Being His Surrogate After Divorce. Chapter 43
The elevator doors clicked shut, but Anna’s mind stayed frozen on the fifth floor.The shoes.The silver emblem on the heel. A custom piece she had spent weeks designing for Adrian, a token from a time when she still believed their marriage meant something.A paralyzing panic gripped her chest. The image of Adrian, pale and sweating, coughing blood after her father’s brutal blows, flashed through her mind.Adrian wasn’t pretending. He was hurt, and she had pushed him away, ignoring his pain.“No, no, no...” Anna whispered, her voice cracking.Her hand shot out, hitting the button for the fifth floor repeatedly. The elevator had already passed it, descending to the fourth, then the third. The two elderly passengers inside the elevator gave her strange, worried glances as she frantically pressed the controls, her breathing ragged.“Miss, are you alright?” one of them asked, reaching out a hand.Anna didn't even hear them.Her heart was hammering a frantic rhythm against her ribs.The do

“I told you to stay the fuck away from my daughter! It seems my warning this morning wasn't enough!” Harold growled angrily, lunging his fist forward to deliver another punch to Adrian's gut, but Anna stepped between them. But it was too late; Harold's fist was aimed for her stomach instead. “Anna!...” Adrian gasped, hugging her and turning her around in time, and Harold's iron fist connected with his spine. But Harold, seeing he almost hurt his daughter because of the bastard, throws another hard punch, which was delivered at Adrian's side. Adrian spat a mouth full of blood, his knees giving out, but he held on tightly to the slightly trembling woman in his arms. He knows she was startled by the situation. Harold wanted to leave a mark, and his punch could knock Anna out cold had he not moved faster. “Are you okay?” Adrian asked her, and Anna looked at the face of the man she hated with all her heart, so deep it hurt. She wiped his blood off her face and pushed him, her heart sk

Both men froze, turning to look at the woman they were fighting over like a piece of territory. Anna was gripping the roots of her hair, her eyes wide, her breath coming in shallow, frantic gasps. “I am not going with anyone!” she cried out. “Just go, both of you! Get out of my sight!” She glared at them, tears finally spilling hot and fast down her cheeks. “A man is in there fighting for his life because he was standing next to me, and you two are out here having a pissing contest over who owns me. I am not property. I don't want your protection, Aiden, and I don't want your redemption, Adrian! You both bring me nothing but pain!” The brothers stood completely frozen, stunned into silence by Anna's outburst. For the first time, piercing through the thick haze of their blinding possessiveness and toxic alpha rivalry, a terrifying realization dawned on them both. In their desperate attempts to claim her, to be the ultimate man who protected her, they were entirely suffocating her.

The air smelled of antiseptic as Anna paced the empty corridor, her heels clicking a frantic, erratic rhythm against the polished floor.Her work clothes were ruined, stained with the dark, drying crimson of Patrick’s blood, her hands trembling uncontrollably at her sides.Every time she dared to blink, the horrific scenes played again behind her eyelids: the screech of tires, the black van, the cold barrel, and Patrick collapsing to the concrete, coughing up blood meant for her.The guilt was a heavy, suffocating weight pressing down on her chest, making every breath a battle.Patrick had taken those bullets. He was currently lying on an operating table, his chest probably cut open, fighting for his life. And why? Because of the man sitting rigidly on the uncomfortable plastic chair to her left.Aiden.The man she had almost yielded to the night before. The man who had whispered promises of patience. That same man had armed guards, hidden enemies, and secrets darker than she could ha

Annastasia's stomach grumbled, and she looked up at Simona, who was seated beside her explaining a cosmetic line to attach to their upcoming fashion week, feeling embarrassed. “Let's end today's meeting here," Simona announced, and all eyes around the long table moved to Anna. After all, Anna was their CEO, and they only listened to her words. Not her lousy secretary, who somehow believes she magically becomes the boss since she is the CEO's secretary. A few of the females rolled their eyes discreetly when they fixed on Simona's face briefly. Anna nodded, smiling. Everyone got up and left. After everyone was out, Simona said, “Umm. Let go, madam. I will treat you to lunch.” “No, you don't have to do that. Let go; I will treat you.” Anna rejected Simona's offer politely. “I insist. Please consider it as a thank you for the hefty bonus you gave me a few days ago,” Simona insisted, her lips pulled into a pout. She didn't intend to let off the topic if Anna doesn't accept. “Okay

Patrick smiled, his eyes shining with mockery. “5 billion?” he repeated with disbelief. “Is that what my boss is worth in your eyes? You can do better than that.” “Okay, fine, I will double it, 10 billion. That’s my final offer,” Helena stated. Patrick smirked, reaching for his briefcase. He stood up and said to Helena, “Call me once you’re willing to offer more.” “What?” Helena exclaimed in disbelief, standing up. “Are you telling me 10 billion dollars isn't enough? That's a life-changing offer. Don't be avaricious,” Helena muttered, her voice degrading. Patrick finally took off his mask and laughed at her words. “If someone among us is greedy, then that's you. I thought you were sensible enough to understand why I rejected your offer. I didn't expect you to go ahead and chastise me. I believe you need that more than I do.” Patrick stated politely and turned, walking away, but paused at the door and added in a threatening tone. “I recorded our conversation today. If something
