DAMIAN POV........
I walked into my parents mansion this place bring back old memories, looked round the living room and saw nanny Juli, she came down and gave me a tight hug and I hugged her back, she broke free from the  hug and started checking me out," am good nanny stop being dramatic"
"I just wanna be sure my boy is fine"she said and I chuckled "where's mom" I asked
"oh she is in the bathroom but she will be out soon" she said out soon" she said and I nodded, she started bugging me with questions, I had to come up with a way of making her leave "nanny" I called her and she looked at me "yes boy"
"can I get a glass of juice"
I said hoping she will leave me alone cause I don't have answers to them, I meant nothing to them, I was always left under the care of nanny Juli and bulter Kim, they have been the ones taking care of me till butler Kim husband stole from us, I didn't expect them to do that, I trusted them, they would have asked instead of stealing, they are one of the reasons I left the mansion cause I couldn't stand there faces, my mind went back to the girl I saw today she reminded me of Myra, Mr. & Mrs. Brennon daughter "God I miss her so much" it been over 12 years I saw her cause my mom stopped her parents from bringing her to the mansion, with claims that they don't like our closeness with Myra, Mrs. Kim was forced to stop working so she could take care of Myra, I was really affected by resignation but nanny Juli was always there to console me, things went well for years then suddenly butler Kim showed up requesting for for her job since Myra is now grown and able to take care of herself, my family gladly accepted her but after few months of working my dad money went missing and every evidence pointed at Mr.&Mrs Brennon, he never denied taking the money, I was really disappointed and at of anger I made a decision that led to the death of Mr. Brennon I was brought back to reality by my mom " Damian"
"m......u.......m.......mum"
"what wrong with you, are you okay"
"ye......ah, yeah mom"
"what were you thinking"
"nothing mom just work related"
"oh really don't get yourself worked up okay"
"okay mom"
"so shall we"
She she stretching her hands towards the dinning, I walked to the dinning and dad was already there waiting I gave him a brief hug and we sat down, the dinner was a silent one only the sound of cutlery was heard until mom broke the silence
"so son" I looked up from my plate waiting for mom to say what's on her mind cause I caught her staring at me and dad throughout the meal, dad nodded signaling mom to go on," son I have something very important to say"
"go on mom am listening"
"son do you have any girl in your life"
the question caught me off guard"geez" I can't believe mom just asked that
"do you plan on having anytime soon"
"not at all mom any problem"
"no there is no problem just that we want you to get married and give us grandchildren we all ain't getting any younger"
"so what's your opinion" I said rolling my eyes
"surrogacy" she said flatly
"what" my eyes widen like it going to pop out in a second
"yes son do this for us please" mom pleaded  I was still shocked by what I just heard then dad spoke up
"son this is for the best please" dad said
"don't tell me that dad" I shouted
"you are 30 for cry out loud"mom fired back
"and so was there a time I said I not gonna get married, I only said I need time mom"
"same time we have been giving you for 5years now, Damian I have made my decision and its final" mom said really pissed
"mom please you can't do this to me" I begged
"you have three days to think about it"
"mom three what"
"DAYS DAMIAN"
Mom said putting emphasis on my name, I ran my hand through my hair, I walked out of the mansion and went to my car, I arrived at my mansion and entered my room I ordered my butler to get me a bottle of whiskey, how can my parents suggest surrogacy for me, they want my child to grow without a mother no no no it can't be, my child can't grow without a mother, there was a knock on my door "come in" my maid walked in, she dropped the bottle of whiskey on my bed stand " here is the drink sir" I just nodded and she bowed slightly and left, I drank the content straight from the bottle not minding the burn at the back of my throat, I fell down on the floor and slept off.
