He noticed I was chasing after him, he walked faster to his room. “Wait!, wait!!,”I screamed as I raced after him. He was about to close the door and I doubled my race. I pushed the door with all my strength.The door was the thin line between me and the debt. If it’s closed, all my effort will be wasted. He didn’t bother to lock it, he walked to his bed.He laid facing the ceiling, “Get out from my bedroom”. He was shaking his legs continuously. I knelt down beside his bed. “Am sorry, don’t call your dad to call it off”. He sat up, crossed his legs and faced me. “Is it the first time we are ever having fun? Or, do I say "is it the first time I am making life with you?”.Coyly, I answered, “No, I was just tired and needed rest. Since the doctor had inserted the injection. I need to get some rest”. Michael scoffed, “Well, I can’t get a good sleep until I satisfy myself”.I sighed, there is no amount of talk that would make him let go of me. Gently, I climbed the bed laid beside him. I
“What!” I screamed. I shut my eyes quickly at what a shameless man he is. I feel disgusted. Even though I am a surrogate mom. My eggs were used for his sperm to fertilize it. The child is still part of me.The girls were startled, they picked their dresses and fled. Michael frowned his face as he saw me. “You made them leave b****”. He shouted at me as he got a tiny piece of cloth around his waist.My face shows I was disgusted, sleeping with his house helpers shows he is not a man of dignity. “Am here to tell you, I can’t get out of this place except to be driven out by a resident”I uttered.His facial expressions squeezed his nose, “I am not a resident but the owner of it”. I hissed, “Am not here for any boastful words. I need to get out of this place filled with filth”.Michael formed his hand into a blow, he punched the air. I would have landed that on you. But for the sake of my unborn child I save that”. I eyed him, a cheap man always looking for ways to boast of his wealth.Am
She handed me a handkerchief, and I wiped my face. Val moved to the kitchen, let me fix you something to eat. I sat quietly sobbing. “If you need more juice feel free to get it,”Val said from the kitchen.I went to join her in the kitchen. “You don’t need to grab your juice and go sit somewhere in the sitting room,”Valerie said to me. I shaked my head, “staying here with you will make me feel better , I don’t want to sit alone there. Let me join you here,”I insisted.Valerie stood akimbo, “You are sure you want to do this?”. I nodded, “Yes, I am sure. Am okay helping out in the kitchen here”. Valerie moved closer to me, she rubbed my back,“You have always been strong, I know it”. I smiled and start washing the used plates.We made spaghetti, chicken stew, and chopped hotdog. Valerie chuckled,“I didn’t ask because I know your favorite”. I laughed. We packed the food to the diner table. She removed three plates. I was curious, “Who else is in the house with us?”.I asked because it’s ju
“No, let her continue. I want to hear it all”,I insisted. Val looked at Brown, “Brown, she is ready to hear it. Let us spill it out”.Brown and Val moved closer to me, they held my two hands. Brown started, “We held about your father’s demise”. I blinked with my eyes consecutively. Trying to conceal the tears that are about to find its way out of my eyelids and down to my cheeks.He exhaled and continued, “We were all sad about the news. Till, mom received a message from the high society women association. Where your stepmom also belongs”.I twitched my mouth, I am waiting for the worst, my secret has been played on the big screen to them. My breath increased. I gnashed my teeth. Val signaled to Brown to continue. Brown monitored my expression and continued, “The message in the high society women’s group was that your stepmother Mrs Helen Jerkin was soliciting for help to pay the family’s debt”.Yes!, that sounds like I have been hit with a bomb, I have been blown to pieces. I lost my
The thought that the whole world is about to hear about my surrogacy. I had to think of something real quick to prevent the secret from leaking.I cleared my throat, “You all know how proud my stepmother is, can we just leave her and concentrate on the cooking?”. Val shakes her head, “Let’s hear how she got so influential to clear the huge debt in five days”.Brown added, “Yes, let’s hear about it”. I scratched my hair, “I don’t really think it’s necessary. Let’s get a job. I need to earn my own money”. I was looking for all ways to distract them from listening to the interview.Brown twitched his mouth, “Speaking of that, a lady is pregnant and had to resign this week. You can resume by the end of this week. So, you work with her and fully resume by next week”.I giggled, “Thank you Val, Thank you Brown, you both are helping me find my new life. I appreciate”. I hugged them one after the other.My few minutes of joy disappeared when I heard Brown talk about the interview. Brown state
The action shook Laila, she froze for a second. She didn’t understand why Michael reacted that way. “Are you alright sir?”she asked. Michael was panting and he raised his face like a zombie towards Laila.He roars,“When I fix this I will answer that question”. His voice sounds thicker. Laila felt like melting away. She doesn’t like to witness his anger.Laila bows slightly,“Can I go back to my seat now sir”. Michael eyed her, “did you see her with anyone there?”. The question he asked has been answered earlier and there is a repetition of it.Laila exhaled and repeated her answer, “She works there, she was not waiting for anyone”. Michael nods severally, biting his lower lips. “Ok, thank you. You can leave. Go back to your post”.He paced around the office, he didn't want to call Doctor Mason. He hasn’t been in support of me leaving their care. It was Denzel that backed up Michael for me to leave because of Roxana.He scratched his table with his fingers. He had to do something real q
