The plan

•LEVI BANKS•

“It's wrong to make attempts in seducing her to lie with you,she's fidgeting.”

My mind reiterated for the millionth time and once again, I ignored it, trying hard to fight back the haunting refrain.

“She's the only one that can do this as the woman everyone sees as my wife. Of course, I won't lay with her on a normal day” I replied the voice inwardly, while still trailing kisses down her exposed neck.

She was pretty, I knew it and wouldn't deny it but I wasn't an heterosexual man who's interested in women.

At first, it seemed like I was forcing myself and hormones but now, it was beginning to seem like I was enjoying it. The fear,the nervousness and the way she hides the fact that she doesn't want this is a sight all men would kill to see.

However, I had a sole intention.

‘I need a child’

One thing was certain, she'll have no option if she realizes she's pregnant.

“Our deal didn't include surrogacy, I can't talk to her about getting a child. I have to find a way to do it..” I thought again, feeling quite satisfied with the moaning sounds she was making..

I was gradually getting on the winning side..

“Do things smartly without arousing suspicions..” my late father would always say.

“Le.. v..iii” she moaned again with trembling lips.

“Stop.. it… I can't take it anymore” she pleaded gently and my heart instantly sank but I knew better than to allow her notice that so I remained calm.

“You don't like it?” I asked, making sure my voice hadn't lost its seductive tone.

“Please..” she pleaded again like she was about to cry and then I turned her to myself, fixing my gaze on her flawless face.

“Every woman would want to lay with someone like me, what happened to you?” I thought, staring at her, while her own gaze remained glued to my chest.

“I'm sorry.." she sniffed.

“You kissed me during the wedding, why are you being hesitant now?.. it's our wedding night..” I said, trying to capture her lips but she quickly looked away, causing my lips to land on her cheeks.

My lips were buried in her cheeks,my eyes closed in anger and disappointment.

Wasn't I seductive enough?..

“We…” I watched her gulp hard.

“The agreement was that romantic moves will only be made in the presence of people and relations. We're alone here.. and, I can't do anything with you..” she hiccuped as she spoke..

I slowly raised my hand to her chin, raising it a bit so our gaze could meet… but she refused to let our gazes lock. She kept looking somewhere else.

“You're so different..” I said inwardly.

“Look at me..” I said aloud and slowly she turned to me, causing our gazes to mirror each other.

“You've never laid with a man?..” I found myself asking, sensing that it could be the reason for her hesitance.

“Huh?..” I probed gently.

“I need to use the bathroom..” she said, ignoring my question and before I could let go of her, she moved away from me, rushing to the bathroom immediately.

I closed my eyes, biting my lower lip.

“That was close,” I muttered.

My phone rang almost immediately, interrupting my thoughts and I opened my eyes instantly, catching a glimpse of the ringing device.

“Who calls on a wedding night?” I thought.

After watching the phone ring for about five seconds, I proceeded towards the direction where it was, picking it up afterwards.

The caller's ID was ‘Jace' and without a second thought, I swiped green.

“Hey doctor.." I said, calling him just the same way I usually did.

“Happy married life best” he said with a chuckle and I hummed for a while.

“Stop making it seem like it wasn't a contract marriage” I rolled my eyes. Besides my personal assistant, Jace was the only one that knew about the marriage deal.

He had actually suggested that I rent a bride a few weeks ago.

“How was the wedding, by the way?.. I'm so sorry I couldn't leave New York and come over.I had so many patients and surgeries to do this week” he explained.

“Yeah I know.." I replied casually, hearing the running sound of water from the bathroom.

“The wedding was good with lots of guests as expected. Grandpa can be something else you know.” I sighed..

“Is she pretty?”

“Yeah, beyond expectations” I said before I could realize.

“Sweet!." he giggled.

“There's a problem Jace..” I suddenly digressed, reducing my voice a bit.

“What?"

“The investors demanded for a family with a child and grandpa wants an heir too. I have only a year before I lose the contract completely” I made sure my voice remained inaudible for a third-party..

“Damn, I guessed as much,” he muttered.

“I'm so confused right now" i muttered too.

“What about the lady?" he questioned.

“The contract agreement didn't include that, you know..” I sighed, rubbing my temples while still ensuring that I wasn't so audible.

Besides, the tap was still running and was enough to absorb my voice from being heard by her.

“Worst of it all, she seems like some innocent virgin from Bethlehem or something. My seductive moves were all in vain” I added, sighing again.

He burst into laughter immediately..

“It's actually not funny” I said slowly.

“So what do we do now?..” he asked after laughing for a few seconds.

“You know you're a better master planner than I am” I hyped.

He hummed softly.

“Why don't you get a surrogate mother then?..” he suggested.

“Thought of that but Grandpa needs to see my so-called wife pregnant and definitely, he'll be present at the hospital when the baby is about to be delivered. That old man is smarter than you think bro” I said.

“Sophia has to get pregnant.. yet we have just three months together. Only a pregnancy can extend our connection and leave her stuck with me with no other option” I continued.

“Jace, we have to act fast” I said again.

He hummed for the next one minute, and all the while, I was wondering why Sophia was still in the bathroom.

“There's only one way to do this” he finally spoke..

“Okay?” I said impatiently.

“We have to get her pregnant medically with your sperm without making her aware,” he said.

I raised a brow.

His words were wise but at what cost…

“How are we going to do that?.. Besides, won't she be hurt when she finds out later?” I questioned at the same time.

“You can always triple her pay to compensate when she finds out that she's pregnant later on..” he replied.

“Then regarding the plan, you'll have to find a way to bring her over to New York as soon as possible and then we'll either drug her till the whole process is done or inject her to forget the whole process..” he spoke again.

My lips curved into a smile.

“How can you be this smart?”

“Uhm I have a medical degree?”
