Will you Marry Me?

Andrea stared at Lewis in shock as he stormed out of the room with Allison. She cried out loud forgetting Sal was in the room.

He cleared his throat and she looked up at him.

“I’m… I’m sorry I ran into your car and made you be here to pay the bills. I… I will pay you back for… “

“The doctor said you have minor injuries and you just need rest. He also said you will be discharged in a few minutes.” He cut her off and Andrea nodded.

“Oh, okay. Thank you.” Andrea replied with her heart racing. She has nowhere to go! What the hell will she do?

Minutes later, Andrea was discharged and she headed out with Sal.

She watched him walk to his car and his chauffeur shut the door.

The chauffeur turned on the ignition and she rushed to the car knowing she had no choice.

“Sal,” she called and he looked at the chauffeur then at Andrea. She moved closer to him.

He waited for her to speak. He made up his mind that he was going to help her anyway but he wanted her to speak and ask what she wanted.

“I… I don't have anywhere to go and it’s late. Can you help me, please?” she asked with tears welling up in her eyes.

He stared as her blue eyes glistened due to the tears.

He unlocked the door and moved to the other side. Andrea hurriedly got in.

“Thank you so much,” she said, bowing a little as a gesture and all Sal did was nod.

As the chauffeur drove, Andrea noticed they were heading to the Blackmore’s mansion but she said nothing.

She was right. They arrived there and Sal got out of the car without saying a word to her and walked in.

Andrea noticed Lewis’ car parked and out of curiosity, she got out of the car and entered the Blackmores’ mansion.

“Is there a reason he is here?” Andrea heard Lewis ask as she walked into the living room. She met all of them in the living room, all the Blackmores including Allison.

“I wasn't informed that he would be coming but it's a good thing he is here. It's about time we all unite as a family again.” Mr. Blackmore said and Lewis scoffed.

Sal on the other hand just stared.

“Are you going to allow this? You are letting him back here after what he did? After everything?” Lewis asked, raising his voice but got no response.

His parents were quiet.

“Mum, aren't you going to say anything? He can't be back here, okay? He is crazy and we all know that. You promised me Dad, this isn't fair.” he added feeling so much rage within.

“Talking about being fair you just dumped your pregnant wife and made her homeless,” Sal said and Lewis turned to him angrily while their parents finally noticed Andrea’s presence.

He moved closer to him and grabbed his shirt. Andrea’s eyes widened in shock.

“I wasn't talking to you so you better shut your fucking mouth,” he warned and Sal held his gaze. He was calm the whole time.

Andrea was surprised, she had never seen Lewis this mad and aggressive.

“Let go of me,” Sal warned with his voice cold.

Lewis grip on his shirt tightened as he gave him a death stare.

“You’ve got three seconds to let go of me,” Sal added.

“Lewis,” Allison called but he ignored her.

Andrea watched Lewis, he looked so clouded with rage. She wondered why he was so mad at his brother.

“Let go of him, Lewis.” Mr. Blackmore ordered and Lewis hesitated before letting go of him.

“Why are you here?” Mrs. Blackmore asked Andrea rudely and Sal spoke up.

“She is with me,” he said.

Lewis ran his hands through his hair.

“This isn't bad. We should be celebrating that he is home, he… “

“Go ahead, celebrate him. Celebrate a fucking psychopath! Celebrate your precious son.” Lewis said angrily and turned to Sal.

“You'd better stay out of my way or you will regret it,” he warned and pulled Allison out of the house.

Andrea watched in shock.

What the hell just happened?

Without saying anything, Sal walked out of the house too. Andrea looked at Mrs. Blackmore and she gave her a death stare so she rushed out of the house.

She got into the car with Sal and he exhaled heavily. She had a million questions but she couldn't ask any. The chauffeur drove out and she kept staring at Sal who looked like he was lost in thought.

Out of the blue, he turned to her.

“Hey Andrea, can you marry me?” he asked and her eyes widened in shock.

“Wh… what?” she stuttered, chuckling nervously.

“I will go straight to the point. If you marry me, I will help you get back with Lewis after all you are carrying his child. You will get your equal shares, and your parents will love you again. Your reputation will be restored too. If you say no, I will give you money but won't you run out one day? What will you do then?” he asked and Andrea stared at him completely speechless.

“Sal, what are you… “

“Come on, Andrea.” He cut her off and she shook her head.

“I was married to your brother and I am carrying his child. What will everyone say? It is not right.” She raised her voice a little.

“Is what he did to you right? This will benefit you. You need me.” he added and Andrea thought about it.

This is weird. What the hell is this? Why does Sal want to marry her out of the blue?

“What’s in it for you?” she asked.

“Nothing.” he lied. Sal knew Andrea was vulnerable at the moment so marrying her would be perfect. She is the perfect tool for his plan.

Andrea shook her head as tears welled up in her eyes.

“I will regret this, right?” she asked in tears and Sal stared at her for a few seconds without saying anything.

Andrea shook her head, thinking of backing out when he spoke up.

“No. No, you won't regret this,” he replied and Andrea exhaled heavily before nodding.

She knew this was bad but she would do anything to be with Lewis and her child needed a father too.

Besides, she has already been kicked out, humiliated by the city, and called names. What’s the worst that can happen?
