I WILL FIND YOU

 🌼 CHAPTER ONE 🌼

What Jeremy said felt like a missile was dropped right on Christiana's head and it exploded immensely. She went stiff in shock still trying to digest what Jeremy just said.

Her father... sold her off as a SURROGATE?! without her awareness, to someone she has never met before in her life!

That's impossible!

How will her father sell her off? How can he ruin her life like this when he wasn't even there?

"You don't know what you're talking about " Christiana chortled in disbelief.

"For your point of information... I don't have a father. And I don't know nor do I care whatever nonsense both this document and you are talking about. The most important thing to me right now is to get home to my mother " Christiana turned to leave but...

"I'm sorry but you're not allowed to do that, Ma'am. According to the contract, you won't be able to leave this mansion until the contract has expired " What Jeremy said made Christiana pause and shot him a glare.

"What?! Are you out of your fucking mind?! " She snapped and looked over at Damien whose face didn't even show any reaction nor was he saying anything. Because according to one of Damien's rules;

You don't utter a word when eating.

Christiana became irritated and she walked back to the dining. She slammed her hands on the table and leaned over to Damien. What she did made Damien's brows pinch in annoyance.

This woman was starting to irritate him.

"Listen to me, Mr. Fernandez. This contract is null and void because it was finalized without my consent. I never agreed to it! So whoever signed this contract with you is not my father. And even if he was, he will never do this to me. Period! " 

"This girl is stupidly naive " Damien thought to himself. He looked at Jeremy who nodded immediately.

Jeremy placed a phone before Christiana making her frown.

"Why don't you watch this, Ma'am? "

A video was played for Christiana to watch. It was a video showing when Christiana's father was signing the contract. He was smirking proudly as he imprinted his signature. A huge amount of money was handed over to him after everything and the stupid man was so happy, he even went on his knees to thank and praise Damien.

By the time she was done watching the video, Christiana's world shattered into a million pieces. Her face died down in deep gloom and her eyes flooded with tears.

How could her own father do this to her? 

First, the stupid man was never there for her since she was a kid. He abandoned her and her mother who was chronically ill to die. So all her life since she was a child, Christiana grew up being the one to take care of her mother.

Just so she can fend for herself and her mother, Christiana dropped out of school and started doing four different part-time jobs. And even after being exhausted every day after coming back from work, she will still have to take care of her mother.

She would clean the house, bathe her, cook, feed her, groom her, and clean her whenever her mother messes up. She does this every morning before leaving for work and at night when she's back from work.

Christiana never had time for herself to talk more about having friends and fun like any normal person should. Her whole time and life she dedicated to her mother. And even though sometimes she feels like giving up, she can't because she knows she is all her mother have. And she loves the sick woman with everything in her.

Life was never fair and easy for Christiana and it was all because of the stupid man who called himself her father.

Now this same man has ruined her life to the highest order. He didn't hesitate to sell her off like she was a thing that can be sold off. And to even worsen the matter, she was sold off as a surrogate, like she was some baby making machine!

Christiana didn't realize when her tears tumbled down freely. 

"No. This can't be true " She mumbled and nodded her head in denial.

"Everything in that video is nothing but the truth " Damien finally said something. He was done eating.

He stood up and walked towards Christiana, his hard gaze piercing into her soft teary eyes.

Christiana was pinned to the dining table and Damien leaned over, creating a little distance between their faces. Elizabeth gulped as his dark eyes sent shivers down her.

" You're now my possession, Christiana and you're going to do your job which is to give me an heir. You are not allowed to step a foot out of this mansion or else I say so and you are going to do only what I tell you to and obey my every command " 

"Because from now onwards... "

"I'm your master and you're my fucking plaything " Smirking dangerously, Damien's held Christiana chin and tilted her head to stare him dead in the eyes.

"And you better not think of trying to escape. Because if you do..."

"I will find you, Christiana...

Christiana watch Damien and Jeremy leave and she slumped to the floor and broke down in tears.

She kept mumbling and nodding in disbelief. With how tough life has made Christiana, nothing was enough to make her cry the way she was doing right now.

