Ever since then Ellen and Harriet haven’t been getting alone so well but Harriet still talks to her, she still treated her so well as before and she thought Ellen will apologize but she didn’t, she waved that off her mind and was just looking forward to the day Ellen will put to bed so she can have her baby.
On a fateful evening Harriet and Williams were back from work. Williams was downstairs at the sitting room while Harriet was taking a shower. Williams has pleaded with his wife to forgive his action and she did, she couldn’t be mad at Williams for a long time because she love him and trust him so much she still believe whatever he did with Ellen was just a mistake. She loved and cherish Williams and wouldn’t want to ruin her marriage.
Ellen smiled when she saw Williams alone at the sitting room, she was dressed in her nightie, her hair was packed in a ponytail, her baby bump was really obvious thou it wasn’t really big.
“Williams,” she smiled as she stood in front of him.
“do you need anything?
“i want us to talk,”
“about?
“about us Williams,”
“theirs nothing left to talk about Ellen. Everything that happen between us was a mistake. I don’t love you. Harriet is my wife and only her have that space in my heart,” he said, those words were like a knife pierced into Ellen heart she felt so broken. All this while she thought Williams also had some feelings for her.
“but am carrying your child, am the one you should love. Am the right woman for you Williams i love you please,” she said in a cracking voice.
“it not easy for me to leave my husband and daughter to help you carry your child here Williams but i did because i have a good heart. I want you, i love you, i want to be your wife,”
“you’re a good person Ellen but now i know you’re the worst person i have ever meet. You should have apologize to Harriet already for what you said to her the other day, you’ve hurt her so bad with your words and even if you’re carrying my baby Harriet is far better than you as a woman,” he said while Ellen burst into more tears all she felt was anger and pain.
“i love you.. and only me can give you as many babies as you want.. only me! only me can do that. Harriet isn’t a good woman she can’t even be a mother she’s just someone with no direction, i don’t even think she can raise a family because doesn’t have that qualities in her,”
“stop it Ellen! don’t ever say that about my wife right to my face. You’re just so worse than the devil himself. Harriet picked you up and make you who are today and if not for her your daughter would have been death so show her some respect,”
“yes i know she did a favor to me but that was over i have repay her and she doesn’t owe me anything again. Leaving my family behind and coming here to carry her child is something she can never do for me so am the one with the bigger favor here, am the one she will worship and always be thankful of because am carrying your child,” she yelled making Williams so angry he wonder when Ellen turn out that way.
“huh! is that it..
you’re the one with a bigger favor? that’s one of the reason we have it legal you’re being paid for and well taken care of. We pay you handsomely each month and you still stay with us to ensure your safety so you’re doing no one a favor because we paid you for this and beside you’re married why do you want to turn against your husband and daughter? he asked but Ellen was quiet, she wipe her tears.
“because i love you Williams.. i just want to make you the happiest man, i want to be your wife, i want to have all this luxury life with my daughter Loretta too,” she whimpered.
“you know what Ellen just go back to your room,” Ellen shamelessly pull him trying to ki-ss him so bad which make him more angry, despite how angry he was, he try to control his anger because he knew hurting her means hurting his child and he don’t want that to happen.
“that’s enough Ellen, i wonder where you got such guts to do this. You’re married already so please stop fooling yourself because to me right now you’re a fool, such a desperate fool! he yelled at her in anger. Ellen slapped him so hard.
“now am the fool, the only fool here is your wife. Anyway i won’t blame you because both you and Harriet are incompetent. Such incompetent couple! she yelled then hurried to her room.
“love..” Harriet called as she descend from the stairs in her nightie.
“were you talking to Ellen? she asked.
“Ellen wasn’t what we thought she was, she’s a real bit-ch she want to replace you Harriet, she want to be by wife,”
“i don’t know why this have to turn out this way just when we are close to have our baby, it just two months remaining but the trouble we are having is just too much or do you think Ellen is obsesses with you because of the pregnancy, you know some pregnant women can act so funny atimes,” she said.
“it obvious Ellen is serious about everything she’s saying Harriet, she said she have repay you already and she’s now the one doing you a bigger favor by carrying our child, Ellen is just something else now,” he said so worried but they worried change to a surprise face when he saw Ellen dressed up with just her hand bag.
“you incompetent couple now leaving now, this whole deal is over,” she smirked.
