Sixty five: Accomplice
Like the confused person she was, she kept staring dumbly at me. It was so annoying because I didn't have enough time to keep staring at her. Maybe I had to break the silence first.
"How are you doing?" I kept my sneer, and walked to her front.
"Wh— what are you doing here?" She asked, avoiding eye contact with me, again.
I stretched my hand for a handshake. "Hi. It's nice meeting you. You must be Jill's friend, right?"
"Hey." She hesitated before accepting my hand. Well, if she accepted it, I could still try to cajole her to work with me.
"It might seem quite weird to see me in such a place," I said, then she turned to me.
"It's not weird. Jill told me that you aren't with your husband anymore. She's with him now." She informed me, which kind of made me angry. Wow, so Jill was truly with my husband?

JillMassaging Mrs. Flores palm, I grinned at her and she did the same. "It feels like a dream," she said, probably for the seventh time.I chuckled at that, and said nothing, taking a glimpse at Jace who sat on the other side of her bed, staring at his mom like his life depended on her."Can you just forget about that now?" He requested, joking. "I don't trust you when you speak like this. It's either you end up teasing me for it, or you overthink on all of this.""Oh my boy." She sighed, and tapped his arm gently. "You seriously don't know how happy it makes me feel to know that you're free from that girl. She was a terrible bondage, you know? Thinking about her dominance over you always made me bitter. I constantly prayed that you'd get rid of her one day. God heard my prayers. I'm just so happy.""We're all happy," he told her, and glanced at me. "I gue
Billionaire's Surrogate Sixty seven: Shocked to see me?
Trisha———I watched as Beth spoke to the Dylan guy over the phone. Things were starting to get really good for me. I couldn't help but keep on smiling at how foolish she was, and how smart I was."The security is quite tight over there," she informed him, sounding quite bothered for some unknown reason. "I don't know how you'll do it but try to disguise yourself. The social media says that there'll be a dinner party there tonight. So I don't know if you can pretend to be a worker or something."I simpered harder, and bit my lower lip to prevent myself from bursting out in laughter. So she was sensible enough to tell him to disguise himself? Kudos to her! What a foolish friend she was. Betrayal was one of the reasons I had no friends. I didn't trust them at all. Due to the fact that I used to deceive my husband, I always had great fear that if I had a frien
Billionaire's Surrogate Sixty eight: Truth.
"Jill," Jace called for a second time, and I hesitated before turning to him. What could I do at this point? I obviously couldn't pretend like I knew nothing about what Dylan was saying, and I also couldn't say "yes" to it."Yes?" I lowered my head, avoiding eye contact with him."Is this true? I mean, how can he be Liam's father. You once told me Liam's father is dead," he sounded angry and shocked.I swallowed hard, and turned to him. "I— I told you I want to speak to you. So please can you—""I asked you one question," he interrupted me as I spoke, frowning already. "Is he speaking the truth?" He asked again.I moved closer to him, and blinked away the tears that filled my eyes. "C— can you please dismiss everyone first? I don't want anything to cause and havoc here." I whispered.He shut his eyes, flared his nose to exp
Billionaire's Surrogate Sixty nine: Still broken
Trying to ignore the killing pain in my head, I stood up from my seat to grab my phone from the side couch in my study room. Obviously, I knew I needed someone to get me some medicine, but I just wasn't ready to have anyone around.About to reach my phone, someone knocked on the door. I wanted to ignore it because I knew it was probably going to be Jill, but I decided to ask the person to come in.Turning to look at who it was, I dropped on the couch, and stared at Ace as he walked in. "What's up dude?" He greeted, sauntering to me as he held a drink in his hand.I sighed, and leaned the back of my head on the couch. "I'm not okay. Obviously." I told him the truth."Guy…" He sat on the couch opposite to mine, and dropped his drink on the side table. "Why are you being like this? You know this isn't you.""I don't think I'm being a bad person here."
Billionaire's Surrogate Seventy: Didn't work.
"So please ensure that you stay with your dad all the time, ok?" I instructed Liam as I helped him to wear his backpack."Ok," he replied, smiling so much, and looking really happy.I raised him to my lap, and cuddled him. "I'll miss you so much baby," I said."I'll miss you too." He returned my friendly hug.Thinking about the fact that I wasn't going to see him in a few weeks, I wanted to tear up. When Dylan had left to see Jace earlier, he returned, and told me that he needed to tell me something. He looked quite hesitant, so I thought it was probably bad news about speaking to Jace. But, it wasn't. He only asked for my permission to stay alone with Liam for a while. He said he needed to get to know his son more, and pay for the mistakes he had made in the past.At first, I didn't want to accept it, but then, I thought it was a good idea. At least
Billionaire's Surrogate Seventy one: Let's. End. It.
Getting overly uncomfortable at how he fixed his eyes on mine, I turned away from looking at him, lowering my head to stare at nothing specific. Unexpectedly, he moved a little closer, which made me cling to the door. Why was I being so uncomfortable suddenly?"What have you come here for?" He finally spoke.I sighed anxiously, "I— I want to speak to you," and stuttered.Uninformed, he played his index finger to my face, and gently raised my jaw to face him. "Why averting from looking at me?" He huffed. "Is someone feeling guilty here?""I have to speak to you first. I think you should at least give me a chance to explain myself," I spoke straight.He removed his finger from my jaw, and shrugged. "That statement is something so familiar. Everyone has always asked me for a chance. So I expect such.""But you're getting it all wron
Billionaire's Surrogate Seventy two: I. Warned. You
(Warning: Violent scene ahead. Sorry if it seems annoying)Trisha———Waiting for Xander by a corner in the hotel I always stayed in, I tapped my feet on the ground, being as impatient as ever. He had told me to wait in the parking lot of the hotel so we'd go on an outing, only for him to delay me.Being overly frustrated, I grabbed my phone from my purse, and dialed his number."Is someone being impatient?" A thick voice sounded in my ear, and a strong arm jerked my waist from behind."Irritating man." I twirled to have my front on him, glaring at his calm eyes."Sorry baby." He raised his finger to run it through my hairline. "I had to ensure I look so good. Very soon, I'll be the CEO of a new company. I need to start looking good, you know? Jus
Billionaire's Surrogate Seventy three: Emergency.
Jill——"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
