Chapter 2 Pregnancy
Chapter 2 Pregnancy
Sofia POV
Chevy curtly ran up to Natasha and said, "Dont worry, Sofia is a very understanding child, she will not
upset you."
In fact, I knew that Chevy didnt owe $5 million in gambling debts at all, and that he had set aside a
million for Natasha and Tom!
He found my sacrifice very meaningful, both in helping him pay off his gambling debt and in helping him
pay for a good life ahead.
I was disappointed in him to the core.
When we got home from dinner, Natasha observed every room in the house, frowned and said, "This
house is so shabby! Chevy, I cant believe you let Tom and I live in such a shabby house! Im not used to
it! And there are only two rooms here, where are we going to stay?"
There were obviously four people here, but she completely ignored me. I sat on the corner with my
school bag, like this house was never my home.
Natasha came up next to me and smiled, "Youre the older sister, you should know you have to give
way to Tom, right? I have an idea. Your father and I will pay for a couch for you. You sleep on the couch
and leave your room to Tom. deal?"
She said this without even considering my opinion, just informing me.
I could only say helplessly, "Okay."
Natasha smiled with satisfaction. She turned around and dragged Tom and Chevy into the room and
closed the door behind her. I could occasionally still hear their laughter coming from inside the room.
Natasha said, "Why dont we buy a new house? If this house is so dilapidated, we can leave it to Sofia.
Shes going to get married sooner or later anyway!"
I think I heard Chevy agree to her request.
This home didnt give me any warmth.
I slept in the chair all night and went out the next day with my school bag. I had actually gotten used to
such a day. For 18 years, Chevy either asked me for money to gamble or for living expenses. Its a
miracle that I havent broken down after such a life!
My father was really ridiculous at times! If it wasnt for Chevys lack of money before, Im afraid he would
have abandoned me as his daughter.
One month later.
Ive been vomiting a lot lately, and I spent half an hour in the bathroom at dinner.
Chevy didnt notice my condition at first, and it wasnt until I was back at the table that he said, falsely,
"Sofi, are you sick? Is it bad digestion?"
Natasha was beside herself with indifference.
From the moment she moved into the house, she thought I was a whore who made money off of man-
fucking. Having sold my body since I was eighteen, shes always thought I was a disgusting bitch.
I shook my head. The feeling of wanting to vomit kept lingering in my throat. I was so uncomfortable!
Chevy saw my miserable white face, but his expression gradually became happy.
Damon POV
I was in the presidents office looking at information. My Orion Group is a huge business conglomerate
with assets in the hundreds of billions of dollars. So even though Im the youngest graduate with a
masters degree from Yale, I cant afford to be careless with my work.
After the familiar sound of the phone ringing, I picked up the phone in a cheerful mood.
"Tiffany, how are you doing in France these days?"
"Im fine, Damon, and since Ive been in France, Ive realized that this is the place where I can improve
my skills. I think I need four more years of study before I can go back. Youll be waiting for me, wont
you?" Tiffanys voice was sweet and pleasant.
"Ill still love you even if you dont study, Tiffany, and Ill wait for you whether you have your own career or
not. Since its your choice, Ill choose to respect it."
We chatted intimately for ten minutes before hanging up the phone.
Thats when my secretary knocked on my door, "Sir, Mr. Rittel says he has something important to
discuss with you."
"Important? Which Mr. Rittel?" Damon asked.
"The receptionist said his name was Chevy Rittel, and Mr. Rittel said he didnt want to tell anyone else
about this important matter, so he could only talk to you alone."
I became somewhat interested in this, and it just so happened that I was having a good day, so I
instructed my secretary to call the man in. It didnt take long for a middle-aged man to walk into my
office. He was rubbing his hands together and his face was beaming.
"Mr. Rubinstein," he called me flatteringly, "I know you dont know me, but my daughter, Sofia, Im sure
you know her."
"Who are you? I dont think I know either of you two. If you dont say what you call important, I think you Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
can get out now." I said coldly.
