Candice’s POV

I felt Dorian’s body go stiff against me. His hand, which had been resting on my arm, froze immediately. His eyes searched mine with disbelief, like he couldn’t process the words I had just said.

“Why did you resign?” he finally asked, his voice low. “Don’t you want to work anymore? Don’t you want to… stay?”

“Are you already tired of working with me?”

His brows knitted together, and I could hear the panic creeping into his tone.

“Am I making you uncomfortable? Did I push you too much? Was I… moving faster than I should?”

He dragged a hand through his hair, frustrated. Then he looked back at me.

“Just tell me what I did, Candice,” he pleaded. “Tell me what made you want to resign, and I swear—I’ll change. Just say the word, and I’ll do it.”

“Tell me the reason why you resign and I promise to help you find a solution for it.”

His voice cracked a little. And I didn’t even answer him because the only thing on my mind was the different thoughts running in it.

  • The Accidental Surrogate's Secret   Chapter 145- The Last Few Meals

    Candice’s POVI knew it. No matter what I said next, these people weren’t going to compromise.It didn’t matter if I explained myself again, or if I begged them to understand. They had already made up their minds, and nothing I said would change it.If only I had known this was how today would turn out… I never would have brought the kids to the park. Chloe wouldn’t be standing behind me right now with scraped knees and tears streaming down her cheeks.My little girl sobbed softly, clutching my leg. My heart broke hearing those tiny cries. I wanted to protect her, but I felt like I was drowning under all these accusing eyes.And just when I was about to lose, a deep, steady voice came through like a savior.“Why do you have to make things difficult for a woman and her child?”That voice. I knew it. I spun around quickly.It was Jace.I let out a shaky breath in relief. His tall figure moved toward me. “Is this really how you treat other women?” Jace’s voice was sharp. “Surrounding

    Candice’s POVThe next morning, I decided to take the children to the park near our house. The moment I told them, their little faces lit up like fireworks.“Yayyy! Park time!” Chloe clapped her hands and spun in circles.“Race you there, Mommy!” Caleb shouted, already pretending to run.Their joy warmed my heart. I smiled at them, though deep down I knew I had something heavy to tell them later that evening. We would soon be moving back to Europe, and though they were still young, I didn’t want to keep such a thing from them. They deserved to know.I’m still waiting for the right moment to tell them, but I also know there may never be a perfect time. I just need to choose a moment and say it, especially since we’ll be leaving soon.When we arrived, the park was already filled with children laughing, chasing each other, riding on the slides and seesaws. Chloe and Caleb’s eyes widened with excitement.“Mommy, can we go? Pleaseee?” Chloe begged, tugging at my hand.“Yes, you can play,”

    Candice’s POVThe moment I stepped inside the house, little footsteps came rushing toward me.“Mommy! Mommy!” Chloe’s sweet voice rang out as she clung to my legs. Caleb wasn’t far behind, his little arms wrapping around me too.I bent down immediately, pulling all two of them into a tight hug. “My babies…” I whispered, kissing the top of their heads one by one. “How were you all while I was gone? Did you behave yourselves? Tell Mommy the truth now.”Chloe giggled, nodding eagerly. “I was very good, Mommy! I didn’t fight with Caleb at all.”Caleb quickly puffed his cheeks, defending himself. “I was good too, Mommy! I helped Chloe with her drawing.”I laughed softly, my heart melting. “Wow, so all my babies were angels? I’m so proud of you.”Just then, the nanny appeared from the corner with a warm smile.“Welcome back, Candice,” she greeted softly.I lifted my head and smiled at her. “Thank you so much for everything. I really appreciate it.”She shook her head modestly. “It’s my job

    Candice’s POVI dropped to my knees beside him, my hands trembling as I touched his pale face. His skin felt clammy, his lips almost colorless.“No, no, no… Dorian!” I shook him lightly, my voice cracking. “Please wake up…!”His chest moved faintly, but his eyes stayed closed. Panic clawed through me.“Somebody please help me!” I screamed, my throat burning. “Please! Somebody call an ambulance!”People began gathering around us, voices rising in shock. A man crouched beside me. “He’s still breathing,” he said, pressing his fingers against Dorian’s neck. “But it’s faint. Don’t worry, miss, help is coming.”My tears blurred everything as I clung to Dorian’s hand. “Don’t leave… please don’t leave like this,” I whispered. Sirens wailed in the distance. My heart jumped as red and blue lights flashed across the street. The ambulance screeched to a stop, and two paramedics rushed out with a stretcher.“Step back, ma’am,” one of them said, gently moving me aside. They lifted Dorian quickly o

    Candice’s POVI wasn’t surprised to see him. Somehow, Dorian always appeared out of nowhere, like a shadow that never left me alone. “So… is that going to be a yes?”I almost laughed. A humorless scoff escaped my throat instead.For a long moment, I just stood there staring at him, weighing my options. Finally, I shook my head. “No, Dorian. You don’t need to worry about me. I’ll be fine. I can call a taxi with my phone, and it’ll come almost immediately. Thank you for offering, but… no.”His car didn’t move.“Candice,” he called again, voice firmer this time. “You know I can’t leave you here alone. It’s late. Why not just get in the car instead of stressing yourself over a taxi?”I clenched my phone tighter in my hand. My lips parted, ready to tell him no again. But I stopped myself. Saying it outright would only give him the satisfaction of thinking I might change my mind.No, silence was better. If I ignored him, maybe he would finally drive away.So, I turned my head and looked t
