The Surrogate Search : Reunited With My Cruel Ex
“Say my name,” Damian hissed, his face inches from Hazel’s.
“Damian…” Hazel breathed.
Her face was flushed, her eyes hazy with desire. Damian swallowed hard, his fingers gently caressing her stomach before slowly moving lower, slipping beneath the fabric covering her. Hazel was already trembling beneath his touch.
“What do you want, Hazel? Tell me,” Damian demanded, his movements growing more insistent.
Hazel jolted, her breathing becoming increasingly ragged.
“You! I want you!” Hazel answered breathlessly.
Damian let out a low growl.
Her desire was exactly what he had been waiting for over the past three years.
And Damian swore he would never stop touching this woman—not even if Hazel begged him to.
***
She was cast aside after being accused of cheating. Now, she has to carry the child of the man who destroyed her life.
Damian Montoya’s grand wedding plans collapse overnight when he finds Hazel in another man’s bed. Without giving her a chance to explain, Damian casts her out.
Heartbroken, Hazel walks away carrying a secret pregnancy, a shattered heart, and a new identity: Hazel Donovan.
Three years later, the fate they thought had been severed binds them together again through a Surrogacy Contract.
Anonymity brings Hazel back into Damian’s arms—not as the woman he once planned to marry, but as a despised and humiliated baby-making machine. Damian is determined to make her pay, never realizing that Hazel was the victim of a cruel conspiracy orchestrated by his own family.
But when the truth shatters Damian’s pride and regret begins tearing his heart apart, only one question remains:
Can years of pain truly be erased with a single apology?

Chapter: Da-Ha 39“That’s your conclusion, sir,” Isaac replied calmly, prompting Damian to regard him with a sharp, narrowed gaze. “Mrs. Luciana may not know Miss Hazel Donovan’s true identity, just as we lost track of Miss Hazel Sinclair all those years ago. However, she did indirectly orchestrate the circumstances that ultimately drove Miss Donovan to take this path.“Miss Donovan needed money, and she had been forced out of her home. In the end, the only option left to her was to accept an offer that was guaranteed and right in front of her: becoming a surrogate.”Damian fell silent, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of everything. His grandmother was certainly capable of taking drastic measures when she wanted something, but he had never imagined the old woman would go so far as to manipulate someone’s fate and entire life.“The apple never falls far from the tree,” Isaac murmured, as though he could read the turmoil in his employer’s mind.“What do you mean by that?” Damian asked coldly.“

Chapter: Da-Ha 38Isaac placed a thick brown folder in front of Damian, then stood upright with his usual polite, professional demeanor.“The report you requested, sir,” Isaac said in his formal work mode. “For now, we’ve only managed to obtain information about Miss Hazel Donovan’s life over the past three years—or, more precisely, since she officially applied to change her name.”Damian glanced at the brown folder, his gaze sharp. He felt a powerful urge to open it, yet something deep inside him was reluctant, almost afraid, to confront the bitter truth contained in its pages.Seeing that Damian still hadn’t touched the documents, Isaac finally spoke.“After being dismissed from Montoya Capital under disgraceful circumstances, Miss Hazel Sinclair applied for positions at more than a dozen companies.”Isaac proceeded to list several well-known corporations, along with a number of mid-sized companies Hazel had approached.Three years of work experience at Montoya Capital, including her internship, shou

Chapter: Da-Ha 37“Consider it a trial run. I just wanted to see whether our bodies still respond to each other,” Damian said with a provocative, mocking smile.Hazel glared at him for several seconds. Summoning what little dignity she had left, she turned her face away and straightened her slightly rumpled dress.“If you do that again before we sign the contract and establish an official medical schedule, I will consider this agreement unilaterally terminated,” Hazel cut in icily.Without waiting for his response, she flung open the study door and slammed it shut so hard that the sound echoed throughout the corridor.From a corner of the hallway not far away, Luciana broke into a wide grin.“Something hot must have just happened in there,” she whispered to Mischa.The two women hadn’t had time to move far when the study door suddenly closed again a few minutes earlier. Fortunately, they were concealed behind a large pillar, sparing Hazel the embarrassment of running into them immediately after leaving

Chapter: Da-Ha 36“Don’t bother denying it. I’ve already had a DNA test done, and he is indeed my biological son,” Damian cut in quickly before Hazel could object.“I have no intention of denying or concealing that fact,” Hazel replied calmly. She certainly hadn’t expected Damian to go so far in search of the truth, but she had anticipated this possibility.“He is your biological son, but you have never been part of his life. And that will remain the case in the future.” Hazel firmly closed off every loophole the man might try to exploit.“So, there’s no need to threaten me with a custody lawsuit. I’m confident the court would rule in my favor as his biological mother rather than yours,” Hazel challenged with unwavering resolve.Yet beneath her steady gaze, her heart trembled violently at the thought of Damian using his power and wealth to take Adrian away from her.Damian was taken aback. He knew Hazel was intelligent, but he hadn’t expected her to turn the tables so calmly and strategically.“Fine...

Chapter: Da-Ha 35Hazel fell silent. The truth is, Adrian’s father and the father of the child I’m going to carry are the same man.But those words remained trapped inside her mind. Hazel had no intention of telling Cassandra that Adrian’s biological father was Damian Montoya. The strict conditions she planned to impose would serve as a barrier, ensuring that Damian would never again touch them or interfere in their lives.“No. And Adrian doesn’t need to know that child ever existed. Once my contract with Mrs. Lancaster is fulfilled, we’ll go as far away from here as possible. Maybe overseas... somewhere we’ll never cross paths with them again,” Hazel said, forcing a resolute smile onto her face.The laboratory results arrived a few days later, and a single red line confirmed the bitter truth: negative. Hazel’s first IVF procedure had failed completely.The news struck Hazel like a block of ice. It meant she would have to face the worst possible outcome under the contract she had signed with Luciana—co

Chapter: Da-Ha 34Damian studied his grandmother, waiting to hear the conditions Luciana intended to impose.Luciana straightened in her seat and met her only grandson’s gaze without hesitation. “If you want to use the conventional method, there are four non-negotiable conditions you must agree to, Damian.”Damian gave a brief nod. “Go ahead.”“First, the conventional method will only proceed if Hazel agrees to it. Everything about how it happens, the process itself, and the timing will be entirely up to Hazel. You are not allowed to force or intimidate her in any way,” Luciana stated firmly.Damian regarded his grandmother impassively, making no attempt to object.“Second, if Hazel imposes any specific conditions on you as part of your agreement, you must accept them without complaint.”Damian’s brows drew together, but he remained silent and continued listening.“Third,” Luciana continued, “you have no right to dictate where Hazel must live. If anyone has to make a concession and move elsewhere for t
