Review

"Marry me Mel, I'm begging"

"Marry me Carmela, I'm begging"

"I won't. Never"

"Well you have two choices, either marry me nor you'll die"

Carmela's POV

"I think I'll prefer death" I said before taking Ethan to put him to sleep, my poor baby needs some rest after such long stressful day

"Where's our room?"

"Lily" he called and one of his maid rushed to us, bowing her head in submission.

"Take her to their room"

She nod and smiled at me and guilded our way upstairs, we're making our way to the guestroom when she spoke, "I've been working here for decades and I watched that young man become self-centered billionaire, but once he value something or someone he will go beyond limits to keep it safe" she sounded like British, I bet she is

"I'm afraid"

"for what?"

"Myself" I mumbled before saying goodnight to her and closing the door. How could i marry the man who taught that giving part of myself will shatter me in the end like it did

"Maybe taking good nap can help me think keener tommorow" I sighed and laid on the mattress with Ethan who's already playing in his dreamland

                            ~~••|||••~~
The next morning I woke up by an annoying alarm, I bathed my energetic baby before doing my personal morning routine and going out for breakfast, I wore my silky robe before going downstairs

There I saw Theodore talking to some man, he didn't noticed me until Ethan called him papa and his attention diverted to us.

"There she is" he smiled, I can sense something is wrong here by the way he behave, instead of expressing my confusion I hid it and will act like I didn't sensed anything

"Darling" he rushed to me, lifting my hand and slipped a ring on my finger without the man noticing

"What're you doing"

"Just wear this, everything's gonna be fine" he whispered before encircling his arms around my waist, "Darling I want you to meet our lawyer, Mr. Elliot Kingston"

"Pleasure to meet you Miss-

"Bellucci. Carmela Bellucci" I hid a glare for Theo with a smile because he squeezed my waist

"Miss Bellucci soon to be Mrs. Reid, you're gorgeous just how Mr. Reid described"

I couldn't do anything but nod to what he's saying so that he won't think I'm rude, "wait....are you two—

"We're engaged" Theo announced, intertwining our fingers but made sure he sees our ring, his doubtful reaction changed with a smile when he finally saw it

"Great then you may now sign here, miss"

My heart begin beating fast, I'm nervous and Theo seemed noticed because he pulled me closer and toke his son before whispering something in my ear, "everything's fine, I'll talk to you after this" he then pulled a chair before making me sit

There's already visible signature above his name when I glanced at the paper, it stole my attention tho

I'm pretending to read contract because I'm talking to myself right now and my subconscious mind says when I putted my sign I'll be Mrs. Reid, God only knows until when shall i the bear the surname of a man I don't love and I know what kind of husband he will be
