Hera sighed for the umpteenth time. That night, she had indeed decided to stay overnight at the hospital, and she also wanted to meet the doctor who was handling her mother.
"Hera."The woman turned towards the source of the voice, smiling, and then rose to her feet. "Yes, Sus? Can I meet the doctor who is treating my mother now?""I'm sorry, Hera. But apparently, the doctor is performing emergency surgery tonight, so you can come tomorrow morning and meet him. Regarding your mother, I'll keep watching over her, as usual. You can go back home and rest," the nurse said.Hera smiled bravely. "Thank you, Sus. Please let me know if there's anything, and I'll stay here.""It's your choice. But you can go back home if you want, then I'll excuse myself," the nurse said and then went into Hera's mother's ward.Hera let the woman go to take care of her mother. This time, she sat back in her original position and bowed her head.Her mind returned to a piece of information she received yesterday. Yes, a notification about her mother's administration fees amounting to 100 million. That was a huge amount, especially considering her current situation. Just being able to afford basic meals made her extremely grateful. But nevertheless, Hera wouldn't give up."But I can't possibly borrow money from David again, or even Jessy," Hera muttered to herself.However, for some reason, she remembered one thing instantly. Quickly, she took out a business card she received from the man named Sean."Sean Dylan Villegas," Hera murmured as she began to read it from the beginning.Alright, she just found out that the man was apparently a well-known CEO in New York."Is his company in the fashion industry? I think I know enough. The Villegas brand is so famous," Hera muttered for a moment.Quickly, she copied Sean's phone number using her phone.Hera took a long breath before she started pressing the call button. "Maybe I can borrow money from him, it doesn't matter if I have to work with him for the next few years, right? After all, he offered it to me earlier."Several seconds after the call was connected, Hera was still waiting for a response from the other side.She was about to hang up the call, but then she heard a voice from the other end."Hello, have you thought about everything?"Hera paused for a moment. "Wait, how do you know it's me?""It's easy and not too important to discuss. So, let's get straight to the point. I'm eager to hear it.""You offered to help me with 100 million, right? So, can I take that offer? In return, I'll work with you for the next few years."Laughter could be heard from the other end. Of course, it made Hera fall silent for a moment."Hey, that's even a form of compensation you have to do, and I'll also give you a reward. You mentioned the 100 million earlier, so I think the appropriate reward is 100 million exactly as you wished. When else do you have someone offering compensation but also giving a reward at the same time? Maybe only me.""So, what kind of compensation do I have to do?""Did you really forget what I said a moment ago?"Hera fell silent. Oh no, damn. Suddenly she remembered. But Hera chose to lie. She hoped for some miracle regarding that."No, I forgot. I'm sorry.""I need your body to satisfy my desires. So, you must always be ready if I call you, whenever it is. And, as I said earlier, you will also get the reward, in the form of 100 million, as you wish."Hera closed her eyes. It was such a difficult choice."Can't the form of my compensation be changed?""Cannot be disputed."Hera held her jacket tightly. She felt quite sad this time.But, on the other hand, she needed the money as soon as possible.For her mother's sake."Alright, I agree. So, when do I have to do this compensation?""Great to hear that, right now. Send me your address, I'll pick you up. Get ready."After that, the call was disconnected. Hera leaned back in her chair and then closed her eyes."Forgive me, Mom. I have to sell myself to a stranger," Hera muttered to herself.***Hera was in the middle of the journey. There was no conversation whatsoever since the beginning. Even Hera seemed to be nervous this time. Somehow, she felt like canceling the entire "compensation" she had to do. It would be better if she saved up and bought the man a new shirt instead.Suddenly, the car stopped at a grand hotel. Even two special personnel had helped them open the car door.Sean got out of the car first. Hera, who looked confused, followed Sean for now."Welcome, Mr. Villegas. Follow me this way."That's all Hera could hear as she followed behind Sean and a man who seemed to be a hotel assistant.Hera was amazed by the interior presented in the grand hotel. This was even her first time stepping foot in the five-star luxury hotel."Wow, it's so beautiful," Hera muttered softly, especially when she entered the elevator with a view inside the hotel. Ah, absolutely amazing.Hera and Sean had arrived at a floor that seemed very deserted. But as much as possible, Hera tried to calm herself that night."Can I assist you further, sir?"Sean shook his head, "You may go."The man nodded obediently and then left using the elevator they had used before.Alright, this time only the two of them were there. For some reason, Hera felt extremely nervous when Sean asked her to enter a room there.Hera widened her eyes. Oh no, even they got a view of the outside of the hotel. They could also see some skyscrapers surrounding the hotel. It could be said that their room was very open."Do you like it?" Sean asked instantly, still behind Hera.The woman was even amazed by the view she was seeing. Ah, it really managed to make her forget her fear."Yes, it's so beautiful," Hera replied instantly.But suddenly, Hera widened her eyes when she felt Sean's hands start to embrace her from behind."Hey, what are you-""Just scream once, and you won't get that money, understand?" Sean interrupted instantly.Hera held her breath. If she didn't get that money, it wouldn't matter. But this time, she really couldn't escape if she wanted to.For some reason, Hera closed her eyes. Oh damn, the touch of Sean's lips on her neck managed to make her quite drowsy.Even this time, they were both already on the bed and Sean was taking off the clothes worn by Hera and himself.After successfully doing so, of course, Sean couldn't wait any longer. Without any foreplay, he immediately inserted himself into Hera.But when doing so, suddenly Sean had difficulty, and Hera even moaned in pain several times.Sean then looked at Hera and felt annoyed because it was quite difficult to insert himself into Hera that night."Are you still a virgin?" Sean asked instantly."Y-yes," Hera answered, who was trying to endure the pain and discomfort down there."WHAT?!" Sean exclaimed instantly, surprised.