    About this ebook

    Ka was raised to be a Bearer, a surrogate for wealthy parents who don't want to or can't have their own children. Forced to stay silent and devote every moment of every day and every action to creating the perfect environment for growing someone else's child, she'd never questioned her role. Until now.

      I walked in the door, took off my coat, took off my sunglasses, set them down with my keys, took off my shoes and socks, my jeans, my shirt, my bra and underwear, set them all on the chair by the door, walked into the house naked, went to the fridge,

      It’s dark in here but I don’t mind. I wish I had a cushion, though. The floor is hard and I have pulled my knees close to my chest, arms around them, to try to keep warm. It’s a strange place to hide but I find the familiar scents of my family comfor
