~Selina~

I just got a confirmation email from the bar job I applied for. I have been accepted, but that's not the shocking part. They needed me to resume tonight because a tycoon is coming for his pre-engagement celebration.

Woah!! That's sudden and huge. The interesting thing is that they are willing to triple the pay for tonight. I quickly accepted the offer and took a quick nap the moment we got home.

“Wake me by 6pm; I need to resume for an overnight work. I will get back by midnight,” I informed Aria, shifting around for a comfortable position to sleep.

Aria looked too shocked to speak. I tossed around while pretending to have fallen asleep quickly. Had it been I didn't do that? She would have lectured me or probably even offered to give me money.

I fell asleep shortly after, and when it was 6 'o'clock on the dot, I was woken by the alarm. I rushed a quick shower, wore a knee-length dress, and then I bade Aria goodbye.

I arrived at the bar shortly after. I went to the manager's o

  • Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother    The Plan With Dawin

    ~Selina~“I have the perfect timing for us, my lady!!” Dawin said and I raised my eyebrows in suspicion. He proceeded to tell me about how excellent he thinks his plan is, though he insisted that the location would be a surprise, as he would be the one to drive us there.He added that he was going to send me a dinner dress for the occasion, and I couldn't help but overthink things. Why will I need a dinner dress for a casual evening outing? I wanted to ask but didn't want to ruin his happy mood, so I went along with the flow.I strolled to the bed with my phone still glued to my ear. Dawin went ahead to ask about my day.“Pretty stressful but worth it,” I said with a cheeky smile, my mind flashing back to the sweet little girl that made my entire day.Dawin went silent for a while, but then he finally spoke, “I really want to ask you something, and I would love for you to answer.”I tensed up. What could it be that he wanted to ask? We just met this evening, and the level of familiar

  • Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother    Meeting Avery Again

    ~Selina~I hesitated for a while; I wanted to question his reason for saying that, but I later decided against it. I believe we will cross the bridge when we get there.I agreed, and Ethan roared the car engine into life. I wonder why he didn't bring his driver along today.He drove us to the clinic, and it was almost dawn before we got there—such a far distance, I must say. We got down, and he led me to the room Avery was admitted in.A part of me was very nervous, while the other part was excited...excited that I will be spending time with one of my kids apart from Sage.Ethan stopped in front of a wardroom and quietly opened the door. I rubbed my sweaty palm against my trouser before entering.Avery was sitting on the bed; her bulgy blue eyes were dewy, which I suspected was as a result of staring at the television screen for so long. She didn't notice our entrance until Ethan cleared his throat.Her eyes swiftly moved on their own and fixed on me. Her jaw dropped in surprise, and

  • Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother    Contract With Ethan

    ~Selina~Dawin insisted that I have a coffee with him, but I denied with the excuse that I was working. He requested another way for me to make it up to him, and that was when he suggested that I give him my contact.I wanted to reject him, not only because I didn't want to involve myself in any drama in Las Vegas but also because I didn't want to be too familiar with a stranger. “Don't worry, it will just be a casual evening hangout at a café; that will be your way of paying me back for helping you,” he jokingly said, grinning with a genuine smile on his face, his white teeth shone with the bright chandelier. His aura was very friendly that I couldn't even refuse him.I sighed before I agreed to hand over my contact to him; he took the paper from me, thanked me, and promised to reach out to me very soon.After that, he returned back to his seat like nothing happened, I shrugged and left to finish my day's work. Evening came quickly and it was finally time to end my shift, I clocked

  • Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother    Avery wants Selina

    ~Ethan~I stared through the car window at the laughing duo; my gaze was locked on them for a while before I spoke to my bodyguard, Thane, “Have you checked that guy's background?” I asked.Thane continuously tapped on his laptop, and minutes later, he pushed it in front of me. My gaze skimmed through the details, and I froze.“His name is Dawin? From Scott's family, and he works at the St. Louis clinic, the same clinic that Aria works in, right?” I raised my brow at Thane, silently demanding the authenticity.Thane nodded, wearing that look of confidence.I sighed and returned the laptop back to him. I watched them for the last time, and something stung in my chest. Maybe it's because that is the happiest I have ever seen her. I have tried to get close to her, tried to talk things out with her, and probably asked her why she left without looking back.My memory flashed back to that day … the day that changed everything for me, the day that killed something within me.That particular

  • Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother    The handsome stranger at the bar

    ~Selina~My heart wrenched into a bottomless pit; my gaze didn't leave the door even though Ethan's assistant was long gone.I was dumped into shock, confusion, and the biggest thing I felt was guilt. Guilt that I didn't know what my kids looked like, the guilt that I even pushed their father away, and the guilt that I wasn't there for them while they were growing up.I dipped my head into the pillow and burst into a long round of tears. Aria entered and met me sulking; she was shocked to meet me in such a bad mood.She threw her bag to the side and sat beside me. “What is wrong? Is everything alright?”I quietly lifted my head from the sheet, and the moment Aria saw my red face, she screamed. “WHAT THE FUCK? What happened to you? Have you been crying for so long?”I sniffed and wiped my red nose.I didn't answer her, rather I went straight to the bathroom and rinsed my face with water. I glanced out through the window and realized that I have laid down for a long time.The sun had se

  • Accidental Surrogate For My Bestfriend's Brother    Ethan's promise

    ~Selina~“Who is Sage?” Ethan repeated, his outstretched hand held my phone. My face distorted and I barked loudly at him, “Why are you with my phone? Are you that shameless?”He wore a confused look for a while, he tried to defend himself but I quickly cut him off. “What are you doing here by the way and where is Aria?”I glanced round the room but there was no sign of Aria. Cold air surrounding Ethan, making the room temperature drop by several degrees.“At least, you should give me a chance to explain myself. Aria has an emergency at the clinic and I only dropped by to check on you. When I entered, I saw the phone on the floor and the moment I touched it, the screen lit up,” he unloosened the tie that was knotted around his neck.He coughed slightly and continued, “There was a text that said Sage wants to meet you and I was just curious, that was why I asked.”Upon listening to his valid explanation, I instantly felt bad for lashing out at him. I took in my bottom lips and muttered
