Born from a middle-class family and struggling to care for her sick mother after they were abandoned by her father, Christiana has always dreamt of living a comfortable life one day. And to think her already miserable life won’t get even worse, she woke up one day only to see herself in an unfamiliar room and tied up to a bed naked. Then the shocking news was dropped to her; her father has sold her off as a surrogate to Damien Fernandez, a ruthless billionaire who was the total opposite of the image he portrays to the world. And to make it worse, He told her to her face that he can never love her! Now Christiana has a new goal and that is to get away from Damien at all costs, who on the other hand, wasn’t ready to let her go anytime soon. But then, a new offer arrived; a new man who might be the Romeo Christiana has been praying for; “Christiana, if you come with me, I will help you get all the riches and happiness you want and deserve. I will make you the happiest woman in the world and I will keep you far away from that monster” It was an enticing offer, one that Christiana wouldn’t miss for anything… but there were two problems: Her rescuer was an enemy of Damien and secondly, Christiana had just realized; Damien might not be the monster she thinks he is.

Christiana slowly opened her eyes but quickly shut them back up as a splitting headache ran through her head. She immediately let out a groan. Not only was her head hurting but her whole body was literally on fire.And to add to the pain she was feeling, her eyes quickly snapped open when a sudden realization drew to her;Wait a minute;This wasn't her room!Christiana tried to jerk up but was held back by something and it was at that moment her eyes widened even more.One, she was on lying on a king-sized bed, completely naked!Secondly, her hands were tied to the fucking bed and there were scattered rose petals used to decorate the bed. And did I add the fact that looking down, Christiana could vividly see the traces of love hickeys all over her body?"What the... "What was she doing here? Why is she naked in an unfamiliar room?These questions kept ringing in Christiana's mind and her brain didn't hesitate to give her the answers.She slowly started to remember what happened.She could remember she was on her way to get her sick mother's monthly medication when a car pulled up before her and she was dragged in by two hefty men.The next thing she could remember was this:She was taken to a room and gently tied to the bed. Moments later, a figure walked in but Christiana could easily dictate it was a man. She wasn't able to see the man's face clearly, probably because of the effect of the drug she was given.The man climb up to the bed and just one kiss from him was enough to melt Christiana under him and turn off her senses of reasoning. And the next thing she could remember, was the man making sweet love to her, more like rough, hard sex.But Christiana couldn't deny she was enjoying what this man was doing to her. She was moaning his name loudly and begging for him not to stop.By the time she was done remembering everything, Christiana's eyes widened in horror and a scream left her lips.Did she just get kidnapped and had a one-night stand with her kidnapper?!If she had spent the night at her kidnapper's place, then who was taking care of her sick mother?The innocent woman must be sick and worried about her. She needed to get home immediately!Christiana started struggling to break from the chain that was used to tie her hands but it was impossible. She pulled and tried to yank the chain off but who was she kidding?While she was still struggling, the door opened and two women walked in. Christiana looked up and judging from what the two ladies were putting on, she could easily tell they were maids."Hey, you two! Get me out of this fucking chain! I need to go home! ""Please calm down, young Mistress. You're going to hurt yourself " The two women rushed to Christiana and unlocked the chain."Good morning, young Mistress. We're here to help you take your bath. We already prepared the hot bath for you " The two women immediately bowed.Christiana was confused. Why are these women referring her as Mistress?"Excuse me, who are you two and where am I? ""We are your personal maid, young Mistress ""Personal maid? " Christiana wondered to herself and so she decided to ask."Why are you two here? ""Young Master sent us to bathe you and get you ready. He's waiting for you downstairs " The maids bowed politely.To their surprise, Christiana busted into a crazy laugh."No offense but... I think there's a misunderstanding here. My name is Christiana; Christiana Crownway and right now... I need to get back home ""So if you won't mind giving me something to wear. I can't leave like this " Christiana pointed to her naked self."We're sorry, Young Mistress but we can't help you with that. We're here to bathe you so please come with us. Young Master won't be happy waiting for you for a long time ""Who is this so-called young Master? " Christiana wondered. From the way the maids were mentioning his name with so much respect, she could tell this so-called Young Master must be really powerful and maybe...He was her kidnapper!Christiana quickly changed her mind. She decided to play along with the maids so she can see the stupid man who dared to kidnap her.The maid led Christiana to the gigantic bathroom that was times ten of her bathroom at home. The hot bath was a really suiting one, one that helped relax Christiana tensed body. For once she almost forgot she was kidnapped.Christiana wanted to ask the maids why they stood and watch her take her bath but decided not to.Soon, she was done and another set of maids entered the room. They helped her with a beautiful blue sunflower dress and her brown wavy hair was well combed and styled.By the time they were