"What? Are you crazy?"
When my friend heard that I just wanted to have a baby without marriage, she jumped from her bar seat.
I quickly pulled her back to the seat, preventing to be the focus of the crowd.
"Amy? Are you really going to do this? Are you sure your mother will support your decision?" Elle looked at me with her widened eyes.
"Yes, I have decided it. As for my mom..." I took a drink and said calmly, " I'm not going to tell her in advance. You know she is a very traditional wife." I shrugged.
"No matter how rotten that man she called husband is, she still could bear his cheating and violence, taking him as her reliance. She was always taught that women can not live on their own without a man. She kept stucking in this stupid marriage until that day I was close to death under his beating."
"Marriage only means poison to me. Why should I repeat her life? I have no interest in a marriage with man, but I still want a child." I smiled wryly and drunk up the wine in my hand.
Elle hugged my shoulders, trying to give me some strength. I felt tears gathering in my eyes but I won't cry.
I'm not here tonight to complain. I came to hunt! To get a perfect sperm for my child.
You could also call it stealing. Because I was not going to let the man know my plan, just in case there will be any troubles later.
"Well, Amy, as long as you made the decision, I will always support you!" Elle hugged me tighter, " And l'll be your child's godmother. Just call me whenever you need me."
I could hear her choking, so I patted her back lightly, telling her no need to worry about me.
“Of course you'll be the godmother. Cheers for our grand plan tonight."
CLINK
Downing another glass of drink, I wiped out the tears around her eyes and turned to the men on the dance floor.
“See, so many men here. Come on, pick a father for your godchild.”
"So, what's your preference?" Elle asked after taking a sip of her wine. .
"Hmm..." I supported my head with my left hand while thinking.
"First, he must be handsome." I winked at Elle, she knew what's my type. "Second, he can't be a a junkie who always play in the bar. I want a healthy baby." I
thought more seriously, "Maybe he could be an elite who came to the bar by chance, wearing a suit and tie, and a little mature…”
Elle laughed hearing what I said. "I guess you're in the wrong place, sis. The person you are looking for should be in an office building, not a bar."
Disagreeing with her words, I snorted. "Maybe the goddess of Luck will favor me."
I frowned as I saw a young boy checking me out while pushing his tongue into his partner.
Disgusting…
"Well one more thing, young boys are out of the list." I added.
“Hmm, let’s see…” Elle murmured to herself. I didn’t pay any heed to her and a few moments later, she poked my arm.
“Amy, I think I found one for you!” She patted my shoulder and my head snapped to the direction so fast.
BOOM!
I never expected I would be that excited to see Elle’s choice. How stupid of me!
Maybe the alcohol is messing with my system.
A man in slacks and a button-down shirt sat on one of the tables which were mostly occupied privately, his look made him completely outnumbered.
And what’s more interesting was, he wasn’t looking at any person at all.
He just indulged in drinking his whiskey.
He didn’t even respond to the waitress who just deliberately brushed her leg to his.
Unbelievable…
I couldn’t make out his features in the dim light of the pub but he looks like a well-built man with a good face cut.
Overall, he is a 10. A rare one that I have been looking for desperately.
“What do you think?” Elle whispered in my ears as my eyes wandered over the man’s silhouette。
He is truly something.
“He is 10.” I told her, my voice sounding amused.
“Good! Then go and ask him for the night out…” Elle pushed me from the bar stool and abruptly I stood on my heels managing a close fall.
“Elle…” I gave her a glare while she handed me a shot.
“This will help.”
I took it and then wiped my mouth with a new determination.
With a nod full of gratitude, I turned and walked to the table where the man was residing quietly.
His face moved, and he met my eyes under the dim light, and in an instant my steps haltered.
Am I making the right decision by approaching him?
