Lena's POV
I felt sweat drip from my forehead regardless of the coolness from the Air conditioners in Dr Smith's office. My heart raced extremely fast, I felt Dominic Knight's eyes pierce deeply into my soul. I gulped a lump down my throat as his next words left me in anxiety. "Dr, are you sure about this?" I could sense uncertainty laced in his tone.
I fiddled with my palms and tried my possible best to avoid eye contact with Dominic. I had not even processed the fact that destiny had played a funny trick on me by making Dominic be the stranger i had sex with. Of all people, of all men, it just had to be him.
Dr Smith nodded her head slowly and responded in a very serious tone. "Yes Mr Knight. I just conducted a few tests to examine her body and i noticed that there was already an embryo growing in her." Dr Smith said.
Fuck, I was screwed. My countenance fell as I imagined what would happen to me next. It was not like everything was entirely my fault. It was not like I had forced myself on Dominic that might, we both had sex willingly.
"Dr Smith, can you please give us a moment to each other?" Dominic asked in a calm yet deadly tone. Dr Smith nodded her head in agreement, she excused herself out of the office, leaving me alone with Dominic. An awkward silence fell between us, I was unsure of what to say. Did I owe him an explanation?
Dominic suddenly cleared his throat, interrupting my thoughts. "You are pregnant." He stated, his voice was low and menacing. "With my child." He continued. I stood up and adjusted my posture, I tried to take a few steps backward but my entire body felt frozen. My mind was telling me to escape but my body kept doing the exact opposite by remaining stiff.
Dominic's gaze left me stuck on the spot. His eyes were burning with fierce possessiveness. "You broke the contract deal..." He trailed off, slowly taking a few steps closer to me. Dominic paused run a hand through his hair in frustration before continuing to speak, his voice was laced with malice. "You were supposed to be a surrogate and not a lover. Now, somehow you carry my real child."
My entire body fidgeted, I tried to explain myself but I was speechless. As if Dominic sensed that I was about to run. He shook his head at me and yelled "Alfred!" To my uttermost surprise, the door to Dr Smith's office flew open wide and some hefty men dressed in black suit stepped into the office.
Judging by their physical appearance, I knew they were Dominic's security. Nevertheless, I still made the attempt to run but unfortunately for me, His security team was too quick. They hastily grabbed me by the arm, holding me in place as Dominic drew closer.
"You need to stop." I cried out in a weak tone as i struggled to break free from the grip of Dominic's security but of course, that was nearly impossible, they were literally twice the size of me, ripped and muscular.
Dominic choked out a small scoff at my pathetic plea. "Stop what exactly? You do not expect me to just let you go. First you broke our deal and second of all, you now carry my child. You have automatically become mine." Dominic said with a straight face. I felt his hot breath dance around my face. He was only a few inches apart from me, I could sense the possessiveness written all over his face.
"What do you mean by I am yours?" I asked staring at him in disbelief. Dominic sighed in response. "You must marry me, Either that or I ruin you. I am giving you a choice now, choose wisely." He said boldly.
My goodness, even his pride irritated me. He carried himself with so much high regard, way too much that it made me really annoyed. Who did he really think he was? A billionaire? So what? He did not own my life. Marrying him was the last thing I would do.
"I would love to watch your attempt at ruining me." I spat out bitterly. For the first time today, Dominic smiled but I could tell his smile was not a genuine one, rather it seemed like a warning one. "Do you really want to test me?" He retorted, with a raised brow arched at my direction.
"I will start with your sister lying helplessly in the hospital. Once your sick sister no longer has funds for her treatment. I wonder what will go wrong with her. That all depends on you." Dominic said.
He was evil, I gritted my teeth in anger and shook my head in disapproval. "Do not do anything to Emma, I will do whatever you want. Just continue funding her hospital bills. I will marry you, I will do any single thing you ask of." I said in a haste, bowing my head low.
Dominic ordered his boys to let go off me. He raised my chin up and gave me a cold, calculating smile. "Good choice."
That was how everything happened so fast. Dominic and i got married. The ceremony was a small one where only the most important people in our lives were invited.
From that moment onwards, I felt trapped. I was bound to a ruthless Billionaire by a contract and by a child.
On the night of our wedding, Dominic insisted that I slept in the same room with him. I knew that it was his own way of torturing me.
As I laid on the king-sized bed with my back against him, I felt his arms pull me closer to himself. His hot breath lingered against my ear.
"You stole from me Lena.." He slowly whispered. His voice dripped with malice. "Now I will make sure you spend the rest of your life paying for it.”
