Frank stood by the doorway, slightly devastated, when Abigail opened the door for him.
It was very late at night, and it left him wondering what brought him here at this time.
He stepped into the house, ignoring a million questions in her eyes as he did so.
He sat on the bench of the kitchen counter with a sad countenance, and Abigail knew that there was something wrong.
Then she remembered that he had a girlfriend.
"Relationship troubles?" She began as she sat beside him. He looked at her and shook his head. It meant that it was so much worse.
"Is it work?" She asked him again.

Declan looked at his wristwatch for the umpteenth time as he sat in the office. It was already past office hours, but he dreaded going home to Samantha.She had been distant from him since their conversation in his study the other day. She was not speaking to him, and even when they sat down for breakfast or dinner, she was mostly on her phone. She stuck to her side of the bed like glue, so she would not have anything to do with him. There was minimal contact, and she did not let him touch her at night at all.The cold shoulder was hard for him to bear, but to him, he would rather live with that than live with the after-effect of a failed surrogacy or miscarriage again. He heard someone open the door, and Micheal stepped into the office."It's past office hours and I need to go home, sir," he requested of Declan. "My girlfriend is around, and she will be expecting him home at this time," he added, a little giddy with excitement."I thought she was your fiancee now," Declan said.

Declan had been intensely worried about Daniel's release from prison. The years had gone by quite fast, and they had relaxed so much, instead of hustling to see him stay there forever. As he sat in his office, tapping his pen wildly on his desk, he could not help but feel inadequate, like he was not prepared for whatever Daniel had up his sleeves this time. The man was unpredictable, and he was a bit scared.Micheal came in just then to inform him of his next meeting. It was going to be a virtual meeting, and he wanted to make sure that Declan was fully prepared for it. "Are you okay?" Micheal asked him, as he had noticed the sour expression Declan had carried from the conference meeting that morning.Declan was quiet for a while before he turned to Micheal."You know," he began. "Sometimes, I just wish that Daniel was dead," he said. Micheal looked at him with a surprised expression. Declan was not usually the vile one.However, he understood him.

He had employed more security and even hired a number of them, s

Georgina looked more mature than the last time Declan set his eyes on her. He still disliked her and would not pretend that he was happy to see her.Part of it was still because of the guilt that she was the one whom his wife, Samantha, had asked to sleep with so they could birth a child.Another part was that he knew that she had a stupid crush on him which he was not willing to entertain, not when he had a beautiful wife like Samantha.Gina's face broke into a big smile when she saw them. Declan did not smile.He only wished that Samantha had given him a heads-up about her arrival.Samantha seemed elated to see her and went ahead and embraced

Kennedy soon appeared from the bathroom and sat back down in his seat."You gave me a hard time in there, and I should have taken you to the bathroom with me," he said, but Hannah did not say a word.When he looked at her, there was an annoyed scowl on her face.

Georgina took a final look at the parcel that she had put together for Samantha. She had told her that it was her anniversary with her husband today, and she wanted to surprise them.She knew that Declan might not be welcoming of her idea to give them a gift, but she did not mind. She was focused on being their surrogate this time and getting paid for what she did. She liked Declan from the first day she saw him. He was tall, handsome, and rich. It was not in those physical attributes that her affection for him had sprung up. There was a tenderness that was associated with him. It showed in the way he spoke to her and was concerned about her. She thought that Samantha did not know what she had on a platter. He was a dream man, one many ladies would only fantasize about.
