Chapter 8: But I mind

Jay followed Mia out. He wanted her attention.

"Mia, even if you don't want to eat with me, I can understand",

'After all, I'm very handsome. I'm a celebrity too'

" Just buy me dinner", he told her.

Mia turned to him and said, "Get out. I don't want to be in a scandal with you",

Jay smiled.

" Don't worry. I wouldn't mind being in a scandal with you ", he told her.

'I'm gracious. You can use me to create hype', he thought.

" But I mind", she said.

Jay blinked.

'what's the meaning of that? I'm allowing her to use me to become popular!"

"Why?", rolled out of his mouth.

" It's exhausting", Mia replied immediately.

A vein popped in Jay's head in anger.

Women are dying for an opportunity to create hype with him.

He scoffed.

"Mia, can you please stop playing hard to get?", he asked.

The thought of it made her excited. She had finally discovered something she could blackmail him with. She took a secret picture of the boy."Why did you take his picture? I know he's cute, but do you need to do that?" Dawn asked."You know I'm immune to cute and handsome guys. You know I'm surrounded by them. Look closer. Don't you feel that he looks familiar?" Rosalind asked.Dawn looked closer."Now that I look at it, he looks like... Brother Zenith!" Dawn said.Rosalind smiled. She couldn't get any luckier today.

    Chapter 12 - Bad guys are usually good lookingRosalind was annoyed. That brother from the gutter is really not curious to find out about what she knew. He didn't call her once or send her a text message. She took out her phone and sent him a voice note."Hahaha brother. I am going to tell the whole world. I found your secret baby mama and your child. Come to think of it, you have good genes. The boy even looks a lot like you. Ma and Pa will surely like this news, right? Beg me and I will not tell them anything. I even have evidence. If you send me money, I will not send it to Ma and Pa."And she sent the pictures she took to him. She smiled to herself. "I'm sure he will panic and send me money. Haha!"She saw a message from Ethan. "Future Hubby - Sorry, Rosa. I'm so busy at the prosecution office here. I will see you soon."Rosalind sighed. He is always busy. It's not as if he is the only prosecutor around.

    "Hey everyone, I have something to show you," Rosalind said.Zenith understood what she was trying to do. She wanted to threaten him. She whispered to him, "Brother, how much are you willing to pay for me to keep quiet?"Zenith ignored her and said, "I may be bringing my son home soon."Rosalind was furious. How dare he spoil her plans like this? She decided to take control and explained everything to the family."Let's see the picture," Ma Comfort Baxtar said reassuringly.Rosalind opened her phone and quickly showed the entire family a picture of Chris."I'm certain he is a Baxtar," Pa Zack Baxtar said. "Look at his nose, jawline, and chin. He is undoubtedly a Baxtar. Just bring him home.""Wow! I can't believe I now have a grandson. Just bring him home!" Reina Baxtar exclaimed."Zenith, when are you bringing him home? Why are you so slow? You didn't even take after me," Frank Baxtar complained."Calm down. I still need a DNA test to confirm.

    For two days, Yanis could only watch Dorathy play with her phone. Dorathy wasn't playing hard to get, but she knew they weren't in the same league. She didn't want to have unrealistic expectations."I didn't want to leave, but I have to go back to work. Don't worry, I'll visit you another time. Don't miss me too much, okay?" he told her."Why would I miss you?" she asked."You must have gotten used to my charming face. I'm sure you won't want to see the faces of your other suitors again," he sighed."You've stared at my handsome face so much that your standards have become high," he added.Dorathy scoffed, thinking he was so full of himself."I paid your director a lot. I'm sure he'll give you a lot of money. After all, I'm generous. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm less busy to show my gratitude," he told her."You don't need to show gratitude to me. It's my duty as a nurse," she said.Yanis laughed."Come on, don't be so formal. We'll soon be boyfriend and girlfriend," he told her.

    Zenith was feeling really down. He couldn't believe he hadn't even gotten a chance to participate in a competition before losing. He got home and ignored everyone in the living room, walking straight to his room."What's wrong? I thought the DNA results would be out today," Comfort Baxtar said."Isn't the boy a Baxtar? Something must be wrong," Pa Baxtar said.Reina sighed. "What a pity! I've been longing for a grandson."Frank tried to console them. "It's fine. Let's just arrange blind dates for him.""I know a few nice ladies. If Zenith agrees, I can introduce them to him," Comfort Baxtar suggested.Rosalind was the only one who felt that something wasn't right. None of these people knew that Zenith didn't want a son. All he needed was a woman.Scarlett sent a text to Zander.Scarlett: "Accompany me to eat."Zander: "Okay."Seeing that he replied to her message promptly, she was happy.

