REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 53: Shadows from the Past
I stared at my phone screen until the words blurred. David’s message sat there like a dark cloud in an otherwise bright day. Vivian, it’s David. I need to talk to you. Please. I made a huge mistake. My stomach twisted. How did he get my new number? I deleted the message quickly, but it was too late. The words had already dug into my mind.I paced my bedroom, the yellow sundress from earlier now feeling too cheerful for how I felt. Last night’s warmth with Alexander—the kisses, the gentle touches, the honest talks—felt so fresh. I didn’t want David’s ghost ruining it. I sat on the edge of my bed and hugged a pillow tight. Memories flooded back. The four pregnancies I had ended because he promised a better future. The cold way his family had pushed me out. The divorce papers I signed in tears.“Why now?” I whispered. “Why after I’m finally starting to heal?”Morning light filled the room. I forced myself to get dressed in a simple blouse and jeans. Downstairs, the smell of breakfast gre

I woke up to soft sunlight filtering through the curtains. My body still felt warm from last night’s memories. The kiss. Alexander’s hands on my waist. The hardness I had seen pressing against his pants. I touched my lips, which still tingled a little. My cheeks heated up again. I had wanted more. So much more. But stopping had been the right thing. At least, that’s what I kept telling myself.I got out of bed and took a long shower. The warm water helped calm my racing thoughts. “You’re not ready yet, Vivian,” I whispered as I washed. David’s broken promises still lingered in the back of my mind. I couldn’t let myself fall too fast, even if Alexander made me feel things I hadn’t felt in years. Safe. Desired. Seen.After drying off, I chose a simple yellow sundress. It was bright and made me feel more confident. I brushed my hair until it shone and headed downstairs. The house was quiet, but I could smell coffee and fresh toast coming from the dining area.Alexander was already there,

I sat on the sofa with my hand still in Alexander’s, the movie credits rolling across the big screen. The romantic film had left a warm glow inside me. The couple’s story was so tender. They had started as strangers, shared quiet walks in the rain, laughed over burnt dinners, and slowly opened their hearts. Their love felt real—full of gentle touches, whispered promises, and that deep passion that built slowly until it overflowed. In the intimate scene, their bodies moved together with care and desire, eyes locked, breathing heavy, as if the whole world had disappeared. It stirred something in me I hadn’t felt in a long time. My skin felt flushed. A low heat pooled in my belly.I turned to Alexander, wanting to say something about the movie. “That was really beautiful, the way they—”My words stopped. My eyes drifted down for a second and I noticed the clear bulge in his pants. His cock had risen, pressing against the fabric. My breath caught. The movie had affected him too. Heat rush
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 50: Midnight Shadows
I tossed and turned in my big bed, the soft sheets tangling around my legs. Sleep would not come no matter how hard I tried. Every time I closed my eyes, the mall scene played again in my head. Marcus’s sleazy smile. His words about my crop top. The sharp sound of my slap. Then Thomas’s strong hand stopping him. And Alexander’s angry face in the wheelchair.“Why did I go out alone?” I whispered to the dark room. My heart felt heavy with mixed feelings—anger at Marcus, frustration with Alexander, and a strange warmth because he had shown up. I sat up and rubbed my face. The clock on the nightstand showed it was past midnight.I needed air. Fresh air to clear my racing thoughts. I slipped on my light robe over my nightdress and quietly opened the bedroom door. The hallway was dimly lit. My bare feet made soft sounds on the cool floor as I headed toward the balcony at the end of the wing.The night breeze greeted me as I stepped outside. It felt cool and soothing on my skin. I leaned on

Vivian's POVI stood frozen near the mall fountain, my shopping bags still clutched tightly in my hands. My heart raced from the slap and the man’s angry advance. Who had grabbed him? I turned my head and saw a tall, serious-looking man in a dark suit. It was one of Alexander’s servants, Thomas. His grip on Marcus’s shoulder was like iron.“Step back,” Thomas said in a low, firm voice. “Touch her again and you’ll regret it.”Marcus tried to twist away, his face red with fury. “Who the hell are you? This is none of your business!”Before things could get worse, two mall security guards rushed over. One of them, a stocky man with a badge, quickly stepped between them. “Break it up right now,” the guard ordered. “Sir, you need to calm down or we’re calling the police.”The other guard grabbed Marcus’s arm and pulled him back. “Let’s go. No fighting in the mall.”I let out a shaky breath. My cheeks still burned. People around us whispered and stared, but I barely noticed. My eyes searched
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 48: Unexpected Encounter
I pushed open the glass doors of the bustling shopping mall, the cool air from the AC brushing against my skin like a welcome relief from the afternoon heat outside. My sneakers squeaked softly on the polished floor as I adjusted the strap of my handbag. Today was supposed to be simple—just a quick trip to pick up a few things. A new notebook for work notes, some fresh fruits from the grocery section, and maybe a light scarf if I found one on sale. Nothing fancy. I needed this little break after the long hours at Alexander’s company.The mall was alive with chatter and the distant hum of music from the stores. I wandered into a clothing boutique first, my fingers trailing over soft fabrics. A pretty blue blouse caught my eye, but I shook my head. “Focus, Vivian,” I muttered to myself with a small smile. I grabbed a simple white top instead and headed to the checkout.“Hi, will that be all?” the cheerful cashier asked, scanning the item.“Yes, thanks,” I replied, handing over my card.
