"Its You"

VICTORIA POV

"I'm contented being alone...but I never expect how amazing when you're beside me"



I was only 15 when I was adopted by a multi-millionaire couple who can no longer conceive a child, they give me all leisure in the world, all I wanted was to be provided, new clothes, a new cell phone, shoes, bags and I even attend a prestige school.

Until I got 25, I live my life in luxury, as my adopted parents give me anything I want, however in the later part things change when my Dad got sick, and little by little all our stocks and money were spending on Dad’s medication.

Due to lack of good management, one by one our company end up bankrupt and I can’t let that happen, I approach my

Mom about any option that we can do.

“I don’t know what nuisance that got into our family, I don’t know what will happen next to our dear…..sob*sob*,” she said while tears keep pouring her face, I can’t help to see her crying and so I need to make my emotion in tacked, I can’t cry or else I will feel weak.

“Shhhhh…I know there is still something we can do, we just need to look for an option to save our major company,” I said and my mom suddenly stares at me, the way she looks she seems that she is indeed has something in her mind.

“What? You have a plan right?” I ask

“Hmmm…It is about Senior Franklin..” she replied

“What’s with him?” I ask again

“Last year, he talked to us about a deal, he offers us money, company collaboration, and a lot more to offer in return for one thing..” she said

“So…what does he need from us?” I curiously ask

Mom looked at me seriously and presses my hand before she speaks

“Franklin wants to have a baby, he wants to re-marry and he wants you to be his wife, we didn’t agree on that, we cant give you up to that old hag….but then he never stops offering us the deal, hmmm so right now, I will leave it up to you the decision about your life and the corporation” Mom explains that gives me little chills to what I heard

Of course, I am not okay with that option, and start managing the company even I am still lacking the knowledge of handling it.

After few months of struggling, my Dad passed away, and after a little while, my mom died too due to depression that makes her body weak.

I didn’t know that it will all come to this, and now after the series of managing the company, I can’t save it anymore due to its more loss and debts.

Seriously, I can live like this, I can't let my precious life will end just like that, and so I decided to make up my mind and have made a big decision in my life… marrying Senior Franklin.

Right there and then we got married and the last company that my dad builds was being saved by debts with the help of Franklin’s money.

My luxurious life was brought back and become an even more classy and elegant life.

Though the payment for all of this is I need to sleep with him, I need to give him a baby.

Our first night didn’t turn out good as I really can't do it, but Franklin was too nice and he understands me, after that, on our second and third, I already manage to give in.

It was almost 3 years passed and we cant still conceived a baby until Franklin got sick, and at the age of 73, he passed away.

All his wealth was given to me, all the management of our five companies is all under my name except to one, the airline company which was given to Amanda his ex-wife

My luxurious and glamorous life retained in me and become much better although, there is a catch, even all his wealth is under my name, I cannot fully use the 75% ownership of our major company unless I will conceive the frozen eggs that are mine and sperm of him that he manages to keep inside his lab tech research company.

I have sacrificed my own life and freedom just to get what I deserved, and so I cannot let this happen that our major company will not be mine!

I am only 29 and I know it will work this time with me; I am not ready to be a mother but I am willing to take the risk.

Right now I am heading my way to the clinic where my Ob-Gyn doctor will finally inject it to me.

ANNALIE POV

I am Anna, I was born in a province where life is not so good, most of the people there cant even eat three times a day, for that reason I decided to go to the City and search for a better job.

I and my brother which is only 19 years old need to finish school and I am 25 years old, were both grew up with our Nan, she was the one who takes care of us and so I will do everything to give them both a good life that they deserved whatever it takes as long as It is legal.

Right now, it’s almost 3 years since I left Nan and Albert my brother, I am currently doing two jobs, I am a saleslady in a certain pharmacy store in the morning and a call center agent at night.

However, the money I got being a pharmacy saleslady is not enough even my salary in call center since the company cant gives us any incentives.

I decided to apply to a different call center company and fortunately, I was hired.

Since I am already hired, I need to prepare all the requirements and documents they need, they also required us to go under medical for our safety as well, it is just physical exam and minor checkups.

I am now in the clinic and doing all the stuff that needs for my medical records, I was commanded to go inside the room and lay down to the bed as the doctor will check my private area if it is okay or if I have an underlying disease.

