bumped into someone

Lara stayed indoors for days. She just doesn't know where and how to pick the pieces of her life together and begin again. But she knows, that's the only option left for her. She must rise and begin again.

     Endless tears, sleepless nights have left Lara with one decision, artificial insemination. She'll have a baby, and raise him single handedly. Having a child had always been her desire and now, she'll have it without Mike or anyone else.

     She's going to prove to everyone who cares to know that she's not barren. She also can be a mother. With a decision made, Lara returned to the hospital a few days later.

     She arrived at the hospital and went to see Dr JJ. The older woman beamed with a smile when she saw Lara. She guessed that she'd made up her mind to go for the insemination as she'd advised her.

     “I am opting for the option of insemination,” Lara explained. She doesn't need Mike's sperm for an insemination, she's ready to use any active sperm from the sperm Bank.

    “That's fine. I'm sure it will yield a positive result this time. We'll have to get a vial of sperm from your husband…” Dr JJ was explaining when Lara calmly interrupted her.

     “He won't be available for that. I want to get a healthy available one from the sperm Bank” Lara requested. On her way home,she was feeling excited. In a week's time, she'll be getting inseminated.

    In that excited mood, she bumped into a certain person and his phone fell, alongside some other few papers or something. She was shocked, surprised, she bent over to pick them up and saw the feet of the man.

    He wore a brown leather custom made designer shoe. She knows quality and expensive things from a mere glance at it. Whatever, she picked up the phone, its screen was blank and had a crack.

     “Sorry” she said, raising her head to glance at the man whose feet she just saw. He was tall, dressed in a brown fitted trenched suit. His muscular figure was outlined, a mere glance will tell that he does work out a lot.

    But the cold stare coming from the man sends a chill down her spine. Such a combination of Cuteness and coldness doesn't impress her at all.

     Rather than take the phone or papers from her, he glared at her in irritation. The atmosphere around her became compressed and she felt tingles of inferiority grow within her.

     “Here, take them” Lara said again, feeling uncomfortable from the stares coming from the man. His piercing gaze seemed to bore through her skin, revealing her entire being to him.

     “You broke the boss' phone and you said a mere sorry?” A voice spoke from behind him. The man wasn't looking anyway friendly but hostile and his resentment is written all over his face.

     “Oh.. what was I supposed to say?” Lara snapped at him. At this moment, she put off those smiles and stared back sharply. They bumped into each other and she's to cringe and hide her face because his phone happened to fall off?

     “You should go on your knees and beg for mercy” Another replied from the man's side. What sort of woman is this, doesn't she know the personality of the man in whose presence she was standing?

      “We bumped into each other and his phone dropped. So because of that I should kneel and beg for mercy? Oh darling..it's not so easy to get me intimidated.

     Next time, both you and your boss should use your eyes properly when walking in a public area like the hospital to avoid bumping into others. Excuse me” Lara declared and wanted to walk away dropping the phone back to the floor.

   Suddenly one of the men blocked her path and yelled into her face “Are you courting death?” He thundered. How dare she drop the boss' stuff on the floor? Who the hell does she think she is?

     Lara was scared but wouldn't allow it to get expressed. She could perceive the aura coming from the man. She knew they could deal with her or ask for compensation, which she doesn't have.

     “I wouldn't mind, if you show me the way to the courtship venue” Lara declared nonchalantly, knowing her words would provoke the men more and suddenly she was surrounded by two of the man's bodyguards but just then, the boss raised his hand and they stepped back.

      Without another word, Lara walked away. Being from a high class family doesn't mean others are less human. An accident happened and she was courteous enough to pick up his phone. 

     What wrong had she done by doing so?

      Curtis Rodney, the young master of the Rodney family. An only son and owner of the millennium entertainment world, is a billionaire from birth and inherited the Rodney Textile and fashion home, merging it with his own company, millennium entertainment world, he became the richest dude in Michigan.

      He turned and glared at the woman who just walked away and gnashed at her audacity. How dare she, who the hell is she, does she know who he is?

      Anyways, he walked away. He would deal with her if her fate made her cross paths with him again and at the slightest disrespect, he would unleash his anger on her.

      Lara waved the thought off her mind. Now that it's certain that she would be getting inseminated in the following week, her excitement overshadowed the disrespect of the men she encountered a while ago.

      She took some supplements, getting her belly prepared to carry a baby. Now, she's going to carefully take caution of what she takes and doesn't.

     Thank goodness, she doesn't drink alcohol or smoke. She would ensure not to take anything that has the tiniest bit of caffeine and complete avoidance of junk food, she'll reduce it to the barest minimum.

    More nutritious meals and veggies. She stood before the mirror in her room, speaking to herself, she's going to be a mother, she isn't a barren woman, yes, she will be having a baby growing in her belly soon.

    Fast forward, a week later, she got dressed, withdrew her savings of many years and headed to the hospital…
