His Surrogate

Zoey's Pov"Hey Emma. I'm so sorry for calling you up, I know you must be busy with some work but I need your help." I said over the phone to my best friend and housemate, Emma.It's my fiance Julian's birthday. I already brought him a cake, but am lost on what else to add to it. Am not that good at buying gifts for males. Emma is an expert since she's been in a couple of relationships, while Julian is my first love and first date."Seriously, Zoey? You've been with Julian for two years now, and you still don't have any idea how to buy gifts for a male?" Emma said, making me roll my eyes.Am not ready for her lecture now. Yeah, me and Julian have been dating for close to two years now. And he just engaged me last month, but I am still terrible at buying gifts for male. Not to talk more about my fiance."Are you helping out or not?" I asked, and I could swear she rolled her eyes at me."Where are you now?" She asked."I'm in front of a mall, I just got out after buying the cake." I tol

Zoey's PovThese past few weeks have been really stressful for me, both physically and mentally. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind, and my life is a mess. Heartbreak is really the worst, I give salutes to all those women out there who have dealt with countless heartbreaks.Julian kept calling me, wanting to sort things out. But I ignored all his calls, and texts. One day he showed up on my doorstep, I gave him an earful and it gave me the courage to throw his engagement ring to his face, and called off our relationship for good.I felt more broken on that day, but Emma comforted me and told me what I did was the best thing. Along with dealing with my heartbreak, I think I've fallen really sick. I've been feeling extremely tired these days, even when I don't stress much at work.I do have regular stomach cramps, thinking it could be my monthly flow but it's not. I find myself feeling so dizzy every now and then, and I happen to be sleeping a lot these days. And I threw up on eve

Zoey's PovAfter Emma gave a knock twice, she opened the door and walked in. I exhaled before following her inside. I felt my tension raising up at the sight of him sitting there, relaxing into his chair at the desk."You may both take a seat." He offered, gesturing to the seats in front of his desk.He seemed calm in his voice, but his facial looks said a totally different thing. I and Emma both settled in the seats in front of his desk. I don't know, but I can't pull my gaze away from him.Maybe I'm expecting a reaction from him to indicate that he recalls me, but there was none.Or is he pretending not to recall me?"Who are you, and how can I help you?" He asked, resting his arm on his desk."You don't recall me?" I blurted out, staring straight into his eyes.I don't know what on this planet earth gave me such courage, but I think my curiosity did. Aside from that, it's hard to pull out of his gaze, like it's pulling me to it."No, I don't. So explain yourself for I have work to

Zoey's PovI can't believe Rowan Weston called me, and he is in Central City LA, just to see me. Just the thought of that sends shivers down my spine.Am not sure why am feel that way!How did he get my number in the first place?!Well, like he said. He got contacts.Why does he want to see me outta the blue?!If he flew all the way to this place to try and offer me the same offer he made at his office, he will regret ever knowing me.Work hours were over, so I picked up my handbag and made my way outta the hospital to my car. I got in and placed my handbag at the passengers seat. I brought out my phone and quickly texted Emma that I'll home a bit late.I don't want to tell her I'll be meeting up with Rowan. I will first hear what he has to say, then I'll tell her. I started my car and made my way to the venue I texted him.Arriving at the cafe I texted him, I parked at the parking area which seemed empty which was really weird. All my years of knowing this cafe, it's parking area has

Zoey's Pov"Emma, don't you think this is a little too much?" I asked as I stared at myself in a mirror.I am putting on a short black short sleeve gown. My hair in a tight bun, and little strand hanging at my face sides. A bit heavy makeup.I seriously look like someone going on a date."How is it much? You look perfect." Emma said, admiring how she had styled me.I rolled my eyes."I am only going to sign a contract, not going out on a date." I stated.After calling Rowan three days ago to inform him that I accepted, we picked a date when he'll be free and come down to my city so I'll sign the contract. This happens to be the evening it happens, but my dear friend is making it seem like it's a date and got me so dressed up."Even if it isn't a date, you can't look like a rag in front of the Rowan Weston." Emma said, narrowing her eyes at me when I turned to face her."You make it sound like I'm going to meet God." I said, I really don't know why she says his name with so much admira
