"I thought you said you would stop fooling around with her!" Mrs. Tomlinson raged.

I quickly distanced myself from him and I tried not to look at his wife. I felt guilty because there were feelings on my side. She should not let it out on him. He did not do anything. He had not done anything ever since they made up.

"She cost me almost a million in cash. She can at least give me a massage if I ask for it," Mr. Tomlinson said, remaining calm. "Nothing is going on. Just like I promised you."

"You know something, Louis? I think I should call my lawyer," she uttered and my jaw dropped. Mr. Tomlinson was shocked I could see it in his eyes, but his demeanour remained relaxed.

"I think the mayor's likability will go down a notch when the press finds out that you have been cheating on me with him," Mr. Tomlinson stated in a fiercely stabbing way. "After all I am the CEO of a company that helps the agency make dreams of rich infertile couples come true."

Mrs. Tomlinson did her best to act shocked. "What are you talking about?"

"Do you really think I am stupid, Ashley? You work all the time. You are never here. I have pictures," he told her. Mrs. Tomlinson's façade dropped a bit.

"You are trying to pin everything on me when you are the one with the mistress! You bought her for one sole purpose!" she exclaimed. Mr. Tomlinson was not the only one to decide to buy me, she had her hand in it as well. "And it was not to have a baby! What will the press think about the agency when they find out you sleep with this order?"

"Oh well, the press will not release that kind of a scandal because there is so much to lose. The men and some women of this society we live in love the agency, for obvious reasons," Mr. Tomlinson said. I had heard of stories in which orders had to sleep with the wives. I had thought they were rumours.

"You will not get away with this, Louis! I will take everything from you! Do you really think I will let you run off with that wh.ore you have feelings for? I see it! You two are in deep!" she shouted.

I could not take it anymore and I did what a normal order should not do. I spoke out and I said my truth.

"I am here because you both bought me. Originally, I was supposed to give you a baby. That is not working out. Mr. Tomlinson and I never had anything real going on between us. He only did this so that you could get jealous and come back to him. He does not have feelings for me. I am apologising if my feelings have come to show, they are inappropriate," I told them. The Tomlinsons looked at me in a peculiar way. Mrs. Tomlinson looked at me as if she wanted to strangle me and Mr. Tomlinson... Well, I had just revealed our game plan to the enemy. He was not pleased.

"Look what you have done, Louis! The order has fallen in love with you! Are you completely out of your mind? I want her out by tomorrow," she uttered.

"I will handle this," Mr. Tomlinson uttered to his wife. "Now leave. I have work to do."

"You are lucky I had a bad day! I am going to bed now and if you are not there in an hour, I will ring my lawyer," she threatened Mr. Tomlinson. His wife left the room coldly.

I did not want to look at Mr. Tomlinson. I feared that my time here was over.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Mr. Tomlinson asked me.
