He is Christian Reigns
Mandy
“We are talking about the baby?” Mrs. Reigns said lowly, while I was taken aback.
“The baby?” I paused.
“What do you have to do with the baby?” My voice was coarse, but I held my head high staring at them.
“It’s our grandchild,” she rushed to say.
“Excuse me,” I said in a loud tone, but the knock on the door stopped my next outburst…Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“Come in,” I said, releasing a sigh…
Immediately the stand-in assistant walks in with a tray of coffee. She carefully served the three of us, noticing the tense air, and quickly left with the tray.
“Thank you,” Mrs. Reigns said and took a sip from it.
“You said, that my child is your grandchild and you lost me there because I don’t remember that happening at all,” I said
“Christian’s our son? Or is he not the father?”
“Did he lie to us, my love?” She directed the question to Mr. Reigns
“I don’t think so, Aiden said they were in a relationship already.” He responded looking back at her.
“Excuse me, am I hearing wrongly or you’re just mistaken? Is Chris as in Christian your son?” I said as if I was insane when I saw her nod.
“My secretary, the tall one? Chris is your son. You mean to say he is Christian Reigns?” My words came out slowly as my voice was coarse.
“Yes, he is. We wanted to make an offer to you Mandy,” he continued ignoring the surprise face I held.
“We wanted to offer you a little token for you to keep the baby,” she brought out an envelope which, if I guessed correctly, had a check in it.
“Mandy I know it feels like we are intruding and yes we are, but this child you carry is the heir to Reign’s empire and all we’ve wanted for a really long time,” they explained…
“I heard you and Chris had a little crisis but I hope you all settle that quickly and move on with preparation for being a part of our family,”
“Your family? A token? You’re trying to buy me with money? Your supposed grandchild with money? Heir to your empire? And if it is a girl? What happens then, you dispose of her as you no longer find her suitable to rule the reigns empire?” I rushed my words, pinching myself to prevent my outrageous outburst.
“She’s going to rule the empire, just like you’re doing with yours,” Mrs. Reigns added, and Mr. Reigns nodded in agreement.
I felt myself lose my breath, the words they just said now were all I wanted to hear from my parents, Now hearing it from a stranger made me feel fly. It made me happy and sad at the same time, A tear gushed out of my eyes and I licked my lower lip nodding my head while fighting the tears from rolling down my cheeks.
“Well you can’t buy me, the Reigns family can’t. Chris lied to me before and now he’s lied again, about his identity,” I paused while she tried to comfort me but I stood up from where I sat.
“I did plan to get rid of this child, but right now I have a change of heart. Not because of what you’ve said but because this child has no one to trust but me, and yes she or he would rule better than me,” I said and walked back to my seat ignoring them.
“Please Mandy, don’t take this to heart. We are doing what’s best for everyone here,”
“No you and your son are doing what’s best for you, and I don’t want to be a part of it,” I said and pushed my hands in the air…
“You are already, and you won’t run away for so long. So please listen to us,” he said…
“No you listen to me, I don’t want to be bought by you. Or part of this. Thank you and please take your token with you as you leave,” I pointed the door at them, sniffing in…
“We are sorry Mandy,” Mrs. Reigns said…
“Oh my gosh,” I burst out in tears the moment they left my office, I felt my heart shattered. The pain I felt made me want to cry out so loud.
“He lied to me, everything was just a facade to get me to like him. Was that night also planned, did he plan all of this,”
“Mandy,” I heard his voice, it was as if he was yelling my name. I quickly dried my eyes as much as I could. The door opened wide and Christian ran inside my office, with Hannah the stand-in running in chasing after him.
“Please I just want to talk to her,” he said when she stood in front of him trying to stop him from going any further…
“Just let him in,” I said slowly, and she bowed a little before leaving…
“Mandy, I have no idea my parents are going to come here, I’m really sorry that they came in here,” he said and rushed to where I stood and tried to comfort me but I pulled away…
“You lied to me again? Are you Chris Tate or you’re Christian Reigns,” I question immediately moving away from him.
“They are my name, and I apologize for lying but I couldn’t walk up to you and just introduce myself to you as Christian Reigns,” he said calmly, staring at me with the car in his eyes.
“And why is that Christian? Why couldn’t you,”
“Because you had a reputation of being very tough,”
“So you were scared to introduce yourself to me cause my reputation does not fit the class of women who bow to you ”
“No Mandy, I wanted to get to know you, without the fame and money,” he said while I scoffed.
“Pretty funny, you wanted to get to know me at the club when you planted your seeds in me, huh?” I yelled now frustrated
“Your parents walked into my office, offering to buy me because of your game and money. Not everyone is as rich as the reins but everyone has their dignity and they tried to buy that,” I poured out at him, hitting his chest frustrated.
“I’m sorry about that, trust me when I say I had no hand in it.”
“Trust? Trust you? Trust who?” I scoffed…
“I have nothing more to say to you Christian, and nothing else to do with you. So you might as well get out of my life,”
“Don’t make this harder than it already is. We have both connected, you can’t ignore that. Let’s talk this through, okay? Let me explain myself,” he said to me, holding my hands, but I turned my face the other way, not looking in his direction.
“Leave Chris, get out of my office,” I whisper, biting my lips to stop me from crying…