    Zenith couldn't believe she had hung up on him. He didn't dial the number again. Her voice was so soothing, so ethereal. Only if she hadn't gotten together with someone else. He didn't want to look petty, chasing after a woman who was taken. He wouldn't like it if someone else chased after his woman. He sighed. Maybe they weren't really fated.Yanis walked into the house and saw his mother talking to a woman. "I'm home," Yanis said. A young lady was sitting beside the older visitor. "Such a filial son. Most young men these days no longer live with their parents," the older lady said. Madam Quinn smiled. "Come here, Yanis. Meet your aunt. She is my friend, Madam Stanley," she said."Oh! Hello, aunty," Yanis said and prepared to walk to his room. Madam Quinn said, "Wait, I know you're tired, but you should be polite," she said. "This is Aunt Stanley's daughter, Maggie.""Oh! Nice to meet you, Miss Stanley," Yanis said. "What do you think of Maggie? Don't you think she is pretty, gorgeou

    Rosa dropped hints, and she knew Zenith would catch on. "That guy is not a straight guy? Does this mean he is gay?" Zenith asked carefully. Rosa kept quiet, and Zenith took it as a positive answer. Everyone at the table was shocked."What are you saying, Zenith?" Reina just couldn't believe it. "Rosa, what are you implying? This is the man you are about to get married to. Don't say nonsense," she said. To her, Ethan is already a perfect son. She finds it hard to believe that he is into homosexuality. "There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.""I saw him with his gay partner. I witnessed that jerk cheating on me with a man!" Rosa almost yelled but controlled herself. She would only yell if she still cared about him. She wouldn't care about him again. She is going to forget about him."If he knows he is into guys, why did he date you? He even proposed to you. How can he... Your marriage is even near..." Frank couldn't think of the possibility that Ethan is usin

She wished she could wake up from this terrible nightmare and find that it is all a dream. Rosa was brought up as an elite, a young lady of the upper class.

How can this happen to her?As Rosa got down from the cab and walked into the house, she looked down, but she has not shed any tears. She wondered if she had been so impatient. Could it be a trick?

    "They watched as everybody discussed without involving them. After a while, Mr. Gordon finally said, 'What do you think, Joyce? You're not getting younger. Let's hold the wedding this year? What do you say?' Finally, someone is seeking their opinion."I think there is a misunderstanding here. Jerry and I are not what you think," Joyce told them. "What? This jerk refused to take responsibility?" Jerry's father asked."Responsibility for what?" Joyce wondered. "While the luncheon is on, the both of you sneaked out of the party. Do not be ashamed; it's youthful hormones," Grandpa Lloyd said. "Or are you trying to get pregnant before the wedding? That's a nice idea too," he said."No one's getting married. I don't even know Jerry until today. I have been hearing of the Gordons and that their heir is remarkable, but I don't know him. He had too much to drink, so I offered my bed to him. He only slept while I browsed through my phone.Really, that's what happen

However, he couldn't shake off the feeling of being an outsider in this world of high society."Jerry, this is Mr. Smith, one of our old family friends," his father said, introducing him to an older gentleman dressed in an expensive suit."Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith," Jerry said, offering a handshake."Ah, you must be Jerry Gordon, the young doctor. Your father talks very highly of you," Mr. Smith replied with a smile.Jerry nodded and forced a smile.

Three weeks is a lot."Oh... OK," she said.Zander stopped. "Why? Will you miss me? Is that why you are sad?"Scarlett huffed. "Who said I'm sad?

    "Rosa, let's get married," he told her. Rosa's eyes widened. Is she having an ear problem now? What is it that she just heard? "What?" she asked."I know I've not been really good to you. I know I'm not really worthy of you. After all, you are the princess of the Baxtar clan. But still, I hope you could give me a chance to take responsibility for you all my life," he paused and brought out a small box from his inner pocket."Marry me, Rosalind," he told her as he opened the box. In the box was a diamond ring.The diamond on the ring was big. Rosa couldn't explain her feelings at the moment. She thought he wanted to break up with her. She thought everything was ending today. Who knew it was just starting? She was simply short of words. She didn't know what to say."Say something, Rosa," Ethan urged her. He looked anxious. He looked as if her response matters a lot to him.

    Dora woke up and walked out of her room, rubbing her eyes. She wondered if Yanis had left, but when she saw him sprawled on the sofa, working on his laptop, she knew he was still there."You're awake?" he asked, turning to look at her."Hun, I'm sorry I slept off," she told him.Yanis shook his head. "You don't have to apologize. Go dress up. Let's eat out. I will take you to a fancy restaurant. It will be so romantic," he said."Hurry," he told her.Dora nodded and walked back into her room. She searched her tiny closet and finally put on a simple gown."You look so good in a gown," he told her."I know," she replied."Hope you haven't booked any restaurant?" Dora asked him."I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in eating in a five or seven-star restaurant. Street food will always be the best. Let's try as many street foods as we can today," she told him, her face sparkling."What?" Yanis didn't know if he heard it
