Chapter 9

Annabelle’s p.o.v

I was stomping to my room.

Richard was right behind me.

He was very polite in front of my parents and now that the two of us were alone, I want to smack his smug face really bad.

My room was very… normal.

Almost boring, though.

“You play piano?”

“Don’t act like you caught a bullet for me! Why would you come here without telling me and arranging dinner with my parents?!”” I blurted out and hissed at him the moment he closed the door.

He didn’t even flinch.

“You are unbelievable!”

I am tired from the activity I did today.

All I wanted was to lay down and rest my legs.

It will be harder if my tummy gets bigger later.

I would not let him enter my room if not for this condition I am in right now.

“Do you want me to massage your legs?”

“If you keep your hands to yourself, we won’t
have this situation in the first place.”

“I tried, but you are irresistible.”

“I can’t believe you didn’t wear protection!!” I scolded him.

I blame him for all this.

“Is that how you sleep around with girls without protection?”

“Nope”

“Tell me, how many baby mamas do you have? How many girls have you gotten pregnant? How many….”

“Enough Annabelle. I don’t have any baby mama, and you are the first girl who has ever gotten pregnant for me!”

“I swear, l will k!ll you with my bare hands!!” I muttered as I tried to throw hands at him.

“Calm down, you are pregnant…” He supported me carefully.

“Get your filthy hands off me!” I said as I slapped his hands away.

Just looking at him here, irritates me.

“Listen to me first, ” He said calmly.

“Listen to you? You listen to me. I’m not going to marry you. I. AM. NOT. GOING. TO. EVER. MARRY. YOU!”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself. Clearly, I could
settle for more.” He said that to probably annoy me.

“You are not from a very wealthy family, unlike some girls that I know. In fact, if I say I am looking for a wife, there will be a line to take that seat.”

It was true.

He was surrounded by many beautiful women who matter in the society.

I have seen him with some of them.

And I know I’m not his type of woman.

“Then why didn’t you get them pregnant instead!”

“That’s not the problem now, is it? Anyway, what do you want us to do? I will listen to you as long as you don’t abort the baby…” His change of attitude impressed me a bit.

Could he be the same person as the man who always bullies his sister?

“I would rather not marry you.”

I would rather not get married so early because of pregnancy.

I want to get married to the man I love.

“Alright, you don’t need to marry me…”

“Is it true….that you love me?” My face was
reddened as I asked the question.

He was very convincing when he said that to my parents.

“Would you believe me if I say I’m also eating
dog sh*t? Use your head for a second.”

“That sounds about, right… You should be an actor, you almost tricked me! I want to marry someone I love…”

“Good luck with that.” He said in sarcasm.

“For the time being, let’s just pretend to agree with the marriage. We can arrange an engagement. It’s not for me. It’s for you. Your stomach will grow bigger. People will talk. If we are engaged and you are pregnant. I already saved your face.”

He was right.

I gritted my teeth.

I hate him so much, so very much.

“It’s only pretend then,”

Even if I could not date Gabriel in this life, I would rather not marry this prick.

This egomaniac, narcissistic bas***d.

“Whatever suits you.” He shrugged.

Recalling the terror on my parents’ face, I had no choice.

I would let Richard protect me now.

We can break the engagement or whatever it was later.

“.. Okay…. But promise me, I can break this
anytime.’”

“Sure.” He took one of my books from the shelf.

I read a lot.

“Don’t touch anything in my room. You will
contaminate them with germs.” I spoke as I snatched the book from his hand.

He calmly took another book, and I snatched it again.

“Can you not?.”

Finally, he leaned on the shelf as I put the book back.

He continued,

“So about the engagement.”

“No celebration….”

What would Gabriel think of me if he finds out that I am pregnant for his best friend?

“Just a simple dinner with family only… please.” I added the last line, hoping he has some compassion.

“You are about to get engaged to the most
wanted bachelor, and you would rather not celebrate it grandly? This is probably your only chance.”

“I don’t want to ruin my image and scare my
future husband away.” I sneered.

“Fine by me. But you can’t see anyone while
we are engaged. Don’t even think about it”

“Shouldn’t you say that to yourself?”

“I have no problem with that.”

I didn’t believe him a bit.

In terms of women, I believed he had some dirty secrets.

“okay.”

Don’t let him fool you, Annabelle. No matter what, you can’t fall in love with him. People like him only will hurt you.

My subconsciousness warned.

“I will arrange dinner as soon as possible.”

“Okay.” I nodded my head as I bite my lips.

I did not know what else to say.

“Tomorrow I will pick you up after lecture.”

“Why?”

I would rather not meet him so often.

“So we can go to the hospital. I want to see the baby.”

“I’m busy, set it for another day.”

“Then call me whenever you have time.”

The baby……

What would happen after the baby’s birth…..

He said he will raise it….

But….

“I want to. Anyway, It’s already time for me to leave. Walk me out now.”

“Can you go by yourself?” I asked unhappily.

“Shouldn’t you see your fiancé out?””

TCH.

“Don’t come without telling me next time, or else I would not let you in.”

I would not let him boss me around.

“Then I will have my mother-in-law open the door for me.”
