Alexander McCarthy is a f*****g billionaire!

He opens the car door and steps down, he walks towards the door and helps me out as well. A man dresssed in a suit scurries towards us and bows his head at us in a form of respect.

I bow my head back at him while Alexander just ignores his presence and leads me into the mansion. I guess Alexander is already so used to this luxury since he was practically born into wealth.

The maids inside lead us towards the dining hall, I can barely admire the interior designs of the house because Alexander seems to be in a rush.

We step into the dining hall and a middle aged man and woman are already sitting.

I stand awkwardly at the door whereas Alexander walks towards his parents and says "Dad, Mum, I want you people to meet Samantha, she is the woman I would love to marry."

Just like that? I hastily dash towards them and bow my head as a form of greeting to his parents. "Father, Mother. I am delighted to finally meet you both." I say.

Surprisingly for me, his dad seems to be a bit too casual about me but his mother just scrunches her face into a frown.

Throughout the dinner, all Mrs McCarthy does is throw sly remarks about me and how I was so reckless to have s*x with Alexander.

She accuses me of having relationships with other men and as much as I try to deny it, she claims to have seen me at a hotel with a man old enough to be my father.

All of this is because she knows I do not fit into their luxurious world. She says some really mean things to me about not having parents and the worse part of it all is that Alexander does not say a single word to caution his mum, he allows her indirectly call me a slut and all manner of abusive names.

She goes as far as even suggesting for a DNA test to prove that Alexander is the father of my child. That is when I can no longer take it, I excuse myself from the dining hall to grab fresh air outside.

I suddenly feel a tap on my shoulder that startles me, I turn around to gaze at Mrs McCarthy.

"Do not even think about it Samantha, you do not belong here."
