It's been a week since I met my potential children, I got my PI to get information about them and their mom. He dropped the document two days ago and I find myself always coming back to the document when I'm less busy because of my fascination for their mother.
Sophia Summers, age 28, she's the breadwinner of her family with two siblings in the University of Los Angeles and a sick mom, she has loads of debts but she's hardworking. According to her file, she's very submissive and she got a restraining order to protect herself against her children's father because of his obsession over her, looking at her pictures I get why he's possessive of her.
You can't have such beauty and you won't be possessive, looking at her pictures alone brings out this possessive side of me that is hidden just for my family. Her innocence makes me want to place her inside a glass case to protect her from the evil of this world and I know I'm part of that evil.
I placed a few guards on her and her family, so I get reports on their activities while I plan how to come in and propose my contract to her. For her, I can do a ten year contract.
So far, my kids, yes my kids for the next ten years had issues in school again, Andre is a child I find myself in when I hear about him or look at his pictures, he's very protective of his sister the way I am of Lexi and he looks like me in a way while Andria is a child I see her mother’s attribute in. I will need to put more than enough bodyguards on her security details, Andre doesn't have to protect her by himself anymore I will be there to do the job.
I told Lexi, Mark and Blake about my plans, at first Lexi was against it but after I promised her that I will treat them like their biological father and I already liked their mother and the contract might be more in the future, she also accepted. They have showed the twins pictures to their kids introducing them as my kids and their kids can't wait to meet them, all that is left is a wonderful opportunity to meet their mom and give my proposal to her.
Like everyday, I just got out of a meeting at Knights headquarters. I'm presently in my office here going through some documents when the ringing of my phone pulls me out of my work, I picked it up to see it's one for the guards I put on Sophia's family.
“What do you have for me?” I answered coldly.
“Sir, Miss Sophia's mom was rushed into Sunnyside hospital just now.” He answered immediately.
“Follow them to know what's happening, get back to me as soon as you find out.” I said then hung up the phone as I continued working.
I was pulled out from my concentration by another ring, I picked up already knowing who it was, “Speak,” I commanded.
“Her mother needs surgery and the money is almost a million, I overheard her crying but her brother is with her presently.“ He replied immediately.
“Stay on them.” I said then I hung up. Finally an opportunity, don't get me wrong I would love to help but I also have an itch she only can help me scratch, I called my lawyers to prepare the contract and send it to me immediately while I wait for the guard’s call.
It's been hours since I heard from the guard but I'm a patient man and I can give more time if need be, my lawyer already dropped the contract and I must say he knows what he's doing at least I paid for the best legal team and that's what I got.
A ring pulls me out of work again which I picked “Talk to me,” I said.
“Sir, the twins just stepped out with their uncle, I think he's taking them home. Miss Sophia just stepped out also but she's not going with them, she seems to be in deep thoughts. I'm following her, I think she's going to Central Park.” He said.
I hung up immediately and I made my way to the underground car park using the elevator but not before I printed the contract and took it with me, I got into the parked Rolls Royce and my driver pulled out of the car park.
“Take me to Central Park,” I said to him, rereading the contract in my hands again, I know her brother is a law student and she might want him to read it for assurance. I saved the softcopy on my phone also, so she can send it to him easily for reassurance. There is nothing like being over prepared.
We got to Central park and it's a little dark so it's easier for me to avoid being seen by anyone, the curse of fame and wealth. I whined down my window and saw her sitting on one of the park seat while she cleans her face every few seconds meaning she's been crying. I pulled off my suit jacket, leaving me in my waistcoat and I stepped out of my car making my way towards her.
I sat down beside her but she's deep in thought, I must say pictures do her no justice. With her side view, you can tell she's beautiful and stressed.
“You know crying is never the solution.” I broke the silence after a few minutes, she jumped in fright and looked at me with fear evident in her eyes. She moved away from me slightly as if I was going to burn her.
“I don't bite, at least not you.” I said to her trying to soften my voice for her sake.
“I'm sorry for disturbing you with my sobs, sir.” She said, her voice sounds sweet and it was evident she wasn't forcing it. She cleaned herself up and was about to get up.
“You are not disturbing me, if you don't mind a problem shared they say is half solved.” I told her, placing my hand on her arm to stop her from getting up.
She took her arm away from my hand gently and she sat back, she looked into the park and sighs down heavily. “My mom needs surgery and I can't afford it, we just lost my dad we can't lose her also. I can't even save her when she needs me the most and she was there for me when I needed her.” She said after a few minutes, she cleans the tears that escaped from her eyes again.
“That’s unfortunate.” I replied quietly.
“Yes, it is. I have to come up with almost a million tomorrow if I want to save her, I'm quite unlucky aren't I?” She continued looking at me with a bitter smile on her face before she looked away again.
“That's a lot of money and little time.” I told her, not taking my eyes off her.
“Yes, it is.” She whispered back.
“What about I help you?” I proposed with a smile.