But this betrayal shook her to the core and shattered her whole being. She was still finding it difficult to believe her father would do something this despicable to her. She is his daughter, his flesh and blood for crying out loud!

If she was a surrogate to Damien which means last night, he wasn't making love to her. He was just fucking her to get her pregnant! Which means, his seeds were still inside her.

After crying for hours, what finally hit Christiana's mind was getting rid of the sperms inside her. Without thinking twice, she dashed upstairs to the room. She turned the room upside, looking for a contraceptive but to her despair, she found none.

A cry of frustration left her lips.

"What am I going to do now? " Christiana was confused. She can't get pregnant for this man, never!

Christiana let out a deep breath and quickly wiped her tears. After pacing to and fro for some time, she was able to remember something.

It was a herbal medicine she once came across while surfing the net. People claimed it was very effective for preventing pregnancy after sex. Elizabeth wasn't sure if the remedies actually works but she didn't care.

There's always a first time, right?

Christiana composed herself and headed downstairs towards the kitchen. The moment she entered, all the cooks and maid working in the kitchen bowed.

"Good morning, Young Mistress " They all greeted.

Even though Christiana found it awkward, she still decided to play along. Accepting their greetings, Christiana instructed one of the cooks to prepare the herbal tea for her, and when she was asked what she needed it for,

"My whole body is sore. I need it to relieve the pains I'm feeling " Christiana gave a tangible reason. And even though the cooks were confused at this weird tea they were told to make, they didn't have any right to question Christiana, knowing fully well who she was.

She was technically the Madam of the entire mansion.

Christiana waited patiently and it didn't take long before the hot tea was placed before her. Without hesitation, Christiana grabbed the herbal tea and gulped it down all at once. She could feel the burning sensation that rushed down her and she let out a sigh of relief. 

At least one problem has been tackled. 

Now, what about her mom? Who will take care of her if she is to stay looked up here as a prisoner for a whole year? 

Christiana became extremely worried. Her mother was all alone at home with no one beside her for a whole day. She must be starving by now but the poor woman can't even move. She must be struggling to even raise a finger. What if she already peed on herself? Who will be there to clean her up? Is she safe? Is she crying now?

Christiana didn't realize she was already crying again thinking about all of this. She had only one prayer in her mind at that moment.

"God, please protect my Mom for me "

After some time, Christiana realized that staying put and crying won't solve anything. If she wanted to see her mother again then she needs to escape from this place!

Wiping her tears, she decided to go ahead with her the plan she already drew quickly in her head. Firstly, for her to be able to escape, she needed to know the in and out of this mansion so she pretended like she was exploring the mansion, making sure to take note of each room and passage she came across.

But it was hopeless. The mansion was extremely huge and would take almost a lifetime for one to go around it. Christiana wasn't giving up either.

While going down the passage that led to the backyard, Christiana spotted three maids talking to each other. It was obvious, the three women were gossiping. Christiana heard something and quickly hid behind them, eves dropping on their conversation.

"Isn't it weird that Young Master brought a woman home yesterday? Last night the entire mansion was vibrating. I was able to hear everything "

"That's a lie. Young Master's room is soundproofed "

"Fine, I know but I'm sure he was making love to that woman last night "

"Well, she's really beautiful and thick, you know. I don't think any man will be able to resist her though. Her big booty is enough to drive any man crazy. Young Master sure has good taste "

"Shut up! "

"From what I heard from Emily, that woman's name is Christiana, and guess what? "

"What? Tell us already "

"Emily told me that she is nothing but a surrogate, a source for Young Master to get an heir " 

"Really? " 

"Yes. This means Young Master will keep making love to her until she gets pregnant. Emily also told me that he is coming back tonight to continue from where he stopped "

Christiana quickly covered her mouth to prevent the scream that wanted to escape. Damien was coming back tonight to sleep with her again? What does he think she is? A sex toy?

No! She can't let that happen!

Christiana waited for the three gossipers to leave before continuing her journey. She got to the backyard and was more than overjoyed when she spotted a huge black gate. 

Without first of all looking around, Christiana rushed to the gate due to how happy she was. Well, not until she was about to unlock the gate and then...

"Stop right there, Young Mistress! " A thick voice boomed from behind and Elizabeth froze on the spot.
