A Wrong Surrogate for the CEO-Chapter 13: Pregnant with my child

Curtis Rodney just stared at her. What kind of a woman is this? Why does she act like a psychopath that he would readily describe her as? What has he done?

"She told me you were going to decide her fate. You were going to have her practicing license revoked, and you actually did it?

Have you no sympathy for others? Do you put others in your shoes before acting? Years of training and years of practicing all gone down the drain because she crossed you?

You can hire an employee and have her fired the very next day. You can send others to jail without batting an eyelid. Who the hell do you think you are?

Because you are wealthy, you think you are God? You think other humans are inferior to you and that you are the most important creature that is walking the earth?

How can you do that to her, how can you not consider her years of loyalty, how can you just take away her source of livelihood and feel comfortable doing that?

You’re a bad guy Curtis Rodney, cruel and without a bit of humanity in you. I am not afraid of you, you can do whatever you like, kill me or have your men run me over with a car.

I have nothing to lose. And I am saying it to your face that karma will catch up with you and at the time, your wealth and net worth wouldn’t be able to save you..." Lara seethed.

"Enough!" Curtis Rodney thundered. His eyes were blazing red and his temper flared up. He glared at Lara Edmund with a killing intent. He gnashed his teeth, his eyes reddened.

Lara went quiet. The atmosphere of the car became compressed and awkward immediately. She suddenly felt the air-conditioner in the car was only getting her hot rather than cooling the air.

"What do you know about me? How dare you judge me? How dare you question my decision without knowing the reason why I did what I did. What do you know about me besides my first and last names?

My pains, my losses, my betrayals, my depression and my tendency towards committing suicide. What do you know about me, how dare you provoke me this way,how dare you!" Curtis Rodney thundered.

Who knows about his silent pains, that has invaded his heart for years. The effect of it on his personality. His wounded heart and his bleeding emotions that have refused to heal?

No one does, except him. And she judged him. She says hard words to him without being terrified about who he is. Who the hell is she to do that?

Lara couldn’t retort back. She was speechless. Did she judge him wrongly? Really, she doesn’t know a thing about him besides his name. She doesn’t know a thing about his life, his family,his past and present and all of that.

Those things he said are they his experiences? Are there moments in his life he wished never came? But why do the rich also feel pain?

Oh no, is she stupid to think that way? Why won’t they, does wealth, power and affluence deny the fact that they are also humans and have blood running in their veins?

"Well, is that all, can I leave now?" Lara demanded, feeling suffocated by the tensed atmosphere in the car. She needs a breath of fresh air.

"I’m here to talk about the foetus growing in your belly," Curtis Rodney blurted with difficulty. His eyes lingered to her flat belly and he sighed softly.

Lara turned and glanced at him briefly. What about it, what does he want to tell her?

"You’re pregnant with my child" Curtis Rodney informed. This is the reason why he’d come to find her. Just to let her know whose child she is carrying.

"Excuse me?" Lara snapped at him. Pregnant with his child, how? She doesn’t know the identity of the man whose sperm she was inseminated with besides knowing he’s a model.

Has he suddenly become a model simply because she chose that sample? How can he say to her that she’s pregnant with his child?

Or could it be...Lara squinted. Is that what he meant when he said she was inseminated with the wrong sperm? And Dr JJ Smart talked about her offense that it was similar to killing his child.

She subconsciously caressed her flat belly. No, it cannot be. Of all the men in Michigan, it shouldn’t be Curtis Rodney’s sperm that she was inseminated with.

Curtis Rodney calmly observed her and knew that a certain reality had dawned on her. She should have a glimpse of the reason why JJ Smart and his assistant should be punished.

"You were inseminated with my sperm contrary to the supposed one you chose. If the procedure was unsuccessful, I won’t come look for you. But I’m here because it’s successful and you’re automatically my baby’s surrogate mother..." Curtis explained.

Lara shook her head, no. She’s no one’s surrogate mother. This child in her belly is not going to be owned by anyone else except herself. There’s no way the word surrogate can be welcome by her.

"No. I cannot be pregnant with your child or anyone else’s. This baby in my belly is exclusively mine. I wanted it, and I went for it. I spent my entire savings and everything I could gather to foot the bill.

There’s no way I can accept anyone claiming to share it’s parenthood with me. I’m sorry to burst your bubbles, Mr Rodney but this child in my belly is not yours, it’s mine, only mine" Lara rebuffed.

She cannot accept it. How can he claim to be the owner of the sperm she was inseminated with? How can it be, that her unborn baby should be someone else besides her?

Her eyes welled up with tears instantly. Curtis Rodney saw her tears and looked away. He was also at this point the previous day when he learned that she was the woman who was inseminated with his sperm.

Only that he was able to fight back tears. No matter what happens,his tears can only be allowed when he’s alone or when he’s in the storm. Other than these two instances, it’s rare for him to let them lose.

"It was a mistake by the team that handled your insemination. It’s a grave mistake that would never be corrected in one’s entire lifetime.

But I want the baby, and it’s none of our fault that such a grave mistake was made. I’d rather I assume you are my baby’s surrogate mother and I compensate you" Curtis Rodney offered.

He seldom talks so lengthy at a time let alone to a stranger. But he needs to persuade this woman to accept his offer.

"I don’t need your offer. I don’t care about anything you say. This child is exclusively mine. You can get another woman and get her inseminated with your sperm, you can produce as much as you want per day.

But this one in my belly is not related to you in any way. It’s exclusively my child. He’s got no father, just a mother. So I’d advise that you forget about it and assume that this discussion never happened " Lara concluded and next declared "I have to leave now"

"I’m coming after my baby and that’s not negotiable. You should know that,that child is mine and you should be ready to see my face often" Curtis Rodney declared and suddenly unlocked the door.

"I’d rather get an abortion than agree to have you father my child" Lara declared and she wanted to step out but Curtis thundered "Don’t you dare step that foot out until I say so.

If you dare touch that pregnancy or you deliberately allow a miscarriage, you’ll experience a fate worse than death!" He threatened and next ordered "Get your damn ass out of my car"
