3. I WILL DO IT

last update Last Updated: 2022-07-06 10:58:47

"Please, hold on, Amery. Don't die on me." Emery yelled out. "I swear, I was out to find the money for your surgery." She bent her head to feel her pulse, she was breathing faintly. "God, what do I do?" She pulled her phone out of her bag to call an ambulance.

Emery panicked as she watched her twin sister lie lifelessly on the floor; she had lost more weight than she remembered, her hands were so fragile and her skin so pale. Emery sobbed, praying that her sister would not die before the ambulance arrived.

A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived, picked them and headed to the hospital.

They got to the hospital and Amery was rushed into the emergency ward. Emery had to stay back at the reception while the doctors and nurses treated her sister. She prayed, hoped, and wished.

After about three hours, one of the doctors came out. He walked to where Emery was kneeling and called her to his office. She was dead scared as she walked behind the Doctor like a zombie.

"Doctor, please what happened to my sister?" She asked, taking a seat in the Doctor's office.

Doctor Ryan sighed, "Emery, I told you to get the money for her surgery the last time you visited. I told you the tumor was spreading." His expression was faint and sad. "I'm sorry, but it has gone beyond our control, there are seizures in her brain and if she doesn't get the removal surgery done in time, you might lose your sister." He shut his eyes, rubbing his temples in worry.

"Help me, Doctor! I can't lose my sister. She's the only one I have left. Please, what do I do?" She asked, her voice shaky.

"Just get the money for the surgery. That will help her, I don't know of any medical organizations that are giving out grants to patients. I would have told you to try one. I am sorry I can't help, but to save your twin's life, we need the money." Doctor Ryan concluded.

Emery knew it would come to this, she bent her head and tears rushed down her cheeks. There was nowhere she was going to get a hundred thousand dollars, there was no way. She had tried juggling jobs together but spent the money saved on feeding and medications for Amery.

"She can't go home with you in this state. She has to stay in the hospital and we will watch her until you get the money for the surgery." The Doctor left his seat, walking closer to Emery. He patted her back and stared at her. "Just do your best to save your sister." He nudged her with his head and left the office.

Emery waltzed into the ICU, struggling to find the room her sister was in. She stopped by the door of the room, holding the doorknob, tears streamed down her face like a river; it hurt so badly to know her twin was on the verge of dying and there was nothing she could do to save her.

She clicked the door and it opened widely into Amery's room, she walked in, shutting the door slowly.

Amery heard the sound, she turned to see her sister, and the big smile that appeared on her face melted Emery's heart.

"Sissy, you are here." She said.

"Amery, how do you feel?" Emery sat on the bed, clutching her sister's hands very tightly. She kissed her forehead and his lips lingered there for a while. "How are you?" She asked.

"Emery, you've been doing too much. I am sorry for always putting you through this stress. I was at home when I started convulsing," she stopped talking and heaved a tired sigh. "Then I fainted, I couldn't shout for help, no one would help me." She smiled a smile that was so pale. 

With trembling hands, Emery touched her face. "How do you feel now?" She asked again.

"I am in pain, the pains are unbearable but I'm willing to bear them until I die. The Doctors said the tumors have spread and if the surgery is not done in time, I will die." She smiled again. "You've done too much already. Dying will be the only way to ease me of this pain and ease you of the burden."

"Don't," Emery shushed her, "Don't say those scary words." She looked away from her sister and tears fell from her eyes. "Have you forgotten we haven't visited Disneyland? We have not seen our favorite celebrities. Do you remember you talked about having chubby kids who look like me? And the man of your dreams, you haven't met him yet. How can you die when you haven't done these things?" 

"Oh," Amery chuckled, a stream of tears welling up her face. "I don't have much time for those things anymore. You can fulfill my dreams for me." She said to her sister.

"No, Amery, we will fulfill our dreams together! We are going to fulfill those dreams together." She kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly, not letting go for a very long time.

