2 The Offer

She tried to see who was in the car but the glass of the car was tinted except for the driver's. The driver came down and greeted her.

"Hello miss,my boss has an offer for you, actually it's a contract that you'll benefit from greatly." The driver said. "What's the offer?" She asked still trying hard to see the face of the person in the car.

"My boss wants to get married to you for a year only and within this year,you are to bear him a child, the sex not withstanding. If you are able to fulfill the conditions of the contract, you'll be paid an amount of twenty million dollars." The driver stated and brought out the papers stating the conditions of the contract.

"I'm sorry,I can't do that. I have to admit the deal is very captivating but I can't. First of all,when I get married, I want it to be for love and not for a contract. Secondly, I've never met your boss and moreover, I don't want to become a divorcee because after one year your boss and I will become total strangers, am I correct?" Camilla tried to clarify.

"Yes." The driver replied with a nod.

"So I'm sorry, I can't." Camila said and walked away. She went to a nearby lake to go cool off some tension. She felt tired and hungry but she didn't want to go back home, she wasn't ready for Auntie Cherry's nagging.

Camila wondered where she had gone wrong, she worked tirelessly as both a waitress and a chef in a restaurant and coupled with all that,she was still studying in the university.

Although the restaurant didn't pay much, she couldn't quit the job because she needed the money badly for her studies and the house expenses.

Auntie Cherry never appreciated Camilla's hard work, she only squandered the hard earned money on alcohol and clubs and always loves to keep reminding Camila of the circumstances of her birth.
