Billionaire Love Affair with the Surrogate

Anya stared at the check. Her hands were trembling as she pondered if what she was doing was right. All this would go against her morals as a woman. Giving birth to a child while being paid and later giving it away, if she were not the one doing this deed and other people, she would scoff and despise them for this ridiculous task.

“Five hundred million for surrogacy. After you give birth, you will leave the child and never show your face again,” The man said as he dropped a check on the table. He introduced himself as the secretary of her

benefactor.

But as the woman sitting and facing this deed and being offered such a sum that will save her husband’s company, she feels she doesn’t have a choice but to accept.

“We have looked deeply for the most suitable DNA and bloodline, and yours fits the requirements quite well hence, the hefty sum that will be paid. Also, we heard you’re in a crisis, this amount will surely help you a lot, so Mrs. Davis, I suggest you consider this offer carefully.”

What the man said was true. Facing the key to her husband’s chance of redemption, she would probably hate herself more if she just watched her husband’s demise, although there was something she could’ve done. So, she shut her eyes as she placed her hand on top of the check, like finally taking a step forward on the edge of the cliff.

“I agree,”

Within the white walls of the four-cornered room, the smell of disinfectant filtered the air as Anya lay in the hospital bed, gripping the white sheets until her knuckles turned white. She bit her lips as she endured the searing pain from the foreign object that was penetrating her lower body.

The test tube was fully inserted into her womanhood, and the nurse finally announced that the sperm had been successfully injected in. Anya exhaled the long sigh she hadn’t known she had been holding for the most painful ten minutes of her life. Aside from physical pain, her mental and emotional state was in turmoil. She knew that this event would change her life completely. She had shouted so loudly inside her head and heart, but all that came out of her mouth was a silent cry.

She went home that day, finding their house as cold and desolate as a barren land. Her husband has been away from work for a week now because of a major problem with the company. The business was facing bankruptcy, and her husband had already given her a heads-up that it would take months to come up with a solution. Even with little knowledge, Anya knew that the company was in a dire state. It was impossible to revive it without a major backup fund. Looking at her husband’s depressed and solemn face, she couldn’t stand just sitting and doing nothing. Therefore, on that faithful day.

Anya sat in the living room, lost in her thoughts. The television was on, but the woman was in a daze, with her hand atop her still flat stomach. When suddenly, she heard her husband’s name coming from the news report. The news was broadcasting about the business tycoon, the Davis, who was on the brink of bankruptcy. With a screen separating them, Anya watched her husband’s face, stoic and a little haggard but still standing tall and fighting for his business's future. Slowly, a tear trickled down her face as she whispered,

“Husband, don’t worry, I will help you.”

Anya woke up from the sudden rise of pressure from the bottom of her stomach. She felt the hot liquid coming up her throat. She dashed to the bathroom as she heaved heavily, throwing up all she had yesterday.

Tears and sweat trickled down her face as she threw up, feeling like her entire stomach would come out of her mouth. When the heaving finally stopped, she wiped her mouth and flushed the toilet as she slowly stood up.

She went to the sink and faced the mirror. 

A complete mess.
