Chapter 41

WITHOUT knocking he entered inside Alessandro's office. His two eyebrows met as he approached it.
"I want that woman out of my house immediately, Forfax!" asik niya.
Alessandro didn't even look up. "Good evening too, kid," it formally greeted.
"We have a deal! I thought you were a man of words?" His jaw clenched. "My home only belongs to Celestine. I want that woman out before my wedding."
Alessandro still looked unbothered which makes him pissed even more.
"Are you f ** cking listening, old man?" he asked nervously.
"Your father has already did my job. The woman is probably out of your house this moment."
His forehead furrowed. "He would never do that. He's the one who kept on sending those women."
"Oh, your woman didn't tell you?" its teasing question in a calm voice. I will choke this man to death.
"Tell me straight to the point, Forfax before you pissed me off real bad," he insisted.
Alessandro turned the page before speaking. "She made a deal with your father."
What?
"What deal?"
"Ask your woman. Spilling all the truth is not my cup of tea. You may now leave."
Why didn't she tell me about this?
He left the room. He drove home quickly. True to what old man said. The woman is no longer in the mansion.
"Where is Celestine?"
The maid stopped walking. "Sir, he's in your room. That's where I saw him go."
He nodded before he went upstairs. He saw her in the bed .... eating mango with that red thing?
"You have a lot of explaining to do, woman," he insisted.
Her eyes narrowed as he just raised an eyebrow at her. She's really weird. He can't really figure out what's in her mind lately.
"What's that?" she asked before biting the mango. His eyebrows met because of the way it bites and chews.
"What's the deal between you and my father? Why did you hide it away from me?"
"Secret. It's just us. The important thing is that no more cobras will appear here," he replied.
"I demand the right to know! My father is a trickster. He might be tricking you—"
From leaning on the headboard. It straightened up sitting. "Why are you so angry? Maybe because no other women are coming here, no? You don't have a choice B or C?"
"What?" What the hell? How did that get into the conversation?
He sniffed and then got off the bed. Before the girl could pass him, he grabbed her by the arm.
"Babe," he called softly. He's pissed because she kept it from him but he can't let her walk out of this room without them getting along. They need to talk.
It frowned as it looked up. "There is neither choice B nor B. There is only one choice and that was you. Don't be mad, okay? I was just worried. I knew my father better," he explained.
The wind blew it away. "So it's a secret because I know you'll say that. If you want to know what our deal is. First try to talk to your dad without you always nagging."
His jaw clenched. "I don't think I can do that."
"He helped us all the time. Do you remember back then at the beach? I wanted to be angry with you but when I talked to your dad I was more courageous to find out if you like me too. Another thing, when you drove me to Your office. I was very hurt but I didn't give up on you because I understood you better. "
He was lost in words. He didn't know.
"Your dad has no plans to follow in the footsteps of your family when your mom disappeared. The women who showed up here? It's just props so you don't notice because you shouldn't know. He's not that involved. It's necessary. just listen ... "
She closes her eyes tightly. "I'll try, okay? If I managed to listen and understand him. Will you tell 'kin about the deal."
He quickly looked up and then smiled broadly. He shakes his head internally. She made me feel guilty so I will agree, tss.
"Of course. I can keep my promise." Nameywang ito. "Of course, papa said we shouldn't be in the same bed. So I'll be on the other side first."
"What? No way!" he protested.
She ignored his protests, "There's more, wait!"
He followed it with a look. She took out something, like a little x-tray and a thermometer. He approached and took her hand.
"What is that—"
"Congrats! You're a dad!"
Her lips parted. His brain must have froze when he heard that. He bit his mouth. He was fainting sitting up in bed.
I am gonna be a father soon?
I am gonna have a little me! No! It should be little me and Celestine
"I hope it'll be a twin," he murmured.
"You want more twins! Are you going to give birth?"
He ignored her statement and pulled her to sit in his lap. He gave her a deep kiss.
"I love you so much, babe," he said sincerely. He is so happy. She felt like nothing could break the smile on her lips.
Celestine kissed his cheek. "I love you too."
He can't help but start kissing her neck. He stopped suddenly when Celestine tapped his forehead.
"Get married before bed. So put your lips and hand away. I might cut it off."
He frowned. "You're already pregnant with me, and besides, the wedding preparation just started."
It patted his shoulder. "It's not my fault. So hurry up."
"It's not fair!"
It stood up then took the plate with mango. "By the way, you want to talk to papa. You seem to talk man to man. Babyee!"
He was left dumbfounded alone in the room. Damn! And here he thought it was his lucky day.
He's so wrong.
EPILOGUE
He turned to the young man after he got dressed. Earlier it was quiet and idiotic. Today is the day they go to her parents' house. Don't you say that's the reason?
"Are you still breathing there?" he asked.
"Yeah."
Her eyes went to him as he approached. He immediately grabbed her arm and sat her on his lap.
"Don't wear heels," it commands. Looks even idiotic. It knew what he was planning.
"It's only 3 inches, eh. For something here in the dress," he convinced.
