CHAPTER 50
-What were you doing here at this time of night?
-My work, Mr. Ainsworth, in fact, the young lady can tell you the questions I asked her when she was here. -I frown as I look at Claudia. -I have to go. We will be in touch Mr. Eros.
When the agent leaves my house, I hear the mocking laugh that escapes from Claudia, so as I turn my sight to her, I kept the door open for her to leave too, she’s forbidden to be here and more if her intentions are others.
-Eros please…
-Don’t make me call security.
She looks at me annoyed and leaves my house and I slam the door shut feeling relieved that she is out of here and away from Bianca, that woman is too dangerous with her tongue, manipulative, I even think she is worse than Melissa.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
-Lupe, you were here.
-Was that my daughter who came young Eros?
-Yes, but you know she is not welcome in this house, not like you. I’m sorry, but you know she’s too manipulative and can’t be near my wife,” she waves a sad smile, “Go rest, yes.
She nods shaking her head so I went upstairs and entered our room, seeing them both I was happy to see them, they were both sleeping on the bed, I settle down next to her while closing my eyes, I didn’t want to remember what happened, she doesn’t care more than my well being so I will only rest for a day or two maximum and spend all that time with them.
I woke up abruptly when I hear Stacy talking to Bianca from the other side of the door, but my wife is a deep sleeper and doesn’t seem to wake up so I get up to find out what she wanted.
-I’m sorry to bother you sir, but I need to talk to Bianca about something.
-What is so urgent.
I went down immediately to receive Bianca’s mother, she when she saw me was surprised, she asks me about her daughter but I told her she was asleep, she sighs and says it was a relief since she had portrayed of her decision.
I didn’t understand what she was talking about, I feel worried when I see her shed a couple of tears, she asks me if I can keep a secret from her so I took her to my office so we could talk without worrying that someone would hear us.
-Ma’am, I’m getting worried.
-I have cancer. -And today I want to do something for my baby before my time comes to an end.
-But what are you saying… -This was not right, Bianca will die if she finds out that her mother is sick, her mother is everything to her -Don’t worry, we will get the best doctors to make a diagnosis….
-No, -she says sadly -I don’t want to take advantage, I prefer her to stay like this, I will be in treatment, but there are not many chances to survive. -Of course I won’t leave it like this, my wife won’t be the same without her. -But I want her to help me. One day, Bianca asked me if I had a father, I told her that he had abandoned us, but the reality is that I lied to her.
-What? Why did you do that?
-Because when I knew I was pregnant with her, her father was a young man like you, high society, rich. One day he said he would talk to her parents about our relationship, he did,” he waved a smile with disappointment, “We waited for an answer from them while we had lunch together, I felt the atmosphere very heavy so I left them alone for a few minutes to go to the bathroom but when I was on my way back with them, I heard how they told him clearly that they would not allow our relationship, he opposed of course, but as a consequence of his opposition… they sent him away to another country, when they told him I thought they would not do it. .. they sent him away to another country, when they told him I thought they wouldn’t do it, but when he didn’t come back to my house, I knew they had done it, a month later, I found out I was pregnant by him.
“I thought those kinds of stories were just cliche, but I was wrong.”
-And… can you tell me who is this young man who was your boyfriend?
-Are you familiar with the surname Blood?
-Blood. -I repeat and she nods. -Are we talking about the same Blood?
-Yes.
“Damn!…”
The Blood family is the richest Family in the world, our family is after them, their influence in the world outweighs ours, with my mouth open I do nothing but laugh as going from sad news to shocking news is explosive. “Fuck, Bianca is Lucius Blood’s daughter!”
-Madam, you realize what you are telling me. -She nods, “Lucius Blood has no children, and that makes Bianca the only heir to the empire that family has built.
-No,” she said annoyed. -Don’t misunderstand me, Eros. I want my daughter to know about this and probably Lucius, but I don’t want my daughter to have any kind of link with her father’s family.
-Madam, but don’t you think that’s a little unfair. I mean, we both know Bianca and if she finds out that you lied to her… she might get angry with you… she must know from now on.
-She’ll know until she’s no longer alive, if I told you it’s so that you can tell her when I’m no longer with her.
-No, I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.
-Eros, please don’t tell her.
-Madam, we are talking about your daughter, if I keep a secret like that, she will hate me and she will never forgive me, she almost didn’t forgive me for the accident, if it wasn’t for what happened to me, she wouldn’t have given me the opportunity to listen to me. What’s more, I think it’s better for Lucio to know right away.
Bianca’s mother snatches the cell phone from my hands and warns me that I shouldn’t say anything or I would regret it.
-Of course I will regret it, ma’am, can’t you see that your daughter will never forgive me if I hide one more secret from her.
-Listen to me, she must not find out that I deceived her about her father, do you understand?
-What? -We both looked towards the entrance. We were bewildered to see Bianca -You lied to me mom?
