Priscilla Castillo took up the job as a surrogate to make ends meet, this sort of job was a new territory for her. She never once thought of being the one to take care of the child . Damon Prince is a CEO of a reknowned company, his marriage to Elizabeth Prince was fruitless which hurt the couple so much. Unfortunately Elizabeth is met with an accident and dies immediately. Now Damon has to live with a woman he hates for carrying his child. ---------------------------------------------------- My heart started raced as I thought of a way to squeeze out of this unwanted situation I found myself in. "Elizabeth" he snuggled in closer tightening his hold on me, it was now that I decided to make a run for it, it would be better if I wasn't caught than be found on the bed with a man his wife died a month and a week ago. I started with the fist, then slowly I freed myself. I was already close to the door when the light was brought back on, I paused, my heart thumping, I slowly push the door open. "What are you doing?" I heard a voice asked when I was just a foot out. I made a hundred and eighty degree turn to face him, Damon, he was wide awake like he wasn't sleeping before. "I ask again, what are you doing?" His eye brows furrowed waiting for my response, I had no response, I too can't explain how I winded up in his room, I was simply mistaken and that was all. "Nothing" I replied with a shaky voice.
Chapter 1 Starting Over
I said a word of prayer as I laid a white rose on the now covered grave, I was hurt but not as the people around me who has had long time bond with the deceased unlike me who had only known her for a month. The atmosphere was emotionally draining with all the wailing and tears and amidst all this turbulence someone important in this woman's life was missing..... Her husband.
"Hi, Priscilla ,my daughter said a lot about you.It's about the baby you're currently carrying." She looks cultured but not easy to close.
"Yes, madam."
"Thank you for coming. But I need to rush all my words out today. I can't lose any one now. I know your situation, we can pay more for you. But please move to live with us. For the safety of delivering our baby, we should guarantee you're safe and foolproof during your pregnancy. This is my daughter's child. And the only one ."
Yes, she knew so much about my situation.
She knew that I need money so much.
I wanted to accept as she kept increasing the price she wanted to give me which was different from original amount I was to receive, I felt guilty because she was doing this to protect something her daughter wanted.
"I'll do it" I said after so much pleading from her, "....but my mother"
"I heard about her, I promise to make sure she is safe and secure and that no harm comes to her, infact I will personally employ someone to cater for her needs while you are with us" "US" she never said it will be an us.....
Her attention was slowly deviating as a man with a loose shirt and a tie loosely wrapped around his neck, his trouser was really dirty on the knee, it was like he had being kneeling earlier, and his walking steps were haggard.
"Damon where have you been? And why are you...." She sniffed him ad covered her nose, "Damon you reek of alcohol, have you being drinking?" She asked before closing her nose again.
"What do you think?" He staggered almost loosing his balance. "You are the witch that didn't let her rest and yet you call yourself my mother" he poked his index finger on her chest. "Are you glad now?" He asked before pushing her to the side making her fall to the ground, he didn't bother to wait and pick her up.... he just left.
A week after my initial meeting with the child's father mother, she called me up again after I thought she had forgotten, she sent someone to pick me up and left a nanny for my mom as she had promised.
We drove to a large mansion with a very tight security, the building could be mistaken for a hotel, I watched in awe as we drove pass the garden which was the side before we stopped at the house itself, there was someone waiting to open the door for me.
I thanked the person as I got down of the car.
I was led in to see a more grand interior of the house, Damon's mother was standing at the front waiting to welcome me.
"Welcome dear" she hugged me and kissed my cheeks. She turned to a lady beside her, "Go get Damon, tell him there is someone I like for him to meet". "Miss Priscilla why don't you have a seat and feel comfortable....."
I was really touched by her kindness and was hopeful for what was to come. "
What could be so important that my work had to be disturbed" A cold figure said with a drag, my eyes fought so hard to see who it was, he slowly came down the stairs, away from the light. "Come here son..." Damon's mother, he shoved her arm away, she smiled at me. "Damon this is Priscilla, she is carrying your child"!
