A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter Twenty Six:Maybe I Should Disappear
Celyne POVThe house felt quieter than usual this morning.Or maybe it was just me.I stood by the window, my fingers lightly gripping the edge of the curtain as my eyes followed the car disappearing through the gates.Alexander left earlier than usual.He didn’t say much before leaving.He didn’t look at me for long either.But somehow…That made it worse.A slow breath left my lips as I stepped back from the window, my chest tightening slightly.“Did he find out…?” I whispered under my breath.The question had been repeating in my head since last night.Over and over again.Like something I couldn’t escape.I shook my head quickly.“No…”He couldn’t have.He wouldn’t.Right?But then again…Alexander wasn’t someone who ignored things.If something didn’t sit right with him…He would look into it.And that thought alone made my stomach twist.My hand moved slowly to rest against my stomach.A small, protective gesture.One I didn’t even realize I kept making.“This is too much…” I mu
A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter Twenty Five: I’m Not Done With You
Mandy POVThe moment I stepped into that house, I knew one thing.Celyne hadn’t changed.Still quiet.Still soft.Still thinking she could avoid me.A small smile formed on my lips as I walked down the hallway, my heels clicking softly against the floor.Five years.Five whole years.And she thought she could just disappear like that?No explanation.No responsibility.Nothing.“Well…” I muttered under my breath. “Let’s see how far you’ve come, Celyne.”I didn’t bother knocking gently.No.I knocked just enough to make my presence known.Firm.Sharp.“Celyne.”There was a pause.Then movement inside.Good.She was there.The door opened, and the moment I saw her face, something inside me twisted—not pity.Never that.Something closer to satisfaction.“Ohhh, Celyne…” I said, stepping in without waiting. “What do you feel like now?”She looked tired.Weaker than before.But that didn’t matter.Not to me.“Avoiding me?” I continued, my eyes scanning her slowly. “And the money I requested
A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter Twenty Four: Something Isn’t Right
Alexander POVThe moment I stepped out of the house earlier, I already knew I wouldn’t be able to ignore it.It wasn’t something obvious.Not something I could clearly point at.But it was there.That feeling.The one that doesn’t sit well.Celyne said she was going to Clara’s place.Simple.Clear.Yet when I saw her again… something about it didn’t feel right.Not the way she spoke.Not the way she avoided my eyes.Not even the way she held herself.Too careful.Too controlled.Like she was making sure nothing slipped.I don’t like that.I don’t like not knowing.And I especially don’t like it when things don’t add up.That was why I found myself standing in front of Clara’s office.Not because I was sure something was wrong.But because I needed to be sure nothing was.I stepped inside, my movements calm, measured.Clara looked up the moment I entered, her expression softening slightly.“Alexander.”I gave a small nod.“Clara.”She gestured for me to sit, and I did, leaning back sli
A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter Twenty Three: You Never Saw Me
Clara POVThe room was quiet. Too quiet, even for my liking. But I liked it that way. Silence was easier to control. Easier to think in. Easier to remember.I sat at my desk, hands folded neatly, my gaze drifting to the dark screen of my phone. Nothing. Still nothing. Perfect. Patience was a virtue, and I had plenty of it.Celyne. The name alone stirred a strange mix of nostalgia and irritation in me. She had always been like this, like some shining star that everyone fell in love with. Even when she was breaking, even when she was falling apart, people noticed her. Alexander, the world… even me, in ways I hated to admit. And yet, they never saw me.I leaned back slightly, letting the leather chair creak under my weight. A soft, humorless smile curved my lips. “You never saw me,” I whispered. Yes, that was the truth. I was always there. Always beside her, always supporting her. Standing in the shadows, quietly present. And she… she had no idea.It had begun years ago, subtly. The laug
A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter Twenty Two:This Isn’t What I Expected
Elara POVThe dining table was quiet now.Too quiet.But even in the silence, the tension from earlier still lingered in the air, heavy and unsettling.I stood by the window, my arms crossed lightly, my gaze unfocused as my thoughts replayed everything that had just happened.Every word.Every expression.Every reaction.Or more importantly…The lack of it.A small frown formed on my face.“That wasn’t supposed to happen…” I muttered softly.At least… not like that.I had expected the tension.Of course I had.Celyne being back was already enough to stir things.And yes, I wanted her to feel uncomfortable.To remember her place.To understand clearly that she no longer belonged here.But something about tonight…Felt different.Wrong, even.I exhaled slowly, my fingers tightening slightly against my arms.“I thought…” I paused.Then shook my head.“I thought he would say something.”Alexander.My gaze hardened slightly as his image crossed my mind.I knew him.Or at least…I believed
A SURROGATE TO MY BILLIONAIRE EX HUSBAND Chapter Twenty One: I Don’t Belong Anywhere
Celyne POVThe door closed behind me softly.But the moment I stepped fully into my room…Everything I had been holding was shattered.My legs gave out before I could stop myself, and I sank slowly onto the floor, my back resting against the door as if it was the only thing holding me together.A shaky breath left my lips.Then another.And then—“I can’t…” I whispered.My voice broke almost immediately.Tears blurred my vision as I brought my hand to my mouth, trying to silence the sound that was threatening to escape.But it didn’t work.Nothing worked.Because everything hurt.Not just my body.But everything else.My chest tightened painfully as the scene from earlier replayed in my head.Every word.Every look.Every moment.“You are just a surrogate.”The words echoed again.Loud.Clear.Unforgiving.My fingers curled tightly into my clothes as more tears slipped down my face.“What is this…” I whispered weakly.“What is all of this…”My voice trembled as I lowered my head, my s
