REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 27: The price of sacrifice
Vivian's POVThe ride to the Blackstone mansion felt much longer than it really was.I sat quietly beside my aunt, Beatrice, watching the familiar streets pass by through the car window. Every corner reminded me of a memory I wished I could forget.I had once driven these same roads with David.We had laughed together.Dreamed together.Planned our future together.Now...I was returning as a stranger.My aunt reached over and gently squeezed my hand."Nervous?"I smiled faintly."A little.""You don't have to be.""I know.""But memories are difficult to silence."She nodded in understanding."They are.""But today isn't about memories.""It's about justice."I looked down at my hands.Justice.Did such a thing even exist anymore?The car slowed before the tall black gates of the Blackstone estate.The security guard stepped out of his booth.The moment he saw me, his eyes widened."Mrs..."He stopped himself halfway.His expression became awkward."Miss Vivian."I offered him a poli
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 26: Echoes of the past
Vivian's POVSleep refused to come.I lay on the unfamiliar bed, staring at the ceiling while the events of the day replayed over and over inside my mind.The mansion was quiet.Beyond the large windows, the night stretched endlessly, lit only by the soft glow of garden lamps.Everything around me felt peaceful.Yet my heart refused to rest.Every time I closed my eyes, Alexander's face appeared before me.The kindness in his voice.The patience in his eyes.The way he had caught me before I fell.No one had looked at me with such genuine concern in a very long time.I turned onto my side and buried my face in the pillow."What is happening to me?" I whispered.Only a few weeks ago, my entire world had revolved around David.Every dream I had built carried his name.Every sacrifice I made had been for our future.I had believed that if I loved him enough, he would never let me go.Instead...He had thrown me away as though I had never mattered.A bitter smile formed on my lips.How fo
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 25: A place called home
Vivian's POVMy aunt stood frozen beside me.Her eyes remained fixed on Alexander as he wheeled himself into the spacious living room with the same calm expression he always wore. The afternoon sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, casting a warm glow across the polished marble floor.For a long moment, no one spoke.Then my aunt covered her mouth with both hands."No..."Her voice trembled."It... it can't be..."Alexander frowned slightly, studying her face.There was confusion in his eyes at first.Then, slowly...Recognition replaced it."Aunt Beatrice?"His voice was barely above a whisper.My aunt's eyes immediately filled with tears."Alexander..."She took two hesitant steps forward, still unable to believe what she was seeing."It really is you."A warm smile spread across Alexander's face."It's been a very long time."I looked from one of them to the other, completely confused."You... know each other?"My aunt laughed softly through her tears.
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 24: A new beginning
Vivian's POVI woke with a sudden gasp.My chest rose and fell rapidly as I stared blankly at the white ceiling above me.The familiar scent of antiseptic filled my nose, while the rhythmic beeping of a heart monitor echoed softly through the quiet room.For a few seconds, I couldn't tell what was real.I touched my face.It was dry.No tears.No trembling hands.No Henry Blackstone kneeling before me.No Charlotte begging for forgiveness.No David being dragged away in handcuffs.I slowly closed my eyes again."It was just a dream..."The words escaped my lips in a whisper.A dream so vivid that it had felt frighteningly real.I could still remember every detail.The anger.The satisfaction.The revenge.The apology I had waited so long to hear.None of it had happened.A strange feeling settled inside me.Part of me felt relieved.Another part of me felt disappointed.Perhaps because, for a brief moment, I had believed David finally understood the pain he had caused me.But reality

Vivian's POVVoices.That was the first thing I heard.They sounded distant at first, like echoes traveling through a long tunnel."...her pulse is becoming stable.""She's opening her eyes.""Notify Mr. Kane."The voices became clearer with every passing second.My eyelids felt heavy.I struggled to lift them.A bright light greeted me, forcing me to blink several times before my vision slowly adjusted.The familiar white ceiling.The faint scent of antiseptic.The steady beeping of a heart monitor.I was back in the hospital.A dull pain spread across my forehead as I tried to remember what had happened.Then it came back.The street.The screeching tires.The blinding headlights.The impact.I instinctively touched my forehead.A bandage.Before I could think any further, the door opened.Alexander wheeled himself into the room.The moment our eyes met, relief washed over his face."You've finally woken up."His usually calm voice carried a trace of emotion."I was beginning to wor
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 22: The beginning of my revenge
Chapter 22: The Beginning of My Revenge (Part One)Vivian's POVI didn't look back.Not once.The heavy iron gates of David's mansion slowly closed behind me with a deep metallic sound that echoed through my chest.That sound...It felt like the final chapter of a life I could never return to.The morning sun had climbed higher into the New York sky, yet I felt colder than I ever had before.People walked past me as though I didn't exist.A young couple laughed while holding hands.An elderly man sat outside a café reading the newspaper.A little girl chased pigeons across the sidewalk while her mother laughed behind her.Life continued.The world hadn't stopped because my heart had broken.I smiled bitterly.Funny.When David was my whole world, I thought losing him would make the world stop spinning.It hadn't.It simply kept moving...Leaving me behind.My legs felt weak.Vivian's povThe injuries from the hospital had not fully healed, and every step reminded me that I had left be
