Chapter 39Meyer smiled reassuring. "The power of surrogacy can never be underestimated." The smiled reached Meyer's eyes as he looked from Daniel who held Patricia's hands to Patricia who had hope on him. Her entire focus was on him. Her eyeballs gazed questioningly at him. Daniel fixed a cool gazed on him. Scrutinizing for any sign of lies. Satisfied, he let out a slow smile which warmed his face and lighten his universe. "There is a solution to this," Meyer began conversationally as he held their gazes. "Surrogacy is of two type. Traditional and Gestational surrogacy. In your case, we will do a traditional surrogacy." "May I please know what a traditional surrogacy is and the difference between the two surrogacy?" Daniel asked interrupting Meyer's statement."My bad," he slammed a hand on his temple, as he slowly removed the stethoscope hung around his neck. He un-knotted two button from his shirt. "I had assumed you knew what a surrogacy was. But, I will explain starting from t
Chapter 40Daniel blinked hard, disbelieving his ears. He glanced away from her, looking far away with a confused facial expression. Could he do this? The pains from his previous relationship clouded his mind, reminding him of the heartache Janie subjected him to. His eyes darkened. "Come on, it's not such a bad idea," Patricia persuaded with a cool, soft tone. Her eyes pleading for a chance. She tilted Daniel's face to herself. Her eyes bulged in its socket as she held his gaze, unconsciously licking her bottom lips. "You like me right?" Daniel blinked. "It's not about me. You deserve better." He cupped her face, staring deep into her eyes. "I can't give you what you deserve. Love. I have been hurt." Patricia swallowed. Yeah. He was hurt by Janie but he didn't know she knew about his past and was related to the lady who hurt him. Patricia was certain his hatred for her might be revived when he discovered the truth - her relationship with Janie, something she dreaded with her enti
Chapter 41Patricia shrieked engulfing Daniel in a tight hug that had him reeling back.Her fragrance filled his nostrils. Hesitating, he wrapped his hands tightly around her in a possessive hug. His eyes involuntarily shut on its own. This was paradise on earth, he realized uncomfortably. Cognizant of her action, Patricia tensed, consciously aware of Daniel's hands around her. With a mind to will, she hushed her racing heart. She heard him inhaled slowly before releasing her."Thank you once again." Patricia gazed up at him with a smile. "But, I am still wondering, what changed your mind?" Stealthily, she moved away from his opened arms, snatching the parcel from the couch where she had tossed in her enthusiastic state."I don't know." He gave a nonchalant shrug. "Or could it be my pathetic story?" She whispered slyly, giving him a 'I know it smile look.' Daniel chuckled, "Of course not." His face sobered as he pushed himself towards the couch opposite him. "My office was broken i
Chapter 42"Yes! Yes!" Kate beamed with a smile. She couldn't let such great opportunity passed her by. No! Not when it could earned her an accessed to his office, house and gained some personal levels. Graham's excitement knew no bound at her acceptance. He was so fucking scared of being rejected. He almost didn't asked but then he was glad to have given it a try. Lifting her hands to his lips, Graham kisses it holding her gaze with his heart in his mouth. "Thank you." It was a privilege.***Mark drove into the driveway, turning off the ignition, he stepped out. Making his way towards the front door. Pulling the door opened, a note fell from it. Struggling to balance his racing heart and the rushed of adrenaline, he bent to picked it up. "You are not Graham's son. The earlier you let go of those family and accept me as your father. The better for you. You have a choice, choose to remain with Graham and loose them one after the other, commencing from Daniel. Your so called fake b
Chapter 43"I did it because I wanted to be close to you. I loved you. Enough to give you my innocence. Enough to make you my first man to ever get down with me but your pig headed brain couldn't see the handwriting on the wall. You were quite oblivious to it which shattered my heart." Hot tears streaked down her cheeks. "But you know what? Like a moron, I kept believing that one day you are going to start looking at me the way I have always wanted you to do." Alicia swallowed her sob. "Passionately. But it seems I have been building my castle in the sky."Emotional blackmail. This was an alternative to her right now. She needed to deviate his thought away from the note towards her, probably he might not find out the truth. Staring at Mark under her long eyelashes, Alicia noted how indifferent he was to her statement. She sneered. More actions. She was a known drama queen. Definitely, Mark must also fall to her ploy while dancing to her tune. "What was my wrong? Falling hopelessly i
Chapter 44"Can you stop barking like a dog?" Alicia bellowed, stepping out from his bedroom. Her jaw dropped as she saw fire spurting from his ears. The venom in his eyes were poisonous to her system. She retraced her steps, blinking rapidly to correct her vision. Hold on for a fucking second. Was she day dreaming? Truly, Mark wasn't coming at her with the kitchen knife.Was he? The rate at which he ascended the staircase forced Alicia to rephrased her thought. Indeed, Mark was coming after her with the sheer objective to murder her."Don't worry. I am sure as hell going to teach you how a dog bark after I might have carved out your callous heart and fed it to my dog!" He spatted, closing the distance between them. "Who the fuck are you?" He snarled murderously. What in fuck was he spewing from his buccal cavity?The perplexity in her eyes confused him for a seconds. Mark blinked an eye. He won't be deceived twice. Alicia was a green snake in a green grass. He needed to unsheathe hi
Chapter 45The wall clock ticks noisily. Sun rays streaked in through the blind. She stirred lightly. The alarm choose that moment to rang, fulfilling its purpose. "Ooh.. I have got to sleep for some minutes." Patricia muttered. It had been a month since her meeting with Doctor Meyer. A month since she did an Intrauterine insemination. Luckily, she was medically fit for the task. "Hey, I am off to work. I can't believe you are still on bed till now." Daniel stepped out of the restroom, fully dressed and prepared for work. His office suit clung tightly to his body. Patricia ogled. She found it difficulty to avert her gaze from him. "What is it by the time?" Her voice came out softly. Patricia dragged the duvet closer to her upper body. Her eyes shut. "It's Ten am." "Ten?" She yelled, roughly kicking the duvet as she stepped out of the bed. A rushed of dizziness hit her hard. The urged to spew out the content of her stomach sent her reeling to the restroom in a hurry. Daniel trac
Chapter 46 Daniel's eyes darkened as he rasped an hand in his head. What was wrong with Patricia and why was she acting up? He sauntered towards the bed, grabbed his briefcase and glanced swiftly at Patricia. "I don't hate you. You have to..." The ringing of his phone stopped his words midway. Daniel muttered an inaudible 'excuse me'. His eyes fixed on the screen, his fist clenched at the caller ID. "Hey!""Lovely Daniel. The love of my life. My world and everything. How are you?" A feminine voice asked behind the phone. A light chuckled erupted from the depth of her stomach further infuriating Daniel. "You are surprise that I called right? I missed you!" She sobered up, amusement gone from her voice."Janie!"Patricia tensed at the name. She tapped her feet lightly. Her keen eyes bored holes on Daniel's body."It's obvious that you are mentally insane. Getting you to a psychiatric hospital will be a waste of valuable money. You need to be locked up in an asylum.""Of course darling
