Chapter 5 Five

THREE WEEKS LATER

Kylan stared at the footage from the lounge. It was a cut video of that bitchy nurse entering and leaving Xavier's private lounge. She threw the laptop away in a fit of rage.

After all she had done to make sure Xavier only gets a girl from among the list, he still went ahead to choose that cunning slut acting as a nurse.

And even slept with her!

She was beginning to suspect the girl bumped into Xavier on purpose. She must have heard about the surrogacy from Doctor Mark.

"Bitch! I will teach you a lesson you will never forget if you decide to bite more than you can chew!" Kaylan swore as she left her office.

She drove in anger to the hospital but diverted to the laboratory to meet her friend. They need to plan the next step. What if she gets pregnant? This wasn't good at all.

When Kaylan got to the lab, she saw her friend, Sheila. They had been friends for a long time and she had been the one helping to select the girls alongside Doctor Mark.

When Sheila saw her, she led her to her office so they could have privacy. She saw that Kaylan was looking furious and it must be related to Xavier and the surrogacy. What could have happened?

As soon as Kaylan sat down, she started explaining everything that transpired between Xavier and that slut.

"Are you dumb, Kaylan? Why would you agree to get a surrogate mother? Are you that daft?." Shiella barked, throwing her friend a discontented glare.

"I know it's the wrong thing to do but I just can't keep up with Xavier. He needs an heir badly and if I don't agree, he might file for a divorce," Kaylan said and she sighed.

"Even so, you wouldn't have suggested such a thing to him. What if the surrogate mother in question decides to take Xavier away from you?" Sheila asked.

"If she tries something as such, I will kill her," Kaylan said, her eyes looking vicious.

She meant every word she had just spoken. Xavier is hers and would always be.

"I trust you Kaylan but do you know the lady in question? I mean her background and everything?" Sheila asked, looking at her friend.

"Yes, I do. We saw her not too long. But I was obviously fooled by her naivety," Kaylan replied, a disgusted look on her face.

" What do you mean?"

"Could you believe that whore slept with Xavier? She seduced my husband!" Kaylan said, gritting her teeth.

"What!!? Why would you let them meet each other or even know each other?" Sheila yelled.

"I know, but it's kind of complicated. Xavier picked her himself," Kaylan said.

"What the fuck!." Sheila said and she removed her glasses, staring at her dumb friend.

"He did what? Picked her himself? I mean babe, don't you find something suspicious?" Sheila said, wishing she could knock some sense into her friend.

Kaylan thought for a while, and she began to see the reasons for what Shiella said. She knew Xavier was up to no good.

"Kaylan I didn't know you could be this daft," Shiella added, sounding disappointed.

"I think I need to do something about this," Kaylan said.

"Of course and be fast about it, don't let anyone take Xavier away from you, he's yours alone," Shiella replied.

"I need to go now," Kaylan added, absentmindedly.

"Put that girl in her place, threaten her if possible. She should know her position as a surrogate and nothing else," Shiella smirked.

"But how do I go about this? Xavier would get angry if he finds out." Kaylan said, staring at her wedding ring.

"Cut me some slack Kaylan, don't act like a novice. We have been doing this for a long time," Sheila said, smiling.

"This is different. I have been chasing ladies away from him but he chose this particular one himself," She snorted, feeling her anger rising again.

"Then you should chase her yourself. Stop acting like the mistress outside, you are the main squeeze here," Sheila encouraged, smirking.

"Hmm, I hope Xavier doesn't do something otherwise. I know he badly needs a child but it is not my fault that he's partially impotent," She scoffed but felt deep inside she knew it wasn't entirely his fault.

She needed to sort the mess out as soon as possible.

***

It's been three weeks since Shantel's encounter with Xavier in the lounge. Her mother was getting better and to be honest, the money Xavier gave was very helpful.

Suddenly, she felt nauseous. It has been going on for a week now and she has even gone for a test. The result wasn't out yet.

" What could be wrong with me?" She asked herself.

Taking deep breaths, she walked toward Doctor Mark's office so she could drop some files. She was about to knock on the door when she heard a familiar voice.

" She is pregnant without the surrogacy? Are you fucking telling me this now?"

" Mrs. Leon, I-"

" Fix this. I want her and the child dead! I will never let anyone give him a child! Xavier is mine alone!"

"The girl is innocent, Mrs. Leon. Why don't I get rid of the child-"

" I give you today to give me the news that the slut is dead with that bastard in her womb!"

Shantel shook vigorously from what she just heard. That was Xavier's wife. Does that mean she was pregnant for Xavier? Didn't he say he was impotent?

" Bunch of liars!" She bit hard on her lips as her heart began to pound.

She heard the sound of footsteps coming her way and she immediately ran to the next office so she wouldn't be caught eavesdropping.

Did that woman threaten to kill her and her baby?

Shantel ran down the stairs in tears, she remembered Doctor Mark's assurance of keeping her safe and she could feel the rage in her building up.

She was already outside of the hospital. She didn't want to stay in that place a minute longer.

Searching herself, she found the little money she had kept in her pant pocket. She boarded a cab, heading to the house which wasn't that far from there.

There was only one thing to do in order to save herself and her child. She hoped it wasn't too late.
