Hannie entered inside the luxurious room and she was awed at how enormous and beautiful decorations. She turned her head here and there to admire the room.
“I see you’ve never been wealthy” his bass voice dominated around the room.
Hannie chuckled and tucked her hair behind her ears.
“Good morning” she greeted and added “sir”
He kept a straight face and looking at her through his glass, Hannie wasn’t sure whether it was her he was looking at or something else. She whipped her head back and checked but it was just the both of them in the room. Hannie brought her head down and clasp her palms together.
He sat on the chair and opened a file , he scanned through it before speaking “Cora said you’re her closest friend and you want to do the job”
“Yes” she answered
“You want to be my surrogate?”
“Didn’t you say you needed one?” Hannie scoffs.
“I’m asking if you’re sure you can do, cause there terms and conditions attached to it?”
“May I see the terms and conditions” she requested. He handed her the file.
Terms and conditions
1
Once you’re pregnant, I must know about it immediately.
2
You will live in Jimmy Jenner house from whence you put to bed till when you stop breastfeeding the child.
3
All expenses during the course of carrying the child will be taken care of by Jimmy Jenner.
4
Rather than disturbing Jimmy Jenner, a maid will be assigned to you.
5
When it’s over, you’re to leave the child with Jimmy Jenner and never to return without his permission or you’ll be arrested and charged to court.
6
Do not breach the agreement.
Hannie felt the urge to laugh, she breathes out and thought to herself.
“I don’t need a baby anyways” she took a pen on the table and signed under the surrogate’s name.
“All done” she smiled at him but his face remained straight.
“Asshole” she muttered under her breathes.
“Did you say something?” Jimmy asked
“Nothing at all” she replied.
“See you at the hospital tomorrow, you have to be there by 9am” Jimmy said.
“Okay!” She answered and got up.
What happens when life beats you down to the point you are left with no choice? Even though there’s a saying that goes; human being will always have a choice. For Hannie Le Blanc, the choice she had wasn’t the one she wanted.
