A week later.
Fox family mansion.
Leo Fox was seated in his study going through a stack of documents but eventually he put it down and left his seat.
He headed downstairs where he met his grandma, Ralia Fox. She was his surviving relative that he treasured. She was knitting a sweater while humming a song he was unfamiliar with.
“Nana,” he softly called as he sat beside her.
“Let me help you,” he offered but she shook her head and harrumphed.
“You’re not worthy. I want only my granddaughter-in-law to help me,”
“Not this again,” he sighed in defeat. “Nana, I promise I’ll bring you a granddaughter-in-law soon, okay?”
She looked at him, “How soon?”
“Uhm… When the time is right. But I’ll surely bring a woman home someday,”
“I’m afraid by the time you decide to bring a lady, the grass on my grave would already be ten feet high.”
“No, grandma. I won’t let that happen to you.”
“Death is inevitable, Leo. It could be knocking at the doors as we speak to claim me,”
Leo shook his head, “No, I don’t believe so, Nana,”
“I want a great-grandchild this year,” she stated.
“This… How about I go through surrogacy then?” he suggested.
“In your dreams,” she flicked his forehead in annoyance, “How can you say such a thing, Leo. What’s the use of that thing between your legs? For decoration? If you’re not going to use it properly, you might as well cut it off so I’ll know I won’t get get another offspring in this life.”
“Nana, don’t be mad, okay. I’ll bring a beautiful woman home this year, I promise,”
“I’ll give you just three months. If you don’t produce a lady, then I’ll commit suicide.” She warned.
“No, grandma, you won’t do such thing,” Leo disputed.
“Then try me. The three months starts from this very minute. Bring me a good-mannered girl and produce an offspring at the end of the year at least. Let me carry your offspring before I give up the ghost okay? Or I won’t know how to face the Fox family ancestors when I pass away.” She admonished and he nodded.
“Yes, grandma. I will bring a good girl on the last day of the three months period,”
“You pesky little brat. What about the days before the three months end? Can’t you bring a girl before then? You said you wanted to help me out right? Here is the wool. Start from scratch. You have to make a baby’s hat before the end of today or I’ll jump off the balcony for you to see,” she ordered with a deep scowl.
Leo let out a sigh of resignation. He truly shot himself in the foot by offering to help her out earlier.
He took the materials and sat opposite her, beginning to make what she requested. As he worked, his thoughts flew towards that night in the hotel room. He didn’t see the woman’s face clearly; All he wanted to do was quell the intense lust that had caused a huge tent to form in his pants that night.
And after reading that note, he’d thought that would be the end of everything but since that day, he’d been thinking more of the unknown woman. Last night, he even dreamt of marriage with her at the altar. Each day, she was dominating a larger chunk of his mind to the point he could no longer concentrate on his work. That was the reason he came downstairs in the first place.
“Maybe if I bed one or two sexy women, this annoying feeling will go away,’ he thought with resolution.
However, the attractive women he tried to bed within the span of 3 days disgusted him. The only woman who he felt wad worthy for him to have relations with was that unknown woman. Just thinking of her often made his c**k stand at attention.
“That’s it. I’m going to find her whether she like it or not,” he decided, and picked up his phone to call a certain number.

Meanwhile, at the William’s mansion.
Kimberly was seated in her bed, still in disbelief of what happened earlier today.
Two days ago, she’d been feeling nauseous and thrown up several times this morning. Her father was away on a business trip with her cousin, Casey Williams.
She went to the hospital to get a test done so as to know what was wrong with her.
And when the results came out, she was shocked.
“Congratulations, ma’am. You are pregnant,” the doctor had smilingly said.
She couldn’t be pregnant for her ex because he’d proudly revealed to her last week that he’d been feeding her birth control pills hence the reason for her ‘barrenness’.
She thought back to that night in the hotel she lodged. How she got drunk and headed into the wrong room.
And how a stranger had relations with her. She recalled that this unknown man f*cked her better than Ryan ever did. But she wanted nothing with him, especially if he turned out to be some despicable guy that wanted to drag her name into the mud.
With her old classmate’s help, all evidence of her ever been in that hotel had been wiped out, at least that’s what she thought until today.
Present in her belly was fat evidence of that night. She was pregnant with quadruplets for a man she didn’t know.
“Just when I thought my life was getting back on track, this suddenly had to happen,” Kimberly was at a quandary on what to do. Getting rid of the pregnancy was impossible. It was her mistake, the babies in her womb were innocent and deserved to see the world at least.
But how would she face her father when her pregnancy bump begins to show? What would she tell him?
“Oh, heavens, what did I do to deserve this?” Kimberly whispered, staring at the beautiful ceiling, tears flowing down her cheeks.
