Chapter 2 - Escape

1005 Words
Two months later. “How is the progress of the IVF program you did? Did the woman manage to get pregnant, huh?” A handsome man with ocean blue eyes stared sharply at Dr. Lily. His jaw was firm, his eyebrows thick, and he had a beard, giving a masculine impression. “I’m tired of hearing about failure again, or I’ll rip your mouth off!” added Alston. A murderous aura emanated from the richest man in the USA. “I have good news for you.” Dr. Lily smiled happily. She handed over the ultrasound results to Alston. The 35-year-old man looked at it. “What does that mean?” “The ovum donor woman successfully got pregnant.” “Really? Are you kidding me?” Alston stared at Lily cynically. “Of course not.” The man smirked wickedly. Finally, he had solved the problem that had troubled him for years. Dr. Lily shivered seeing the man smirk. Shouldn't he be smiling happily because he was going to be a father? ‘Finally, I can inherit all of grandma's wealth.’ Jane, Alston's grandmother, always urged the man to get married and have a son so the Mazwel family would have an heir, since Alston was the sole heir of Mazwel Corp. Unfortunately, Alston had issues in bed, making it difficult for him to impregnate a woman. He struggled to reach a climax and release his sperm. Even though he often slept with many beautiful women, from celebrities to models to wealthy women, to rekindle his dead passion. Finally, Alston decided never to marry, but Grandma Jane threatened not to give him all her wealth if he didn’t have a child. Alston was frustrated because no doctor could cure him. He was confused when they said they couldn't find any illness and declared his body very healthy. Doctors suspected Alston had psychological issues affecting his libido. Alston didn’t deny it, as he had a dark past with women that instilled deep hatred in his heart. After consulting with Dr. Lily, the only way for him to have a child without touching a woman was through an IVF program. He just needed to find a female donor willing to carry his child without having s*x. Finally, he was free from Grandma Jane's torturous demands. “Where is that woman? I want to meet her tomorrow.” Alston had to ensure the woman came from a good family. He didn’t care if she was poor. At least the mother of his children had to be beautiful so she wouldn’t disgrace his famously good-looking family. “You'll meet her tomorrow, but I hope you don't forget my reward.” “Don’t worry. I’ll pay you as much as you want.” *** “Have you gone mad, Lily?! How dare you use my daughter as a guinea pig!” Claire peeked through the door crack when she heard Elizabeth arguing with someone over the phone. ‘What's going on? Who is Mom talking to? Why is she so angry?’ Claire worried. She had never seen Elizabeth so mad. “I won’t let Claire meet that bastard! That child belongs to Claire, not him!” “....” “I don't care if you bribe me with millions or billions of dollars! I’ll never destroy my daughter’s happiness by giving one of her children to him!” “....” “I’m not afraid, even if your client is a CEO, mafia boss, gangster, or president! Your threats won't change my decision! That baby belongs to Claire, forever! You remember that!” Elizabeth hung up the phone angrily. She put her phone on the nightstand, then sat weakly on the bed, massaging her aching head. The 45-year-old woman was shocked to learn that Lily planned to take one of Claire’s twins after she gave birth and give it to the man whose sperm it was. What parent could bear being separated from their child? Sometimes Elizabeth regretted her decision to take Claire to Lily’s lab. What’s the point of Claire being pregnant if the sperm donor man intended to take her baby? “How dare that bastard think of my daughter as a baby factory! If I meet him, I’ll beat him up!” However, on the other hand, Elizabeth harbored a great fear in her heart. What if the man was indeed a mafia? He wouldn’t hesitate to kill Claire if she refused to hand over her child. ‘What should I do, God?’ Elizabeth's tears flowed heavily. Claire had just found her happiness in becoming a mother, but now God wanted to take it away. “Are you okay, Mom?” Claire held her mother’s wrinkled hand. Elizabeth hurriedly wiped her tears and scolded Claire, “How long have you been here?! You need to go back to rest, so your baby is fine!” “You don’t need to worry. I’m fine.” Claire smiled. “You don’t have to hide the bad news from me to protect my feelings. I’ve heard everything. That man wants one of my babies, right?” Elizabeth sighed heavily. “I’m sorry, dear. Your life has become harder because of my selfishness. If I hadn't taken you to that place, you wouldn't be trapped in this frustrating situation.” Her voice trembled, holding back tears. Claire smiled sweetly. “Don’t feel guilty. I’m very grateful you took me to that place, so I could get pregnant.” “But—” “I know my pregnancy is very risky. Maybe that stranger will hunt me to take my children. But I’ll never give up. Isn’t that a mother's nature?” Claire looked at Elizabeth softly. She would imitate her mother to become the perfect mom. Elizabeth cried. “If that's your decision, you must go as far away from this city as possible. You need to hide your children. I’ll call your uncle. You’ll stay with him for a while until the situation is safe.” “Alright.”