done, Christiana was wowed. Her skin has never glowed this much. She was looking splendid!Of course, Christiana knew she was beautiful but today, she was looking even more pretty.Christiana was gracefully led downstairs to the dining hall. Her eyes wandered in curiosity, her mind wondering about literally everything she set her eyes on. But most especially, she was looking for her kidnapper.From how Christiana pictured him, her kidnapped must be handsome and quite young for them to have such a steamy night.But what Christiana eyes landed on made her jaw almost drop to the ground."Young Master, she's here just like you requested " The maids bowed and they were both immediately excused, leaving only Christiana and the unknown man seated in the dining.Christiana didn't know whether it was the man's medium-length hair that was tied back in a small bun or his beautiful and deep grey eyes or his jawline that was strong enough to break anything but...This man was fucking gorgeous!If this was the man she had a one-night stand with... then Christiana definitely doesn't regret it. He was totally worth it!The hot rough sex they had last night flashed through Christiana mind and her cheeks turned red.But wait a minute...Did Christiana just forget?This man was the one who kidnapped her! How can she be admiring the same man who dared to kidnap and take advantage of her?But damn! Who was she kidding? This man was too beautiful to be her kidnapper."Are you done? " The man's thick voice snapped Christiana out of her fantasies."Huh? ""If you're done staring.... ""Close your fucking mouth, Christiana...Christiana's pupil dilated a bit in surprise and her face turned red in embarrassment.But it didn't take long for her to regain her composure and remember what she came downstairs to do."Excuse me, who are you? Where am I? What am I doing here and how do you know my name? "So many questions were thrown at Damien whose brows folded in a deep frown. He wasn't the type who liked being questioned. Deciding to ignore that, Damien headed straight to the point.He glanced at the guy who was seated at the other side of the dining and who was his assistant, Jeremy.Jeremy didn't need anyone to tell him what Damien wanted him to do. He dipped his hand in his suitcase, brought out a document, and handed it over to Christiana without saying a word."You can go through that and it will give you all the answers to your question "Christiana gave Damien a suspicious glare before reluctantly looking at the document. She scanned through, reading each word and paragraph carefully, and by the time she got to the middle part of the document, her slightly big eyes protruded in horror and she immediately glared at Damien, who didn't even spare her a glance but was busy with his food."What is the meaning of this? " Christiana's anger flared up."What nonsense is this?! ""Jeremy... " Just one call from Damien and Jeremy bowed slightly before standing up."The document is clear and simple, Miss Christiana. But I will break it down for you more ""You see, what you're holding is a contract that has been signed legally by your father, stating that you now belong to Mr. Fernandez. It's a one year contract and in that one year, you are going to do what your job is..."And that is to bear Mr. Fernandez a child...an heir to be precise. You will fulfill your responsibility as a SURROGATE MOTHER...🌼 CHAPTER THIRTEEN 🌼"Get on your knees and strip!... ""Mr. Fernandez... I... ""Get on your fucking knees... Christiana! "Christiana flinched and slowly, she knelt. She didn't dare to ask Damien why he wanted her to kneel. There was no point trying to act ignorant. It's obvious he already found out everything."Now take off your clothes "Christiana's eyes widened a bit and she looked up at Damien whose eyes were literally in flames."Mr. Fernandez I'm sorry. I didn't mean to enter your... ""Take... off your clothes! " Damien gritted and Christiana looked down in shame. With her hands shaking, she zips down her gown and let it fall to the ground, leaving her in only her pant and bra. She wrapped her hands around her chest in an attempt to cover herself."Take everything off, Christiana.... everything.... "Tears flooded Christiana's eyes as she obeyed Damien without a word. Soon, she was now naked, completely."Good. Now get up and go stand right under there " Christia
🌼 CHAPTER TWELVE 🌼It was another boring Monday for Christiana. Ever since she and Damien signed the marriage license, she hasn’t seen him anywhere close to the mansion talk more about inside it.She couldn’t help but wonder where he was. Did he travel or something? Or is he extra busy with some work? Probably the latter.Everything was going… Let’s say, fine. Well, except for one thing.Christiana herself. Due to how bored she was, Christiana wanted to try out something fun or maybe crazy. She wanted to sneak into Damien’s room again so she can finish reading that novel.She was also planning on doing something very stupid, to get on Damien’s nerves on purpose. Hey, don’t judge her!This mansion is so boring, she needed something to spice it up. Today was the perfect day to execute what she had been planning for days. Since Damien wasn’t home, his room would obviously be locked.But that wasn’t a setback for Christiana. Not when she has Zendaya to help her. Zendaya to
🌼 CHAPTER ELEVEN CONTINUED 🌼"What have you been doing? " Arianna's voice was laced with so much coldness, it can send shivers down anyone who heard it. The way her eyes were darkened and empty, void of emotion, can make even a grown man pee on himself. Mr. Kennedy adjusted uncomfortably on his chair and let out a nervous chuckle."Nothing, my dear. The thing is I've been so busy that I wasn't in the position to answer or reply to any calls that were outside my work..."My calls are not just any calls! " Arianna slammed her palm on the table making her father flinch."You're supposed to... suspend everything that you were doing to honor my calls " She muttered amidst gritting teeth."I'm so sorry, Princess. It wasn't... ""Quit calling me Princess! " Arianna breathed angrily.She walked up to her father's chair, twirled it to face her fully, and leaning closer, she placed her finger on the tip of his jaw, tilting his head to stare her dead in the eye."I've been disgraced and em
