She forced me to love her - chapter 3
Eduardo reached London from New York the next morning.
He checked in a hotel and later went to see his son.
He reached Zeke’s apartment and knocked on the door.
Zeke opened the door and saw Eduardo standing in front of him and before Zeke could say anything Eduardo punched him right on his face.
Sarah was shocked to see Zeke getting punched and fall on the floor. She then looked at Eduardo.
Eduardo looked at Sarah.
No one dared to look Eduardo eye to eye but Sarah didn’t look away.
Eduardo saw a challenge in her eyes and instantly knew she would never be good for his son.
Eduardo looked at his son and went close to him and picked him up by his collar and pushed him to the wall and held him there and said “is this what I have thought you? To go fucking **** girls? You are a disgrace to my name.”
Sarah was happy to see Eduardo seeing how wrong his son was.
“Dad I love her. She wouldn’t give in” said Zeke struggling to get away from Eduardo’s grip.
“Then you walk away. You can’t force someone to love you. If you wanted sex I would have bought you a thousand girls.” Said Eduardo.
Ok. Sarah didn’t like those words. Bought? Really?
Eduardo left Zeke and he fell on the floor.
Eduardo looked at Sarah and said “name your price. What will it take to shut your mouth”
Sarah was shocked to hear what Eduardo had asked.
“She is not that kind of a girl dad” said Zeke.
“Everyone has a price. Name yours girl” said Eduardo.
“Dad don’t insult your daughter-in-law like that” said Zeke standing up.
“Has she said yes?” asked Eduardo.
“She will” said Zeke and smiled at Sarah.
“You are delusional if you think I’ll marry you. You are going to jail for ****, Zeke” said Sarah.
“No he is not. I have enquired about you. You are disowned by your family. You are here on scholarship and don’t have money to pay for a lawyer. And let’s not forget if this information of you being raped spreads in your family your father will die in shame. Let’s avoid all that and accept what has happened and move on” said Eduardo.
“What’s wrong with you? You just hit him for what he did. And now are covering for him” said Sarah.
“Look girl. I don’t approve of what he did. What he did was wrong. But I can’t let my only son go to jail. So let’s settle it now and here. What do you want?” Asked Eduardo.
“I want justice” said Sarah shedding tears.
“Justice understands only one language. Money language. I have that and you don’t.” Said Eduardo.
“I won’t give up this easy. I will fight” said Sarah.
“Go ahead. See who wins” said Eduardo.
Sarah looked at Zeke and left the apartment.
She tried calling her father for help but she didn’t get any response.
She called her brother and he suggested to never call him as he would not go against his father and if her father came to know about it. He would definitely die.
Sarah didn’t want to hurt her father any more.
All through this time Zeke constantly kept in touch and texted her to return his calls but Sarah needed time to think.
She decided to go away from everything but through this all she had forgotten about taking plan B.
She only realised it after a month when she skiped her period that she was pregnant.
She finally called Zeke to meet and Zeke instantly knew why she called him.
“Sarah I promise to love you and our babies for the rest of my life.” Said Zeke.
“Babies?” Asked Sarah.
“Yes. I want many babies. All I want is to be a dad. Nothing else. You want to make a career? Okay do that. You want to have independence? Have that. Fuck tell me what you want I’ll do it. Just be mine. I will be a stay home dad and take care of kids and you go and finish your masters and become a lecturer you want to become” said Zeke.
Sarah had tears in her eyes and said “Zeke this all is not good and not right. All of this is wrong?”
“Let’s make it right. Together. Give me a chance. Give us a chance.” Said Zeke.
Sarah had no other way than to give in.
Zeke bought Sarah a villa which was close to the Eduardo’s mansion.
Ava, Zeke’s mother was a sweet person and took care of Sarah during her pregnancy.
Eduardo and Sarah didn’t like eachother and maintained a distance.
Zeke was the sweetest person ever and Sarah never denied it. But what he did was also something Sarah was unable to forget.
Zeke could see that she was distant to him at times but Zeke knew she would definitely give in.
Sarah and Zeke lived like a married couple and soon welcomed their first son. Elisio.
After the delivery the nurse gave Elisio to Sarah.
Sarah saw him and Elisio looked at her. She suddenly felt a shiver run down her spine. His eyes scared her.
“Don’t be ridiculous. He is perfect. It’s all in your mind” said Zeke.
Eduardo was the happiest of them all.
Sarah couldn’t look at Elisio and maintained a distance from him which led to constant fights between Zeke and Sarah.
Zeke would look after Elisio all the time and could feel a distance growing between himself and Sarah. But he was not going to give up.
He decided to give Sarah another baby so that she would be happy and would get distracted from hating Elisio.
Well that didn’t work and she completely started ignoring Elisio. And Elisio was bought up by nannies.
Elisio would beg for Sarah’s attention but Sarah only ignored him. She called him a sin child.
And after their third child was born Elisio tried hurting his siblings and was sent away to live with his grandparents.
Zeke felt like his heart was ripped away from him. He started resenting Sarah. But now was too late he had his fourth child on the way.
After Elisio was gone Sarah became relaxed and loved his three sons.
Zeke would take his three young sons to the mansion to play with Elisio but Elisio would only look for Sarah and ask for her.
Zeke wanted to make things better for Elisio but was failing miserably.
Eduardo stepped in and told him to concentrate on his marriage and his other sons and Eduardo would take full responsibility of Elisio.
And that’s how time went by.
Zeke sometimes felt like he was the only one trying in the marriage.
And his patients went off when Sarah said she wanted a divorce after 18 years of marriage.
Zeke didn’t fight. He accepted and decided to live a loveless life.
But he didn’t know his true love was growing up right in front of him.
All he had to do was hold her hand when she reached out.
