Tyler POV
"I want you to give me a grandchild or else I will bequeath the company to Brianna. I have no choice son." my father said seriously while lying on his bed.
I cringed at what he said and looked at Brianna badly.
"Are you out of your mind dad? I'm your only son and Brianna is just my younger sister" I told her seriously.
What went through his mind to bequeath the company to my sister? What the hell is he thinking of asking me for a grandchild? He already knows I don't have any interest in women. It's a waste of time and besides I can be a better man without a woman in my life.I can't imagine myself wasting time with anyone except if it's for the sake of money and victory.
My name's Tyler Jackson but can be called as "Tyler" a son of a billionaire here in Canada.I am 38 years old while my father was already in his senior age.He has a stage 4 cancer and he already laid on bed for months while waiting for the day he will die.We found out about his illness late because he was too busy of his business.
"I know I won't last long in this world son.I just want you to have your own child to inherit my company soon.You are not getting younger"he told me.
I gasped at what my father said. I could not grant his request.
Suddenly, Steven, the husband of my sister Brianna, entered, with their two twin children, Kent and Brent.
The two children immediately ran to my father to kiss.I saw how happy my father was to see the two children.I saw Steven look at me arrogantly. I knew beforehand His intentions towards our family and we never got along on things.
“What’s running through this man’s mind?” I said to myself.
"How are you feeling dad?" Steven asked my dad.
I don't know why my blood is really boiling with this man. I know he just wants to impress my father. He just wants to win Daddy's heart.
"I'm okay Steve,it's good that you're still asking me that while my son Tyler doesn't seem to care about me"my father replied.
I just rolled my eyes.Its a bullshit comparison.I Immediately left the room to calm myself.
When I went downstairs, I saw our helpers gossiping next to me.So I immediately picked them up.
"Did you really gossip during work hours ?!" I said in a high tone of my voice.
They bowed down and separated from each other.
"I'm sorry sir Tyler, we just talked for a while" an assistant apologized.
I frowned and called Craig.Craig is a Driver and has also been my best buddy for a few years. He is the only one who understands my evil side.
"Craig!" I called him.
I saw him hurrying down the stairs. Craig is two years older than me, He is 40 years old and married.He has three children.
"What's that sir?" Craig asked with a smile.
"Let's go, drive me to the city" I answered seriously.
I saw that he was very scratchy in his hair and followed me out of the mansion.
I immediately got in the back of the car and leaned on the couch. I was under a lot of mental stress. How can I give what my father asks of me.Craig immediately noticed it.
"Sir, do you have any problem?" Craig asked me and I saw him looking at me in the front mirror of the car.
"What do you think?" I asked back to him.
"It's obvious sir, what is it? Maybe I can help you, ``a smiling Craig replied.
I sighed and told him my big problem.
"Dad wants me to give him a grandchild" I said seriously.
"Oh I see and your father was right. You're not getting younger so there's nothing wrong with having a child sir" Craig replied.
"But I don't want to have a wife!" I said angrily to Craig.
"Sir, Calm down. You don't need a wife to have children. All you need is a woman who can be the mother" Craig replied, smiling.
"Are you serious? I know all women, when they give birth,they fall in love and chase." I asked him emphatically.
"Sir Tyler,that's not what you think. I think I can help you with that sir, ``a smiling Craig said.
"How? Tell me now Craig" I desperately asked.
I am desperate to give my father what he asks for In exchange for the wealth that he will bequeath to me as his only son. I saw Craig smiling in the side mirror.I became curious about what he said.
"I know a woman who can help you sir Tyler" Craig replied.
"That's great but wait, I want an agreement" I told him.
"What agreement sir?" Tyler asked me.
"I just want a child.I don't want any attachment with her" I told her.
Craig suddenly laughed and I frowned because there was nothing funny in what I said. I'm damn serious.
"Why are you laughing?" I asked irritably.
"Because I can't imagine that woman being attached to any man even to you sir Tyler.She is tough and only looks after money" Craig replied.
I was surprised by what he said and intrigued by the woman he was referring to.
We stopped in front of a bar and Craig and I got out of the car. I glanced at the sign board above. Dañers Bar is written on the board.The entrance is a bit small but when you enter it is wide and there are a lot of people.There are women dancing in front and men sitting while drinking Liquors.
I frowned when two women with thick eyebrows, round eyes and white faces smiled at me.
"Why are we here?" I asked.
I’m not comfortable in the Place because I’m not fond of so many people.I smell Liquors and cigarettes and deafening ringing.Craig continued to walk and he approached a woman and whispered. I approached so that I could clear the face of the woman he was talking to.I saw her looking at me.She looked at me with a seductive look and I frowned.
