Janet entered the bedroom shutting the door behind her angrily. Jeffrey, who was busy packing his belongings looked at his wife with a questionable gaze.
"Now the we have fallen to this state, even your precious daughter dare to defy me."
"Rael?"
"No. It's Jane. She has left. I tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen." Janet said, feeling aggrieved.
Jeffrey was shocked.
"What are you talking about? How could you let our daughter leave just like that. Don't you know how dangerous it is out there for a young girl like Jane?" Jeffrey asked, anger visible in his voice.
"Who cares. She didn't want to listen to me. I told her she will come begging us to take her in again but she said we should wait and see."
"You are so stupid." Jeffrery said as he sent a stinging slap to his wife's cheek. The more he thought about it, the more he fe
Chapter 19 "What is it dad?" Rael asked, behaving like a spoiled child. "Come have a sit, daddy has a favour to ask of you." Jeffrey said. "Okay, then be quick, I need to finish applying my make up." After Janet and Rael sat down, Jeffrey cleared his throat, unsure of where to begin. "It's like this, I have just heard some good news while I was relaxing outside, I think it might be able to get us out of this sticky situation we are in." Jeffrey stated. "Say it already." Janet said, feeling excited. If it meant they were not going to live in the slums anymore, she will do anything it takes. "There is this super rich family that is looking for someone to help continue their family bloodline, I thought that I could talk to them and let Rael do it." Jeffrey said. When they proceed what they have just heard, both mother and daughter w
"Sir, what exactly is going on?" Lavender asked on the way to the private room."Just relax. You will see when we are there." Dickens said mysteriously.But the more they walked, the more Lavender felt like the corridor was familiar.Wasn't this the way to the VVIP room that Robert always used.Just thinking about his name made Lavender's heart bit faster.'I hope it's not what I'm thinking about.'Lavender consoled herself.She heaved a sigh of relief when they passed the private room, but somewhere deep in her heart, she was slightly disappointed. Matters of the heart were really hard to comprehend at times.In one moment, she longed to see the man she had a crush on and in another, she was relieved that she was not going to see him.In her distracted state, Lavender followed Dickens blindly and bef
After a delicious dinner, Lavender slumped on the chair. She had eaten a lot just now, she didn't feel like doing anything and just wanted to be lazy.Robert had insisted on serving her and although he was quite sloppy and stiff at first, he managed to do it well at last.He has never personally served anyone in his entire life, but he was thrilled at the feeling he experienced while he was serving Lavender just now. It was a new feeling to him."Why do I suddenly feel like I have gained five more pounds just from eating dinner?" Lavender lamented as she took a sip of the fragrant tea."It's good to be a bit rounder and fat. I'm very sure it will feel good to the touch." Robert said.Lavender did not register what he was implying as his words were laced with deeper meaning that was hard to comprehend for a young girl like Lavender."Can you tell me about yourself?"
Robert rushed to his office as his assistant had told him that they had a candidate for surrogacy.He had actually wanted to bring up the topic when he was with Lavender but he had resisted the urge. He knew that Lavender was not that kind of girl and he didn't want her to lose her respect and dignity in such a humiliating way.They had only dated for less than three hours, he did not want to scare her.He didn't want her to think of him badly and even detest him because of that. She might think that he got together with her just to use her.He rushed to his office at lighting speed. He also wanted to be done with the situation as soon as possible. "Who did you find?""Jeffrey Smith, fifty years old has a daughter Rael Smith, twenty five years old. He contacted us and said that he happened to overhear some people talking about it thus he discussed with her da
Rael smiled mysteriously hiding the vicious light in her eyes."I don't have to go and sleep with that disabled man." She stated."What do you mean? The doctor said that, that was the only way." Jeffrey said."Yeah, it's the only way but it doesn't mean that I have to personally go. We can send someone else over.""Who?""Lavender."Both Janet and her husband were startled."Rael, are you kidding? You are the one who underwent the check up. What if we send Lavender and something happens?" Jeffrey asked. He felt that it was too risky to send Lavender."And how are we even going to convince her? Do you think she will believe us after all that we have done to her?""Dad, relax. Nothing is gonna go wrong. There is no way I'm going to waste my life carrying a baby for someone. Nine months is a lot of time
"Lavender are you free? I have something important to tell you." Came Jeffrey's voice. "What's so important that it can't be said over the phone?" Asked Lavender. The last people she wanted to see were the Smiths. She loothed them to the bone and marrow. "It's very important. I have just received news that your dad had an oversee company. Although it was not doing great, some great person has taken interest in it and want to buy it. As the only next of kin, they need your consent." Jeffrey explained. "Why haven't I ever heard of such company from my parents?" Lavender questioned with doubt. "You were young so maybe your dad saw no need of telling you. Actually, the company is even registered under your name." "So if you have time, I was given some papers, you can go through them then we will see what follows." "Why should I listen to yo
Lavender was baffled as she had no idea what was going on.Or maybe they have come to beg her to give them some money."Lavender, you are early! Have you waited for too long?" Jeffrey asked as he took his seat."No, I just arrived." Lavender said."Hi Mr Nelson." Lavender greeted.Nelson did not say anything and just looked on with an expressionless face."Mr Jeffrey, I don't have time. I hope that miss Rael is ready. We should get going." He said in a cold voice.Lavender, who had been ignored, grumbled."He really has an attitude.""Mr Nelson, there has been some changes and Rael is not the one going anymore.""Mr Jeffrey, what is the meaning of that? You have already signed the contract and now you want to breach it?""No, no. That's not what I meant. Lavender here is
It's been three days since Lavender was brought to this private villa.They forbid her from contacting the outside world and only told her to concentrate on taking care of her body. She begged to even speak to Robert but Nelson only sneered at her with contempt."Wasn't it you who wanted to climb in a rich man's bed, why are you behaving all pure and innocent? Who's sympathy are you trying to gain? You think I will fall for your little tricks? Just concentrate on eating well and taking care of your body." We that, he turned around and left.It has only been three days but Lavender had already lost a lot of weight. Her face was haggard and she looked like a thirty years old lady who lived in the village. She could not even recognise herself anymore.Her eyes were swollen and hair was unkempt. When she looked at herself in the mirror, Lavender was so shocked and scared of herself that she immediat