🏵 CHAPTER ELEVEN🏵Damien left his office after handling the last file for the day. It turned out after he and Christiana signed the marriage licence, he sent her back home and headed to his office.By the time he arrived home, it was already midnight. Everyone was fast asleep including Christiana. The only people awake were the guards who were working their night shifts. But one more person was awake; Ma’am Theresa.“You’re awake?” The old woman entered Damien’s room.Ma’am Theresa and two other people; Jeremy and Mr. Hefty, were the only ones who were permitted to enter Damien’s room.It turned out Damien was done taking a refreshing bath and was now in his night robe. He was sitting at his reading table that was located at the balcony, outside his room. It was what one can call, peaceful scenery, with the moon shining brightly and the stars decorating the beautiful night sky. The calmness and quietness was accompanied by a cold, calm and chilly wind.This plac
🌼 CHAPTER TEN 🌼Christiana slowly turned with her legs and hands trembling, only to see Damien standing before her, his brows pinched in anger. He had a towel wrapped around his thin waist and his hair was still drippy wet indicating he just got out of the shower."What the fuck are you doing here? " He demanded. Christiana went stiff and the book she was holding fell off her hand. Damien saw the book and his face squeezed up in an ugly scowl."I warned you, Christiana. I told you, you would get caught but you refused to heed my warning ""Well, the initial plan was to take a peek and leave. But then your stupid self went ahead and started reading a novel. I definitely don't have a hand in this " Yep, that was Christiana's two sides of mind talking to her."Will you two shut up and help me out here?! " "I warned you. Sorry, I can't help you. I'm out ""Yep, me too. This definitely has nothing to do with me so... Yeah. I will be waiting for you outside... If you can make ou
🌼 CHAPTER NINE 🌼The ride home was even worse. Christiana wouldn't stop playing with and fondling her fingers. She stylishly glanced at Damien and looked away almost immediately. This she kept doing all through the ride, hoping that Damien would finally say a word. His silence and the speed at which he was driving was making Christiana nervous and nauseous.What was going on in this man's mind?Ok... She knew she fucked up but will he say something already?The car halted when they finally got home and Christiana didn't need anybody to tell her to get out of the car. Just one glare from Damien was enough to make her understand. Christiana refused to move. She didn't know whether entering the mansion at that moment will worsen the situation.Damien walked past her into the mansion and Christiana followed suit without question. All the servants bowed and greeted them as they made their way upstairs. Damien finally got to the door of Christiana's room and stopped."Get inside " Christ
🌼 CHAPTER EIGHT 🌼Christiana couldn't move from where she was seated as she gaped at Denzel with eyes widened and lips parted in shock."I am his fiancee?! ""When? How? Why? " These questions kept ringing in Christiana's mind and were already making her head spin. And the one that almost made her lose it was when Damien announced they will be getting married in one month.What the hell is wrong with this man?! How can he announce to the world that they will be getting married when they barely even know each other's names?Once again Christiana's anger flared up and without looking back, she stormed out of the hall using the back door.A murmur arouse among everyone present the moment Damien dropped the mind-blowing announcement. "Christiana Crownway? Who is she? ""I thought Mr. Fernandez was engaged to Arianna? Did they break up? ""I wonder what's going on "But despite being surprised and murmuring to themselves, all the guests didn't forget to give a round of applause. And whe
🌼 CHAPTER SEVEN 🌼Christiana came out of the restroom and bumped into someone, a woman actually. Arianna Jourdan!Arianna was a very beautiful and famous model. With the perfect face and perfect body, she was every man's ideal woman.

So from day one, Arianna was born with a silver spoon.But the most important thing here is this;Arianna was Damien's fiancee!"Oh, I'm so sorry " Christiana didn't hesitate to apologize."It's okay. I should be the one apologizing since I believe I bumped into you and not the other way around" Arianna stated with a smile."Wow! Not only is she beautiful. She's also kind " Christiana thought to herself. Well, not until..."But the thing is that I don't apologize to lowlifes " Arianna's broad smile quickly turned into a soured, disgusted look. "Sorry?

🌼 CHAPTER SIX 🌼“Do you want to know something, Young Mistress? ““You’re the only woman Young Master has ever brought into this mansion. Even though like you said… you’re nothing but a surrogate “ Lucian muttered loud enough for Christiana to hear him, before leaving.What Lucian said made Christiana’s lips part in confusion and she frowned. It was an unpleasant frown. What did he mean by she was the only woman Damien brought to this mansion? Is he trying to say that Damien has some kind of special thing for her?But that is Impossible. Damien can’t possibly fall in love with her after sleeping with her just twice. That is not how love works."And besides, it's not like I care " Christiana scoffed.