***Hera was looking around. As promised, they were waiting for Moly, Sean’s mother, who had said she would arrive shortly.“If she doesn’t show up in the next five minutes, we can leave and choose another restaurant for dinner,” Sean said impatiently.“Alright, but it hasn’t been five minutes yet, and we’ll still have dinner, won’t we?”That remark made both of them turn towards the voice. There stood Moly, accompanied by... Viola.Hera froze when she saw the beautiful woman, who had unexpectedly come with Moly that evening. Hera hadn't been informed of Viola’s presence.“Why are you here?” Sean asked, clearly displeased by Viola’s presence.“You should greet me kindly first. We could talk slowly about... our wedding,” Viola responded, glancing at Hera, who stood silently, looking both confused and upset.“Mom, I didn’t even ask you to invite her tonight,” Sean said to Moly.“Shh, enough. Let’s just get ready for dinner. I’m hungry, and you, sit down,” Moly said calmly.After the command
“No, stay there. I’ll get it for you.”Hera had been hearing these words from Sean all day. She still couldn’t quite believe how attentive Sean had become since learning about her pregnancy. To Hera, though, it seemed a bit excessive.“Sean, it’s just a few steps to get my phone. You’re overdoing it,” Hera said.Soon enough, Sean handed her the phone. “I told you, you didn’t have to do that.”Hera smiled and accepted the phone. “Thank you, but really, you’re going a bit overboard.”“It’s my duty,” Sean replied, sitting down beside her.The two began chatting, talking about different things.“How do you feel now that you know you’re pregnant?” Sean asked.“Just dizziness and nausea. That’s all I’ve been feeling so far,” Hera replied. But oddly enough, ever since she told Sean about her pregnancy and received his special attention, especially the gentle touches on her stomach, the dizziness and nausea she had been feeling for the past few days had disappeared. It felt like magic.“I’ve
Sean opened his eyes. He took a deep breath after realizing that he had been asleep.“Oh my, but it felt like I heard Hera saying that I already had it? Did she mean… a child?” Sean muttered to himself.However, when he looked beside him, he saw Hera fast asleep. Sean smiled softly as he came to his senses again. "Sean, it must have been just a dream. Look at you and Hera, you’ve both been sleeping soundly."Checking his phone, Sean saw that it was 3 a.m. As usual, he had woken up at this time. He decided to watch TV again.On the screen was a movie showing a couple kissing passionately. Sean, watching it, tried to hold himself back.“I’d better find another channel while I wait for my sleepiness to return,” Sean mumbled as he started flipping through the channels.Suddenly, his stomach signaled hunger. He sighed deeply and got up from his position.“It’s always like this,” Sean muttered, intending to cook something simple since he wasn’t much of a cook.The kitchen was well-stocked f
After her long conversation with Jessy ended, Hera decided to leave the bathroom. She still hadn’t seen Sean inside."Is he really angry about what happened?" Hera muttered to herself.For some reason, she felt uneasy about Sean. Maybe it was time to find him and apologize.Hera put on an outer garment that was available in the room before leaving. But before she could open the door, it suddenly opened on its own, and there was Sean, about to walk in.He looked at her, but then Hera smiled, "I was just about to look for you.""Go to sleep. It’s late, or are you hungry?" Sean asked.He walked in, followed by Hera. "No. I… I just wanted to apologize for what happened earlier. I think you're right; this is our honeymoon, and I didn’t need to bring up the contract.""It’s fine. I was just overreacting. I’m sorry," Sean replied more calmly this time. Somehow, he seemed very relaxed and at peace.Hera nodded. The situation felt awkward now. "Where did you go earlier?""Nowhere, just took in
Here was Hera, once again lying in her original position. She was even eating her dinner in the bedroom. However, that didn't make Sean angry or upset. Look, the man had been accompanying Hera all this time."Don’t you want to go out tonight?" Hera asked, turning toward Sean, who was watching TV. The man glanced at her for a moment before returning his gaze to the television."Go where?" Sean asked."For a walk, of course. You’ve come all this way, yet you’re just staying in the room," Hera replied."I'm already bored with everything around here, so what's the point of going for a walk?" Sean muttered instantly."Don’t you like the beach? Then, why did you bring me here if you’re already bored of this place?" Hera asked, puzzled.Sean placed the remote control beside him before looking at Hera. "You like the beach. I found out from your mother. I do like the beach, and I figured it would be nice to take you to the Maldives for our first honeymoon destination."Hera was silent for a mo
"Do you want to enjoy the beauty of this beach?" Sean asked suddenly after seeing Hera, who had just finished her activity in the bathroom.Actually, Hera felt dizzy at that moment, but it didn’t bother her too much. "Of course. It would be such a waste if we just stayed in the room after traveling so far to get here.""It’s not a waste. You can come here whenever you want," Sean replied, standing up. He stared at Hera, making her feel trapped under his gaze, unable to move on to her next activity."You could’ve waited for me outside. I just need to freshen up a bit," she started to say."You don’t need to put anything on. It’s just the two of us here. All my assistants are in one place, probably resting, so we won’t be disturbed," Sean interrupted.Hera was shocked. "What? Not put anything on? What do you mean?""Uh, you must be thinking something negative. Hey, I meant you don’t need to wear any makeup or anything like that," Sean clarified.Hera paused for a moment. "Actually, I di
