The look on his face when he heard his mom had address me, there was disgust on his face one that would make someone cringe. "I don't remember sleeping with any other woman except from my wife, so it's either you pay her off like she wants....." He sized me from my feet up until my head and mumbled much to my hearing, "People like her will do anything for money" he closed his eyes and groaned like he couldn't wait to leave my presence.
I was ready to defend myself because of how offended I was with his statement. Normally I won't do a thing like this or think of doing it but I was begged by a woman who was desperate for a child as I was for money, she had tears, one that couldn't be controlled which moved me to a point I felt Good had been cruel not to give a kind-hearted woman a chance to hold a child in her arm.
I moved to give him a piece of my mind, one that would slap so hard it's stings on his face..... his handsome face.
"Son please don't be rude" Damon's mother said before I could give him my actual piece of mind. "She is actually the woman Elizabeth met for the surrogacy thing, or didn't she tell you? I am sure Elizabeth lied a lot but I can't believe she didn't let you know about this....."
"Beatriz! Never speak about my wife like that again, you and I know you are not even half the woman she is" Damon blurted out evilly, he didn't care that woman he was talking to was his mother.
I am already tired of this family and I only have just put a step in.
"How dare you.... I raised you, gave you my nipples to suckle on, took you to school by myself especially when he had nothing, I did everything thing for you and you still can't get over a single mistake that I made...." She paused and paced back and front stamping her feet on the ground. "I would have you know that your righteous wife took your sperm without your notice and gave it to this woman, she did this at your very own back, under your nose and you had no clue about it....."
Damon was silent. I would have been too if my wife never told me about something we should have discussed together, only to find out from my mother whom I despised.
I hated having to be in the middle of this argument, because Elizabeth was no longer and now the fact she used me for a substitute would make me seem like a bad person.
If I knew her husband never knew of this, I would never had done it. Every meeting we had she always tried to cover up for Damon's absence, because of this I personally termed him irresponsible for having to leave his wife to do the whole work by herself but now seeing all this family argument, I realized one thing and that I was in on a bumpy ride......
"Ms Priscilla let me take you to your room" Damon's mother, Beatriz took my left hand and guided me to the stairs. I felt someone get a tight grip on my right hand, a grip that won't let go and was persistent which made me to turn to see who it actually was.
"I need to have a word with her" he dragged me to follow him, Beatriz who had been holding my left hand dropped down immediately, letting go of my hand. Damon never bothered to check if she was alright, he just pulled me to an enclosed office with a very large table and an executive chair.
He threw me inside like I had no value and quickly locked the door and covered the curtains incase of any known Intruders.
"Get rid of the child, I promise to pay you the amount of money that you need or even more, I will give you what you want right now...."
"You would give me what I want?" I asked again so I could be sure and then he nodded.
He mentioned all the tantalizing places any person in place would have wanted and I was fascinated.
"........" He waited so patiently for my response. "Then.... Let me have this child"
He paused. Let out a heartily laugh and then his face got really serious and dark, so dark I could see his veins showing, his anger rising.
"I think I have not been clear enough so I would repeat it again, I want that growing thing gotten rid of...." His voice strong and hard you could feel the evilness he possessed.
"I can't.... Your wife begged and I promised her, she doesn't deserve to have something she worked really hard for taken away from her just because she is gone, my promise to her is greater than the millions you are offering, please excuse me...."
I pushed open the curtains and tried open the door forgetting he had locked and taken the key away. He came over to my side and said nothing only to open the door and leave.
After that encounter I never got to see him, though we lived at the same mansion, I was never able to cross path with him..... Which was a good thing if you considered how I turned down his offer.
The maids said he was a really busy person and was actually not always around, he could go for a business trip or travel to another head quarters to handle the situation there, in a nutshell, he was never home to his wife.
For the first time since I stayed here the power went off in the whole house while I was trying to locate my room, I touched on the door trying to feel the texture to see if it was mine, they were all the same so it was actually hard to tell.
When I eventually found it, I quickly located the bed and laid on it. I tried to cover myself with the blanket only for me to get a arm wrapped around my waist.
"Elizabeth" the calm husky voice oozed through my ear.
