The Condition
"And yes, did I tell you that I want to f*ck you to the very end"
He whispered after pulling away from my mouth.
"You are insane"
I muttered angrily and struggled to get away from him.
"Oh? Are you trying to tell me I am out of my mind? off course I am crazy for you, babe"
He chuckled lightly looking down at my lips which felt like they were pressed tightly onto his own. I couldn't help it. He leaned his forehead against mine and sighed, his hand came out from underneath my dress to caress my hip gently.
"Look, I'm gonna be straight forward alright"
He pulled himself out from under me and sat next to me, crossing his leg over the other.
I crossed my arms across my chest, raising an eyebrow. I wasn't in a mood to humor him with games. I really didn't need this right now. All I needed was to leave this damn room and not come back.
"I want you and that's final. You can protest at your own peril."
"What do yo mean by I can protest at my own peril?" I huffed, raising my voice at him.
"I don't give a fuck about any nonsense Jenny. I'm telling you that I want you. No matter how many times you try to fight it, you will never win. Do you hear me? If you refuse to date me, maybe when you two kiddies go missing or your mom, nowhere to be found, you will realize that you have no choice but to accept me. The ball is in your court. What do you say?"
He spoke slowly, his eyes boring into my own. My stomach turned nervously.
I stared at him. There was absolutely no hint of jokes in his words.
I know what he can do and I would not want him to show me. I am powerless against him. I will just have to accept his proposal for the sake of those that matter.
He has given me no choice. It's obvious my life is meaningless. I am just living for mom and my kids.
I sighed and stood up from the bed. I walked towards the window with a blank expression and a saddened heart. My heart was heavy on the realization of what I am about to do. If I say yes, I will suffer the consequences and if I say no, I will still suffer the consequences.
Harrison got up from the bed, standing behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist. He leaned his head on my shoulder and hummed softly.
"Are you going to answer me?"
He whispered and placed his chin on the side of my neck. He was behaving totally different from his words. it looked like he is just asking me out not forcing me
"Yeah"
"Good. Now, say the words."
He was eager to hear me as if he doesn't know the answer already.
"On one condition, Harrison"
"And what could that be?"
His tune was bored but I gave no f*ck about it. He can be bored to earth for all I care.
"That I tell my kids about Zain and they will be allowed to meet him."
He laughed shortly and pushed himself off me, walking back to the bed.
"Why would I allow you to do that?"
I sighed heavily and walked up to him.
"Because they deserve to know who their dad is. If you really want me to do this with you without questioning, let me tell them all they have to know. It's okay if I am with you but it won't be okay if I continue to hide the truth from them"
"Fine but that will be on one condition"
I nodded my head and faced him, waiting for whatever he has to say.
"That you will marry me instead. If you want them to know who their father is, marry me"
I stood speechless for several seconds, my jaw hanging open. I didn't know how to react at the moment.
This man is too much! Can't he just leave me alone.
"What the hell do you mean marry you?! You think you can take advantage of me and trick me into marrying you?! What kind of sick person are you, Harrison?"
He looked at me with anger in his eyes. His fists clenched.
"Then continue to bury the truth. If you can't do it on my own terms, forget about telling them the truth. I can be a better father to them. After all, I have been their godfather from day one"
I clenched my fist tightly at his words and took a step backwards.
"Why are you doing this, Harrison? Did I offend you in any way?"
My eyes Welled up with tears
He chuckled lowly.
