I said happily, smiling, “I am pregnant.”
He held my chin tightly and said, grinding his teeth, “So what do you expect, I should be happy. Go and abort this child and one more thing just because I played with your body; it doesn’t mean I will take responsibility for your filthy child.”
I was shattered. How could he say that I know he loves me? I have seen it with my own eyes. I still gathered my emotions and said, “Marco, why are you saying that we are married, how could my child be filthy?”
His hold on my chin tightened and said, “Even if we are married, you are not the woman who can bear my child, a useless woman like you is not worthy of carrying my child” He pushed me and luckily I fell on the sofa.
I had no words; everything went blank why he turned like this again. I stood again and said holding my tears, “Marco, I know you are angry with me for some loss which you suffered because of me, but I told you to let me work, and we can recover your loss.”
He looked at me angrily and said, “Do you even know? What have I lost? I lost my dream because of your foolish act at my engagement party.”
I frowned; I didn’t get what he said, what he meant by his engagement party. I don’t even know him; how could I ruin his dreams in his engagement.
I asked, “What do you mean, Marco, what are you talking about?”
He sneered and said, “Oh! Right, you don’t know the truth, right, ok let me tell you everything in detail, so my sweet little filthy wife, I was the person who was about to get engaged to your sister, I was supposed to be your brother-in-law.”
“It was the biggest business deal of my life if I would have got that project I would have got my dreams, but because of your drama of suicide I lost that opportunity”
“What problem you had being a mistress, yes it was me to whom your father had sold you that night. I wanted to keep you by my side as my mistress.”
“But because of your suicide attempt, everything turned upside down, I had to prepare a wedding certificate which said that I was about to marry you not your sister, I didn’t want to lose that project but still after all my efforts I lost that project.”
“I would have given you the world if you would not have created that drama and accepted to be my mistress but not wanted to show the world that you are such a pure girl that would die instead of selling her body.”
Jane’s POV
“After all my efforts, I still lost my dream, and I had to marry you to show the media that it was not a business marriage.”
When he completed saying all this I felt like the sky fell on me, I had a brutal realization, ‘he never loved me, he was the person who wanted me to be his mistress, and he did all this to take revenge from me.
This truth was unbearable for me, my tears kept on falling. I felt a problem in breathing, I was standing there with a body without a soul. He took away my soul.
He is the kind of person who only loves his dreams; emotions mean nothing to him. I didn’t have this bad feeling when I lost my Mum.
At that time, I was able to hold myself, I fell on the ground, but thanks to Mary she held me tightly and saved me from falling on the ground.
Marco was still not done spitting poison from his mouth and continued, “Oh! Yes, I remember you wanted to recover my loss, right? Ok I give you a chance; see Lucas had a great business deal to do, but I think I should repay him for his good deed.”
“Why don’t you sleep with Lucas for one night, after that I might think of keeping your child?”
I had lost all hopes on him at this moment. I never thought that he would turn out to be this kind of person; I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out of my mouth.
Mary was holding me tightly, she whispered in my ears, “Mam, be strong for your child.”
I was completely leaning on Mary; I had lost all my strength. I thought that my father was the most pathetic person on earth, but Marco proved me wrong. He was more pathetic than him.
A person who asks his pregnant wife to sleep with his friend, he doesn’t have a soul in his body. Before I could say anything or react, he said, “What, you don’t want to sleep with him? If you cannot do that, then, Nina.”
He called Nina; she walked towards him and gave him a paper. Taking the paper, he continued, “So, Jane Gilbert, if you do not sleep with Lucas, I will divorce you, and even I will spread the news in the media that the child in your Belly is not mine.”
Saying this he signed the divorce paper and threw it on my face, and said, “I have already signed it now the bet is on you, you always tell me that you love me right now, it’s time to prove it.”
Mary was about to speak, but Marco growled at her and said, “Don’t forget your place, Mary.”
I was still standing there dumbstruck; only one statement of Mary was ringing in my mind, “Mam be strong for your child.”
And this feeling of being a mother, who has to protect her child gave me some strength, but before I could react he again said, “Lucas, what are looking at, can’t you see, she didn’t say anything that means she is ready to sleep with you, come on man enjoy your night.”
