Timothy's POV

I broke my own rule on Thursday night.

I had told myself to stay away during Teresa's visits. To maintain professional distance. To let her work with the children without my presence complicating things.

But sitting in my study, watching the security feed on my laptop, I found it very difficult to keep that distance.

The footage showed the living room. Teresa was seated on the floor with Kasey and Kylie, all three of them building something elaborate with blocks.

  • Surrogate for my Ex-Fiancé’s Brother   Chapter 39

    Teresa's POV For a moment, I just stood on the terrace. Letting the champagne heat up my blood pleasantly. Letting the exhaustion wash over me without fighting it.Leaning against the railing, I closed my eyes, just for a second, just to breathe.Suddenly, a cloth pressed over my mouth and nose without warning.One second I was alone. The next, strong arms wrapped around me from behind. A hand clamped over my face, and the smell of chemicals filled my nostrils burning my nostrils.My survival instincts took over, and I reacted immediately.I threw my head back, trying to hit whoever was behind me. I kicked backwards with my heels and scratched at the arms holding me.But then a second set of hands grabbed my legs.There were two of them, both masked and dressed in black.I couldn't scream as the cloth covered my mouth completely and muffled every sound I tried to make.In a moment of desperation, I bit down hard on the hand holding the cloth and tasted blood through the chemical burn

    Teresa's POV The annual end-of-year medical gala was Dhuran's most prestigious healthcare event.Every doctor, surgeon, specialist, and medical professional who mattered attended. It was the night to see and be seen. To network. To celebrate another year of saving lives.I had never attended before as Junior doctors at St. Catherine didn't get invitations. But Derek insisted I come as his date."It's important for our public image," he said over the phone. "And for your professional reputation. You have your own clinic now. You should be visible at these events."I agreed reluctantly. Not because I wanted to go. Not because I enjoyed spending time with Derek.But because refusing would raise questions I couldn't answer.And because maintaining our arrangement was necessary to save Kai.I spent the afternoon at my clinic, treating patients with the focused intensity I brought to everything now.Work was my escape and my armour. The only thing that made sense when everything else was f

    Derek's POV I stood at the window of my penthouse, glass of scotch in hand, reviewing my progress with clinical satisfaction.The kiss had worked perfectly.Teresa and Timothy were completely separated. The nanny arrangement terminated. No contact, no visits.Timothy Chase's rage had been everything I anticipated. And Teresa was now emotionally devastated enough to depend entirely on me for stability and financial support.Phase two was progressing beautifully.I pulled up the surveillance footage on my laptop, the feed from Timothy's penthouse building that my security contact had provided access to weeks ago.It was definitely worth every penny I had paid for it.I watched Teresa leaving that final night. Her face was pale, her eyes were red, and her whole body was shaking as she walked to the street. She looked devastated and broken.I had destroyed her relationship with Timothy Chase in one calculated move.Had positioned myself as her only option. Her only source of help for the

    Timothy's POV The rebellion started three days after I fired Teresa.Kasey refused to eat.Not a bite or a single mouthful.Every meal I placed before him, he pushed away with a stubborn rage.His small arms would cross over his chest and his jaw would set in a way that looked disturbingly familiar.He had inherited my stubbornness perfectly. And he was using it as a weapon against me.Kylie was different.She cried constantly, her heartbroken sobs echoing through the penthouse day and night.Clutching her stuffed rabbit tightly to her chest like it was the only thing keeping her together, she whispered Teresa's name like a prayer, over and over again."Teresa. I want Teresa. Where's Teresa? Please bring Teresa back."The sound was destroying me, but I couldn't give in. I couldn't bring back a woman who had kissed another man in my home less than a day after kissing me.Even if that woman was the only person who could make my children happy.Nannies came and went with increasing spee

  • Surrogate for my Ex-Fiancé’s Brother   Chapter 35

    Teresa's POV The days after losing Kasey and Kylie blurred together into a grey haze of grief and routine.I threw myself into work with desperate intensity.Extra shifts, double shifts, overnight shifts nobody else wanted.I volunteered for the most difficult cases. The terminal patients. The ones everyone else avoided because they required too much emotional labour.I needed the exhaustion because when I was bone-tired from sixteen-hour days, maybe I could sleep without seeing their faces.But it didn't work.Every time I closed my eyes, Kasey and Kylie appeared.Their small hands reaching for me. Their voices calling my name. The way Kylie's rabbit had fallen from her bed that last night and I had tucked it back beside her.The way Kasey had hugged me extra tight, like he knew somehow that I wouldn't be coming back.I would wake up gasping, tears on my face, reaching for children who weren't there.Nicole noticed but didn't push. She brought me tea in the mornings. Left encouragin

  • Surrogate for my Ex-Fiancé’s Brother   Chapter 34

    Teresa's POV I stumbled from Timothy's penthouse barely able to see through my tears.The elevator ride down felt endless with every second stretching into an eternity of pain.Tobias had escorted me to the door like I was a criminal being expelled. His expression was carefully neutral but I saw the sympathy in his eyes.He knew I hadn't wanted Derek's kiss and had probably seen it happen. But it didn't matter because Timothy had seen it too and he hadn't seen me pushing Derek away.He had only seen betrayal.I made it to the street before the first sob broke free.My hands were shaking so badly I could barely call a taxi. I stood under a streetlight, tears streaming down my face, trying to breathe through the pain.Derek's kiss replayed in my mind on a loop.His sudden appearance at the penthouse. The way he had smiled at me like nothing was wrong."I missed you," he had said. "Wanted to surprise you."And before I could respond, before I could step back or tell him to leave, his ha
