“My father has heart disease, Isabella said directly, her voice firm but with a vulnerability she couldn’t hide. “And right now he’s in the intensive unit. I she lowered her head and looked at her hands to hide the shame and desperation she felt at that moment. “I have no way to pay for it. That’s my only condition. Mr. Ashford,”
CATE
Sebastian looked at her for a moment, detailing her expressions. He could see the shame in her, and this made him reflect on the desperate situation she was in. What he had investigated was that she had married the eldest son of the Becker family, an idiot with delusions of being a businessman. To say he wasn’t curious about the details of their relationship would be lying to himself, but he reminded himself that it was just a deal and that each should keep their pasts private.
“Fine,” he finally said. “I can do that. And to show my intention to be benevolent, I’ll arrange for your father to be admitted to one of the best specialized clinics in the country, in Detroit. That way, you can see him whenever you want, as long as this lasts”
Isabella nodded without thinking. Sebastian’s promise that her father would be treated by the best doctors greatly reassured her. Moreover, the fact that he would be far from Marcus’s mulice gave her a respite..
“Well, since we’ve reached an agreement, it’s time for you to take a look at the contract. Sebastian placed a folder in front of her. “Till include the marriage and its conditions. But to start with the most important thing, which is saving Nicholas, Il explain what we’ll do.” He leaned forward. ensuring he had her attention. We’ll be together for a period of one year. Once the baby is born, we’ll wait the time indicated by the doctor and perform the bone marrow transplant. Once everything is completed, we’ll get divorced, and I’ll keep custody of the child.
Isabella stood up, shaking her head quickly.
“No.. no… You’re not going to keep my child!”
Sebastián also stood up and gave her a warning look..
*Tim not going to leave my child with you. So, he will stay with me. I don’t think you’re capable and have the means to take care of a child.
Isabella shook her head again, and her eyes became wel
“No, I. I’m his mother, you can’t… you can’t take him away from me. You can’t, you can’t…” she repeated over and over, making Sebastian’s heart soften at her desperation.
The fear was palpable in her.
He pressed his lips together, hoping not to make a mistake with his response.
“Alright” he said softly. “We’ll share custody, okay? But I’m not going to stay away from my child, even if there are no feelings between us. We’re creating a life, and I want to be part of it. I’ll give you child support and for you, and we’ll come to a visitation agreement after the divorce. Happy!”
“Y… yes… Isabella said, trying to calm down.
When Sebastian talked about taking her child away, it was as if she was living the same thing from six years ago when Marcus told her the child had died and didn’t give her the chance to see him at least. The pain was similar, and the didn’t want to go through that again.
“Good, then all that’s left is to sign Sebastian signed the document and then placed it in front of her. “Read it and sign it. I don’t want you to say I did anything against your will.”
She lowered her head and began to read.
Suddenly, Isabella’s eyes widened in shock, and then she looked at him perplexed.
“Se… sex every day?”
Sebastian gave her a smile and leaned back in his chair.
“Scientific data suggests that doing it constantly guarantees higher chances of pregnancy. And that’s what we’re aiming for, right?“
Jubella swallowed
“Well, yes. But I thought that.. that…”
“That I would do it through fertilization? Sebastian let out a chuckle. “No, sweetheart, that’s not my style. I like to make my children way; otherwise, the fun is lost.” He winked at her as he Enished.

She tensed upon hearing him call her that. However, not in a had way, a kind of tingle filled her stomach,
