Chapter 10 - CHAPTER NINE (How to cope)

The next morning, Mylar woke up feeling a bit weak but she was also very happy because she was finally leaving her shabby apartment for a large Mansion and that her child will also get all the luxurious it deserves. Vida was snoring next to her on the bed.

"If i tell "I will let you live in the house with us, I think you deserve it after what my son did to you."

"I didn't do anything forcefully, she agreed to do it." Camilo murmured angrily, luckily for him, Mr Julian didn't hear what he said. Mr Julian asked for Mylar's silence until the matter is settled.

"But I would like you to keep it a secret and let me handle things."

After hearing her husband's decision, Mrs Camila clapped with joy, Elio smiled seeing how happy his mom was, Mr Julian was also happy to see his wife's mood. For several years now, she didn't even want to talk to anyone let alone laugh or be happy.

"But I have a condition for the sake of my son." Mr Julian said to Mylar who was beginning to feel relieved as it seemed that a heavy weight has been lifted from her shoulders.

"What is it sir?" She asked feeling a bit nervous, she was wondering what favor he could possibly want from her.

"You two are going to get married but it will be a contract marriage." Mr Julian replied her, Camilo heaved a sigh of relief at what his dad said, he couldn't imagine spending the rest of his life with Mylar, he could handle a year or two. Mylar quietly replies.

"A contract marriage, that's fine but for how long will the contract last?"

"The contract will begin immediately after you both sign the papers I will ask lawyer to prepare and then it end when the child turns three but after that, you will be leaving the child in our custody when the time comes, you don't have to be concerned about the child, we will take proper care of him or her and give it the very best of everything. You also will receive a huge sum of money enough to start up your life." Mr Julian replied.

Mylar became sad at the thought of giving up her child, that will be inhuman of her. She didn't want to spend her life with Camilo either but still, she can't just give up her child.

"Can I be given some time to think about it?" She asked Mr Julian, after some minutes of thinking it through.

Mr Julian looked at Camilo and then back at Mylar and then gave his approval, then Mr Julian said to her.

"I will ask my driver to take you back to your house."

"Thank you sir." They both chorus and said goodbye to Mrs Camila who was still insisting that Mylar stays with her, Mr Julian assured her that Mylar would live with them and that was when Mrs Camila finally calm down. They went outside to wait for the driver to bring the car to the front.

"I didn't think his dad will easily accept you but I am glad at how things turned out." Vida said to Mylar as they were waiting.

"I am glad too but I don't really think I can let them keep my child after giving birth, it's isn't easy for me to let go of a part of me just like that." Mylar said with sadness showing on her face.

"I know it's hard but we both know, you can't take care of the child, we could just tell them that you should be allowed to visit your child from time to time. What about that?" Vida asked.

"That's a very good idea." Mylar said, she never thought of that, this way her child will know she exist.

Hi!!! called a lovely voice from behind them, they both turned around quickly and saw the tall masculine guy with the cutest smile. Vida raised waved her hand in front of her with a stupid smile on her face.

"Hi." They both replied, they didn't notice him earlier because of all the chaos.

"I don't think the driver is coming anytime soon, why don't you do me the honors of allowing me to take you to your house." Elio said with a smile.

"And who might you be?" Mylar asked and Vida pinched her hand a little. Mylar looked at Vida with both an annoyed and surprise look on her face, why would Vida pinch her like that, she only did that when she doesn't want her to talk.

"We don't really mind you dropping us off. Maybe you could tell us more about yourself on the way." Vida said and his hand, this really surprised him and Mylar.

He drove them to Mylar's house in his black exotic electric car, a porsche taycan turbo S. Vida sat comfortably in the front after begging Mylar to seat at the back, Mylar agreed and sat quietly the back. The car was super fast and so beautiful, both in and out. After a little of driving in silence, Vida broke the silence by asking.

"You haven't told us who you are yet. We are afraid you might be a kidnapper." He looked at her slightly with a smile and turned his gaze back to the road.

"What a question to ask after riding in his car for over twenty minutes." Mylar thought to herself.

He looked at Mylar in the rear view mirror, she wasn't even looking at them, she seemed busy with her own thoughts. He then replied Vida's question.

"I am Elio, Mr Julian's second child and Camilo's younger brother."

Mylar suddenly showed interest, she looked at Elio from behind with shock written on her face. It was indeed rather shocking, everyone knew Camilo have a brother but no one has ever seen him before and who could believe that his brother was such a gentleman. Vida smiled, though she was shocked but she was also glad to be privileged to meet him, he is such a charming young man with great looks as well unlike his asshole of a brother.

