Chapter 224 - Two Hundred And Twenty-four: Take Responsibility (2/2)

”You know what? We'd discuss this at my place,” he decided without her opinion.

Emily wanted to refuse but Ahmed grabbed her wrist amidst her struggles, dragging her to his car.

Throughout the ride, Emily didn't say a word instead she kept sobbing quietly while staring out the window.

Ahmed let her be but the veins in his head throbbed, not to mention that he was feeling strangely hot. Why wasn't the air conditioner working?

Everything was a blur, all Emily could remember was them reaching his place which was heavily guarded, and then to his own room which he felt was more private than the living room.

”Alright, nobody can eavesdrop on our discussion, the walls are soundproof, and it's just you and me. So feel free to tell me what's going on with you Emily,” Ahmed told her, removing the tie from his neck.

He was contemplating stripping completely since the heat was making it unbearable for him to stay with his clothing but he had a guest over so had to be on his best behavior.

”We should cancel this marriage arrangement, it's no longer going to happen anyway,” Emily said with raw emotion.

Ahmed ran his hand through his hair,” You're making everything hard to understand, Emily”

”I spiked your drink ”she confessed.

”What?” He was dumbfounded.

”I drugged you, so I could sleep with you,” Emily added details.

”That is what I can't understand, Emily. Why would you drug me when you could have just asked to sleep with me if you were that horny -not that I'm judging you by the way- but I'm officially your fiance now” he questioned, gesturing with his hands and all.

”Because I'm pregnant,” Emily ultimately disclosed the truth, her tears falling harder.

Great, she ruined it! She was supposed to hold on and go through with the plans tonight. Yet here she was, spilling her guts outs already.

Honestly, Emily had expected Ahmed would order her out of his house with blazing anger having realized her plan. But to her surprise, he calmly asked, ”What happened?”

Emily began narrating the whole events amid the choking tears, without leaving a stone unturned. By the time she was through, Ahmed had gone still with bewilderment.

”I'm leaving cause I feel so embarrassed right now. I almost did such an abominable thing to a good man like you,”

Emily was hurting badly. She was close to doing something against her principle so she could survive.  How would she feel if someone had done the same to her?

She picked her purse, preparing to

walk out of the door when Ahmed said

”I'll take responsibility,”

”What?” Emily felt she heard wrong.

”Let me be the father to the baby,” he insisted.

Emily's brows furrowed, he must be joking right? Why would a rich, handsome perfect guy want to be the father to a child that isn't his?

”Why would you do such a thing for me?” She became unsure of his intention.
