The Billionaire's Hidden Son

Surprised call

CHAPTER 5

Saying the last statement that left my mouth was like breaking an ice that has stayed frozen for centuries. The shocked look on Mr. Clinton’s face was second time to none, a perfect replica of the one on his wife’s.

They were both looking stupefied, but to say Susan was shocked would be an understatement, she’s beyond shocked, and she was the first to sprang up.

“What are you talking about? Contract… Marriage… Not … Your… Baby? “

The words fell out of her mouth senselessly, and the way she bit her lip hard after stuttering them showed she knew how foolish she just sounded.

The cat has been let out of the bag, and there’s definitely no way to put this back together again.

“What’s going on?” Mr. Clinton finally spoke, standing up slowly.

He held his walking stick tighter with his right hand while his left hand removed his glasses, and he narrowed his eyes, seeking an answer from the two.

“I just asked a question! What’s going on! Contract marriage? Not your baby? “ He yelled impatiently, the veins on his neck struggling.

“It was a contract marriage, I was paid for this, and that’s why I’ve been taking everything all of you have been doing to me in silence! I’m not daft! I was only working for the money! “ I snapped loudly, and Susan pinched me secretly, but I quickly moved away from her.

This might be my only chance of surviving, it might be the only opportunity to freedom after the one I lost, and I was ready to grasp tightly.

“You’re not making any sense here, young man! Do you expect us to believe that? “ Mrs. Clinton stood skeptically, attaching her shocked gaze to me.

“ She’s here right now, you should ask her, and if she refuses to talk, I have my copy of the signed papers! “ I retorted, and I could see Susan folding her fists in defeat as I said those words.

Mrs. Clinton fell back on her seat, and I took the next step by rushing over the flight of stairs.

It only took a minute to go into my room and come back downstairs with the documents, which I displayed in front of the couple.

Their mouths widened to an ‘O’ as they stared unbelievably. They were immediately dumbstruck, like they just received the greatest shocks of their lives.

The Impact was so vivid that Susan staggered on her own, and I scoffed boldly.

“And about the baby, I insist that I’m not the father. We only had sex once, and that was two years ago. I might be poor, but I’m not stupid! Go meet the man you were fucking in the restroom at the party” I said to her face, and her eyes widened again.

Just like her parents, she’s obviously dumbstruck, or maybe suddenly became dumb, because she made not the slightest sound.

“And this contract of marriage ends now! I’m off!” I finalized and flew up the flight of stairs again, leaving the suddenly dumb couple.

“Stephen wait! Stephen!” I heard Susan call after me, and I could equally hear her loud footsteps as she ran after me on the stairs.

Getting to my room, I got a bag from beside my closet and was about to start tucking in my clothes when I remembered I actually came here with nothing, It only makes sense that I leave with nothing.

I gave up the idea of packing and yanked off the shorts I was wearing, then I put on black long pants.

I can’t do this anymore, I can’t take it anymore. There’s a limit to what every living thing can take.

I’m a living thing too, even if I’m poor, I reached my breaking point already. I’d rather wallow impoverished for the rest of my life than spend another day in this hell of a contract marriage, I’m done being a dog. For real.

I was buttoning the pants when Susan barged in and walked straight to me. She held my arms with a blazing, desperate look, and I was forced to look at her.

“Stephen please, I’m going to double the pay, you need to go down there right now and tell my parents that the papers are fake, tell them you own the pregnancy and…

“Listen Susan, even if you promise me triple or more, I’m not interested anymore and that’s final! Leave me alone! “ I yelled, shaking her off, but she held me again, her direness getting the best of her.

“Stephen look, this is my life we’re talking about and you have got to…

“I’m not interested in your life, don’t you get it? I have my life to live too, so get off!” I shook her off once again, but she lost it completely immediately.

Her blind rage took over, and she gave me a hard hit on the face. My cheek stung hurtfully, but I didn’t care.

I’ve received so many hits from her and her family, so much, that I’ve gotten used to it.

“You’re going nowhere.” She barked possessively, and that was when my phone rang out on the bed stand.

I gave her a mean glare before going for it. It’s an unknown number on the ID.

I picked slowly, and a familiar female voice spoke immediately.

“Stephen Roberts?”

“The woman from the party? President of the Legion? How did you get my number?” I asked all at once, and I heard her inhale calmly.

“ That’s not relevant right now, Mr. Roberts, I know you more than you think”

“ Meaning?” I asked curiously, pulling my brows together as I sensed Susan’s angry eyes on me.

“You’re the long-lost son of our chairman, I mean chairman of Legion” the voice said, and my eyes turned big instantly.

“Huh?”

“Isn’t it highly time you return home? Sir Stephen?”
