Jax drove me back home, making a series of phone calls on the way.

I couldn't even comprehend anything he said on the phone; the only thing I knew he kept saying on the phone was for them to update me.

After his call finally ended, I turned to him and asked, "Am I putting you through a lot of stress?"

He glanced at me and asked, "Did I say anything like that?"

"No. "You didn't, but... I'm starting to feel like I'm stressing you a lot, and that's the last thing I plan to do,"

  • REJECTED BY THE ALPHA, CLAIMED BY THE OUTCAST    Chapter 36: An Offer Too Good to Refuse

    AngelicaI woke up feeling so uneasy, the kind that sat there the moment my eyes opened and refused to leave. Lyra’s face kept flashing in my mind — I couldn't still wrap my head around the audacity she presented the contract termination with,I dragged myself out of bed, showered, and got dressed without really thinking about what I was putting on. Black jeans, a plain top, hair pulled back. Nothing special. My reflection in the mirror looked tired. The tracking watch on my wrist glowed a steady green. At least that was one thing not screaming at me this morning.By the time I reached the shop, Skylar was already there, eyes bright and laptop open.“You’re early,” I said, dropping my bag on the desk.“I couldn’t sleep.” She turned the screen toward me. “Look at this.”I leaned in. A new order had come through late last night, one fully customized high-end bike, paid in full through a corporate account. The amount made my eyebrows rise. Then I saw the follow-up message attached to i

    EthanI stared at Lyra for a long moment, “You met with her,” I repeated, my voice low. “Behind my back. And you tried to end the surrogacy.”She lifted her chin, arms crossed, that familiar defiant spark already burning in her eyes. “I offered her a clean way out. Her brother’s bills would have been covered and she refused." She paused,"Doesn't that tells you everything you need to know about her intentions?”I set my laptop aside slowly, deliberately. The screen still glowed with unfinished work, but none of it mattered right now. “You don’t get to make that decision. The child is mine and the contract too. For goodneed sake, you are not the one carrying it, and you are not the one who decides when it ends.”Lyra let out a short, humorless laugh. “Yours? Funny how quickly you claim it when it suits you. You barely looked at me when we first discussed a surrogate. Now suddenly it’s sacred.”I stood, closing the distance between us until she had to tilt her head back to meet my gaze.

    LyraAngelica's mere presence in this room irritated me. Her facial expressions and the way she sounded like she wanted Ethan here almost got me to sink my nails in her."Just sign the papers. That's the important part... Like I said, your brother's hospital bill will not be added as a debt for you to pay," I said, reassuring her of her fear."Or do you want to tell me that you actually want to be a surrogate mother for my husband?" I asked, making sure I emphasized the word "my husband.""I think he still has to be here, Mrs. Vance." She suddenly pushed the chair back. Looking me in the eye, she said,"I'll have to take my leave now, thank you." Then she walked out of the room.I bit my lips, trying so hard to stay calm.I reached for the envelope on the table and properly shoved the paper back in it before finishing my wine.A dry chuckle escaped my lips as a few thoughts ran through my mind.She definitely doesn't know that she's messy with the wrong person, and this contract that

    AngelicaThe rest of the day went by smoothly. I tried not to overwork myself so I don't feel stressed at the end of the day.After everything, Jax dropped me home, and I spent almost the rest of the day thinking about every event that went on today.It was undeniably good. I mean, at some point we were under a lot of pressure because of the orders, but we were able to pull off a significant amount, and I must say, Jax wasn't really as stern and hard as people might assume him to be; he seemed more soft, I mean softer than I imagined, and I must admit, that side of him was cute.As I settled into my bed, I subconsciously scrolled to his chat and texted, "Hey, are you home now?" I asked, waiting for him to respond, smiling sheepishly at my phone.I didn't even notice this until 5 minutes past, and I still got no reply from him.Finally, I left his chat and sat up, composing myself, "What the hell is wrong with me?" I asked, almost face-slapping myself.Before I could even scold myself

    EthanAfter leaving her building, I got to my car while the lawyer who brought in the suitcase hurried to my window. "I'm sure I didn't meet you here on time, sir," he apologized because I waited a while for him to join me here so we could head in together, but he was stalling, and one thing I hate is lateness."Don't let it repeat itself," I said, turning on the engine of my car."It won't, sir. "I promise," he murmured, and then I zoomed off immediately.I drove down to my house and, surprised, I found Caleb on my couch."What the fuck are you doing here?" I thundered, completely enraged."Can't I visit my brother? I mean, it's not like we're at war," he said.I turned to my butler, arching my brows. "Why did you let my brother in? Do you want to lose your job?" I asked,"I'm sorry, sir, but he came in with your wife, so I didn't really have much to say about it," he said immediately. I looked around for my wife, but soon started hearing noises in the kitchen, but before I could mak

    Angelica"Ethan, you have to leave; you can't tell me what to do, and I mean it. You have to get your arse out of here," I said. I honestly would have called the security on him, but I couldn't even do that because she let almost everyone in because we couldn't afford them anymore."I won't, and Jax paying for any part of your brother's bill was not part of the deal...""Do you want to know something that wasn't part of the deal too?" I snapped. "You're delaying the hospital bills. "My brother needed it, yet you claimed to be withholding it because you wanted to keep me in line," I said, causing Ethan to narrow his eyes.I was already convinced that he didn't care about any other thing but himself and anything about him."You haven't changed, Ethan, and it's not like I expected you to change, but I want you far away from me. I made that clear: what I decide to do is none of your business," I said, but he refused to listen, claiming that everything I decided to do while this baby is s
