He paused in his tracks.
"I'll give you 2 million monthly. Once you get pregnant and give birth to the child, I will make it 3 million per month," he offered, raising an eyebrow.
Upon hearing this, I fell silent.
His generous offer left me thunderstruck.
I was after wealth.
Although I was from the Bernard family, I was hurting for money.
Damon was a tightwad and he never gave me allowance.
"Deal. The agreement takes effect immediately," I responded.
That night, Hawkins moved in with me.
I pointed at the guest room and said, "This is your room."
He raised an eyebrow and turned towards the master bedroom.
I kept up to him and blocked his way.
Without a word, he lifted me to his chest.
Caught off guard, I threw my arms around his neck.
"Hawkins, what the hell are you doing? Put me down!" I exclaimed.
He suddenly leaned in. His face was inches away from mine and I could feel his breath.
"Claire, we are legally married. What do you think we should do at this hour?"
I was enchanted by his magnetic voice, but didn't forget my intentions.
"No, I'm not ready!" I responded.
His face fell, but soon he regained his composure. "I'll transfer 3 million to you today."