EMILY POVI was all dressed up immediately and I picked up my dress as I twirled around in front of the mirror admiring how lovely I look.I'm sure this wasn't how I looked like without all the makeups, jewelries and dress. I looked like a sweet dream and I wished to be able to look this way at all times and cost.Waiting for what seemed like an eternity for Aiden, I decided to go out myself. Stepping out of the room as I looked down both directions hoping I would find a single soul to lead me to the ball room.Seeing noone I had to breath in deeply before walking down towards where I could hear noises from.And then I saw Lucas walk out of the room, he stopped abruptly immediately he saw me and I swallowed in. “What the hell are you doing here? How did you get in here? How let you in? And why are you dressed up like the.." he stopped, noticing I haven't answered a single bit of his question. “And who gave you the rights to ask me all thryokevyou deserve to hear a single word
LENA POV“So wait. You're done and you forgot to prepare mine?" Claire asked, looking at the chef with an angry expression on his face. She felt like choking him to death. Ste might be look and act tough, but she was always a goner for food.“ You know I would never do something like that, you need to know that." He said, handing over her trsy to her.I couldn't help but laugh at her actions, they snapped tiger hands at her like I had dib or committed the fearsome deed.The laughter dried up faster than it had quickly arise, I looked around trying to understand what was wrong.That wasn't a bad statement, soon Claire started laughing hysterically.“You are quite a very lucky woman, but you do not laugh when I'm talking or you are laughing at me. It's that simple, stay out of my way and I would do the same to you.” She said, picking up the tray as shs walked away with disgust in her eyes." Is she fine? What happened to her? I didn't say anything that would trigger her annoyance or d
Lena POV: I couldn't do that, the voice wasn't even sounding familiar to me. And I couldn't even try coming out.“Lena out with it. It's me." I ignored and I heard a loud thug in the door, sending it flying across the room as it crashed into the mirror startling me again. “Now. Out. We don't want Domino getting to us because I take you away. That would prolong the problem,so step out woman.” "Gront, get out now!" Domino said, he sounded calm. More calm than usual, heightening my curiosity as I sought for where to peep. “Why? Why do you want to ruin our fun?" The man called, Gront said.His voice was filled with mischievous contrasting with that of Domino's calm voice. I finally found a peep hole, and I looked up with mouth still closed with my hands. Gront looked like a Mafia, but he wasn't wearing a mask. Which means he wasn't just a little assassin, but someone of high ranking and power. “You really think I would keep her here? I know this would be the first place you would c
LENA POV:Oh fuck no. Blood. I felt nauseous immediately, knowing I might fell faint soon. I hated the sight of blood down to my core, it made me feel and look sick.Looking up with my brows knotted in worry, I wanted to be sure he wasn't shot. But who was? The floor was covered with crimson red substance, and I could swear it was blood. Nothing could sway me from that. But after taking a glance, he looked perfectly normal save the tussled hair on his head that added to the dangerous expression on his face right now.“What's happening? Who is shooting and why?" I asked, trying to look beyond his tall frame, but he covered me in a bid to avoid me seeing the scene.If he can try to cover me, then it must be that bad to get such response from him . And I would rather soothe my. curiosity, than getting traumatized. So I shut her eyes immediately and tightly. Without a single word, he carried me over his shoulders as he slammed the door shut and bolted it.“You would have to listen
Lena's POV "I said, what the hell did you find?" Dominic growled angrily. I gulped a lump down my throat, my heart skipped a beat in fear. How did Dominic find out about my snooping? Had I accidentally left something behind? I muttered a short prayer as I wondered what Dominic would do to me.Surprisingly he took a few steps backward away from me. He muttered a cuss under his breath, his hands were curled into a fist and he swung them towards my direction. I shut my eyes close waiting for his fists to land on my face but to my uttermost surprise, his fists land on the wall causing it to make a loud thud noise.I snapped my eyes open to gaze at Dominic with a look of concern plastered on my face. He was hurting yet for some reason, he remained still. He fought back the pain and stared at me with the deadliest eyes ever."This is a fucking warning to you." He said through gritted teeth. He took a few steps closer to me, his hot breath tingled on my bare skin. "Stay away from my things
Lena's POV I felt like a bird in a gilded cage. I was surrounded by luxury yet I felt trapped like a prisoner. Not to mention, Dominic's possessiveness was very overwhelming, his presence reminded me of my fate. I was not his wife, I just happened to be his prisoner under the guise of a wife. Each day passed and all I woke up to was the sound of silence. The mansion was huge, many times the size of my apartment, all the luxuriousness, I was surrounded by beauty yet I had no freedom of my own. Dominic had tight security around me. I had no one to talk to, I was banned from leaving the mansion. All I did was wake up, eat, obey Dominic's commands and sleep. I was not even allowed to see my own sister, Emma. Although Dominic would make sure that a guard allowed me to video call her every night before I fall asleep but that was it.I was grateful that at least my suffering was not in vain. Emma looked like she was doing a lot more better. I could tell that she was getting the necessary

Lena's POV My heart began to race extremely fast, I looked sideways noticing that the stranger from last night was nowhere to be found. I took it as an opportunity to leave immediately in order to avoid future embarrassment.I hastily slipped out of the stranger's bed, I changed into my clothes and tiptoed towards the door entrance, not after grabbing my purse. I pushed the door open, the creaking noise made me mutter a cuss under my breath. The last thing I wanted to do was attract the attention of anyone.As i stepped into the brightly lit hallways, I realized that this happened to be the same hotel that the masquerade ball had taken place. As i made my way past the receptionist desk, some cleaners were cleaning up the mess from last night. My phone suddenly beeped loudly, jolting me out of my thoughts and back to reality.I fetched my phone out of my purse and gazed at the screen. My eyes widened in shock at how many times Emily had tried to reach me last night, twenty times! She
LENA'S POV My heart raced extremely fast in fear as my eyes carefully read the content of the document in front of me. I wiped the drop of sweat on my forehead with the back of my palm. My pen hovering over the contract that would change my life forever, positively. My financial freedom and the life of my sister all depended on this contract. One surrogacy, one child and five million dollars, the price of my freedom. Most importantly, I was concerned about my sister's life. Emma was suffering from a debilitating disease. Her hospital treatment costed a fortune, I could barely afford to even pay for the hospital bed talkless of her treatment. That was how I crossed paths with Dominic Knight, one thing led to another and we arrived at a contract. The terms were clear, I would carry his child and in return, a life changing sum of amount, five million dollars. The advantageos part was that I would never meet the father.I had to seize the opportunity, hoping that there would be no reg
