Chapter FourteenCELIA'S POV"What is she doing here?" Mr Steve said in a harsh tone"Like I said, she is the surrogate I told you about," Mrs Adriana said sitting downI stood next to her frightened by the look Steve was giving me, he looked different from the man I met months ago.Despite having this Pissed expression that sent chills into my bone, I couldn't miss the fact that he looked stressed and worn out, I began to wonder what was going on with him these past months.His wife on the other hand looked exquisite in her Purple jumpsuit with her hair dyed in a bright Chestnut colour. Nothing about her showed she was stressed, she seemed to be living her best life regardless of what was going on with her husband."Sit Celia" Mrs Adriana called me out of my thoughtsI looked at Steve and his wife who sat quietly, and both ignored me so I reached out to the fourth chair pulled it out of the table, and sat down between Mrs Adriana and Steve."So, I went through the contract your lawye

She would ignore me when I spoke to her.Walk out on me without saying where she was going and returned very late last night. All these attitudes just to trigger a reaction from me but I kept it cool.I was already stressed as it was hence, I didn't need this kind of issue. I intended to make peace with her this morning. But given that she used a pillow to demarcate our bed was the height of it.I stood up from the bed and glanced back at her, she was up and had her eyes glued to the screen of her phone. She didn't even make an effort to speak to me.

Chapter Nineteen - Too Good To Be TrueCelia's POVSteve has been quite nice and polite to me since he came to my house with his mum yesterday.He smiles more than he frowns now. He was humming to the Celine Dion song on the radio as we drove back to Baton Rouge.I had my eyes out the windows immediately after we drove off, I already miss my family in less than thirty minutes of departure so I tried to hold in my tears making me look out the window instead.I hear him clear his throat so I look back at him to see him taking slight glances at me before returning his eyes to the road"Celia!" he calls out"Mm!" I hum in response"I kind of noticed you wear this cloth more often, do you not have any other one?" he asked much to my embarrassmentHow did I tell him that this was my best pair of clothes?"Uhhm" I rub my forehead looking for the best way to put this without looking poverty-stricken"Relax Celia, I mean well, I just want to know," he says calmly.Somehow his tone sent a new s

Chapter Twenty - "I Can't Lose Him"DIANA'S POVI couldn't help but be worried, since Steve left this morning for work I have been restless. I paced around the room thinking."Steve has never raised his hands on me ever since we started dating. This is all that bitch's fault!" I roar in anger"I need to do something, Steve is slipping out of my grasp, I can't just rely on my mother's words. " I bark subconsciouslyI strode over to the dresser and sat down staring into the mirror at my reflection."What did he see in that Celia girl that I do not have? I don't get it, who would prefer a cheap waitress over me?" I soliloquize~Flash back~I grab and unlock my phone, clicking on contacts I begin to search for a name, I see what I'm looking for and immediately dial it"Hello" the familiar voice booms in my ear"Mummy!" I bellow"You sound angry my darling, what is the problem" she inquired"Steve hit me" I cried"That son of a bitch did what? How? What happened" she asks all at once"We g
