 "No money, no staying...I'm tired of you...your stupid excuses but now...I already rented it to another person and don't even think of begging me because she already moved in"I was hurt and the lady added to my misery. It was pointless to argue, even if I pleaded with my life Mrs Egan wouldn't let me stay. I was helpless as I watched her elegantly walk away. She had everything and didn't have to beg others for a place to stay. I stood there thinking about my next move. I could go somewhere and ask for a job, a stay at home helper but I already tried that and the outcome wasn't so good. 

I was tired and just wanted to rest, I wanted to finally have a peaceful night and once I moved my things out of the building to an abandoned dark alley close to the building, I sat on my suitcase with my head leaning against the dirty wall filled with graffiti. I exhaled and inhaled as my eyes lift

I was so nervous that I could collapse any time soon"Take a seat Ms. Payton"our cold icy queen principal as we called her said without looking at me and gestured for the wooden chair opposite her table I slowly walked to the chair and carefully sat down. I was anxious to know what she was going to tell me. She was busy signing some papers hence I had to wait for her to finishAfter a while, she was done, shoved her files aside, adjusted her specs, and looked at me. She was as cold as ice. With no smile on her face. She was a little mean, which she musked up just being strict as someone who managed the biggest school in the city. She always said I was lucky to be at such a prestigious school getting a good education. She never ceased to remind me that I was poor without a good bank balanceI paid my fees in in

    I was devastated, the receptionist lady didn't even wait for me to tell her what I wanted, I was sure she was looking down on me. Yes, I wasn't as classy or elegantly dressed as her or worked in such a prestigious company but I had to say the place was my dream company. I've always wished to work in such a company all my life and when I finished college I had so many plans for my future. All I asked her for was a second chance to talk to her boss. I knew I was late but it was just for ten minutes they could reconsider"Please Miss...this isn't your house okay...leave before I call security"the lady spat out bitterly, she had a disdainful expression as she fixed her cat-like eyes on me. I failed to understand why she was acting as if I was there to steal her job"I know this but just one minute let...let me see your boss" I pleaded again, I wasn't going to leave without talking to her boss, the doctor told me they needed a surrogate and I wanted to be that surrogate.

    I sat there filling in the forms, the information left wasn't so bad hence I quickly answered all the questions and slammed the pen on the papers and leaned back to the couch. My legs straightened but not so much as to hurt my ankle. It was still hurting even though I was walking around like a fool but I had no time to sit in bed and nurse a wound. Already Mrs Smith took care of it and I was glad about her special remedies, my ankle wasn't as swollen as before and I could walk even in sneakers"Ugh! where is she!"I groaned in frustration after an hour passed and I was just sitting there. I tried playing games on my phone but I was too lazy to do that. Hence I rose to my feet hoping I could peek outside, however just as I was about to stand. The door flew open and the first lady who was rude to me walked in brutally."Are you fi

    "It's you! ?how come?"I exclaimed as my smile grew even more that I couldn't contain my happiness. It was the same man, the drunk troublemaker I met the other night. I was hoping he would remember me but his facial expression was distant more like he was shocked at my behavior than I was really surprised about"Any...problem?" he asked as if trying to know why I was reacting in such a way, I wasn't expecting that from him however his expression told me otherwise as if he didn't recognize me 'oh no' I muttered nearly face slamming myself at my silliness and he ignored me and walked towards his desk. My happy expression dropped as I gripped the form in my hands tightly and lowered my gaze as I proceeded to him. I guess he didn't recognize me. I let out a silent example and reached the desk but I didn't dare sit even though the man was sitting down in his chair looking at something on his computer"Sit" he muttered which sounded more like an order, I hesitated befor

I just came back from Ellison corporation to get my clothes. It turned out I was chosen to be the surrogate and according to what Beverly said, I was expected to move in with the same man who hired me because if I had to be his surrogate then I was expected to live with himAs much as I was excited to be a surrogate which would gain money for me, I was nervous and indecisive about going to a stranger's house and living with him and immediately Beverly drove me to Mrs Smith's house where all my belongings were, she was sad and didn't want me to leave"I know granny...it's not like I'm leaving forever but I'll be visiting...I got a job as a h

    "And what do we have here" when I was about to sit, I heard a melodious voice say, not sure where it came from but soon a fine-looking tall and slim lady wearing an elegant designer blue dress which stuck to her petite body. Her hair was brown and short. It was shiny and perfectly styled in a bob. She looked elegant as she flaunted herself showing her nicely painted long nails and a beautiful face with heavy makeup and some accessories around her worst and neck, I stood to the sides as she approached us and shifted her cat-like eyes to Beverly"Hey, Monica...I see you are around"I heard Beverly say as I waited to the sides not sure what to say or if to greet the nice looking lady but judging by the way she was looking at me with disgust in her eyes, I guessed she saw me as dirt"So...let me guess he brought a new one right...the powe

    It didn't take a while after I was done, it took a while and a lot of throwing clothes around to find something decent. Forget that I didn't even realize I had all the indecent clothes hence I decided to go for a white t-shirt with some random decor on the front and I tied it at my belly a little just to make it less baggy and a lacey skirt which reached above my knees. This was perfect, I smiled as I tied my wet hair carelessly in a bun and wiped my face to go. Looking outside the window, it was even darker than before hence I rushed out of my room and like a genius I was. I quickly found my way to the stairs and ran down the long staircase until I got down "Study room study room" I muttered looking around like a confused soul and like a fool I turned to where Victor had gone earlier, there was no one around, how strange

    "This is a small, well-written contract... it's legal and it will last for nine months...sign it and you become my surrogate officially," he said, keeping his eyes on me and like a stubborn girl I was. I didn't look away and I swore I saw a flicker of amusement in his eyes but again he was great at hiding his emotionsI was amused by his personality 'Damn he was a shrewd man and just possessed the right qualities for a businessman...no wonder he was wealthy' i thought mentally and waited for him to finish"For the next nine months you'll be my responsibility...and you will be the baby's responsibility...make me proud and I'll reward you handsomely Ms. Payton…" he went on and explained whatever he had in mind. I was surprised at how bossy he was. He was treating this whole thing like some business deal. You benefit, I benefit that kind of mentality.

