The Accidental Surrogate's Secret Chapter 170- Thirty Minutes Of Hell.
Candice’s POVI just sat there, staring at Dorian in pure shock, not even blinking or breathing properly.I didn’t even know what to feel or how to react.My brain stopped working.My eyes were locked on Dorian. The room was a blur of murmurs and shifting bodies, but all I could focus on was him. The faint smile was still lingering on his lips. I didn’t even know how to act or feel in that instant. My heart raced, a mix of confusion and anger. I just stared at him in disbelief. This is absurd!!!What does he mean by that? Why would he just give up his project presentation without a fight? The last time we’d seen each other, he’d told me how swamped he’d be preparing for this big company bid—how it was pulling him away from everything, including time with the twins. And now… he just gave it up?Just like that?Because he “didn’t want to embarrass himself” after seeing my proposal?Weren’t the hosts and the judges supposed to be the ones deciding that? Not him, making some grand
The Accidental Surrogate's Secret Chapter 169- The Project Bid.
Candice’s POVThe cameras kept flashing like crazy, and I tried my best to pretend they weren’t there. My colleague who was seated close leaned in close. She glanced at the flashing cameras around us, her eyes sparkling with mischief, and whispered playfully, “Do you feel any kind of way after running into him? Like, even a little butterfly inside your stomach?”I almost rolled my eyes right there. This wasn’t the time for her to make jokes like that—not when I was desperately trying to escape the awkwardness of the moment, with reporters eyeing us like hawks.“Shh, Ms. Lee,” I whispered back, nudging her gently with my elbow. “Stop teasing. This is serious.”She giggled softly but held up her hands in surrender.“Okay, okay. If you insist.”Her voice dropped even lower as she added, “But seriously, the tension in here just skyrocketed. You two have history written all over your faces.”I didn’t reply, just focused on the stage ahead, willing the bidding to start so I could distract
The Accidental Surrogate's Secret Chapter 168- When Everything Clicks
Candice’s POVI froze on the spot.My heels were glued to the floor, and my legs refused to move even an inch.I couldn’t breathe for a moment. I couldn’t even blink.The room was buzzing with people chatting, papers rustling, and chairs scraping as everyone settled in, but all I could see was him. Why was he here?My mind spun so fast it felt like the whole room tilted.He wasn’t supposed to be here. Just last week, he’d told me about his company’s major project keeping him busy.He was supposed to be preparing for the company project. So why… why was he standing here?A sick feeling dropped into my stomach as a thought slowly crept in.Had he been talking about this very bid all along?What if this was the company project he talked about but I thought he was talking about a different one. Oh no, I almost facepalmed myself right there in front of everyone, but I caught my hand mid-air and forced it back down.If this was his project, that meant we were competing against each othe
The Accidental Surrogate's Secret Chapter 167–“Why… why is he here?”
Candice’s POVI stood there, staring at Dorian for what felt like an eternity without saying anything. I opened my mouth once… closed it… then opened it again.Why was he asking about my work with Lucien?He wasn’t supposed to ask questions that didn’t concern him.He wasn’t even supposed to be in my house this late.The best thing would be to ignore him, I thought. Just pretend he wasn’t there and go about my night.I turned my head away, dropping my bag on the floor with a thud, and started walking toward the kitchen to grab a glass of water.But Dorian wasn’t one to give up easily.He repeated his question like I hadn’t heard him the first time.“Ooh no. Are you that tired that you didn’t hear me?” he asked, leaning forward slightly. “Lucien is really taking a toll on you, huh?”I sighed, my shoulders slumping.At that point, I gave up.If I didn’t answer, he’d probably keep asking until I snapped.“I’m doing very okay,” I said, avoiding his eyes. “I was just sorting out some thin
The Accidental Surrogate's Secret Chapter 166-What if delays happen?
Candice’s POVI woke up early the next morning, my eyes gritty from lack of sleep, but I had no choice but to push through.The twins were still snoring softly when I slipped out of their bed, careful not to wake them.I tiptoed to the kitchen, made a quick cup of coffee, and reviewed my report one last time.After I confirmed that everything was looking good, I freshened up, got ready for work, and went to work.When I got to the office, I hadn’t even settled down properly when I received a call that it was time for the meeting and presentation of the reports.I took a deep breath as I picked up the file and went to the conference room._______By the time I got to the conference room, everyone was already there.We all settled down, and Lucien nodded at me to begin.I stood up and set up my laptop by connecting it to the big screen.I took a deep breath and started.“Good morning, everyone,” I said, trying to sound calm. “I’ll be presenting the updated structure and financial strat
The Accidental Surrogate's Secret Chapter 165- Too Tired To Keep Fighting
Candice’s POVI took a shaky breath, trying to steady myself as Dorian’s arms loosened around me.His voice was soft as he kept talking.“Please calm down, Candice. Please, I’m begging you to calm down. I promised not to do anything that would hurt the kids.”But his words felt like they were bouncing off me, none of his words were sinking in.My chest was still heaving from the sobs, my face wet and sticky from tears.How could I just calm down?Everything felt like it was crumbling. I wiped at my eyes, but more tears came anyway.“You know I can never hurt you or the kids,” he said, his hand gently tapping my back and shoulder.His voice was low and full of emotion. “So please, trust me on this. I wouldn’t do things I’m not supposed to. Just stop crying and calm down.”He kept patting me softly, and slowly, against my will, it started to work.I took a deep breath, then another, forcing the sobs to quiet down.Once I was calmer, Dorian guided me over to the sofa, his hand light on