While waiting I felt sleepy and when I open my eyes, I feel heavy on my private part, I felt pain inside, my legs are a little shaky and so I decided to stand up and go to the nursing station to ask what should I do next.

I explain that I was already checked to have this kind of feeling when I woke up, the nurse said it is all done and I can now go home and wait for the result after three days.

VICTORIA POV

When I got to the clinic, the assistant of my doctor told me to lay down to the bed inside the room and wait for my doctor as she was attending to other patients as well but she will be here in a minute.

I did as the assistant told me, I don’t know but lying in bed like this makes me sleepy, I believe I can still take a nap even for five minutes or ten.

Ten minutes passed when I was awakened by the loud voice outside, it seems there is trouble going on there, I manage to stand up and check on it.

I saw Doctor Callie who was very furious and mad, I try to ask her but she can't speak and sweat all over her face.

"What is the problem, Callie?" I ask

"Ahem..well Victoria, there’s a mistake happened. I trained her for almost a month for this procedure she is my assistant, I asked her to prep you and start the procedure since I still have a patient and I will go there to you after, but the mistake is, she injected it into another person who was a patient as well” Callie explained and upon listening to it, I was right away filled with anger.

"How stupid!!! Why did you let that happened!? No!! I can't just let this go! That is my child! Where is the patient?? " I burst out in the madness

“We keep on looking for her don’t worry,” Callie said in fear

"No!!!!!! get her back!!! This is so unprofessional!!! In the first place, this should be confidential!!" I shouted

"We will do our best to locate her, I am really sorry Victoria” she response

"Better be!!! Or else this will be the last that they will call you a doctor!!!" I said

I head my way out to get some air and chill myself up, this can't be real!! I need my child!

I was about to go inside my car when I accidentally bumped into a woman, I usually say sorry but not this time, my emotion is still at a peak and so I just ignore her but she stops me.

“Does your human side fades by your luxurious car? Does it erase your ability to say sorry??” she said with brow up on me

Since she is correct with what she says, yes I totally forgot to be a human by what happens to me right now! So I pull out cash from my wallet and give it to her as payment, I know everyone has a price but I was stunned when she holds the money and throw it to my face.

"Not everyone can be lured by money! It's just a simple sorry yet you can't even say it! Get your money! I don’t need that!” she said fiercely.

Well, I don’t care! I don’t believe she doesn’t need it! Everyone needs it! I know she is now mad at me but considering the situation I have, I am even madder than her and so I was about to push her away from me but I stopped when that stupid assistant interrupts us and she is calling the attention of this woman in front of me.

“Ms. Annalie Gibson!” the assistant said

"Yes? Is there something that I need to do again?” said this woman but the assistant faced me before she speaks.

“Ms. Victoria, this is Ms. Annallie, she was the one who received it,” the assistant said that makes my eyes wide hearing what she says, no way in hell! I cant accept that this woman is carrying my child!!

"Wha—what? Received what? I didn’t remember you give me something doc!” the woman said in confusion.

I feel like my whole world will crash down while looking straight at this tiny woman! I feel like my head will explode anytime!

Callie and the staff invite us inside her office to talk about the solution and explain this Annalie or what they call her.

I just sit on the couch with cross legs and arms and still staring at this woman but I was stunned by her loud voice as she shouts in disbelief after hearing what Callie said.

“WWHHHHaaaattt!!??? No way!!!” she shouted

"Yes! Unfortunately, my child is inside you! So we need to do something about it and make sure that my child is safe inside you!" I said with a brow up.

"No doc! Please do something about this! I can't be pregnant! I was just gonna start my new job, I need this job…I need money from my family, If I am pregnant they won't allow me to work!” she said with almost tears in her eyes.

Listening to her makes my head hurts even more, though I felt a little sympathy for her the way she said that she needs money for her family.

“I am sorry Annalie, it was really my fault but we can't undo what happens, what we can do is to wait for the baby to be delivered, and while wait, I suggest Victoria looks after you, she can actually legalize this by making you the surrogate mother of her child, you can help each other, Victoria, look after her and her safety, I will also help in any medical matters that Annalie needs,” Callie said and even I still hate her fro this mess, I kinda like the idea, I mean we are running out of option, I can't let her just carry my child without my supervision.

