Request

Chapter Two.

Arielle's POV.

I woke up with pain around my thighs, and my whole body. "You are awake." I heard the nurse's voice, who was right by my side.

I could feel my tummy way flatter than before. "What about my child? How is he? Huh?" I asked the nurse, who was right beside me.

"He is placed right in the incubator; it would take two weeks for him to get better." The nurse told me while I sighed. I was so happy that my child was okay in the end, and that was what I wished for.

I am now a single mother, and I would never regret making this choice, but I have kept the pregnancy ever since I left my ex.

Furthermore, I was expecting to see my family in the room, but there was no one.

"Are visitors not allowed to enter? Why is my family not here?" I questioned her while she took in a huge sigh again. "To be honest, I don't have a specific answer for that. Your parents left you alone; it happened that they didn't want to see you anymore. Your stepmom left a note for you right here." The nurse handed over a piece of paper to me.

I collected the paper from her, while I looked at her face as I collected the paper, wondering what was written on it. 

I wondered what was written in the paper: "By the time you read this message, you will not be able to find us in your entire life again. It happened that you are. You are just the daughter of a bastard, and you are not the real daughter of your father. I guess your mom was really used to the slut life, just like the way you were, and you slept with a stranger." I read what was written in the letter.

"No, no, no! It isn't possible. There is no way that something like that would happen." I tried standing up from the bed, but the nurse who was there tried her best so that I would not be able to move.

I have to go and see them before they change their location. Furthermore, I might not get to see him for the rest of my life.

She didn't have to bring my dead mom into this. I held my chest while I struggled not to cry. They decided to abandon me just like that, even after all the bond that we had shared together.

He didn't even feel an ounce of pity for me.

Few Weeks Later.

I was on the cold street with my son in my hand; it was a really painful thing for me. I didn't want anything to happen to him. We happened to be chased out of the hotel that night, and there was no where I was going to sleep.

I met with my uncle, and he also acted like he doesn't even give a fuck about me. He acted like he didn't like me at all. I wished I could have called my ex-boyfriend, but there was no reason for me to do that.

I heard the screeching of the car right beside me, and it happened that the car was parked right at my side. Furthermore, I slowly looked at who was inside the car, and it was an old woman, and an old man. They should be around their sixties.

"Do you need help?" The lady who was driving the car questioned me. "Yes! I really need help." I told her without even thinking twice, while she sighed. 

I didn't even know if I was making the right choice. I didn't know if they were some sort of serial killers.

At this point, I didn't care.

"You can stay with us for this night." She informed me while I nodded. 

"Thank you very much, ma'am." I bowed my head, and then entered the same car that she was in. I didn't know why I trusted her that easily, but she looked so calm, and she doesn't look like someone who was going to harm me also.

After a while, the car stopped moving, and we were at the front of a very huge mansion. It was a mansion that I hadn't seen before. It was so huge—way bigger than my dad's own.

I came down from the car after I was told to do so. It turned out that they lived in the mansion. They looked like some of the most influential people in society.

"This is our house right here. You can just continue to stay with her until you find a right to stay." She told me, while my baby was still clutched slightly to my chest. "Thank you very much for your help, ma'am." I bowed my head to show how really grateful I was.

She scoffed. "I am just helping you, and you don't have to be too formal." She told me, then walked away while I followed her. There was something that was fishy, and based on the fact that she rescued me, I bet that there was something that she wanted.

You can't just see me along the way, and decided to help me without wanting something in return. I entered the house, and it was what I had expected it to be.

It was not nice, and it looked so modern. "The first room is on the second floor." She told me while I nodded, and I went there. Even though they were going to need something from me in return, at least they still helped me.

I would be able to work for them if that is what it takes. I dropped my baby on the bed, then made sure to make the room a little bit warm by increasing the room temperature.

"I haven't even given you a name yet. You are so cute, and I am sorry if you are going through all this stress because of me. I promise you that mommy is going to do everything in her power to help you. I would sacrifice everything for you, my dear son." I told him while the tears flowed down my eyes.

Furthermore, I heard a soft knock on the door, and that alerted me. My baby was already sleeping, so I walked to the door, opened it, and saw the lady who saved me.

She was standing right at the entrance to her door. Maybe she was here to make the request already. "I would just go straight to the point." She couldn't get to complete her statement before I got to interrupt her.

"I know that you need something, and I bet that it must be so important. You are free to make your request." I told her.

"You are really one wise girl. Our business is going to crash without the help of someone. We need our son to take over all the groups that my grandfather owned. For him to do that, we would need a lady who would be able to act as his wife until the whole organization is given to him." She told me while I blinked my eyes several times.

Marry their son? I didn't even know who the fuck their son was.

It doesn't look like it is going to be an easy one. "Take a look at a child on the bed! He really needs a lot of help, especially given the fact that you are going to be his mother as well. If you do this for us, we would be able to give you any kind of money that you want. You just have to state your price; this is really important to us, and you have the capability to do it." She further added.

I rubbed my head. I would have the chance to ask them anything that I would be able to. Furthermore, I bit my lips while still trying to think about it. I wanted my son to enjoy the best life.

I wanted to give him the best life ever. Furthermore, I wanted him to be proud of me as his mother.

"When would I meet up with this, your son? Can you give me a range that this might get to last also?" I requested it from her.

"You would be able to meet with him tomorrow. This will last for just three months." She informed me.
