Forced To Be The Billionaire’s Surrogate Chapter 019
AVA’S POV.I pounced on my bed, heaving a deep breath. That conversation escalated into a quarrel real quick, and I was at fault.My emotions were all over the place and coupled with the dream I had, I just felt like releasing all my frustration on him. He just… Why did he have to blast out of nowhere screaming at me when I was still having a hard time defining what the heck was going on between us?I had to apologize. Tomorrow I was going to be in the same office with him and this tension between us won’t help. After minutes or perhaps hours of contemplating, I strode out through my door, as I headed to his home office. My hand rose to knock on his door, “Ma'am. He's not in.” One of the men told me curtly, and my hand fell. I turned to look at him, “Do you have any idea where he might have gone?” I asked, my voice low and calm. “I’m afraid I do not know that, ma'am.” Right. That was pointless. Why did I even ask?I left the hall, looking around, but eventually decided to go out

AVA’S POV.I pushed the door open, striding into the room, heading to my closet. “Sweater, sweater….” I muttered continuously, as my fingers brushed through the clothes. There it was, hiding behind a dress. I snatched it, and closed the closet door. However, before I could turn, a shrill sound rang out, and my eyes were drawn to the bed stand, where a phone lit the room.Wait, that wasn't mine. I walked to it, peering down into the screen. Then the call ended abruptly, and I saw 29 missed calls. This was Emily's. “So forgetful.” I muttered, shaking my head fondly, as I kicked up the phone. Almost immediately, a message came in. I wasn't going to look, but… I saw it anyway.What?! My fingers went weak instantly, and the phone slipped out of my hand, clattering to the floor. My feet fell back, as my heartbeat rose, pounding in my chest as I kept staring at the phone, with trembling parted lips. I kept swallowing, trying to calm myself down, but it seemed impossible. My body was

AVA'S POV “No….please no!!!” I yelled as I jolted up from my sleep, my body drenched in sweat despite the air conditioners, Zayn who was sitting on the chair beside me was also awake as he came closer to the bed.“Are you okay?” He asked, concern etched on his face and I nodded, still reeling from the dream.I heaved a deep breath, “it’s just a dream” I spoke up, my voice cracking as the tears threatened to fall. These days I was becoming an emotional mess and I hated it so much; perhaps because of the pregnancy.“Care to share?” He asked, breaking me away from my thoughts and I turned to face him, “It’s nothing, just a replica of what happened hours ago”.“It’s fine, don’t let that bother you. She’s gone now. If anyone else is going to come after you, I’ll get them before they can get to you” He assured me, stroking my hair gently. I settled back into my bed,“But she said something.” “Who?” “Emily.” I started to say, my voice low and calm. “She's following orders. Someone made h

AVA'S POV “What the fuck are you doing here?” Zayn yelled, his tone icy as he stared daggers at the lady who had just walked in. “And what happened to knocking before walking into someone's office?” I stood there frozen, unsure of what to do. The lady walked closer, her eyes on me as she scanned me from head to toe before turning back to face Zayn, “That’s not how to greet your sist…” She was still saying when Zayn cut her short.“Step-sister! And you’re yet to tell me what you’re doing in my office”. Zayn had a sister? But why was he so angry? “Stop barking Zayn, you might scare the pretty lady here” She started to say, a girl formed on her face, “Who’s she and where’s your supposed fiancée?”Zayn's face darkened, “None of your business, Cassandra!” He responded, his voice cold and detached. “And now if you would excuse me, I have important things to attend to, Get out!”The tension was so thick as they both stared at each other, not breaking contact. Shit. This was a very awkwa

AVA’S POV After lunch break, the day ran by quickly. It was already night and I believed almost everyone had ended their day. My gaze lingered on Zayn’s office door, he hasn’t come out or spoken to me since I rejected the offer to eat lunch with him.I looked at the clock, 8:50pm. What was he still doing? Or perhaps he was asleep?After a few minutes of waiting to see if he would come out, I finally stood up and headed straight to his office, knocking softly before pushing the door open. He was seated in his chair, going through some files, he didn’t even look up, “Mr. Beckham, it's almost 9pm” I started to say, my voice low and calm, “I want to go home”. I added, but he didn’t respond, Instead he continued flipping through the pages of the file he was holding.“I’m sorry if I’m disturbing, but it’s quite late and…..” I trailed off, he wasn’t even listening to me and I could feel my frustration rise. “You know what, don’t bother. Carter will take me home and return to come pick you

