"Didn't you hear a word I just said"
"I heard every single word. I'm not deaf" He said pushing aside the blankets. She could sense the anger rising up in him and she didn't know why. She turned away as he put on his sweat pants and sat back on the bed. She pulled the blankets up to her chest, clutching it tightly. Her face was stony and sad.
"So what do we do now"
"Nothing"
"What??!"
"I said. We do..."
"I heard you right. And why's that"
He smirked. It was bitter.
"Listen. Even if I wanted you to get you pregnant...it's not like I could"
Sophia looked at him in surprise.
"You're impotent?"
"Yes. I can't get a woman pregnant Sophia. I've never used a condom in my life"
"I don't believe you"
He shrugged. "You're close to Janvier. You trust her so I'm sure you can trust her enough to tell you the truth"
"Yeah. I can just go up and be like 'Hey Janvier. I want to know if your brother's impotent because we just had sex and I'm not sure if I'm going to get pregnant'. "
He chuckled and she looked at him.
"You can do that. I won't stop you but you should know that Janvier also have a problem of hers to deal with. So it's better if you don't ask her that"
"Problem? What problem?"
"She has no womb" He turned to look at her. "You're a woman. You should know what that means"
"She can't get pregnant" Sophia shook her head in disbelief.
'This can't be a coincidence' Sophia thought.
"What happened. I'm guessing someone or something was responsible for this"
"You're really smart Sophia. I like that. We need brains like you in our company"
Sophia somewhat felt proud feeling that the compliment was not from her enemy but from the CEO of her dream company.
Jason switched on the light and room was bright immediately. Sophia blinked quickly, adjusting her eyes to the light seeing as she had been in the dark for a while. That's when they saw a patch of blood on the bed.
Sophia flushed. Her shame was complete.
She waited for Jason to tease her but he just covered it up with part of the blanket and sat In front of her. He looked serious.
"You said someone might be responsible right?"
She shrugged this time. "Whoever the person was must have deliberately done it to erase the Medes out of existence seeing as you can't father a child who'll take over the Medes Empire while Janvier on the other hand can't bear an heir too"
Jason was greatly surprised. She really was a rare combination of beauty and brains.
"Who could have done something so cruel and inhuman"
Jason looked at her, his face....expressionless.
"Your Father".
