章節 1: Prologue

Smoke from cigarettes welcomed her as she stepped into the room where the party was held. The room was nice and had beautiful artifacts, it was dimly lit too. She was about to take a seat when she bumped into her old-time best friend. They exchanged hugs and kisses on the cheek before settling down to talk over a glass of champagne. Callista expressed much joy as she sat across from her beloved best friend chattering happily. They were in the middle of a discussion when Callista excused herself for the bathroom which left her alone. Her eyes danced around the room in search of something interesting when she got interrupted by the voice of a man which caught her attention and she fixed her gaze on him.

"Yes, mister?" She finally spoke up after much staring that seemed endless.

"Izla." He said with an outstretched arm.

She stared at him, she had recalled where she last met him. He had insulted her earlier due to a little mistake and she needed a place to cool her head and so, she left for the balcony. She didn't expect to see him again after walking back into the hall.

"I know you."

She glanced away and kept her eyes focused on the wall paintings.

"Oh, you love them? I had those painted." He expressed with a big smile playing on his lips. She looked at him sternly before looking away. "Fascinating." She murmured in a low voice.

"Yeah."

"I'm quite surprised this beautiful piece of art came from a person of your sort." She sighed.

"I beg your pardon?"

"Excuse me, mister, I'm sort of busy here." She said and returned her gaze to the art.

She politely flagged down a waiter and reached for a glass of tequila before walking out of the room.

She walked into a room that felt and looked more like a secret chamber. It had more art, graffiti, and even glass artifacts. She reached for a glass artifact of a bunny. "What do you want, missy?" a voice thundered, causing her to drop the artifact as she shuddered. The sound of glass crashing and shattering to pieces on the floor was heard as she stood there, staring at it in shock.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, how much does it cost? I'll replace it."

He gave her a stern look as she bent to gather the pieces. He walked over to her with a dustpan and brush in his hands, he handed it over to her.

"I'm so sorry, I'll replace it."

"You have no respect for people. It's your kind of clumsy person that goes about sniffing. I don't want your apology. It's how paupers like you do, it's probably your first time seeing a glass artifact."

She narrowed her eyes at him before getting rid of the glass and cleaning materials. She placed a $5,000 note on the table and turned on her heels, about to walk out the door when his laughter filled the air, causing her to stop abruptly.

"I'm sorry, what's this?" He asked tossing the note in the air.

She looked at him with hurt in her eyes for a moment, before it switched to anger.

"What were you thinking? Those artifacts don't cost $5,000 ma'am. That artifact you broke isn't $5,000. Now, you walked into my chambers uninvited, touched my stuff without permission, broke it, even, and then tipped me $5,000. I call it a tip because it isn't worth it! Excuse me, I think you dropped the money accidentally, so, accidentally come and pick up your tissue paper, please?" He said chuckling.

"How much more mister? I apologized and yet you're embarrassing me because of a worthless glass artifact."

"Uh uh. Not worthless. That artifact cost me half a million dollars!" He said.

She pulled out her chequebook and quickly wrote him a check for $460,000 to add up to the $5,000.

"Suit yourself, mister. Keep the change. Excuse me." She said and walked away leaving him in utter disbelief as he stared down at the check that sat on his table.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

She was starting to enjoy the party and her tequila when he came along.

"Hey pretty, I guess I didn't introduce myself properly."

She glanced to her right side to see who it was. It was the guy from the chambers.

"I'm Mateo." He said anticipating a reply in return but all he got was cold silence, she acted as though he didn't exist.

"I'm Mateo..."

"I heard you before, Mateo. I'm sort of busy and I'm not ready for another session of embarrassment." She said and took a sip of her drink.

She had already taken about 5 glasses of alcohol and it was starting to get the best of her. He sat across from her, enjoying his drink and observing her as she drank a lot. Callista hadn't returned from the bathroom or maybe she had, but, she didn't come looking for Anisa until now.

"Anisa," Callista called out.

"Anisa? Pretty nice name you've got there." He complimented.

"Duhhhh." She said and resumed drinking.

Callista already left having seen Anisa having a fun time with Mateo, she had concluded that they were so indulged in a conversation and she didn't want to interrupt, so she left.

Mateo lifted her in his arms, she was fast asleep, wasted from all that drinking and it hinted in her breath. He took her to the room he had booked for himself earlier.

He laid her down gently, adjusting and covering her up after which he resumed drinking. He tried hard to drink and act like he was alone but it failed him. The room was dim lit with blue lights which made the wallpapers appear a shade of purple, like the periwinkle type. He sat on the bed, drinking his wine and observing the room. It took a few more minutes before he too, was wasted, he looked at her in his drunken state, she seemed to have gotten more beautiful.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

IN THE MORNING

Rays of sunlight fell on her eyelids and she rolled over to the other side of the bed but was hindered at a point, she wasn't sleeping by the wall side, and there wasn't any pillow beside her. What seemed to be an obstruction to her movement didn't feel pillow-like. She sat up immediately after realizing it was the guy from last night.

