Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate

Paul's mouth was tightly glued. He looked around aimlessly, buying time for a reasonable explanation. Suddenly, something clicked. "Ahhh, just forget it. Let me get something to eat first."

Danica narrowed her eyes. She figured that Paul wanted her to cook for him because he caught her cooking most times. "You want me to make you breakfast. Why don't you just say so?"

Paul was just looking for a way to disappear, "Don't worry, I will get Mabel to do it for me."

Danica was persistent. She felt that, for Paul to come and knock on her door because he was hungry was a very big deal and couldn't take it lightly. "Oh, just wait for a little. I will come and do it for you. Let me change and I will be downstairs before you know it," Danica uttered with concern.

When Paul realized that there was no way of escape, he suddenly dropped a hint, "No, you will need a long bath, I'm out," he turned around and left without giving Danica the chance to utter another word.

Danica's mind went into a fleet thoughtful analysis. 'What did Paul mean by long bath?' She asked herself internally. Suddenly, she felt her nakedness under her nightie and closed the door, now recalling the supposed parent had come again.

Instantly, her mind began to play the detective, as she thought about why she fell asleep and why the supposed parent kept coming when she was asleep. She perceived that the supposed parent suspected that she might later come to claim the child if she knew who he was.

However, she wanted to see him, to assure him that she had signed a contract and there was no way she was coming back to claim the child. She was a woman of her words. But all these were assumptions of her mind. She was deeply troubled, having intercourse with a faceless man. Whichever way, she comforted herself with the fact that with every sacrifice she made, it was for her sister, Daniella.

She entered the washroom and was about to brush her teeth when her eyes caught red patches on her skin. She widened her eyes in exasperation. She knew exactly what they were, as her body chilled from shock. She now understood the reason why Paul was suddenly behaving funny at the sight of her.
