Teresa's POV

I spent four days recovering in Timothy's private medical facility.

The building was nothing like St. Catherine's Hospital, everything was pristine and expensive.

A private room with windows overlooking the city. Nurses who checked on me every hour. Doctors who explained every treatment in careful detail.

And Timothy.

He came every day. Sometimes just sitting in the chair by the window. Sometimes asking how I felt. Sometimes just watching me with an expression I couldn't read.

  • Surrogate for my Ex-Fiancé’s Brother   Chapter 50

    Timothy's POV Something was wrong.I knew it from the way she walked towards the jet with her bag pressed close to her side and her eyes fixed straight ahead, like looking back might cost her something she couldn't afford to lose. I knew it from the way she had quickly refused my offer to come with her with that particular brand of refusal she used when a decision was already made and no argument in the world was going to change it.Teresa Sawyer had been lying to me.Not about small things. Not about anything simple.I stood on the airstrip long after the jet had disappeared into the blue and told myself I was being irrational. She was a doctor. Medical emergencies happened. People had professional crises that had nothing to do with anyone else and everything to do with their work.I told myself that for exactly two days before I called Carson.He was in my suite within the hour, his expression already arranged into the neutrality he used when he suspected I wasn't going to like wha

  • Surrogate for my Ex-Fiancé’s Brother   Chapter 49

    Teresa's POV I woke up with Timothy's words still ringing in my ears.He was already looking. That was what he had said. Not in those exact words, but the meaning had been clear enough. I lay still for a few minutes, staring at the ceiling of the villa while the morning light came through the curtains in pale gold strips.Suddenly my phone buzzed.I almost didn't look at it. I almost turned it face down and told myself it could wait until after breakfast, after the children woke up, after I had gathered enough composure to face another day pretending everything was fine.But something made me pick it up.The message was from Mei.Just three words.“Call me now.”My blood went cold before I had even dialed the number.Mei answered on the first ring. Her voice was steady but I had known her long enough to hear the fear underneath it."His breathing changed two nights ago," she said. "He couldn't sleep. He kept waking up and his lips were going blue at the edges. I gave him the medicat

  • Surrogate for my Ex-Fiancé’s Brother   Chapter 48

    Teresa's POV The morning after felt like stepping carefully around broken glass.Nothing had shattered. Nothing had been said that couldn't be unsaid. But the air between Timothy and me carried the weight of what almost happened on that beach, and I moved through breakfast with the awareness of someone who knew exactly how fragile the moment was.The call about Mrs. Williams had turned out to be minor. A routine authorization Timothy needed to approve before his mother's medical team could adjust her medication. Nothing urgent. Nothing life-threatening.But it had broken the spell completely.By the time Timothy returned to the villa the previous night, the moment between us had cooled into something quieter. We had said goodnight with a distance that felt both necessary and unbearable. I had laid awake for hours staring at the ceiling, replaying every second on that beach, every word he said, every place his hands had been.I told myself it was good that we were interrupted. And I a

    Teresa's POV The private island resort was breathtaking.Crystal clear waters stretched endlessly in shades of turquoise and sapphire. White sand so soft it felt like silk under my feet. Luxury villas surrounded by tropical gardens that smelled like jasmine and salt and something sweet I couldn't name.I hadn't experienced anything this beautiful since before Thomas destroyed my life.Standing on the villa's terrace that first morning, watching the sunrise paint the ocean in golds and pinks, I felt a kind of peace I hadn't felt in years.The first three days felt almost magical.Kasey and Kylie thrived in the open space. No walls, no restrictions. Just endless beach and water and sky.They ran barefoot on the sand, their laughter carrying on the breeze. Built elaborate structures that defied physics with shells and driftwood. Collected treasures they insisted on showing me every few minutes.I watched them from the shallows, my feet in the warm water, ready to intervene if they ventu

  • Surrogate for my Ex-Fiancé’s Brother   Chapter 46

    Timothy's POV Mira's arrest brought temporary peace.Derek was still in custody. The investigation was ongoing. But both of them were locked up where they couldn't hurt anyone.It should have felt like a victory. But instead, it felt… fragile. Like something that could shatter at any moment.I watched Teresa recover over the following days.Watched how thin she had become. How the hospital gowns hung on her frame in ways that made my chest tight.Watched how her eyes looked haunted even when she smiled. Like part of her was still back in that warehouse. Still bound and waiting for something terrible to happen.Something changed permanently inside me during those days.The anger I had felt witnessing Derek kiss her in my living room felt distant now.What was jealousy compared to the terror of Teresa disappearing entirely?What did one misunderstood moment matter when I had almost lost her forever?I had been a fool. I had let pride and hurt override judgement. Had fired her and banne

Didn't discuss Derek or Mira or the warehouse.The police had questioned me once. Asked for my statement. Told me both Derek and Mira were in custody.That Derek was claiming complete ignorance about the kidnapping. And that Mira was confessing everything in exchange for a reduced sentence.I told them what I remembered. Answered their questions. Signed the paperwork.Then I tried not to think about it anymore.The physical recovery was straightforward. IV fluids

    Teresa's POV "Let go," I whispered, my voice shaking.Timothy's hand was wrapped around my arm painfully. His dark eyes locked onto mine, demanding answers I couldn't give."Not until you give me something," he repeated angrily. "I need to know why you ran."My heart hammered against my ribs becau