AVA'S POV My mind was already jumbled, and I couldn’t bear to witness another argument between them, “Goodnight” I muttered before walking out and heading straight to my room.As I entered my room, I collapsed on my bed, feeling extremely weak and exhausted. My eyelids drooped and felt heavy, and I let out a deep breath. The ceiling above me became a blur as my gaze drifted lazily, and before I knew it, I slipped into a deep sleep. I woke up the next morning, feeling a bit disoriented and hazy. As I sat up, my gaze fell on a small note on my bed stand, “Hey, I didn't want to wake you up since you looked tired, Carter will take you to the hospital. I have an important meeting to attend to, sorry I couldn’t accompany you. —Zayn”I guess this was his way of apologizing for the stunt he pulled yesterday. Stretching my arms, I got down from my bed and headed to the bathroom. In no time, I was ready and walked out of my tell only to bump into Cassandra.“Oh…. I’m sorry. I was about to c

AVA’S POV“So Ava, I’ll prescribe some drugs for the weakness, and I’ll also recommend gyming for you, it helps a lot during pregnancy”. Doctor Kimberly said as we all exited the test room. Cassandra and I branched at the pharmacy to get the drugs before returning to the car, I had to convince her not to say a word to Zayn.I just had to look for the perfect way to start a conversation, “Cass…” I was about to say when she cut in.“You still seem so dazed.” She began to say, “I know it's awkward since it's your first time having a child. I mean, children, but I guess the news is so good you can't believe it.” She chuckled, turning the wheel.“No. I've… I've been thinking about something else.” I said, fidgeting hard with my fingers.This was an opportunity. I had to seize it. “What is that?”“About the triplets, can you please not tell Zayn? I want it to come as a surprise, or perhaps tell him myself”.She looked at me for a while, with parted lips, but eventually looked away. “Hmm,

ZAYN’S POV I woke up to an ear-piercing scream, “Zayn!” Sophia shrieked, her voice echoing through the room. Fucking hell! This had to be the first time I was sleeping properly since this week, and she just had to interrupt it. Ava was seated at the edge of the bed quietly.Sophia turned to face me, her eyes blazing with anger “What the hell are you doing in her bed?”. She screeched, her chest heaving heavily, and fire breezing through her nostrils. I grudgingly stood up from the bed, ignoring her questions. She wasn’t going to barge in here after a month of ignoring my calls and asking me silly questions. “You're not about to walk out on me, are you?” She asked, her fingers tightening around the arm of my shirt. “Tell me why I’m coming back home to see my fiancée with this Slu..”I cut her short, “Don’t you dare complete that statement!” I thundered, my voice cold and detached, “I owe you no explanation, Sophia” I jerked my arm out of her hold, with a look of contempt on my face

ZAYN I stood at the entrance of the door about to enter when Carter burst out, “Mr. Beckham? Did we disturb your sleep?”My eyes scanned the room in search of someone—Ava.But I couldn’t see anything aside from blonde curls. That was definitely not Ava. She had black hair. Had I been wrong all along? “Mr. Beckham?” Carter's voice interrupted me from my thoughts and I chuckled slightly to cover up, “I heard noise and thought to check if everything was okay.”“Everything is fine. Just arranging a few stuffs.” He replied, and my gaze flickered to his hands, it was bloody. He noticed where my eyes were and quickly hid his hands behind, “Carter, that is blood? Are you sure…”“I said everything is fine, Mr. Beckham. Please leave! Go and rest or something, you’re interfering in my privacy.” He blurted out, making me startle. I was about to speak again when he shut the door in my face. What the hell? I retraced my footsteps back to the room I’d been assigned to. No matter how I tried,

AVAI had just finished breaking down in the restroom. It wasn’t seeing him that made me so emotional, it was the fact that he never gave up. He travelled miles away just to search for me. I made a silent prayer that he would understand that wink. As much as I wanted to run into his arms and hug him tightly, I needed him to tread carefully with Carter.Because the Carter I’ve stayed with these days is a very careful and dangerous man. Currently in the books, he was the good one, my supposed passport shows I am his wife with other documents he had managed to forge. Thankfully, Zayn was able to handle the situation well. Carter stared at him, and I was sure he had already started having doubts about Zayn coming here, “Mr. Beckham…” he began and Zayn interrupted him, “Call me Zayn, no need for formalities anymore.”Carter clenched his fists underneath the chair. He was barely able to hide the hatred and disdain he hadfor Zayn. “Zayn. The thing is that, I enjoy my quiet space, and yo

ZAYN It’s been a week since I arrived in Abu Dhabi. I had made sure that the kids were safe with Cassandra. She hasn’t given me any reason to doubt her and, moreover, she was the only person I could trust with them. Noah had given me the necessary details on their particular location and even went as far as finding out Carter’s Favorite restaurant. But it’s been a week now and no progress. I came here day and night, sometimes I just sat outside. Other times, I pretended to be a guest, ordering black coffee I barely touched, all this just to get a glimpse of Carter. It was exhausting—and fruitless. Until today. I bumped into a lady and had just turned to apologize when the words got caught in my throat. This can’t be. Her eyes, those lips—Ava. It was difficult to see her face because of her clothing choice and just as I was about to speak up, a familiar voice interrupted me. “Mr. Beckham?” I froze once more as I turned. Lo and behold, Carter was standing bef

