THE CEO’S SURROGATE(WOMB CONTRACT) Chapter 88
(Part One)Sabrina’s POVI had reached my limit; I couldn't keep calm and watch Elena take over what I had worked for all these years.Xavier had become useless; he still harbors feelings for her. Because I don’t know why he wouldn’t take any action against Elena.Every conversation ended the same way.“Be patient.”“We’re being watched.”“This isn’t the right time.”I was tired of waiting.While he hesitated, Elena climbed higher inside Carrington Empire.First, the engagement.Then the heir announcement.Now the charity gala.Soon enough, the board would begin seeing her as the future Mrs. Carrington.If that happened…Everything I had worked for would disappear.I pulled my car into the driveway of the Bennett estate just after seven.The sprawling mansion had been Xavier’s home long before we got engaged. It was elegant, secluded, and surrounded by enough security to keep unwanted visitors away.One of the maids opened the front door before I reached it.“Miss Sabrina.” She smile

Alaric’s POVI had just finished signing the last contract when Alex knocked once before entering my office.One look at his face told me this wasn’t routine; the week had been going on. I quickly dropped the pen and turned my full attention to him. I nodded for my assistant to leave us.He closed the door behind him and waited until my assistant had left before speaking.“We have a problem.” He said I capped my pen. “Sit.”He didn’t.Instead, he placed a tablet and a thick folder on my desk.“I think we’ve found the leak.” He rasped as his voice cracked a bit.Every muscle in my body tensed. “What leak?”“The one feeding information about Elena.”The room fell silent.I slowly pushed the paperwork aside. “Explain.”Alex opened the folder, revealing several photographs, security logs, and printed emails.“For the past two weeks, I had IT monitor every digital request involving Mrs. Carrington’s schedule.”I looked through the documents.“Who has access?” I asked.“You.” He replied.

Elena’s POVBy the time I left Carrington Empire, the sun was already beginning to set.Instead of heading home, I gave the driver a different destination.“St. Anne’s Medical Center.”The driver met my eyes in the rearview mirror. “Yes, Mrs. Carrington.”I leaned my head against the window as the city drifted past.It had been almost weeks since I’d visited Dad.Between work, doctor’s appointments, and everything happening at the mansion, I hadn’t realized how much time had slipped away.Guilt settled heavily in my chest.No matter how busy life became…He was still my father.The familiar scent of antiseptic greeted me the moment I stepped onto the recovery floor.Several nurses smiled as I passed.“Good evening, Mrs. Carrington.”I smiled back.“Good evening.”One of them stopped me outside Room 312.“Your father had physical therapy this afternoon.” She said.“How did it go?” I asked.“Very well.” She smiled.“He’s walking short distances with assistance now.”Relief washed over m
THE CEO’S SURROGATE(WOMB CONTRACT) Chapter 85
Xavier’s POVI hated the Carrington Empire.Not because of the building.Not because of the employees.Because every time I walked through its doors, I was reminded of one thing.None of it belonged to me.It should have.For years, my father had assured me that I would eventually take over the company. I grew up believing it. I acted like it. Hell, most of the executives treated me like the future CEO.Then Alaric Carrington returned. Everything changed.I stepped out of the elevator onto the executive floor, ignoring the polite greetings from employees. Their smiles weren’t genuine anymore.They respected Alaric.They tolerated me.There was a difference.I pushed open my office door.Sabrina was already inside.She didn’t look happy.“They approved it.”I tossed my briefcase onto the couch. “What now?”She threw a folder onto my desk.“The charity gala.”I opened it.At first, nothing caught my attention.Then I saw it.Host: Elena Carrington.My jaw tightened.“They’re putting her

Alaric’s POVI didn’t return to my office immediately after the executive meeting.Instead, I remained in the conference room while the other executives gathered their documents and filtered out.“The outreach proposal was well prepared.”One of the board members closed his folder and looked at me.“Your community initiatives have been improving every year.”I nodded.“They’re an investment.”“In goodwill?”“In people.”He smiled approvingly before excusing himself.Within minutes, the room was empty.I picked up the proposal Elena had presented and flipped through the pages once more.The figures were accurate.The planning was realistic.Most importantly, she had anticipated every question before it was asked.She hadn’t relied on confidence alone.She’d done the work.Exactly the way my father had taught me to.A knock sounded at the open door.Alex stepped inside.“The legal team is waiting.”“They can wait another five minutes.”He glanced at the file in my hand.“I take it the p

Elena’s POVBy the time I arrived at the office the next morning, the rain had already started.A drizzle coated the glass windows of Carrington Empire, turning the city skyline into a blur of gray.I paused in the lobby for a moment, watching employees hurry inside with umbrellas and takeaway coffee before stepping into the elevator.The familiar hum of the building settled my nerves.For the first time in weeks, work felt… normal.The elevator doors opened onto my floor.“Good morning, Mrs. Carrington.”“Morning.” I always greeted and nodded back most times.I smiled politely at the receptionist before making my way to my office.Lana was already there, standing beside my desk with two cups of coffee.“I was beginning to think you weren’t coming.” She said.“I blame the weather.” I chuckled.She handed me one of the cups. “And here I thought you’d blame Mr. Carrington.”I laughed.“He wasn’t responsible for the traffic.” I chuckled.“That’s progress.”I narrowed my eyes playfully.“
THE CEO’S SURROGATE(WOMB CONTRACT) CHAPTER FOUR: FIRED
(ELENA'S POV) "How long are you going to pretend not to see him?" Lana whispered as we stepped out of the coffee shop. "Who said I'm pretending?" I breathed as I clutched my coffee cup closer to my heart. "I just want to focus on my work." That was partially a lie. I just couldn't allow Xavier t
THE CEO’S SURROGATE(WOMB CONTRACT) CHAPTER THREE: THE PROPOSITION
(ELENA’S POV) For a split second, I forgot how to breathe. The rooftop light blurred behind him, the wind caught in my hair and his words kept echoing in my head like a glitch in time. “Marry me, Elena, be the mother to my child and your father will be saved.” I laughed—not because it was funny
THE CEO’S SURROGATE(WOMB CONTRACT) CHAPTER TWO: THE OFFER I NEVER SAW COMING
(Elena’s Pov ) "$150,000, Miss Hart. That's the cost " the doctor had said. "I'm sorry, but we can’t proceed without a deposit." $150,000. I didn’t even have close to $15,000. My hands trembled as I tried to focus on the pile of reports on my desk. But all I saw was my dying father on the hos
THE CEO’S SURROGATE(WOMB CONTRACT) CHAPTER ONE: HIS GOODBYE, MY RUIN
(Elena’s Pov) "Tell me it's a joke." Lana didn't even close the door. She barged into my apartment waving her phone like a flag. "Come on, you know I can't joke with something like that. It's everywhere Elena! Xavier Carrington is getting married next weekend. " "What?" My voice came out as a
