Chapter 12 Are you pregnant?
Mavis tried to calm down as she watched her mother and Blaine come out of her mansion talking and flirting with each other. Besides didn’t he say that he would be traveling to LA a while back? Why is he here all of a sudden? – she wondered.
Blaine on the other hand was so uncomfortable with the woman currently talking to him. She was dressed in nothing but a tight red gown. The gown was so short he was certain that she would not be able to bend down should she have to pick up anything from the ground but more than anything, she looked like Mavis.
She kept smiling at him and making so many gestures around her cleavage as if she wanted to just grab his face and stuff it in there! Just thinking about that made him shudder and she didn’t miss that expression.
” What’s wrong?” She asked, touching his shoulder. ” Nothing. Could you maybe ask your secretary to send the files to me via email? I’m quite busy right now, I don’t think I can check out the contract.”
” Oh come on. I’m offering to buy a multi-million dollar football stadium from you and you’re not even willing to stay for tea? ” She asked, raising one of her brows seductively as she placed her hands on his chest and started to feel his body sensually.
” I thought you were married, Mrs. Ford?” He said, grabbing her hands and gently putting them away.
” And I thought you’re divorced.”
” Not yet,”
” But it’s not like you’re considering going back to her either,” she said and leaned in for a kiss when Mavis cleared her throat and stared at both Blaine and her mother, judging them harshly with just her eyes.
” Mavis!” She said with fake enthusiasm. She knew that if Mavis was at her house then there must be something terribly wrong.
” Mom, I see your hands are full,” Mavis said and smirked when her mother removed her hands from Blaine’s chest and glared at her.
” What do you want?” She asked, dropping the fake enthusiasm when she saw that Mavis was already attacking her.
” Just to talk as mother and daughter,” Mavis said, smiling so hard that Blaine could tell that she was faking it. He didn’t want to look at her but she was irresistible. Her long, brown, wavy mane kept getting blown by the wind every time she spoke and he couldn’t even get over the dress she was wearing.
He however found it odd that she wore an extravagant blue dress as though she was going to dinner when she was just here to see her Mom. He suddenly realized that the woman who had been trying to seduce him the whole time was Mavis’s mother and the whole thing made him even more uncomfortable. But he was angry with Mavis. After the way she treated him at his own restaurant, he just couldn’t stand her arrogance and ego. Now that he saw her mother, he could tell where she got it from.
” Mother-daughter? Since when do you care about that? Just go back to LA and stop bothering me. I hope you’re not here to beg me for money because my answer still remains that as long as you won’t take after my fashion business then you should forget about getting a dime from me. ” Her mother said so bluntly that Mavis’s blood started to boil in anger.
She looked at how her mother was dressed like a slut just to seduce Blaine who probably came here for a business deal and judging from how quick he was to sleep with her, she was certain that Blaine would’ve slept with her mother had she not crashed her mother’s plans.
” I’m sorry but you have no right to talk about me asking for money when the last time I did that was when I turned seventeen and you threw me out of your house for not wanting to live the life that you’re so OBSESSED with me having!” Mavis lashed out at her mother who just stared at her daughter nonchalantly. This wasn’t Mavis’s first time yelling at her and she was certain that it would not be her last.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
” Well excuse me for looking at my daughter’s hourglass figure and thinking that she can make good money off it by being a superstar model. Now, you’re just fat and unattractive… there’s definitely no hope for you there.” She said while Mavis kept quiet and Blaine started to lose his cool. What kind of a woman body shames her own daughter? He wondered.
” You know what? There is absolutely no need for me to wait till we get inside to discuss this with you. I’m just going to say it now.”
” Fine and while you’re at it drop the American accent, you can’t erase your past,” her mother said with a smirk, knowing that Mavis will become even angrier with her comment.
” I’d like to know why you gave Dad a property that you’ve used as collateral for so many stupid ass loans,” Mavis asked after calming herself down. The way her mother’s smile disappeared instantly made her realize that she was in total control of the situation at hand and she was loving it.
” What loans? ” She asked, pretending to be oblivious of it.
” I don’t know, the £150000 that you’ve borrowed in total” Mavis said with a smirk as she watched her mother panic inwardly.
” What is she talking about Mrs. Ford?” Blaine asked and Mavis scoffed.
” Look I suggest that if you were hoping to sell anything to this woman you should desist from it now ’cause she’s very shady. It might take forever until she finally pays you. ” Mavis said, watching as her mother’s eyes widened in shock at how Mavis exposed her in front of Blaine.
” Okay, first of all, I didn’t realize that I’d used it as collateral when I gave your father his property back, and then second, maybe it was my husband who did it, I don’t know!”
” But regardless, shouldn’t you have cleared the debt on the house before giving it to Mr. Tremont,” Blaine asked. He now realized why Mavis decided to sell it all of a sudden and why her late father kept begging him to help him out by buying the Estate.
” I didn’t know about the loan! ”
” Well, I guess you’ll have to settle that before I engage in any business deals with you.” He said, placing his hands inside his pocket and Mavis noticed that he was not dressed in a suit for once but in a black sleeve that hugged his muscles and a pair of blue jeans, his shoe was on another level of expensiveness so she didn’t even bother to know what brand it was. Everything about him was just money.
” Settle what? I can’t settle that debt, it was not planned for.” Mavis’s mother protested.
” Then how the hell do you think you can afford a stadium? Can’t believe that this was a total waste of my time. You don’t have the money for the stadium do you?”
” Stadium my ass, this is how she makes her money these days. She pretends she’s interested in a wealthy man’s business and seduces him along the line. They sleep with her and end up being the one who spends money on her. Trust me, she doesn’t give two shits about a stadium.” Mavis revealed with a wicked grin, angering her mother.
” Well good luck finding someone who’s going to buy that haunted house. If you weren’t such a failure I’m sure this wouldn’t have been a problem for you!” Her mother retorted.
” Well good luck whoring and kissing every rich man’s ass while being a full-time mistress rather than a fashion beast like the whole world has been deceived to believe. I’d rather end myself than-” Mavis’s words were cut short when she suddenly felt nauseous and ran down the steps to vomit.
” Oh my God. I knew you’d gotten fat for a reason. Mavis Paige Tremont, are you pregnant already? Single mom goals already?” Her mother teased while Mavis wiped her mouth with the back of her hands. She hated her mother even now more than ever because she just didn’t know the first thing about being a Mom. Suddenly, Mavis wanted nothing more than to keep the baby and raise her the way her mother could never dream of.
” Mavis, are you truly pregnant?” She heard Blaine ask and sighed because if she wants to keep the child then Blaine must never find out that he is the father. Else, she will just end up being his Mistress and that is NOT an option.
