CHAPTER 3

Mr Willis sat behind his desk signing some of the documents. He felt the urge to go get some coffee so he stood up and walked towards the door. The door opened before he could turn the knob. He stood still looking at the two ladies arguing. One of the ladies gently pushed the other in and she accidentally slid and almost fell to the ground.

Bree opened her eyes wondering who caught her. She looked up and her eyes met with the one man she never wanted to see. Her face turned pale. She felt so much anger towards him and at the same time love.

"Hey, are you ok?" asked Mr Willis.

"Ahh yes" said Bree finally getting out of her thoughts.

"How can i help you, Miss laines?"

"I..um...I think am lost, i will get going. Thank you Mr willis" said Bree releasing herself from his arms.

"You are lying" said Mr willis pulling her back to his arms.

She looked at him for about ten seconds and then said "I'm pregnant with your child...but am...."

"Shhhhh" He said with his index finger on her lips.

"I know you are pregnant" he said.

"For how long have you known?" Bree asked suprised.

"Since the day you found out"

"But..but how?"

"I don't think that is important right now Miss Laines. What is important now is what we will do about the baby."

"I plan to keep it" she said firmly with her eyes fixed on his.

"You have to."

He moved towards his desk and picked up a document.

"Here is the contract. That night, i was supposed to meet up with my surrogate but she fled. I only found out that you were not her in the morning when i finally saw your face. I am sorry for not listening that night" he said while putting her hands in his. She read the contract but she could not believe her eyes.

"Are you freaking kidding me or what?" she yelled pushing him away.

"You are my surrogate now and that makes that child mine. I will pay you whatever amount of money you need."

"You are crazy" she said with tears in her eyes, "This child is mine too, there is no way am trading him for anything."

"That is how it is Miss Laines, you can do nothing about it."

"Noo"

"Do you love your sick mother and young brother?"

Bree looked at the man standing infront of him with disbelief. For a second she thought he was a good man but now all she sees is a monster with a mask.

"You jerk, what are you going to do to them?"

"Nothing, only if you play along well"

She said nothing but only stared at him with hate shown all over her face.

"You have until tomorow, same time, to think about it"

She raised her eyes and looked at him for about two seconds and then walked out.

Mr Willis sat back on his chair, he did not like what he did but he had no option.

"I have to do it for us, my son" he said looking at the frame on his desk.

Bree walked into her appartment, reached for the kitchen and threw all the cutlery all over the place.

"How can he do this to me?" she cried.

"That bastard, shameless jerk, i hate him...i hate him so much" She fell on the floor after minutes of crying and then slept off.

Mrs Willis was sitting on a sofa in her sitting room when she noticed her son walk in. She immediately put down the fruits in her hands and rushed towards him.

"Son...."

"I don't have time for your drama"

"It's your father"

"It has always been him" he said still walking towards his room.

"He has arranged for your marriage"

"What? mom?" he said holding his mom tight "I asked you to help me out with that"

"I have tried, my son, but your father insisted"

He let go of her and quickly rushed to his father's study.

"Dad" he yelled in anger.

"My decision was final" said Mr Mark willis with eyes still fixed on his computer.

"I'm not ready, dad"

"When will you be? I am not getting any younger, i need a grandchild and the heir to all my property."

"Papa, you have a grandchild on the way already" said Jace willis while moving towards his father.

"Are you sure, son?" he asked finally lifting his head.

"Yes dad and i am going to prove it"

"That's my boy" said Mr Mark while hugging Jace.
