Michael sucked his mouth, âOk, use hersâ. He pointed at me. âHowever, the baby is mine and would have a billionaireâs taste,âhe added.The Doctor and his team didnât mind his speech anymore. They are all used to his proud talks within their few hours stay. I kept mute and watched him speak anyhow.My stepmother or her daughter didnât bother to check on me to ask how all is going. I didnât mind them. I count it as if I have no family. The ones I had are in heaven watching over me.âExcuse us Miss Wendy, Mr Michael letâs go to the other room to get your spermâ,The doctor led him off. Some tests were run on me. An injection was inserted into my body. It was painful as I laid on the bed staring at the ceiling.The process took over an hour extra. Then, it was finally done. The doctor called us together. âCongratulations to your both as the process has been carried out. We await positive results from now onâ. âI really canât wait to carry my bundle of joy in my handsâ,Michael blushed. The
He noticed I was chasing after him, he walked faster to his room. âWait!, wait!!,âI 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 itâs closed, all my effort will be wasted. He didnât bother to lock it, he walked to his bed.He laid facing the ceiling, âGet out from my bedroomâ. He was shaking his legs continuously. I knelt down beside his bed. âAm sorry, donât call your dad to call it offâ. He sat up, crossed his legs and faced me. âIs it the first time we are ever having fun? Or, do I say "is it the first time I am making life with you?â.Coyly, I answered, âNo, I was just tired and needed rest. Since the doctor had inserted the injection. I need to get some restâ. Michael scoffed, âWell, I canât get a good sleep until I satisfy myselfâ.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
âWhat!â 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. âYou made them leave b****â. 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. âAm here to tell you, I canât get out of this place except to be driven out by a residentâI uttered.His facial expressions squeezed his nose, âI am not a resident but the owner of itâ. I hissed, âAm not here for any boastful words. I need to get out of this place filled with filthâ.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 thatâ. 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. âIf you need more juice feel free to get it,âVal said from the kitchen.I went to join her in the kitchen. âYou donât need to grab your juice and go sit somewhere in the sitting room,âValerie said to me. I shaked my head, âstaying here with you will make me feel better , I donât want to sit alone there. Let me join you here,âI insisted.Valerie stood akimbo, âYou are sure you want to do this?â. I nodded, âYes, I am sure. Am okay helping out in the kitchen hereâ. Valerie moved closer to me, she rubbed my back,âYou have always been strong, I know itâ. I smiled and start washing the used plates.We made spaghetti, chicken stew, and chopped hotdog. Valerie chuckled,âI didnât ask because I know your favoriteâ. I laughed. We packed the food to the diner table. She removed three plates. I was curious, âWho else is in the house with us?â.I asked because itâs ju
âNo, let her continue. I want to hear it allâ,I insisted. Val looked at Brown, âBrown, she is ready to hear it. Let us spill it outâ.Brown and Val moved closer to me, they held my two hands. Brown started, âWe held about your fatherâs demiseâ. 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, âWe were all sad about the news. Till, mom received a message from the high society women association. Where your stepmom also belongsâ.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, âThe message in the high society womenâs group was that your stepmother Mrs Helen Jerkin was soliciting for help to pay the familyâs debtâ.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, âYou all know how proud my stepmother is, can we just leave her and concentrate on the cooking?â. Val shakes her head, âLetâs hear how she got so influential to clear the huge debt in five daysâ.Brown added, âYes, letâs hear about itâ. I scratched my hair, âI donât really think itâs necessary. Letâs get a job. I need to earn my own moneyâ. I was looking for all ways to distract them from listening to the interview.Brown twitched his mouth, âSpeaking 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 weekâ.I giggled, âThank you Val, Thank you Brown, you both are helping me find my new life. I appreciateâ. 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 didnât understand why Michael reacted that way. âAre you alright sir?âshe asked. Michael was panting and he raised his face like a zombie towards Laila.He roars,âWhen I fix this I will answer that questionâ. His voice sounds thicker. Laila felt like melting away. She doesnât like to witness his anger.Laila bows slightly,âCan I go back to my seat now sirâ. Michael eyed her, âdid you see her with anyone there?â. The question he asked has been answered earlier and there is a repetition of it.Laila exhaled and repeated her answer, âShe works there, she was not waiting for anyoneâ. Michael nods severally, biting his lower lips. âOk, thank you. You can leave. Go back to your postâ.He paced around the office, he didn't want to call Doctor Mason. He hasnât 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. âThe debt has been paid what else could it be with these rich folksâ. Helen couldnât guess right the reason for the call.âBest bet is I pick up to hear what he has to sayâHelen 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. âHello sir, I was doing something when you called. Hope no problem?â.Denzel went straight to the reason he called. âWhere is the girl?. Well, thatâs not necessary. Tell her to get her things packed, we are moving her away till she gives us a grandchildâ.Helenâs eyes pry everywhere. She has no answer to my whereabouts. She hid under the next statement Denzel said. Helen scoffs,âWill tell her to start packing up right awayâ.âBetter, Michael will call her. He's picking her up tonightâDenzel said. Helen nods, âWill get her readyâ. Denzel chuckled, âit will be
