At the end of a hospital corridor, the attending secretary gripped her phone in one hand while clutching a report in the other, reading aloud from the file.
“Yun Shishi, 18 years old, a student. Your father mismanaged his business and declared bankruptcy. Investigations confirm all details are accurate. Medical exams show your body is in perfect health, so custody rights pose no problem.”
This young woman sadly didn't qualify for in-vitro fertilization. They had to turn to a different option instead.
Yun Shishi stayed motionless on the bench, staring out the window at the view. Her face appeared oddly serene, but her misty eyes concealed total despair.
Her delicate, girlish features made her look even more youthful, yet her soft countenance, marked by the scars of life's trials, carried an expression far too mature for her years.
She was the perfect pick—one in a million. Her captivating beauty earned her a lavish reward from her boss. Five million dollars seemed like an enormous fortune to her.
Just three days earlier, she'd covertly inked the contract behind her father's back and was then escorted here. Locked in a room each day, she couldn't reach out to the outside world or step foot beyond, just like a patient in isolation.
She realized they were readying her body for pregnancy by bolstering her vitality, making her ideal for bearing the child.
The three daily meals prepared for her were incredibly lavish—ham, bacon, bread, beef—practically indulgent beyond measure. Aware these dishes aided those gearing up for pregnancy, she swallowed them down despite her distaste.
Yun Shishi wouldn't risk defying any directives, for total compliance was a key contract clause.
That's why, even today, she dutifully trailed her employer's secretary to this elite medical center, nerves on edge, for her checkups.
Her mysterious employer remained unseen; she'd never met him. She only knew the contract promised five million yuan upon signing—enough to pull her father from his money woes!
She hadn't breathed a word of this to her dad. On leaving, she'd merely left a note, skipping any farewell. The extended surrogacy timeline meant no homecoming soon, so she was spared his concern for the moment.
A contract stipulation demanded round-the-clock monitoring until conception. Success would trigger a one-million-dollar advance to her father's account by the next day. The secretary noted an extra payout for delivering a baby boy.
Surrogacy. Hah... How ridiculous. She'd racked her brain for ways to make cash, but never imagined bartering her body! Still, the massive sum proved too tempting to resist.
Desperate for funds, she walked this despised path.
By the ocean. An opulent seaside villa suite.
Villas in this prime spot offered stunning panoramas, commanding sky-high real estate prices as expected.
Following a quick spruce-up, a plush limousine whisked her to the villa. After brief directives, the car swiftly pulled away.
The secretary had warned her: he would arrive tonight.
Yun Shishi inhaled deeply. The breathtaking ocean vista no longer held her interest. Hauling her suitcase, she stepped into the villa with a burdened spirit.
As night descended, heavy drapes in the lavish bedroom sealed off every ray of light.
In the hushed space, she bathed and slipped silently onto the enormous bed, donning the required blindfold. Deprived of vision, her hearing intensified; she caught the whisper of sea winds and the roar of waves against the shore.
Devoid of urban glare and chaos, the profound quiet sent chills down the spine.