"Though Camilo is more handsome and sexier than him but who cares, this guy's a better person than Camilo." Vida thought to herself.

"Camilo's brother." Mylar exclaimed loudly, he heard her and smile.

"Yes I am but do not see me like Camilo because I am nothing like him. His is an exact copy of his dad and I am, of my mom." Elio said to her, he didn't want them to see him differently now that they knew who he was. After getting to Mylar's house, Elio off the engine and turned towards Mylar, then he said to her with sincerity.

"I am sorry for whatever pain my brother caused you. He's just like that, an asshole, a total jackass and fucking arrogant billionaire, his money gets into his head and makes him think, he can do whatever he wants. I need you to trust me and to also be free to ask me for whatever you and the child might need, I will make sure to give it to you." Mylar thanked him for his kindness, he got out of the car, went around and opened the door for Mylar and then went to open the door for Vida like the gentleman that he was. Vida smiled, she has never been treated like this before.

From afar, someone came approaching them with a big fake smile on her face, it was Mrs Linda, Mylar's annoying landlady. She called out to Mylar sweetly as she saw Elio carrying her bag, she felt that the father of her child was finally here to take his child and he also seemed rich from the way he was dressed, so she wanted to be nice to Mylar now.

"Mylar! You are welcome back, I have been waiting for you, I thought I check up on my pregnant tenant but it's seems the father of the child is already here to check up on his child."

Mylar remembered how the landlady called her a slut who opens here legs for every man, she even went ahead to threaten her, she told her that she was going to send her out of house soon but all of a sudden, she is now acting all sweet, it's obviously because she saw Elio and his fancy car.

"Oh that's so sweet of you. You lying old witch" Vida said mocking her.

"I might be a lying witch but we all know that Mylar is knocked up right?" The old woman replied Vida's tauntingly now mocking Mylar, she had forgotten all about her plan of being nice to Mylar.

"She isn't knocked up, she is my brother's girlfriend and they both love each other very much. It is because of their love for each other that they are having this child and I am not lying." Elio interrupted Miss Linda to the surprise of them all. Elio continued talking.

"She is going to be my sister-in-law and the wife to Camilo Wylder."

When Miss Linda heard this she was shocked and felt ashamed of herself.

"The same Camilo Wylder, son to Mr Julian Wylder?" Miss Linda asked almost to herself but Elio replied her.

"That's means you must be Elio Wylder?" She asked with her now shaking fingers pointed at Elio.

Elio smiled and instead of replying her, he took Mylar's hand and they went away.

Mylar woke up early and got up from bed while Vida was still sleeping by her side.

"If I tell her that she snores, she will refuse to accept it but look at her now." She took out her phone and shot a quick video of Vida, then she got up and went into the bathroom to take a warm bath but the water was so cold, she had to manage it, it was upsetting.

"That's why i hate it here." She said upset.

After her bath, she came out and still found Vida sleeping and she smiled. She went to her wardrobe and took out all the cloths that was in it and dropped them on the bed.

She dragged out her box which she kept safe since a very long time ago from under the bed, she sat down at the edge of the bed and started folding each cloths neatly into the box. She was almost done when Vida turned around on the bed, she cleaned her eyes with her hand and got up to a sitting position.

"Is it morning yet?" She asked and yawned loudly, Mylar shakes her head showing her dissappointment and replied her.

"No, we are still in eleven thirty pm of yesterday."

Vida chuckled, she knew that Mylar was only jocking. she got down from the bed and started helping Mylar out with folding the rest of the cloths. Vida later ordered for pizza with the last money on her and while they were busy enjoying their pizza, a gentle knock was heard on the door. Vida's faced lit up in happiness, she prayed and hoped that it would be her prince charming Elio at the door, maybe he has come to pick them up, she rushed to the door even before Mylar could ask who it was but on opening the door, she was disappointed.

"Mrs Linda." Vida called out half-heartedly. Mylar got up quickly on hearing the name, when she got to the door she asked.

"What do you want?" She didn't hid her disgust when she asked the question to the old lady who had the same silly smile she always has on her face. Even after seeing Mylar's reaction she went ahead to answer Mylar's question with another question of her own.

"Am i not even allowed to come here?"

"No you are not allowed to, Miss Linda." Vida said in the nicest way she could, but it still sounded rude.

"You don't have to be angry with me anymore, i already apologized." Miss Linda said and smiles again, her face wrinkling even more at every false smile.

