Be My Wife

SARAH'S POV "Is this how you talk to customers, Sarah? Where are your work ethics?" Sir... He was being a p*****t and was asking me for a night out. And he won't buy anything from the art gallery because he is here just to stare at me and the female staff. "My manager breathes only for money and doesn't care about anything else. You are not to tell whether he buys the painting or not. Just keep your mouth shut and put on a smile if you want your salary on time. " Before I could rebel, he left to lick that man's ass. IDK if the men described in romance novels or movies will become real someday. Being a student who can't afford the last year's graduation fee and has to work to earn it sucks. My dream was to be a fashionista and here I am selling stupid paintings to even more stupid customers. Nevermind, I am used to all this bullshit. I do have a family who doesn't even want me since I am the unsuccessful member. My mom and dad live nearby, but I would rather die than to live with them and my elder sister lives in Chicago due to her work issues. After receiving all types of comments and stares, at the end of the day only Maya can lighten up my mood. "Hey Maya....hot chocolate please. " "Shittt work day …right?" "You see straight through me. I wish you were my mother. " "Ohh common... I am too young to be your mother. " "Yeah, 40 years is definitely too young." We both chatted for the next one hour about the customers, and we were laughing as hell. Maya is a beautiful lady in her early 40s. She has a small café near my apartment. I have been coming here for almost 8 months and I bond with her better than I do with my mom. She is a happy, positive lady who brings the best in me and cheers me up when I am at my lowest. But life definitely is a b***h ....she lost her daughter 5 years ago to Leukemia, and she dedicated her café to her daughter. She always tells me that I am just like her late daughter. "When do you start planning to date Sarah? You are 23 and still single. Get yourself some balls' sweetheart. It's time to explore your v****a, not an art gallery. " "Ok not this topic again. IDK why are you so interested in my dating life that doesn't even exist. " "s*x can relieve a lot of stress. You should try it. " "I am leaving. Good night. Bye " "I hope you get your romantic partner soon, my love." She yelled from my back as I jumped towards my apartment. I was smiling and lost in my thoughts when something hit my leg. I lowered my gaze to my feet and to my surprise there was a sweet little baby girl hugging my leg and crying her lungs out. "Heyyyy, stop crying sweetie," I said to her, which I think she didn't understand. I never saw or heard a baby in my neighborhood which was filled with a heap of fuckboys, but on my low budget, this was my only choice. Thankfully, my homeowner is very trustworthy, so I feel safe when I am home. I picked up the baby girl from my leg and looked at her. Her eyes red from crying and messed up small hairs. Tears falling from her blue eyes and I couldn't control more my urge to say "Awwwwn.....you are so beautiful. " I don't think she could speak much because she might be 2 or 3 according to her tiny size. She looked at me and stared for a moment and then gave me the brightest smile that took away all my worries. My heart just melted with that smile. It's been so long since I met a baby like her. I have a soft spot for infants, specifically girls. They are just so beautiful and admirable. But right now I have to figure out where her parents are. No one was near her when she ran to me. How irresponsible of her parents. She was dozing off again and again over my shoulder and I patted her back to sleep. She instantly blacked out on my shoulder. I had no guts to disturb her, so I sat on the nearby pedestrian chairs. After a few minutes. I heard someone shouting out blue.... blue....blue. Where are you blue ? And the voice was coming near me when my eyes met another pair of ocean blue eyes just like the baby on my shoulder. I was not sure if he was her father until. "Is this my baby girl on your shoulder?" he asked with worry in his eyes. "Sir, I don't know if you are her father. And I can't give you the baby just because you say it. " "Miss...whatever your name is, she is my daughter Blue. I was there for a business and my bodyguard didn't realize when she left the car, and we couldn't find her. " "Ok Sir. You might be her father, but I think I will give this baby to you in front of the police after they verify you as her father. And that happens only when she wakes up. " His jaw clenched, and a cold stare was passed to me by his ocean blue eyes. He came near to me almost inches away from my face when he whispered in my ear. "You better not wake my