Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 64. Pre-Storm
Nikkie's POV"Really? I thought Blake still had at least six months left?" asked Richard in shock.I roll my eyes."This is the problem with rich people! You're so busy with your money that you never check your employees' contracts. How could you possibly care about the plight of people like us?To you, people like us are just people who can be replaced easily.But for us, just being able to keep one good-paying job is hard enough!" I gasped after finishing my sentence. Richard's jaw dropped, not expecting that I would speak so loudly. It was the same with me.I don't even know where the courage came from. To say that about someone like Richard, who had sustained and saved my life and my mother's life.I looked the other way, feeling guilty for venting my frustration on the wrong person. Was Richard's fault that he was born wealthy and didn't have to worry about employment contracts?Silence filled the atmosphere in the room for a few minutes, which felt like an eternity. "I
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 65. Flashback : Aaron's Explanation
Krystal's POV"Stop your foul talk and show me where that bitch is hiding!" I exclaimed angrily. My eyes were scanning around the room, looking for where Nikkie was.I locked the door and changed the password before entering the living room. "Nikkie! Where are you? Come out and meet me now!" I called out loudly.My ears hear the sound of the door handle opening. It was coming from Nikkie's room. I turned around and found that bitch Nikkie coming out of the room with confusion written all over her face.I stood at my waist, snorting sarcastically. My eyes scanned Nikkie from head to toe. My lips were pressed tightly together, trying to contain all the negative emotions I found hard to contain."You're finally out. Sharon! Sit there with Nikkie! And don't try to escape because I've locked the door and changed the password!" I ordered absolutely. Sharon and Nikkie looked at each other and then obeyed my orders. They sat side by side on the sofa with tense looks on their faces.I walked
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 66. Flashback : Pre-Reconciliate
Krystal's POV"What do you mean by change? The way I see it... he's still the same," Aaron said. I glanced at Aaron sharply. Why was there a pause in his sentence? Didn't that mean Aaron wasn't sure of his own words either?I took another swig of the vodka in my hand. The burning sensation as it passed through my throat made me frown. But I couldn't stop. "You're a traitor, Aaron. I can hear the unsure tone in your words. You must have realized something was wrong, but you kept quiet!" I exclaimed in annoyance.Aaron, next to me, looked down deeply. "I don't know. No one knows Richard's heart but Richard himself. All I can see is that Richard is still a man who loves you and would do anything for you.This is the kind of love you can't understand, Krystal. Because you're selfish. Your selfishness keeps you from seeing things that are already on display."I felt annoyed at Aaron's words. Half of me realized that it was the truth and that only added to my frustration."No need to lec
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 67. The Reconciliate
Krystal's POV"So this is why you pay so much attention to Nikkie? Because the baby is yours and Nikkie's child? Since when did you develop feelings for Nikkie? You were even furious when I moved Nikkie out of our house. What did I do wrong? Is it because my body isn't perfect, because my eggs are badly damaged, that you've lost interest in me?" I talked nonstop.We were in one of the meeting rooms in the hotel restaurant. A private room that had a good view and guaranteed privacy.There was plenty of food on the table, but neither of us had the appetite to touch it.Richard had been silent all day. His eyes were only focused on the food on the table, not willing to look at me in the slightest. It felt even stranger, even though we were sitting across from each other like this."Answer me. Didn't you say yourself that you were ready to talk to me?" I asked.There was a long sigh from Richard before he changed his sitting position to a more upright one. Finally, for the first tim
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 68. Nikkie's Braveness
Krystal's POV"Krystal, wait! We're not done talking yet!" exclaimed Richard in the background. I didn't wait a second longer, running straight out of the private room. Richard in the back tried to catch up with me, but I was quicker than him to enter the elevator and get off before he could catch up. When I got downstairs, I immediately sped my car fast ahead of Richard, who had just gotten off the elevator. He looked very panicked and lost his mind."It's useless to chase. Don't you know where Nikkie is?" I said, alone in the car. I drove faster towards Nikkie's apartment, and here I was.In front of Nikkie, who didn't dare lift her head, and Sharon, who looked worried and confused about what to do."I told you about the consequences if you violate the contract, didn't I?" I threatened Nikkie.Nikkie raised her head in a stiff motion, glancing at me with a look that was a mixture of fear and something like courage. I don't know. I think I saw it wrong."Which part of the contract
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 69. Richard Barged In
Nikkie's POV"Stop it, Krystal!" I opened my eyes, recognizing the voice that had just managed to stop Krystal's madness. Yes, it was Richard's voice. How did he get in? Since when was he here? Suddenly, my field of vision was covered by Richard's broad shoulders. Sharon, who hugged me from the side, quickly pulled me away to the dining room."Richard? How did you get in?" Krystal exclaimed in astonishment. Of course, didn't she say she had changed the password? Krystal asked again with unconcealed astonishment. "How did you know about this place?" Richard stared at Krystal with a fierce gaze. His body position was in an alert pose. "That's not as important as how you ran away from our conversation. This is why I always avoid you when you ask me to talk. You always run away before we even get to the bottom of things!" Richard exclaimed in annoyance.This is the first time I've seen Richard upset with Krystal. Usually, no matter how angry, Richard would be patient. There would alw
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 70. The Krystal's Penthouse Man
Krystal's POV"Fucking Richard! Nikkie, damn it! Damn Aaron! How dare all of you conspire to make a fool out of me! Do you think you're so great? Aaaa!" I cursed while driving after leaving Nikkie's apartment.My emotions were out of control, and I took it out on my crazy driving. I deliberately drove all the way out of town, looking for a quiet place where I was free to hit the gas.Driving like crazy during home office hours on city streets is just asking for trouble. Before I've even reached my maximum speed, I have to press the brake pedal again because of traffic. It would only stress me out more!"You're all assholes!" I cursed after getting tired of driving recklessly. I didn't know where I was, only that it was dark all around me.I pulled the car over carelessly in the middle of the road that stretched across the long desert. I lowered my head to the steering wheel, feeling like crying but unable to. My ego kept my tears from falling.The hunger that I hadn't felt for the
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 71. The Terror Has Begun
Nikkie's POV"Why are you always telling me to go back to Krystal? Don't you already know the reason I decided not to be with Krystal anymore?" Richard exclaimed with offense.I just stared at Richard's gray eyes without saying a word.Richard held both my up sleeves, the look in his eyes showing pain and anger mixed. "Tell me something, Nikkie. Why do you want me to go back to Krystal?" Richard demanded again. My head bowed deeply. My hand unconsciously stroked my stomach, which was starting to form curves. "Don't you love Krystal? After all, this child needs a complete set of parents to grow up properly," I said softly. Richard released his grip on my sleeves and then held his forehead while laughing softly."Oh my God, Nikkie. Are you jealous?" Richard asked in the midst of his laughter."I'm not jealous! I'm really thinking about this child," I lied. Yes, I lied. I just wanted to test Richard.Richard took a deep breath after running out of breath from laughing for a while."T
