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."

"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
Billionaire's Surrogate Seventy four: Gone.
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
Billionaire's Surrogate 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
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,
