Baby Makes Five (A Multiple Birth Book 1) Page 20

  Inhaling deeply, she got up and took one last look at her son. She would do anything for him even if it meant selling her soul to the devil in the form of Liam Bradford. Then that’s what she had to do. She had to go to him. No, she was unfair to him he had been nice to her and her family and didn’t have to offer his help.

  She went to the living room where her mother was sitting reading the day’s paper. When she entered, her mum looked up and smiled she had to do this for all of their sakes.

  “Hi honey, want something to eat?”

  Zola nodded no, “Mum I need to ask you a question.”

  “Always sweetie, it sounds serious go ahead you know you could tell me anything.”

  “I know. You were always there for me. You know about the letter Nick brought yesterday about….”

  “Yes, we’ll figure it out, baby.

  “No mum we can’t, not, this time, we don’t have what they have… money. I am thinking about accepting Mr. Bradford’s offer. I just don’t know what he wants in return. What do you think, should I marry him?”

  “Oh baby, I can’t answer that for you. He has all the resources we need to win, but I also want you to be happy. I don’t know what he wants in return maybe nothing you won’t know until you ask him. But I don’t want you to go into something you would regret. There has to be another way.

  “There isn’t Mum, not this time,” she cried.

  “Come here, shh. You seemed to have already made up your mind. I just want you to know that I’m always here for you no matter what you decide.” Her mother said hugging her close.

  Zola nodded; she needed to get this over with. “Okay I am going to the main house could you watch Wyn for me?” she asked dreading the meeting ahead.

  Her mother nodded.

  “Welcome to hell Azolah,” she muttered.
