Chapter 15
*Recap*
I sit in bed and snack while watching Doctor who.
Karla's pov
Wednesday afternoon
I stare at my reflection in the bathroom of Richards &Co, female of course.
(PS. She's wearing the necklace from the chap before.)
I wipe my face with the tissue from my purse since i washed my face then reapply my tinted clear gloss.
I stare at my reflection.
Mostly my eyes. Last time I almost forgot to put on the contacts but thankfully for the security men who were staring at me and the huge polished glass windows I slipped them on.
The contacts I wear are custom made and they are suprisingly, not suprisingly since it's custom but they look striking similar.
I have both brown and green in two different boxes.
I mostly wear the brown ones because they are supposedly 'normal' for a girl my 'color' because it's very rare.
I wear the green when I feel sad, because they remind me of Dad. I wear those when I'm alone.
"Well, let's go deal with that B of a man." I said to myself.
Remember, you are a Roland.
Ain't nobody gonna toss your opinions around.
Your gonna fight.
And you are definitely winning.
I thought to myself as I walked out.
When I walk out, I meet Miranda
standing outside the washroom waiting for me.
"Hey are you, okay now?" She asks looking concerned.
"Yes, I'm okay, just a little light headed nothing much but I feel better now." I say trying to lessen her worry.
I'd been anxious all day ever since I realized what I had to do today. And unfortunately for me, I've been doing a bad job hiding it.
At breakfast everyone asked, then at school, Tina asked, a few students I saw in the halls, one professor asked and now Miranda.
Yep, definitely a bad job.
So I change the subject and ask her something I've always been curious about.
"Hey, um, Miranda, I have a question." I say.
"Sure, ask away." She says smiling.
" Uhm, how much do you know about, um, what I'm doing here?
"Um, just enough." She says.
She looks at me and realizes i still want to know so she says.
"I just know this is some very important top secret stuff that's all. And even if I knew don't worry your secrets safe with me."
She says reassuringly.
Then, we continue walking to the conference room.
*Time lapse*
"Sir, she's here."
"Come in." Mr. Roland says
She opens the door, walks in and I follow.
"Is there anything you'd like, sir?" She asks.
"No, Miranda. Kayla?" He asks and I say no.
"It's ok Miranda, your dismissed. If I need anything I'll call you" Mr.Roland says.
And just like that, she leaves.
"Have a seat." He says.
I do and take the seat I sat in last time.
"As you know already, I will be out of the country for a few weeks, probably six weeks with my wife. We'll be going to Germany to visit some family. That's why I've scheduled this meeting." He explains and adds,
"I believe that you've gone over a descent amount of the contract?"
How is he acting so normal?
I'm literally hanging off a cliff of anxiety. Yep, I'm over thinking again.
I take in a deep breath and say,
"Yes, I've actually read the whole thing but I have a problem with some of the clauses in the contract." The contract was literally 2 and a half pages front and back.
"Hmm, okay. And which clauses did you have problems with?" He asks not really concerned.
"Uhm, it was the clause about him going out with other people and the clause which talks about children." I say briefing him.
"Go ahead." He says.
"I, I do not agree with the fact that he is allowed to go out with others but I'm not because we both had our lives before we got together.
So I do not see why me going out with anyone is a problem, it's not even like I intend to get with somebody now but it implying that it will be a disgrace does not sit well with me, at all.
And also, the whole thing with the pregnancy, um, I do not understand.
With the clause which says the contract is broken if I have a child out the marriage. I understand, I get that. I agree.
I'm not even planning for children in this marriage and not even now. And your contract is saying that if, I am to have a child with your son the baby is going to be taken away from me after birth and I'm never allowed to contact? And if I do I'll be sued?! Sir, if you want grandkids, there are lots of surrogates out there!
So please explain because those clauses very very confusing to me." I said trying not to sound angry because this stuff was just
.............. .
Then he looked at me blankly and sighed.
"Ms. Roland, Karla is it?" He asks.
I nod.
"Well Karla, I understand your distress but I, on the other hand think it's a good contract.
However, since it's a headache for your pretty head, I will change the clauses to modify your wants.
How about you both get to go out with as many people as you like as long as you keep it out of the public and your home?
And with the children. It is just a possibility, I just want to make sure everything that could happen is in it bit since you do not want the possible child to be taken away from you, how about this?
If anything ever happens and you have this possible child, you and your child will leave and go back to your home with $300,000.00 from the contract, no child support and the two of you will never contact my son or your child could go to an orphanage?
Besides, the child could end up as like a freak of nature, like it's mother. With eyes like that the plain Jane type would be a better surrogate."He says.
Wow! This man is really something. What kind of solutions are these?!
I can't believe he's some rich businessman!
O M G !!! How di
"W-What?" I asked starting to feel uncomfortable.
"Did you think I was going to allow my son to get married to a random girl, much less my enemies daughter, without having information on them?
*Evil Chuckle*
I have every bit of information on you, your family and friends.
Now, what's your decision?"He asks.
"I, I think I'll stick with the first clause." I say.
"Smart choice." He says and continues with," I guess your as smart as your grades show."
I just give him a blank face.
My grades are not bad y'all. They are excellent.
"Okay, so i'll have my lawyers finalize everything and we can start planning the wedding." He says and presses a little buzzer thing. A few minutes later, Miranda walks in.
"Miranda, have the lawyer finalize the document for signing." He says and hands her a key.
"Okay, Sir. Is that all, Sir?" Miranda asks.
"Please send Aiden in." He says.
"Okay, sir." And she walks out.
Once she leaves I ask," Mr.Roland, are we done with the meeting?" I ask I put my purse back on my shoulder and get ready to get out of my seat.
"Yes, we are officially done but there's someone who I want you to meet?" He says.
Someone I should meet?
I'm not sure I have the mentally social capacity to meet someone after this.
"Oh, um okay." I said sitting back in my seat.
*Time lapse*
I sit for a while, probably two minutes which go by.
There's a knock at the door.
Come in. He calls out.
The door opens and a man walks in.
He has dirty blonde hair and bright baby blue ocean eyes.
He's tall, maybe Marcus's height but a bit taller with a model like figure but his dark grey suit accentuates his muchacho figure.
His white shirt underneath has the first two buttons undone which shows a teensy bit of chest. A leather watch on his left hand and what seems to be a silver charmed bracelet on his right with a few string band.
"Dad? You called?" He says looking at Mr.Roland.
Hmm, he's actually hot.
Wait, did he say DAD?!
Before I could ponder over that he notices me, smiles and says, "Hi." with a hint of British accent.
I smile back and shyly, probably inaudibly say hi but he hears and gives me a small smile.
"Aiden, sit."
Mr. Roland says to Aiden gesturing to the seat next to him on the left side.
Aiden sits then he continues,
"Now, Kayla this is Aiden, my son. Aiden this is Kayla your wife-to-be."
A/N:
