VIVIAN

I begin to think back on how I lashed out at Zander and gave him the cold shoulder this morning.

I regretted my actions because I felt I might have been too hard on him. Right now I was warmed by what he told me about his plans with Lucas.

I had been so cold to him. I knew it. I had also said things I didn’t mean. I looked at him like he didn’t matter. I acted like I didn’t care if he walked out that door and never came back.

But deep down, I did care.

I cared more than I wanted to admit.

I was just angry… confused… maybe even scared. Scared that maybe he wasn’t really with me. That maybe, I was just being foolish to keep hoping. Because we had our chance to get this video and he refused.

So I shut him out. That was why I gave him that cold silence. I didn’t even let him explain himself properly. I just assumed the worst because it was easier than getting hurt again.

But now… now I was here in Ronald’s room, looking at Zander, and all I could feel was warmth in my chest.

  • A Surrogate For The Alpha: His Substitute Bride   CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT

    VIVIAN Ronald just stood there in front of me, staring at his hands like they were something new… like they weren’t part of his body before at all.His fingers moved slowly as he turned his palms over, studying every inch like he didn’t trust what he was seeing.It was strange watching him like that and my brows furrowed. He looked amazed, shocked even, like a man who had been blind his whole life and suddenly opened his eyes for the first time.He wiggled his fingers, then lifted both hands into the air, almost as if he expected them to vanish. Then he began checking other parts of his body.I crossed my arms and stood quietly, just watching him.His chest rose and fell with deep, steady breaths now unlike before. Color was also coming back into his skin, and he didn’t look like death anymore. He looked alive. Completely healed.After a few more seconds, he finally turned to me, with his eyes wide and almost shining with disbelief.“You healed me…” he whispered like he couldn’t beli

    VIVIAN I stood in front of Ronald and took a deep breath, as I let my fingers stretch out slowly making the warmth of my magic begin to rise inside me.This was it. The final moment.I was going to do what I said I would, even though I had every reason not to. I wasn't doing this because I cared about Ronald.Left to me, I would have happily watched him die. But I just had to do something so I could get the video.I looked down at Ronald, and for a second again, I thought about how easy it would be to just walk away.After everything he had done—after all the pain, the manipulation, the betrayal—he didn’t deserve kindness. He didn’t deserve mercy. Especially not from me.But I reminded myself again that I wasn't doing this for him. I was doing this because of the people I cared about. I didn't want my death to take a toll on them.So that video had to be destroyed to prevent me from dying if it was exposed to the public.And this healing plan was the only way to make sure that happe

    VIVIAN I looked at Ronald, lying there on the ground and groaning. His nose was bleeding, and his lips were swollen from the punches I gave him.But even with how broken he looked, I still didn’t feel sorry for him, and neither did I trust him.My heart wanted to doubt him again. My brain kept whispering that he was a liar. A manipulator. A backstabber. That he would still try to do something bad to us after we heal him. But I had to shut those voices out.I took a deep breath and forced myself to push all my doubts away.It wasn’t easy. In fact, it was one of the hardest things I had ever done.Because I knew what Ronald did. I remembered the pain, the betrayal, the tears that burned my cheeks when I realized that Ronald had cheated on me and asked for a divorce. And also that he had worked with the Circle to destroy me.But I had to let that go, for now. I had to put all that anger aside. Because if I wanted my magic to work, I couldn’t carry that kind of doubt and malice against

    ZANDERWhen Ronald’s weak hand shot out from the bed and grabbed my wrist.The touch was shaky but strong enough to hold me in place.I looked down at Ronald, shocked that he was even aware of what I was doing.I expected him to say something like, “Don’t touch that,” or “Get away from my laptop.”Hell, I thought this was it.That this was the moment where he would finally drop the act, admit he’d been faking the whole damn illness just to get attention or lure us into some kind of trap. That all this sweating and shivering and panicking was just a performance.Because how could someone be this out of it one second, and then suddenly grab my hand the next?I stared at him, waiting. But what he said next threw me off completely.His lips trembled, and his cracked voice whispered something I didn’t expect to hear.“Vivian…” He said.I blinked as my brows pulled together in confusion.“What?” I muttered, thinking I’d misheard him.But he said it again. This time louder and more desperate

    ZANDERI watched Ronald lie back down on the bed and pull the blanket over himself. I just stood there watching him and not moving with my arms crossed over my chest.His movement shocked me. He actually tucked himself in. Like a kid listening to instructions. I blinked a few times, trying to make sense of it.What the hell was going on with him?I stared harder with my brows creasing and my eyes narrowing. I began to not trust this anymore. Not even a little bit. Something felt off.It didn’t sit right with me.I took a small step back and studied him. The way he lay there. The way he didn’t move.My mind started spinning again. A small voice inside me whispered something that made me stiffen.What if he was really faking it?What if this is all just one big trap like I thought?It wouldn’t be the first time Ronald pulled something twisted. He’d already deceived me and tried to kill me.He had already deceived Vivian into signing her company over to him. He also got involved with the
