REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 61: The Man Who Should Not Have Saved Me
Vivian I stared up at David’s face and felt the ground tilt under me. The same eyes that once promised forever. The same mouth that told me to end four pregnancies. The same man who chose Charlotte and threw me out like I was nothing.Anger and fear crashed together inside my chest. I pushed hard against his shoulders.“Get away from me!” My voice came out sharp and loud. “Don’t touch me!”David moved back quickly, hands raised. “Vivian, wait— I only pushed you to save you. The car was going to hit you.”I scrambled to my feet. Pain shot through my shoulder and hip. My jeans were torn and dirty. Crushed tomatoes and spilled groceries lay scattered across the sidewalk. People from the store rushed out. Someone shouted for help. A woman pointed at the street where the dark car had disappeared.“Call the police!” a man yelled. “Someone tried to run her over!”Sirens already sounded in the distance. More people gathered. Phones came out. Voices rose. The sidewalk felt too small and too l

VivianI stared at the message until the words burned. You think you won today. You have no idea what’s coming next. My fingers tightened around the phone. Ella’s anger from the mall still echoed in my head, but this felt darker. I blocked the number again and set the phone face down on the nightstand.I went to my aunt's Beatrice room to check up on her and found her asleep.I closed the door slowly. "Vivian.oww... aunt you're awake, I came in and found you asleep, I didn't want to disturb you."it's fine my dear, how are you doing this morning?"I'm fine, Aunt. I just wanted to let you know that I'll be cooking Alexander's favorite meal—pasta, exactly the way he likes it. I want to stop by the grocery store this morning so he can have breakfast before leaving for the office."Aunt Beatrice studied me with a knowing smile. "Do you love him?"The question caught me completely off guard.My throat tightened, and I swallowed hard, suddenly fascinated by the floor beneath my feet. Heat
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 59: Words at the Mall
Morning light filled my room when I woke. The talk with Alexander the night before still sat warm in my chest. He had trusted me with the painful truth about Ella. That trust made me want to face the day with strength.After breakfast I told him I needed a few things from the shopping mall. Notebooks for work notes and a light jacket for the cooler evenings.Alexander looked worried. “Take Thomas with you. Please.”I shook my head gently. “It’s only a short trip. I’ll be careful. I promise to call if anything feels wrong.”He kissed me longer than usual at the door. “Come back soon.”The mall was bright and full of people. Soft music played from speakers. I walked past clothing stores and jewelry displays, choosing a simple notebook and a soft beige jacket. For a while the normal sounds of shopping helped me relax.I stopped at a small juice bar and ordered a cold mango drink. While I waited, a sharp voice spoke behind me.“Still shopping alone, I see.”I turned. Ella stood there in a

I stared at Ella’s message until the words burned into my eyes. He’s mine. Always has been. Leave before you get broken the same way I did. My hands trembled. I wanted to throw the phone across the room, but I forced myself to stay calm. I deleted the message and blocked the number, yet the unease stayed.I couldn’t sleep. After tossing for nearly an hour, I slipped out of bed, pulled on a light robe, and walked quietly down the hall. Soft light shone from under Alexander’s door. I knocked gently.“Come in,” he called.I stepped inside. Alexander sat in his wheelchair by the large window, looking out at the dark garden. When he turned and saw me, his face softened.“Couldn’t sleep either?” he asked.I nodded and closed the door behind me. “Ella sent me a message. It wasn’t kind.”His jaw tightened. He wheeled closer and took my hand. “I’m sorry. She has no right to contact you.” He guided me to sit on the edge of the bed so we were at the same level. “I need to tell you the full story
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 57: Trust and Desire
The next morning felt different. Lighter. Happier. I woke with a smile already on my face, the heart pendant warm against my chest. I chose a soft blue dress that hugged my waist and headed downstairs.Alexander was waiting in the dining room, looking at me the moment I entered. “There she is,” he said, his voice warm. “I missed you already.”I laughed and sat beside him. “We only said goodnight a few hours ago.”“Still missed you.” He leaned over and kissed me softly. Coffee and morning light mixed with the taste of him. My stomach fluttered.After breakfast we worked side by side in the office. Every time our eyes met, a small current of heat passed between us. At one point he wheeled closer and whispered, “I keep thinking about how you felt against me yesterday. Soft. Warm. Perfect.”My cheeks burned, but I smiled. “I keep thinking about it too.”By afternoon the house felt too quiet for all the feelings building inside me. We ended up on the balcony again, the same place where our

I woke the next morning with the heart pendant resting against my skin. Alexander’s gift felt warm and steady, like a quiet promise. I touched it and smiled. For the first time in a long while, the future didn’t scare me. It excited me.Downstairs, Alexander was already waiting with two cups of coffee. When he saw me, his whole face lit up. “Good morning, beautiful. Sleep well?”“I did,” I said, sitting close to him. “I kept thinking about last night on the balcony. The way you held me. The way you listened. It feels like we’re building something real.”He took my hand. “We are. And I want to keep building it. Today, I cleared my schedule. Just us.”We spent the morning walking the garden paths. Birds sang. The air smelled of roses. Every few steps Alexander would stop the wheelchair, pull me down for a soft kiss, and whisper something sweet. “Your smile makes the whole day better.” “I love how strong you are.” “I can’t wait to hold you longer tonight.”By afternoon the heat between u
