Fifty three: Suspicious
JACE
-------
"I'm sorry for all these Brittany. I've been quite busy at home, so I've not had time to work. Can you please do something about the work I've missed?" I spoke to my secretary over the phone.
She let out a shaky sigh, and cleared her throat. "Alright sir. But I've kind of been working extra hours."
"That's not a problem at all. In fact, I'll pay you double of your salary this month. I can understand how well you're working. Thanks so much." I assured her.
"Oh thank you sir." Her tired voice suddenly boomed into agitation. "I'll ensure I do all the work. Thanks again."
"Goodnight then. See you anytime soon." I hung up the phone call.
I grabbed my laptop, and tried to work again. But before I could, someone knocked on my study room door, and I sighed on knowing that it was Jill again. "Come in,"

JACE-------Patiently waiting for Owen in my study room, I worked on my laptop. I went through the files Brittany had sent to me, and tried to focus on it. To be honest, I couldn't concentrate on work for some reason. All I knew was that I could feel a little nervousness within me. And why was that?Not wanting to think about it any further, I decided to walk out of the room. Maybe I'd feel better if I had fun with Jill. And Liam too.About to step out, I halted as someone was about to step in as well. I almost bumped into the person, but thankfully, I stopped walking before it could happen."Hey." I breathed out, feeling a little relief to see my brother. Finally.He smiled. And observing the smile on his face, I sensed that it was fake. "You're okay?" I was forced to ask him.He sighed, "can

(Warning: Violent scene ahead. Read at your own risk, please!)Trisha--------"What were you doing?" Jill asked me the same question, reminding me that I had to say something.I gulped in hard, and bit my tongue as I knew nothing to say. Did she seriously hear me speak to Xander? "I was— calling someone. And– and why do you care?" I stuttered, immediately regretting that I did."Are you the one doing all this?" She narrowed her eyes at me, her face suddenly pale, and her eyes watering for an unknown reason. What the heck? Was our family issues her problem?"What the heck are you speaking of?" I chuckled nervously."You know what I'm saying, woman!" She hollered, so loudly, and gripped my arm. "Did you hurt that poor woman? Are you the attacker?"I scoffed, jolti
Billionaire's Surrogate Fifty six: Loved wrongly.
JACE-------I stared at Jill as she laid on her bed, unconscious. At this point, I was almost dying. I was just so sick of everything going on around me. How could my life become so terrible?I scanned my eyes to her lap, and I immediately averted from looking at it. I remembered how she bled the previous night, and the thought of that was so scary. Very scary. "Is my mom okay?" I heard Liam's voice from behind me, and that made my heart skip a beat. What would I tell the young boy?I turned to the direction of his voice, and pulled a fake smile when I sighted him. "Come here boy." I said.He lurched to me, his eyes already drowned in tears, and his body obviously shivering. "What happened to my mommy?" He asked. "She hasn't woken up since last night.""She'll be fine," I smiled wider, wanting to make him feel better. "It's ju

Trisha held her red cheek, gawking in disbelief of what I just did to her. But although she looked so shocked, I cared less. She deserved it. She even deserved more. A terrible human like her didn't deserve anything good."You— you hit me?" She stuttered, gulping as her lips moved unstably. "How can you hit me? Have you forgotten who I am? I'm Trisha. I'm your wife. The lady you love.""Love?" I moved closer to her, and yanked at her arm again. "This isn't love. This is blindness. Blindness in the sense that I haven't been seeing all my suffering. As for you, this is lust. Our relationship is filled with hatred, lust, betrayal. It's nothing close to being love." I lamented.A tear dropped from her eye, and she sobbed. "But still, how can you slap me? Have you forgotten that you're a calm and dumb husband who reacts to nothing? Have you forgotten who you are?"I glared harder, shutti
Billionaire's Surrogate Fifty eight: Just mine.
"So is there any other thing I'll need to do?" I asked my lawyer for the second time, grinning at him like I just won a competition.He gave me a small smile, and began to arrange the papers he had in his hands. "Not at all. Since the divorce was done really early, I'll just have to submit it to the court. It'll be finalized by tomorrow morning. And since your wife has also signed it, there'll be no issue at all," he explained.As he said that, my grin grew wider. "So does it mean that I'm officially divorced? Does it mean that I'm no longer married to— to that woman?" I seriously had to reconfirm.He sighed, seeming like I was being disturbing. "Yes sir. You are now a divorcee. You're back to being a bachelor." He assured me."Yes!" I uncontrollably rejoiced. It still felt so much like a dream. A dream that always felt like it wasn't going to come true.&nb
Billionaire's Surrogate Fifty nine: Trust
Jill—–As Jace kissed me, tears uncontrollably rolled down my cheeks. How did it happen? How did he get to like me? It all didn't make any sense. It was just too quick. How did it become possible?When I realized my feelings for him, I made sure I didn't express it. I tried so much to not act weird so he wouldn't be suspicious in any way. So how in the world did he get to like me back?With so much force, I jerked my lips from his, and turned away from looking at him, panting so heavily. "What?" He sounded quite flirting again. "You know you can't complain that I'm married. You have no excuse to not get close to me right now. And as a fact, I know that you love me too. Why the pretence?"What the heck? How did he know that?I slowly turned to face him, my eyes filled in tears, and my eyebrows curving into a frown.
Billionaire's Surrogate Sixty: Confession
Evening had come already. Liam and I had packed every of our things, preparing to leave Jace mansion. Liam had been crying all day, begging me not to leave the mansion, but I didn't agree to that. I told him that we already had enough money to get a big house, but he still didn't care. All he wanted was to remain with Jace.Sincerely, it wasn't like I didn't feel like staying in the mansion. It was just that I didn't know how to apologize to Jace. And even if I apologized to him, what was the probability that he was going to forgive me after what I had said? Especially due to the fact that I didn't say it for the first time. Goodness knew if he'd ever forgive me."Let's go now," I told Liam as I grabbed his backpack, and held his hands.Stepping out of our room, I took a last glance at it, and closed the door gently. And as we walked on the staircase, I carried Liam in my arms, and steered my eyes through the wide

Shanice————"Oh my freaking gosh!" Jill exclaimed over the phone, sounding so happy and agitated. "I'm so so happy. I'm so glad. I just can't believe that I'm in love again. And this time around, I can sense that this love will last for a long time. Jace is not a moron like my old boyfriend, you know?"I chuckled at what she said, walking gently on the street, and crunching on my snack. "I'm so glad for you dear. I just knew that you both were gonna be a couple someday. I sensed it! That's the person that deserves to be with a sweetheart like you.""Oh my goodness!" She burst out in a short laughter, and sighed. "Thanks for your encouragement dear. If you didn't speak to me, I wouldn't have given him a chance. And right now, I feel so good that I listened to you.""My pleasure," I replied to her in a mouthful of chips.
