Chapter 51

Dad clears his throat and smiles at me "you kept asking us, why are we here? What do we want? Well now you know. Now you know that we have every right to be here"
I stare blankly at my parents and struggle to find my voice. What are they talking about? What do they mean? It can't possibly be true, they aren't saying the truth. An heir? I owe them a child, my child. But I don't have a child, how can I possibly owe them another humans life? I don't remember taking a child from them. What is happening?
"Cat suddenly cut your tongue? You can't speak anymore? No, go on, rattle on. Talk and talk and preach. Oh, I can't wait to hear what you have to say. You know everything right? You know we failed as parents, you know we're disgusting, you know we're filthy, you know every single thing. You always seem to have an answer, a solution to every predicament. So what are you waiting for? SPEAK!!!" Mum smirks triumphantly and sits in the couch.
"what.... What are you both talking about? What do you mean by an heir? How do I owe you both an heir? If you think you can just come here and make up stories then I'm afraid but you'll be disappointed"
"Oh, it seems like you have no idea. Well then, I'll be more than happy to let you know. In that contract you signed, it also states that you have to give birth to two children"
"I'm not going to do that! Are you listening? I will not succumb to your psychotic wishes. I will not have children just so you both can be richer and fulfil your twisted and psychotic desires. Not in a million years, I tell you"
Dad snorts "you sound like you have a choice"
I fold my arms "well that's because I do, I do have a choice. I'm not your puppet"
"But you seem to be your husband's puppet" mum states cocking her head to the side.
"excuse me?"
"you're excused my dear. Oh, you preach to us but you also seem to disregard preaching to your husband. Your husband has made your life's decision without your knowledge"
I take in a shaky breath "what are you talking about? You must be lying, you always lie"
"but this time we speak of the truth my dear. A truth that will ruin you" Dad says sitting down too.
"what do you mean! Just speak"
"The last time we were here, after you walked out on us, we gave Damien the remaining details of the contract. The one that says it's a life contract. But Damien asked how you both could get out of the contract and we gave him the terms and the drafted conditions to sign. Damien accepted the conditions, signed the contract right there and then and promised to get your tomprint. Barely two days later, he came back with the contract, it was signed and your tomprint was visible"
My legs felt wobbly as her words sunk in. Damien had signed the contract, without informing me? He accepted the conditions without telling me? He took my tomprint without consulting me? Why do people keep making decisions for me? why does everybody make my life choices without asking me? Damien.... Damien... He betrayed me, he didn't see it fit to ask me if I wanted this. No wonder, he was so adamant to have me sleep in the same room as him. He must have took my tomprint while I was asleep.
"Are you pregnant yet" my dad's arrogant voice snaps me out of my trance.
"Excuse me?" I ask annoyed.
"I said are you pregnant yet?"
I glare at him "I heard you, why would you ask me that kind of question? how is it any of your business?"
"well it is, it very much is our business infact, because you have no choice than to get pregnant and do that soon. We are expecting your first child soon. Then you can think of the next"
I scowl at him "you expect me to birth a child and just hand my child over to you?"
Mum chuckles "oh no! That's not what we're saying. If you give birth to the children, they'll be our grandchildren and if we're lucky and they're both boys, then they'll be our heir. Either way, the birth of this children help us a great deal" I know there is much more to this than they are letting on. The concealed look on their faces give it all away. They're up to something, I must be very careful.
"Get out" I snarl angrily.
"Excuse me?" They say simultaneously.
"You're excused. I said get out, both of you. I don't know who you both are but I'm certainly sure you're not my parents. No parents will subject their children to this disgusting and insufferable fate"
"are you asking us to leave? You dare ask us out?" Dad asks incredulously.
I give him a warm smile "of course not, I'm not asking you both out. Oh no, I'm ordering you out. Like, right now. Get out and make sure that you stay at least a hundred metres away from me cause I promise you that I'll make your life's a living hell if you dare come anywhere near me ever again"
Mum takes a step back in shock "you are making a big mistake, keeping us away from you will not cancel the contract" dad snarled angrily.
"but at least it can keep me from seeing the people that has caused me pain. I won't get reminded of every single betrayal, you both are the reminders of my foolishness and I don't want that around me. Now leave!!!"
Mum opened her mouth to say something but dad reached out for her hand and practically dragged her outside. Just as they closed the door and left, Damien opens the door and enters the living room.
"You bast*rd" I scream throwing a nearby vase at him.
