Vanessa's POVI paused in shock, wondering if I heard Trinity right. Did she just threaten me? I was speechless, as she continued,“No attachments, remember? So don’t let any of this go to your head. First, it was the chairman showering you with gifts, now you’re going out to important places with your employer? That is not part of our deal, Vanessa. Yes, I told you to act like a real surrogate, but you are overdoing it this time.”I muttered, “Trinity, I—”“Let me finish, Vanessa.” She did not let me speak. “You still have quite a lot of debts to pay, which you won’t be completely rid off until the end of your contract. Now imagine what would happen if for some reason, your secret leaks. The chairman finds out. Rodri finds out. What do you think will happen to you?”My heart dropped farther down my stomach the more she spoke, painting my downfall in a spin of elegant words.“You will go to jail, Vanessa. For quite a number of things, and then what do you think will happen to your mot

Vanessa's POVWhatever I had been planning to say to Rodri out of my panic and fear for Trinity, he had fucked it out of my mind. Right now, I was in the gym with Lora, my fitness trainer, going through some Pilates reps. I let out a breath, and inhaled again, rhythmically as she instructed.“That’s great, Miss Sterling. Nice job.” She praised, moving backwards to grab me a bottle of cool water from the gym refrigerator lining the wall. I sat back on the workout mat, and let out a big sigh. When she returned and handed me the water, I gulped it down and thanked her, wiping my mouth.“How is your child?” I asked, remembering when her kids had suddenly fallen sick during an appointment I had with her.She gave me a kind smile, brushing her ponytail back. “I’m glad everything is okay now. Thank you for asking, Miss Sterling.” She said and extended her hand to me.I took it and straightened up from the mat, stretching my legs and arms. They felt sore, in a good type of way, since doing s

Rodri's POVSurprise. Then Pleasure. And Satisfaction.I felt all of those as I opened my door expecting to see some random worker or security guard there, but it was the least person I expected to come all the way to my room. It was Vanessa. Her brown hair was pulled into that messy ponytail she always put her hair in whenever she had a gym appointment with her fitness trainer.A deep red bra top hugged her breasts into a voluptuous cleavage, and black gym tights encased her hips and legs. It always fucking blew my mind how she was this beautiful, and I had barely even noticed when we first met.Her blue eyes were wide, struggling to stay on my face, but they kept straying down to my body. It filled me up with possessive male satisfaction. To see that I was not the only one who could not take my eyes off of the other person.I found myself smiling, seeing her here all by herself, after she tried to keep me at a distance after the sex this morning.“Didn’t get enough in the bathroom?”

RODRI'S POV I took Vanessa's hand in mine as we walked out of the hospital lobby , glancing at her I caught her looking at the nurse that served as the receptionist I don't know what but the two looked like they were about to pounce on each other at anytime. I silently chuckled at their childish behaviour before I placed my arm around her waist as we stepped out of the building, we ignored all the eyes that were staring at us and just walked over to the car. I held out the door for her as the gentleman that I am before going to the other side of the car and getting into the driver's seat. "Thank you." Vanessa said with flushed cheeks as I got into the car I smiled at her in response before turning on the ignition and soon enough we were leaving the hospital and heading towards the villa to see my Mom. We soon arrived at the villa and drove to the clinic where my Mom was hospitalized . " Damm , I didn't bring any book." Vanessa said, smacking her forehead with her palm. "It's f

Vanessa's POV I was overjoyed by the news about Rodri's Mom, she was showing signs of improvement already, the best part was watching Rodri hold her hand so dearly.Rodri and I left Estelle at the hospital briefly to see his mom, since her boyfriend Brandon was already stable. The plan was that we would go back to them after seeing Mrs. Darnell, but I guess it could wait.My phone went off ringing, so I quickly picked it up, it was Estelle.She sounded like one who was about to cry when she told me about her boyfriend waking up but having complications which led to another surgery, I couldn't believe my ears .Rodri kept staring at me and I could imagine that his dad was doing the same, I hung up to break the news to Rodri whom I was sure was full of questions already."It's Estelle, her boyfriend wolke up, but had complications which led to him having another surgery." I could feel my voice shaking as I spoke." I'll take you there, go wait for me in the lambo." said Rodri.I walk
