THE BILLIONAIRE'S SURROGATE: HIS HOUND CHOOSES ME

THE BILLIONAIRE'S SURROGATE: HIS HOUND CHOOSES ME

Ethan Vance, the sole heir to the Vance Empire, had been in a coma for months following an accident that nearly took his life. In order to preserve their bloodline, the Vances had come up with a desperate backup plan: a surrogate who could carry a new heir. But finding a volunteer wasn't the issue. The real problem lay in the chamber itself... the billionaire's monstrous guard dog beside his unconscious body, viciously attacking anyone who dared to step near the bed. Consequently, the Vances sent a ruthless mandate to every prominent family in the state: provide an eligible female candidate who could tame the beast and carry the heir, or face complete financial ruin. My father, eager to please them and rid himself of an unwanted daughter, threw my name straight into the candidate box. But Ken, my boyfriend, was supposed to save me from becoming a surrogate candidate. The plan was simple:“ELENA STEWART, wait for me in your late mother’s old cupboard. I’ll knock, and we’ll be out before anyone notices.” I waited for him with hope, only to find him in my stepsister’s arms...with one shocking revelation: he was the very monster who had submitted my name to the Vances. Worn down by the betrayal, I couldn't fight back. I was dragged away with the expectation that I would be devoured by the beast. Now, my fate is sealed inside the Vance mansion, where a bloodthirsty dog has sent every other woman running in fear—or carried out in a stretcher. But somehow, I'm the only one it chooses. I thought surviving the trial was my happy ending. Until I discovered the secret that could either consume me… or make me

Chapter: CHAPTER 6: SHE WAS THERE!
ETHAN’S POVFor twenty agonizing days, I had been completely awake.The crash that night wasn't an accident. The sudden brake failure, the delivery truck barreling down from the opposite lane, and the professional silence of the men who viciously attacked me right after the collision—it was a hit. Someone inside Vance Enterprises wanted me buried before the corporate fraud ledger could reach the board.So, I gave them exactly what they wanted: a vegetable.I kept my eyes closed. I let the doctors prod my flesh. I let my parents argue over my succession plans at the foot of my bed as if I were already a corpse. I kept Bruno stationed right by my side as my guard. No one dared come close enough to notice that the comatose billionaire's breathing was perfectly steady. Only Dan knew my vitals were entirely stable. I lay there in the dark, using the silence to catalogue every voice, every footstep, and every threat that crossed my threshold.Until she walked in.Her scent cut right through

Chapter: CHAPTER 5: HOW DARE YOU!
My eyes flew open. My breath hitched completely the moment I felt the hound’s massive head press firmly against my open palm. My mouth fell open in utter shock. Hot tears spilled over my eyelashes, blurring my vision. “I... I did it,” I whispered, a breathless laugh breaking through my tears as Bruno affectionately rubbed his thick jowls against my hand. Gaining a sudden burst of confidence, I placed my other hand on his neck, gently scratching behind his ears. The terrifying beast let out a low, content whine and wagged his tail like a puppy. A jagged, disbelieving laugh escaped my lips. I could literally feel the crushing weight of terror lifting from my chest. I had walked into this room expecting to be torn to pieces, and instead, I had survived. “Miss Elena of the Stewart family is now the chosen mistress for the Vance family,” Mr. Sterling Vance announced, his booming voice echoing with absolute disbelief. I glanced toward the unconscious billionaire on the bed. For

Chapter: CHAPTER 4: I DID IT!
She hit the floor hard and was instantly dragged out by security.A sharp gasp escaped my throat, my hands flying to my mouth.The second lady stepped forward, terror written across her pale face. She approached the bed with agonizingly slow, calculated steps.Unexpectedly, the dog curled his massive body and began to wiggle his thick tail, as if he had finally recognized an owner.A proud, victorious smile lit up her face. She snapped her head back toward the rest of us, giving a haughty shrug.But a split second later, a loud, sickening thud echoed through the room.The beast had struck without warning.She passed out instantly from the impact and was carted away.My heart skipped a violent beat.I thought a wagging tail meant a dog liked you. How could he attack her right after wiggling his tail? How incredibly cunning was this beast?The third lady stumbled forward, shaking uncontrollably, with tears already spilling down her cheeks.“I don’t want to die,” she whimpered.Her legs

