His Majesty - Episode 10

Richard's POV

I had gone to the club to see a friend on the Friday night, the club was really lit and I could say my friend did himself real good, the lights were amazing. After finding a spot to seat and wait for my friend, I saw two girls walking into the club and one of them looked like Vanessa. It can't be here, she's not the club type.

I was about leaving the club after one if his workers informed me that he'll not be coming today and  having enjoyed the scenes that unfolded before me during the last few minutes when I realized that the girl looked a lot like Vanessa, especially the Vanessa that went with me to the party. Not Vanessa the secretary

I brought out my phone from my pocket and decided to call her just to confirm if it was her or not.

She brought out her phone from her purse immediately it started ringing at my own side of the line and that was what confirmed my suspicion.

Angrily I walked up to her and dragged her away from the man that was getting too close to her.

“Hey Richard, what's up?” Wait!, What!, Did she just say that. Is she drunk or what?

“Vanessa, what are you doing here?, I thought you are not the club type” I had to talk real loud so she'll hear me clearly as the music was too loud.

“Yeah, you know girls who go clubbing usually paste it on their foreheads that they're club girls” She removed my hand from hers and started walking towards the guy again

“Vanessa, stop. It's obvious you're a little drunk

. It's unhealthy for both you and the child” I advised

“Sorry, what child?. The last time I checked, I wasn't pregnant. Today is the last day of my freedom so let me enjoy myself in peace” she screamed into my face.

“You signed a contract, remember?. You belong to me now and what ever I command, you follow” She looked at me with eyes glistening with tears and before I could say anything, she ran out if the club leaving me behind.

The day she came into my face and told me she agreed to be my surrogate, I had sat her down and told her the rules that'll be binding the agreement. Even though I was suspicious about how she readily agreed to everything, I had to keep my suspicion at bay because it's not my business.

After walking out of the club, I saw her standing far away as possible from the front of the club. I strolled towards her and stood beside her.

She moved a bit far away from me, I moved close, she moved away and I moved closer. She repeated the action and i did my part too.

“Can you just stop this stupidity of yours already?”  She cautioned

“it takes two to tangle. You too should stop your stupidity”

“Don't you have anything better to do than follow me around?”

“Point of correction, I didn't follow you. I came here for business transaction and I ended up meeting you here in that embarrassing position”

“What embarrassing position are you talking about?, I was having fun and you just carried your mother transferred it to me attitude to ruin my day”

“That does not in any way translate to fun. You were wasting yourself away and dancing with a stranger that you don't even know”  I replied

“Are you even serious right now, I've been stuck in my apartment for days because of a mess you decided to create on your own and throw me inside” She complained

“Is your brain hurting you or do you perhaps have memory loss, it was you who came back to my office to beg me to make you my surrogate.

. Maybe if you get that into your skull, you're not as innocent as you claim”

She looked at me with surprise and turned her face away in defeat.

“That's my car down there, let me drop you home”

“No, thank you. I don't want to go in the car of the man who dragged me into this mess I'm currently here by blackmailing me to sign a contract and still think it's also my fault” She moved away from me trying to get a cab. People were already watching us waiting for what we'll do next.

“You're creating a scene here. Get into the car and let's go” I instructed

“No, I'm not going anywhere with an arrogant and self centered dimwit like you”

“I'm serious Vanessa. You'll regret my next action. Get into the car peacefully or I'll make you”

“What are you gonna do?, Force me the way you've been forcing me. It's nothing new right….” I didn't let her finish before I bent down and carried her on my shoulder like a bag of rice to my car.

I locked the door immediately I entered the car and I started driving towards her apartment.

The journey was silent but I could feel the daggers her eyes were sending to me. When i turned to look at her, she had a murderous look on her face.

If only looks could kill, Vanessa would have murdered me by now.

“Do you want me to get you a new apartment?, Something better than this” I asked

“Did I ask you too?. Stop behaving as if you're the richest thing on Earth” o Said emphasizing on the word thing so he'll know how it felt like to be called a thing

“We'll talk about what happened between you and my mom later. But for now, I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight” She was about opening the door when I called her to remind her of one important rule that she mustn't forget.

“Remember, you're not allowed to work until after you give birth”

“In your wildest dreams, Boss” she closed the door so hard that it could remove from the car and I was left to wonder if  the *boss she's always calling me was nothing but a mockery.
