“So she is the one?” Master Ben asked immediately he got to the room where Karen was being held captive. She was sleeping due to the drugs placed on her nose and wasn’t aware of what was going on.

“Yes master Ben, she is the one. What do we do next?” The butler asked.

“Inject her with the injection so she can wake up.” Master Ben said.

“Okay.” The butler said. He bought an injection from his pocket and inserted it into Karen’s arm. After inserting all the whole contents, he placed back the injection into his pocket.”

“It will take a while for her to recover. Let’s wait.” The butler said as he went to sit down.

Master Ben studied Karen for a while. Not lie she was a pretty lady, with her hair scattered everywhere while she slept quietly.

Her snow-white skin looked smooth and delicate under the shining light and her clear eyes were so enchanting that pulled people in at first glance. Her lips were so gorgeous that a man would love to kiss them.

Master Ben was still starring at her when Karen coughed and gently opened her eyes. This made him to quickly look away from her.

Her vision was blurry hence it took her a while before she began to see every where clearly. She tried to get up but saw that the chair she was sittting on was tied with a rope.

“Ahhh this hurt.. where am I. Who are you and why have you keep me hostage?” Karen asked weakly.

“Calm down miss, don’t try to stand up or you will hurt yourself.” The assistant told her.

“I said who are you and what do you want from me? Please let me go I haven’t done anything wrong to you.” Karen said almost weeping.

“Lose her now! Don’t inconvenience the girl!” Master Ben said.

“Yes master.” The assistant said as he quickly brought out a knife from his pocket and cut the rope. Her hands were already red as she tapped her hands to reduce the pain.

“Am so sorry about the treatment melted on you, I specifically told the boys not to tie you but they disobeyed me…. Anyways, hope you aren’t too hurt?” Master Ben said with a remorseful expression.

Karen saw the humble way he acted and instantly knew he was a good man.

“No. Don’t worry about it, it’s just a little injury but no problem about that, am fine. So sir, why did you abduct me? I have never seen you before..” Karen said, sounding as politely as she could.

“You had a one night stand with my son right. Last night?” Master Ben asked.

Karen immediately frowned her face, “No!”

“Don’t try to deny dear, we are aware. In fact, I am very delightful that you were able to achieve what no other lady couldn’t. I can now have a grandchild all thanks to you!” Master Ben said and hugged Karen who looked at him in confusion, allowing what he said to sink into her.

“Grandchild? For who? Is it me?” You surely must be mistaking!” Karen said as she set her self free from his hug.

“Don’t worry dear, I shall compensate you when you give me a grandchild. My son put work first before anything else and because of that, he has no time for any woman. We have tried to link him up with different ladies who failed to seduced him but you did just without any one hiring you. The man you slept with last night at Zenith Hotel and Bar was my son. You don’t know this, but you just did a great favor for us!” Master Ben was saying , with smiles all over his face.

One could tell that with the way he was smiling, certainly this was one thing that had hooked him to the neck and it just seems Karen had help to unhooked it.

Getting to lay with a man in the first place wasn’t part of the plan, plus she never intended to give birth to a baby for an unknown stranger because she was still too young. Also, even if she got pregnant, she will need to remove it because it will only ruin her life.

No longer pretending, Karen finally decided to open up seeing as this man before her knew what happened plus he was the grand father of the stranger she had a one night stand with.

“Are you really his grandfather?” She wanted to be sure

“Of course dear. Also, we abducted you from a pharmacy, what did you go there to do? Wait, did you went to buy contraceptives?” Master Ben asked with a frown now on his face which brought out wrinkles and made him looked horrible.

“Yes, actually I went to buy contraceptives because I don’t want to make the mistake of getting pregnant at such young age. Plus, I don’t have a job that I can feed myself with talk less of a baby. I don’t think it’s a good idea. First of all, I didn’t slept with your son on purpose and only did it because I was drunk and secondly since it’s a terrible mistake I made, I want to correct it before it ruin my life.” Karen said.

She observed the man’s face and his happy mood suddenly changed.

“Please understand miss…..” Master Ben tried to speak but was interrupted by her.

“Why are you so certain that I’ll get pregnant. You don’t have to think that far, don’t worry I won’t get pregnant.”

“Haha, I am certain you will get pregnant.” The butler said to which Karen kept quiet.

Master Ben turned to his butler and said to him, “Why don’t you give her the papers to have a look first, and decide if she’s willing or not!”

“Sure!” The butler brought out a paper from his bag and handed it to her. Karen took the paper and read the content on it.

Karen was still going through the content of the paper when the butler said, "Miss, as long as you give birth to the child, not only will this be a secrets between us, you would also get two million dollars . I suppose you won’t want to loose this great opportunity, do you?”

The content on the paper stated; YOU SHALL GIVE TO THE CHILD AND HAND IT OVER TO ME IN EXCHANGE OF MONEY. IT WILL REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL TO US!”

Karen squeezed the newspaper with hatred and the butler handed her a document and a pen silently.

Karen struggled for a long while as she looked at the document. She finally gritted her teeth and made her decision. "I won’t sign it! Sorry, am not interested in your offer. Moreover I am not pregnant "

The butler was obviously angry when he received the harsh response from her, he turned and glanced at master Ben who gave him sigh to take back the paper and pen.

"Miss, we know what happened that night...was an accident between the both of you, but we can’t ignore the fact that you will get pregnant and made away with our child. So since you need money badly to continue your life, you can just give birth to the child for us, give us in exchange for the money and that will be all. Simple right?” Master Ben said.

“And since we want the child, there’s nothing you can do. Mind you, you had better change up your mind to do according as planned or….” Master Ben hold the butler’s arm which made him to stop.

Lightness instantly dawned on Karen.

Why was she being forced and threatened? How can she convince them that she isn’t pregnant??
