Forty eight: Caught.
SHANICE
----------
"What's up with you now?" Deja asked as she sipped from her orange juice.
"I'm good." I replied to her question, focusing on the pictures I was checking on my phone.
She lurched to me, and buried her butt into my comfy bed. "You're sure? You don't look good at all." She said.
I rolled my eyes, and dropped my phone on the bed."Girl." I sighed. "Don't bother me ok? You said you want to sleep here for the night, and not disturb me for the night. I'm so stressed out already. Don't worsen my tiredness."
"What's wrong with you?" She lifted an eyebrow at me, and dropped her juice on the table. "You're overreacting. Is it wrong for me to care about you?"
I shut my eyes, and pressed the back of my head against my pillow. "I'm fed up." I admitted to her. "I'm fed up with every freaking thing that's going on in

(Trigger warnings: Violent scene ahead. Read at your own risk.)Trisha-------I couldn't stop gaping. The fear that gripped me was so much that I could literally pass out in a short while. How did it happen? How did she get to see me? How?"Ma." I called for a second time, my voice as shaky as an amoeba.She walked slowly to me, obviously shocked and bewildered. Standing in my front, she stared at me and didn't take any action. All I read from her face was sadness and brokenness, but I cared less about that. The fact that she caught me was the only thing that bothered me.As I had expected, she raised her hand, and hit it hard against my cheek. "You heartless woman!" Her voice echoed in the long hallway. "How can you do this? Why would you even think of doing such a thing? Why?"Holding my burning cheek, I
Billionaire's Surrogate Fifty: Phone call
JACE-------I rolled uncomfortably on my bed although it was spacious enough to accommodate me alone. It felt like there was something obstructing my sleep, but I couldn't tell what it was.Sitting up and groaning softly, I rubbed my hands against my sleep eyes, and removed the duvet from my body. About to stand up to walk into the bathroom, I heard a knock on my door. There was no doubt that it was going to be Jill.I dunked back into my bed, and quickly pulled the duvet over my chest. I didn't want her to think I had fully woken up, so she wouldn't have to disturb me with some unnecessary talk."Come in." I said, amid a fake yawn, and waited for her to walk in.Without wasting time, she jerked the door open and sauntered to me, wearing her usual morning smile, and holding a tray in her hands. "Hey boyo." She gree
Billionaire's Surrogate Fifty one: Accident or attack?
Jill----Walking into the large New York City hospital, Jace and I hurried to the elevator after he had done some things at the reception, and headed to his mom's room.To be honest, I was almost as fearful as Jace was. The old woman only left for the hotel the night before, so how in the world did she get a quick accident? Or did something go wrong?With a great deal of worry, Jace walked out of the elevator, and walked unsteadily in the hallway his mom's room was."What happened Baek Chin Ju? You guys only left my place yesterday. How did she get to have an accident?" He asked the Asian looking lady who stood in front of a well furnished door, and looked equally concerned.She sighed, "I don't know sir. Last night, I went to get some of the things we needed to use for our work. And when I got to her hotel room this mor
Billionaire's Surrogate Fifty two: Defense
Jace sat on his mom's bed, staring at her sleeping body and holding her hands in his. "When will she be fine?" He asked the middle aged doctor who did some things to her skin."She's fine right now." The doctor told him. "All that's needed is for her to regain consciousness. She's suffering from shock, and she has an injury in her head. It's an internal injury. But thank God it wasn't too late before she was brought to the hospital. If she came here later, there's a probability that she could have lost her life."I turned to Jace who fretted more and ran his hands through his hair. "This is really bad. Are you sure she won't be affected anymore?"The doctor smiled at him. "I'm very sure. There's no need for you to worry at all. She'll be completely fine.""Alright. Thanks." He said to the doctor.The doctor stopped doing whatever he was doing, and set his gaze at Jace
Billionaire's Surrogate 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,"
Billionaire's Surrogate Fifty four: Confirmation=_=
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