I saw her laugh a little.She has blonde hair,a pointed nose, great eye lashes and flair complexion.She's wearing those big earrings but still I'm not interested in women.I just need her if she can help me. I saw her smoking while pouring wine into the glass.She acted like a bad girl so I was intrigued to approach her.
Craig signaled for me to approach the women before he went outside.
I felt nervous because this is the first time I will approach a woman. I have no choice.I need to do this for my father so that I can inherit the company.
"Hi!" I said sparingly.
"Hi, have a seat,"she said, smiling.
She poured the wine into the glass and offered it to me.
"Let's drink," she said, smiling.
I drank and looked at her again.
“You know I have no time to chill.Okay? I think you already know what I wanted. Did Craig tell you about it? "I asked seriously.
"Calm down boy,"she replied, smiling.
"Remember, I only need a child and nothing less.No attachment at all" I said seriously.She suddenly Laughed and looked at me.
"I know and who cares about that fucking attachment!"she said emphatically with a sarcastic smile.
"So do you agree with that?" I asked seriously.
"Of Course but how much can you offer me?"she asked, smiling.
Craig is right,this woman looks like money but she'd better be like that so I can make sure I don't have any problem.We both want money and it's perfect.
"How much do you want?" I returned the question to her.
She was silent for a moment and poured the wine back into her glass then drank and blew a cigarette smoke.
"Kidney Transplant"she replied.
I was surprised by what she said and looked at her but she could not look at me.What? Does she have kidney disease? How will she conceive my child? Fuck!
"What?!Are you sick?How are you going to get pregnant?!" I said emphatically.
"I'm not playing with you woman"I added.
"It's my mother.She has a kidney disease. I want to save her life,"she said seriously.
I could tell that she wanted to cry but she was so stubborn to look at me.I didn't think with the hardness of this woman, she had a soft heart for her mother. Kidney transplant was so very expensive. It will cost millions and not yet sure If the operation will be successful.What the hell is she thinking? She must think herself first.We will all die.Why else would she insist? I'm doing this for my Father's money and property but will she do this to prolong her Mother's life? What the hell?
"So what now?Deal?"She asked me with a smile.
"Uhmm"I was confused.
She brought her face close to mine.I could smell her breath since only a centimeter between our lips.Suddenly my ear warmed at what she did.
TYLER POV 2"You won't regret,"she whispered.I felt a hot sensation that I could not explain when she whispered in my ear. This woman was so seductive.Suddenly a strong man approached her."Hey Veronica! Are you free tonight?"the smiling man asked her.I saw the man smile and look at me arrogantly."Not now John" Veronica replied smiling and looked at me with a sticky look."So what now? Do you agree with that? Please don't waste my time, boy" she said.I gasped and I smiled at the woman in front of me.She didn't seem to know who she was talking to but nevermind.
TYLER POV 3 "Ohh fuck! What are you doing?!"I asked and frowned.I can't even look at her beautiful and perfect body. I don't know how to react because at the age of 38 years old I never experienced seeing a naked woman in front of me and have sex.My life was very busy to help my father in the company. All my life I have focused on my achievements. All my life I had no other choice but to prove myself to my Father.But fuck,she's really good at making my manhood hard. I need to divert my attention and remain tough in front of her.The name, reputation and wealth of our family are all that I wanted.I have never set aside time for dating or courting a woman so I also don’t know what the right thing to do.I couldn't stop myself so I told her the truth that I have no experience in such a thing.&n
Tyler POV 4 "Glad you’re here now,” he said seriously. I wanted to step back as he faced me and my hands seemed to sweat profusely because of the nervousness I was feeling at those times. I saw Steven smiling so I frowned and anger built up inside me. I knew he did something with what was happening to me right now. I was surprised when my father smiled at me and spoke. It is the first time I saw him smiling like that. "I heard you're having an affair with a woman. Is she your girlfriend, son?" he asked with a smile. I didn't know what to answer because I saw him smile like that for the first time. &
TYLER POV 5 I saw how Veronica supported her mother as she lay down on the bed.Her mother was obviously really hard to get up. I couldn't help but feel sorry for their situation because I could clearly see her taking care of her sick mother. I just gasped because I didn’t know how I was going to start talking to Veronica and if she would agree to what I would ask from her. “Sir!” the boy called me. I was surprised when the young boy called me and Veronica immediately turned to where I was standing and was obviously surprised to see me. "Tyler ?!"she said incredulously. “Do you know him?”the boy asked her.
VERONICA POV"It's good that you've arrived, aunt" I said to my aunt with a smile."I'm sorry Nicky if I took so long. Our conversation with Roman took so long since I haven't been able to visit him for a few months,"she replied.Uncle Roman has been imprisoned for several years for a crime he did not commit.He was accused of stealing from the company he worked for and because of the hardships of life, we did nothing to fight against his case."It's okay Aunt.Anyway, I'm leaving now because I might be late at work" I said goodbye to her."Mom, I'm going to work now. Aunt Mercy will take care of you first" I said goodbye to my mother and kissed her cheek before I left the house.
