Chapter 7

"You are now my legal wife," he added "do you accept so?"
"I do.." she murmured
"Then, congratulations for being Mrs. Spear…"
A scene popped up in her mind, torturing her and reminding her of what she had committed. She whipped a sweat from his brow, trying to block the memory, however she was only remembering more and more. His words, touches, groans, whispers and breaths.
"That's it, that's it, my darling," he said. "And you mustn't resist your Lord and master, hmmmm?"
His voice controlled her, her face became pale and her lower body trembling, as she tried coming back into reality, though she continued staring into distance. And then she yelled loudly: "Curse you!!!"
"Me??" startled Anita "Why would you curse me??"
"No, not you!"
"Julia, whose child is it? Is it your boss's?"
"No.. Not Rafael's... I.. I do not really know.."
"You do not know whose child is it?! Oh my god!! How many guys did you sleep with??"
"Only one.. I got married... Please, do not let Rafael know about this.."
"You got married?? Oh my god!! When?? With whom??"
"I needed to!!"
"Why didn't you tell me??!!"
"Many things happened.."
"Is the child illegitimate?"
"No, I signed a marriage contract… But.."
"But?"
"The father does not know yet..."
"So, who is the father??"
"Please, do not let Rafael know!"
"Why did you tell me now??"
"I actually forgot about the incident!"
"And what will you do? Keep falling in love with him while being legally married?"
"No.."
"Then, what will you do?"
"I will stop seeing Rafael… He does not love me by the way… He only considers me as his best friend… And I will stay loyal to Samuel Spear…"
"Samuel Spear??? What the hell???"
"What?"
"He is married…. To Mr. President's daughter!
"OH MY GOD!!! I... I will abort the child... I guess..."
"You can not!"
"Eh?"
"If you were to abort, you will never have fertility anymore!"
"What do you mean by if I aborted I will not be able to get pregnant anymore???"
"Miss sergeant.. You know that the results of your test were positive and it is your first pregnancy in your late age, so if you want to keep the child, it will be your one and only and if you insist on aborting it, then it is up to you.."
Was that child a blessing or a curse for her??
When her private gynecologist handed the report to Julia Park, her face had gradually turned white and lifeless as her hands trembled when she read the thin papers..
"I.. I want to have a child.." she cried "I am already old.. But I do not know what miserable it might cause me… Also, Samuel would never accept to abort the baby..."
"Why doesn't he? How did you know?"
"He said… I would be so glad to become your husband and the father of your children…"
"Uh… Could it be… In my conceptions, I guess he is the one."
"Who?"
"Did you forget? You met a long ago."
"Huh?"
"I guess he is Samuel Spear. He is billionaire CEO of a wine company. I saw him only once, three months ago, when his wife got pregnant. However, he did not accompany her anymore, I guess he does not love her."
"Eh?"
"I know you have a lot of questions, but yes. He is a married 30 years old billionaire, I assumed that he does not love his wife because he did not accompany his wife in the echo scanning, in addition to having an affair with you."
"I must get divorced with this man quickly."
"Do not, ever, search for him! I guess he is searching for you now."
"What? Why?"
"Do you expect a man to get married to a random woman, sleep with her, get her pregnant and leave her free as his escaping wife? He will find you soon, especially after knowing about your pregnancy!"
"Are you the police woman or am I?"
"You are the troublemaker! Now, try to remember that man, he is the one! Most likely he will assign some of his men to watch you and might pop out in front of you any moment!"
"Why are you talking about him like that? As if you have known him long ago…"
"We did… On… On your brother's death…"
"Eh?"
"Forget about it… I will assist you in your pregnancy, as a mother, a gynecologist and your best friend!"
"Oh Anita, I love you!"
"Do not push him away…"
"What? Why??"
"He is him! So, believe in me and be gentle with him."
"Anita, please remember that I am only married on a contract and not so happy."
"I am sure that you will be…"
"Congratulations for your pregnancy!" her phone buzzed and she got a message from a number.
"Who is it?" asked Anita
"It is… My husband…" murmured Julia "When did he know?"
"Maybe he was monitoring your results… He is strong enough to do so…"
"Eh? Umm…"
"Thank him and act fluffy!"
"Never!"
"That is why you would never get a husband! Samuel is a good man, you must only know the story behind him…"
After she had returned home, Julia asked to see Rafael and tell him about everything.
"Rafael, it all happened on my birthday." She started "I have received a letter mentioning some sensitive topics and asking for a marriage. The sender told me to meet at the waterfalls, where a luxurious cottage was located. The appointment was on my birthday, so I accepted. I went to the destinated location and was shocked to find out that a man, who looked exactly like you. Blonde hair, blue eyes, clear white skin, small nose and pink lips. A combination of English and Asian."
"The man slept with you…" startled Rafael as he stared wide eyed at her. He could have killed his brother for what he had done.
"Yes, he slept with me and kissed me deeply in love, then he convinced me to sign a contract… And I accepted..."
"A marriage contract, right?"