Hello!! Called a masculine voice from behind Miss Linda. Vida's heart skipped a beat and melted at the sound of his voice, she pushed the old lady slightly out of the way and went outside the room. There he was in a black rangler, white pants and well polished expensive shoe with the most cutest smile in the world on his face.

"Hi Elio." Vida greeted with a shy smile and pushed her hair behind her ear, he returned her greeting with a warm smile and gave her a hug, as they hugged she held him tightly and could hear her heart beat fast as well as his heart beating calmly. He managed to pull her away gently from himself and went towards Mylar who was still standing behind her landlady looking at Vida and Elio with a smile on her face and thoughts racing in her head. Miss Linda couldn't stop calculating in her head as she watched Elio, how much all he was wearing cost.

"Good morning Mylar." He greeted sweetly and gave her a peck on her left cheek.

"Good morning Elio, you are here early." Mylar greeted back with a smile.

"I have to tell you that we all eager to welcome you home, especially me. I want to be close to you so that i can be the first to meet the newest member of the family when it comes into the world." Elio said with a smile, he went on his knees and kiss Mylar's big tummy.

"My name is Uncle Elio little one." Elio said with a smile and got back on his feet.

Mylar smiled, she was really happy to see that her child was already getting all the love and affection it deserves even before being born. She only hoped that the other family members are as nice and sweet as Elio and won't make her child suffer.

Vida invited him in, he was still looking around the tiny room when Mylar offered him a chair to seat on.

"My house isn't big or fancy like yours." Mylar said when she saw him looking around and he laughed, he sat down on the chair and said to her.

"True, it's big and fancy but it lacks happiness and love. I don't mind having a small house if it's filled with love, happiness and people who truly care about each other."

"Aww!!! even your way of thinking is beautiful." Vida complimented with a smile, her words almost made Mylar laugh. Hearing the way Vida was complimenting such a small thing made Vida sound silly.

"Vida seems to be serious about Elio, look at how she can't stop blushing even though he's not showing any real interest." Mylar thought to herself. Elio helped Mylar carry her box and some other little things to the car. Mylar locked the door of her house and took the key with her to Miss Linda's room.

Miss Linda had angrily gone back to her room earlier on when she saw that Mylar paid no attention to her. After a few gentle knocks, she opened the door and came outside.

"Here's the key to the room, i am leaving." Mylar said and handed the keys to her. Miss Linda collected the key reluctantly. She couldn't allow Mylar leave with a rich man just like that without getting anything from her.

"After all the favors I did for her." Mrs Linda thought to herself and then said aloud to Mylar.

"You do know that you still owe me some money." Mylar and Vida both looked at each other shocked by her untrue outburst, what money was she talking about, it seemed Miss Linda will never try to mend her sly ways.

"I don't owe you anything." Mylar said to her.

Miss Linda insisted and they both started arguing until Elio cut the argument short by bringing out his wallet that contained quite a large sum of money.

Damn!!! Vida exclaimed under her breath when she saw the money.

He took out a bundle, probably $1000 and handed it to Miss Linda, her face suddenly brightened up and she eagerly grabbed the money from him. Mylar looked at him with shock on her face, she couldn't understand why he would do that when she didn't owe the old lady anything.

"Why did you give her so much money?" Mylar asked as they got into his car, he turned towards her and replied.

"I wanted to stop her from wasting any more of our time and that money wasn't even much. Mylar and Vida's eyes opened wide at what he said, Vida remarked.

"Not too much, that money would enough to last me for two years and i know it even without counting it." Elio smiled at her remark, that was indeed true but not in his case, he has more than enough. He's a fucking billionaire.

"We are here." Elio announced as they got down from the car, Mylar and Vida giggled, off course they know that they have arrived.

They all went in and were met by Miss Emelda and few other staffs halfway in, they welcomed Mylar to the Wylder's Mansion in a respectful way and went outside to bring her luggage in while Mylar, Elio and Vida continued into the house.

On getting outside to bring in the luggages, Miss Emelda was surprised by what she saw, Mylar only brought a small box and two leather bags containing some stuffs.

"I even have more luggages than her." Miss Emelda remarked and laughed, the staffs were also surprised to see that Mr Camilo's wife to be didn't have more than one box to bring into her new home.

They met everyone seated waiting for them to come in as they got inside, Mylar and Vida greeted everyone politely. Mrs Camila jumped up from where she sat, with the brightest smile on her face when she saw Mylar, she ran towards Mylar.

"You are finally here, i've been waiting since morning for you to come. I made you different kinds of foods." She said excitingly after giving Mylar a hug.