TYLER POV 6I brought my face close to her and she also did the same thing to me but suddenly we stopped when there was a sudden knock on the door.“Do you have expected guests?”she asked me curiously.I just looked at her and felt a little bit confused.My phone suddenly rang and I saw Craig calling me.I can't explain the nervousness I felt at those times.Veronica immediately walked towards the door then I answered Craig's call."Hello Sir, have you received the flower yet?"he asked me."Flowers? What do you mean Craig?" I asked.When I looked back at Veronica she was carrying a large bouquet of flowers.I was shocked to see it and frowned.I immediately confronted Craig about it. 
Veronica POV 2 I was restless while waiting outside the operating room. I just held both of my hands while praying that my mother's operation would go well. "Lord, please don't leave my mother," I said tearfully while closing my eyes. Just a few moments later, a nurse came out of a room and was obviously in a hurry to run into the operating room.I immediately stood up and asked.I can't explain the nervousness I felt at those times. "Nurse, what happened?" I answered confused. "There was a complication in the operation. The patient's heartbeat increased. I need to go now madam" replied the nurse and hurried to run. I immediately ran to the operating room but the whole w
Veronica POV 3“What is this?” I curiously asked him as he handed me a key."You need to stay in the condo. We need to be careful because I know Steven will still doubt us" he replied seriously.I was surprised by what he said because I can't afford to leave my mother since Aunt Mercy often leaves to sell goods in town. But I was also surprised when she said that Aunt Mercy doesn't need to sell anymore because he will pay her to watch over my mother.I can't believe what I heard from him because he already gives me too much just to help him with his plans. I confronted him about it because I don't seem to agree with what he said."You shouldn't be doing that thing anymore because I don't want to get to the point w
AUTHOR'S POVShe was very happy to see Tyler again. But Tyler felt the opposite at that time. He thought it was too late to complete his family because he thought Veronica and her ex boyfriend,John had gotten back together.He even threw the flower he brought outside out of frustration before entering inside."Tyler?" John uttered in disbelief."Daddy!!" the boy quickly ran towards him."It's been a month since you left and came back to Canada. Why are you here? Is it another business trip?" Veronica asked, stuttering."Uhmm,Yeah.I just passed by because I just thought of visiting Veirn.I missed him too much,"he lied.John's phone suddenly rang because his girlfriend was calling.He immediately said goodbye to them and Tyler was surprised when he heard that John had a girlfriend. They looked at each other for a while and John smiled at him before leaving the mansion. He couldn't explain the joy he felt when his thoughts were probably wrong. He approached Veronica while they looked at ea
VERONICA POV 54It's been a week since Tyler left the mansion. I have to admit that I missed him and I felt sad when he left. Veirn is also always looking for him and I just say that his dad is at work.Veirn became lethargic while waiting for his father and I felt sorry for my son. There are times when I just want to call John so he can visit Veirn even though we're broke up. But I'm a coward because I don't want him to think I'm chasing him.I'm not the kind of woman who will beg for him to stay with me. I don't want to force him to come back because I'm okay with not having a boyfriend or a husband.I'm just really worried about my son because I don't want to see him lethargic and sad because he's not even his two daddies visiting.At least one of them."Why are you sad, son?" I asked softly. "I feel like I'm alone, Mom. I miss my daddy so much," he answered sadly. "Which daddy do you miss?" I asked. "Daddy Tyler," his pouty face answered me. I held my breath at what he said. I know i
TYLER POV 76I couldn't stop myself and I punched the man.Ana came between the two of us to stop us. The man fell to the floor and I attacked again but we both stopped when we heard the loud voice of Mr. Gonzales behind us."What's going on here?!"he asked angrily."Your daughter cheated on me! My two eyes could clearly see them kissing," I said angrily."Is what he said true, Ana?!" Mr. Gonzales asked firmly and frowned.She couldn't answer right away and she only responded by crying at those times. so I'm annoyed by what she's showing. Why does it seem like she's the victim here?"Tell us the truth, Ana. Tell me!" I told her angrily."I'll say it, Bro. Yes, Ana and I have a relationship and we love each other," the man admitted."I'm really sorry,"she apologized , crying."What nonsense is this, Ana?! Why were you able to betray your husband?!"Me.Gonzales asked firmly."I'm really sorry, Dad. But I think you and Tyler deserve to know the truth,"she said firmly."What do you mean, An
