The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret His toxicity
VANESSA'S POV I had no idea I was squeezing the phone in my hand until a warm hand circled around mine and I lifted my head up to meet Rodri's face, which had concern plastered all over it. "Are you alright, Vanessa?" He quickly asked, as he propped himself on top of the pavement, staring at me. "Yes, I'm fine," I hastily responded, withdrawing my hand from his, while I used the other hand to tuck the phone back into the bag. "Are you?" I asked instead, attempting to shift the conversation away from myself. I didn't feel good about lying to him but I couldn't also tell him what was actually going on. The look on his face was screaming doubt but he didn't probe and I silently thanked him. "Yes, yes," he finally said, leaning forward to grab hold of my hand again. "Everything is fine, mama," He added with relief all over his face. "Everything is fine." I placed my second hand on his and gave him a light squeeze. There was no doubt that there was a lot going on for me with the
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret Something you should know
RODRI'S POV The moment I pulled into the driveway and switched off the ignition, Vanessa reached for the seatbelt and unclasped it, swinging it off her body in quite a haste. Removing the seatbelt and helping her out of the car was my job but it seemed like she had no need for my services at the moment. My eyes followed her movements in surprise as she propped open the car door a few seconds after she had rid herself of the seatbelt and carefully placed one foot out. She swung her bag over her shoulder as she attempted to move out of the car's confinements all by herself. "Let me help you." I called out gently as I hurriedly opened my side of the car and jogged around to her own side of it. "Why are you doing this all by yourself when I'm here?" I asked with confusion masking my face as I made to help her but retracted my hand when she gently shrugged it off. "It's fine, Rodri," Vanessa answered firmly, balancing both feet on the ground as she finally but carefully got out o
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret Save my energy
TRINITY'S POV Reaching out to Michael Sterling was most definitely important but taking a long bath was also a necessity. With one swipe upwards, I tapped on the Do not disturb icon and tossed the phone on the bed. Samira was due to arrive with news but I needed a clearer head to process it. A deep sigh of relief escaped through my lips as I sank into the bathtub, elated that I had gone through the trouble to run myself a bubble bath. My appearance had always been topmost priority for me but with everything that had been going on with the pregnancy and Rodri, the last thing I had cared about was my body. Sweet alluring scent of lavender of filled the bathroom as I picked up the beauty soap—that had come recommended by Vanessa's beautician through Samira—and applied it on a soft sponge till it formed a lather. Another sigh of pure content left my lips as the sponge touched my delicate skin. Usually, I had my bubble baths whenever I had an appointment with Rodri and doing it now
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret Something’s fishy
VANESSA'S POV Rodri's questions echoed in my head as Samira handed me my drugs and I felt guilty for not answering him. The ride home last night had been chaotic for me, my mind kept on drifting back to the conversation I had with my miserable father. For some reason, I couldn't shake off the feeling that someone close to me had given him my number. Mum was completely out of the question since I knew she would do anything to protect me from him. She had talked about his threats and how he had tried to get her to give my location up but she had firmly stood her ground. I was a hundred percent certain she had not aided him, then who had? Well, the calls had stopped after I had turned my phone off in the car and then back on after bathing and having breakfast. Knowing my father very well, I knew it was just a matter of time before he started calling again but this time around, I was ready to block his number once again. The last thing I needed was someone stirring up the pot I w
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret Unborn bastard
TRINITY'S POV "Hello, who's this?" A gruff male voice poured out the speaker as I tapped on the loud speaker icon and placed the phone on my thigh. The voice sounded oddly familiar but I wasn't about to conclude it was who I was looking for without asking the proper questions. "It doesn't matter who I am," I answered monotonously, making sure my voice was as clear as it was firm. "What matters is what I have for you and if you're the right person to receive this priceless information." I could almost see the look of confusion on his face. There was silence for a few seconds, before he responded in a more firmer voice than I had used. "What kind of information could you possibly have for me?" The question was laced with a hint of amusement but oddly, I wasn't upset by it but rather intrigued. Compared to Vanessa, this man was bold and smart. I knew I had to poke his balloon a little bit to get his attention. "Something that would prove to be quite useful for you, Mr Sterling."
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret Her monstrous father
RODRI'S POV It was undeniable that her statement had caught me completely off guard but I quickly chided myself and tried to regain my composure as I ushered her to the seat directly opposite mine. It was very strange that she had approached my office by this time of the day, it was something she had never done before. For as long as I could remember, the helpers I had hired for Vanessa had stayed away from me except when they had important things to discuss with me. Something felt odd about her countenance but instead of wasting time guessing what it could be, I decided to just up and make enquiries. "Is anything the matter, Samira?" I asked calmly, the moment she sat carefully on the chair. Her eyes were lowered and oddly shielded by her not so long lashes and it made me wonder if she was scared of something or if she was just being cautious. "Is something wrong with Vanessa or the baby?" Fear started to seep through my veins as her eyes flew upwards to meet mine in a hast
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret For the worst
VANESSA'S POV Rays of sunlight peeked through the curtain, flashing directly on my face as my eyes involuntarily fluttered open. It took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust to the morning light as I rubbed gently on my eyes, trying to clear my vision while I carefully stretched my sore limbs. Almost as soon as I could make out most of the room, my eyes drifted to the clock on the dressing table and I almost jumped out of the bed when I realized it was almost 10am. It felt odd that I had been allowed to sleep in till this time but with how yesterday went for me, I felt Samira had intentionally given me more resting time. Thinking about Samira, I surveyed the bed in search of my phone and was surprised when I saw it on the dressing table, next to the alarm clock. I wasn't sure how it had gotten there because I was certain I had left it next to my pillow before drifting into a tired sleep. How had it then gotten to the table? My mind jolted back to the conversation I had had with
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret Anything for her
RODRI'S POV "Is there something you're not telling me, Vanessa?" I asked in a clear voice as my eyes brushed over her tired face. It was alarming to me that she was looking this tired after I had informed her helpers to let her sleep for as long as she wanted. Concern was clearly written on her face and I could see a hint of apprehension. Vanessa blinked thrice as she lowered her face before bringing her eyes back to rest on mine. "Why do you say so, Rodri?" She squeaked at me, causing me to raise an eyebrow in suspicion. Well, there was the fact that she was just waking up from sleep—her face screamed so—but there was something about her pitch, as if she had been crying. "You seem off, Nessa. Hell, you've been off since yesterday," I confessed, urging her with my eyes to confide in me. "Tell me if something is going on and we'll solve it together. I promise." I got up from the table and moved towards the bed, settling in just next to her. My hands circled around her hand as bi
