Chapter 11 - 11. I'll Agree To This Deal If You

"Wait, so your husband is the president and owner of the big Fernandez Corporation?" Elena asked in a choked voice. Her hands trembled without Elise noticing.

"Yes, that's why Mommy is so demanding of my child."​​

Elena ignored Elise's words. She daydreamed about all the possibilities there was. What happens if Elise or Brian finds out about Diego? About the corruption case that was trapping the man. The man must be on a rampage and will not lend money. And Elena also doesn't want them to know about it. Not out of embarrassment to admit Diego as her fiancé. But because Elena doesn't want other people to look down on Diego. She believes Diego is innocent. It would be better if Elena did not tell about Diego and the use of the money she was going to ask Elise for.

Elena returned to focus on Elise. Hiding her previous state of thinking about something else.

"She threatened Brian to divorce me or remarry the woman of her choice if I wasn't pregnant too. And my deadline is only for six months. I don't want to divorce or see Brian remarry. I love that man. I'm so frustrated right now. I'm right. -I don't know what else to do, "said Elise.

Elena's heart cut to see the look on Elise's tortured face. As if she really could no longer find a way out of her problem. As if Elise would die if that happened.

"And the crazy idea just occurred to me in my brain. Please Elena help me." Elise looked at Elena intensely. She knew Elena would not help him, it was very difficult to get Elena's approval to help her. But only Elena is the only hope.

"Are you willing to see your husband touch another woman?"

"No, I won't. But I have to give up rather than lose him for good. And he touched you - my twin sister, not some other foreign girl. I'm sure you won't take Brian away from me." Elise was very sure of that opinion. Elena will not possibly snatch Brian from her. Elena is her sister and that woman could not hurt her.

"Then what about the child?"

"He will be my son after he is born. I promise to take good care of him and treat him as my biological child, Elena."

"You said you would give me anything if I agreed to this deal?" Elena said it quickly, afraid that her courage would disappear if she said it slowly.

"Yes," nodded Elise.

"Can ..." Elena paused. She was very difficult to say. But she has to. After taking a deep breath. Elena said again, "Can you give me five hundred million in exchange for the deal?"

"WHAT?!" Elise screamed slightly with a frown on her forehead.

"I'll agree to this deal if you give me five hundred million."

Elena knew Elise's gaze turned sharp and disliked her. Elena looks like a girl who takes advantage of Elise's pain, suffering, and troubles to earn a lot of money. But Elena has no other choice. She didn't know where she would get that kind of money. And Elena believes that five hundred million is nothing for Brian and Elise.

"Are you serious Elena? Are you asking five hundred million for this deal? Since when have you turned into a mercenary woman and took advantage of someone's distress like this?"

Elena just kept quiet. There was a heart that was hurt by Elise's sharp words. But she couldn't say anything. Because right now she needed the money. Regardless of her pride being trampled on, no matter how much she would be humiliated and scorned, Elena had to stay strong to get that money. For Diego. Only for that man.

Elena's head nodded firmly. Get rid of all feelings of shame and not knowing her.

"Yes, I'm serious. I'll help you. I'm willing to have a relationship with your husband and give birth to a child."

"And that child will be mine, you can not meet or claim him as your child forever, even until your last breath you can not meet him," snapped Elise quickly, she was annoyed and angry with Elena's request so that she cornered the girl.

Elena's heart was beating fast. Her heart screamed to protest Elise's words. How could Elise say that? Didn't meet her son though. Can Elena be?

"You know five hundred million money is not a little money. And I can not possibly give it to you for free. Especially if in the end you use the money for leisure." Elise's tone turned sharp. She was disgusted by what Elena said. She is annoyed and angry that the only family she has, her twin is asking for a reward for her help.

Elena is just speechless. She didn't want to protest at all about the baseless accusations that Elise made. Neither Elise nor Brian must know about Diego. Just let them look down on Elena, it's better than them knowing the corruption case that was trapping Diego. Moreover, the case was related to Brian's company. That man would look down on Elena even more. It's better if Elise and Brian don't know what the five hundred million is for.

Besides, Elena doesn't want to get mercy from others. She will try on her own, even if she has to be scorned and looked down upon, Elena doesn't care. She just wanted Diego to be healthy and keep his promise to marry her.

"All right, the child will be completely yours. I promise I won't sue for custody or show up to see the kid. As long as you can provide five hundred million in cash tomorrow."

Elise's eyes widened in disbelief at Elena's words. She seemed not to recognize the girl in front of him. How could Elena say that? Tomorrow? Gosh, that girl is so mercenary.

Elise had already explained her predicament and misery, but Elena took advantage of the situation and asked for five hundred million in return for helping her. Help? Elise is not sure Elena did that. Elena is taking advantage of the situation. And Elise would take all the rights from that child later.
