The Mistress Surrogate

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.....
