Marco's POV
Inaayos ko ang aking sarili nang may kumatok.
"Good morning Sir, someone is looking for you and she said its emergency," she said, and immediately my chest beat as soon as I heard what she had to say.
"She?" I ask that I want to know who that is.
"Yes, Sir"
"Let her come in," I said not bothering to ask the name of whoever it will be.
I was surprised to see her slowly enter my office, yes I know that one of these days ay mapupunta siya sa ganitong sitwasyon ngunit di ko alam na ganito kaaga. Mirana looked around the room and was surprised when she read my name on the table. Inaasahan kong mangyayari ito at kailangan kong simulan ang dapat na pinaghandaan ko noon pa. I don't know why it's so hard for me to forgive her, masyado ata akong nasaktan sa mga sinabi at ginawa niya sa akin noon, hindi lang isa, hindi lang dalawa she broke my heart again and again.
At first, I was about to forgive her in Brazil and was willing to tell her that I was the Kid she knew but she still betrayed me. It was just so painful and she even-handed the baby over to someone else even though I was the real father. And now she's standing in front of me with obvious panic.
"Kid," she whispered that I had longed to hear that from her lips but now it made me even angrier that I didn't know why.
Is it because I am reminded of the humiliation she has caused me? Pagpapahiya niya sa akin noon sa harapan ng maraming tao.
"Kid," I bitterly mocked
"Oh come on Mirana Vaughn! Is that all you can say? Welcome me,"
I said sarcastic and comfortably sat at my desk. I looked at her closely and to this day her beauty is still wanting even though her dress is simple, the bulge of her stomach obvious. She was also pale and a little depressed, I wanted to tell her kung naaalagan niya man lang ba ang sarili niya dahil apektado rin ang batang nasa sa kanyang sinapupunan. I also noticed her slippers and in my estimation, she only attached with a shoe glue because it looked worn out. Doesn't she have money to buy cheap sandals?
"So tell me, why are you here?" comfortable I asked as I looked her in the eyes. I noticed that she was a little surprised or embarrassed by his presence, alam kong di siya sanay sa kanyang suot, ibang iba na siya sa Miranang kilala ko noon, ibang iba.
"Don't be so ambitious that I will put you in my good chairs because people like you are dirt, isang maruming tao. Ni di ka man lang nag abalang mag-ayos bago ka umapak sa kompanyang ito, wala ka bang pera pang bili ng sandals mo? What happened sa Mirana na kilala ko noon, wala ka man lang bang isang dolyar? Oh wait wala nga pala kaya andito ka ngayon sa harapan ko para umamoy ng pera," I slowly told her that she had shed her tears. I don't know if I should believe her tears or is this one of her worthless art. Gusto kong maniwala sa mga iyak niya ngayon pero di ko alam kung kailangan pa bang maniwala ng puso ko sa kanya.
"I have your child," she says that doesn't surprise me at all. I know the child she is carrying is mine but I should not just allow it without replacement.
"Mine?" I laugh in sarcastic.
"It's yours," she said tearfully habang hawak hawak niya ang kanyang tiyan.
"How can I be sure it's mine?" I raised my eyebrow as I crossed my arms., alam kong di ko dapat tinatanong at ginagawa ito but you can't blame me.
"It is-" she bit her lower lip.
"If you think you can fool me again like what you did to Adam, well you're mistaken. I don't even know if that child you are bearing is totally mine and you're just telling that because I'm rich, I have a lot of money. Tell me how much do you want and I'll give it to you instantly," I sternly said as I stood straight and eyed her from head to toe like I was disgusted to see her crying. Habang umiiyak siya ngayon sa harapan ko naalala ko na naman ang nakraan, nakaraang nais ko ng kalimutan pero hindi, hindi ko kaya, call me bitter pero yun ang totoo.
Does she really hurt or just playing?
"If you are here just to make a scene, then you should already leave, woman. You're wasting my time and time for me is money," I coldly said and gesture the door for her to leave.
"I'll do anything, anything Marco just for the child, please I'm begging you, kahit sa bata nalang, gagawin ko ang lahat ng nais mo. Alam kong napaklaki ng kasalanan ko sa iyo. At alam kong di mo na ako mapapatawad pa pero please nagmamakaawa ako walang kinabukasan ang batang ito sa akin ayaw ko siyang matulad sa sitwasyon ko, I want this child to have a better future please," she said desperately as the tears run down freely in her cheeks and her hands were held tight.
"Just for the child," she whispered enough for me to hear.
"anything?" I asked surely, this is exactly what I'm waiting for her to say.
"anything" she answered in a raspy voice as her tears still running freely on her cheeks but wipe it away.
"Then be my servant, you will do anything I command and that child is my answer," I stated as I look at her, and by the time Mirana gives birth to my child, I will move the baby away from her. And she could go and look for her new life and of course, I would give her a percentage because she brought my son along for the rest of her life.
"Do we have a deal," I asked and a playful smile showed in my face.
"Deal," she replied that I could not see in her eyes if she was hurting but that I should not waste the time what was important was she agreed with me.
