After knocking for a while, he was about to leave when he realized the door wasn't locked, he pushed the door and walked in and she was still glued on the same spot.
"I have been knocking, you have been standing there and you didn't reply?" He arched his eyebrows at her but she didn't say a word.
She never wanted him nor any of her clients to know her house, but Mira being Mira won't even listen.
He looked at the couch and so many shopping bags were there.
"Are you coming in or going out?"
"Both, what are you doing in my house?" She asked finding her tongue.
"We need to talk," he said sitting on the space left on the couch.
"You want to stop the sessions?" She asked the first thing that came to her mind hoping it could be true.
"It depends,"
She walked to the couch and created more space the sat next to him with a little distance between them.
"Ok, what do you want to talk about?"
"You promised to help?"
"That's my duty to all my clients,"
"So, I have a request,"
"Bring it on,"
"I'm going to pay you, $1000000, that's if you accept to carry my baby, my doctor said he could do it,"
"The deal we had is not that,"
"I know, I'll make life comfortable for you and give you everything you want if you carry my baby,"
"What of my life? Having a kid is not a journey to the park, I don't think I can. Find someone else," she rejected the offer, as much as the money sounded good, like it's tempting, with the current economy of prices going up each day who want that kind of money?
She got up to walk away and he got hold of her hand.
"You made a promise, and I need it urgently, please think about it,"
"My baby to go away from me? I give out my baby because of money? What will he or she think about me? I put money Infront of his wellbeing? I can't do that,"
"Put down all your conditions and send it to me. This is my card," he stretched it out for her and she took it after few minutes of thinking.
"Think about it," he added as the door opened and Pablo walked in with Isabel behind him.
"What are you supposed to think about?" He asked and she freed her hand from Aiden immediately.
"Babe," she called out heading to him but he raised his hand stopping her.
"Who is he? What is he doing here? What are you thinking about? Why is he holding your hand?" He rushed his questions and she smiled.
To ease the temperatures rising in the room and second because she was now sure he still loved her that was why he was jealous.
"His name is Aiden, he is my client," she introduced him and Pablo turned to face Isabel who was speechless.
"You brought me here to be embarrassed right? You knew about this and you thought it wise I should come for this nonsense?" Pablo asked.
"No, I wanted you guys to talk and make up, I didn't know this," she responded.
She was being honest but there was no way Pablo was going to believe that. Isabel and Annie are best friends, they always cover up for each other, hide each other's secrets, they precisely know everything about each other.
When Isabel left her house to Pablo's office, she wanted them to talk because she had noticed how both him and Annie were hurting.
Annie can act strong but she knew her better to know if she was fine or not. Ever since she broke up with Pablo, she has never been fine, but meeting this, she to was disappointed in Annie.
"Babe, it's not what you are thinking," Annie tried speaking but he stopped her.
"So you also know what I'm thinking right?"
"You know what, I'm sorry for interfering in your wonderful time, it's good you have moved on in two weeks," he added and walked out.
"Pablo," Isabel called out but he didn't even stop his heart was shuttered.
"I'm disappointed in you," Isabel said and rushed after Pablo.
All this while Aiden was silent, he actually didn't know what to say as he didn't know how they will take it.
He may say something and spoil everything for her.
"I want to be alone," Annie told him but he didn't even move.
"Are you happy with what you have done? Leave my house, I want to be alone," she added and he got up.
"I'll be expecting your call," he spoke calmly.
"I won't do it, find someone else," she responded and he walked out disappointed, she was the only one he could think of.
Driving to his friends place, he had so much going on in his mind that he almost ran into someone.
He didn't even get down to apologize, he just drove off.
Sitting on the couch, she couldn't help but cry, she knew Pablo so much that she didn't think he could even listen to her explanation now she lost him for good.
She loved him so much and it broke her heart that he did not understand her, if only he understood her then maybe they won't be here.
Aiden meant no harm.
"Are you sure?" Her subconscious mind asked.
Maybe she was sure, maybe she wasn't, or she was just trying to make herself believe she was sure.
He meant harm, how can you carry a child and give it up after delivery? It was harm to both the mother and the baby.
She heard her door open and the first thought that came was that maybe Aiden was back so she didn't even look up.
"What did you forget?" She asked.
"He also forgets things in your house? Since when?" Isabel asked walking in.
"Isa," she called out looking at the door and she wasn't smiling.
"Start explaining what was that?"
"It's not what you think,"
"I haven't started thinking so don't make me start, what was that?"
"Mira gave him my house address, I swear, I didn't welcome him. I was walking out on him and he got hold of my hand,"
"Why was he here? Why didn't he say he was the one who came when Pablo was here?"
"I don't know why he didn't say the truth, but I chased him out,"
"What did he want?"
"He offered me $1000000, to have his child,"
"You see, if only you had stopped this career of yours would you be here? If only you didn't entertain his nonsense from the start, he won't be here. Now see what you have gotten me into, Pablo thinks I knew all this while. Why do you always land me into trouble?" Isa asked.
"I'm sorry,"
"What will sorry do? You made me look like a fool. Was it a crime that I wanted you to be happy? I left my house to go to his house and convince to listen to you and make things work and what do I get? Embarrassment,"
"I'm sorry," she said pleadingly. Apologizing was all she could do hoping Isa will understand her.
"How should I help you? Make me understand, what should I do as your sister to help you because I'm getting tired?" She asked sitting on the couch.
