playing by my baby’s daddy rules

Micheal’s POV “There are only 2 rules Sophia, one do not fall in love with me two don’t get pregnant” I said staring at her “Only two rules Michael and my mothers debt will be paid off?” “Yes Sophia but if you break them you owe me 10 grands” “So I am supposed to be your contract lover for 5 years?” Sophia said as she reached out for the contract papers to sign them. “Yes and you will get your reward at the end of the deal” I said “I will keep to my own part of the bargain make sure you keep to yours I don’t want anything to happen to my mom Sophia said with deep emotions. 5 years have passed and Sophia is now my secretary. “Knock knock” Sophia said at my office door “Come in I said staring at the gorgeous woman standing before me “Here are the files you asked for Boss” she said softly and she turned to leave but I Took her by her hands and brought her close to my chest. “What are you doing Michael ? We are in your office, she said with a seductive smile. “I am the CEO so you have got nothing to worry about, come to my house later by 8pm there is something I want to tell you” I said with a beaming smile “8pm, Alright whatever the boss says, she said and left my office. I have never believed in love with any woman but ever since I met Sophia my perspective about love has changed completely. I brought out and stared at the expensive diamond ring I bought to pop the big question and ask Sophia to marry me, when suddenly I was interrupted by mom “I hope that ring is for Cindy? She and her family are flying in from England to discuss our deal” she said as she sat on my chair with her legs crossed “I told you already mom,I am in love with someone else” I said with a long face “In Love? With who? That useless secretary of yours?”she laughed “oh Michael marriage is not about love its about alliance, is about keeping our family at the top of the hierarchy, As the heir you have a duty to marry Cindy” she said adjusting my tie “Mom I don't want to look back to my life in 40 years and realize that I ended up just like you and dad stuck in a loveless marriage” I said ,but before I could finish the statement a heavy slap landed on my face Taaaah !! “how dare you Micheal!? Without your dad and me you would be nothing! Without the Mahone name you would have nothing” she said “Wow just wow!!” I said “and without the name I will forge my own name and find my path” I said and I picked up the file Sophia brought earlier and walked away. I walked into my limo packed outside and asked my driver Theo to drop me at my house “It's unlike you boss, you closed so early today, is everything alright”he asked “Yes everything is alright I have a date at 8pm so I want to prepare ahead of time” I chipped in He drove off and stopped at the packing lot of the magnificent building I live in, walking into the living room I saw Cindy. “What are you doing here Cindy?I know the reason why you are here and hey I am not marrying you! Listen !” “But your mother said you want to marry me Michael,” she said, sitting beside me. I brought out the diamond ring from the pocket of my black suit opening it I said to Cindy “you see this ring here tonight I am going to be proposing to the woman I love, I have never ever loved a woman so please just let it go and leave” “I would let it go but at least give me one last friendly hug” she whispered into my right ears All my attempt to resist her advances towards me failed “I flew all the way down here to see you Micheal and this is what I get?she said still trying to reach for my lips. I noticed Cindy was constantly looking towards the window behind me as she spoke so I turned to know why and immediately I spotted Sophia at the window but she hid the moment she saw our eye met eyeball to eyeball. “You have to leave now Cindy” I echoed “Ok fine!” say whatever you want to say Micheal but our engagement is all over the news whether you like it or not She said and stood up she acted like she wanted to leave and when she saw I wasn't paying attention she grabbed my neck and started kissing me, I pushed her immediately “Cindy, enough of the games! It's late, you should go. I patted her and left the living room. ************************************************************* Sophia is supposed to be here by 8pm It is 8pm already and she is never late for any of our dates. What could be the problem? I asked myself Maybe she could be busy or something, I decided to go to her house myself, I picked up the file which is going to end our contract as lover and the diamond ring which I am going to use to propose to her I dressed up and headed straight to her house Tonight is going to be the most memorable day of my life, I said with a hopeful smile as my driver drove off the compound.
