TRADING MY CHEATING EX FOR HIS BILLIONAIRE BOSS

ANISSA

“You should be so excited.” Dr. Pat urged.

If only she knew the circumstances in which I'm pregnant, then she wouldn't say this. How am I going to relay this to my boss that he got me pregnant when he's yet to do away with Mira and I'm still his escort? What will be his reaction, what will Mira do? Even if I was to hide, how long would I hide? Our secret now will be exposed and Mira will know that I'm not really an escort as I claim to be.

“You're pregnant for your crush and you're worried?” I heard a little voice scold from within me. “Who knows if this is one reason he'll get to marry you, to avoid scandal.”

I sighed, delving deep into this. One thing led to us working as boss and escort, and now another thing had come up. Could this pregnancy lead to marriage?

I forced a smile before the doctor, she didn't need to know the inner turmoil I was going through. Secondly, it's sure that I'll be losing my job and this huge pay should Leon not be ready to be a father now. He wanted kids but I couldn't tell if he wanted them so soon. I shook my head but when the doctor turned, I pretended to be smiling.

“Oh God, please help me!” I prayed silently. Now I had to convince Leon to keep me. I wanted him in my life but will this be possible?

Anyways, I had to wait till he returned to break the news to him. I was so eager to seek revenge that I didn't remember to use protection, I even asked him to release inside of me. While waiting for him, I picked up my phone and began to check what's happening on the media.

Leon returned late at night when I was already asleep, the pregnancy result lying beside me on the bed. I woke up in the middle of the night to see touches being pointed at me, I slowly opened my eyes and he was sitting beside me, going through the file.

I snatched it quickly from him, lifting my eyes to watch his reaction. I was scared of his reaction. When I realized Mira was there, I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me.

“Who are you pregnant for, Anissa?” The question came from her and my lips began to quaver. I looked away, imagining what to say. I could feel their burning gazes scorching on me. Mira particularly seemed to burn me to pieces.

She suspected me, I could tell from her gaze. Mira stormed towards me ready to pounce on me when I didn't reply but Leon stood in her way.

“Don't touch her, Mira.” He stopped her.

“Why are you treating your escort as you claimed so special? Is that what she was trained for as your bodyguard?”

“Or she's more to you? Is there anything you're hiding from me?”

I knew what she was trying to do, getting words from Leon’s mouth but he knew too well to remain silent.

Mira scolded, yelled, cried and threatened all through the night that I was afraid other occupants of the estate would hear. Leon was trying to keep her calm but she wouldn't listen.

“If you don't ask her to abort the baby as I believe it's yours, or kick her out of this estate, I'll report you to your uncle. A bigger scandal is loading.”

“Huhh?” Leon cocked his head, staring at his fiance with disbelief. “Would you dare do that? You, that's bluntly refusing to give me kids should we marry, have I reported you to anyone?”

Even I myself was surprised but since she was his fiancee, I couldn't say a word but left Leon to deal with her. He's my love interest after all, I wouldn't be really guilty should others get to hear of this. Who will stay with a woman who doesn't want kids, especially when building a family is one major wish.”

“Okay, since I'm responsible for this pregnancy,” he said, shocking me. “I will ask her to be my surrogate for two years, then we will get divorced.” He suddenly decided, sending thunder strikes through my nerves. I cocked my head, staring at him with utmost shock.

“Are you being serious? After you assisted me to divorce my husband, you want to use me and dump me?”

“It's my final verdict.” He growled but something in his eyes told me it wasn't his final decision, he just wanted to appease Mira.

“I wouldn't let any other woman come into this estate, I wouldn't let any other woman come close to you.” Mira vowed.

Leon paused, looking at her. The way I see it, he was trying to keep me but Mira was the challenge. I was praying deep within me. I didn't buy the idea of him divorcing me after two years, but even if this was the case, I will prove the most capable wife to make him change his mind and keep me.

“Anissa, l will reward you handsomely as my surrogate, you wouldn't regret knowing me.” Leon assured me but I looked away, this wasn't my dream. I had more in mind but it seemed like they weren't going to come true.

“You shouldn't even be keeping her, she can tempt you to change your mind and marry her.” Mira complained bitterly, twisting her face. I shook my head in disgust. If she wasn't weird as to not wanting kids, I would feel guilty but the audacity she has made me want to challenge her.

“Do you have any problem with that or are you going to change this rule?” Leon snapped back right at her, causing a blush to ripple on my lips.

I covered my mouth, trying hard to suppress the blush which was bubbling up on my lips. Mira stood there speechless, not knowing what to say.

“We have been in a relationship for two years, still you stand on your decision that you wouldn't give me kids even if we marry. You know how eager I am to be a father. Did you want me childless all my life?”

“Can't you see how selfish you are?” Leon continued to scold her.

She thereafter turned to me. Her anger was now directed towards me, Leon had defeated her. I didn't even know she hadn't bore any child for Leon.

“You think you're so lucky coming from a one-night stand as you girls do to become his surrogate wife, aiming to be his real wife?” She scoffed. “You fucked raw so you would get pregnant for him, you've destroyed my relationship, let's see if you get to survive for even a month here, talk less of the two years.” She said these, storming off.

By now, my heart was already beating so hard, zillion thoughts racing across my mind. I shut my eyes, taking a deep breath. My body felt weak at her threat, she was hurt and pained and could do anything. I sensed this danger lurking around me but if I leave, I will never get to be with Leon whom I was already obsessed with and can't live without.

What if I ended up being killed even before the two years elapsed? Who knows what she's planning?

But as I turned, Leon was by my side, draping his hand over my shoulders. “Remember, I told you we were going to keep our relationship a secret till the right time?” I nodded, not knowing where he was headed to.

“I'll take Mira by surprise. You will become my wife.” His eyes darkened with seriousness. I remained speechless, Mira’s threat played in my mind at the same time. I got to realize how I was in the middle of danger. I couldn't tell who would be faster to execute plans between these two, Mira or Leon?

“Don't worry, I'll protect you from her.” He assured me.

Now I was pulled in two directions; escape with my baby to save my life or stay back, believing Leon's words. I needed to choose one. But my dream is to create a wonderful family with my prince charming. If so, I have to fight.
