🌼 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 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 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
🌼 PROLOGUE 🌼 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 rem
🌼 CHAPTER ONE 🌼What Jeremy said felt like a missile was dropped right on Christiana's head and it exploded immensely. She went stiff in shock still trying to digest what Jeremy just said.Her father... sold her off as a SURROGATE?! without her awareness, to someone she has never met before in her life!That's impossible!How will her father sell her off? How can he ruin her life like this when he wasn't even there?"You don't know what you're talking about " Christiana chortled in disbelief."For your point of information... I don't have a father. And I don't know nor do I care whatever nonsense both this document and you are talking about. The most important thing to me right now is to get home to my mother " Christiana turned to leave but..."I'm sorry but you're not allowed to do that, Ma'am. According to the contract, you won't be able to leave this mansion until the contract has expired " What Jeremy said made Christiana pause and shot him a glare."What?! Are you out of your
🌼 CHAPTER TWO 🌼Christiana obediently walked back into the mansion with her heart still hammering against her chest.If there are this amount of guards at the back gate, what about the front gate? How many of them will be there? With the mansion surrounded by thousands of guards, how will one be able to escape a place like this?Elizabeth came to realize; Trying to run away was nothing but a suicide mission! If she wanted to truly escape, Christiana knew she needed to plan it out.First, she needed to familiarize herself with this place and everyone living inside it. But that will take months to happen. Who will be taking care of her mother till then?Christiana needed a phone! She decided to ask for help from one of the maids. She was still on her way when she bumped into someone. "I'm so sorry, it wasn't intentional " Christiana didn't hesitate to apologize. She looked up and was surprised to see an older woman, dressed in a different cloth from that of the other maids who were
🌼 CHAPTER THREE 🌼 Christiana decided to take a stroll down to the kitchen after enjoying a good nap. Earlier, she was so lost in thoughts she didn't even realize when she fell asleep. She wanted to ask Ma'am Theresa since it would be the easiest option for her but... Christiana had a feeling the old woman may not give her the answer she needed. She decided to ask the servants instead. Some of the maids saw her coming and they all gave her a scornful look. It was obvious, they didn't like Christiana. They didn't like the idea of their Young Master bringing a woman home, especially one as beautiful as Christiana. Christiana saw their scornful glare but didn't even care. They can glare at her all they want. It's not like they can do anything to her. Technically, she was still the Mistress of this mansion and all these maids don't have a choice but to accept her. Getting close to them, all the maids bowed respectfully to Christiana. "Good day, Young Mistress " They all greeted. Chr
🌼 CHAPTER FOUR 🌼 Damien carried Christiana firmly in his arms in a bridal style and headed upstairs. He wouldn't take his eyes off her. His eyes were softened a little bit as they pierced through Christiana's hazel eyes. "Her eyes are beautiful " Damien thought to himself."And her lips... " His eyes traveled down to Christiana's slightly parted lips."Shit! "Damien was shocked, more like surprised. "Who is this woman? " He asked himself. Damien was shocked by the fact that Christiana already has this much effect on him. How could he lose control because of a woman he just purchased yesterday? It's not like she was special or something.Christiana was more like a sex toy to Damien, one he can use and discard anytime he feels like it. More especially she was nothing but a surrogate, who is to carry and bear him an heir. But why does he feel differently now?Last night when he entered the room where Christiana was tied up all he had in mind was to just fuck her and leave. But t
