Claire’s POV
Claire was still looking at Vladimir when he spoke.
“Ma’am,” Vladimir looked at her mom. “ Sir,” Then he looked at her dad.
“Just call us Mom and Dad, Vlad,” Her mom said.
She looked at her mom with shock in her eyes.
She heard her sister chuckle.
“Go for it, Vlad! And at long last, for a very long time, my sister has come home with a man!” Her sister, Carla, said.
She then glared at her sister.
“I’m really honored to hear that, Carla.” She heard Vladimir say. She looked at him sharply, but he didn’t bother looking at her.
“What---”
“So, as I was saying, Mom and Dad,” Vladimir cut her off.
“Can Claire and talk for a moment?”
“Yes, sure, of course.” Her dad said.
“Thank you,” Vlad said.
Vladimir looked at her. “Let's go, Claire.”
She walked past him and walked outside.
She felt that Vladimir was following her.
She opened their gates and walked outside.
“Let’s talk inside your car,” Claire said.
They successfully reached Vladimir’s car.
The driver opened the door of the back seat and let her in. He then closed it.
The moment the driver closes the door, Vladimir is also about to close the door when she speaks.
“What does my mom mean about you regularly coming to our home?”
Vladimir continued closing the door, and then he looked at her.
“Now that you know that I have been talking and telling your family that I have wanted to marry you, I think that is enough. You don’t need to know the reason why I did that. On second thought, I told you that I would tell you the reason why I asked you to marry me. So, you will know the reason once we get married.” Vladimir said coldly.
“Why don’t you just tell me everything now?”
“Claire, I really don’t have time for this. I already wasted enough time just to please your family.”
“Wasted enough time? Really? After all the trust and love they gave you, you just called that a waste of time? You know what, I don’t want to marry you! I don’t care if I signed a contract or we made a baby. I just don’t want someone like you in my life!” She harshly said. She tried to open the door of the car but couldn’t.
“Why can’t I open this damn door!”
“Okay. If that’s what you want, then you will never get a job in your entire life. I will get back your sister’s scholarship, I will also see to it that she will never get a job, and I almost forgot,” He laughed sarcastically.
“I will sue you,”
Claire harshly turned her gaze towards him at glared at him.
“I can’t believe that my family trusted someone like! And I can’t also believe that I let myself trust you! You are just plain evil! I want to undo everything! Everything! From the moment we met and up until now! I hope I can turn back time and undo the things I did! I hope I did not let you—-“ she stopped herself from bringing up their night together.
“As far as I can remember, you loved everything we did that night. If not, you will not moan and scream like that. You will not request for another round—-“
“What another round! I—-Stop! Will you?”
“You keep on asking me to do it over and over again, and now you are telling me you want to undo that? Ain’t that the happiest day of your life?”
This is the happiest day of my life.
Claire remembered that she said that to him.
“Stop!” Claire shouted.
“It was your fault why you got pregnant. I know that on our first round, I see to it that I won’t c*m inside you, but on our second and so on, of course, I couldn’t help but c*m inside. So, don’t blame me for everything, because it’s your fault, Claire. I’m drunk, and you are sane enough not to let that happen, so why are you blaming everything on me?” Vladimir said.
She looked at him. She was too stunned to answer.
“Isn’t this a good thing that I already talked to your family despite that we just happened to cross our paths again? They already gave their blessings to us, so why not take it and get married?”
She sighed and looked at the door and tried to open it gently. The door opened, she got out and closed the door.
She started walking towards their house.
She stopped, sighed, and looked back.
She saw Vladimir getting out of the car.
She waited for him to get closer to him.
I will never win to this man. He always sees to it that he is right and I am wrong. He always sees to it that I won’t be able to get out of this contract.
Why won’t he just tell me the reason why he wants to marry me? Why does he see to it that he will get a yes not just from me but also from my family? It’s not even a normal marriage.
Claire thought while looking at Vladimir.
Vladimir was near her when he asked him. “Did you tell them that I am pregnant?”
He stopped walking. They are now two meters away from each other.
He started walking towards her again and looked at her without breaking their gaze.
“No,” he replied.
“I don’t want to tell them that I am pregnant,” Claire said.
“Why?”
“Because it will complicate things.”
