A Wrong Surrogate for the CEO-Chapter 23: You idiot
Her address, she can’t send him the address to this place Curtis has enclosed her in. And her apartment is empty as well. At the moment, she’s not available for Kayla to see.
"Why not another time. Right now,the doctor prescribed bed rest for me. I wouldn’t be able to take visitors in..." Lara gave an excuse.
Kayla was stunned. Bed rest, is it that serious? If Lara can still talk properly and get discharged and yet,bed rest. Anyways, she’ll check on her when she’s okay.
When Lara hung up, she sighed softly. How long is she going to remain in this villa? She wants to return to her apartment?
Benny brought her meal and freshly made juice from the blended fruits picked at the orchard, but Lara refused. She isn’t going to eat, drink or stand up until Curtis Rodney returns.
"At least take a shower ma’am. Mr Curtis Rodney would frown at me when he got back and see you like this" Benny coaxed.
Lara smiled and said "I’ve followed Lazarus here now, it’s all because I have to help you and others keep your job. He won’t do anything to you, trust me" Lara assured her.
Benny nodded and stepped aside. Soon, Lara dozed off on the sofa until Benny gently tapped her a long time later.
"Mr Curtis has arrived and will be checking on you soon" she said. She’s afraid that this woman would stay seated and sleep off on the sofa without being scolded by Curtis.
She doesn’t know why he treated this woman so delicately. Why is she so important to him? After that incident three years ago, Mr Curtis has stayed away from women and relationships.
Soon Curtis Rodney arrived. Lara heard him walk in but wouldn’t glance at the direction of the door. She simply remarried calm and poured her lips.
"How’re you feeling now,Lara?" Curtis asked, helping himself sink into the sofa, opposite hers. He knew she was avoiding to gaze at him.
"I’m fine," Lara replied casually. She saw him from her split vision dressed in blue Polo jeans. He appeared casual but he is hot.
"I learned you wanted to see me?" He asked,his gaze still fixed on her. He seemed to be a different person that evil from the cold stone man she’d known.
"Yeah. I want us to get it over, whatever you want to say. I want to return to my place" Lara snapped at him. She’s not infatuated by what he’s got as a house, she just wants this to be over as soon as possible.
Curtis Rodney kept his gaze on her for a while. What kind of a woman is she? Didn’t she know she now has to stay here until the babies arrive?
"Well, I already told you that I want to be a part of my babies’ life before they are born. That can only be possible if you come a little closer. You would be living here henceforth until the kids are born" Curtis declared.
"No way Curtis Rodney. I am not going to let you imprison me in this enclosure. I have a place where I live and I won’t let you restrict me like this.
I will consider your request to be part of my kids life but for now, you don’t have to keep me in this enclosure with men all around to watch over me..." Lara blurted.
Curtis Rodney just stared at her calmly. He wasn’t furious or flared up in fury like in the past. When she was through, he said" there are a few things I will be correcting now.
The first is the use of your words. You are pregnant with my babies, our babies. They aren’t yours alone. You can’t own the egg and simultaneously own the sperm that fertilises the egg.
Next time, you talk with the realization that it takes two to parent a child. I won’t repeat myself.
Secondly, you will be signing a contract to be the surrogate mother of my unborn babies and I’ll compensate you handsomely in addition to whatever you want me to do for you.
Again, because this situation happened this way, you will be sharing the parenting of the kids with me and we’ll decide how we’ll do that when it’s time.
This is your place for as long as those foetuses are in your belly. You can’t step out without a bodyguard. You almost lost that pregnancy today, that isn’t going to happen again.
As soon as the contract is signed, I’ll ensure you get a good placement in the Textile and fashion home. Those who schemed against you will pay for what they’ve done.
If you have an objection to what I’ve said, speak up before I bring the contract before you" Curtis concluded.
"I’d rather lose this pregnancy than stay in this place as a surrogate mother. How can I turn out to be a surrogate for the pregnancy I got inseminated with on my own accord?" Lara rebuffed.
This dude wants to take advantage of her. She isn’t going to back out or let him win. No way. No man would ever make her accept his decision ever again.
"If you think losing the pregnancy would do more harm to me than you, then you’re living in illusion? If anything happens to that pregnancy, you’ll never be a mother in this life again. This is the last chance you have in this lifetime, you idiot" Curtis Rodney sneered.
He glared at her calmly, trying hard to conceal his irritation at her words. He had ensured his sperm was well nurtured and healthy, taking a proper recommended nutrition just to have it done once, and successful.
"Oh, really? You’re going to ruin me by destroying my uterus just the way you hurt everyone that crosses you, right?" Lara scowled, her hatred for Curtis almost making her poke.
"No, why would I do anything to your uterus when it’s 80% ruined by that ex husband of yours? Did your little brain ever wonder why you never got pregnant while you were with him but a once insemination with my sperm got you pregnant?
Do you know the extent that man has destroyed you? Do you know you would never have been pregnant if inseminated by someone else’s sperm, do you?" Curtis demanded, his gaze piercing and intimidating.
