A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter Twenty: Know Your place
Celyne POVThe dining table felt colder than usual.It wasn’t the room.It wasn’t the air.It was the people sitting around it.I sat quietly in my seat, my hands resting lightly on my lap, my fingers slightly curled as I tried to steady myself.Everything in me felt off.My body.My mind.Even my breathing felt heavier than normal.But I couldn’t show it.Not here.Not in front of them.The soft clinking of cutlery filled the silence, but it did nothing to ease the tension pressing down on me.If anything, it made it worse.Because no one was speaking.No one—until a voice finally broke through.“Where were you today?”I didn’t need to look up to know who it was.Vivian.Her tone was calm.Too calm.The kind of calm that always carried something sharp beneath it.I lifted my head slowly, meeting her gaze.“I went out for a bit,” I replied quietly.Simple.Careful.Non-confrontational.But it wasn’t enough.It was never enough.“For a bit?” she repeated, her brow lifting slightly.“Ye
A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter Nineteen: Where Did You Go
Alexander POVThe house felt too quiet.I didn’t notice it at first.Not until I stepped into the living room and realized something was… off.My gaze moved slowly across the space, sharp, observant.Empty.My jaw tightened slightly.“Where is she?”The question left my lips before I could stop it.A maid standing nearby hesitated before answering. “Madam Celyne is not in the house, sir.”Not in the house.The words settled heavily.My eyes narrowed slightly.“What do you mean she’s not in the house?” I asked, my tone calm—but firm.“She left earlier, sir.”Left.Just like that.Without a word.Without informing me.A slow breath left my nose as irritation began to build quietly inside my chest.“She left…” I repeated, more to myself than anyone else.Then why didn’t she say anything?My fingers flexed slightly at my side.She doesn’t make decisions like that.Not here.Not under my roof.Not when she’s carrying—I cut the thought off immediately.“Where did she go?” I asked again.Th
A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter Eighteen: I Can’t Keep This Together
Celyne POVThe doctor’s words still echoed in my head even after I stepped out of the hospital.You have to be careful.Your condition is getting worse.If you don’t take this seriously, you could lose your life… and the baby.I tightened my grip on my bag as I walked slowly down the quiet street, each step feeling heavier than the last.Careful.The word sounded simple.But nothing about this situation was simple.Not my body.Not my life.Not anything anymore.I exhaled slowly, my hand instinctively moving to my stomach.A dull ache lingered there, constant now.Unsettling.Like a quiet reminder that something wasn’t right.“That’s all I hear now…” I muttered softly.“Be careful.”I let out a small, tired laugh.As if I hadn’t been trying.As if I had a choice.The air felt heavier around me as I kept walking, my mind refusing to stay still.Everything kept replaying.The doctor.The warning.Alexander.The message about the file.My chest tightened slightly.He’s already suspicious
A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter seventeen: I’m Not Done With You
Mandy POVIt has been five years.Five long years since I last saw Celyne.And now she’s back.Back in the same city, living her life like nothing ever happened… and yet she hasn’t even bothered to come and see me.A slow, bitter smile spreads across my lips as I stare down at my phone.Ignoring me.After everything.“Wow…” I mutter under my breath, shaking my head slightly.“What does she think of herself?”My fingers tighten around the phone as irritation builds slowly inside me.Five years.No calls.No messages.Nothing.And now I hear she’s back, moving around like she doesn’t owe anyone anything.Like she can just forget the past.Like she can forget me.A dry laugh escapes my lips.“Oh, Celyne…” I whisper.“You really think you can run forever?”I lean back into the chair, my gaze fixed on nothing as thoughts begin to settle into place.So it all came back to this.A surrogate.For her ex-husband.My lips curl slightly.“What a world we live in,” I say quietly.After everything
A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter sixteen: Holding On By A Thread
Celyne POVMy fingers tighten slightly around my phone as I stare at the message again.Something is missing from the documents.The file is not complete.My heart pounds harder against my chest.Why?Why is he suddenly so focused on it?I swallow slowly, my thoughts racing faster than I can control.I thought he didn’t care.I thought he made it clear that nothing mattered except the baby.So why is he bent on finding that paper?My grip on the phone tightens.Does he suspect something?The thought alone makes my chest tighten.No… he can’t know.Not yet.Not like this.I shake my head slightly, trying to calm myself, but the uneasiness doesn’t leave.It only grows.Because Alexander doesn’t look for things without a reason.And if he’s asking for the complete file…Then he’s already suspicious.“What do I do now…” I whisper under my breath.My voice sounds smaller than I expect.Weaker.Just like I feel.I lower the phone slowly, my hand instinctively moving to my stomach as a sudde
A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter Fifteen: I Can’t Let Him See
Celyne POVI just hope Alexander doesn’t notice.The thought sits heavily in my chest as I stand alone in the quiet of the room, my fingers pressed lightly against my stomach.Everything feels… wrong.Not just my body.Not just the constant weakness that refuses to go away.But something deeper.Something I can’t explain.I exhale slowly, trying to steady myself, but the moment I move, a wave of dizziness follows, forcing me to grip the edge of the dresser beside me.Not again.“Please…” I whisper under my breath.“Not now.”Lately, it’s been getting worse.Not a single day passes without something reminding me that my body is slowly giving in.The headaches.The weakness.The way my vision blurs for a few seconds before clearing again.And still…I pretend.I straighten slowly, forcing my body to cooperate, forcing my expression back into something calm, something normal.Because I cannot let anyone notice.Especially not Alexander.A small, bitter thought crosses my mind.Why is he
