The Ceo’s proposal

I was hurt, hurt and hurt too much, I think this hurt is stronger than Leo’s betrayal, “because I always fall in love with the wrong man” the worst thing is that I don’t know what to do, I can’t move until I have fully recovered.

He wanted to take away my rights to the baby behind my back, I never thought he was capable of doing such a thing, of doing that to me when I am already excited about this supposed relationship that I thought was real.

-Miss, don’t feel bad. Maybe things are not as you think.

-You want to take my daughter away from me, more clear than that was in that document.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

-Well, yes, maybe he was going to do it before… but what if he regretted it later when he fell in love with you?

-Stacy, that man is not capable of loving anyone, he is a robot that surely was programmed to only work and get what he wants at any cost, he only wanted to make me fall in love so I would sign blindly, surely.

I couldn’t think of any other way he could get my signature, “sign” I laugh to myself since the only thing I would have my signature is when I signed at the altar.

-Fucking bastard….

-What?

-The wedding… that’s where I would get my signature.

I can’t believe it, I seriously can’t believe I’m so naive to believe that someone like him could love me. Of course he’s just like his mother, insensitive and doesn’t care about anything but trying to control everyone as he pleases, ha. But he’s not going to do it with me.

-Here they are. -When he enters my room I avoid looking him in the face and turn my back to him when he goes to get the baby in her crib. -Hello…

I hear him cuddling his daughter and playing with her, out of the corner of my eye I turn to look at him but it was a mistake to do so since he was looking at me too, I hear him tell Stacy to get out, when the door closed, I feel him behind me, sitting on the edge of the bed.

-Are you really still mad at me?

-I have nothing to say. -I just know that my daughter and I will get out of here as soon as I feel better.

-What? -You’re crazy, of course not, my daughter won’t leave here to expose herself to those dangerous neighborhoods.

In between I open my mouth even more hurt, he only cares about our daughter, he doesn’t care about anyone else, how am I so blind. How stupid I am to trust him. He realizes what he’s saying as he sees a tear escape my eyes.

-That’s not what I meant…..

-No, you’re right. From the beginning that was what was agreed upon, a son in exchange for my studies.

-Listen to me, please. I care about both of them, I really care about you too, but it’s crazy that you want to take her to that place, they know you and they won’t have to tie loose ends to deduce that the baby is my daughter, do you know what could happen if that were to happen? They would kidnap her to ask for money for her.

“I hadn’t thought of that.”

Of course I wouldn’t put my daughter at risk, and I know I’m saying stupid things because I feel she doesn’t love me the way I thought she did.

-I saw everything that was in the envelope. -I won’t deny that I wanted to take Isabel away from you… but things are different now, since I realized that you were… adorable.

-Adorable?

-No one has ever told me that he misses me as much as you have, at first I made myself see that… it was because of the pregnancy, but… when we kissed… I realized that there was something in you that I wanted to keep enjoying you and suddenly, you became part of my life.

-You’re lying,” I murmur, holding back my tears, “You just want….

-Bianca, it’s true that I wanted to take our daughter away from you before, but… that was before our thing came up. I even told my mother to tell the lawyer that I would no longer go through with that absurd plan to take Isabel away from you.

-Your mother. -So your mother was part of it.

-I’m sorry, I thought that was in the past, I asked my mother if she was the one who sent it, but she said no, so now I’m investigating who sent it….

-The wedding, it was to make me sign the document, wasn’t it?

-I told you I didn’t want to do it anymore, I swear the marriage was real. I don’t know who the asshole was that did that but I assure you it wasn’t my intention.

Doubting again is something that only Eros has for me to trust him, of course I don’t want to do it, but if he tells the truth it’s because something happened, someone wanted to hurt me by sending me that envelope, he wanted to separate me from him and the only person who would do something like that is Melissa.

It takes me by surprise when he takes me by the hand to ask me if I believe what he says, of course someone sent me that for that purpose, but if I tell him it was her, he won’t believe me, but I will put him to the test and if he comes back to defend her, that will be it and I will leave here.

-I believe you. And I know who it was that sent that envelope.

-Who?

-Melissa.

I wait to see what he says or what his reaction is, but he remains neutral as if he hasn’t said anything, cocks a smile before kissing Isabel’s forehead. Anxiety is getting on my nerves as he wasn’t saying anything so I had to tell him to say something.

-Eros, you believe me, don’t you?

-Listen to me, you, you are the only one with me now, I don’t want you to be modified by anything, our daughter needs you. -Kiss my hand and then my forehead -You’re all I need, whatever they do, they won’t make me separate from you.

-Where are you going? -I said as I saw that he had a somber expression -Eros.

-I must organize some documents, I won’t be long.

My heart was beating slow as his silence martyred me, my tears overflowing as he prefers to defend that woman despite everything I tell him about her.
