Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate

Two weeks passed, Danica's anxiety lunging out of the window. She was extremely certain she was pregnant this time and couldn't wait for a confirmation. Excitement washed over her when Dina arrived to take her blood sample for testing. Danica's heart pounded in her chest in anticipation at the result and by midday, she received an envelope.

She sighed eagerly, ripped the envelope open and gawked at the content of the test result. Her face turned red and sullen. Frustration creased her mind, marching her to Paul's room, she banged on the door.

"I want to speak to him." She uttered in command and agitation. She couldn't bear to live another month in anticipation. The continuous negative result overwhelmed her to the core. Therefore, she had lost her patience and fear. A strange push of boldness controlled her behaviour and she wasn't going to take No for an answer.

"You know that isn't possible right?" Paul was working on some new security technology and was quite irritated by her presence.

Danica wasn't in for a joke. She was desperate, suffocated and drained by living in a mansion cut out from the world. "Tell him that I want to see him face to face." She commanded. 

Paul shook his head in disapproval. "Sweetheart, that is a big No."

Danica was unfazed about Paul. She was prepared for the worse. After all, she had nothing to lose anymore. Daniella's debts would have been paid for now. Therefore, even if anything happened to her, her sister was free. That notion fueled her courage. "I insist that you tell him. Call him right here, right now. It's almost three months and nothing to show forth. Do you want to keep me here like a statue? No way. I want to see him!"

Paul was uncomfortable. Danica's behaviour was attracting attention from the guards and servants. He wished that Mabel was here to save the situation but the latter had gone to the city with a driver to get some groceries therefore, there was no support. He comprehended what Loney's reaction would be and had no intention of calling him. "Hey, what have you not getting pregnant got to do with him?"

"Just convey my message, paul." Danica's tone hinted warning. Paul was perplexed. "I will get back to you."

Paul shut the door and dialled Loney's number. Loney was in the office and as usual, expecting James' call because he knew the outcome of the test. His lips curled into a smile when his phone lit up. He answered the call on the first ring, "What is it this time?"

"Your surrogate is insane. She wants to see you face to face," Paul directly said.
