JASONI would agree with Elizabeth, days later that the party indeed sucked and the only reason I was able to still be at it was because of my father and her.The introduction to my father had gone better than I expected, maybe it had something to do with his cancer and the fact that it was also his birthday but he gave no trouble at all which was something for me to be worried about, I made a mental note to talk to him after the circus of a party and know his thoughts.The remaining of my family members were nowhere to be seen and so Mara, Elizabeth and I decided to stand over at the island and get a drink at once. Of course, Elizabeth went for water because she was now pregnant and had to avoid anything at all that would affect the baby inversely.“look who the cat dragged in” my sister called.I hadn’t seen her in a long while and so we hugged before I introduced her to Elizabeth who had a big smile on her face.“oh look, it’s the surrogate” she had said.My hands stilled in anger

JASONThe chances in young females who have never given birth are low and also for virgins, the only way we can be sure is if you are to have actual sex with the lady…The doctor droned on but it was fine to say that I was not listening to him, my thoughts were filled with concern for Elizabeth and how she was taking this worse than I was.The call from her had snapped me to attention and seeing her in a fetal position on the floor, trying to protect the baby was my undoing. I did not want to think about what could have been but what was right now and my plans were to make sure I did everything to make her forget this unfortunate incident.“are you listening to me, Mr. Rodrigues?” the doctor asked after some time.“you were saying?” I responded, still not listening.“you have to have actual sex with your girlfriend if you want her to get pregnant.” He said.“I hear you doctor and we will consider that, just please make sure nothing happens to her.”Mara was waiting inside the room wit

JASONI hit my head in frustration and headed to the island… I needed a damn drink, a very strong one.“what did you do to her?” Lucien asked, following me.“damn if I knew, she has been like that since the whole incident happened and I am really trying to be the strong one here. Does she have any idea how much I am blaming myself at this moment?” I asked mixing myself something strong.“maybe this time around you could show it? I believe she is hurting and needs someone to hurt with.”“when did you become such an expert on these matters, dear brother?” I askedHe was right, I was hurting in more ways than I would care to admit. I had desperately wanted just this once to be a father and it wasn’t that we could not always try again but it just put a dampen on my hope.“what do you think I should do?” I asked.I could not believe I was actually asking my brother who, a month ago was actively doing all he could to soil Elizabeth but it seemed that since the time he left, something had ch

JASONThe sight of Elizabeth was driving me crazy… hell the mere thought of her was enough to send blood rushing to my lower region, I was a gentleman but not where she was concerned. She had me stuck in the eye of a needle but was blissfully unaware and ignorant of it, which did nothing placate my aches.I had tried avoiding her for these past few days by staying at the office till it was late and even visiting the club to check on their progress, something I delegated to Caleb, my assistant but even her scent lingered everywhere in the house.She must have noticed my ever grumpy mood and always kept her distance most of the time. Today was no exception, I was thinking of her and barely concentrating on the report in front of me. It was like a disease that I wanted to rid myself of but every time I would imagine some scenario in my head and think of what she would say too.“Jason Rodrigues, you are going crazy” I muttered to myself, shaking my head repeatedly.“it is quite obvious yo

JASONIt was almost noon time and I could hardly wait to be done with work and go to the club for some relaxation, the plan was for Lucien to meet me there but I was going to call him and confirm his availability, I did not want to drink alone. I got up and walked to the window of my office and looked out, I had a very great view of everyone and everywhere bustling with activity. I could see a woman trying to calm a wailing toddler down and a man standing far apart from them but watching, he was no doubt the father and did not want that sort of drama. She was saying something to the child who suddenly stopped crying and then she brought out a dollar bill from her purse and handed it to him, he bounded away to the nearest candy shop, smiling like he had not just been crying some minutes ago.There was another couple too, holding hands and I wondered immediately why I could see myself and Elizabeth, walking side by side and hand in hand like that one day… it happened suddenly though, on