“Alright! I will agree to the plan, as long as I can make sure my child is safe, I will sustain all your needs, I will pay you in salary and we will discuss it alone later!” I said looking straight at this woman.

ANNALIE POV

My world just crashed about what happens today, how on earth I was injected that sort of egg and sperm and now I am pregnant??? Dang!!

We are all having a sort of meeting about what will be supposed to do and the doctor said her option that this mean woman agrees.

“Alright! I will agree to the plan, as long as I can make sure my child is safe, I will sustain all your needs, I will pay you in salary and we will discuss it alone later!” she said but my heart and mind don’t seem to make a decision…

“I don’t know! I can't seem to think right now!!!!!” I said in confusion then head my way out of the office and clinic.

Every time I feel confused and stressed, I go out for a walk, I know no one is behind me but I was shocked to notice that the mean woman is at my back and keeps following my track.

She is mean and inhumane! I hate her! Well, she wants to follow me then so be it! I am used to a long walk, let see if this bitch can do better!

I just let her follow me, I didn’t even look at her at my back, I must admit she is really gorgeous and tall and really supermodel-like but I don’t care! I am pretty too and I have my pride that makes me gorgeous than her!

"Hey! You cant do this!! That is my child if you have just forgotten!" she shouted at me but I didn’t mind her instead I continue to walk.

It was almost 30 minutes have pass that was walking and I didn’t notice it, later I realized when I almost fell to the ground since my leg is now shaking but this woman catch me that prevent me hit the ground.

We both stare at each other, I don’t know what got into me but my eyes suddenly buried on her,

Reality hits me when she starts to speak

"Now what, Are you done with your childish tantrums? Can we now go back? And just agree with my offer?, hence if you will not agree to it where are you gonna get some money for your family since your going to lose your job coz your company won't allow it once they know you are pregnant!” she said with a smirk while gently push my way from her since she almost grabbed my shoulder when she catches me.

Since I don’t have a choice and she has a point, I can't stop myself from earning money for Albert, he cannot stop his school, I won't let that happen.

"Alright, I will agree to this, but make sure you will do things for me as what we plan, you will support me with everything I need, even pay me as my salary, and maybe I could get an early payment, you see I only rent an apartment and I really need to pay,” I explained.

"Whatever it is just carry my child safely and carefully, don't worry after 10 months you are good to go and you can have your life back" she seriously said

“Okay then, it’s a deal, so.. I need to go home and rest” I said but she stops me

"no, I have a car at the clinic, and starting today you will live with me in my house, better fix your things once we get to your apartment!” she said then left me as she faces the road and surroundings seemingly searching.

“You don’t think of walking back, don’t you? I am really tire—“ I was stopped when she just rolled her eyes on me and head her way to the man with the motorcycle.

I was surprised to see her talking to the man and suddenly he handed his two helmets to her, I don’t know what is on her mind but she just walk towards the motorcycle and start it, I quickly walk towards her to know what is she up to.

"Come on ride in, sit tight and hug my waist" I was shocked to realize that she can really drive a motorcycle! I mean her looks don’t seem so.

I quietly hop in and hug her tight, she smells so good and when I touch her waist, I can sense a built abs on it, she is indeed physically fit and sexy!

I don’t like her attitude but damn I must admit I like her physique!

She drives a little faster but I feel safe since I am hugging her tight, when we got to the clinic she left the motorcycle under the supervision of the security guard of the clinic.

I am now inside her car going to my apartment, I pay the last rent than fix my things, I really don’t have a lot of stuff, I always send all my salary to the province so sometimes nothing left for me to buy what I want but its okay, seeing my brother and Nan happy and safe is important for me.

Now we are heading to her house, I was a little surprised to see how big her house is, there is also lots of maids and assistant that is waiting outside.

When I was about to get off the car I was assisted by her maids, they even bring my stuff and show me my room.

Her house is really like a palace, she is like a queen living alone, I did not see the other parts as I choose to go straight to my room coz I feel a little tired of what happens this whole day.

The problem now is…how am I supposed to live my whole 10 months inside this big but lonely palace with a gorgeous but meanest person I have ever met!
