Chapter 3

In the city’s capital Center lies the tallest sky scrapper in town. The building is owned by Hudson group, the biggest company in town dealing with fashion and design. It is headed by Samuel Hudson, who is the grandson of the business tycoon, Joshua Hudson.

Samuel was seated in his office, today he had a very special guest who he knew demanded so much of his attention. Even his employees were aware of that and accorded the person a good reception.

“Hello son? How are things here? His deep and confident voice vibrated in the four corners of the office.

 Joshua Hudson was the only man that Samuel bowed to because he made him who he is today. But even before he started talking he already knew what he came here to talk about. It was going to be the same old topic. “Give me an heir”

“We are doing fine grandpa, how are things over at the house?” he pretended to want to know but in real sense he avoided the family mansion as a plagued, every time his grandfather mentions about an heir to him he felt pressurized.

“Everything seems to be okay, but I am still waiting for your action. I need to make you the president of this company as soon as possible. As you can see age is not on my side. “He said and looked at Samuel desperately.

Samuel too lifted his face and observed him carefully. His grey silvery hair seemed to have increased since the day he saw him last. But still the same, he was looking healthy and fit. He never knew what gave him that glowing look.

Joshua knew that his grandson would just try to down play the topic but he was surprised that he was more calm than usual.

“Don’t worry grand pa, things are promising. I am sure that in the near future we won’t have to talk about this matter anymore” Samuel said this knowing very well that he already had a son to present to him. But he wanted it to be a surprise.

Samuel sounded mysterious but Joshua didn’t give much thought to it. Instead he felt happy that he was working on his request.

“That is good news, son. My journey here wasn’t in vain.”  He glanced at him for a while then said” I don’t care whether it is a girl or a boy, As long as the child has my blood in his veins.”

Joshua gave his grandson a wide grin and rounded the table to give him a hug. However he didn’t fail to remind him immediately” As soon as the deed is done let me know, I will prepare a big party to welcome him home”

“Very soon grand pa, sooner than you may think”

Samuel managed to put a smile on his lips, he usually doesn’t smile with anyone except this old man who never seizes to amaze him. He is his role model and he would be lost without him. Whatever he wants somehow he ended up granting it to him.

Joshua hesitated and thought that something was amiss. There was another vital thing in his mind.

“What about the mother? “He asked curiously.” I think you should bring her to me first for my blessings and then we can organize a big wedding for the two of you.”

Samuel smiled again and then stated” Don’t worry, I have planned all that well and very soon you will get to meet them” he lied.

 He hated lying to him but there was no way he was going to get married to any woman. They were all the same and will only drag him behind. That is the main reason why he chose surrogacy.

 In that way his grandfather will have the grandchild he wanted so much. And soon he will get some breathing space again. As for a wife that will remain pending until further notice.

“If you say so son” Joshua whistled happily and picked up his walking stick.” I have to go back to the mansion, but do remember that I will be waiting for the good news.”

The old man knew very well that Samuel didn’t want to get married but he is contented with him giving him a grandchild. So he lets the matter rest for now.

Samuel was relieved when his grandfather left, he breathed in deeply then picked up his phone and called the house. After a few rings he heard the maid’s voice.

“Is he okay?” the woman knew exactly who the boss was talking about. It can only be the kid he left under her care. It somehow sounded sweet because the boss was always cold, seeing him concerned about a baby was so nice.

“Yes sir”

“Make sure that you feed him well and keep him as comfortable as possible.” He directed and disconnected the phone conversation

“I understand” the maid said as she placed the phone back on the table.

5 years later Camila alighted from the plane at the Jomo Kenyatta international airport. She was looking gorgeous as the wind blew her long black hair. She wore a tight fitting black dress with a slit at the side bringing out her curvy and elegant figure.

As she wheeled her luggage to the exit gate a soft and sweet baby voice spoke from her side.

“Mommy I am happy to be home” A little girl of around 5 years was holding her hands tightly. She was a piercing image of her and Camila looked at her daughter with a smile on her face.

“Lucky, I am glad that you like this place. I am sure that we will both be very happy here, okay. I will find you a good school. You will see that you will make a lot of new friends” the girl smiled sweetly at her.

Camila then pinched her delicate cheeks softly, she usually liked to watch the beautiful dimples on her cheeks. If one thing she was sure of was that the sweet little girl took almost all of her features.