AVAI’ve lost count of how many days I've stayed here. Escaping proved more difficult than I thought it would. The other day I found out that Carter had changed my name, and even created a new passport.How he was able to do that in my unconscious state still amused me. Everything about the house was creepy, from the colors of the room, to the old maid, to the numerous bodyguards. Who knew Carter, Zayn's supposed bodyguard and trusted servant, could be this rich? I’ve not been allowed to leave the house and anytime I ask why, Carter's excuse was that I am not strong enough to start moving out. And when I persisted, he said I didn’t have the right clothes to go out with. And so today, he decided to get me the ‘RIGHT’ clothes. The sound of his horn broke me away from my thoughts. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me he’d arrived. I hurriedly went into the room and laid down on the bed. In no time, the door was open ajar and Carter walked in. This has been the normal routine of com

CASSANDRA I stepped out of the house for the first time in two months. I couldn’t leave the kids for a second with the fear that my mother would strike. Seconds, minutes, days and now two months, I have cried every night and woken up to different nightmares. Her face haunted me—I could still remember how she looked when she found out I had betrayed her. Guilt was killing me slowly, and it only worsened when I looked into Zayn’s eyes. I see him struggling every time, the other day I found him crying in the garden. The last time I’d seen him like this was when he lost his mother, and it hurts that I partook in his pain. I was stupid, wicked and misled. Sometimes I felt like coming clean, but that will make him hate me and distance me from the kids I’d vowed to protect with my life. And now, I was in my car, going to see the mastermind behind all this—Rebecca Beckham. My mother. I was done hiding, it was time to stand up to her. It was a three-hour journey and

ZAYN It’s been 74 fucking days since I last saw her. Papers, files, documents, and lots more were scattered on the table, all contained clues and places I’d already searched. But I wasn’t stopping anytime soon.If I have to, I’ll search the whole world for her. I refused to accept that she died. It seemed too convincing. The shrill of my phone rang loudly, and I didn’t bother checking it, “Any news?” I asked, immediately, my voice hoarse from days without proper rest. It was my agent, Noah. “No sir.” He responded, “But one thing is confirmed, she is not in the waters. In all my years of expertise, if someone dies in the water, the current always returns to the body after a few days, a week, or even a month. But in Ava’s case, there’s nothing to show even after continuous searching.”I heaved a sigh of relief. This was what I wanted to hear—that she didn’t die in the water, that’s why I asked them to search.This was also confirmation that Ava was RESCUED. She had been pulled out,

AVA The door creaked open, and I shut my eyes immediately, pretending to be asleep. I could hear footsteps coming closer to where I laid. And then—strong, sweaty hands roamed around my body and I felt like I was being pricked by a needle. I already knew who it was…his fragrance was choking the hell out of me. His hands reached my chest and I stiffened. What did he want to do? My heart was racing and just as I was about to hit his hands off, the shrill of his phone rang. His hands left my body as he stood up, I heaved a deep breath. “Blackwood speaking.” His irritating voice spoke out, and I peeked my eyes open to see him by the window. “I can’t believe it worked. The universe seems to work in my favor.” I froze, my ears listening attentively, I couldn’t hear what the other person was saying but from Carter's response, I already had an idea. “She doesn’t remember a thing, Noah!” He squealed in delight and I tightened my hands underneath the bed. “I’m not let

AVA What was he saying? Christopher? My husband? Why was Carter telling lies to me? Or were we in any sort of trouble?Every nerve in my body screamed at me to react, to shout, to call out the lie—but I didn’t. Something about the way he was looking at me…the way his words were so carefully chosen… told me this wasn’t just a misunderstanding.This was a setup.My heart was racing beneath the calm facade I put on my face. The last thing I could recall was the sound of the gunshot…falling from the cliff and sinking deep into the river. And then…darkness clouded by vision. But here I was, Alive and Awake with Carter spilling lies to me. My eyes scanned around the room before landing back on Carter, he had a smug expression on his face. “Where are we?” I asked, my voice low.My body ached so bad, especially my legs and I could barely sit upright. “My love, we are home.”Home? This didn’t look like home. The vicinity didn’t even look familiar, and it made me wonder where I was.

CARTER.United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, Cleveland Clinic, 9am. The sound of the beeping machines was the only thing that could be heard in the room. I walked to where she was laying down…looking so pale but her beauty remained untouched. She was still as beautiful as ever. Infact the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. I heaved a deep breath taking a seat beside her, my eyes fixed on her. I couldn’t stop wondering— what if I didn’t get there in time? When I called that fateful day, and she didn’t pick my calls, I knew something was wrong. My men confirmed it when they spotted her car speeding out of her house. We tracked her location but by the time I got there, it was already too late. The divers began their work and Ava was found deep in the water. It was a miracle that she still had a faint heartbeat. We made sure to clean all our tracks before leaving the vicinity. Treatment commenced immediately in New York but when I discovered Zayn still believed she was alive I had t
