Chapter 6 Meeting A Little One 3

The meeting with Mark Harris and his lawyers was very uncomfortable, especially when he told me about the requirements in bed for this marriage of convenience, but seeing my little girl again after abandoning her at birth made me realize that if I wanted her back in my life, I had to accept each and every condition that man put in front of me. "And what if I don't want to have relations with Mr. Harris? Tell me, what will happen?" I asked. "By signing this contract in front of you, my client is exempt from all responsibility, in case you feel violated or abused by Mr. Harris here present, he will only express his need to have sex with his wife and you will be obligated to not resist your husband," the lawyer told me. I looked at Mark Harris, realizing how relaxed he was in his large armchair, as if everything his lawyer was telling me was the most natural thing. "What do you say, Miss Lopez, do you accept all the conditions that my client has presented to you in this contract?" the white"haired man asked me." "What about my daughter then? How will I know that Mr. Harris won't transmit a contagious disease to me when he wants to have relations with me? Because your client, according to the tabloids, has had countless partners and lovers," I replied. "Both you and my client will undergo a medical examination to ensure that both you and Mr. Harris are healthy, and regarding your daughter as you say, a test will be done to confirm that you are the biological mother of little Cintia," he responded. "I must tell you, Mr. Harris, that I have no disease that you need to worry about, as we undergo regular medical examinations at the law firm," I replied. " We know, Miss Lopez, but my client may want to expand the family, and you must be willing and healthy to give him that baby, understand me " the lawyer told me. " It's not maybe, Sofia, I want a healthy wife to give me an heir. And as soon as the blood test comes back positive, confirming that you are the mother of my daughter, I will not hesitate to take you as many times as I want to give me a son " Mark Harris told me, looking at me with panic in my eyes at the thought of carrying another child in my womb, which would end my career. " Harris, what you want is a doll that obeys you and is at your disposal twenty"four hours a day. You have mistaken me for someone else. I prefer you to find someone else because neither my body nor I intend to prostitute ourselves no matter how much money you have " I responded, very angry." " Not even for the girl you gave up for adoption when she was born? I don't judge you, Sofia, nor am I one to do so. I am not a man with millions in the bank who has taken a fancy to a woman who abandoned her newborn daughter and now wants to have you in my bed for it. I just want you to be a mother to my daughter, and I have chosen you after seeing many women who are better than you, with spectacular bodies, willing to do whatever I asked. But I preferred to investigate you, as you are my daughter's mother, and no one can raise her better than her own mother. Is everything clear to you now? Or is the young lady feeling more rebellious? Tell me " Harris said, angering me even more. Mark Harris sat up in his large armchair, interlacing his fingers on the table, looking at both of us intently with serious eyes. " I suppose I have finally silenced you. I am not a pervert, Sofia, nor do I desire a woman in my bed whenever I please. As you can imagine, I would have no shortage of women for that. I just want to marry a good woman and for my daughter to have a good mother. I don't think I'm asking for too much, am I? " Harris replied. " I think if you had done things differently, none of this would have been necessary. But no, you come to my office giving me photos of a woman I didn't know was sleeping with my fiancé, threatening to go to the tabloids and rant about my past, threatening that I can't see my family when I marry you, or else you'll report me to the tabloids. Do you want me to continue? " I said, watching Harris burst into laughter. " Sofia, I am not a man to court any woman. I already did that, and although you may not care, that woman left me standing at the altar " he said. " It doesn't surprise me, to be honest. Any self"respecting woman wouldn't want to be with you " I replied, making Harris stop laughing, looking at me with eyes of anger and frustration." " Look, Sofia, let me tell you that you have a lot of nerve. A woman sitting next to me, who gave up her newborn baby and shows me that she is proud of where she has come because she has very high morals. Forgive me, but you are very questionable, dear " he replied, very serious. " Have you made up your mind, Miss Lopez? If my client wants you, he will give you two million for your personal expenses until the ceremony, and then as Mrs. Mark Harris, you can have whatever you desire, as my client is very generous in that regard with you " the lawyer said, making me laugh. " So what should I do now? " I asked, distressed, tears falling down my cheeks. " "Now Sofia, we will both sign the document, you will come to my house in my car with me, and tomorrow we will go to the clinic to do the DNA test and a gynecological exam to make sure you can get pregnant again and that neither of us has any sexually transmitted diseases," Mark Harris told me, feeling my cheeks blush with embarrassment at his words."