“Ellen.. we can just talk this out, i don’t want you to stress yourself, i don’t want my baby to be involve in all this mess,” Harriet pleaded with her but Ellen turn deaf ears, she insisted to leave and they let her be- if that’s what she want then we should allow her do so, maybe we both need some space from each other,” Harriet suggested- but she still believe Ellen will come back soon for her delivery.
✨Days pas-sinto week, Ellen was still serious about what she said, she promised never to return to that house again nor even give them the baby, they called her several times but she wasn’t picking, she was making the whole thing difficult for them and Harriet suggest they talk to their attorney-
It was a contract after all and they have make this whole thing legal and was approved by their lawyers so if Ellen choose to misbehave then she need to be punished. Williams told her it’s better they handle the case within themselves for now.
????Jones wasn’t comfortable with what Ellen did, he talked to her to avoid getting herself into trouble because this was made legal and anything can happen but she refused.
** “you suppose to be the real Mrs. Gonzalez since you’re carrying their child, do all you can to win his heart Ellen, you deserves a better life and this is your chance to win him over. Harriet doesn’t deserves such man,”** her friend voice still echoed in her ears. Ellen felt so pained to know Williams doesn’t even love her despite how ha-rd she tried, the best thing was to take their baby from them, she vow never to give them back no matter what and she doesn’t even care if the whole thing was made legal and this might implicate her because Harriet and her husband are the legal parents of the baby!
.
Ellen stood so angry as Loretta teacher in school explain to her what happen.
“Mr Williams took her with him just few minutes ago, he said he will dropped her home himself,” the teacher explained while Ellen felt so much anger,
she returned back home and still didn’t see Williams, she knew Jones will be so angry with her if he later comes back home from work to know Loretta was involved in the whole mess and the worst thing is that has warned her to go back and complete what she started with Harriet but she stubbornly refused, she quickly picked her phone and called Harriet.
???? “Harriet where the heck is my baby? where is Loretta because am sure your husband took her home,” she yelled over the phone while Harriet was confused.
???? “what! i don’t think Williams will do such thing but he isn’t home yet! anyway i will call and talk to him. But please Ellen take good care of yourself and the baby or you can still come back to us please…” she pleaded.
????”i will never do such thing so you better call your so called husband to return Loretta back to her school,” she warned before ending the call. Harriet felt so heartbroken she quickly called Williams.
???? “Williams.. where are you?
????”am on my way home with Loretta,”
????”what for? Ellen just called and told me that, she was so mad at us. Please Williams just take Loretta back home i will personally talk to our attorney if Ellen is still proving stubborn we can even file a case against her,” Harriet said so worried, she don’t want the little girl to get involved.
????”am not trying to hurt Loretta, i know with Loretta in our house Ellen will come back to her sense. It’s almost two weeks now Ellen was serious about what she said, can’t you see she doesn’t want to give us our baby and i know once she put to bed and might run with the baby please Harriet i promise you nothing will happen to Loretta,”
he said then ended the call before Harriet even say a word.
“are you taking me home or to your mansion? little Loretta asked.
“which one do you prefer? Williams asked with a smile as he continue driving.
“well now that mommy is back i want to see her but i also want to go to your mansion to see that beautiful house and also your wife,” she smiled.
“Harriet will be so happy to see you too and there are lots of chocolates for you there,” he said.
“wow..,” Loretta giggle feeling so happy. Williams felt so bad, he wish he could drive the poor girl back home but he wanted Ellen to come and pick her up at their house herself so they could talk. Immediately his phone rang and he felt satisfied to see Ellen’s call, he knew she could call if Loretta is involved in this..
????”don’t involved my daughter Williams,” she yelled into the phone,.
????”and don’t involved my baby too,”
????”baby! am the one carrying the baby and i have every right to do whatever i want to do with the baby because i am the real mother here,” she shouted
???? “you’ve changed so much Ellen,
anyway i and Loretta are on our way back home and you know what Loretta will stay with us for this whole two months until you come with our baby. Ellen am giving you just two months- two months is quiet a long time to think over everything you did so am giving just two months to come home with my baby or else after these months i, Harriet and Loretta will be leaving the country and you will never see your daughter again,”
????”what! you can’t do that to me,”
????”then do the right thing Ellen… please take back your words and do the right thing,” he cut off the call, he glance at Loretta and saw how confused she was.
