Seventy three: Emergency.

"You've got to be decisive. What's wrong with you?" Shanice scolded, sounding so worried.
"I don't know," I told her, and sat on the empty space beside her on the couch. "I've been thinking about what to do for a while now. Nothing just seems to be working. Can you seriously blame me?"
"But it's your decision to make." She frowned a little, and tapped my arm. "I seriously hate the way you're stagnant. And to worsen it all, Jace isn't seeming like he's ready to change his mind. Maybe you should just let go."
I sighed, and moved closer to her, wrinkling my face to express my dilemma. "It's so hard babe. I don't know how it happened, but I feel like I'm too used to him. I don't know how to get rid of this love. I even feel stupid because of it."
"So what do you want to do?" She worried more. "I just hate how things a

Wandering in front of the intensive care unit, Shanice and I couldn't help but keep on being so anxious. Personally, I still felt so guilty. All I hoped was for the surgical operation to work out fine."All this probably wouldn't have happened if we let her stay with us," Shanice mumbled as she leaned her back against the wall, running her palm through her hair, and weeping so much.I hurried to her, and grasped her hands. "Let's be positive," I said to her. "She'll be fine. At least, the doctor and nurses are working on her. It's not like there's no hope.""But she seemed so weak!" She retorted, tearing up more. "She couldn't even say anything!""Calm damn," my voice was so shaky, literally holding much fear. "Let's just be positive. We've got no other choice."She sobbed, and rubbed her palm against her eyes. About to move close to her to keep her in my embrace, the

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
Billionaire's Surrogate Seventy six: Love.
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
Billionaire's Surrogate Seventy seven: You're pregnant.
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,
Billionaire's Surrogate Seventy eight: I told him.
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?"
Billionaire's Surrogate Eighty: Eliminate him
(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
