The Woman the Lord Pays
Decisions

Eliana went back to the hospital to see her mother. Her steps came to a halt in front of the room where her mother was undergoing treatment. I don't know what to say to her mother, she really doesn't know.

The offer given by Ray sounded tempting but it was a crazy offer he had ever gotten. Childbirth? He really wants to laugh. Although she had not heard more detail about the offer but she knew what it meant, she would be a paid woman who gave birth to a child for a man she did not know at all.

He shouldn't have gotten that crazy offer so he doesn't have to think about it because right now he's thinking hard about the offer Ray's given.

A heavy breath was exhaled before Eliana entered her mother's room. She did not want her mother to see what she was going through right now. Eliana smiled as she went inside. Every time she saw her mother, she wanted to cry. Her mother's body was so thin, her head was no longer even hair.

"I'm back, Mom," he said as he approached his mother.

"How, Honey. You've met your father, haven't you?"

"Yeah, I also met his wife" a chair was taken, Eliana sat beside her mother and held her mother's hand which was like a bone wrapped in skin.

"What's? They didn't kick you out, did they?" her mother looked worried, she hoped her daughter would get good treatment from her ex-husband.

"Mommy doesn't have to worry, Daddy and his wife are good to me" Eliana lied when she was treated with unpleasant circumstances.

"really?" his mother seemed to be in disbelief. She knows how the habits of her ex-husband are and she also knows her ex-husband's wife doesn't like them.

"Of course, Mom. I'm not lying."

"You're lying, Eliana. Do you think Mommy can't see it? You're my daughter, you can't hide anything from me. The red on your face also shows that you've been treated with displeasure from your father."

Eliana hid the marks of the punch she got in a hurry, she forgot to disguise it with powder. He can't lie to his mother anymore.

"Tell Mommy, your father wouldn't lend us the money, would he?" ask mother.

"As Mommy said, but I'm gonna keep looking for that money until I can get Mommy to stay in this hospital."

"There's no need to push yourself, Eliana. Mommy knows you can't. Mommy's been troubling your life all along so Mommy won't force you to get that money. Mommy doesn't mind being cared for at home, maybe that way Mommy can go quietly and you can enjoy your life like any other girl."

"Don't say such a thing, Mom," Eliana raised her mother's hand, and placed it on her cheek.

"I only have Mommy, if Mommy leaves then who am I with? I promised Mommy I'd give her the best treatment so I'd do anything for Mommy so don't talk like that, as if there's no hope!"

"We have no hope anymore, Eliana. No need to push yourself, Mommy will be fine at home."

"No Mom, no. Trust me, Mommy will get the best care" she assured her mother.

"Mommy wants to believe it, honey. But Mommy knew you wouldn't be able to," tears flowed, she can only complicate her daughter's life even Eliana has to bury her dream of continuing her education to college because she has aspirations to become a flight attendant but now, she has to, Eliana had to work hard to find the cost of treatment due to a disease that was no longer likely to heal. If she could choose, she would rather God immediately call her so that Eliana would not have to live to suffer anymore.

"Don't cry, Mom," Eliana wiped away her mother's tears while crying.

"I definitely kept my promise to Mommy, so Mommy doesn't have to worry. Mommy's better get some rest, everything's gonna be fine after this" he said. It seemed like he would inevitably have to accept the offer Ray gave.

"Well, you just got back. Go get some rest."

Eliana was still sitting by her mother's side until her mother fell asleep and after that, Eliana came out of the room. The business card Ray gave him was issued, he really had no choice anymore. Just giving birth to a child, right? He doesn't think it's hard and he's sure he can.

"Ha-Hello, it's me. Can I talk to Mr Ray?" he said when someone answered the phone.

"I'm Ray, has Miss Eliana decided yet?"

"Of course, tell me. What exactly is the job I have to do?" ask Eliana.

"Let's discuss this in detail, meet me at the restaurant that's in the hospital where Miss's mother is being treated."

"I wait," Eliana sighed after she finished talking to Ray. Before leaving, Eliana sees her mother's condition for a moment and after that she goes to see Ray. As he said, whatever he would do for his mother.

Eliana waited for Ray's arrival for quite a while and after the old man came, Ray took Eliana to a private room. No one can know, anyway. A thick paper was already on the table, Eliana did not know what it was but soon she would know.

"Tell me, do I have to give birth? And who paid me?" eliana asked without saying anything.

"For that, you have no right to know" Ray replied.

"What do you mean?" eliana did not understand.

"Listen to me, Miss. The Young Master only wanted an heir without being tied to the ropes of marriage and he wanted his heir to be born by a woman who had never been touched by a man other than himself. He doesn't want you to know his name and his appearance and he doesn't want to know your name and your appearance to keep you two strangers without getting involved after you gave birth to an heir for him," obviously Ray.

"What's? So I have to sleep with a guy I can't see at all?" Eliana really can't believe, are they gonna fuck in a dark place?

"That's the condition if Miss is willing. I'll explain some important points. As long as Miss goes through the task of conceiving and is already in contact with the Young Master, Miss is prohibited from being in a relationship with any man. Being close to a man is forbidden. We'll keep an eye on Miss's movements, if it's breaking then Miss has to pay us a million dollars."

Eliana was surprised, a million dollars? What a terrible compensation. If he had the money, he wouldn't accept that super crazy offer.

"The heir you're referring to, is it a man or a woman?" he should know about this.

"Of course men, Young Master wants boys. If you are pregnant with a daughter, the baby must be aborted. Miss Eliana won't have to worry, Miss Eliana won't know when it happens."

Eliana was silent, at a loss for words. She thought it was enough to give birth, but in fact the task she had to do was not easy.

"One thing you should also know, after giving birth Miss should not take the baby. Miss Eliana could learn another point," the thick paper on the table was pushed towards Eliana.

"If Miss is willing then we can sign the agreement and after that we can do the virginity test because we have to be absolutely sure, Miss is still a virgin or not."

Eliana looked doubtful, really she did not want to but given the circumstances of her mother and also the fees she had to pay, she had no choice whatsoever. Before actually making a decision, Eliana thought hard but in the end she agreed to accept the offer. Giving birth to a child for a man she should not know at all.

The agreement was signed, hopefully he did not make the wrong decision. Ray looks satisfied, his job of finding women to do the task is complete.

After signing the agreement, they went to the hospital to do a virginity test. The results are very satisfying because Eliana does not have time to be in a relationship. An address Eliana got and tomorrow, she has to go through her first assignment: to sleep with the man who paid for it.