"Flats are better. Don't be stubborn, Celestine."
He smirked. "Why are you an idiot? What I said was just a joke. Papa really doesn't have a shotgun at home. He doesn't hold a gun," he said.
Its eyes dimmed. She felt goosebumps as it caressed her stomach with a small bulge already.
"It's not about that. I can handle my father-in-law well," he replied.
"The arrogance but faded when I said Dad had a shotgun." He smirked at it.
"You're sweet then the next second you're grumpy as hell. Hindi kaya kambal 'to?"
He slapped his hand on her stomach. "No! It's just single! Why are you praying for twins? It's hard to give birth," she complained.
"It's just like being single. Don't you like that? You won't have a hard time next time," he said dryly.
Her eyebrows rose. "You can't prank me, Alexendris. Stand there. They're already waiting for us."
It looked like it had melted all of a sudden.
"Okay..."
They also took a few hours on the trip. They will never go home. It's tomorrow. His mother wanted them to spend the night there. No one knew she was pregnant. Surprise match.
"Babe..."
He looked at it. "Why?"
It did not respond. It laid the palm in front of him. Astonished he touched it. It folded their fingers. His kiss on the back of her palm made her smile.
"I have something to tell you," he said.
"What's that?"
He brought their clasped hands to his thigh. "I made a deal with Forfax to kicked the two ladies out. I thought that, you should know."
"What's the deal?" he asked. The man named Forfax is still scary.
"You have to promise me you won't get mad."
"What's that?" he asked hurriedly.
"It was the about group. He wanted to bring back the group we damaged after our leader had an accident. I don't really want to join again because it's all about illegal stuff. I'm done with the power it possesses. Especially now that you ' "re pregnant but I can't back out. I made a promise," it said.
"Illegal? Does that mean you can be imprisoned?" his questioning eyes widened.
"No. Not a chance. The real problem here is the enemies underground." It blew up violently. "I can't stop it so might as well tell you to be aware. I'll gather my most trusted men to guard our home and you."
"Is Forfax and those with you bad ... people?" he asked.
A small smile formed on the young man's lips. "They're not. They were annoying as f*ck but not bad."
"Can I meet them?" he asked.
"I don't think so. Collins, our idiot leader is blind. He's a little aggressive. Harrison? That idiot is sick mushroom-like emotional bastard. Forfax is always busy to run his company and the group. He's strict. But I think, you'll mostly get along with Gray and Zach, "it said.
She was wow. "There are many of you. Why didn't I even meet even one of them?"
"They were unstable. Don't wish to meet them all," the young man replied shaking his head.
She shrugged. A few more minutes passed before they reached the house. He turned to the young man who was looking at the parked car.
"Is that my father's car?" its question.
He nodded. "Yep." He got out of the car and adjusted his clothes. He grabbed the young man's arm and pulled him inside.
"Mom!" he greeted the mother he had met.
It looked up and waved. "Your duration. The food will be cold."
"I'm sorry, Tita. Traffic ho," Alexendris replied.
Her mother looked at her boyfriend. "Here's your Dad. They're talking about marriage. Let your Dad explain everything to us. Don't worry," said his Mom.
She smiled. The young man took a deep breath. "Thanks, Tita."
Her mother kept smiling. "Go into the dining room and eat."
She catches her Dad and Alexendris"s Dad talking. Her Dad's aura was light. It looked up at them.
"Surprisee! I'm here!" he greeted me happily. "What dish, Ma?"
He was speechless when he saw the bicol express and grapes in the middle of the table. He immediately sat down and was ready to eat when his Mother rebuked him.
"Pray first, Celestine! What can I preach to you? It's embarrassing! There's a visitor!" sermon of his Mother.
"It's not that, Ma. Dad and I are close to that," he said.
"Dad?" Alexendris asked in astonishment.
"Your dad. Dad I call him. Why?"
The table napkin that Alexendris's dad was supposed to put in the air hung in the air when he heard her call. The groom laughed softly.
"That's nice. Very nice," the young man said laughing.
He shrugged and ate. She had a lot to eat because her Mama's cooking was so delicious. The sharpness and tenderness of the meat are just right. Here he really inherited. He drank a lot of water.
Now he is eating. It's time for her surprise!
With a big smile he called the attention of his Mom and Dad. "I have something to say. It's important," he promised.
It's true that everyone is finishing the meal. Everyone looked at him. She felt the young man holding her hand.
"Ma! Pa!" He smiled broadly. "Congrats! You're going to have grandchildren!"
Her parents were stunned. Alexendris's father closes his eyes tightly.
"I actually tell them no baby after marriage but ... it's still your choice," said Alexendris' dad. "Goodluck son."
Her father's eyes widened at the young man who had turned pale. "Where's my shotgun?"
Alexendris's grip on him tightened.
"In the bedroom, hon," her Mom replied.
He frowned at the young man. "Promise, I didn't know there was a shotgun."
The young man quickly stood up and ran out of the kitchen. She shrugged. He knew his room.
"Goodluck babe. I love you..." he whispered while eating grapes.
