The Wife He Never Planned

CHAPTER THREE

Miah shut her eyes and opened it again. "You should be joking, right?."

Ronald gave a grunt. He knew it. Who would want to refuse a deal with him?. Apparently no one who knew would ever do that. Never.

"I am not. That's how I do my Business. And I keep to every conditions I lay out there. Trust me for that."

Miah snorted and dropped the file before him. She picked her bag and made to leave.

"Mr Ronald, thank you for having me here. As I said earlier, I am not interested in this. I came here for a reason not to babysit someone's child. You will find another and I am sure you will."

She walked on without looking back. Who does he think he is to have that kind of money with me?. He could have drafted out a fake contract. But still, she wouldn't even agree to that. She had so many things to put in place.

She turned back a little." I don't know which information you've gotten about me yet but stop prying into my affairs, please!."

A slam on the door, Ronald laughed. What just happened now?. She refused him?!. She refused the deal?!.

"Alex..."

A guy in his mid twenties walked in. "Yes, Boss."

"Do the necessary."

"Noted."

"She said no, right?." Timmy stifled a laugh.

"Don't make me send you off at costs. I am sure she doesn't know I am the one. She could have never refused me."

Timmy finally let out the laugh." You had better get that pride off and chase after her. Remember that Aurora's health is at stake."

"I have no words for you." He said and stood up.

No one has ever refused him. He had always got what he wanted and she would never be an exception.

Three days after, Miah walked into the disco house, only to be welcome by...Aurora.

"Mama!." She screamed happily.

Wait...what was going on?. How did...

Madam Gianne walked up to her with her usual deceptive smile.

"They have been waiting for you."

"Who are they?. And why would you allow a child in here, Madam Gianne?. Why?!."

She could feel her temper rising already. Couldn't she have a break already?. Why was life acting this way towards her?

"Mama, don't you want me anymore?."

Miah carried her to her room. She laid her on the bed and forced a smile. Why would she come to disrupt the most critical part of her life this way?

"Aurora, you can't be here. I don't know what your father would seem to gain from this but you can't be here and I can't be your Mama. I have my life already with me, taking you in would complicate things. Tell your father that I am not interested, please."

Aurora cupped her face in her hands. She let out a little smile."Mama, everything will be fine if you are with me. You don't need to worry. My father would take care of you. You won't have to stay here anymore. You won't have to listen to that woman out there anymore. You are my Mama for a reason and I will take you out of here."

Miah stared deeply at the child before her. Why does this girl seem to understand her more than anyone?

Did she know anything?. No one would speak that way to her. No one had ever done that way. What was going on with her.

She clenched her teeth, she wouldn't cry before this girl. She wouldn't break down...ever.

"Come, Mama. Let me soothe your worries for you. You can cry too. I won't tell anyone."

With her little hands around her neck, she embraced Miah tightly.

Shutting her eyes, the tears came out freely. The tears she had kept in all this while.

The tears she had refused to let out no matter what.

Why would this little girl come to take off her facade just like that?.

A moment after, a knock was heard on the door. Miah quickly wiped off her tears.

"Stay here until I come back, okay?."

Aurora nodded.

She knew who it was already.

"Madam Gianne wants to see you now. She..."

"I know and I am sure you would want to be part of the conversation too."

Miah shut the door and walked to Madam Gianne's office.

She opened the door and sat on the chair before her.

Madam Gianne ate up a munch of fries. "I heard you refused a deal with Mr Ronald."

"Yes, I did because I don't want to."

Madam Gianne gave her an irritated look. "You did because you didn't want to and you still have that audacity to say that to me. You and I know the debt you've accumulated here and that's why you've been kept here ever since. Mr Ronald had paid it off and even gave me an extra with it. I don't think I need your services here anymore, maybe if you need here for pleasure."

"You sold me out?."

"I didn't. What were you expecting me to do?. Say no to a one time client that way?. You had better get your act together and do what's needed to be done. You should be grateful you have no reason to be here anymore. It's just a pity I have to look for another good s*x worker like you."

Miah couldn't tell if she should be angry at what just happened or rather to be grateful that she had to leave this living hell. Maybe leaving would do her some good. Maybe the universe had finally answered her prayers.

"I would never have any cause to come back here ever again. You want me out, right?. I will go. But I don't know this man!. How could even agree he should take me away."

"Miah, He is Ronald Grey. The owner of the Grey's Empire." Evelyn blurted out. How could that man even have seen her? What had she done to gain the favour of his child?

"What?!. Ronald..Grey?.”
