CHAPTER 1
-A NIGHT WITH MY SISTER'S HUSBAND-
" A pixie is fine. She will literally be my clone once you do it on her," Gigi said.
" Do it," Anabelle nodded and the hairstylist got to work.
" I really don't want Richard to suspect this. We are newlyweds and the last thing that I want is for us to have trust issues in our marriage," Gigi bragged.
She couldn't stop talking about CEO Richard Murphy of Murphy Group of companies. He was the wealthiest man in the small town, Elgon View.
Many ladies had tried their best to get him to pick them in the bride selection process that his parents organised for him but he picked Gigi. Gigi was the chosen one, literally.
Anabelle knew that what she was about to do was wrong but she couldn't stop herself. She had already committed to this.
She was going to spend the night with her half sister's husband, the so-called Mr. Wealthy.
Gigi was almost falling into depression when she learnt that she was barren. This was going to be a huge block in their marriage because Richard made it clear from the word go that all he cared about was an heir to his property. This is after his parents insisted on choosing a bride for him. He had been single for way too long and the way he viewed women and he approached them was wanting.
He was so cold and arrogant. He was selfish. He didn't believe in love or that fantasy bullshit. All he believed in is hard work and it clearly showed in his job.
He married Gigi for an heir and Gigi had to have a child. She was not ready to break up with him. Not after the grand wedding that has left everyone in town burning in envy. They all wished that they were her.
Gigi went to his dad with this troubling reality of being barren. She had not thought of another way around it and that is when his dad suggested that Annabelle, her half sister should be her surrogate.
Truth be told, they have never seen each other eye to eye. They all didn't like her, including his own father. Anyway, for the sake of the surrogacy, they decided to be kind towards her and use her to get what they wanted.
It really troubled Gigi to know that her sister was going to sleep with her husband but her father convinced her to look at the bigger picture and that is, she will be able to give Richard the baby he craved for. Who knows, the baby might make him fall madly in love with her. She is already living a perfect life and when this happens then their marriage will be out of this world. It will be written in romance novels because the level of perfection will be unmatched.
Once Anabelle sleeps with him and gets pregnant, she will start pretending to be pregnant. When she gives birth she will take the baby and will show up and tell Richard that she has birthed a baby for him. Perfect, she loved how everything played in her head. She had initially thought that this was a big deal but it has been reduced to nothing.
She didn't care about Anabelle's feelings whatsoever. She was a servant and this will be part of her service. She really had nothing to worry about.
As Annabelle sat on the makeup chair, watching them transform her to look exactly like Gigi, she recalled that night when her father called her. This was the first time that he actually did. They didn't talk much. He was obsessed with Gigi and her mother and he didn't really care about her.
Ever since her mother died and he married her, things have changed between them. They had a good father daughter relationship but that too changed.
When her father asked her to be her sister's surrogate, she immediately said yes. She wanted to please him so badly and when he smiled, he gave her the validation that she needed.
Anabelle felt that Richard was attractive. She however didn't think much about it because she felt that he would never even look towards her direction. She was not a classy girl. She might be from a wealthy family but she is more of a servant.
" Thank you daughter," Her father told her before patting her on the back and walking away. She felt so happy. She knew that whole being her sister's surrogate, she would be able to fix her relationship with her father. She really needed him. She needed him to say that she loves her just like the way she loves him.
"You look so pretty Anabelle, just like me. I want you to own him tonight. He is my husband but this is your night with him. Do it for me, do it for your lovely sister. I mean, what are sisters for?" Gigi asked while forcing a smile.
" I will sleep with him tonight, trust me, I won't let you down," Anabelle said, winking at her.