Chapter: CHAPTER 3: BRUNO
“Strong bone density. Checked.” “Firm muscle tone, untouched and highly fertile. Checked.” She approved every single metric on the list, officially logging my name into the system as a successful prime candidate. Reaching over, she pressed a glossy red button mounted on the wall. Less than a minute later, a pair of maids entered the room to usher me out. They led me down a grand hallway that dwarfed my father's house ten times over. Eventually, the maids halted outside a set of towering golden double doors, flanked by three heavily armed elite guards. After a brief, quiet exchange between the maids and the security detail, one of the guards stepped forward and knocked three times in a distinct, rhythmic pattern. The heavy doors unlocked and swung inward on automated hinges. I was gently nudged inside. The sheer scale of the room took my breath away. In the center sat a massive, opulent bed draped in pure white silk—easily five times the size of my bed at home. The air

Chapter: CHAPTER 2: THE VANCE'S MANSION
In my panic, my grip slipped. My bag fell flat against the floor. My mother's glass necklace inside hit the hardwood with a loud, chattering echo that shattered the quiet hallway.Inside the room, the laughter died instantly. Both of their heads snapped toward the door.“Elena?!” Cleo gasped.But she didn’t pull away from him. A vicious, triumphant smirk spread across her face, and right before my eyes, she deliberately shifted closer to Ken. She threw her bare leg over his torso, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. It was the look of a predator marking its territory, mocking the prey that had nothing left to lose.And Ken? He didn't push her away. He didn't even look startled. He just stared out at me through the gap in the door, his eyes cold, dead, and utterly indifferent.I searched his face, my heart hammering against my ribs, desperately praying to find a sign. Anything. A flicker of guilt, a trace of panic, a hint that he was being forced or drugged. But there was nothi

Chapter: CHAPTER 1: THE BETRAYAL
ELENA'S POV Twenty minutes. That was all the time I had left before the Vance family's convoy arrived to take me away, and Ken was still not here. Inside my head, his parting whisper played over and over on an agonizing loop. “Wait for me inside your mother's old cupboard in the courtyard. I'll knock before the first cock crows in the morning, and we'll be gone before anyone notices.” I trusted him. I had to.So, even though it was nearly six in the morning and the second cock had already crowed, I stayed put. Ken hadn't knocked. My heart raced, but I forced myself to breathe. He will come. He has to.I sat hunched on the damp, splintered floor of my late mother's old wardrobe, clutching the only things I owned in this world: three faded outfits, the glass necklace she had left me before she died, and every single coin I'd managed to save from working under the blistering sun on local farms. I had packed everything into a small canvas bag, tucking it tightly between my feet as

I've already told them that their dad has been long dead and buried even before they were born." "Then correct it!...tell them that I'm their father, they deserve to know!" My smile darkened.

Chapter: CHAPTER 17: THE MEETING II
ELENA'S POVThe atmosphere stiffened around me."No, I'm seeing this wrong... It can't be him!" I muttered, trying to convince myself that it wasn't him. But the moment he walked toward me, my breath froze.Well-defined cheekbones, broad chest, dark curly hair...It's him!I took a step back. My pulse hammered in my throat as questions crashed into each other."Ma'am, are you all right?" the hostess asked after noticing my hesitation and restlessness.I turned, my eyes burning.My mistake was coming here alone. I should have allowed Cleo to tag along. At least she knew what to do at times like this... unlike this stupid question.I slowly looked away from her and returned my gaze to the center of attention."Welcome, Mrs. Adams E. We formally welcome you to LA," his voice boomed as he gave a slight bow.My heart skipped a beat.My legs shook for no reason. I staggered backward, and before I could blink, my foot slipped.I found myself falling down the stairs toward the ground."Mrs. A

