Maya

For several seconds, nobody spoke.

Brian's question hung over the Council chamber, challenging the very people who had summoned us here to judge me. Elder Magnus stared at him from his elevated seat, his expression tightening as the other Elders exchanged uneasy glances.

I had expected Brian to defend me against the accusation of murder. I hadn't expected him to turn their own argument against them.

  • Surrogate for the CEO Alpha   Chapter 153: The Price of betrayal

    BrianI had almost reached the doorway when Laura called after me."Brian, wait!"I stopped, my hands tightening at my sides."You need to understand that this isn't what you think."A bitter laugh escaped me as I turned around. Ethan was pulling his shirt back on, while Laura stood beside the bed, clutching her robe around herself. Neither looked particularly ashamed. If anything, they seemed annoyed that I had interrupted them."Then explain it to me," I said. "Explain why I walked into this room and found my sister in bed with my Beta.""We're adults," Laura replied. "We have a relationship. You don't have to approve of it.""That's not what I'm asking.""Then what do you want?"I stared at her. "How long has this been going on?"She glanced at Ethan before looking back at me."Long enough."The answer made my jaw tighten, but there was something more important than their relationship."Did you lie to me about Maya?"Laura's expression changed."What?""Did you tell me she planned

  • Surrogate for the CEO Alpha   Chapter 152: Confrontation

    BrianFor several seconds, I stood at the entrance to Laura's bedroom, unable to reconcile what I was seeing.Ethan was there, while Laura stood behind him, clutching her robe around herself. The sheets were tangled, and their clothes lay scattered near the bed.There was no innocent explanation.My Beta had been sleeping with my sister.A growl tore through my chest.How dare he? Knox snarled. After everything we've given him?I couldn't answer. My attention remained fixed on Ethan, who seemed more concerned about my reaction than ashamed of what he'd done."Brian," he began."Don't."I took a step towards him. He straightened, but made no effort to move away from Laura."Get away from her."Laura immediately stepped forward. "Brian, stop."I ignored her."Move away from her, Ethan."He frowned. "You need to calm down."My hands curled into fists."You're standing in my sister's bedroom, half-dressed, and telling me to calm down?"Let me out.No.He has betrayed us. Let me deal with

  • Surrogate for the CEO Alpha   Chapter 151: Behind the door

    BrianLaura had been back at the estate for several days, yet she hadn't come to see me.It wasn't unusual for my sister to keep to herself. Even as children, she had preferred her own company, often disappearing into the secluded quarters our parents had given her at the far end of the estate. She had always been particular about her privacy, and as adults, we'd learned not to disturb her without a good reason.But this time, her absence bothered me.Our last conversation had left too many unanswered questions, particularly concerning what she'd told me about Maya. Laura had claimed Maya intended to collect her surrogacy payment and leave after giving birth. She had presented it as something Maya had personally confided in her, yet when I'd confronted Maya, she'd denied ever saying such a thing.I had believed my sister without questioning her.That mistake had cost me more than I wanted to admit.I needed to ask Laura why she'd said it. I also wanted to understand why she'd been so

    Maya"I am staying," I answered.Laura nodded slowly."For how long?""Until the children are settled and I can make arrangements for myself.""And after that?""I'll decide when the time comes.""Have you considered what that might do to Brian?"I almost laughed."Laura, your brother made it clear that he doesn't want me interfering in his life. I'm respecting that.""He's angry. That's different.""Perhaps. But I'm not going to keep trying to guess what he wants."Laura leaned back."I only hope you won't make another decision you'll regret."I watched her carefully."Are you talking about leaving again?""I'm talking about the children. They need stability, Maya. Roman and Ryan shouldn't be caught between two people who can't decide what they want from each other.""I agree.""Then perhaps you should think carefully before involving yourself in Brian's personal life again."I kept my expression still."I haven't involved myself in his personal life.""Of course not."Laura smiled,

  • Surrogate for the CEO Alpha   chapter 149: The Distance

    MayaBy the following morning, I had made a decision. I wasn't going to argue with Brian again.There was no point trying to convince him that I hadn't deliberately come between him and his sister, or that leaving River Vale had never been about chasing another man. He had already decided what kind of woman I was, and yesterday's conversation had shown me how little my explanations mattered to him.I would stay for Roman and Ryan. I would take care of them, make sure they were safe, and avoid giving Brian another reason to accuse me of interfering in his family.That was all.I was feeding Ryan when Brian entered the nursery. He paused at the doorway, his gaze moving from me to the baby in my arms. I kept my attention on the bottle, checking that Ryan was drinking comfortably."Good morning," he said."Good morning."His eyes remained on me. "How are the boys?""Roman is still sleeping. Ryan woke up about twenty minutes ago."Brian approached the crib and looked down at his younger so

  • Surrogate for the CEO Alpha   Chapter 148: The Guilt

    BrianThe moment Maya walked out, I wanted to call her back.I remained behind my desk, staring at the open doorway. I could still hear the hurt in her voice when she asked whether I honestly believed she had left because she wanted to sleep with someone else.I had known exactly where to strike.And I had struck there without hesitation.Knox paced restlessly inside me.You were too harsh.I rubbed my forehead.I know.No. You don't. You used everything she trusted you with against her.I moved away from the desk and went to the window.The argument had served its purpose. Ethan had been close enough to hear most of it. He had heard me accuse Maya of interfering with my family, question her relationship with Tyler, and make it clear that I no longer wanted her influence over my decisions.That was what I needed him to believe.But the memory of Maya's expression wouldn't leave me alone.She had looked at me as though she no longer recognized the man standing before her.I had expecte
