Chapter 4 I Don't Want To Start This The Wrong Way

  • Amélia finds Katherine in the hospital cafeteria, she observes her, sitting with her cup of coffee and a distant look, she approaches and sits in front of her.
  • "Katherine, what are you thinking? How dare you speak to my grandson in that way?"
  • "Mrs. Carter, since I arrived at your house, all I've been doing is following orders, I seem like a little doll in your hand."
  • "I made it clear that you will obey me, so why are you making things difficult?"
  • "Am I making things difficult? As if it wasn't enough to follow your orders, now I have to follow his? Because the man I don't know, but is my husband, woke up, tell me Mrs. Carter, what kind of family are you?"
  • "What are you insinuating with that question?"
  • "I'm not insinuating, I'm asking you! Look, I arrived at your house, and since then I am forced to do everything, I participated in a ridiculous wedding, without a groom, only after getting married did I find out that he was in a coma and as if that alone wasn't bizarre enough, now you want me to have a child, why?"
  • "Because you are Ethan's wife, who else would have a child with him?"
  • "A fake wife, with a signed contract, because you thought he would die."
  • "You are not a fake wife, you are the woman I chose for him and you will fulfill that role. What motivates you, Mrs. Carter? Because for society, you are that woman, Mrs. Carter, so get used to it."
  • "Of course, grandma. "She replies sarcastically with her frustration. "Now that your lovely grandson has woken up, I want a divorce, he can choose any woman he wants. Who would refuse to be with him? Billionaire, sole heir of the Carter family and a very handsome man, you can have the granddaughter you want."
  • "I already have the granddaughter I want, I chose you. Let's be practical, do what I'm telling you and I'll help you with your problem. "For a moment Katherine doesn't understand what Amélia is talking about, she stays silent with a serious expression. "I know your motivations, Katherine, I know why you are here and why you never opposed or questioned anything. If you carry my great"grandson in your womb, I will help you save your mother from the clutches of your ex"husband. Do this and I'll help you."
  • Katherine stays silent thinking about it, her motivations really were to save her mother, she lowers her gaze.
  • "How do you know that?"
  • "It doesn't matter, I know everything that concerns me, Katherine, accept it and I will help you with this."
  • "Alright, I'll do this madness and pray that my son is not born with your madness and before the birth of this child, you must have already helped me with my mother, otherwise I will run away carrying your great"grandson in my womb.
  • "Katherine Carter, threats are not welcome in this family, so don't repeat that, or you will be punished. You have my word that I will solve your problem. Now let's go back to the room."
  • "Okay, Mrs. Carter, take care of everything then, so that he can do his part and I can generate your great"grandchild. "She says in a low voice, controlling her anger and sadness at having to do that."
  • They return to the room and Ethan watches her all the time.
  • "Ethan, your wife has agreed to do this, she will be the mother of your child, as soon as you can provide the material so we can proceed with this."
  • "Grandmother, could you leave us alone? I want to get to know my wife. "He says sitting on the bed.
  • "Of course, I'll go home for a bit, let Peter know if you need anything. "She kisses Ethan on the cheek. "See you later, Katherine. "Amelia leaves the room, leaving them alone.
  • Katherine stands in front of the bed, not moving, she avoids staring into Ethan's eyes who watches her every moment.
  • "Katherine, my wife, why are you doing this?"
  • "You tell me, Ethan, it's your family, I'm following orders. "She is very upset about everything, in these moments she forgets how depressed she is.
  • "What are we going to do? And how will it be done? "He is just bothering Katherine, because he knows exactly how it will be done.
  • "Why don't you go back to sleep again? Maybe your dick won't work during the coma and every day I come here and sit on you until I get pregnant. "She says in a serious and mocking tone. "You're an idiot, like everyone in your family."
  • "Our dear family wife, now you are part of it."
  • "Unfortunately, I liked it more when you were in a coma. "She says leaving the room and slamming the door.
  • Ethan smiles, he finds her interesting when she's not moping around, depressed and crying, he hates women like that. In Harry's office, he is working when his fiancée arrives.
  • "Harry, my love. Good afternoon, how are you? "She asks with a smile, going to him and kissing him.
  • "Much better now that my muse is here and you, my love?"
  • "I'm fine too! I just came from a routine hospital appointment and met Mrs. Amelia Carter, now all that strange marriage made sense, her grandson was in a coma."