DEREK POV :Eric’s deception was easy to get caught, the moment he asked me to make a choice I knew he wouldn’t let us go.I could see the blood in his eyes, he wouldn't be at ease until he painted us all in red.With his men escorting the staff, I took the golden chance to attack him.My unexpected move made him bewildered, the first thing I did was to kick away his gun.“Close the door, Amy,” I commanded, in case his men returned to help him.Amy did as I told her.“You shouldn’t have done that, Derek…” Eric scowled as he attacked back at me, his punches flew in the air and when they hit my body, it was bloody painful.“Surrender, Eric, nothing will change between us, I promise.You will remain my brother, Eric Shepherd.”During our struggle, I tried to calm him down.“I am no Shepherd,I hate this name, I am Carson Dexter.”He acted crazily, throwing me away from him and then picking up the gun.CLICK“He made me like this,It was his fault.” He pointed the gun straight at the Gran
Before he would pull the trigger his father shouted in defeat.“I’ll bring everything, everything that you need, Eric.”Eric was smiling at his victory when all of a sudden Derek’s father hinted at the man and he stepped out of the crowd with a gun.“Now.” His father yelled and the shot was fired.BAM“Ahh…” The screeches of fear filled the atmosphere. As I looked up, I realized that the man who had stepped out had been shot by one of Eric’s men, while another person got shot in the wheelchair.“Viola…” Derek’s father leaped towards his wife when he was held by Eric’s men.“I told you father, ladies first.” Clenching his jaw, Eric seethed without a single remorse of killing his shooting his own mother.“If I could shoot my own mother you all have no idea what I could do to you all?” He threatened the whole staff and they cornered, with dread in their eyes while I remained on the ground, overwhelmed by all the disaster happening around me.Derek, where are you?****CLICK“Little broth
DEREK POV :“I killed his lover.”BOOMThat gunshot broke the barrier of my patience and I spoke out impassively.“Eric…”There was silence at the other end and then a mocking laugh came.“Hah, my sweet little brother,You still act impulsively, Deriee…”Eric spoke in wit.“Let everyone go, Eric, since when did you become a murderer?” I questioned, overwhelmed by the information of the massacre he created at the Shepherd Villa.“Murderer??What about Grandpa and Dad, who murdered my childhood together, my happiness, Derek?”His question made me avert my eyes at my father.I know their expectations were too high for Eric, and they tried their best to change Eric into a perfect candidate for Shepherd Corporation heir, but sadly he failed.Or they failed I guess.“What do you want, Eric, I’ll give you everything…” I made an offer.“Everything, Derek?” He asked to confirm.“Yes, everything…” I agreed instantly.“Good, send father with the approval letter of converting all the shares under
AMY POV :“Wake up, sweetie, we’re home…”I was in a dark place when a voice and a pat muddled with my mind.“Hmm…” With a groan, I opened my sleepy eyes and instantly sat up in fright.“You…” With my back hit hard, I realized I was trapped in a car with Carson.How? Wasn’t I sleeping in Derek’s bed?Where is he?My panic started to rise when he smiled.“I left a note for your fiance, Don’t worry, he’ll come soon.”With shallow breaths I watched him, he sat calmly and groomed.I looked around to get an idea of my location but I found nothing.SCREECHAt last, the car stopped and Carson stepped out of it, and then pulled me out with him.“Ah.” The daylight hit my face making me squeal for a moment, When I opened my eyes fully I saw the villa in front of me.“Shepherd Villa?” I gasped.“Clear the way.” Unbothered by my struggles, Carson held my arm tightly and then pulled me roughly inside.As soon as the guards saw him entering with force, they charged at him, but very soon they were a
ONE YEAR LATER“Loss??” I looked at the Manager in shock. Were my decisions proved to be wrong?“Those people faked their qualifications, they were never qualified for this job Sir.”THUDI sat in my chair, lots of words, and thoughts.“What about the loan we took?” I inquired.“We have a deadline in a week,” He informed me.A week…So, we have a week to go bankrupt.“Hah…”I laughed at my misery, Since childhood, I was getting prepared to handle all the business issues, yet I failed in just a year.I did such a terrible job,It’s a shame for me.****“What’s the progress, son?” Grandpa asked at the dining table and I gave him the fake conclusion.“We’re having some issues, but we’ll be fine Grandpa.”“Great, my Eric could never make any mistake.” He spoke proudly while I sat silent, drowned in my own failure.****“Be strong, brother, I am going to visit you in a few days.” Derek tried to encourage me but I was too occupied in my disaster.After disconnecting his call, I called Elsa.
ERIC SHEPHERD :Seven Years Old“Leave me alone, Deriee,” I growled unhappily.While I was here studying madly, and doing multiple activities, my twin brother, Derek got the chance to walk around free and eat ice cream.His continuous offer to me made me want to take a bite of ice cream too.“Eriee,” He teased me.“Fine, one bite I’ll take and just one race.” Closing my book softly, I told him.“On your mark, get, set, go.”Derek started to run away and I chased after him. Whenever we raced there was no winner or loser, we always got into a tie.Even today it would happen the same way if Grandpa hadn't returned home early.“Eric.” At his one call, I stood straight, panic rising in my heart.“I win… I win…” Derek jumped happily while my heart dropped with each step Grandpa was taking toward me.“Is this the way an heir should be, hmm?Look at yourself Eric,” He scolded me and I lowered my head further in shame.“I’m sorry, Grandpa,” I apologized quickly.“Get back to studying.” He orde
