The Billionaire's Pregnant Lover

The Proposal

Amanda POV

I left work early today. I don't like to do that but after what happened I felt overwhelmed so I chose to take the rest of the day off from both my jobs. Perks of being hardworking and barely ever absent. I have never taken a day off so by now everyone can tell there is something wrong.

My phone rings and I take it out. Its Chase guess someone at work already told him I left. I can not talk to him right now. I need to talk to him about this in person. He hangs up when he realizes I am not going to answer. Seconds later a text comes in 'are you okay'? Am I okay? Gosh I do not even know how I feel right now. But I choose to text back.

'Not really. Talk when you get home. Just going to nap right now. Love you'. I switch my phone off before he can even respond. I get home and the first thing my mother asks,"What happened? Are you sick"? She comes and places her tiny hands on my forehead. "No mommy I am fine. I just felt really tired so I took the rest of the day off. I swear I am fine". She does not really look convinced. "Mom I am okay I just need a nap". She shakes her head,"I gave birth to you young lady so no one in this world knows you better than I. But I will let it go,for now". I smiled at her,"good. Now, how do you feel today"?

She hesitates before answering,"I...I have a few more lumps forming on my legs. It hurts so bad" she starts sobbing and my heart breaks. I hate seeing her like this. I hug her tightly but not enough to hurt her. "It is okay. I will get more medicines and get you that operation as soon as possible okay"? And she nods. I head up to my room to nap a bit before Chase comes home.

I wake up six hours later and go out to the kitchen. Chase and Mom are in the kitchen. "Hey guys" and instead of responding, Chase comes to hug me so tight I swear I almost stopped breathing,"What is going on? You never take a day off so I know something is bothering you. Please tell me"He says softly.

"Okay I will tell you but i need to breathe first. Let me go" and he lets go so fast I got dizzy and almost fell. "I am sorry kiddo I was just worried sick about you". I smile at him. "It is fine. I know I worried you but I promise I will tell you everything. I just need to eat first yeah?" And he nods. My mom takes out the plates and dishes up for us. We all sit to eat in silence. After dinner mom asks,"baby tell us what is wrong please"? I shake my head. "No mommy. This is something I need to discuss only with Chase. I do not want you stressing out". When she tries to argue Chase beats her to it. "No mom. I will handle it okay?" And she gets mad and goes to her room without another word. "Wanna talk about it now?" He asks. "Yeah but lets go to your room you know she is going to listen in". And he nods in agreement. We go to his room and lock the door playing some music cause we know she will stand at the door to try listening to our conversation.

"Okay spill. I know this has something to do with some fancy woman coming to Bruno's earlier and asking to talk to you. What was that about?" I nod. "Yeah so the woman that came earlier is Mia Martinez Scott. She is..." And he stops me,"Did you say Martinez Scott? Do you know who those people are"? He asks me. "Not really no. Who are they"? He shakes his head,"She is the wife of business mogul Reginald Scott. Her son is richer than his parents and grandparents combined". He knows her son? "What is her son's name"? I ask. "Jaxon Reggie Scott". I should probably go to the library to search his name on the Internet. "What did Mia want from you"? He asks. So I tell him everything that happened.

Flashback:

"I have an offer for you. One that I know you will not decline".

I decide to sit and listen to her. I do not say anything and just choose to look at her expectantly. She starts talking. "I have been looking into you for a while now. I saw you this one time delivering food for my son at the office and I saw how rude he was to you. But you handled him like a pro. I must say, that impressed me. And so I asked my godson to do in depth research about you. I guess I should also mention that your looks also intrigued me. You are quite beautiful my girl".

I was confused. Yes her compliment flattered me especially considering how beautiful she is but I think I am more confused. "Thank you for the compliment but I need to know. What in depth research are you talking about?" I ask her. She smiles,"honey I wanted to know everything about you. From your age to how smart you are. I saw you first grade report card. I know your blood type. I even know your father". I start sweating. My heart beats loudly against my chest. I feel like I'm suffocating. How can someone find that type of information about someone else?

She brings her hands out. "Give me your hands" she says. I reluctantly put my hands in hers. "Calm down. I know this is shocking and scary. But I do not have ill intentions. I have a.. sort of a job offer for you and I needed to know everything. Will you listen to me"? I do not trust my voice so I nod. She smiles. " Like I already told you. I have a son, he is about 9 years older than you. He is my only child and so he is my and my husband's sole heir. He is engaged but unfortunately his fiancee cannot conceive for whatever reason. I want a grandchild so badly and you my dear, are the obvious option".

Now I am more confused than ever. "O..Option f..for what" my voice is barely a whisper. "For a surrogacy of some sorts. I need you to bear heirs for my son. Two children at most. It would be a bonus if one of your pregnancies produces twins. And you will be compensated for that. Handsomely compensated". I do not know what to say. So I ask the most obvious question. "Why me? I am poor. Not as beautiful as I assume your daughter in law may be. I do not even have a child yet. I know in order to be a surrogate you need to at least have a child of you own". She nods. "This is why you will not just be a surrogate. But will be considered what you kids of today call a 'baby mama'. Honey I am trying to change your life here. I will pay you two million for each child you bear. I will buy you a house in an exclusive area. Your mother's medical bills will be sorted out. Every loan you owe will be paid up and you will not have to work for p*mps anymore. You are a smart child. I am sure there is a lot you can do with that much money. Isn't it?".

To say I am shocked would be an understatement. When she realizes I cannot say anything right now she continues,"to answer your question of 'why you'. I chose you not just because you have good genes, but you are smart,beautiful, kind,sweet and honest. You are an angel and my son is what you may consider a devil. That is the perfect balance. I want my grandkids to have such attributes. Calm down for now honey, just think about it. You are not forced to make a decision right now. I will leave you this phone. It has my number and my godson's number. His name is Richard and he will personally help you with anything you may need. He will also take care of those debtors that bother you and your family". She hands me a brand new IPhone. One I know would take up three or more months of my salary to buy. She stands to leave. "Think about it my dear. Carefully before you make a decision". With that she walks out.

End of flashback.

I look at my brother for a reaction. His mouth is slightly opened,his eyes are wide and he looks pale. "Chase say something. Anything. Please. What do I do?" I beg. And that seems to wake him up. "What do you do? I can't believe you are asking me that", he whisper shouts and stands up pacing up and down. "You get to be the baby mama of a billionaire. On top of that you are to get paid for it. Do you know who that guy is? Sis listen to me, I am not trying to p*mp you out. But this is something you cannot say no to. You have basically won the lottery here. You have to take it." And he leaves me more confused and conflicted. Who is this Jaxon guy?
