The Billionaire 1&2 novel Chapter 7

AMBER is busy playing with her phone while lying on her bed when Rafael suddenly entered her room and quickly approached her.

“Rafael!” She screamed his name in surprised as she stood up. “Can you at least knock? What if I’m naked and you suddenly barged in?”

“Then that’s great! If that’s the case then you’re already moaning loudly right now.” Rafael said making her instantly blush.

“You…” She was surprised when Rafael quickly grabbed her wrist and pull her closer to him, giving her a kiss.

“I wanted to ravish you here, right now…” Rafael said, staring at her.

“Behave!” She warned making Rafael laugh.

“Kidding aside, judge Marquez is already here and is waiting for us.” He said. “Let’s go.” He said pulling her hand and they went downstairs.

She was curious why Joshua and Gabriel are there, maybe they serve as a witness. Judge Marquez didn’t stay long, he just let them signed their marriage certificate. Starting from that day on she is now Amber Santiago-Anderson. She doesn’t know what will happen to her now, but she’s willing to take the risk especially now that she’s starting to feel something to Rafael. But it is still early to say that…

“Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson.” Judge Marquez said. “I will go now, since I have works waiting for me at the office. I will just send your marriage certificate once it is done.”

“Thank you, Judge.” Rafael said before the guest leave.

“This is the contract you’ve asked me, Rafael.” Gabriel said opening his black attaché case and bring out a brown folder. Rafael, her husband from now on, gets the document on the folder and reads it.

“Amber…” Rafael called her name, she’s actually nervous—she can feel that something is going on. “I need your signature here.” Rafael said handing her the document and a sign pen. She didn’t say anything; she grabbed the document and read it.

The document is actually a contract—a contract stating that she will not get anything from Rafael except for the thirty million and the things she will use during her pregnancy, it also states that she will only get an advance of two million. The remaining twenty-eight million will be given to her once she safely delivers the baby. The contract even states that she will only be Rafael’s wife in name only.

“Do you have any questions?” Joshua coldly asked; she sighed in secret, Joshua’s attitudes towards her now is different when she’s still working at the bar. It is true that Joshua is a womanizer like Rafael, but he didn’t hit or even tried to hit her,

“No, it is just…” She sighed.

“Why? Is it not enough?” Rafael asked frowning, gone is the Rafael who she teased with a while ago.

“No, it is actually more than enough.” Amber said. “But this is too much, I only need five million, so I’m sorry I cannot sign this.” She said.

“Can you state your reasons why?” Gabriel asked.

“I’m okay that I will not get anything from Rafael once I’ve given birth, at least, he will still provide a roof over my head and food to fill my stomach and of course being a mother to our child.” Amber said and looked at Rafael who is staring at her with those serious eyes. “As long as you provide the things I need during my pregnancy then we’re good, but the amount is too high, Rafa.” She said and sighed. “I’m sorry, I cannot sign this.”

“What is it that you need to sign that damn contract?” Rafael asked.

“Just five million, Rafael. And you must give that in full.” She said, sounded desperate, she needs to pay the debt in full in a couple of months. Rafael frowned and scanned her face.

“No.” Rafael sternly said, making her upset. Can she able to reason out to Mister Lim? “Two million is enough as an advance, Amber and I can’t give you more than that for now. And as stated on the contract I will give you the remaining twenty-eight once you’ve given birth to a healthy baby.” Rafael added, serious.
