"I know you only care, not because you love me, but because you love what is in me." She said and turned away, afraid of what he was going to say, how he was going to reject her.
He hushed her and pulled her to him so they was no space in between, and placed his lips on hers. He pulled away and looked at her, a whirlwind of emotions in his eyes, and then spoke again.
"At first, I only cared about the baby, not you. But now I want you. Because I've fallen in love with all of you. It's no longer my baby; it's now our baby."
Then she pulled him back to her, to finish what he started.

A total control freak, he prefers to be in charge of everything; even the way he gets an heir to his empire. He decides to hire beautiful but uncontrollable, Abena Omotosho, or rather, he rents her womb.
He gradually moves from his daily routine of life, to something much more worthwhile. Something called, 'living in the moment'.
And then he realizes, that he can't control everything, especially not love, because once love chooses you, there are only three words for you: out of control.
...
It's a contract: simply business and no strings attached, but no business deal is that easy, and especially not this one.

Why are you still here Mr Wellington?" I asked as I clutched my bathrobe to cover my body well. I don't want the scenario of my bathrobe falling off.
"You've not answered me, who's that guy?" He asked
"You mean Darlington?"
"Da... What?" He raised his brows
"You heard me, I work for you Mr Wellington, as your PA, you have no right to ask me about my private life, who I hang out with or talk to isn't your business! I don't poke my nose in your affairs so don't poke your nose in mine!" I shot at him in anger.
"Listen you have every right to be mad at me and I don't blame you, I just need you to listen to me" he said firmly
"Whatever you say won't change anything Mr Wellington"
"Great! I'm sick and tired of trying to reason with you, I'm not interested in explaining myself anymore, but I want you to know one thing, strong relationships are built on the foundation of trust, relationships without trust or forgiveness are bound to fail, just like ours" he said and stormed out
I slumped on my bed and different thoughts ran through my mind.
His statement echoed in my head
"strong relationships are built on the foundation of trust, relationships without trust or forgiveness are bound to fail, just like ours"
