Sleep With You
(Amy’s Pov)
I was really pissed by the time | left Choco world.
“What does he take me for?
How can he ask me to sleep with him? I hissed in frustration as the terms in the clauses came to my mind.
“He even wants me to move in with him!
Who does that?!
Doesn’t he know that I have a life apart from being his Surrogate?
Now he wants me to leave my life according to his arrangements just because l want to carry a child for him?
I shook my head resentfully.
“These God damned rich people are always so full of themselves!
I arrived at the apartment still very angry but I decided to put my anger in check because of Nathan.
I went to the room and I found Nathan lying on the bed. He was sweating profusely and was struggling for breath. His hand was on his chest and I could tell that he was in pain.
I took my phone and called an ambulance before rushing to him. I placed his head on my lap and let my tears pour uncontrollably.
I couldn’t bear to see my dearest Nathan look so infirm and fragile. Fear gripped me at the thought of losing my only family.
The ambulance soon arrived and Nathan was taken to the emergency room. The doctor summoned me to her office and told me that his condition had worsened and the only way to save him is to operate on him as soon as possible.
“Okay, Doctor.”
I sighed heavily as I left the doctor’s office feeling despondent.
“How do I get $100k so soon?
“How do I save my brother?
My mind went back to Mr. Clay and as much as I wanted to slap him in the face for that shitty contract he made. I knew deep down that he is the only option I have left to save Nathan.
I don’t need him but I need the money he has to offer. So I decided to try again. I called his assistant Mr. Austin and he gave me his boss’s personal contact. I immediately called Mr. Clay and we set up another meeting.
This time he chose a five-star restaurant for the meeting. I dressed up as simply as I could and rushed to the restaurant.
Mr. Clay was already waiting for me. He was wearing a black suit today and as much as I hated him at the moment, I couldn’t deny how handsome he looks.
I went to the table and took a seat in front
of him. For the first time in my life, I felt awkward and embarrassed that I wished the ground would open up and swallow me.
Twenty-Four hours ago, I rejected his offer and now Twenty-Four hours later, I am begging for another chance.
I don’t care anymore what I do or how I do it. I am willing to do anything as long it can help me save Nathan’s life.
“Mr. Clay,” I began the conversation. “I’m so sorry about my behavior yesterday. I know I overacted and I’m sorry about that.”
I stole glances at him to see if he was listening or if he was mad at me. I went on as I observed that I had his entire concentration.
“So, I was hoping you would give me a second chance and let me be your surrogate.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
His brows raised at this and he stares directly at me. His gaze was full of questions. His quizzical gaze lingered on me as if he was silently asking if I was sure of what I was saying.
“Yes,” I replied with a nod.
“Do you know what you’re saying? He inquired.
“Yes, Mr. Clay, I am willing to sleep with you.”
