Introducing her to the family

Amaya wasn't in the living room, I think I am going to fire Baron today, I have been way too lenient "Baron!" I shout out his name and he came running like a fool.

"I have been way too lenient with you, pack up and leave, your fired!" Lydia grab my hand "why are you firing him? have some conscience, look at him Mason." I raise my eyebrows,

"I have told him times without numbers that when he hears my car, he is to come and wait for me at the door." she shook her head.

"at least let him explain why he wasn't here." we turn to look at the old man who had his head bowed.

"Mrs. Campbell has been a handful, pardon me Master Mason for saying that. She said she wants to cook on her own and has been giving the maids a hard time, the first dish she made was super salty but she believes it is OK, we believe it is because of the pregnancy and her taste bud is jumbled up." I massage the bridge of my nose.

"wait your telling me that there is a woman in this house? I thought you were joking." I heard Lydia say.

"your lucky, scram." he left, I turn to look at my sister whose eyes have grown wide.

"come with me." I drop her luggage and we made our way to the kitchen to find Amaya who was serious with her cooking "Amaya?" I called to gain her attention.

"yeah?" she turned to look at him, she was covered in sweat, gosh what have I gotten myself into? I asked myself.

"what are you doing in the kitchen?" she clean her face with the towel which was hanging on her shoulder before saying

"am making lunch, I felt bored doing nothing and the food they make is not for my taste." if what Baron said is true then I think I will be ordering food.

I took hold of her hand and guide her to the living room, I am being careful with and all, I heard pregnant woman can be troublesome.

"Amaya meet my sister Lydia, Lydia Amaya." i introduce them, Amaya smiled and stretch her hand for a handshake which Lydia gave.

"are you really his surrogate?" Lydia asked and Amaya lower her head in embarrassment.
"ahh sorry for coming out rude." she scratch the back of her head. But Amaya wave her hand "it is okay, if I were in your shoes I'll act the same, who agrees to carry a man's child just for money?" I felt a spank of guilty but I shove it off, I'll be getting what I want very soon.

"you must have your reason." Lydia smiled, Baron took her bag and arranged a room for her to sleep in. I had to go back to the kitchen and tell the maids to fix the lunch which Amaya made.

I called Sophie to send all the files which I have to look at in my house, I was going through them when Lydia came in.

"why did you get a surrogate Mas?" she asked taking a seat, I closed the file which I was looking at, giving her my full attention.

"because I want a child." I said the obvious. "I know you hate girls but I don't think that will last for long, why not fall in love again, get married and have your children out of love and not contract." I chuckled a dry chuckle.

"Lydia, I don't want to tie myself with a woman all in the name of love, love is for the weak. My life lacks only one think which is a child and I'll be having that in few months to come." she sigh in defeat.

"how did you two meet and did she willingly agree to it?" I told her everything that happened, from the time I met to the time I forcefully had sex with her. I don't hide things from a Lydia even if she may see me as a monster, I don't.

"how could you do that Mas, do you know that what you did to her can leave her traumatized for life? and because of you, she is not in talking terms with her mother." she said.

"I know, I just wanted to get things over with and she was getting on my nerves, she had the guts to call me crazy." A tired sigh left her lips.

"just be careful bro, she looks like a nice girl. Don't be hard on her and oh, prepare for her tantrums." she smirked before leaving my study for me to work.

we are currently on the dining table having lunch, luckily the maids could undo what did to the meal she made but she doesn't seem to be happy about it.

"Amaya, why ain't you eating?" Lydia ask her.

"I don't want to eat this, I want something else and I want Mason to make it for me." I choked on the food I was busily chewing. "what?" I asked just to be clear.

"will you cook for me please?"for the first time she said please and sounded sincere. I was going to say something but Lydia stopped me and told me to go cook for her, as in?

"is there anything special you would like to eat?" I asked like someone who can cook "no, just cook anything nice for me." I left and went to the kitchen.

I watch him enter the kitchen, grumbling to himself and I smirked. "your doing this one on purpose." I heard his sister say and grin.

"this is what I'll be doing from now till I give birth, next time he will know not to mess with me." she laughed and said

"don't get caught, I'll sit back and enjoy the show." she gave me a high five and I grin more showing my pearly white teeth.

Mason came back, sweating like someone who just partake in a marathon race, I felt like laughing when I saw the content of the plate in his hand. He made eggs with toast, I can't differentiate what he made from coal.

"thank you for this but I don't want to eat that, I'll have this instead." I took a plate and serve myself from the meal which are on the table.