    (Vivienne)I sat there by the edge of the seat fiddling with my hands which felt too cold like I was sitting in a cold room. The VC was going through some files when I came in and he asked me to wait for a while. Looking at him he wasn't as scary as most students said he was. I met him countless times in these three eyes at his house when Alexis invited me and so far he was a kind man.He looked just like Alexis, especially her black hair although Alexis took her mom's blue eyes. Surprisingly she had eyes just like mine but I shook my head as I waited for him to finish upAfter some time he carefully shoved some files away and closed his laptop and took off his specs and set them aside"Welcome Miss Payton," he said, rubbing his hands together. His voice was low and calm which made me relax as I exhaled silently and nodded with a warm smile"I'm surprised about you...you are wonderful...as you know our school is nothing but the best in the region," he said as he looked at me with a bl

    (Vivienne)"Ahh...now I feel worthless," Leo said with a cute pout while holding out a spoonful of ice cream. I laughed hard seeing how ridiculous he looked with such a face. For a 32 years old man. He was supposed to be better than this but the man was still the same. Playful like a child"I saw it...I mean is it real?"I asked again, I had a chance to watch one of the movie scenes he was shooting here. I didn't know the man was such a sweetie sexy seductor"It's called acting...it's fiction... whatever I do has nothing to do with my real self," he said defensively and I gave him the eye. No one would believe it when I saw how he was touching and kissing his co-star. It was so real, especially when they kissed. I felt shy watching him"I don't believe you okay...I saw and believed it"I simply said and ate my ice cream. Leo just looked at me with a blank expression. There was amusement and delight as if he was trying to understand me and I stopped not sure why his gaze made me feel unc

    (Vivienne)"Why is he so difficult?"Alexis asked as we rushed for classes. We were so late and Mr. Whitlock was a ridiculous professor. He didn't tolerate late coming and of course, he gave difficult exams...forget tests and assignments which were like he didn't have a heart"It's cool he's just preparing us for our future," I said, fixing my hair. I was a total mess. I was only wearing blue skinny jeans with a blue tank top and some sneakers. My hair looked like a bird's nest because I didn't blow dry it but just washed it and applied conditioner to soften it"Come on, let's hurry or it will be a full lecture on being late which would apply to our resume, "Alexis said sarcastically and I wanted to laugh because her words made no sense. But I understood her unlike me, she was the center of it all. Being the vice Chancellor's daughter wasn't easy.

Vivienne or just Vivie" he added and showed a photo of Vivienne. Of course, he didn't know if the baby could even see or recognize the picture he was showing her. She was just three months old"Come on Sky focus," he said, sounding a little coy as he sat there. His niece was in a world of her own. But she looked really cute in her pink romper with pink socks and a cute headband with a ribbon attached to it. She was giggling and moving around with her tiny little hands grabbing things and fighting to get her tiny fingers in her mouth"Okay...we are on our fourth session of knowing Vivienne...she's cute with eyes like yours...not sure why but you have beautiful eyes just like her, "Kyan said, making a thinking face as he looked at a pic of Vivienne then his niece.

It was early in the afternoon, the day was crisp and sunny. Although it was a little windy which made my hair blow around disturbing my peace I didn't mind as I stood there staring at the brochure in my hand. I looked around the busy streets. The lady I asked at the restaurant told me this was where the public library was. I would have used the one at the University but I decided to

The lady looked at me for a while and continued her work"Vacation or…""School" I replied without delay and the woman glanced up then shrugged. I didn't know why she did that but I didn't care as I stood there waiting for my ticket. I was lucky the plane to the US hasn't left yet. It has been an hour since I got here. I had everything ready to go but just needed to confirm the tickets and it was taking longer than I expected"Are you okay Ms?" the lady asked, not sure why but I was fine, just a little cold. I didn't know why it was this cold now of all days. I was wearing black leggings with ankle boots as well as a long-sleeved sweater that reached up to my neck and a brown long coat to keep warm but still, I could feel the wind blowing around"I'm fine please, "I remarked distantly, trying, by all means, to keep her off.

I wanted so badly to open my eyes and see where I was unfortunately they seemed glued and wouldn't open"Ahh!"I tried to shift a little and when I moved my hand. I felt a sharp pain that made me his and kept my hand still. My head was spinning and when I flickered my eyes opened. I could only see blurry visions and it took blinking multiple times to finally adjust to the Bright Light of the strange room I found myself in"Well you are awake" I heard a small female melodious voice and suddenly a nurse was standing before me. She was smiling at me which made me wonder. I was so lost to find myself in the white-painted room which smelled like medicine and a mixture of certain cleaning agents"W...what happened here?"I managed to voice out the words but hearing myself, I sounded so restrained as if I had lost my voice at some point"