She fixed an angry gaze at him, sulking and hitting herself for all that happened. Her anger spiked up when she realized that they were both naked. She grabbed her pillow and hit him with it.

He rolled before peeling open an eye.

"What the hell is it? Crazy woman!" He spat out.

"You fucking took advantage of me and you're calling me crazy?!" She half yelled.

"We were both wasted." He said nonchalantly.

She gave him this daring look before calming her nerves. She walked over to the bathroom with the bedsheet, leaving him completely nude in the room, ignoring his calls as he pleaded to have the sheets. Waterfalls on her skin as she smoothened out her hair whilst in the shower. She was very mad and felt the need to kill that perv immediately but how would she?

It took her extra 30 minutes to finish up.

The room was cold and he was also fast asleep. She eyed him from the corners of her eyes before walking over to the closet to put on her clothes.

She left the room shortly after, in her mini blue gown.

"Fells street." She stated before hopping into the cab. The ride to her house was quiet and lonely, she lay on the seat, recounting all that took place the previous day, but all that she could remember was sipping her wine in the balcony.

She alighted the cab and her little darling came running to her with outspread arms, screaming "mommy" as she gradually approached her.

She lifted her baby in her hands, smiling back at her.

"Sophie, how are you?" She replied with a *fine* for an answer before they walked into the house.

She settled down on the sofa with Sophie, playing with her before fixing herself and Sofia two glasses of fruit juice respectively.

"Where...sleep...mamà?" Sophie asked.

Sophie's a 3-year-old blonde girl, small, has a very beautiful rare type of blue eyes and a small mouth too. She's just too attractive and cute to behold.

"Oh, mamà went to a party last night honey, but mamà's back now. She slept at a friend's." She replied, placing a kiss on her daughter's cheek.

"They....taunt me....in school.....because of pa...pa, mamà." Sophie recounted to her mother as they were talking about her dad.

"Hey, don't mind them. Daddy is here okay?" She said, taking Sophie's hand and placing it on her chest. "Daddy is right in there. So, when they taunt you again...."

"Tell them...I have a daddy." Sophie spoke up and giggled.

"Yes baby." She cupped her face with her hands as a smioe played on her lips. "Andaline!" Anisa yelled and Andaline came running toward her.

"Yes ma'am."

"Take Sophie to sleep, please. Tell Grace to cook me something please, I'm famished." She said and Andaline left with Sophie in her arms.

The living room was well furnished and neatly arranged, it had black and white wallpapers and it looked outstandingly elegant. The furnitures were placed in their respective orders and were cleaned every day.

"And where are you coming from? Anisa?"


章節 2: Chapter 1

"Anisa, where are you coming from?" Her aunt asked sitting in a corner of the room, legs crossed.

A smile played on her lips and she rolled her tongue around her mouth before speaking up.

"Last time I checked, aunt Taylor.....you're not my mom. I'm supposed to be asking where you're coming from as you barely sleep in the house. The late nights, the guys...I would love to shower and rest if you don't mind, I'm famished." She said and walked out on her.

*4 weeks later*

She sat quietly in her mansion, thinking of what happened 4 weeks ago, she suspected pregnancy and it was true. She wasn't ready to have another child but then it came. She took out her phone to dial Adelita, she answered the phone after a short time. They got on talking, from greetings to asking about well-being.

"I think he deserves to know. So what? Are you going to abort the child?" Adelita asked.

"No, no. I can't do that, but, I don't want to have anything to do with Mateo." She whined.

"You have to tell him, besides, it'll benefit you if you guys get married, because you wouldn't have to return to Spain. You'd just reside here because your husband is an American citizen, so, it'll be a walkover for your green card. And Sofia too, don't you think she needs a dad?"

"I'll think about it." She said and hung up.

She paced up and down the room thinking...

"Andaline!" She yelled and Andaline came knocking on her door.

"Please, bring my daughter to me."

She resumed pacing up and down the room, she was very bothered and was already starting to think of how life would be with this arrogant, grumpy human when Andaline walked in with Sofia.

"Thank you." She said and Andaline turned on her heels to leave when Anisa beckoned on her to sit.

"Hey, baby," Anisa said, hugging Sofia.

"Have....youad something?" Sophie asked.

"No...." She paused. "What do you think of a daddy?"

"Is daddy coming home?" Her face lit up with a smile.

"Something like that."

"Yayy! Bring him then."

"What if it's another dady?" She observed her facial expressions for a while as the smile slowly faded away.

"I want Daddy, màmà."

She pulled her into a tight hug and smoothened out her hair. "Mommy has somewhere to go now." Anisa kissed her forehead before turning abruptly to Andaline, asking of her opinion concerning her decision and Andaline gave a positive opinion.

They left the room and Anisa walked into the kitchen.

"Gracey, please pack it up in a flask I'll eat when I'm back," Anisa said before walking out of the kitchen.