The labor pains were too much and unbearable. My water broke, Michael started and didn't know what to do for a few seconds. âSir, letâs take her to the hospitalâ, Olivia said. He carried me breathing hard. âSir, let me help you, is she not heavy?âThe chauffeur said. âNo, she is carrying my child. She is not heavy and I love her,âHe 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. âI am done forâ. âI want to urinateâ. âThe pain is unbearableâ. 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 couldnât. 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. âDonât let her into my officeâHe told Laila. Immediately, Laila stood guard in front of her boss's office. She could hear Roxanaâs voice shouting as she approached the office. âWhere is the loser?. I will give you a few days. Have your count down you will be off hereâShe boasted.As she made her way to his office Laila stopped her. âI am sure, you donât want to get into a fight with me,âshe frowned. âMrs Carter, you can not enter thereâLaila said. She pulled Laila off the road. Laila staggered to regain her balance she ran after her and pulled her back.She slapped Lailaâs face. âHow dare you touch my expensive body with your filthy hands?âShe yelled. Laila held her cheeks as it stings. Michael heard Roxana slap Laila. He came out of his offic
âIf that will please you. I will do it,âMichael replied. He wasnât willing to argue with Roxana. He knows she has always been jealous of me. Roxana smiled, âGoodâ. âYou know I love you so much. And I will do anything for youâMichael said. âI love you too. Letâs get to sleep. We have to be early for the family breakfast tomorrowâ,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 doesnât want me to go far away from the house because of his child. He didnât sleep early that night. âMy grandfatherâs house. Is it the safest and comfortable for her to stay with my child,âHe 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. âHello everyone, Roxana said she doesnât 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 doesnât 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 doesnât need to prolong issues or look further. Her final finds will be with Michaelâs phone. âItâs fine you all can leave thank youâ,Roxana dismisses the gathering.There was nothing to think about again further. She knows nothing about Michael's job. She was only there as itâs 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. âHello Mrs Roxana CarterâAnn teased her friend. âAnn, stop being naughty,âRoxana laughed. It
Michael sighed, âOk sir. Thank you sirâ. âGood son, you can take your leave now,âLawrence said. Michael hugged his father and took his leave. He joined Rosie in the sitting room. âWhat happened?. Any problem?âShe inquired. âNo, he was only lecturing me on how to take great care of youâMichael lied.Roxana laughed and they left. They hopped into the waiting car and left for Lawrence court expansion. âWelcome to your humble abode my beautiful RosieâMichael announced. Roxana looked around like it was her first time in the house.âOf course Itâs mineâ,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 didnât say anything. âMrs Carter, I am okay now. Hope you are good?â. 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. âMy outfit will be ready next month with my husband and father inlawâMichelle said proudly. âOurs would be ready next month also. Our guest list is prepared,âMrs 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. âRosie, I am really sorry. Next two months. I canât wait for you to be Mrs Carterâ,Michael pleaded.âOk. I have heard. I really canât wait also,âRoxana 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. âMeans I canât quit my job?âshe asked. âYou canât. Except you want to face jail terms or wait till after the two compulsory yearsâCharles told her.She was caught in the middle of a hard task and doesnât know what to do. She was disappointed in herself and doesnât 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 doesnât 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.âGet a letter sent to Grace Jenkins tomorrow telling her to stop work on the company and never set foot there else she would be suedâMichael instructed the lawyer.
Everyone went silent. Michael didnât 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, âWendy used her influence to jail meâ. Grace couldnât 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
âThis could be a misinterpretation. I didnât do anything. She was the one who came to attack me hereâHelen 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.âMichael, really, this is really happening?âShe 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 didnât go to Michaelâs office at all and didnât wait for him by the close of the hour.