daughter up, darling. Else you will be doomed. " And a shiver caressed my body. I looked up at him staring at his daughter but with super soft eyes. "Mr...whatever your name is. Please sit down. I will not run away with your daughter. So relax and sit. He took the seat beside me where her daughter was facing. "Your name ?" he asked. "Sarah and your?" "Christian Knight" How can someone be so handsome? He was a Greek god, honestly. Chiseled cheeks with a sharp jawline and blue eyes deeper than the ocean. He must be 6'3 in height as he towered me. I could see his muscles flexing under his shirt as he sat with his hands on his lap. It was not supposed to be this hot. Veins and watches on men's arms are my weakness, and I was literally drooling. "Are you done staring at me Sarah?" A voice interrupted my thoughts, and I was caught in 4k. And now I am embarrassed. "I was not staring. Btw, nice tattoo on your arm. " "I know" egoistic asshole for sure. After half an hour of waiting for the baby girl to wake up. She finally opened her eyes and a smile appeared on the face of the man sitting beside me. She opened her mouth to say something but started coughing. I patted her back softly. "You are up, sweetie," I said to her, and she smiled her magical smile. I could feel someone staring at me. I comforted the baby on my lap and let her open her eyes properly. She rubbed her eyes and took a deep breath and her eyes fell on the man beside me. "Dadda" were the words left her mouth and a smile of victory spread on the Christian's face. She smiled at her dadda as she called him and signaled him to take her from me. He leaned forward and again too close to me and his eyes met mine before the shifter to the baby again. "My blue...where did you go sweetheart? Do you even know how worried I was? Thank god nothing happened to you someone else would have died tonight. " I was dumbstruck by the words he said. He checked every single corner of his baby girl to see if she was hurt. The baby was constantly smiling at him and I knew he was the father. "Where is her mother ?" I asked. "She doesn't have one." "Oh, I am sorry, Christian. I didn't know " "Don't be. Her mother was a w***e she left the minute she gave birth to my baby girl with 2 million USD in cash. " What the hell? How can someone leave their daughter for 2 million or even 2 billion? Awful women. "So you are a single parent." He answered with a nod and nothing else. He was constantly looking at his daughter. "Her eyes are just like yours." "I know...she is my clone," I chuckled. "I have never seen you here in this area. Are you new here?" "No... I came here to meet someone. They took a loan from me and never repaid it back. So I have my way to get the money." "So are you a money recovery agent? " He took a pause and stared at me with raised eyebrows. "No darling, I am not. I am the CEO of Blue Heavens, the hotel chain." And again, a dumbstrucking announcement. No doubt he looked rich. I am sure he had a lot of money because the watch he was wearing was a ROLEX. And rolex doesn't come cheap. "I came to take my money back from the asshole here, but he doesn't have any." "That's none of my business. But please be careful with your daughter. She is so small and delicate. Take care of her nicely. " He didn't reply to me at all. Definitely egoistic asshole. It was almost 10 o clock at night and my apartment was still a 10-minute walk away. "I will leave you father and daughter. I need to go home. Take care." "Sarah," a voice stopped me from behind. "Thank you for taking care of my most precious thing. Let me know if I can pay you back with something. "It's fine. I am glad you guys are fine. " I left for my apartment and he followed me. When I asked him if he was following me, he said that his bodyguards and his car were waiting over there. "Ohhhh, look who is out here........the sexy Sarah. Hey Sarah, come join me. Let's see what you got," sweetheart." As I said, my area was filled with heaps of fuckboys. "One more word and you won't have s*x your entire life, "a deep voice warned the man. I turned around to see Aaron walking towards him and I instantly ran towards him. Pulling his arm was useless since he was so huge. "You don't have to make a scene, Christian. They aren't worth that much of a hustle. So please walk and see blue is also tired. Go home. I can take care of myself. " He stared at the man one last time and followed me again. "You should live somewhere safer. " "I can only afford this. " "I can buy you a new apartment wherever you want. " "So generous of you but thank you. This is my apartment, and please go on. Bye bye blue, blue," she smiled at me once again, and I went to my apartment. Believe me, this baby's smile has healing properties.
