Troublesome female
The doctor was scaring me, his hesitant behavior had me feeling fuzzy inside as I fiddled with my hands which had turned cold. I could see the same reaction with victor although he was good at masking his expressions with his furrowed brows and I knew he was agitated as well. I didn't want to make a mistake. If I did then Victor would get angry. I glanced back at kyan but he was in his world hence my attention turned to doctor maverick who now had a warm smile. At least his smile made me feel at ease as I exhaled and inhaled silently as if keeping my breathing stable. Doctors could cause someone a heart attack with their unnecessary suspense
"I thought something was amiss but I guess it had some effects due to the fruits she must have taken…" he started explaining as victor went through the file. I sat there agitated as I waited for him to finish what he had to say. What caused my stomach to ache like that, at least hearing fruits brought some peace to my soul
"Victor I think we should pay more attention to what she eats during this first period...fruits such as pineapples and papayas...these contain chemicals which can pose a threat to early pregnancy" he added and by now I realized something. The papaya was in the fruit salad. I heard such fruits are bad for pregnant women so it made sense, so it wasn't something bad after all. I exhaled in relief silently and sat more comfortably
"So...there was nothing wrong with the food but just fruits, "Victor asked as he set the file down on the table and Maverick nodded. I didn't say anything or interrupt but kept quiet
"Yes...for now she shouldn't take so many things until we are sure she is pregnant ''the doctor said and by now I was completely bored. I thought it was something serious or due to my carelessness but it turned out to be something inferior. While victor and maverick discussed being pregnant and the dangers and all the things the grumpy man was trying to avoid. I dozed off.
I was beginning to feel tired and drowsy, I was never like this. I hated sleeping more than anything but now I sometimes feel weak hence I brushed such thoughts away and started falling back without realizing that I had my head resting on Kyan's shoulders. Whatever they said I didn't hear nor was I interested hence I snored away and muttered certain things in my sleep.

"Please Mr. Ellison, you need to take good care of her...this isn't easy she'll need to rest more...eat healthily and please avoid emotional situations "victor sat there as he listened to the doctor tell him all he had to do if he wanted his baby to be born without any troubles. He paid attention to every little detail and even if the person carrying his child was another woman, he was going to do all the necessary things he would have done if Alisa were pregnant. He knew he would have done more than just pamper his wife so she could deliver their baby safely but that wasn't the case, his wife was not the one pregnant but she entrusted him with their child responsibilities hence making sure the surrogate was taken care of despite everything was Victor's top priority. He was doing everything for their little one until he was born into this world. His reason for living was in Vivienne's womb
Even so, he had to adjust to looking after another woman, a random lady who meant nothing to him, and shifting his eyes to his surrogate sleeping with her mouth open and snoring in public. He knew he had his hands full. She was the true definition of trouble and he hated the fact that she was the same lady who he was looking for.
Or maybe he wasn't looking for her but he was curious to know exactly who had the guts to touch him and take him to some cheap smelly hotel. Took his money and left a note. He could have not known that it was his new surrogate if not for the handwriting which matched the one on the note and the one on the form his surrogate had to fill in when she came for the interview
He felt ashamed at first but he was the boss, what happened that night was consequential and unimportant, hence he disliked the idea of being reminded of such a stressful night
"Anything else?"Victor asked when he suddenly realized he had been staring at his surrogate without blinking and maverick had noticed that
"No, for now, it's cool. if anything happens do call me"maverick said with a smile as he rose to his feet so did Victor. Kyan saw that his brother was done hence he removed his earphones but frowned when he noticed the troublemaker was using him as a pillow
"Wake up you big snoringsauras" he muttered through gritted teeth and shrugged his shoulders for the surrogate girl to wake up but to his surprise, Vivienne muttered something about sleeping and turned to hug him. Kyan was startled as he looked at his brother busy talking to the doctor then at the girl snuggling to him.
"Bro...she's stuck to me...I think she likes me" like a fool kyan said gesturing with his phone to Vivienne who was busy chewing in her sleep. How could a cute and pretty girl have so many bad habits and that too in public? Looking at his older brother, kyan regretted the words he said because Victor had a deadly expression on his face
"W...what...what did I miss?"Vivie suddenly mumbled as she detached herself from kyan and rubbed her eyes lazily as she looked around in confusion only to find the grumpy man staring at her with narrowed eyes
"Oh god...I slept off" she mumbled and quickly rose to her feet and awkwardly fixed her dress which had moved up while she was lying down and her thighs were showing
"Sir...is everything okay"I suddenly asked as I regained my wits and cleared my throat more awkwardly sensing the tension in the room or was it just me who was tense and embarrassed.
"I have to go to the office...Kyan, drive her home now" Victor ignored my question and looked to Kyan who was on his feet and gave his orders. Kyan walked to my side and nodded
"Okay boss," he said more playfully but Victor didn't seem happy at all. I saw how his expression darkened even more. Why was he so scary so grumpy
"I'm serious...take her straight home...I would have done it myself but I have an urgent meeting in thirty minutes" this time Victor sounded serious, like dead serious. I guessed he was aware he had a good for nothing troublemaker for a little brother who thought the world spun around him
"Okay, bro...I promise, now go before Beverly freaks out," Kyan said and flipped his hand to hold mine. If Victor wasn't there I would have shoved him off but seeing the grumpy man, I behaved innocently. Victor looked at us for a while and I saw the driver open the door for him and he left the room only then did I shove kyan away and nearly pushed him
"Jerk," I said in pure disdain
"Okay so here is the thing...we are supposed to go home now...but I have other plans...you'll have to wait because I have some business to attend to at school" he turned to me and said while typing on his phone. I knew he was not to be trusted, here he was given instructions by his brother but it hadn't even been five minutes and he was disobeying victor
"Victor said take me home," I said more boldly and gave him a deadly glare that drilled holes if it could but kyan seemed not to care as he arched his brows sarcastically at me
"My car...my rules because I'm the driver...take a taxi if you want"just like that he said and left the room. I was rendered speechless, I had no taxi fare or a phone to call Beverly hence I had no choice but to go with kyan, who knew what would happen.
