Chapter 27
Greg
"If Linka comes, let her in immediately." I said to Margaret and nervously entered my office.
Oh my God, an heir! This is great news, let's see how I can take advantage of him in several ways. Finally, all my competitors will know that I have an heir who will inherit the company, my money and my efforts all that will not be wasted among the general public. I can easily control his mother now I have trapped her forever, she will never be able to escape from me, but I must find a quick plan to be able to control all this
I was walking back and forth in my office nervously when she walked in
"Mr. Greg, you've asked to meet me." She says solemnly as if it were a plank of wood, it's all right, my dear, everything will change now.
"Yes .came in and close the door please "After she closed the door, I approached her and raised my voice "Lin, why didn't you tell me? "
"Excuse me, tell you about what?"
"That You are pregnant" With an evil smile
"what ! Who told you this?... I... I'm not pregnant." She was visibly shocked
"Listen, Lin...Don't play with me. You know very well that this is something you cannot hide .Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's none of your business" She started to raise her voice in anger
"What?... Are you crazy? I am the father of this child, and you know that very well"
"Don't you ever say that again, Greg, I'm warning you, do you hear me? This is not your child. It's a wheeler's baby" Despite her angry looks, I could see the tears hanging in her eyes, what she's trying to hide
"Oh yeah sure, like if this spud stuffer could do anything" I was waving my hand sarcastically
"He's all man, don't talk about him like that"
It's weird that you're defending him after all he did to you, it's like you still love him "
Here she was going to leave my office after what I just said, but I grabbed her arm and pulled her towards me "Ok, okay, listen, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry,... Please Lynn, listen to me. First, I want to tell you, I'm sorry about that night, and I thought I was helping you, I'm so sorry, but I was drunk too, it was a stupid mistake, we can't undo what we did "
"I don't want to listen to this." She was trying to get away from me and get out of the office
"Yes, you should listen to this, and this is the most important thing." I pulled her by the shoulders to me and I looked into her eyes as she avoided the look that "Please let me fix it for you. I want to step up for my kid and be a good father"
"I told you, you are not the father" She cried angrily.
"Oh no, I'm definitely the father, listen... You can't take care of the baby on your own, you don't have enough funding, do you know how much it costs to rise a kids? Especially after that bastard who left you and went to one of his whores, he will never support you with anything, believe me, I tell you, do you know what a child means. Do you know what pregnancy means? It is a great responsibility, you need someone to take care of you, and help you clean the house because you will not be able to do that all the time, you need someone to cook your food, wash your clothes, support you financially and morally, you need someone to bring the things to you if they fall down because you will not be Able to bend your knees, you need someone to help you get up from the chair, when your weight is heavy and you lose your strength, for god sake use you brain Linka, invest all the opportunities that pass by you, come I will show you something"
Then I took her to the large window to the right of my office, directed her to the view that the window overlooked, and stood behind her, whispering in her ear.
"Look at this view, it is not an ordinary sight, it says a lot, it represent the power and wealth, do you see that large villa on the top of the hill, this is my house where I live with my father, and we have many servants to serve us, I have such a house in different states and countries around the world, look at that smoke in the corner This is my new factory where we went and I have a lot like it around the planet I run them all from this office . do you see the people and the street and the buildings down there they, they look small and worthless "I approached her ear and whispered to her" any woman in the world will be very lucky to be the mother of the only heir of the Hanson family, come with me, live in my mansion and be the queen of it, you don't have to work this little job, all my servants will be at your service, you will have the most luxurious car I offer to you with a chauffeur at your disposal, you will spend the day rest and relaxation And shopping, it's every woman's dream, Linka... Think... For God's sake, think."
She closed her eyes, which were brimming with tears, took a deep breath and turned around to me
"This baby isn't the heir you're thinking of, he's not yours, Greg, and you, your company, and your money can go to hell."
"You're stupid girl, this baby is mine, I know that... and I remember exactly how I made him" She pissed me off so much, I can no longer control my words or body my language
Then she raised her right hand to slap me, but I caught her hand at the right time, said to her, "Don't stand in my face, Linka, no one can stand up to Greg, I warn you, if you don't accept my offer, you will regret it."