“we are leaving? she asked, Williams was looking at her the whole time and before he raise his head to look at the main road it was too late- they got into a ghastly accident.
An hour Later????
Harriet rushed to the hospital in tears when she received a call from the doctor.
“doc.. how is my husband,” she asked amidst of tears.
“am sorry Ma’am, but your husband was with a little girl,” he said while her heart skip a bit. Could that be Loretta!
“i guess you should see the girl so you could recognize her,” the doctor said while Harriet followed him, her heart was shattered into pieces when she took her to the morgue, she wonder what was going on..
“this the girl Ma’am,” he said while Harriet was shocked to see Loretta in a pool of her blood.
“am sorry we lost the girl, she was dead even before they were rushed here,”
Harriet felt so broken, she felt her world crumbling as she rushed to Loretta and held her- this was the lively little girl she once saved. She burst into tears and wonder how Ellen will take the news if only Williams had listen to her he shouldn’t have involved Loretta now Ellen will hate them the more. At that point Harriet even forgot to ask of Williams.
A few hour later Harriet sat down at the waiting area, she already told the doctor to call Ellen, she wish she could turn back the hands of time so she can forget about the surrogacy and moved on with her life.
“doc.. i didn’t see Williams what happen to him? she said trying to hold back more tears.
“he was badly injured, he isn’t in a good condition now because he’s in a coma,” he broke the news to her…
Ellen and Jones rushed to the hospital and Harriet was more scared when she saw them.
“what happen.. where is my daughter? Ellen asked while Jones looked worried as well. Harriet was quiet she don’t know how to tell them the whole thing, Ellen is pregnant and this whole thing might affect her baby.
“are you Ellen Larioza? the doctor asked as he walked towards them.
“please doc, what happen? where is Loretta? Jones yelled at him.
“come with me please,” the doc said while Jones trailed behind him.
“if anything bad should happen to Loretta i will make sure you’ll never have your baby,” Ellen yelled at her then hurried to catch up with the doctor. Harriet was already in tears now she have no one by her side.
She followed them to the morgue and she stood by the door, she could heard their cries which make her cry too. She peep throu-ghthe door and saw how bitterly Jones was crying as he held his daughter, Ellen was filled with so much hatred for her and all she could think at that time was not to give them their baby. Ellen walked out of the room in tears but bumped into Harriet at the door.
“you bit-ch ,” she yelled in range as she grabbed Harriet by her hair.
“you killed my daughter, you took Loretta away from me,” she cried.
“am sorry Ellen, we didn’t mean to hurt you this way,” Harriet cried.
“where is your husband because he also need to be death, he should be the one death and not my daughter,”
she yelled.
“but you started this whole thing Ellen, if only you didn’t leave then Williams will never think of taking Loretta. And after all it was an accident Williams never intend to hurt Loretta, he was also hurt,” Harriet said amidst of tears.
“i don’t care and for this reason you will never see me again talk more of your baby. You caused Loretta death and am keeping your baby as my replacement,” she yelled, Harriet felt more heartbroken when she heard that.
“no Ellen.. this is a contract and i can sue you to court for that,”
“i can also sue you to court for the death of my daughter. You and Williams plan that so you could kill Loretta and you successfully did so. You ruined my life completely Harriet,” Ellen said in then hurriedly left.
The whole thing turn out to be a mess. Harriet told Dr. Nigel and his wife, they suggested she give Ellen some time so she could mourn her daughter but days turn into weeks and weeks into months Ellen was nowhere to be found with her husband and the last thing she told Harriet on phone was to back off because she’ll never gonna give the baby to her. This time Harriet was more devastated, she felt like a half part of her is gone- the unborn baby she was longing to see. She searched everywhere for Ellen but she was nowhere to be found, she has spent a lot in this whole thing and she can’t be at the losing end-
she has lose so much money which include the huge amount she usually pay Ellen each month, she badly wanted her baby back to her.
Williams was awake from the coma, for good two months! that was a big relief to Harriet she was so glad to know she still have her husband with her. After few treatments he was later discharged home and she told him all that happened and how Loretta died while Ellen ran away with their baby.
Williams felt so guilty he wonder how Ellen felt at the time but it wasn’t his fault either, it was an accident and he was badly hurt as well but he also felt he should be the one death and the not the innocent little girl. Thinking about his life and marriage Williams drastically changed towards Harriet and that was when he choose to leave.
