Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate

The next day, Danica woke up feeling desolate. The expanse of the posh room swallowed her. She decided to fill in the void by preparing breakfast. She was bored staying without doing anything and used her time to do all the cooking at different times of the day.  This new life seemed doubting to her in the sense that she felt sluggish. Cooking in a place like this could not be compared to the restaurant where she could cook for hundreds of different customers a day. The worse was, no one would give her the answers she craved.

Life proceeded as Danica continued to cook under pretense while she waited patiently for the intended parent who never showed up. A week passed and she couldn't take it anymore. She comprehended that the more time it took for her to conceive, the longer she was bound to stay. When she perceived that Paul knew more about the intended parent than Mabel, she turned her frustrations on him.

After breakfast one morning, Danica called Paul to the lounge. Paul had no idea what Danica was up to. However, Danica never bid her frustration. 

"Paul, you have to tell me about the intended parent," Danica's voice carried seriousness. Paul could only pity her and said, 

"He has his ways. He will come."

"Is he a spy or a criminal?" Danica asked Paul. Paul was taken aback by her question but responded. "None of those."

"So why do I have to be in this house far from my family?"

"Well, most of his surrogates escaped so I presume he's just being cautious," Paul reasoned, even though he knew that that wasn't Loney's reason. The fact was crystal clear. Paul had no idea of why Loney made it arduous for this surrogate.

Danica had a deep conviction and didn't believe him. "Whatever. But pass this message to whoever the intended parent is. I will not spend more than nine months in this boring mansion. The earlier he gets here, the better, or I will stop eating altogether. Let him know both options," Danica stated factly. She knew that the second option would move whoever the person was since starvation wouldn't be healthy for a surrogate.

Paul was nervous at Danica's threat. He thought of ways to get the information across to Loney without Danica knowing. Relief soaked him when Danica left for her room. He dialed Loney's number but the latter did not answer his call.

At the twins' tiny family house, Daniella had seen the alert on the phone Danica left behind. She wrote cheques to cash out the money, not hiding her surprise at the doubled figure. Still, she couldn't get in touch with Danica to know the reason for that amount. 5 million had been transferred instead of 2.5. Since she looked like Danica, it was easy for her to cash out the money with the already signed cheques. 

First, she had to journey to Russia to meet Ray but thinking it through, she decided to pay first the people she owed in Mexico. Since Justice's money was more, she went there first and alone even though it was dangerous. These mafias could not be trusted. However, she couldn't risk getting Herty involved.

The pub wasn't dense with customers but only staff. However, when she made her way to the Justices' office, she could tell from the bloodstains on the floor that someone had messed up with him. She was in time to see a man running out of the office with broken jaws and a battered face. A cleaner was already cleaning the bloodstains on the floor.

Justice puffed on his cigarette, a frown overshadowing his face as an image approached, covered in a hood. His bodyguards ambled towards the figure, their guns pulled out to shoot.