"Well, Mr. Rubinstein. then I will briefly introduce myself. my name is Chevy Rittel. my daughter, Sofia
Rittel, she had a physical transaction with you about a month ago. But now, shes pregnant." Sofia?
Sofia Rittel? Is he referring to the woman I had sex with a month ago? She was pregnant?
My memory faded into the back of my mind. A month had passed since that night, and if it werent for
this man, I would have forgotten about it.
"What do you want?"
That woman is really a bitch, and even her father is a bastard who knows no shame!
"Three million dollars. I think three million dollars is nothing to Mr.Rubinstein who is the president of
Orion Group, right? If you give me the money, I will keep the secret for you. If you dont give me the
money, Ill tell the news media about it!"
"Deal, I can give you three million dollars, but you have to sign an agreement with me. If you still use
this to blackmail me, I wont give you another cent. Also, she has to get an abortion, I dont want a
whore having my baby!"
My good mood was completely gone. Their disgusting faces disgusted me from the inside!
"Fine! If you pay me, I promise that nothing about you will come out of my mouth!"
I pulled out a check and wrote down the numbers and handed it to him. A smile instantly appeared on
his wrinkled face and he happily thanked and praised me. I was impatient at this.
"Sign the agreement and youre out of here!"
"Yes! I know."
Chevy kept nodding his head. After signing the agreement he pulled the door open and headed out,
only to run into a middle-aged woman dressed in regal clothes. Her hair was in a high bun and she had
a Swiss watch worth a lot of money on her hand.
"Sorry, I didnt mean to ...... ah!"
"What you just said is true?"
"Uh, I dont know what youre talking about. I just happened to be passing by and I think I took a wrong
turn." Chevy lied.
"Lets talk inside, you have to explain things to me!"
"Mom, what are you doing here? Didnt you say you were going shopping today?"
"Damon, what did you mean by what you just said? Why did you give him a check for three million
dollars? What did you do?"
"Its not an important thing, you dont have to care." I said to her.
"Not an important thing? I clearly heard you say that you let her daughter have an abortion and you
gave him a check for three million dollars! If you dont explain this to me, Im going to go do my own
investigation!" My mother, Monica Rubinstein, her expression turned serious.
"Mom, its just that ...... its just that I got drunk and then got a woman pregnant. I dont need her to give
me a baby!" There was no longer any way to hide things, so I had to come clean and tell Monica.
"What? Abortion? Did you think that with our familys wealth you couldnt raise a child? I knew I shouldnt
have agreed to you and Tiffany being together from the beginning. If she loved you, why would she run
away to France alone? And shes not fertile! Are you going to make sure that I dont get to see my
grandchildren until I die, and the Rubinstein family wont allow you to do that!
"Mom, I wish you wouldnt always bring up Tiffanys inability to have children. I feel the same pain about
it. But that night was just a mistake, and I dont want a child without love!" I retorted to her.
I dont want to be married to any woman but Tiffany!
"Thats enough! I dont want you to keep making mistakes. I can agree if you want to marry Tiffany, but
you have to keep this child! Otherwise, I wont agree to your marriage."
"Mom, I cant do this ......"
"I asked Tiffany about this and she agreed for you to get a surrogate!"
My emotions started to fluctuate, "Mom! Dont lie to me! Theres no way Tiffany would agree to such a
condition!"
"If you dont believe me you can call and ask her."
Chevy, who was standing by, watched us argue and tried to slip away, but Monica shouted, "Youre not
leaving! The Rubinstein children cannot suffer in your home!"
Then she turned to me and said, "Im going to give you two choices in this matter. Choose to keep the
baby and marry Tiffany, or break up with Tiffany after that girl has an abortion. Thats the biggest
concession I can make!"
Sofia POV
As I headed out the front door after school at noon, I noticed a black car parked outside the school and
several men dressed in black standing next to it.
I kept my head down and tried to cross the men, but they called out, "Are you Sofia Rittel?"
How did they know my name?
I nodded in surprise, and then the next second I was dragged into the limo by men dressed in black.
I struggled and screamed in terror, "Who are you? Let go of me! Let go of me!"
