I was familiar with a big pharmacy in the downtown area, so that was where I boarded a cab to, knowing fully well that they were definitely going to have a series of abortion pills unlike other pharmacies which might not even have at all.
Who knows..
What if I decide to get the pills tomorrow and it becomes impossible to get rid of the baby?..
It's better to do it now!.
“Thank you" I said to the young lady on duty as she handed me the packaged pills which I had purchased.
I had to stand in the long queue for about fifty minutes before it got to my turn and that was really frustrating.
I bumped into two young men in suits on my way out of the pharmacy and I couldn't help wondering where I knew them from as they seemed so familiar.
“Our boss is waiting for you in the car” the first one said and I had to look around to confirm if he was really talking to me or someone else behind me.
“Me?”
They nodded in unison.
“And who's your Boss?” I asked again.
“Come see for yourself” the second man said.
Normally, I would have refused to go with them but what if they suddenly grab me and force me to the car?..
It's better to go humbly to avoid embarrassment.
I gave them a suspicious look before shrugging.
“This way please”.. the first man said, leading me out of the pharmacy with his colleague.
I was led to one of the most luxurious cars in the large parking lot and hesitantly, I entered the backseat where the boss was also seated.
Surprisingly it turned out to be Mr handsome.
Again!
Okay, this time, I wasn't going to be soft! After all, we were no longer in his office where I was guilty of messing up his toilet.
“Did you follow me down here?” I asked, trying to open the car door again but it was already locked.
His men remained outside, giving us privacy while the cool air conditioner gave a pleasurable feeling.
“I want to get down" I stubbornly requested, attempting to open the door again and this time, it opened.
I was surprised. Didn't I try to open it properly earlier?
He said nothing till I alighted, but double crossed me by alighting from his own side too.. I sighed, stopping in my tracks and leaning on the car..
“And who said you can just leave with my child?” he threw a question at me immediately, covering the remaining distance between us.
I blinked, wondering why he was so confident that the child was his and damn.. how could a man be this beautiful?
“I'm definitely not keeping it, I can't care for it. Besides, not like you're going to accept it" I replied immediately.
“And who says I'm like other men?" he retorted gently, snatching the abortion pills I bought and throwing them off. I raised a brow..
“I need the child, it's very much important to me" he added, sounding so serious and determined.
I gulped. He disappointed my predictions!
“Name it, five hundred thousand dollars? Seven hundred?.. just birth the child and let me have him or her. I'll pay"
I folded my fists, feeling insulted.
“I will not sell my baby, okay? And I can't watch another mother raise someone I birthed with pains” I admitted.
“Then be prepared to raise him or her yourself" he replied almost immediately.
“Huh?.."
“Marry me and take care of the child" he released words that seemed like a bombshell to me.
I gasped with widened eyes.
“What!”
He heaved a deep sigh, brushing his hair backwards with a hint of frustration in his reaction and then, he grabbed my shoulders gently..
At this point, I literally saw desperation in his eyes as they softened, alongside his expression..
“Look, everyone has a problem and an urgent need, okay? I solved yours that night with a relieving nightstand, help me with mine by doing this" he spoke so gently like he wasn't quite savage too.
“Just a two year contract okay? I promise and even after then, you'll still have free access to see your child” he added, making me feel more tense.
I raised my hands to his, slowly bringing them down from my shoulders.
“I don't even know you.. I mean, we're still strangers to each other. Besides, my status is too low for someone like you. I'm sorry, I can't, and again, your parents will never accept me” I spoke softly too..
“My mum doesn't dictate for me and she also wants me to have a family too okay? Regarding my dad, we're not even on good terms and he's out of town so they can't stop us” he responded.
I still wasn't satisfied..
How could I marry him, just like that?....
I sighed, watching him turn to a particular direction for a second or two..
“I'll just birth the child and give him or her to —" he interrupted my words by suddenly lowering his lips into mine, kissing me without warning.
The shock I felt at that instant was more than the word ‘Shocked' itself..
I literally froze while he did what I couldn't explain to my lips..
And at that very point, I sighted Lewis from the exact direction where Mr handsome had turned to some seconds ago.
Yes, he was near us and his gaze was fixed on us!.
“Anna, you have to make him jealous!" Something in me suddenly said.
Even if he had moved on, the love he had once had for me will make him feel somehow. I was sure.
I couldn't tell whether Mr handsome knew him also and had made that move because of him, all I had in mind was that I was not going to remain as the Anna Lewis had harshly divorced and insulted. I was going to make him feel at least a glint of jealousy.
However, just as I made to fulfil my plans by closing my eyes and kissing Mr handsome back, he broke the kiss.
“I'm sorry, I–"he wanted to speak but I interrupted.
“Shut up and kiss me again” I whispered, closing my eyes and connecting our lips before he could even do so.
I didn't know how I did it, but I just made sure my hands were moving romantically on him while I imagined Lewis' anger in my head..
And then, it suddenly dawned on me that we were outside and the camera clicks I'd been hearing without paying attention to, since we began the kiss, was actually because we were being captured..
Mr. Handsome was popular and the pictures would surely go viral!..
Geez, don't tell me that won't make me escape being his wife!!
