Chapter 5:

Amelia {POV}

With everything moving forward for me, I felt happy. I got a new place, my job is moving fine. I just need to push pass my past. I missed Layla though she messed up big time, I really felt part of the problem too, if I had not ignored the arising signs we won't have ended our friendship this way.I need someone to give my love to since no one could give me the love I crave for.

I have been thinking about an adoption but I would love to go through a stage of motherhood to have a child that I would shower with love. A child to keep my parents name alive and remembered.

I'm the only surviving descendent of her late father.

Throughout the day, I spent my time thinking about my baby decision. I have a problem, once I get something stuck in my mind, I become so stubborn, I can't take it out my head till I get it done.

I literally forgot about my work, career, it's so senseless. How can I think about about giving up my blooming career cause of my crave for a child of my own. Where would I get one currently I'm single, I could barely look at any guy in the face since Aiden left me. I didn't realize I spent some many time battling fort and back with my mind with a blank computer.

"Hello... Amelia, I have been here for almost ten seconds, I need the total amount of deposit and transfer made this week "

My department head, mrs Sandra stood next to my deck looking impatient.

" make it snippy" she left snipping her fingers.

Oh God!, this is not happening.

I signed out with relief then turn back to work.

Okey breath in and out

Where was I? Bank deposit! No baby.

After a long and stressful day at work, I got back to my condo at half past six, switched my lights on and dropped my car keys.

I cried out

My whole body was killing me right now, I need a hot bubble bath.

I soak myself inside my rose petal covered tub, inhaling the calming scent from my red scented candles, I placed round my tub. The feeling of being in my own home was so blissful.

If I had man to come him to or a baby!

Here is that thought again!

Demn, I feel so control right now

Please no baby, I want to live out my single life. It feels so good to be back home.

"Ding dong! "

That's my doorbell, totally forget I ordered pizza. I felt sad my bath had just been interrupted. I climbed down my tub, wrapped myself in towel and headed straight to the door.

" Am coming. " I said annoyed.

The pizza guy got here fast.

I opened the door and behold it was Omar smiling sheepishly at my door.

" Well, hello" I said with no enthusiasm.

"Amelia, can I come in... " he asked with a charming smile that's currently creeping me out.

"Am... Sorry Omar but I don't stay with Layla anymore.... " I said dryly.

"So... I can't do that right now" his face showed signs of disappointment at my refusal.

"look, I know you might think it bad timing but look I like you alot you know, you are my kind girl, I would really like us to get to know each other, you know..... Now you aren't living with Layla again " he illustrated

Shocking! Wow! This is just great..... My ex best friend boyfriend professing his love to me.

" How did you find my house again... " I asked curiously cause I didn't leave an address for anybody.

" I saw you pack in the garage, my friend from the club lives in the same street. " He said with a smile plastered on his jackass face.

I was really pissed off, I want yo bang my door right through his face.

"Look Omar, I don't like you and never will I ever date anyone like you, so fuck off. "

I slammed my door right through his face.

Booyah!

I would love to rip that smile off his stupid face but am wrapped up with a towel. I wish i could tell Layla, she is dating a douche bag but she would never believe me since she thinks I like him.

Now I need to get back to my bath.... The water would have turn cold by now.

I grabbed my tv remote from the side table and turned up the music channel. Before I head to the bathroom to shower up.

*****************************"

I love watching the city view at night from my window that one thing I love so much about my new home. I could see the stars from in the sky. I could imagine my mom and dad looking right at me. I wish I have siblings or cousins.My parents were so busy looking for historical landmarks, they forget to give me a sibling.

It took me weeks thinking about my decision especially with my banking job, I'm glad my dad left a large fund for me before he died. At 24, I have reached the age to access it. I want to go into online business, open an online shopping app where I can connect commercial fashion hub to buyers. Since, I'm not dating anyone at the moment I had to go through insermination process.

I still have time to think it through. I feel so silly right now and I miss Layla.

Louis [POV]

In my office, I interviewed all the selected 2nd grade models and actresses, my friends had picked out. I found one portfolio satisfying, her name Penelope Wyatt a 2nd grade actress a formal American sweetheart who was at the dying point of her career. She works under Sebastian agency but she had not been fully signed as a full time actress.

During the interview Penelope stood out from the rest. She was brought up from a Wealthy family. She chased after her dream without her parents help, they never supported her dreams and wanted her to become a lawyer. She was beautiful, well born and trained with her intelligence and determination.

Swiped through her media pictures, one particular one she snapped Some month ago in Kenya, she had cried a baby who was crying while she smiled at him. She was the least complicated applicant.

I grabbed my office telephone to send for her.

" Yes, bring her in"

I said.

She entered wearing a sexy black flowered dress looking like a flower about to be plucked.

Her black slick hair made her look younger than her age and beautiful but when she smiled I could see right through her charade. Her petite body makes her look weak undoubtedly she was a kind of woman that plays her way to gain control over men. She tired using her distressed and frighten look to make me think she finds me threatening and terrifying but I can see how much she was enjoying herself.

Of cause she's an actress!

She was not innocent just a tactics she uses.I watched her in my dominating position.

"Be seated" I ordered .

I could feel she was overpowered by my presence, I didn't earn my ruthless reputation in the business world for nothing.

"I hope Sebastian had informed you of what you have to do." I asked as I offered her a glass of wine to ease her fear.

" Yes, he did", She brushed my finger softly as she accepted her drink.

" But I'm still curious, you don't look like you can't perform under the sheets..you look young and vibrate ." She give me an intrigue sexy look that was quick tempting but I don't mix pleasure with business.

"Why do u need me as just an egg carrier... We could.... " I stopped her

" According to the contact, you are about to signing, you don't ask me question just play your role stay out of my business. " I blurted out

"Here read the contract, let me know if there's something you like to be changed" I said in a voice that infused with authority as I passed her the contract copy.

I watched her reading through the contract, her expressions remind mild up to the point she couldn't hold herself she gaped in shock when her stare meet mine she flushed with embarrassment, it doesn't take time before her true color began to pop now she was no longer in hesitates the offer was juicy and she obliged with no protest.

Who wouldn't.?

I made plan and date fixed for the Insemination, once she confirmed pregnant, we could move forward with our wedding plans which would last for 2 years till the child is bor n then she could leave bagging herself a multi millionaire deal.
