The Surrogacy Secret Imani
Famke was exhausted. Not only had they gone shopping, and skating, and to see the Christmas tree, but Precious had dragged them on a walk all through Central Park and to her favorite restaurant she used to go with her Daddy.Bram had entered the house, told Famke he’d see her tomorrow, and went straight to his room and closed the door. They weren’t used to spending this much time with strangers and she knew his head was likely pounding from the over-exposure to an excitable child. She had caught him more than once staring at her with a sad look on his face and she knew he was feeling guilty. Prince Robinson had paid for his treatment and in exchange she had given him a child. A child she had only met in person a very brief time ago and a fool could see Famke was growing incredibly attached to her.She hadn’t made up her mind on what to do yet. Giving up her life to move to New York to parent a child she didn’t know with a man she didn’t know for a family she didn’t know was the height
The Surrogacy Secret Putting Mom In Her Place
Royal expelled a shaky breath and turned on his mother, “are you happy now? Do you see what you’ve done?”“You slept with her?”“Yes! I did. I like her mom. I like her more than anyone I have liked in an exceptionally long time. I like how the minute she walks into a room the air is lighter and the mood is lifted. I like she can stand on her own two feet, and it doesn’t matter how horrible things are going for her, she’ll stop to help someone in need. I’ve been watching her for six damn weeks at Keshaun’s café through the video surveillance system he allows me to tune into and I had an investigator watching her. All I am constantly seeing is the good she does.”“Like what?”“She and Cesar have been taking turns bringing their day-old products to the nearby soup kitchen on their morning breaks. It’s giving Keshaun good publicity but it’s simply a good thing to do and it was her idea. She doesn’t back down from anyone but she’s polite and sweet. She’s strong and resilient and the love s
The Surrogacy Secret Talk
Famke came out of her shower and sat on the edge of her bed wishing her heart wasn’t breaking. Already she had fallen in love with the little girl sleeping a few feet away and the notion of walking away from her was killing her inside. But she reminded herself, for what felt the millionth time, she was never meant to be her mother. Even if Prince and Mindy had allowed her to be part of Precious’ life, it was never meant to be in a way she could be in her life as a parent or guardian.A quiet knock on the door made her spine straighten. “Go away, Royal.” She kept her voice low so Precious wouldn’t wake.“I can’t, Famke. Please can we talk.” His voice was equally low. “I’ll sit out here all night if I have to, but I won’t be going anywhere until we talk.”“I don’t want to.”“I know. I don’t blame you after what you heard downstairs, but I would very much like to talk.” The breath he took was audible, “baby, please, I’m begging you. Let me in.”She got off the bed and moved to the door s
The Surrogacy Secret Negotiations
Famke stood nervously looking at Royal her heart thundering in her chest. “I’m so confused.”“I know. It’s been a hell of a few weeks.”“Nearly seven,” she grumbled as he toyed with her fingers. “You’ve been bullying and hounding me for seven weeks.”“You need to get used to it. I want to do it forever.”“You throw the word forever around a lot. What if you find out we are incompatible, and you end up wanting a divorce?”“Only one couple in either my mother or father’s families have ever gotten a divorce and it was my mom’s sister. Her husband smacked her around one time. She divorced him and then under a year later, married the cop who had arrested him the night he beat her up. We don’t do divorce in this family. We work shit out.”“What if we can’t. I don’t want to be in a situation like Prince and Mindy. What if you find yourself as trapped as he was?”He sighed frustratedly, “we’ll sign a prenup which will protect you and your interests with Precious. You will have to agree to joi
The Surrogacy Secret Bedtime
She snuggled up next to Royal in his bed and rested her head against his chest. He yawned loudly causing her to giggle.“Rough day?”“The roughest,” he chuckled. “If someone had told me six months ago, I’d be parenting the tornado we call Precious, arguing with my mother about how much of a meddlesome bitch she can be, finding out the woman of my dreams is one my brother wanted for himself and seducing her despite this, I would have called them insane. Yet, here I am, doing all three and I can’t lie and say I’m not emotionally exhausted.” He squeezed her, “I’m used to girls falling into my arms not fighting me tooth and nail. You’re a lot of work, Famke Noor.”“Screw you, Royal,” she nudged him with her elbow. “The best things in life are the things you’ve gotta fight for.”He laughed and hugged her tight, “I know. I also know how to work really hard. I don’t give up easy.”“I would never have guessed,” she said sarcastically.He rolled over her, resting his elbows on either side of h
The Surrogacy Secret Buoy In A Stormy Ocean
She took a cup of coffee and moved to sit at the kitchen table where Bram was putting eggs and bacon into his mouth with gusto.“Do you breathe when you eat?” she questioned with disgust on her face as he used his fork like a shovel.“Through my nose,” he didn’t even look up. “Where is Precious?”“Church. Royal took her to church with his parents.”He made a face, “when we move in here are we going to have to go to church?”She lifted her eyebrows at his question, looking at him over the rim of her coffee cup. “Excuse me?”“I mean I’ll go Easter and Christmas because Mom would have insisted but I don’t want to go every week.”“Bram,” she sighed at his comment.“Come on Famke.” He grunted at her, “you can’t leave her.”“I can’t?”“No.” He shook his head as he reached for his orange juice.“I’m not her mother,” she said quietly.“The hell you’re not.” Bram’s brown eyes flitted to hers with irritation.“You’re angry,” she observed him cautiously as he set his fork down and took a deep bre
The Surrogacy Secret Jubilee
Famke was sitting in the living area listening to music and reading a book when Royal and Precious came back from church. Her eyes roved him hungrily. He was in a suit which fit his frame exquisitely and his legs were long and lean, and she had a flash of how his legs intertwined with hers while he made love to her. She blinked rapidly and looked away, clearing her throat as the memory made her shift uncomfortably in the chair.She was about to greet them when she saw the trio coming in behind them. Nerves at the sight of Imani made her pause.“Hey, I brought stragglers home.” He carried Precious into the room where she sat.A woman, younger than her, flounced into the space and dropped into a chair opposite Famke. “So, you’re the girlfriend my brother brought back from Pittsburgh.” She looked to Royal, “taking a page out of Prince’s book and going white, huh? A warning would have been nice.”“I didn’t mention it because it isn’t important to me,” Royal shoved her forward from behind.
The Surrogacy Secret Clearing the Air
Famke was dressed but toweling off her hair in her bedroom when a knock sounded on the door. She half-wondered if it wasn’t Royal coming to steal kisses considering the way his eyes had roved over her in the bathing suit she had worn up to her room.“Come in,” she called as she rose from her bent position where she was drying her hair.“Hi.”Her eyes connected with Imani’s, and she immediately felt on edge. She had ripped into this woman the night before and deservedly so, but Famke didn’t enjoy being at odds with anyone.“Can we talk?” Imani closed the door behind her as she entered the room with a sad expression.“Sure,” she kept her guard up. Knowing how manipulative Mindy had told her Imani could be and seeing it in action the night before, she didn’t trust the woman.“I owe you an apology.”This wasn’t how she expected this to start, and she turned to give the woman her full attention after she hung the towel on the back of the bathroom door. “Yes, you do.”Imani chuckled, “I see
