THE BROODER

3.

***ASHLEY ***

Saga: The time is here momma. Give him, you know the deal. Look, you know I hate to do this but Sav has the final say here and I can't do anything. I'm powerless too. I work for him and he's been good enough...

" Don't tell me that bulls**t! He's been nothing but a beast to us all. I didn't choose any of these. I am held captive against my will here, kidnapped, r***d and the only good thing I have...my ssssun. Please don't take him. He's all I have here...plllleeeaaassse"

I know it's useless crying over spilled milk but I still have to try for my baby boy. He's only Thirteen weeks old. He's still on breast milk. He likes being held only by me. He can't survive without me. My baby needs me. I need him too...to be sane.

Three security held me as I cried and wailed for my Sun...he took him and I never saw my baby again. I never saw saga again too. I heard from the other guards that he's in the other branch and that he'll never come here again.

Six months later,

"Ashley, doctor Segundo wants to see you in his office" A heavy pregnant Bahle informs me as I lie on my bed thinking about my Sun now.

He should be crawling now or perhaps walking too. I don't even know. I just want him alive and healthy.

One day I will leave here and I'd look for the kid with an ASH initial at the back of his left ear. Yes, that night at the delivery room, I took the hospital scissors used to carve my initials at the left side of his ears. I drove it so deep that my baby wailed loudly. I had to do it for me and him.

Doctor Segundo: Ashley, my lovely lady. You are highly favoured my beauty. Can you imagine three clients all requested for you. They love your eyes, pointed noise, perfect lips and your entire sculpture. You're a really hot brooder in the market. Everyone all want a piece of you. So let's start the process first thing tomorrow morning. Is 7:am okay with you?"

I didn't say a word. I was just thinking about what kind of doctor accepts this lifestyle. To think I have aspired to be a surgeon as a kid ...

The next morning...

Doctor Segundo inseminated the sperm into me that morning. He made me to lie still on the bed for hours without moving.

Later that day, I came to the room to meet Amina crying and the others consoling her. I already knew that her baby girl has been taken from her. She had fussed over the little girl saying she looks exactly like her late mother. She even called her Zainab, her late mother's name.

Honestly I don't know why people do this brooding of a thing. If want a child badly, adopt, give birth yourself or try legal surrogacy. It's safer, cheaper and less stressful. I really don't know why people do this.

We all tried consoling Amina but we later joined her in crying, each one of us thinking about our child(ren).

This pregnancy was the easiest pregnancy of all, I didn't feel pregnant at all. I was just lazing around the library reading one medical book or the order.

The library was an inbuilt private library of doctor Segundo but he lets me read them. And that kept me in sane for so long.

I already knew the gender of my child. She's a quiet one. I named her 'Moon' from the womb. She's calm like the moon and I bet she'll be so beautiful like her name.

Moon came earlier than planned. I didn't feel labour pain or anything. I was just at bathroom that night, taking a bath,a cool refreshing tub bath for the night when suddenly Amara shouted that i was in labour. She saw the water bloody and ran to call the two witches. The nurses. I had moon in that tub. She had no health complications... just a white hair patch at the forehead.

Again that night, I carved my initials at the back of her left ear and my strong warrior didn't even cry. She took it in like the soldier she is. A brave soldier. My baby was only three weeks when they took her away from me. This time around,I was prepared for her leaving.

" My beautiful moon, mummy is leaving you for a while... just a little while and everything will be fine soon. I'll find you and your older brother Sun and we'll be united as a family. Be strong for mummy my warrior! And wait for me"

I called nurse May and they took her away. I was worried for my little girl but I knew she'll be fine.

***RICHARD***

The day I avenged my parents, I was shot on my ribs. The doctor said I won't be able to walk after the surgery but I run today. It took a lot of determination to be able to reach where I am today.

The underground business has it's ups and downs and it's a dangerous world. I couldn't date or get emotionally attached to anyone. I have so many enemies. The ones I know and the unknown enemies.

Three years ago, I had this regular b***h, Carolyn, that I kept around to f**k anytime i feel horny. She's was on my payslip and my own personal booty call.

I tried reaching her one time and I couldn't get her. I tried for some days yet no response. I knew something was up so I kept quiet until she called one evening crying, I could hear the kidnappers hitting her and all that. I was raging mad at their demands. They want a plot of my territories or else they'll kill her.

I called Jordan to track them and deal with them but they're far from our reach. I had to let them do their worse and they did.

Those bastards kept sending me her body parts till Matt came in the picture and we captured them and killed all of them all. But it was already too late. Carolyn died as a booty call to death. She died because she was connected to me. I didn't want that anymore. I don't want any commitments or connection. I do smash and move on with social media influencers and some celebrities. I go for public figures, models, artists and famous people. I know they come with personal security and I don't connect with them.
