Chapter 2

“I am here now, what did you need to talk to me about?” the man’s deep and arrogant voice startled Camila and the baby too.

Before she could talk, the baby started to cry again and the man stood up swiftly. He was surprised, he didn’t expect that the woman would bring a baby. He was sure she wasn’t pregnant when she left.

“Ssh…..Ssh……Ssh….There baby….please don’t cry any more. Mommy is here right with you. Don’t be afraid.” Camila talked to the baby gently.

Camila rocked the baby on her chest and found herself a seat. The baby was hungry, Camila realized that so she decided to breastfeed the baby. A tear dropped on her face, she was sad because may be this was the last time she will be able to hold and feed her baby.

After the baby was done feeding she resumed the conversation. The man had been silent in the dark, as always she could never read his mind.

“I have your baby and I want to give the baby to you as per our original plan” Camila then waited patiently for his reply.

“How sure am I that the child is mine” he challenged Camila.

“If you think I am lying you can simply do a DNA test. I wouldn’t have come to you if I weren’t sure. You are the only man I have slept with in my life. Besides when I left 9 months ago I didn’t know that I was pregnant and when I found out the doctor explained to me that the red spot was normal during implantation.”

Without showing any reaction the man muttered “We have a deal. I know you are a sensible woman and won’t try to lie to me. But in any case if you try to do it, I will hunt you down and kill you with my bare hands. “Camila shivered at his dark tone.

Deep inside the man was happy. He couldn’t wait to take the baby to the hospital and perform a paternity test on him.

“I will take the child so that he can go through the process” the man said but Camila held on to the baby and didn’t want to let go. He belonged only to her. She knew that she sold him even before he was born. It broke her heart all over again to have to do this.

“Please…just a few more minutes with him” Camila couldn’t help but beg him desperately.

“Don’t waste my time. I am a very busy man “he said and grabbed the baby forcefully out of her hands. Camila felt lonely without her baby. She didn’t know that it would be this tough.

“Bring him back so that I can say my goodbyes” she muttered as the man was about to open the door. She wished she could have a peek at his face. She wanted to see this man who saved her father but still made her life a living hell. Now she was handing him her own flesh and blood.

“That does not concern me, woman” he muttered and closed the door behind him. Camila cursed under her breath” he is so heartless. If it weren’t that I need money so much I wouldn’t have given my most precious possession, never.”

After a few hours the man came back with the baby. He handed him over to Camila. She took him gladly and hugged the baby so tightly. She smelled the baby’s scent and whispered in his ears. Camila wanted to make sure that the baby felt loved even though she won’t be the one to raise him.

“Congratulations, I have done my confirmation. And indeed his blood runs through my veins. You are going to receive the other 10.2 million” he announced as if this was just a normal deal to him.

Camila couldn’t believe her ears, that was a huge amount of money and she would be able to start all over again. She tried to say something but her lips suddenly became heavy. Tears of relief flowed through her eyes.

“Is that all for me?” She finally managed to ask.

“The money comprises of the other half we agreed on, the bonus for being a virgin and lastly another 50 % is included in the amount. “

Camila stared at him in a daze.

“Before you get excited, you can only get the 50% if you agree to sleep with me one last time” he added with an arrogant demeanor.

A dead silent fell in to the room, her mind was all over. But the fact remains that she needed the money urgently and since she had slept with him before it wouldn’t hurt to do it one last time, of course for the money.

“I agree” Camila readily replied.

Later when she was about to leave she handed over the baby to him.

“Please take good care of him. I know that I wasn’t a very good mother but I beg you to try to compensate for all those things that I couldn’t give him.” Camila sobs was so heartbreaking for the man but he didn’t want to show any softness for the woman. His only interest was the baby and nothing else.

“Don’t worry he will be well taken care of” he muttered in the dark room.

Camila held her baby then she gave him a hug for one last time. Hurriedly, she left the room without looking back. If she would have tried to hesitate she wouldn’t have the strength to leave him. It was hard enough for her to come all the way here to give him to his father.

When she left the house, the man took the baby to his maid and ordered ” take care of this child with your life. I will hold you responsible if anything happens to him. Do we understand each other well?”

“Yes sir” Cindy, the maid said. She didn’t have her own kids and now she was going to raise the child with all the love in the world. She could remember that day when her baby was taken out of her and the doctor said that she had died. It was the saddest day of her life, she went crazy and left the hospital without looking back.

In the beginning she never liked the baby’s mother but it was only because she thought that she couldn’t get pregnant but now her perception has changed. In her absence she will look out for her baby because she knew she was a young woman who was lost.

“Come with me baby….there… there you will be fine. I will spoil you and love you, okay” the baby heard her soft melodious voice and calmed down.