Helen closed her eyes, cracking her brain trying to guess what Denzel was calling her for. “The debt has been paid what else could it be with these rich folks”. Helen couldn’t guess right the reason for the call.“Best bet is I pick up to hear what he has to say”Helen said to herself. The phone stopped ringing. She felt a leap of joy in her. Her joy disappeared soon.Denzel rings her phone again. She rolled her eyes and picked up. “Hello sir, I was doing something when you called. Hope no problem?”.Denzel went straight to the reason he called. “Where is the girl?. Well, that’s not necessary. Tell her to get her things packed, we are moving her away till she gives us a grandchild”.Helen’s eyes pry everywhere. She has no answer to my whereabouts. She hid under the next statement Denzel said. Helen scoffs,“Will tell her to start packing up right away”.“Better, Michael will call her. He's picking her up tonight”Denzel said. Helen nods, “Will get her ready”. Denzel chuckled, “it will be
Helen shivers as she reads the message. “What has Wendy got us into?”Grace cried. Helen fidget till the phone fell off her hand. Grace picked her mother's phone up,“Mommy, your phone fell”.Helen started sobbing, “I should have kept her home. I should have not allowed her to run away”. All her words were filled with regrets. Grace screamed at her, “she wasn’t in bondage here. She only wants to leave”.Helen yells back, “Then she can leave and not put me into trouble. Where do I get to see such a huge amount to pay back”. Grace felt sorry for screaming at her mother. She did all to protect her and not to lose the house.All Helen had done was in support of her child. Grace pat her mother’s back, “We will find her when the day breaks”. Helen wiped her face, “Are you sure?. Do you know where she can be?”.Grace nods, “Yes, we will go to the same Brown and Val restaurant to wait on her”. That is a hopeful word. Helen stopped crying. She moved to her room, Grace followed her.Grace said, “
The labor pains were too much and unbearable. My water broke, Michael started and didn't know what to do for a few seconds. “Sir, let’s take her to the hospital”, Olivia said. He carried me breathing hard. “Sir, let me help you, is she not heavy?”The chauffeur said. “No, she is carrying my child. She is not heavy and I love her,”He said with a straight face.He carried me to the car himself. He laid me at the back seat, he placed my head on his lap. Olivia sat beside the chauffeur. I was groaning in pain as we headed to the hospital. I was feeling cold and hot at the same time. It got to a stage where I feel like death was waving at me.I held on to Michael's clothes screaming and crying. “I am done for”. “I want to urinate”. “The pain is unbearable”. I was talking and crying. Michael kept telling me sorry uncountable times till we got to the hospital. I was rushed in for an emergency.I tried birthing the child myself but I couldn’t. Michael called his parents to tell them I was in
The attitude pissed off Michael. He was so embarrassed he had to leave the scene. He has never been disgraced in front of his workers like that ever.Roxana stormed after him to his office. Michael was able to walk faster than her to his office. “Don’t let her into my office”He told Laila. Immediately, Laila stood guard in front of her boss's office. She could hear Roxana’s voice shouting as she approached the office. “Where is the loser?. I will give you a few days. Have your count down you will be off here”She boasted.As she made her way to his office Laila stopped her. “I am sure, you don’t want to get into a fight with me,”she frowned. “Mrs Carter, you can not enter there”Laila said. She pulled Laila off the road. Laila staggered to regain her balance she ran after her and pulled her back.She slapped Laila’s face. “How dare you touch my expensive body with your filthy hands?”She yelled. Laila held her cheeks as it stings. Michael heard Roxana slap Laila. He came out of his offic
“If that will please you. I will do it,”Michael replied. He wasn’t willing to argue with Roxana. He knows she has always been jealous of me. Roxana smiled, “Good”. “You know I love you so much. And I will do anything for you”Michael said. “I love you too. Let’s get to sleep. We have to be early for the family breakfast tomorrow”,Roxana said. They went to bed.Michael was thinking of how to go about the request Roxana is asking him. A part of him loves me. He doesn’t want me to go far away from the house because of his child. He didn’t sleep early that night. “My grandfather’s house. Is it the safest and comfortable for her to stay with my child,”He said to himself.He thought all through the night about how to go about the request. He could hardly sleep. His thought was going wild. He finally got to sleep.They came over for breakfast on Sunday morning as usual. Before breakfast started, Michael announced on the table. “Hello everyone, Roxana said she doesn’t want Wendy staying in the