Chapter: CHAPTER 16: THE MEETING.
ETHAN'S POVThe morning sun rays from the glass hit my eyes, causing me to jolt awake.My eyes opened slightly. No matter how hard I tried, they didn't open fully. I slowly reached out for my phone and used it as my mirror.My breath froze when I saw how swollen my eyes were... but I wouldn't blame them. I slept with tears in my eyes and liquor on my hands.I pushed my phone out and slowly gazed at the floor.My head spun the moment I saw the countless numbers of liquor bottles on the floor. Never in my lifetime had I drunk this much."One, two, three, four, five, fifteen..." I lost count and instantly gave up. I slowly reached for the newly opened one. I didn't bother reaching for a glass before pouring its contents into my mouth.My jaw tightened at the slap it came with... Is it just the wine's slap or the sting that's piercing my heart?Elena is gone. Why's she still after me? Maybe it's payback, considering the fact that I didn't treat her with kindness while she was here... but

"And the shares?" I spun around, my hands mid-air with my glass slightly raised."They remain yours," Cleo replied with a proud smile.Mrs. Adams stared, with a hint of confusion and something like admiration in her eyes.I needed no one to tell me that her head would probably be filled with questions already.Just as expected, she voiced it out."What's happening?" she asked with genuine confusion and curiosity."Well, this is what I meant by killing two birds with one stone." I giggled, but her eyes still held confusion.I released a deep sigh, that one you draw when someone refuses to get your point. Slowly, her wrinkled eyes grew bigger and bigger, as if she was recollecting data and reconnecting them together."You're a badass! You paid her a billion for the shares in her possession, and she was fined a billion dollars for violating the marriage law. The money was paid to your account, and in the end, you now own the shares and the money!?" She rapped through her breath.I nodded

Chapter: CHAPTER 14: THE WEDDING SURPRISE II
EMMA'S POVMy hands shook against my mouth. My legs gave way the moment I heard those words."Emma Armstrong, you are hereby ordered to pay a billion dollars in compensation for the damages caused by your actions. Failure to do so may result in a prison sentence."The next second, everything went blank. I found myself falling into darkness, and the last words I heard were the exclamation, "Someone has fainted!"By the time I opened my eyelids again, I was no longer in the midst of the crowd. Instead, I was seated inside a car.I tilted my head sideways and looked up, only to find Mom staring intensely outside the window. On the other side was Dad, looking somehow exhausted.My gaze slowly went down to my dress. I was still in my wedding dress, with my flowers still intact in my hands.Was it a dream?"Mom..." My voice came out low, so low that I could barely hear myself."I had a crazy dream that my wedding with Ethan got interrupted by Avon, the marriage law prosecutor... He said I w

Chapter: CHAPTER 13: THE WEDDING SURPRISE
Emma's composure shattered like glass against a hard floor the moment she heard the question."Wh... wh... what do you mean?" she quivered, her once perfect voice now lowered like a muffled baby's voice."You said she's dead, right?" Avon questioned firmly.She gave a curt nod like someone trying to deny an allegation after being caught red-handed."She died while trying to escape with Ethan's money. Everyone knows," she let out a dry and nervous laugh."Lies!" One of the reporters stepped forward with his mic stretched toward Emma's mouth. "We know nothing about it. She was only declared dead without us seeing her corpse.""Yes," another stepped forward."How did you know she died?"Another emerged."How did you know she wanted to escape with Mr. Ethan's money?"In less than a blink of an eye, reporters cornered her, throwing questions at her.Tiny beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she stared from one face to another.When Cleo suggested I pay reporters to instigate the plan,

Chapter: CHAPTER 12: CORNERED
A sharp gasp erupted from the hall.Heads snapped. Eyes widened as they stared in the direction where the voice came from."Pam, pam, ram." My voice blew the entering trumpet because it really needed to."This wedding cannot take place," the voice stated again, but this time it came with the face that held it.Cameras turned.Eyes wrinkled into frowns the moment they faced the person behind the voice as he stepped forward into the hall fully.Murmurs began."Isn't that Prosecutor Avon, the highest law...?""What is he doing here?""Could it be that this marriage is against the law?"The camera left Avon and landed on Emma's face.Her face was all flushed out with something like fear and confusion.Without anyone telling me what's on her mind, I already knew she must be asking, "What's happening?"A smug smile appeared at the corner of my lips.Five years. It took me five good years to come up with this plan.Let's see how it goes.Avon walked slowly to the almost newlyweds, each step
