After an intense workout in the office, Avery felt exhausted, and Evan had brought her to the restaurant for dinner. She couldn't help but replay the intense moments in their minds, reliving the thrill of their encounter. If not for the soundproofing in the office, she was certain everyone would have heard her scream.

As she replayed the scene in her mind, her cheeks grew hot and flushed, much like a ripe tomato. She nervously fidgeted with her fingers, trying to hide how unsteady she felt as h

  • THE CEO'S HIGH SCHOOL SURROGATE   still thinking about her

    The gates of Valemont University were intimidating.Tall. Polished. Prestigious.Avery stood just outside, clutching her bag tightly as she stared up at the campus.“Why does it look like a place where people judge you for breathing?” she muttered.Lacy laughed beside her. “Because they probably do.”Avery turned to her. “Remind me again why we chose this school?”“Because you said and I quote ‘I want a challenge.’”Avery groaned. “I say a lot of things. People shouldn’t listen to me.”Lacy smirked. “Too late. We’re here.”Students walked past them in groups — confident, polished, effortlessly put together.Designer bags. Perfect posture. Quiet arrogance.Avery leaned closer to Lacy. “They look expensive.”“They are expensive,” Lacy whispered back.Avery straightened slightly. “Okay… act normal.”“You’re married to a billionaire.”“…Act extra normal.”They stepped onto campus.And just like that, attention shifted.It started subtly.A glance.A whisper.A second look.Then…“Is that

    The shopping mall was chaos.“Avery, we do not need five throw pillows,” Lacy said, staring at the cart like she was questioning her entire friendship.Avery hugged one of the pillows to her chest. “We absolutely do. This one is emotional support.”“Emotional support?” Lacy repeated flatly.“Yes. Look at it. It’s soft, it’s pink, it understands me.”Lacy dragged a hand down her face. “You’re going to bankrupt yourself before school even starts.”Avery waved her off, already tossing another pillow into the cart. “Relax. I’m investing in our comfort.”“Comfort?” Lacy scoffed. “At this point, we won’t have space to sit.”Avery gasped. “We’ll make space.”Two hours later, their cart was overflowing.Fairy lights. Rugs. Scented candles. Wall art Avery insisted was “aesthetic.”Lacy had managed to sneak in actual essentials — kitchenware, cleaning supplies, storage boxes.At the checkout, Avery casually pulled out her card.Lacy narrowed her eyes. “Is that…?”Avery blinked innocently. “What

    Avery leaned back against him for a moment before suddenly pulling away with renewed excitement.“Oh! I almost forgot,” she said, rushing toward the coffee table where her phone and scattered lists were lying. “Lacy and I are going apartment hunting tomorrow morning.”Evan’s arm slowly dropped to his side. “Tomorrow?” he repeated.“Yeah!” Avery chirped, completely oblivious to the heaviness in his voice. She picked up one of the lists and waved it excitedly. “We already looked at a few online. There’s this cute two-bedroom near campus with huge windows and a balcony. Lacy says we can decorate it however we want.”Evan watched her pace around the living room, her excitement bubbling over in every movement.She looked so young. So alive.And suddenly the thought of the house being empty without her laughter made his chest feel tight.“You really thought this through,” he said quietly.Avery nodded enthusiastically. “Of course! We’ve been planning it for weeks.”She walked over and plopp

  • THE CEO'S HIGH SCHOOL SURROGATE   Are you proud of me?

    The morning felt different.Avery stood in front of the mirror, turning slightly from side to side, her graduation gown draped neatly over her shoulders.“This thing is not cute,” she complained, tugging at the fabric.Behind her, Lacy laughed. “It’s not supposed to be cute. It’s a gown.”Avery pouted. “But I want to look cute while graduating.”“You always look cute,” Lacy shot back. “Relax.”Avery huffed, then smiled at her reflection anyway, smoothing down her hair.“I’m really graduating,” she whispered, almost to herself.For a brief second, everything hit her at once.The exams.The stress.The loss she was still quietly carrying.Her hand instinctively moved to her stomach… then stopped.Her smile faded just a little.Lacy noticed immediately.“Hey,” she said gently.Avery blinked, forcing the feeling away. “I’m fine.”And just like that—she bounced back.“Come on, let’s go before I miss my moment,” she said, grabbing her cap dramatically.The school grounds were buzzing.Stude

  • THE CEO'S HIGH SCHOOL SURROGATE   You hurt her

    By the time they finished dessert, Avery’s phone buzzed again. “Guess who’s outside?” she said, showing Lacy and Maddie Evan’s message: I’m here. Don’t take too long.“Already?” Lacy asked, raising an eyebrow. “He’s fast.”Avery rolled her eyes, grinning. “You’d think he’s been waiting all day just for me,” she whispered.Outside, Evan leaned casually against the sleek black car, arms crossed, watching the restaurant doors. When Avery stepped out, he straightened, smirk tugging at his lips.“Well, well… if it isn’t my stubborn little wife,” he said, his voice teasing but warm.Avery puffed her cheeks in mock offense. “Stubborn? Me? Never!”“Yes, you are,” he said, stepping closer, eyes sparkling. “Headstrong, impossible, and full of life”Avery laughed, spinning on her heel to give him a playful shove. “Don’t flatter yourself, Mr. Benson!”He opened the car door for her, hand brushing hers as she slid in. Lacy and Maddie waved from the sidewalk. “Bye! Don’t get into too much trouble!”

  • THE CEO'S HIGH SCHOOL SURROGATE   I got in

    Meanwhile, in his father’s office, Ivan was already fuming.“Too close,” he muttered, staring at his phone. “They’re getting too close.”He tapped furiously at the screen, fingers flying over the keys.A message was sent to Tara:“Investigation closing in. We need a new plan. Meet tonight.”Ivan leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair. He could feel the walls of control closing in. He had underestimated Evan’s persistence before, but this time, there would be no mistakes.Tara’s quick responses were already lighting up his phone. They were coordinated, ruthless. Ivan smirked, but there was a shadow in his eyes. Evan’s investigation was getting sharper and that made the stakes higher than ever.By evening, Avery was home, curled on the couch. Evan knelt beside her, holding her hands with a grip both gentle and firm.“I know it hurts,” he said softly. “But you’re not alone. I’m here.”Avery pressed her forehead against his shoulder. “I just… I feel so broken,” she whis

    The car finally pulled into the long driveway of the estate.As soon as the vehicle stopped, the driver stepped out and opened the door for them.Evan gently helped Avery out of the car, instinctively placing a steady hand on her waist.“You know I’m capable of walking on my own,” Avery teased.Ev

    The moment the Rolls-Royce disappeared down the road, the quiet outside the school gate exploded into chaos.Students immediately surrounded Lacy and Maddie.“Wait, wait, wait!”“Since when is Avery married?!”“Is that really Evan Benson?”“Did she actually say she’s pregnant?!”Questions came from

    The crowd gasped as whispers spread through the hall. Avery looked around at the people surrounding her, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. Evan still had his hand stretched out toward her, a charming smile on his face.Taking a deep breath, Avery placed her hand in his. Evan gently pulled her