When she let go Amery was asleep, she placed her back gently on the bed and watched her. She thought back to how cheerful her sister used to be when they were kids. Amery was the slim twin while she was the thick one. Amery always stood up for her when other kids bullied her for her size, she stayed with her and did things for her when she needed someone. She couldn't just watch her die in pain, she had to save her.

She remembered the card Benhail gave to her, she jumped out of the bed and placed her fingers on her lips; thinking of what to do.

"Wait," she raised her hands. "He wants me to carry his baby? That is surrogacy, right? Yes!" she snapped her fingers, peeking through her shoulder to check if she hadn't woken Amery. "There are ways to go about surrogacy, could be insemination methods and all. I don't have to sleep with him, do I?" She smiled. "Wait, I went to the club to sleep with a man." The smile on her face faltered; her real problem was not sleeping with Benhail, it was carrying the child for nine months—she wasn't sure she could do that.

She couldn't watch her sister die when she could save her. Nine months, and three months to take care of the child. She was going to give a year of her life to him, she sighed. If giving a year of her life was what it took to save her sister, then she was willing to do it.

She strode outside with her hands behind her back, she bumped into an elderly woman whose face was swollen. She had seen her with her grandchild before, only God knows what was wrong with the poor girl. Emery picked the file up and gave it to the woman. "I am sorry," she muttered and went on her way.

She got to the parking lot and took a seat, the time was two at midnight. She contemplated dialing Benhail's number and going to his house when it was dawn. The doctor's words kept piercing her ears and she knew she wouldn't rest until she found a solution.

She pulled out the card from her purse, her eyes rested on the small paper for a long while. Heaving a sigh, she clicked the numbers and dialed. Placing the phone in her ear, she waited for him to pick it up while it rang.

Benhail picked up after it rang three times, "Who's this?" His voice echoed through her ears, she shut her eyes to have a feel of his deep voice.

"This is Emery," she said, "I have thought about your offer…" She stopped.

"And what did you decide?" He asked her, but she gave no response to him. "Hey, are you there? Hey?"

"My decision is," she sighed, there was no going back now. "I will do it, I will carry your child for nine months and breastfeed the baby for three more months as you've implied. I will do all that you want me to do." She said, amidst tears.

"Are you sure about this?" She noticed Benhail's voice was brighter than before.

"Yes, I will do it." She affirmed once again, she had to save her sister's life.

"Good, the rest of the contract will be discussed in the morning. I will come pick you up tomorrow and we will talk more about this after which you will sign the contract. I have to rest my head now, goodnight." He ended the call before she could talk.

"Jerk! He's such a jerk!" She muttered, weeping and cuddling the phone to her chest. "Oh Lord, what do I do?" She snuggled up under her knees and looked towards the ICU. Heaving a sigh, she shook her head, there was hope that her sister would not die and that was all she needed to know.

  • Twelve Months Deal With The Billionaire   84. BABY ELLA (THE END)

    The Shrill cry of baby Ella woke Emery from her afternoon nap. Tossing on the bed, she groaned and looked at her husband who was busy typing on the computer."Your baby is crying," Emery grumbled, attempting to get out of bed, but her eyes were still heavy. She hadn't slept overnight, baby Ella had been awake all night and she was trying her best to put her to sleep."I just gave her her food," Benhail left what he was doing, walking over to the baby's cot that was in their bedroom. They had moved the baby's cot to the bedroom immediately after Emery was put to bed, two months ago. She was against the idea of keeping her baby in a different room, so Benhail suggested they moved the cot to their room."She won't stop crying," Emery croaked."Get back to sleep, I will get her." He heaved the baby out of his cot and placed a soft kiss on her cheeks. She was tiny, and looked so much like him, exactly like him, making Emery jealous of the fact that she carried her for nine months and she c