“you’re leaving? Harriet asked so worried
“yes Harriet after everything that happen we still end up to be losers- we’ve spent so much and yet we end up without the baby we were looking forward to, Loretta was involved in the whole mess,” he yelled.
“you shouldn’t blame yourself for what happen to Loretta, it was an accident!
“i know but it all your fault Harriet,”
“and why is it my fault?
“because you were just so desperate to have a baby! if not for you we wouldn’t have involve that Ellen in our family issues, i guess you were right this whole marriage is fruitless and it has caused nothing but pain so am leaving and don’t bother to look for me because am done with you,” he said with all seriousness.
“but… but you still love me right? Harriet asked trying to blink back the tears threatening to come out. This was just too much to take in, she just lost her baby to another woman and now her husband is leaving.
“just try to forget me and this marriage,” Williams said as he turn to leave but Harriet quickly stopped him, she hug-ged him so tight and cried.
“please Williams, am sorry for everything please forgive my shortcomings but i can’t do this alone without you please you promise to love me forever, you promise to always stand by me, you promise me a lot of things Williams and we can’t just part our separate ways. I love you so much,” she whimpered but Williams pushed her back without thinking twice he left and never returned.
.
Ellen has already gave birth when they moved to Ontario, she felt so great being a mother again and she named the baby *BIANCA* She loved her so much and that always remind her of Loretta even thou Bianca can’t actually replace Loretta in her heart she still love her as a mother should. Jones felt so angry over the whole thing, he has loved and care for Loretta so much and her death really affected him, he still warned Ellen to give Bianca back to her legal parents because he has promise never to even helped her raise Bianca.
“Bianca can never be my child and she can never replace Loretta so just give them back their daughter Ellen stop being a fool,” he yelled at her with so much anger.
“am a mother Jones and i know what it means to be a mother, those people kill Loretta and not going back on my words. Bianca is mine now,” Ellen insisted and ever since then Jones hated Bianca, the responsible man in him was gone, he never really cared for Ellen nor Bianca.
Few months Later
Harriet called her mom and told her the whole story, her mom has to come all the way from Berlin to see her daughter, she suggest she follows her back to Berlin but Harriet refuse.
“you need a change of scenery, you need people, you need noise to distract you from all these Harriet just come with me,”
“no mom.. i just want to adopt since Williams already left i guess it’s better i just adopt a child and moved to Ontario. I want to be back on my feet again, i want to be strong even without Williams so that by the time i meet Ellen and Williams again they will both know am not the same Harriet they once knew.
And with that her mom supported her to adopt, the visited the orphanage with her mom. When they were taken to the children center so she could pick anyone she likes Harriet saw a baby in her crib. It was love at first sight, she completely fall in love with the baby, she walked over stare at the baby, she was so little and she wonder why a little baby ended up here.
“Mrs. Stella who is this baby? she asked the woman in charge.
“oh! she Clara Santos, she’s just two months old,”
“two months old, she’s too little Harriet i thought you’ll gonna adopt someone from age 5 to 10. This baby will only be a headache to you it not easy to raise a little baby like this,” her mother said.
“i know mom,”
“please did you know anything about the baby? Harriet asked to know more.
“she was brou-ght here a month ago by her poor uncle according to him her father was late when her mom was few weeks pregnant with her. Her mother also died during her delivery, the relatives from her father’s side didn’t care about the baby and since he was the only brother to her mom he brou-ght her here saying he couldn’t take care of her,” she explained.’
“i think am adopting this one,” she smile staring at the baby.
“it gonna be so stressful for you Harriet,” her mom said.
“mom! my life has been a mess. I want to start it all over with someone else since my baby is not here i want to start a new life with this baby. I want to be her mother, i want to raise her myself, i want to be with her every step of the way, i want to be there when she will take her first step and learn how to walk,” Harriet smile amidst of tears as she stare at the baby.
“i want to be the first person she will call mom, i want to see her smile and call me mom each day then we will live happily ever after with her as my daughter. That’s what i want and this is something i should have do a long time go, there are many children in the world and all they need is acceptance, that’s what i will do, i will make her mine daughter and as my daughter she’ll be *Annie Gonzalez from now henceforth…
