Chapter 6: They Want a Grandchild

Sydney McCarthney's Point of View

After the arguement happens in the kitchen this morning, I and Zyko never talked to each other. He just left the house peacefully and I don't care if he don't want to go home.

I will be thankful if that happens because my life will be in peace.

Nana Isabelle never ask me about it. Maybe she understood the assignment already.

I was sitting on the rocking chair here in the pool area while relaxing and feel the freshness of the wind that touches on my skin.

Without his presence in this house is very peaceful. There is no negative energy in this house.

"Your mother is here, Syd," I heard Nana Isabelle said from behind.

The smile on my lips faded when I heard the word mother from Nana Isabelle.

"Where is she?" I nonchalantly asked.

"I'm here at your back," My mother replied in a flat tone. "Is that how to you welcome your mother into your house?"

I rolled my eyes because of irration. On the other hand I turned to face her and ask, "What are you doing here at my house, Mom?"

"I am visiting you, Syd."

"I'm not sick either..." I stood up and walked inside the house. "You don't have to visit me because I'm fine."

I turned to face her again and I saw how mad she is. I don't care if she will be mad at me. She can't hurt me in my own house.

"Nana Isabelle, can you leave us for a moment?" I asked Nana Isabelle. "And make her something to eat."

She nodded her head as responsed.

I sat down on the couch here in living room and waited her to sat down also. My mother never failed to amuse me. She always act like a good mother to me when in fact she never be. She never be a good mother to me because she always gets mad. It was her talent though, being mad even I didn't do anything for her to get mad.

"What are you doing here, Mom?" I asked again because I know she's not here to visit me.

She come here because she needs something from me. I know her a lot more than my father know her.

"I want a grandchild," she said that made me speechless.

I was just looking at her while my mouth widely open. I can't utter any words.

What did she just said? She wants what?

"You want what?" I asked again to confirm that I heard it right.

"A grandchild, Sydney. Your father and I are getting older. We want a grandchild— we want to see our grandchild before we died," she monotonous said.

I shook my head while chuckling. "Are you insane, Mom? Omg! You're not in drugs are you?"

They want a grandchild from me? Are they serious? Omg! How can I give a grandchild when I don't want to be a mother.

"I am dead serious, Syd," she said seriously.

I stop chuckling and made my face serious. "No."

"Why? I mean you already have a husband. He is handsome and I know he will be a great father."

I shook my head again to disagree with her statement about my husband.

Zyko will never be a good father because he is an asshole.

"Don't decide my life again because last time, I

I Iet the both of you decide for myself, my life became mesirable." Pain painted on her face when I said those words but I never regret it.

"I'm not ready to be a mother— to bear a child because I know I can't be a good mother..."

"Syd—"

I turned my back on her. "My decision is already final, Mom. No one can change it. And if you have nothing to say, just leave my house."

After I said those words, I already left her in the living room. I went to the second where my room is located.

I know myself more than they know me. I can't let my child to have a family like this. I don't want my future kids to feel what I feel right now. I want the best for my kids. One of the reason also that I am not going to bear a child because I still have a plan to pursue my dream.

Besides, Zyko doesn't want to have a child with me. We both hate each other, we stay is this relationship because of our business.

I know I'm a little bit harsh to my mother— she doesn't deserve it but I was hurt when they make a decision for my life. I thought their hate towards me won't lead to this situation. But I was wrong they turned my dreams into nothing.

I want to be a model, a highest paid model but they don't let me. They become the hindrance— they're againts me and my dreams.

I let out a sigh as read the magazine I was holding right now. I saw my idol again, they are very gorgeous and elegant with the brand they've model.

How I wish I will become one of them but it's really impossible to be one of them. I know Zyko is also againts with my plan. He will never support me because he hates me.

"Everytime I enter this room, I always see your problematic face."

I did not noticed that Zyko is already home because my brain was too pre-occupied.

"I thought you're not coming home," I said and put the magazine on the beside table.

"This is my house also," he replied while putting the suitcase on the bed. "Besides It's up to me if I'm going home or not. It's none of your business."

And with that I just shut my mouth and never talked back again. He is right, is none of my business anymore if he's going home or not.

I turned my gaze away from his as he started to unbotton his suit. My face started to heat up when I saw on my peripheral vision that he is looking at me. He is teasing me as if I am being seduced with those looks.

I cleared my throat. "I will just tell Nana Isabelle to cook a dinner for you."

"I'm not going to eat here," he said.

I nodded my head and said, "Okay, enjoy."

I never didn't ask even I wanted to ask him where he was going.

"You're not going to ask me where I was going? Who's coming with me" he suddenly asked in a flat tone.

"I'm not interested. You can go anywhere you want. It's your life and you said earlier that its not my business anymore." I gave him a smile to assure him that I'm not against with his freedom. "But don't make stupid things that will make me hate you even more."

"What if I will, what will you do?" he asked.

I shrugged my shoulder. "We didn't know. It's either you will find another wife or I will kill you."

"Are you threatening me?" His eyes narrowed while asking me.

I shrugged my shoulder again. "If you're threatened then its not my problem anymore."

A line appeared between his brows but his reaction change. An evil smile formed on lips. "Then I must start making your life more mesirable."
