I woke up to the sound of my baby son’s cry. He was lying next to me on the bed, wrapped in a blue blanket. I looked at his tiny face and felt a surge of love and protectiveness. I had not given him a name yet, because I was still in a state of confusion and turmoil. The house was tense and hostile, as Bianca, the woman who claimed to be his mother, was trying to take him away from me.Bianca had hired me as a surrogate for her and her husband, Henry. She had given me a contract to sign, which stated that I would give up all rights to the child after birth. But I had not read the fine print, and I did not know that she had also inserted a clause that said I would have no contact with the child or the father. She had tricked me into signing away my son.But I was not going to let her have him. He was mine, and I loved him more than anything. I had carried him for nine months, felt his kicks and movements, endured the pain of labor and delivery. Bianca had not been there for any of it. S
“Please,” she said as I was about to walk away. She grabbed my hand and I yanked it out of her grasp. I turned back shortly to look at her with pity and contempt. “What did you say?” I asked mockingly.“I’m sorry, I don’t want this to get out to the public. OK? I will make sure that I leave, I will drop all charges against you both and I will just disappear. Just don’t let anyone know about this, please.” She pleaded with a trembling voice.My face formed into a wicked grin. “Of course, my love, that is all I wanted you to say. Anyways, I’ll see you in court and that is the last time I will see you.” I said with a smirk and walked away, knowing that I had won yet again.……..“No, really, Jane, I really need to thank you for all that you’ve done for me these past few days. I really thought that I was going to lose everything. Thank you so much. How did you do it?” Henry said while I was laughing as though it wasn’t anything serious. And I didn’t want to reveal my secrets to him, at lea
“Of course, I will marry you. Come on, Henry, you know I would. All these months, close to a year or two that I’ve known you, I’ve never dreamed of anything other than getting married to you, other than sealing the deal with you. Come on, you know I love you so much.” I said with conviction and he looked at me with such loved-up eyes and then we both kissed for a very long time. He was already starting to touch me in places that I loved to be touched when I remembered that we had a baby because the baby started crying.“Oh shoot! We still have a baby!” I shouted while he laughed.“Yeah it can be difficult getting the hang of it especially now that we are about to be a new couple,” he said giving me a kiss on my cheek while I blushed.“Yeah, I can’t wait to tell Mama,” he said excitedly while I giggled.Little did he know that his mother was the mastermind who engineered the entire plan. But the plan worked out faster and easier than we thought it would so it was a bonus for us that
“Jane, please. She’s still your mother. Don’t speak to her in that manner,” Henry said and I shot him a very stern glare.“And who do you think you are to tell me how to treat my mother?!” I asked him angrily and just then my baby woke up.“You see? This baby is supposed to be asleep but this witch of a woman just came here and destroyed everything! Who asked you to go to my baby’s room?!” I shouted at her and soon my baby started crying.“Agh!! Fuck you!” I shouted and stomped my feet all the way to the bedroom where my baby slept.I started rocking the child and started tearing up as well. I was extra emotional even after giving birth and now my mother was here to make things bad for me. Luckily, my child fell asleep fast and I carefully dropped him in his cradle and turned on his favorite sleep sound, and I watched him sleep for a couple of minutes. When I was satisfied, I walked carefully out the door and quietly shut the door before walking back to the living room where I saw m
“Who’s unto you?” I asked because I was already a little bit concerned about her and I knew how dangerous those people were.She looked terrified as she was narrating it. She didn’t want to leave my house. She kept looking around as though someone was truly following her. Her attitude was already making me scared to my bones. “Talk to me! Who the fuck is unto you?!” I thundered grabbing her by the arm. I was already fully agitated and very angry that I was sure Henry had never seen me that way before in his life.I could see him at the corner of my eye trying to calm me down but I wasn’t going to hear it.“Listen to me! You can’t just bring trouble to my door and expect me not to get mad! Or expect me to let you go like that!” I thundered making her flinch but she wasn’t even budging.“I’m so sorry Jane, I didn’t mean to!” She pleaded crying and that was when I heard a glass shatter and the sound was coming from my baby’s room.My heart skipped two beats as I dashed right into the ro
The next few days were hell for me as I kept dreaming terrible dreams and I missed my baby so much!Henry on his own was all night every night having countless sleepless nights just in a bid to find the kidnappers.My mind often wondered and raced to who would actually want to do that to me. My actual family members wouldn’t want that and from my history with people, my gym instructor may want me dead because he lied to me about having childrenMy mind often wondered about Rick and how he was caring. I had no idea because he never reached out to me. I tried to pick up my phone many times just to tell him that I was not okay and my child was missing but Henry insisted that we had no phones and no internet connection at certain times in the housesIn the house, you may ask? I moved into one of my proprieties with Henry and it has been hell for me.I didn’t seem to like anything about the house from the door handle to the furniture to the stupid wall gecko in the kitchen! I couldn’t han
Eating was now a very long and terrible chore for me. I swear If it were left for me, I wouldn’t bother myself with anything to eat or drink as I now hated food with so much passion.“Baby please I beg you. You need your strength for this. Please eat something,” Henry would plead with me on several occasions and I would just shrug.He knew that the only reason why I would even think of eating at all was if they would give me the strength to fight again.I always had it at the back of my mind while eating. “You’re doing this for your baby,” I kept telling myself while forcing that one last piece of eggs down your throat.I was already very pale and frail even with the fact that I was eating the way Henry wanted me to.Well, I guess depression really does make one lose a lot of weight.“Do you think my baby is dead?” I asked randomly again and I could tell that Henry was already tired of answering that question and just needed a fucking break even from me as I could be a lot.I knew tha
“Baby… relax okay? I understand how you feel completely. And I don’t expect you to believe me but I do. I feel your pain and it breaks me to see you this way everyday. We can work this out,” he said and that actually made me a little bit calm.I took in a deep breath and breathed out again, looking around me as though someone else was in the room asides us.I didn’t know why but it just felt really weird, my surroundings. I felt like I was constantly watched. The doctor said it was PTSD and it was going to stop and I believed him but it was slowly driving me nuts.“I have to be strong for my baby,” I muttered lowly to myself while Henry bowed his head watching me. I knew it broke him but I couldn’t help it.“What are your men saying? Any progress?” I asked in anticipation while he shook his head sadly.My heart broke for the umpteenth time knowing that some crazy people were with my child and there was nothing I could do about it.I was sitting on the couch, sipping my cup of juice an