Five years later Though the surgery on Damon was successful, he wasn't responding to treatment. I kept believing that each month my belly grew that he was one step from waking up. Sometimes I would cry on his bed that he does wake up but be honest what has crying ever done, crying didn't bring back my mum and so it was impossible to bring him back. At the ninth month I had camped in his room for several days to see if I monitored him he would wake up and then.... Lest I forget, during those months I was busy trying to get Damon out from his coma, I had actually attended Beatriz hearing. I visited her a day to that and she apologized for all that she had done and told me that she actually liked me for her son but with the deal she had with Alicia couldn't let her love me like she did before. She told me she would confess to everything and take the entire blame but that wasn't what I wanted her to do, so I had ask her to focus on telling the truth. 
She was running her own entire wedding in our faces and she was doing pretty good at it. When everyone were very much seated Alicia asked for all of her men to leave as there was no need for them being here since there was no place we could run to."Today is for us, Damon. I hope the ropes aren't too tight on you, you see I would love to release you but I can't trust that you would stay still till our wedding is over" she said softly. "Please carry on"The officiator began with a few passages from the Bible about marriage and how sacred it is.... I could see Alicia getting impatient with him and she gave him an order that he should speed things up."Hey.... Psst" Jeanette called for my attention from the order row. "Aren't you going to do something to stop the wedding? I mean if it was my man getting married to someone else I know that I won't seat still and let her snatch him away from..... Fine I get that we aren't on good terms and believe it I do
Priscilla POVSeeing Beatriz leave in that manner had spiked the room for gossip as silent whispers from the workers could be heard. I slowly slipped out of the living room after Alicia had gone somewhere probably to check on Beatriz, those two really care for each other and Xander had left to search for a good lawyer for his mother.I heard silent sobs coming out of Elizabeth's room as she packed all of her things into her luggage bag. I knew she was heartbroken and had felt bad for all that she had done, but the things she did to Damon was pretty much despicable and I would side with Damon anytime any day if compared.I spent an hour in my room trying to process all that had happened. Would Damon had actually gotten his mother arrested for my sake? If so, how did he know she was the culprit? And if that were to be the case, why wasn't Alicia arrested as well? She is the one who spearheaded the entire mission and now she is walking free like nothing has happened.
Alicia POVThe heel on my stilettos made a sound each step I took on this cold tiled ground. I held my breathe from taking in the stench of all these criminals that were being thrown into jail for some particular period of time.I went straight to the officer who had arrested Beatriz an hour ago or two.... Somewhere there about, was to busy laughing to had even realize the time she was arrested."I'm here to see Mrs Beatriz" I said, flashing those teeth that I had just got whitened for this particular reason.... Smiling actually makes you younger."Mrs Beatriz?" He said lifting a questioning brow, "are you here in place of her family cause I just spoke with Damon and he said none of his family members will be bailing her out, they have even made that clear to the judge""Oh.... I am not here for that at all, infact I am only concerned as to how she is coping, I don't want to go against Damon's wishes" I said as my smile grew wider, I just can't belie
Alicia POVTwo years agoI wept profusely as I got the message of the cancellation of my wedding to Damon. Our wedding was the next day and everybody had already anticipated for this day to come for me, they all knew how much I loved Damon.Though I had no single clue as to what was the cause of the call off I still had expected Damon to had called rather than sending me a text message. The thought of having to send out a message to my invitees about Damon calling off the wedding had me shed tears even more.Despite of all that I was feeling inside I can never hate Damon rather my love for him grew. I knew he had his eyes on someone else that he couldn't reach but still that didn't stop me. I loved him ever since our university days where we both studied a different course but still cross each other's part daily.Our first meeting had brought about "love at first sight" for me. It was like an over used drama scene when a girl is been pushed over by a
I knew it was impossible that Damon gave what was mine to another woman whose job is to crave for his attention and does all she can to get it. But it did make me feel uncomfortable as my eyes didn't leave her hand, I was focused on it so much that I had forgotten what was going on.To be honest I felt betrayed, which is why I calmed myself with a believe that there was a coincidence she had the ring on her finger, she probably would've bought the ring at the same store Damon got his. I should be calm, don't think Priscilla, please don't.Damon turned to Link to get Elizabeth's parents and that Liliana be given to her nanny to watch over for now."Why are you bringing my parent into our problem, this should be settled by the both of us and not them" Elizabeth begged as Damon was adamant on bringing them in despite her plead, "Stop Brett now, please.... Xander! Bloody do something cause your name is on it""What did you say? Whose name is on it? I thought
