Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate

Danica was lost in thought. Everything seemed so bizarre. If she opted for the others, the money wouldn't be enough to settle all the people Daniella owed. She recalled her encounter with that guy at the club. He was so scary. Unless she could pray for a miracle, this was her only option.

However, will she lose herself in the bid to save her sister? Was this her way of showing her love to her sister or was it her cross to carry? Everything seemed blurry and she lacked the right answers. Beads of sweat began to form on her forehead, as her throat felt dry. "Water," she requested. Jeff gave her a bottle of water from the fridge. Daniella took a sip and continued to battle with her thoughts. 

"Can I live in my own house?" 

"No. He has a place where you would be well catered for. You don't have to worry about anything," Jeff assured her.

However, Danica felt muffled. She felt like she was going to be in a prison for nine months and leave her baby behind. There was no relief in all the answers she got from Jeff. "Is there any restriction to me seeing members of my family?"

Jeff did not answer immediately. He studied her mood and said softly, "till you give birth, yes."

Danica was already broken but she wanted to prepare herself for the sacrifice she was making for her sister. Right now, Daniella was her only family. "How long does it take for the contract to take effect after I sign?"

"Immediately. We will transfer fifty percent of the funds into your bank account. When you take seed, thirty percent will be added and after delivery, twenty percent final payment. It will be up to you to decide whether to leave immediately or after you have fully recovered."

"Let me speak with my friend. I will get back to you," Danica stood up and headed to the door but stopped at Jeff's words,

"You haven't confirmed if you are going to accept the offer or not. He is waiting for your response."

Danica balled her hands in fists, her knees served weak as she let out, "Yes." As soon as she stepped out, Jeff called Loney. There were sounds of heavy machines moving, and voices giving instructions here and there. "Jeff," Loney's breathless and loud voice sounded at the end of the call. Jeff knew he had to go straight to the point since Loney was busy.

"It wasn't easy but she accepted the offer."

"Good," Loney said and hung up. Jeff was confused because there was no excitement in Loney's voice, which made Jeff wonder what Loney was up to. He couldn't help but fear that perhaps, Loney had evil intentions.

Danica met Herty and they spoke briefly. Herty noticed the change in Danica's demeanor and knew that something wasn't right.

"Danica, you've paled. Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine," Danica responded outrightly. Herty felt that something was off but she couldn't lay a finger on it.

"So, what did he say?" Herty enquired.

Danica forced a smile and said, "It's nothing much, they were just health-related questions. As soon as I sign the contract, I would have to begin with the procedures. You can go home now, I will be fine."

"No, I'm not leaving you like that?" Herty objected.
