I have never felt something like that, never have been so scared. No, I was petrified. The intensity of my fear could be seen on my forehead and palms in the form of cold sweat, and from my rapid and troubling breaths.
I returned back to the motel. I didn't even change and freshen up when I heard a loud and aggressive knock on my door. And maybe because I was so exhausted that I opened it without any thought. But what was waiting for me outside gave me the shock of my life!
A row of men in black suits stood in front of me.
They didn't give me any time to breath or yell and out of nowhere grabbed me and began to drag me with them. I wanted to scream for help but didn't got any chance as they escorted me into a car, and soon my mouth and wrist were bounded with a cloth and taken to a luxurious house.
"Who are you all?" I asked, trying to sound chill.
They didn't answer and took me inside.
A man was sitting on the leather sofa, wearing a dark blue three-piece. He didn't answer me yet but his mere gaze on me.
Every cell in my body was screaming for me to run but my legs turn into jelly.
I so desperately wanted to look away but couldn't make myself break the contact with his predatory eyes, it was as if he had gained control and held captivated them.
Those fierce and cold eyes suddenly dropped down on my wrist and they darkened. He looked at the bodyguard who escorted me here and roared.
"I told you to bring her in whole and without any scratch, now such a beautiful item is hurt by you!"
An item? Did he refer to me? I looked at the bruises on my wrists, and I wanted to pull down my sleeves, but the man's eyes completely froze me.
My heart pounded in my chest and my mouth ran dry, I was so busy thinking about a way out that I couldn't react to being labelled an item.
Who are they? Why are you arresting me? I'm pretty sure I don't have any money left to be scammed.
His subordinate immediately knelt down and begged, “I'm really sorry sir! It's all my fault! Please have mercy! I will never repeat the mistake!"
What kind of situation is this? Is he the one who wants to save me? No! He looked like I was his prey, he just wasn't happy that his prey was touched by others.
But have I offended him? I'm sure I've never seen him, a man as gorgeous as him, as long as I've seen him once, I'm sure I won't forget, his chest muscles are strong, his jaw is sharp, even if he doesn't speak, he was impressed to me.
He is so good looking! But it doesn't take away my fear, especially when I already have a little soybean in my belly, I don't want to put him in danger!
"You will be forgiven if Miss Rosalyn here doesn't mind the bruises on her delicate wrist," He let out without breaking the staring contest that we were having. I felt forced but still couldn't look away.
He knows my name? This made me even more confused, but I couldn't even say a word, and I could feel my body was shivering.
But the wailing of the man on his knees made me have to ask for his tolerance.
"I-I…It's okay. I'm f-fine so please let him go," I tried with racing heartbeats and trembling hands, he looked at me ironically.
"Wow, I didn't expect my child's mother to be so kind. But now I regret it," he chuckled wickedly and I felt my cheeks beginning to burn in embarrassment. He looked at his men and ordered. "Take him out."
The men were quick to implement his orders. The bodyguard wailed and cried, but successfully got pulled away and soon I heard a gunshot and a scream.
I gasped heavily as if my soul left my body for a second. Did..did he just k-kill him?
Did he said ‘my child’?! So, h-he was the sperm donator?!
He raised a brow as if he already knew what I was thinking. I did not move because my body was too paralysed for that. He looked amused though, as if he was feeling satisfied with my shock. He began to walk towards me and I unknowingly took a step back.
"It was an accident, I didn't mean to..to bear y-your sperm on purpose," I tried to come up with a reasoning in trepidation.
He stopped and menacingly tilted his head, and I halted as well.
"What are you going to do with this matter?" He asked.
I don't know what I'm gonna do. How could I think in a situation like this? But one thing that I'm sure of is that I can't lose this child.
"Please, I must bear this child because I probably will never have another chance to conceive a second child," I told him, or more like begged him.
