Ken stepped out of the elevator, loosening his tie slightly as he headed towards his secretary's office. The long hours were beginning to weigh on him, but he knew he had to stay sharp. There was still so much to wrap up before his evening meeting. He pushed the door open with usual briskness, expecting to see papers neatly stacked on his secretary's desk.

But what he saw instead stopped him right in his tracks.

“ Ah…Bella?” he blurted out, blinking twice as if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Sitting gracefully on the visitors chair was not Lisa, but Bella, Lisa's close friend. She had her legs crossed neatly, her polished nails tapping lightly against her handbag. The smile on her face widened at his shocked expression.

Bella tilted her head slightly. “Ken , why are you surprised to see me here? she asked smoothly, rising to her feet.

Ken quickly tried to recover from his initial shock …”l…l wasn't expecting to see you” he said, adjusting his wrist Watch nervously. What are you d

  • Unexpectedly His   Chapter forty Two: Broken Boundaries

    Chapter Forty Two: Broken BoundariesIt was a quiet Sunday evening, the kind that made everything feel still. The sky was a soft shade of gold, the air calm and gentle. Ken sat under the mango tree in his compound, sipping wine from a glass while scrolling through his phone. The evening breeze brushed lightly against his face, carrying the scent of freshly cut grass.Across the yard, his security man, Emeka, was washing one of the cars, humming softly to himself. Everything felt peaceful until a loud knock came at the gate.Emeka stopped scrubbing and listened. When the knock came again, this time more insistent, he sighed, rinsed his hands quickly in a bucket of water, and walked briskly to the gate.“Who be that?” he asked, peeking through the small hole.A dark-skinned lady stood outside, wearing a fitted grey gown. Her expression was calm but uncertain.“Good evening,” she said quietly.“Evening,” Emeka replied. “Who you dey find?”“I’m looking for Mr. Ken,” she said.Emeka raised

  • Unexpectedly His   Chapter Forty one: The Return of Bella

    Chapter Forty one : The Return of BellaIt was 10 o’clock in the morning. The sun was calm, slipping gently through the white curtains in Lisa’s living room. She had decided not to go to the office that day. Her spirit just wasn’t in the mood for the usual stress. Instead, she chose to work from home.Her table looked simple but well-arranged. A cup of hot coffee sat beside her notepad and pen, while her laptop camera was on a virtual meeting in progress. Lisa looked stunning in her casual outfit: a cream-colored blouse tucked into a pair of jeans, her hair tied neatly, and a pair of glasses sitting perfectly on her nose.She spoke with confidence, her voice calm and professional as she discussed figures and deadlines with her client. Everything about her that morning carried a mix of focus and quiet elegance.Just when she was about to round up the meeting, her doorbell rang. The sound came sharp and clear, interrupting her flow.Without looking up from her screen, Lisa said softly,

  • Unexpectedly His   Chapter Forty: Shadows of the Unexpected.

    Chapter Forty: Shadows of the UnexpectedKen could barely sleep that night. The call from the doctor kept echoing in his mind like a drumbeat he couldn’t silence. Every time he shut his eyes, his thoughts wandered back to that brief, polite voice on the phone “Mr. Ken, please come by my office tomorrow. There’s something I’d like to discuss.”It sounded simple, but something about the doctor’s tone unsettled him. Why would the hospital call him out of the blue? He wasn’t owing any bills, and his last check-up had gone smoothly. Still, the thought of hospitals always made him uneasy. Maybe it was the smell of disinfectant or the quiet hallways that reminded him of loss. He sighed deeply, turned over on his bed, and muttered to himself, “Whatever it is, I’ll face it.”By morning, he tried to shake off the worry. He fixed a light breakfast and spent most of the late morning cleaning around the house to keep his mind occupied. Around 2 p.m., he decided to step out to the supermarket nearb

  • Unexpectedly His   Chapter Thirty Nine: A new Beginning

    lChapter Thirty Nine: A New BeginningTwo weeks later.It was a quiet Saturday morning, and Ken had just finished arranging a few things around the house. The living room was spotless, and everything looked in order. He walked into the bathroom, humming softly as he brushed his teeth. The house felt unusually calm, just the way he liked it on weekends.Suddenly, his phone started ringing from the bedroom. At first, he ignored it, thinking it might be one of his business calls. But when the ringing persisted, he rinsed his mouth quickly and walked out to check who it was.The moment he saw the caller ID, his expression changed. It was the doctor from the hospital.Ken’s heartbeat quickened a little. He grabbed the phone and answered immediately. “Good morning, Doctor.”“Good morning, Mr. Ken,” the doctor said in a cheerful tone. “I have some good news for you. Miss Mercy just completed her test this morning, and it came out positive. She’s pregnant.”For a moment, Ken stood frozen, th

    Chapter Thirty Eight : Silent DecisionLisa stood frozen in Ken’s office, her eyes wide with disbelief. For a few seconds, she couldn’t even find the right words to respond. “Ken…” she finally managed to say, her voice almost breaking. “Did you just say you applied for a surrogate?”Ken, who had been leaning casually against his desk, looked completely calm. A faint smile played on his lips as he replied, “Not just that, Lisa. I’ve already applied, and they’ve found a perfect match for me.”Lisa blinked, still trying to process what she had just heard. “You can’t be serious,” she said, frowning deeply. “I thought you were joking when you mentioned this before. I never imagined you would actually go through with it.”Ken walked over to the window, his hands tucked in his pockets, and looked outside. “Lisa, I told you I wasn’t joking that day. I meant every word. I’ve made up my mind about this.”She crossed her arms, frustration slowly replacing her shock. “Ken, this is a bad idea. You

  • Unexpectedly His   Chapter Thirty Seven:A New Beginning.

    Chapter Thirty-Seven — A New BeginningIt was a calm evening, around 8 p.m. The soft sound of clinking plates echoed from the dining area as Mr. Walter, Ken’s father, finished his dinner with Ken and Lisa. The house help was clearing the table while the three of them walked toward the sitting room. The mood in the house was warm and peaceful, but underneath that peace was a silent sadness Mr. Walter was traveling the next day, and everyone could feel the weight of his absence already.They settled into the large living room, the gentle hum of the ceiling fan filling the silence. Mr. Walter adjusted his reading glasses, looked at his son with seriousness, and said, “Ken, you’ll be keeping an eye on my staff—my driver, the security men, and the house help. You know how some of them can be careless when I’m not around.”Ken nodded slowly, his face calm. “Sure, Dad. I’ll do that.”“I’ll be gone for six months,” his father continued, his voice calm but firm. “You have to make me proud in m
