Thirty: Quarrel
Jill
Stepping out of the kitchen in Shanice's house, holding a tray of the cookies I had baked, I joined her and Beth in the living room.
"It's been a while since I've seen you Beth." I said to Beth in mouthful of cookies, and dropped the tray on the centre table.
Beth dropped her phone on her seat and grabbed some cookies from the tray. "Yep girl." She said, and began to crunch a cookie.
"Well I see her almost everyday." Shanice added from her seat, staring at her phone like her life depended on it.
"Duh duh." Beth hummed and continued to read through her magazine. She was a big fan of magazines, and goodness knew why.
I sighed and moved closer to Shanice on the couch she was sitting on, and tapped her shoulder to get her attention to me.
"What?!" She whined and hit her hands against mine, so I co

JACEWith a great deal of fear and anger, I tightened my fist more, being so short of words. I probably didn't hear her properly. What was going on? Something was definitely wrong somewhere. My Trisha couldn't do such.Panting terribly and frowning so much, I jerked her arm and tugged her close to me. "What is going on?!" I asked, my breath slowly whipping off."J-Jace?" Her voice was shaky, holding a great thrust of fear. "What's it? What's wrong?" She asked dumbly.I glared harder, my nose, eyes and lips wrinkling so much from how vexatious I was. "Are you crazy? Don't pretend now. I heard you! I heard you speak to some idiot now!""What are you saying?" She creased her brows like she was confused.I tightened my tug against her arm, and that made her groan. "Stop this game of yours. What's all this?!" I yelled.

Trisha--------Walking in the hallway of the hotel Xander and I frequently stayed, I smiled broadly at myself, feeling so proud of how well my game went.I used my card to open the door of our hotel room, and stepped in. The first thing I did was to scan my eyes through the place in search of Xander, but surprisingly, I found him nowhere close. That was quite weird, because I only called him a few minutes ago. How could he possibly be missing now?About to dial his number to send him a call, I stopped when I felt his arms curving around my neck. I shut my eyes and smiled, deeply inhaling the sweet fragrance from his body."Why did you take so long?" His husky tone held flirtatiousness as he pressed a kiss against my ear, and moved his lips down to my neck to dunk kisses into it."Oh baby." I raised his arms from my
Billionaire's Surrogate Thirty-three: What is going on here?
She kept her stare at me, and furrowed her eyebrows into a small frown. All I did was to look at her with quivering eyes. Her questions definitely cut my throat. What was I going to do? How did she even get here in the first place?"I asked you a question Trisha." She reminded me that I needed to speak. But what could I say?"Well ma, this person is…" I said in a stutter, but stopped when Xander walked closer to her."Is this your mom, Trisha?" He asked as he grinned at her.I chuckled nervously. "Yes she is. She's my mom. I mean, my mother-in-law.""Oh nice." He said, and stretched his hand for a handshake. Good for me, he was smart enough to grasp that he had to put on an act. "Nice meeting you ma'am. My name is Xander. I'm Trisha's colleague at her office.""Colleague?" She raised an eyebrow at him, obviously still doubting me. "But how can a

I let Jill leave my grip, and exhaled hard before turning to face Trisha. All Trisha did was to remain frozen in her position and say nothing to us.Turning back to Jill, I noticed how she suddenly looked so pale and nervous, and that irritated me so much. What the heck? Did we do anything bad by holding each other?"What was that?" Trisha finally spoke from where she was standing. "Why were you holding each other? Why were you both so close? What was the meaning of that nonesense?""What nonesense?" I retorted, shooting her a dead scowl and folding my arms across my chest, showing a lot of uninterest to whatever she had to say.She huffed, and lurched unsteadily to us. "You know I saw you both right? I saw you being close." She said.I snorted. "And so? What's wrong with that? What if I'm close to her? Do you care?Letting out another huff,
Billionaire's Surrogate Thirty-five: Luster Boyfriend
Trisha"And the investments…" I heard Xander say that, and then, I trailed off into my immense thoughts.If there was a word greater than "shocked" that could explain how I felt when Jace yelled back at me days back, then that word was definitely going to be an overly great one.I was just so amused to see him finally supporting that girl with so much ardency. I had truly never seen him that angry, or that uninterested in me. And the worst thing was that he didn't even seem to be moved by my menace and shouts. He ignored it all.But the thing that made me confused was the fact that I actually felt weird and angry about the whole thing. Sincerely, I didn't like the way I saw that idiot so close to my husband. I didn't love him, but I almost felt jealous. I was truly angry that day, I wasn't playing around. But how in the world was it even possible that I cared
Billionaire's Surrogate Thirty-six: Jace, I...
JACE"Ouch! That hurts." Jill cried, and that made me chuckle silently at her. Funny enough, she heard me. She flared her nose and hissed at me."I'll break those teeth of yours." She threatened, and I winked playfully at her."Ouch ouch ouch!" She groaned further."Sorry ma'am. It'll only take a while." The doctor said to her as he did something I didn't understand, to her skin.In a short while, he was done with what he was doing, leaving Jill to grumble at herself."Mr. Flores." He called after packing his medical equipment into his medical box. "Today makes the pregnancy three months and a half."As he said that, my heart skipped a beat. Why was he telling me that? Did he want to break bad news?"And from the test I took yesterday," He continued to speak, not we
Billionaire's Surrogate Thirty-seven: Truth; he's broken.
Alright. It seemed like I had had enough of seeing her being so hesitant. It wasn't even like she was speaking to someone else. She was literally speaking to me."What's the problem Jill? I don't think I appreciate the fact that you're pausing at every interval. Can you please speak in words?" I protested, being as cool as possible.She exhaled hard again. "I seriously don't want you to feel hurt, but I'll just have to be truthful." She said, still looking hesitant."Ok. Go on." I became more fearful."The thing is," She started to speak. "I don't want to be the one to comfort you anymore. I'm sick of it. Like, I'm tired of being uncomfortable. It's... it's not too good."I kept my stare, unable to say anything to her. What was she saying? She was probably joking around with me.Uncontrollably, I chuckled. "Gosh Jill, you're so good at actin
Billionaire's Surrogate Thirty-eight: Get out.
JILL"I'm obviously so stupid. I'm really dumb Shanice." I cried as I had my head on her lap.She chuckled. "I told you before, didn't I? I told you to stop pretending like you don't know your feelings. I knew your pretence would cause a problem.""I don't have any feelings for the guy. I don't. Stop making me feel worse." I lamented, almost crying already.She raised her hand to soothe my hair, and she chuckled again. "I understand you babe. I get the fact that my bestie's never going to admit how she feels.""Stop!" I whined, which made my voice echo in my large room. "Stop Shanice. Please. Let's just talk about what I'll do right now. I'm so upset. Jace and I haven't spoken to each other for two days, but it seems like forever.""That's it." She snapped her fingers in the air. "That's what I'm talking about, girl. When you like