"Whatever your reason is, I'm not interested," He turned to his man and extended his hand. The big and scary man put a file in his hands. He clutched the file and snarled at me with a deadly glare that made me swallow in fear.
"Your debt bills," He sarcastically said while throwing the bills at me. "Your lovely husband has also taken the loan which adds to your already high debt. If you go out, there will be loan sharks coming for your throat immediately. How are you thinking of dealing with that?"
I was zoning out staring at the bills on the ground while he talked. It sucks that I saw the wrong person fall in love and hate myself for blindly trusting them. But I gotta get it together quick.
"I'll handle it myself." Looking at him stubbornly, I know that I am in a messy situation now, but this is not the reason for me to give up my child. When I think about the possibility that I may never have a child, I feel like the floor is giving way around me that I can't bear it anymore.
I won't let anyone take my child, not even a demon!
"How? I looked into your income, and there's no way your salary can cover the debt." he sneered ruthlessly, "I'll take care of the baby once it's born.”
"NO! You can't take my baby away! He's mine!" I yelled out and tears welling in my eyes.
"You have no choice. You'd better take the money and leave after the baby is born, I will not allow my child to live with a stupid woman!"
I tremble nonstop as the pain in my chest and heart just don't go away, instead it ten folds to the point I feel like I was going to collapse right there.
No! I can't let him win like this. I won't come off as weak and helpless. I know I'm beyond scared but that doesn't mean I'm fragile enough to let him walk all over me and snatch my child away just like that.Money? Does he really think I want his money?"Yes, I'm broke right now but I won't sell my child to you for money. In fact, as long as you're willing to investigate, I don't choose to be a surrogate for the money, I just fucking want my own kids!" I yelled at him.My heart was beating harder. It was the first time I was speaking out loud to someone. I always thought that being kind would save you as much trouble as possible, but the irony is that trouble always comes to kind people. Although all of this should be caused by Nick, but he disappeared, and the bad luck brought me a demon, who wanted to rob me of my child.I stared at him angrily, and I was pretty sure I wouldn't back down if he pointed a gun at me, but my little unborn baby... am I going to lose him?Could this demo
After that devil left the room, I was left alone there as his man followed him as loyal dogs after locking the room.I wanted to leave or run too but I know they were not fool enough to just let me walk away that easily so I didn't try either for my own safety.But will I really be imprisoned until the baby is born? What kind of situation am I in? What can I do? I know no one can help me, I am not an orphan, but my parents will only put me in a worse situation.I exhaled a long sigh. I was so exhausted from worrying about my child being taken away all day, who hadn't even been born yet, that I didn't even have time to rest. So I decided to just go to bed and think about what I needed to do the next day.In the morning, the alarm on my phone wakes me up, reminding me that I need to go to work.Although, there's a feeling that Lorcan will not agree, I still need to resign properly because one year later, I still need to continue my job and my life. I couldn't just lose my professional r
Lorcan's pov.Sitting in the corner of my luxury swimming pool, I lay down on the bench and watched all these spoiled and corrupted rich adults dancing through my sunglasses.They all rushed to my party after receiving just one phone call, half adore for party half be scared of me. Whatever the reason was, I prefer it when they do so and move in the manner I want them. It feels good as they obey me."Excuse sir," I heard Travis, my assistant, “there’s something about Miss Rosalyn.”I turned to look in his direction as he came to stand beside the bench. "What’s up?" I said as nonchalantly as I could."Miss Rosalyn was being bullied by her colleagues in the company," Travis reported.I have asked the bodyguards to keep an eye on her. I don't want my kid to be hurt because of that kind-hearted and foolish girl."Do you want to help her or want me to do something sir?"As Travis told me about her, I fiddled with the steel bracelet that was around my wrist. “Travis, you’re such a nice guy.