TYLER POV 75 "Be careful in Canada,"she said with a smile.The sadness in her eyes was obvious and I smiled at what she said. I approached her and gently held her shoulder."Thank you so much for taking care of me, Nica. Despite all my sins against you, I know I don't deserve it, but you still chose to take care of me," I smiled at her."Despite your sins, I still can't take away what you did to help my mother. You are the reason why I spent more time with my mother. You are the reason why I extended her life. And if we had not met and you didn't marry me, I won't even know my real father,"she said seriously and smiled at me."I want you to know that despite the pain you caused. I never regretted meeting and loving you,"she added.Those moments between us were emotional. I couldn't stop myself from hugging her tightly. I was so grateful for everything she did for me. She was the first woman I ever liked and loved so much. And I didn't either regretted that.We hugged for a while and s
TYLER POV 74"Where is daddy John, mommy?" Veirn asked.I swallowed my saliva and I was really hurt by what I heard from my son. It hurts so much that John is probably the father he recognizes. I looked at Veronica and she smiled at me sparingly."Son, go to sister Beth first,"she said gently to the child and Veirn run away from us."He was looking for a father then. He always asked me where his daddy was until John came. I had no choice but to introduce him as the father of our son," he explained."I understand.I know i have shortcomings in our being a father so it's okay," I replied, trying to hold back my tears.I smiled while looking at his very cute and handsome face. I saw myself in him when I was young. He got the shape of my face, eyes and nose except for his hair and lips. "Are you really okay?"she asked worriedly. I know that she knows that I was hurt by what I heard from Veirn himself. It is very painful for a father whose son has another recognized father. But I accept th
TYLER POV 73I saw John slap her in the face so I immediately went in to punch him. I threw a punch at him and he was very surprised to see me. We both fought and I didn't let him win even though he was taller than me. My anger was more dominant at that time.But Veronica shouted at me and pushed me away from John. I was so hurt when I saw her hug the man in front of me. John was bloody because of my punch.Even though he is taller than me, I am better at fighting."Stop it!"she shouted."Why are you defending that man? He's hurting you, Veronica!" I said angrily. "You don't care about that! John is my boyfriend so it's normal for us to fight. Can you please stop?!"she said angrily.I was very disappointed that she defended her stupid boyfriend. I also didn't think that John was her boyfriend."If only you would replace me. You should have done it with a sensible man, not an idiot!" I said emphatically."Your face is too thick to dictate what I want. Maybe you forget that you were the
TYLER POV 72She didn't accept my hand and Mr.Chua noticed that. He smiled at he only talked to Mr. Chua even though Mr. Chua insisted on including me in their conversation."Let's talk there, Mr. Chua,"she said with a smile."Okay sure,"Mr.Chua replied, smiling at her."Uhmm, can it be just the two of us talking first, Mr. Chua?"she said gently.Mr. Chua looked at me and I nodded to him.I couldn't do anything but let them talk in the distance.I took a deep breath to calm myself down.I admitted that I was so happy to see Veronica but how can I talk to her?I want to approach her and talk to her so I can apologize for everything I've done. I believe that this is the right time to tell her the truth because I'm going back to Canada next week.And my life is back to normal with Ana and her shameless father.It was also a few moments before the two of them ended their conversation.Mr. Chua approached and invited me home.But I begged that maybe I could stay for a while talk to Veronica."I'm
TYLER POV 71I was very depressed when I found out about Ana's son's condition. We went back and forth for a month to monitor him because of his condition. I feel so sorry for her because she cries every night and blames herself for our son's condition.Our son has Hypoglycemia and he really needs treatment."Don't blame yourself, Ana. You are not to blame for what happened to Joshua. The doctor said he just had an infection but they are doing everything to make sure Joshua will be okay," I said calmly to Ana."Thank you for always being there for me and Baby, Hon,"she thanked me emotionally.I held my breath and hugged her tightly. I caressed her back to ease her mood. I know that she is not allowed to get stressed because it's only been a month since she gave birth.As the months passed, Ana suddenly changed and she became irritable watching over Joshua. I had no choice but to hire a babysitter to watch over Joshua.I couldn't help but compare her to Veronica because they are really
VERONICA POV 53"Your mom!.." Mitch said to me in a panic. "What happened to mom?!" I was confused.Mitch immediately pulled me out of the bathroom and ran to mom's room.When we opened the door, I saw the nurses and doctors trying to revive my mother. I was shocked and my whole body trembled. I couldn't bear to see my mother struggling for life. Tears continued to fall from my eyes.I couldn't bear to see her dying so I left the room and went back to walking. I kept praying that when I came back in, mom would be okay. I sat down on the chair and buried my face in my hands. I cried while praying to God not to take my mom from me."My God, I can't lose my mother yet. I'm begging you," I cried.It was quiet around me for a while until a cold wind touched my skin.My hairs suddenly stood up and that's when my hunch was formed. My feelings were so heavy that I could hardly stand from where I was sitting. The doctor came out and approached me. I took a deep breath to prepare myself to hear
