Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate

Chapter Twelve



Chapter Twelve

Loney went to his head office to take care of some urgent matters. As soon as he took of his safety

booth and hard hat, his secretary Marie walked in. She held an envelope in her right hand. Loney

frowned in suspicion. “Why didn’t you call to inform me that there was a parcel waiting for me? What if I

hadn’t come here?”

“Ernest told me that you were on your way here,” she smiled.

“I see you and your bodyguard are getting close,” Loney wasn’t angry but his face was grim.

An embarrassing smile crossed Marie’s face. “It’s not like that. He received the parcel when I was

preparing a report.”

Money observed her discomfort and dismissed her, “Call Carlos for me.”

Carlos entered his office as soon as Marie stepped out. Money attention was in his computer as he

spoke, “How long have you known that Ray was here in Mexico?”

Carlo wasn't surprised at Loney’s sudden question. Money doesn't always allow him to go everywhere

with him but he also wants a job done as soon as he gives the instruction. He hates surprises. “Last

week so I sent Jonax after him.” Jonas is a deadly assassin who never misses his target.

Loney’s phone rang when he was about to utter another word. The caller ID showed Ray so he

answered it instantly. He wasn't expecting good news anyway. Carlos excused himself as soon as

Loney answered the call.

“Ray, what are you doing here in Mexico?” Loney asked directly. He didn't bother to find out Rays

reason for calling him.

“I never heard of any law forbidding me to travel to this country,” Ray responded in a rather disturbed

tone.

“So why did you call me then?”

“To congratulate you. Two of my men are down because of you and one of my warehouses worth 100

million burnt to ashes.” Loney could feel the vengeance in his tone and intended to match up to it. He

knew that only Jonax could succeed in something like that, yet, he didn't show it.

“Oh, believe me, I don’t know what you are talking about but I sure had so many problems with my

machines recently.”

“Come on, that is nothing compared to 100 million, and besides, you are the king of those machines.

My spies weren't smart enough. I know they couldn't cover their backs well.”

“You are wrong, if those machines were destroyed like you planned, I wouldn’t have lost millions too.

But you are right, my passion machines saved them. So what about you? What is your passion? You

can’t save your warehouse or your people?”

Ray knew that Loney was mocking him. He instigated his spies to cause damage to Loneys machines.

Yet, he had never thought that Loney would send an assassin like Jonax. Ray himself had received a

severe warning about he escaped by a thread of luck. “Why are you being difficult, Loney?”

“You are the one who started it. I should be the one asking that question,’ Loney solemnly countered.

“You better watch your back, Loney, you might just lose something valuable.” Ray wanted to scare

Loney into giving in.

“You know that I have nothing of value.”

“Not even your life?”

“Haha, you know that my life means nothing to me. I won’t leave a widow or a child behind.”

“So what if your life is what I am after?”

“haha, then you should know that I won’t go down without a fight. You better be prepared.”

“Loney, I will see you soon. I shouldn’t have caused your surrogates’ miscarriages. I should have

waited for them to give birth and kidnap your babies for ransom.”

Loney was hurt at Ray’s confession. Though he suspected it, hearing the truth directly was very painful.

“It’s a fact that I am always a step ahead.”

Ray was agitated for their conversation having not ended on a good note. They haven’t been able to

come to a compromise because none of them were ready to relent. “You watch your back, Loney,

goodbye.”

“No, you watch yours, Ray, the FBI might just be closer than you think.” Loney hinted.

At the sound of that, Ray hung up instantly. He knew that Loney never made ideal threats. It was

always followed with action and just as perceived, Loney had tracked his location during the call and

sent it to the FBI. Ray was on the most wanted list and therefore, he couldn’t help being caught by the

FBI.

As soon as he hang up the call, he rushed to the airport and booked a flight under a disguised name,

returning to Russia. Therefore, Loney worked peacefully for the time being. Whichever way, Ray still

had spies who fed him information about Loney but the latter had been so careful that they couldn’t get

any information about him.

At Daniella’s small family house.

Friday arrived and Daniella was on a date with Jones. There was a Christian music festival ongoing in

one of the biggest theatres. Jones knew that Danica loved such events and decided to take DaniellaNôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

there. He had a respectable job as an Accounts officer in an advertising agency and therefore, had a

stable income.

Daniella seeked Herty’s help in picking out one of Danica’s outfits to wear. She wanted to present

herself, exactly how Danica would. Therefore, she wasn’t ashamed to wear one of Danica’s long,

fashion-less dresses. Herty left before Jones arrived.

At the sound of the doorbell, Daniella ambled out to meet Jones. However, disappointment clad her

when she saw that he came with a cab. She was expecting my him to be driving one of those luxurious

cars. Still, she didn’t have the confidence to ask for his reason and forced a smile.

Jones opened the door for her to sit, which she found strange. She had never met any guy who did that

for her and was filled with profound admiration towards him. Jones took Daniella to the theatre. The

baring sound of music buffeted her in contrast to her expectation. She was used to loud music but it

was different from this one. She also had no idea of the lyrics that came with the song. Therefore, she

decided to learn some of the lyrics as fast as she could, to impress Jones and did a good job at it. She

also tried to dance to some of the songs.

“This is your favourite song, it’s good that you can still remember it, he yelled in competition with the

loud instruments.

“Really, I love it.”

“Then I guess you will love the next one too. It talks about faith and love. The unconditionality of love.”

“It’s an amazing song. Daniella said after listening and dancing for some time.

Daniella didn’t feel awkward because, some of the girls were dressed like her. Therefore, she was

comfortable.

After the program was over, Jones offered to buy some snacks which Daniella agreed, expecting him to

take her to a luxurious restaurant but Jones took her to a rather ordinary one. This time, Daniella didn’t

pretend and was genuinely grateful. However, she was amazed that Jones made the cab driver take

them to her house and left her at the door without a hug or kiss. She never knew that such men

existed.

Jones treated her with so much respect that she began to regret how she lived her life in the past.

Jones’ ways drew her to him. Every guy she met disrespected and treated her like a toy. There was no

value attached, which was in contrast to Jones and therefore, Daniella found herself thinking about him

and waiting to see him the next Sunday. She had just found the motivation to go to church.

At the mansion.

Two weeks had passed since the supposed parent visited Danica. Since then, her life has never been

the same. She spent everyday thinking about who he was and if she would ever have the chance to

see him or meet him again. Whichever way, today was worse. She couldn’t sleep through the night

because she kept thinking about whether or not her body took seed. She woke up to a knock on the

door.

She opened it to meet a young woman, probably her age mate. She had tan skin and deep brown

eyes. “Hi, Danica, I’m Dina, a nurse. I’m here to take your samples for the pregnancy test.”

Danica felt her heart beat in her chest faster than usual as she opened the door to let her in. “Are you

nervous?” Dina noticed that Danica was slightly terrified.

“yes.”

“It’s normal. Just relax. Which of the tests do you prefer? Urine or blood?”

“urine.” Danica said. She never liked the syringe thing.

“Sorry, I will have to take the blood sample because that is what our client has demanded. The result

will be sent to the supposed parent and we will send yours at his command.”

Danica nodded defeatedly and allowed Dina to take her blood sample. Afterwards, Danica waited

anxiously for the result.