Lorcan's pov."My little baby!" Grandma scooped me in a tight and loving embrace. "Why is it so hard to even see my child's face these days?""I'm sorry granny, I was really busy," I gently told her. She's the only woman who's allowed to touch me and I don't feel like throwing up. "I will visit you more often from now on."After my mother died while saving me, my father became really indifferent to me because he believed that I was the cause of her death. Which I kinda was. His hatred towards me started after that. I have had a very bad relationship with my father.When I was seven years old, that one time I couldn't bear my father's coldness so I decided to run away from home but as I was running low on fate, I was kidnapped and sold to a vicious couple. I was severely abused by them, both physically and mentally. However, after a sudden fire burned that couple I was saved. When the police arrived, I was sent back to the Valentino family after a fingerprint comparison.That incident
The aura of Lorcan was just like his vibe, making anyone impossible to say no to him, his amber eyes were like a whirlpool, sucking me into it.He leaned to me, closer and closer, and his lips were almost on mine.Is he going to kiss me? As if being bewitched, I couldn't help closing my eyes."Do you want this? Little thing?" His cold voice was like a bait now, I was like a small fish under the water that couldn’t help biting fishing lure.I grabbed his arm tightly.Suddenly, he laughed out while his eyes filled with disdain."What are you expecting? I will kiss you? Get real, I will never kiss a woman as stupid as you!" His vicious words snapped me out of it.What the hell happened to me? Is it because I am pregnant with his child, why am I tempted by him again and again!"Screw off!" I pushed him away. “You're so shameless! Will you fucking male superiority boost up when you’re teasing a woman like this?!"I spat angrily, maybe I was being too bold in front of him because I was kind
I jerked as I blinked my eyes. I had no idea how long I slept but I was still feeling tired and worn out. I decided to go back to sleep since I don't have to go to work.However, I quickly opened my eyes again when my hand came in contact with someone's hand. I got the shock of my life as my soul left my body when I saw Lorcan lying on my right side. I looked in perplexity at him with wide horrified eyes.He looked really different when he was sleeping. Maybe more tamed and calm. And..more handsome. Much better than his scary and vicious self."Good morning," He suddenly let out in his deep and hoarse morning voice which was so tempting and irresistible that I brought the blanket near me even though I felt hot."What happened? You're free to stare, I don't mind," He chuckled and opened his eyes.I felt a flush creeping over my neck and cheeks when our eyes met and I sat up quickly to avoid him.Feeling embarrassed to face him I kept my eyes in my lap, though I could feel his gaze pene
"Grandma, please take a rest first. You seem really tired," Lorcan asked, clearly trying to change the topic."Lorcan sweetie, Rosalyn is perfect for you-""Grandma please, I don't want to talk about this matter right now," He cuts her off before glancing in my direction.He looked really annoyed and angry.Grandma sighed and nodded helplessly. But before she could leave she took my hands again in hers and asked. "Please think about my suggestion. I really like you and I would be happy if you became my granddaughter-in-law."I didn't reply to her not because I didn't want to but because I didn't have any answer. I don't want to upset this poor lady but I also don't want to marry a man who doesn't love me. I don't want to agree but he's right. A marriage without love and care is like a living hell.I know it because I have seen my mother going through it."I like you as well grandma," I let out softly, and forced out a small smile. "Please take care of your health."She smiled back but
Lorcan's pov.I walked into the club. I never anticipated returning here again in such a short period of time. I'm also shocked, but if I want to get married, I need to find an object of my own choice.I am aware of how cruel my father can be, and if he has made up his mind that he wants me to get married, he will not stop pestering me until I do. However, I will never wed a person of his choice.I selected a group of women, they were all beautiful but still I don't know why I don't find myself interested in any of them. They don't seem as appealing as I expected them to be, and I just know I don't wanna touch any of them. Their smiles seem fake and their facade was that of gold diggers.Their scent made me sick, none of them smelled like that Surrogate. Her fragrance was comforting and her looks were above them all.I shook my head. Why the hell am I thinking of her? I'm here to get a wife and not to compare her traits to them.I sat alone and gulped down my drink after I sent them a
