Seventy five: You're not done yet.
Silence everywhere, all mourning. No one spoke except the priest who was saying some things I wasn't sure I understood, probably because my ears turned deaf. Whimpers could be heard, and nothing but sorrow was moving around the graveyard.
I stared at how my friend's casket was being dug into the ground. It still felt so unreal. Believing the reality was something my heart just couldn't take. Not just yet.
Beth? Dead?
Unable to get my eyes off it, I zoomed into thinking about the times we used to be together. If I knew she would end up dying at such a young age, I wouldn't have complained about her in any way. I would have tolerated every of her behavior, with a smile plastering around my face. I would have been more close to her. I would have listened to her when she begged me to. It was all my fault.
"Right now," I heard the priest say. "An older sibling of the young lady will come forth

Jace——I blinked slowly, shut my eyes, then fixed my gaze at Jill. Although I was still so annoyed, I sincerely didn't feel like letting her leave yet. To be frank, I knew she was around all along, but I decided to ignore her presence. Sometimes, I'd check my home security camera to confirm if she was still around. And whenever I saw her, I'd be happy that I wasn't alone."What do you mean?" She asked, sounding really tried and confused.I sighed, and tried to sneer. "When you came here as my surrogate…" I started to speak. "The rule was that you'd live with me for eight months.""So what does that mean?" She creased her face to express her disgust."That means you'll have to stay here till the interval is over. You still have a few weeks more," I explained.She snorted. "Wha

Shanice————"Gosh babe, I've never been happier. I mean, I can't believe I was deflowered by him. I'm so shy right now," Jill stated over the phone, sounding so excited."Good for you." I sighed, and dropped on a couch in my living room. "Like, I'm so glad that you aren't stagnant anymore. I feel good now.""Thanks babe!" She squealed, and gasped for some reason. "And jeez, he is so hot. I had to beg him to stop dwelling into me. He made my first time so memorable."I chuckled at what she said. "You're so funny, lady. But I can't blame you. You're new to this.""Whatever," she groaned playfully, and sighed. "I guess this is the new life I was speaking of.""Yes. And...Ash!" My words got stuck in my throat, a strange pain in my abdomen attacked me again. What was the meaning of this?"Shanice?" Jill called,

A tear dropped from my eyes. Fear instantly overwhelmed me. Was it possible that the doctor was playing a prank on me?"Ma'am?" I called in a low voice, still widening my eyes at her. "Are you— did you— just say I'm pregnant? I mean, it's not possible.""Huh?" She scrunched her face like I was speaking like an idiot. "What do you mean by that? The scan can't lie. In fact…" she stretched an envelope to me. "This is the scan picture. You can check it yourself.""What?" My lips squeezed as I was about to tear up, tears already overshadowing my eyes. "This shouldn't be. I can't be pregnant! I'm not supposed to be!""But you are. Pregnancy is a good thing actually. It brings—" the doctor spoke, obviously trying to console me. But, I interrupted her immediately."No!" I squealed, and yanked my hair, dropping my forehead on the table, and breaking out in d
Billionaire's Surrogate Seventy nine: One chance
Staring at him, my pain worsened; both my emotional and physical pain. For a second time, I saw worry around his face. He looked worried and sorry. Why was that?Unable to stare at my agony any longer, I turned from looking at him, and stared at nothing specific. "What are you doing here?" I asked a straight question, trying as much as possible to hold my tears."We need to talk," he replied, not taking a chance to hesitate on whether to speak or not.I scoffed, and turned to him. "About what?""Shanice." He sighed hard, shut his eyes, and returned to staring at me like the idiot he was. "Jill told me about our child. Please, for its sake, can you try to hear me out?""Wow." I fixed my arms on my chest, and smiled although I didn't feel like it. "So you can call it our child? Seriously? The guy who abandoned his lover has now come back?"

(Warning: In this chapter, there is use of vulgar words).Trisha———Tightening my fist, I yanked the bedsheet of Xander and I bed, glaring so much at myself. Xander sat behind me on the bed, saying something that wasn't my problem, so I didn't listen to him.The thought of how my efforts failed, made me so enraged and frustrated. Why could I not be successful in doing one thing? Just one? First, I failed in maintaining my ugly marriage, and second, I failed in ruining Jace and Jill's relationship. What was all this?"Trisha!" Xander startled me as he called out my name.I sighed, and turned to him. "What's wrong with you, dude?" I complained, frowning so much at him."You're crazy." He shot me a harder glare, and hopped from the bed, sauntering to reach me. "What's the me

"What now?" He frowned. "You feel sorry for insulting me? You're trying to seduce me or what?"I pouted, and dropped a small kiss on his jawline. "Please baby. Forgive me. You know how stupid I could be when I get angry.""Very stupid," he remarked.I stared directly into his eyes. "So you forgive me?""I however can't be annoyed at you for too long." He stopped frowning, and sighed. "But honestly, if you think you'll control me, I'll prove to you that I can do something worse. I can expose you dear. I just can't take shit from anyone."I grinned at what he said, particularly grinning because I knew there was no next time for him. "Fine baby. I promise to not insult you as long as you're alive.""Good girl." He tweaked my cheek, and pulled away.Walking to the bed, he grabbed the papers he was working on, and continued t
Billionaire's Surrogate Eighty two: Phone call
Jace——Working on my laptop, I sat on my bed, and grabbed my phone to call my secretary. Shortly, I dialed her number, and waited for her to answer her phone as it rang."Hello sir. Good evening," she greeted, sounding quite grumpy. Ok, I could understand why she'd be grumpy. It was Sunday, and I was about to ask her to work?"I'm so sorry Brit," I apologized first, smiling at the tiredness in her voice. It was the first time I heard her sound so apathetic over the phone. Brittany was a really hard working person, and I so much liked her for it. Although I called her by her first name, I still gave her the full respect she deserved. I just wasn't used to being so formal with people I always stayed around with. It was one of the reasons I asked Jill to call me Jace, instead of Mr. Flores."There's no problem sir. What do you need?
Billionaire's Surrogate Eighty three: Investigation
I stared at the investigators as they scrutinized the room the culprit had died. It was almost eleven in the night, but I wanted to make sure to get what I needed to before day break. To be honest, I was so tired already, but I just couldn't risk my work, so I had to stay awake.I had bought this hotel a few weeks back, although it wasn't important to have it. I particularly bought it so Jill and I would spend the first day of our future honeymoon here. It was a decent and serene place for couples to relax in. The views from the balconies were so good, and I could tell that Jill would love it so much. I guessed I bought the place for her."Mr. Flores," someone called my name from behind.I exhaled faintly, and turned to the direction of the voice. As expected, it was one of the investigators. "Yes?" I replied.He walked closer to me, using a hanky to hold an empty glass cup. "Sir&he
