Chapter: Last Performance TaraBy the time I got to work it was almost ten o'clock in the night. The nighttime bar was as crowded as I thought it would be.“You're late today Tara”, one of the other strippers said when I entered the dressing room. “Yeah, I stopped at a friend's party before coming.” I lied, although technically, I did not think I was lying because Mia and I sort of had a small party at home to celebrate signing the surrogacy contract. But I could not tell Bella that.It was funny as I thought about how reluctant I felt when Logan Carter first offered to hire me as the surrogate mother of his child. I thought it was weird and wrong, or maybe it was just the outright manner in which he said it. Either way, it still felt funny that just yesterday, I was totally against the entire surrogacy idea, and this evening, I celebrated becoming a future surrogate mother.I took my time to dress up before my performance. It was to be my last performance as a stripper, and for some reason, I wanted to enjoy

Chapter: I Signed The ContractTara As I walked out of his office, into the reception, I wished everyone else would disappear so I could do a celebratory dance. Signing this surrogacy contract gave me the feeling that I was on the right track. “Five million dollars at the end of nine months!” I screamed in my mind and almost screamed out loud. It was a lot of money. There was no way I would have been able to earn up to that even if I continued stripping for the next year. This felt like a jackpot. I walked to the car park, unlocked my car door, and sat in the driver's seat for a few seconds before starting my car engine and driving out of Blue Diamond Enterprise, Logan Carter's company. On my way home, I stopped at a store and walked straight to the counter. “Hello”, I said when I got to the counter “Hello, good afternoon. What can I do for you?” a man who appeared to be in his late fifties answered from behind the counter. “Which way is the wine section?”, I asked not wanting to waste any time tu

Chapter: Tests and PaperworksTaraI took a cab the next morning to the address Logan sent to me.“The hospital is in the central area of the city and Logan insisted I go early. He has already made all the arrangements. I just need to show up and introduce myself”, I told Mia before leaving for the hospital.“Good morning miss. I'm here for my appointment”, I said to the receptionist.“Good morning ma’am. I'll need you to fill this form quickly so I can confirm your appointment status”, she replied and gave me a small piece of paper.I stood in a corner and filled out the form. I just had to write my first and last name as well as time of appointment. Then I returned the paper to her. She typed something on her computer and picked up the office telephone.“Hello doctor, Miss Tara is here for her appointment”, she paused, probably listening to him say something.“Okay Doctor I will tell her”, the call ended after that.“The doctor will see you now. His office is the last room on the third floor. You can use the ele

Chapter: Accepting an Unexpected Offer TaraBy the time I got home, it was almost six o'clock in the morning.“I’m sorry Mia. You know the drive from the club back to the house usually takes almost thirty five minutes if you were driving a normal car. But with a car like mine, it takes me another ten minutes. Today it felt like it was even longer. Probably ten more minutes longer than my regular time”, I said to Mia when I finally got home.“It's fine my friend I knew you would not be home early because of the nature of your job. And anyways how else would you have been able to raise the rent if you came home early?” Mia yawned tiredly as she spoke“True. I'm happy you understand”, I sighed, relieved that she wasn't upset.“Were you able to get enough money for our rent? Because if you didn't get enough, we will be completely homeless by tomorrow the landlord said I could wait for you here till you come back from work and if we don't have it by tomorrow morning he will have us removed from the premises completely”,Mia said

Chapter: An Unexpected OfferTaraAre you for real? Logan Carter? Like you mean the real Logan Carter wants to see me?” I was genuinely surprised that a man like that would be looking for me.“Yes girl. Logan Carter, son of Authur Carter is looking for you. Hurry girl, you don't want to keep a man like that waiting”, she warned sharply.“Oh, I've already changed into my regular clothes. I just need to pack a few things. This has got to be good. I wonder what he wants though”, my mind raced with hopeful thoughts. However, I could not easily discard the fear in the back of my mind about meeting a man as powerful as Logan.“You will find out when you meet him. But my guess is you have caught the attention of a big fish”, she screamed the “bigfish” with so much excitement.“Logan Carter comes from a long line of billionaires. His family was one very powerful family. There's no one in this city who has not heard about the Carter family. Logan Carter himself is not only the son of a billionaire, he is a billionaire him

Chapter: My Manager Brought Good News(Tara's POV)Ring! Ring!My phone was in my hand bag so it rang a little longer than it normally would. I fumbled through the bag and finally found it, quickly glancing at the screen to see who was calling.“Oh Mia”, I said delightedly, and answered the call.“Hi Mia.” I called, pressing the phone against my ear“You just interrupted my thoughts young lady”, I said playfully.“Tara! Tara!” She called hastily and immediately I became nervous. Was something wrong? Mia rarely called me by my real name.“What is going on?” I wondered, overhearing her soft sniffles on the other end of the line.Worried, I asked, “What’s wrong Mia? Are you crying?”“Tara, I've been kicked out of the house. The landlord said if we could not pay the rent this month we should move out. I tried to plead with him to give me more time to raise the rent, but he didn't listen to me”. She answered, her voice breaking as she spoke.“Oh my dear, you must be really sad right now. Please stop crying. There has to be a w
