We entered in an air-conditioned room that I assume Porsha's room. I glance at the other door if my Natalie was living here, where she sleeps? Porsha's room was wide as Natalie's old apartment. There's a sofa and she stood with her mother. I cleared my throat and sat down as Gibson did the same. They sat down across us on the bed.
"I'm here to ask if Natalie Vera was related to you?" they each exchange looks, and I know what they both means.
"She's the daughter of my husband." So, Natalie didn't know that she's a daughter from another woman. "What about her? Was this related to her job?" Grace made a grimacing face.
"This wasn't about her job. But this is partially about it. However, I would like to ask where your husband is as well?"
"He's working away, he only comes home during weekends." Porsha answers.
"Hmm, what's your course?"
"Political Science."
"That's a hard one." I manage to smile a little and she smiled flirtatiously. "But Poli Sci is only for five years, yet you are still on Poli Sci, I assume?"
"We-well, I have to take up a few more subjects to—"
"I know that Political Science is a hard course and it's normal that students fail to their subjects. However, my concern is about Natalie. She's been working too much and tiring herself too much. The first wage that I gave her, costs thirty-thousand pesos, just wash out and I wonder where it goes and just after a month, she got kicked out from her apartment."
"What is your relationship with Natalie?" Porsha who wanted to keep herself a good sister asked.
"I'm her fiancé." They both gasps. "I would like to be direct to the point. I know that she's working hard for both of you. But how long will she keep this? I had read a few messages from her phone which is I accidentally had read it, and it wasn't good for her. So, I brought my lawyer here to explain to both of you about my offer."
"How did you become my sister's fiancé?"
"Simple, I do what men do to ask for his woman's hand." I pull out the envelope from the briefcase and show them the contract. "I'll pay for everything that she owes to you. In my estimation, she owes you the food and cares you give. So, I'll double that, which I guess costs seven-hundred thousand."
"She—she's…" Grace stammers.
"I understand ma'am. But as I check few backgrounds, she also worked and get a scholarship for her two-year course, and that didn't include the payment, am I right?"
"How dare you came here to calculate everything that we've done to her?"
"I have a reason to calculate Miss Vera." I look straight directly to her. I could be an ass, but I wanted my woman to be safe. "I already ask for a restraining order from the court. And other things will explain by my lawyer."
My lawyer explained about this restraining order that lasts until I pull it out. The contract will only be valid when they agreed on my stipulation. But the restraining order remains even though they will or will not sign my contract. I give them the copy with the law and the restraining order.
I offer them 1.5 million. For now, I give them half a million. Then the check was on the bank that will behold until I am assured that they will surely stay away from my Natalie. I might be an asshole and a selfish man. I'm doing this to protect her and my baby. They took it without hesitation because of 1.5 million. That's the only offer that I could give them, no more no less. I told them to never call her or text her. If this information leaks, they need to pay for penalties.
Colt sigh in relief as we get back. He gave me water and I drink the whole of it as we drove back. I and Colt went to my house after we drop Gibson at his house. I check on my wife as Colt serve our food with drinks. She's sleeping already. She looked so adorable and chubby. Still, she's the most beautiful and sexy woman I ever know.
"Baby," I murmur and kisses her cheekbone and then her lips. It woke her up and she smiled.
"Hey," I caress her round stomach and kisses it. "How was it?"
"Just fine, Colt was downstairs. You hungry?" she thought for a while.
"I guess I am. I need to see Colt." She's hankering Colt ever since that makes Colt thin and very tired. I don't know the scientific explanation about it. But Colt got a high fever because of her hankering about him. I don't want to make my son or daughter look like Colt. I wanted it to be me or her.
I help her up and we go downstairs. Colt smiled though it makes him weary whenever Natalie started harassing him. I fix her food the one she likes to eat and give her more proteins, iron, and calcium.
"Why are you so handsome?" she asked Colt.
"It's on my blood, Talie."
"Could you stay here for a night? I wanted to sleep with you." Colt got frozen and look at me in horror.
"Baby," I call her. "Baby, Colt can't sleep here."
"Why not?��� she pouted, her brows met together. Damn, she's just so adorable.
"He had an early appointment." Colt finished his drink and ask for a toilet. He left after kissing her on cheeks.
I take her to our room and cuddle her on the comfortable sofa as we watch SHIELD. I keep caressing her stomach and her arm. Her phone dings and she open it. Good, it wasn't her mother or sister. I only need to keep it from her, nothing else will happen if those two would shut up and wouldn't violate my rules.
"Why don't you want me to meet your family?" I suddenly ask her.
"Well, they are different."
"I can see that you work your ass hard for them."