**************************************************************

MATEO

*4 WEEKS AGO*

The room was quiet, all that could be heard were the sound of the chirping birds outside. Mateo rolled over after the sun cast its rays on his eyelids, he groaned and sat up, gently rubbing his eyes. The room was bright too. He stole a glance at the wall clock. It was 8:00 am, and he hadn't even done anything useful.

He got out of bed to freshen up and probably leave, the doorbell rang and he opened it. A short blonde lady walked right in with a tray containing concealed food.

"Good morning, sir." She greeted as she placed the tray down on the table.

"Sorry, did you by any chance see any brunette lady this morning?" He asked as she was about to leave.

"Ah, yes. The janitor." Mateo rolled his eyes and shut the door in her face.

He finished up all he had to do before leaving the hotel.

*PRESENT DAY*

The mansion was empty as usual, he walked over to the wine cabinet and pulled out a bottle of wine. He had already poured out a reasonable amount ready to drink when Stella (his maid) informed him of a lady who was here to see him. Mateo wondered who it might be as he hadn't met any lady just yet and the one he met 4 weeks ago, he was sure wouldn't have a clue where he lived.

He gave her a look of approval to let the guest in. He walked over to the table and sat the bottle down before facing the window, sipping his wine.

The sound of heels clinked at every step the lady took. She stood behind him, and Mateo slowly turned around. He looked at her for a while with shock written all over his face.

"Remind me your name again?" He said and continued sipping his wine. She flashed him a smile.

"I guess I didn't do a proper introduction last time. Anisa Rodriguez, are you going to welcome me or not?!" She said with a stern look plastered on her face.

"Ahh, miss Rodriguez. I'm Mateo Fernandez. What do you want?" He asked pouring out a reasonable amount of wine for her.

"Save your wine. I'm pregnant for you." She stated and he burst out in laughter.

"Sorry, how's that even possible?"

"Excuse me? You took advantage of me in my sober state and you're asking how it's possible?!"

"We were both drunk." He said and this angers her even more. "I have a solution for you. I would agree to take care of you and accept that child on the condition you marry me."

"I was also going to proffer a solution to this. I can't marry you for you to take care of me and my child, I've more than enough for that. Take a look. " She said, tossing a file on the table in front of him. He raised a brow at her before picking up the file. He snapped his finger and a man who looked like he was in his mid 30's stepped out. He whispered something to him and he nodded and left. The man returned shortly after with a file in his hands, Mateo took the file from him and handed it over to Anisa.

"I've gone through this, I see it's an old contract and one you want me to sign. It isn't that recent. How long have you been in the states?"

"3 months. You're very much right, it isn't recent. I made that contract when I first got here, for a contracted marriage, I need a green card and so it's a contract my pretend husband would sign. I've been so unlucky to find someone." Anisa stated whilst going through the file in her hands.

"I see. You've got a daughter too."

"Yes. An inheritance? How important is this?"

"Very important, it's as important as your green card is to you." He said.

"Once we get what we want, we'd split," Anisa stated.

"I can't wait to split," Mateo said and Anisa rolled her eyes.

"Deal?!" Anisa asked.

"Deal," Mateo said as they shook hands and exchanged the files. "How did you know I live here?"

"Don't ask much," Anisa said.

"I'll get my men to bring your stuff over," Mateo said.

"I don't need your filthy help! I'll get my stuff myself." With that being said, she walked away.

They had just signed a contract marriage, a fixed marriage.

Anisa got in her car, thinking and wondering, hoping she took the right step. The thought of having to live with this cold man popped up in her head again and she sighed before starting the car.

She drove down the hilly road as she listened to her favourite song play on the radio. The drive was a short and silent one.

She alighted her car and walked into the tall building that stood erect in front of her. She rang the doorbell when she got to the third floor and a redhead came out, beaming with smiles. They hugged each other in excitement before walking into the house.

"How did it go?"

"Not bad. We both thought of proposing a contract marriage, it was fine." Anisa stated. Lita brought her a glass of orange juice as they discussed.

"Do you feel okay with this?"

"I don't know, I just hope I did the right thing. I don't know how I'm gonna live with that annoying butthead. " Anisa said with a little frown on her face.

"You'll get used to it."

Kira ran out of her room at the sound of my voice, she hugged my legs and I carried her up, she reminded me of how Sofia would see me coming and she'd spread her arms like she was an eagle and she'd end up hugging my legs because she's short.

"Hey Kay, I got you something." She took out a bar of candy and put it in Kira's hand.

"Juan has been good," Lita said with a huge smile playing on her lips.

"Oh? I see. Extend my regards to him, I'm afraid I've to be on my way now. I'll need you to help me pack stuff tomorrow. I'll be leaving for Mateo's house. Oh, I just remembered I've somethings to do at the office before I get home."

"Okay, I'll come with Kira. I should get back to what I was doing before you came. Juan would soon be back. Thanks for stopping by." She hugged Anisa and saw her off before walking back into the house to finish up with the house chores.
