Robert rushed to his office as his assistant had told him that they had a candidate for surrogacy. He had actually wanted to bring up the topic when he was with Lavender but he had resisted the urge. He knew that Lavender was not that kind of girl and he didn't want her to lose her respect and dignity in such a humiliating way.They had only dated for less than three hours, he did not want to scare her.He didn't want her to think of him badly and even detest him because of that. She might think that he got together with her just to use her.He rushed to his office at lighting speed. He also wanted to be done with the situation as soon as possible. "Who did you find?""Jeffrey Smith, fifty years old has a daughter Rael Smith, twenty five years old. He contacted us and said that he happened to overhear some people talking about it thus he discussed with her da

"Lavender are you free? I have something important to tell you." Came Jeffrey's voice. "What's so important that it can't be said over the phone?" Asked Lavender. The last people she wanted to see were the Smiths. She loothed  them to the bone and marrow.  "It's very important. I have just received news that your dad had an oversee company. Although it was not doing great, some great person has taken interest in it and want to buy it. As the only next of kin, they need your consent." Jeffrey explained. "Why haven't I ever heard of such company from my parents?" Lavender questioned with doubt. "You were young so maybe your dad saw no need of telling you. Actually, the company is even registered under your name."  "So if you have time, I was given some papers, you can go through them then we will see what follows."  "Why should I listen to yo

It's been three days since Lavender was brought to this private villa.They forbid her from contacting the outside world and only told her to concentrate on taking care of her body. She begged to even speak to Robert but Nelson only sneered at her with contempt."Wasn't it you who wanted to climb in a rich man's bed, why are you behaving all pure and innocent? Who's sympathy are you trying to gain? You think I will fall for your little tricks? Just concentrate on eating well and taking care of your body." We that, he turned around and left.It has only been three days but Lavender had already lost a lot of weight. Her face was  haggard and she looked like a thirty years old lady who lived in the village. She could not even recognise herself anymore.Her eyes were swollen and hair was unkempt. When she looked at herself in the mirror, Lavender was so shocked and scared of herself that she immediat

Lavender slept until daybreak. It was a miracle that she didn't have any nightmares throughout the night. She had never slept this good since she was brought to this villa. She woke up feeling refreshed and even the dark circles around her eyes were gone. She seemed to have accepted her fate and all she had to do was embrace it. Lavender went to clean up. After thirty minutes, she exited the bathroom looking spic and span. Even Anna who had brought her breakfast was astonished at the sudden transformation.  "You are looking good girl." She commented.  Her young face was glistening with life and it was full of energy.  "Thanks auntie. And thanks for yesterday. It really helped a lot." Lavender said, smiling genuinely at the gentle auntie. "Ooh, it was nothing." Anna said. She thought that Lavender was only putting on a strong f

The room was in total darkness by the time Robert entered. He had already showered and the only thing on his body was the white towel around his slim and narrow waist.He searched for the socket and turned on the lights. Lavender who was already blind folded and lying on the King sized bed felt her back tighten when she heard some movements in the room.It was finally here. The long awaited day is finally here.She clutched the bed sheet tightly, trying to stay as calm as possible. She had no idea that lights were turned on because in her eyes was total darkness.Robert who was drying his hair, looked at the woman  who was lying on the bed and sneered.She schemed all that time, why was she pretending to be nervous at this time? Was she taking him as a fool? He had already lost all the good feelings he had for this girl. And if not for the fact that his grandfather was urging him, he would already have tossed her to the sea to be eaten by the