Roxana knew it was Grace Jenkins the cleaner was referring to. For Laila not to talk. She was taking side with her boss. She doesn’t want to lose her job. I kept mute for a while.Obviously, Michael is cheating on her with Grace. She got the facts she needed. She doesn’t need to prolong issues or look further. Her final finds will be with Michael’s phone. “It’s fine you all can leave thank you”,Roxana dismisses the gathering.There was nothing to think about again further. She knows nothing about Michael's job. She was only there as it’s the tradition of the Carter to always make their wives the managing director. She is only good in her make-up field.She rested her back and called Ann as it was the plan between both of them to get rid of all the side ladies when she resumes power and to divorce after a few months.Ann picked up her phone as soon as she saw it was Roxana that was calling her. “Hello Mrs Roxana Carter”Ann teased her friend. “Ann, stop being naughty,”Roxana laughed. It
Michael sighed, “Ok sir. Thank you sir”. “Good son, you can take your leave now,”Lawrence said. Michael hugged his father and took his leave. He joined Rosie in the sitting room. “What happened?. Any problem?”She inquired. “No, he was only lecturing me on how to take great care of you”Michael lied.Roxana laughed and they left. They hopped into the waiting car and left for Lawrence court expansion. “Welcome to your humble abode my beautiful Rosie”Michael announced. Roxana looked around like it was her first time in the house.“Of course It’s mine”,she said proudly. Michael laughed ignorantly at Roxana's words. The manager of soulmate beach reached out to Michael to enable them to publicize the wedding to the public. The wedding videos and pictures had not been heard and kept away from the public.Michael authorized it to be blown out to the public. The very night the videos and pictures were released to the public. It gained ten million views in six hours before the day breaks. The so
Rosie looked at Michael and liked what a liar he is. She kept quiet and didn’t say anything. “Mrs Carter, I am okay now. Hope you are good?”. Before Michelle could reply it was time for breakfast to start.No one talked about it anymore. They started breakfast as usual. We all ate. After breakfast I know I have no business with them as the gathering specifically was for the marriage discussion.They all move to the garden to have a better discussion about the wedding. “My outfit will be ready next month with my husband and father inlaw”Michelle said proudly. “Ours would be ready next month also. Our guest list is prepared,”Mrs Briggs said smiling.Mr Briggs and Denzel left the women to have other discussions somewhere else. Roxana and Michael moved away from their parents also to have their discussions. “Rosie, I am really sorry. Next two months. I can’t wait for you to be Mrs Carter”,Michael pleaded.“Ok. I have heard. I really can’t wait also,”Roxana said. She smiled and pecked him.
Obviously, Grace was ashamed of herself to tell Charles what she had done all in the name of pleasing Michael. “Means I can’t quit my job?”she asked. “You can’t. Except you want to face jail terms or wait till after the two compulsory years”Charles told her.She was caught in the middle of a hard task and doesn’t know what to do. She was disappointed in herself and doesn’t know how to face Michael and Laila at work.Michael had begun to process how to recover my company back to me and take it away from my step mother and step sister. He heard Helen swear to sue and also Grace saying the same thing. He doesn’t want them to win over me.Before we went to beg that night he called the lawyer over to Lawrence court. I was asked to narrate everything and I told the lawyer about how the company was originally for my mother and I.“Get a letter sent to Grace Jenkins tomorrow telling her to stop work on the company and never set foot there else she would be sued”Michael instructed the lawyer.
Everyone went silent. Michael didn’t care about how the look Grace gave him. He was only after getting justice for me and to stop Helen threatening me. The lawyers from both sides argue for some minutes. The evidence of Helen pushing me away was shown to the Judge and my medical report after I was taken to the hospital.The judge ruled out a month imprisonment for Helen. The judgement broke her heart. She has never been to a police precinct before talking more of staying there over the night and being charged to court and being imprisoned.She was bittered by the sentence. She screamed in the court, “Wendy used her influence to jail me”. Grace couldn’t hold herself together. She burst into tears. Tears ran down her cheeks uncontrollably. She hit deeper into her lower lips. What a terrible day for her.Definitely, one of the worst days of their lives. Helen cried as the cops escorted her to the waiting vehicle to take her to the prison. Grace races to meet up with her mother. She held
“This could be a misinterpretation. I didn’t do anything. She was the one who came to attack me here”Helen yells as she enters the police van. Her workers looked on. When she got to the police precinct Michael was there. Helen was shocked when she saw him. Her hope was for Michael to support him and be against me but the case was in another view. I was the one winning over her.“Michael, really, this is really happening?”She threatened. Michael tabled all she did and some of the cops came to the hospital to see me. They even speak with the nurse who directs them to doctor Mason.He shed more light on it which implicates Helen more. With no further ado. She was detained and soon he charged. Michael used his power to ensure she is granted bail. No one called Grace at the office to tell her anything had happened to her mother.She works at her department to continue the creation of another robot. She didn’t go to Michael’s office at all and didn’t wait for him by the close of the hour.
