The Contract

Chapter 103-The Warning

PEARL'S P.O.V

I stepped out in a red mini skirt with it's matching cropped blazer jacket and a little silver bag. "No Kourtney, I want the...yes silver! Did you get the band?" I Inquired as I got into the car.

"Kourtney, get the band! Tell Bethany to pick up the dress from Stefano" I then paused as she talked, "oh wait... Kourtney I'm getting another call. Yeah, talk later"

She ended the call and I answered my Mom. "Good morning, Mom"

"I want you at Meadow right now" she stated, "what? The cafe—" Before I could finish, she ended the call.

Here we go again, why does she keep doing this?

I sighed and leaned back on the seat, "Jeffrey, we are heading to Meadow, the cafe" I informed and he drove out.

I sighed and glanced out the window, it was Saturday and I really just wanted to go to the office and do nothing but not meet up with my Mom.

But here we were, I was gonna have all the pressure in the world right this moment. We arrived there after few minutes and I got out and headed in.

I wonder what she wanted.

"Good morning, Mother" I greeted once I got to the table, she sipped the tea silently and I knew I had to take my seat.

I looked up at her and she gently placed down the mug. "Order something"

"I'm good, I was heading to work" I replied, crossing my leg over the other. She stared straight at me before taking off her glasses, "how's Travis doing?" She inquired.

"He's doing fine"

"And you?" I doubt that she cares, "As you can see" I replied and she went back sipping her tea again, "Mom, what's really the point of this meeting? It's too early"

"It's almost 2 months, Pearl since you got married to Travis..." She began. "I know that"

"Any changes?" She inquired and I shot her a confused look, "I told you everything you needed to know about... getting it done" she began.

Oh my gosh!

"What is the problem? I don't see any signs" she pestered.

"There is no problem and we've talked about this, Mom. It's just been 2 months"

"How long do you need to make a child?!" She exclaimed and I glanced around at the people with us in the cafe. "Mom..."

"You should be pregnant by now"

"Is that why you called me?" I asked in disbelief, "why else would I need you?" She asked and then hissed. " Don't you think Travis will need an heir? Who is gonna inherit the Ferrari's fortune? Talk to me right now, what is the problem?"

I stared at her, this was actually troubling her, for once my mother was worried about... something that concerned me.

Maybe I could play this game, since telling her nothing was not enough and it wasn't getting her off my back.

So...what if something was wrong?

"There is something..." I began, leaning on the table and that piqued her interest immediately. "... what is it?"

"I really don't find...it appealing"

"What?"

"The act isn't... fulfilling"

"Why? Doesn't Travis-"

"Oh, he's really good, I just don't...enjoy it" I admitted. "Well, what's wrong?"