  • "Was? "He questions the time she used, because he has known Ethan's condition since the day of the accident.
  • "Yes, was. It seems that a few days ago he woke up, she is very excited about his recovery."
  • Harry is worried about that, afraid that Ethan might blame him for everything that happened, but he is also excited and it causes a confusion in his head, but he wants to know more about that family.
  • "Interesting, I'm glad everything worked out for them."
  • "Shall we have lunch together, darling?"
  • "Today I won't be able to, my love, I have a meeting around noon, with no set end time. Can we have dinner?"
  • "Of course, Harry, then I'll go so I don't disturb you. I love you. "She kisses him intensely.
  • "I love you too, Bella. "He kisses her again.
  • Isabella leaves the office, leaving him alone. He keeps thinking about Ethan being awake all the time, finishes a contract that he needs to deliver, and goes to the hospital to check on that. Katherine is going to have tests to check her condition and validate if she is in her fertile period, otherwise she will have to resort to substances that induce ovulation, so they can proceed with artificial insemination as quickly as possible. On the way, she meets Harry and quickly her mood changes.
  • "Look at the lovely Mrs. Carter, how are you, dear?"He says with a gentle look, as he wishes to make her his ally to benefit from the Carter family. Katherine looks at him and ignores him, she tries to continue on her way, but he stops her. "Katherine, don't be like this, you know it's better to be my friend. But I don't want to fight, I appreciate you and I'm glad you're well, you're better than ever, you're radiant after your wedding."
  • "You're very cynical, Harry, why are you here?"
  • "I came for an appointment, it was a lucky coincidence to meet you in the hallways, want to join me for a coffee?"
  • Katherine feels nauseated by his cynicism, all she wants is to kill that man, get back what is hers, and take care of her mother, but all she has is a husband she knows nothing about life, even though he is the grandson of the Carter family, he has always been mysterious, now she still needs to have a child with him, her mood has never been worse.
  • "Harry, leave me alone. I hate you, I'm only here because you forced me. I'm the doll of this crazy family, because you're blackmailing me, so stop being cynical and stay away from me."
  • "Kathe, your mother is being well taken care of, I would never hurt the woman who welcomed me as a son, I'm trying to keep her sober, this marriage was for your own good, now you will be a powerful woman."He says, caressing her arm as a sign of affection, Harry knows how to pretend very well.
  • Katherine moves away, she is disgusted by his touch. She stares at him and says nothing, walking down the hallway as if she had no destination. When she arrives in the room, she undergoes all the necessary tests and discovers that she is in her fertile period. She returns to Ethan's room and all the time she feels frustrated for having loved Harry and trusted him, she begins to hate herself for it, her life has become dark and she constantly blames herself for her family's fate. When he wakes up, he sees the woman who is his wife walking back and forth with tears in her eyes and that bothers him again.
  • "Do you want water?"He says, taking her out of her thoughts. "As much as you cry, you must be dehydrated. I can't stand this, if you want to keep crying, do it outside and not in my room, it's pathetic."Katherine watches him, wipes her tears, and says nothing. Amélia enters the room.
  • "So Katherine, everything okay with you? Ethan has already done his part, now it's your turn."She looks at Ethan and then turns her attention back to Amélia, she sighs deeply.
  • "Yes, everything is fine with me and luckily for you and unluckily for me, I am in my fertile period."
  • "Katherine, don't be negative, it can disrupt the procedure, come on, I'll take you there to do this quickly. My love, grandma will be back soon, I love you my grandson. "She says, leaving with Katherine who shows no reaction, and that weak attitude of hers once again bothers Ethan.
  • Even before the whole process began, Katherine's bad mood was visible, she was upset with her life, she couldn't forgive herself for going through that. The insemination that Amélia chose for her was intrauterine, as it involves treating the best sperm and depositing them directly into the uterus, as she doesn't want to risk failing and Ethan changing his mind.
  • "Katherine, control your mood, I don't want to start this the wrong way. You are creating a life, be happy. "She says, looking at her, Katherine remains silent for a long time, then forces a smile and looks at Amélia.
  • "Is this better, grandma? "She mocks.
  • She is called into the room where she will undergo the procedure, she walks there and stands in front of the door for long seconds, she sighs and enters the room with her heart broken, once again doing something she doesn't want to do, but has no choice.
