Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate

Paul was derailed with Danica's message. He thought of how to put it through without getting Loney upset. He knew Loney's quick temper and the best way to live with Loney was to do as he wished. He never wanted his authority to be questioned. After he harnessed through his thoughts, certain of a favourable way, he put a call through to Loney. Loney was already expecting his call. He knew that Danica would not concede. Somehow, he was also excited. He inferred that right now, he would be all that Danica would be thinking about, which gladdened his heart.

"What did she say this time?" He asked Paul, as soon as he pressed the answer button.

"She wants you to come next week because the test showed negative," Paul thought this was the right way to convey the message without repeating Danica's exact words. He also hoped that Loney would just succumb and come over. That way, everyone is happy. However, Loney didn't make it any easier.

"Tell her that I will see her in two weeks," Loney sounded callous. Paul was slightly exasperated. He wouldn't be able to convince Loney without repeating Danica's words. After all, Danica had more power over him since she was going to carry his child.

Paul scratched his head in frustration and said, "about that, she said I should tell you that it's not negotiable."

Loney was upset. His patience had run out. To him, this was his web and he wasn't willing to allow Danica to exert too much power at this juncture. "She doesn't call the shots, I do. I am the one paying her and I said, that I will see her in two weeks," he said impatiently. He was having his breakfast and almost lost his appetite from the way things were going.

Whichever way, Paul tried to convey the importance of Loney coming over next week. "She said your times of appearance are not her most fertile period. Her fertile period is next week,"

Loney smirked. He wasn't going to make it any easier for her. The more time he spent with her, the closer and more attracted he was. He didn't want it to end but he also wanted a child. Right now, he wanted to possess Danica's heart and mind before she brought forth his child. Therefore, he would rather skip her most fertile period. "Well then, tell her that I'm out of the country."

"What?" Paul realized that Loney wasn't ready to come before his stated two weeks, which amazed him. While he thought Loney should be excited about it, he rather proved otherwise.

"I will see her in two weeks and remind her to not do anything outside our agreement because I'm beginning to think that she is enjoying the sex. This is a baby contract," Loney mocked and ended the call instantly. He didn't want Paul to speak further.

After Loney ended the call, Paul was completely dumbfounded. Strange strands of confusion webbed through him. Danica was eagerly waiting for Loney's response and James didn't know how to let it out. As soon as Danica saw him, she foresaw that this wasn't going to be good. "What did he say?" She asked eagerly.

James scratched his head  and said, "he said, in two weeks."

Danica grimaced, her lips curled into a pout, "I told you to tell him that it's not negotiable."

"I did but he said he paid you and not the other way round so you don't call the shots," Paul directly reported.

"But did you tell him that I said it's for a common purpose?" A crease of frustration swallowed Danica at this moment and she couldn't endure the anxiety anymore.

sex and that this is a baby contract." Danica's mouth rounded into an O shape, as she gaped in disbelief. This was worse than she thought. Her face was flushed red and she couldn't hide her embarrassment. "That isn't fair because I'm always asleep when he comes. I've never
