Billionaire's Wife

Chapter Twelve Continues

Mary's POV

I woke up excited as I was going to the hospital to pick up mom, as today was the day of her release from the hospital. I had my bath and ate a little breakfast to meet up and come home to get ready for the date I had.

I needed to go shopping and find an affordable date dress to put on. I was in a taxi, and the taxi driver was just rude and hated me for no reason whatsoever.

He said he didn't like me because I had melamine skin and that he would've preferred if I were born with a skin color like his. I felt really offended and upset about what he had said to me.

I wondered that my skin color was different but that my behavior and personality were all the same, as we are both humans, and that despite us being people of color, we weren't different.

I cautioned him for his behavior, and what he said was the end of it. He said that he wasn't racist and that he just expressed his mind and his opinion about me. I told him to keep that rubbish opinion to himself, and I didn't really care or give a fuck about what he thought of me. I am mixed; not everyone knows about it except my family and my friends. My dad is half Italian and half African, but his dad was an Italian man, and his mom was from Nigeria. But he inherited his mother's genetics and skin color. Her genes were stronger than his dad's.

My mom is an American, and my siblings don't really have much of dad's. I took most of my dad's genetics, and sometimes people do not know that my siblings and I are related.

I have curly, naturally ginger hair that's very curly and thick.

The moment he stopped in front of the hospital, I paid and quickly left. I was very sad, and I had to stop being angry not to make mom worry. I went to the doctor who was in charge of that day, and he gave me the necessary documents to sign, which I did, and informed me on the medication to give her and the medical checkups that she would be doing for the time being until they were sure that she was okay.

I took mom home and dropped her off at home. Luckily for me, my siblings were at home and happy to meet mom, as I knew that they had some things to catch up with.

I went shopping and got myself three dresses, as I didn't know which one would be good for me.

The first one in black:

I headed home, had my bath, and got dressed ( I actually wore the first dress as it looked sexy and showed my curves). I did my makeup, which was to make me look hot; you know, I needed to look good for my date in a fancy restaurant; I couldn't look like a servant there.

Here's a picture of my makeup:

I came to the living room, where my family was watching a movie. The moment mom saw me, she beamed and was proud of what I wore. I am my mother's daughter, and I have to show that I am a fashionista just like my mom, who runs a fashion company.
As we were all talking about everything and anything, The bell rang, and when James went to answer the person pressing the bell, It was Ajax who came in. Mind you, Mom doesn't know about the deal I signed with him. It was a secret between me and my siblings. If mom knew, she wouldn't support the idea from the start, and we didn't want to pressure her into doing it as she was just recovering.
My mom beamed when she saw him and hugged him. He told my mom she looked gorgeous as ever. It was true, nevertheless, that she was so beautiful that we all took that from her.
My mom smirked at me, and Ajax promised her that he would bring me back safely. She told him that when he returned with me, she needed to ask him some questions about him and needed to know about him. He agreed shockingly and kissed my mom's hands, and my mom, admired by his charms, blushed.