    Some months later, Emery was dressed in a white chemise, standing in front of the full-length mirror. She stared into the mirror with tears in her eyes."We will be late if you continue to cry." Amery hugged her from the back, handing her a small handkerchief to wipe away the tears that stained her cheeks."I can't believe I am getting married today," Emery gently wiped the tears from her eyes. "Still baffles me.""You should be happy, Emery. There is no reason for you to cry.""I am happy, Amy. I am very happy, and these are tears of joy." She hugged her sister, gently sobbing into her shoulder."I am happy we found happiness, we've been through so much together and we deserve every good thing that's coming our way. Your wedding is today and mine is next month." Amery patted her sister's back. "Our parents will be so proud of us wherever they are.""I wish they were here to witness this day." Emery sobbed, but Amery calmed her down. She went on her knees to feel the baby in Emery's t

    "Happy birthday to us." Emery and Amery said in unison, clinking glass against glass. Cheering, they downed the content of the wine and Lola served them another round."To my favourite girls in the whole world, I wish you the very best life has to offer. I love you two so much." She raised the hem of her gown, leaning forward to kiss Emery on the cheeks, after she was done, she moved over to Amery. "Common, let's have a party." She clapped her hands as she walked to the centre of the room to tell the disc jockey to play some nice music.Amery and Emery had virtually the same thing on; the same knee-length straight gown but of different colours. Amery's was red while Emery settled for the pink one, the same pair of silver-coloured stilettos, the same makeup and their hair was done in the same style; they looked elegant and simple at the same time."Oh my, Liam is here." Amery squealed when she sighted Liam walking into the small restaurant they had rented for themselves for that evenin

    Benhail was standing in front of her when she swivelled around, she smiled, walking closer to him."How long have you been here?" Emery asked, snaking her arms around him."Since you started coordinating the models." He kissed her cheeks. "You are doing well, but don't stress yourself. The baby doesn't want stress, you know right?" She nodded her head to his words. "And I brought you snacks, I feel like you need them." He handed a bag to her, she took it from him and kissed his cheeks."Thank you, I was hungry." She led him to the couch that was in the lounge. She had stopped hiding the bump since the day she made up with Benhail; she hid it before because she didn't want the words of her pregnancy to spread to him.She placed the polythene bag on the centre table that was in the lounge, she picked one from the croissants, a bit on it and moaned satisfactorily."Tastes very nice," she gave one to him but he refused to take it from her. "Why don't you want to eat with me?" She asked, f

    Emery walked into the living room after Benhail dropped her. She met her sister sitting on the couch with her arms curled under her legs. She ignored her, walking into the room to meet Lola but Amery stopped her."Can we talk?" She asked Emery.Emery wanted to say no to her, but she changed her mind about that. She was on good terms with Benhail, things were good again it was because of Amery's effort to bring them back, she owed her one there."I am sorry," she started, staring into her sister's eyes. "I am sorry I went too fast even when you didn't want to. Can you forgive me?" Amery looked into her eyes, biting her lips.Emery smiled, her sister was too cute she couldn't resist her if she was being that way."I was truly worried about you, I am so sorry." She got up from the couch and walked down to sit on the sofa Emery was seated on. "You know we've always looked out for each other and got each other's back, I was just being a good sister, I didn't mean to hurt you." She took her

    "Guess it won't work here," Emery drawled. "Let's go home then," he looked into her eyes. She nodded her head in support. He kissed her lips and she got down, sitting back on the car's seat.Benhail started the car, driving at a very fast speed. The bulge between his legs had grown bigger and he couldn't wait anymore, he wanted to be buried deep inside of her, kneading her, thrusting in and out of her as she screamed his name.He arrived home shortly after, Emery kissed him in the car but he pulled away. "Come in with me."She trailed behind him like a lost puppy. He gripped her arms when they got into the house, tugging her closer, he stared into her eyes. "Benhail," she gasped and placed her lips on his. It started gingerly, carefully taking her lips in his and nibbling on them, she snaked her hands around his neck and moaned into his ears. "Please take me, I want you now, Benhail.""I know you do," he ripped her dress off her body in an instant. Emery gasped, giggling after. She
