A Wrong Surrogate for the CEO-Chapter 20: You’ll move

Does it mean Mike lied to her all along? He told her he hadn’t slept with Lara for at least a month before their divorce. How then did she become pregnant?

The divorce is over two months already. It’s going to be three months in a couple of days. How can she be pregnant with his child and hide it away from Mike?

She wants to blackmail them in years to come. But she’s not going to let that happen. How she wishes the CEO doesn’t have to stroll to the scene at the moment. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Lara would have bled to death and she wouldn’t spare her a glance. But then, the story hadn’t ended yet, in fact it had just begun. Mike must explain things to her.

Mike in his office couldn’t concentrate on anything else. What is happening with Lara? Is she pregnant and hiding it away from him because they are divorced?

But there’s no way she can be pregnant. He never failed in ensuring that he does his assignment well in ensuring she never gets pregnant.

While this was going on in Mike’s mind, Tolu barged in. She was looking all swollen up and furious. She banged her fist on Mike’s desk violently.

"Tell me, is Lara probably pregnant and are you responsible for it?" She asked, glaring at him like a detective interrogating a suspect.

"You need to believe me. Lara cannot be pregnant and if she does, it’s not mine. It’s either she faked the scene or she had always cheated on me..." Mike explained.

"It better be so, because we both saw her bleed, we heard her words, crying painfully for her baby. If she turns out that she’s pregnant with your child, I’ll end our engagement and ruin her and her bastard child..." Tolu threatened.

"On my life. I promise you that I don’t know or have anything to do with that wench" Mike assured her. It’s true that he had some moments with Lara before they got divorced but he was more than careful not to get her pregnant.

Besides, he has never forgotten to ensure she had her tea as a habitual thing after love making. There’s no chance for her to get pregnant at all.

***************

"I can’t endanger your life and that of my unborn children. You’ll move into a more safe and convenient place until these babies are born..." Curtis analysed but Lara asked "I haven’t agreed to your only option"

Curtis sighed softly. He’d never sweat over anything like he was at that moment. How can he have to exert so much energy and persuasive skill to convince a woman?

This is someone that he wouldn’t spare a glance on a normal day but here he is, trying hard to persuade and yet, she’s playing hard to get.

"Like I told you before, you don’t have an option. I’ll have my assistant arrange your bills and you’ll be discharged. You’ll be doing yourself a lot good to just follow their orders" Curtis declared and glared at her coldly.

... Lara felt his cold stare was nothing to be compared to his stone cold heart at the moment. There was nothing emotional about him and he seemed to have given a final verdict.

Curtis’ cold gaze was filled with irritation for the poor woman. If things hadn’t gone the way it did, how can a woman like her carry his children?

She’s not pure like he would have wanted the surrogate mother for his baby to be. She’s bankrupt and a broke ass. And yet she thinks highly of herself.

The only thing she’s got is beauty. She’s indeed a beautiful woman and attractive but besides that, nothing impresses him about her at all.

He eyed her and gnashed between gritted teeth before turning around and taking long strides out of the private ward where Lara laid.

Since she wants to dance, fine, let the dancing begin... Curtis has an order to his bodyguards. No one goes in or out of Lara’s private ward except the medical team.

She mustn’t escape nor can she come to any harm. If anything happens to her, they’ll experience a fate worse than death.

When Curtis Rodney returned to the company, he got busy. He didn’t return to the Textile and fashion home, he simply went to the millennium entertainment world.

But asked Lazarus to submit a copy of the surveillance recording of that scene. He would deal with those duo but it would be more fun to do it before Lara Edmund.

Whoever tries to hurt his unborn baby, by causing Lara any hurt, would have him to contend with. That way, things went naturally silent and Tolu sighed softly for relief.

I’m millennium entertainment world, Kayla became restless. Lara should have informed her how the interview went if things went normal. What is happening?

She didn’t call her to inform her, nor is she answering her phone. She’d called her a few times now, and she isn’t answering her phone. What is happening now?

In her worried state, she decided to call Kasper Jalo who is an old friend of Joel but also a school mate of theirs. He’d obtained the slot for Lara through him.

"I didn’t see her, Kayla. She was not among the applicants that were interviewed" Kasper informed. He was among those who did the interview, she wasn’t among them.

Lara was a well known student back then. She’s a combination of brain and beauty and having such a pair, she was outstanding among her peers, back then.

"What, you didn’t see Lara?" Kayla was alarmed. She’d assured her that she would be coming for the interview. And now, she’s not answering her phone nor is she returning her calls.

"Yes, she didn’t come," Kasper insisted. But a feeling of uneasiness gushed within him. Is Lara alright? Wasn’t she married to this idiot Mike Blake?

It is a rumoured fact that he was dating Tolu Wood despite being married. That made him detested more. Having a beautiful wife and yet cheating?

"Alright, I’ll find out her whereabouts" Kayla declared and hung up. She sighed softly. Something is wrong somewhere. "Are you okay, Lara Edmund?" Kayla whispered silently.

Kasper stood up and went to find Mike Blake. He probably must know why his wife didn’t come for the interview. He got to his office,but just before using the doorbell,he heard an argument...