(At that moment Linka looked into Greg's eyes, she saw the same, wild, predatory look in his eyes when she found herself in his bed.)
"I already regretted that I once thought you were my friend, you are just a monster in human clothes." She slipped out of my hands and quickly ran away from my office
I stayed in my office watching where she was going through the screen attached to the cameras located throughout the company, and thinking what I would do, this pregnancy is my chance, and I will never let her nor the child go away.
She went to the women's restroom and spent some time there, then went back to the conference room where the rest of her team was
"Margaret, call me Dylan quickly." Dylan is a punk bus boy, it is not so important that I let him work in the office, I can make him work for me in secret
"Good evening, Mr. Greg "Dylan said walking into my office
"Hello, Dylan, please come in." After Dylan approached my office, "Dylan, I know that you are just a bus boy, and I know that this job is boring for you, and that his salary is not I right?" I got up from my office and started circling around Dylan
"Ohh yes, sir…, that's right"
"I'm offering you another job, with greater reward, and it only requires you to observe carefully and tell me all the details."
"Of course sir, I'm willing to do it" Dylan looks excited about my new offer
Ok so what are we waiting for let's get started, I want you to go to the third floor, and specifically to conference room number two, take some beverages and snacks with you, you will find a beautiful blonde girl sitting among her colleagues, I want you to watch her every move, I will give you her home address, I want you to watch her for several months from now"
"Do you mean you want me to spy on her, sir?"
"Actually, we can't call it espionage, it's just that this girl has something that I care about it a lot, and I have to protect her , I want you to watch where she goes, and from where she comes, and with whom exactly, I need every single details. Did you understand?" And I'm still navigating back and forth around Dylan
"Yes sir"
"Good." I wrote down her home address, put it on an envelope full of cash and pushed it towards Dylan, who quickly took the envelope and walked out of the office.
On the same day, about eight o'clock at night, I came home, got out of the car and gave the keys to the doorman to stop it in it designated place. Then when I enter the house the maid took my work bag.
"Would you like me to prepare your hot bathtub, sir?"
I nodded at her in the affirmative and walked into the living room, where my father was sitting drinking coffee" Hi dad".
"Hi son, you look tired!"
"Yeh, the work never ends." I sat tiredly near him on the couch
"Then you'd better rest a bit.. Would you like some coffee?" He raised the coffee pot and poured it into the cup.
"I think some coffee is OK." Then I took the cup from him, and started thinking, should I tell him, or not? I think it would be better if I told him, after all what we wished both most is to have an heir to this family and its property.
"What's wrong son, you seem absent-minded, is everything alright ?."
"Yes, something new just happened. In fact, I don't know, I don't know what to do about it ".
"What is this Greg, maybe I can help." I was silent and hesitant, I guess I wouldn't tell him
"You'll never change Greg, you're stubborn , thinking that you can do everything on your own, take it easy, son, maybe you should share your worries and thoughts with your father."
After hesitation, with difficulty I said my father " I….I…Got a girl pregnant"
He turned to me, and the shock obvious on his face. After a few seconds of silence, "she's not a teenager, is she?"
"Oh, no. She's an adult."
"What about you, what do you think of this girl?".
"She's amazing, gorgeous, I've been dreaming of her for several years"
"So what's the problem, Greg, convince her of your love, marry her, that's the right way to do it, please... Please make my only grandson legitimate"
"I don't know dad, it was a drunken mistake in a moment of weakness, I was thinking about sexuality only after the effect of alcohol, and now I don't know how to get her and the baby"
"Hey.. this girl, doesn't she love you?"
"No, not after the mistake I made"
"You know something, Greg, women are emotional and weak in front of precious gifts and roses ,sweet talk, come on, you were married before, you must bring my grandson safely to us , and there is no possibility of that unless you convince the mother"
"I took a sigh and sipped my coffee in silence"
"Who is this girl, son, do I know her?"
I didn't like my father's silly solutions, marriage, I'm not ready for that, she doesn't want to look at me, how can I convince her to marry me, there are better solutions in my mind, but it needs time to implement, I got up from the sofa and went up the stairs, then I said father without turning.
"Yes, you knew her, Dad, but that wouldn't change anything."
"Who is she, Greg?"
"I'd better tell you later, good night."
