Dorian’s POV

After the call with the restaurant staff, I started pacing the room. My thoughts were everywhere.

Where the hell could Candice be?

“Damn it!” I growled, tossing my phone on the couch and dragging my hands down my face. My heart was racing and my palms were sweat.

God, what if she did something to herself?

No. No. I wasn’t going to think like that.

I grabbed my phone again and immediately called my subordinate.

“Find her,” I barked the second he answered. “I want every single one of you looking for her. Use every resource. I don’t care how you do it. Just find Candice.”

“Okay, sir. We’re already on it. I’ll update you shortly.”

I hung up, but I couldn’t sit still.

I tried to sit on the edge of the couch, but I shot right back up before my ass even settled. I ran my hands through my hair.

What was taking so long?

I paced from one end of the room to the other, checking my phone every two seconds even.

My phone rang.

I didn’t even check the caller ID. I snatched it up and

  • The Accidental Surrogate's Secret   Chapter 96 - I Will Help You

    Candice’s POV“Are you crazy?! Have you completely lost your mind?!”I gasped and turned, stumbling back a little. My heart was racing. And then I saw who it was.“Y-You?!” I said in disbelief.It was Dorian’s stepbrother— LucienHe held onto my arms tightly, like he wasn’t going to let go no matter how hard I pushed him.“Let me go!” I shouted, trying to break free. “Just let me go! I want it all to end!”“You think this is the way to end it?!” he barked, gripping my shoulders tighter. “Jumping into a lake?! That’s your answer?”“Yes!” I cried, struggling harder. “It’s the only way that makes sense now!”“Candice!” he snapped. “What the hell is wrong with you?! Did you really think ending it all is the perfect option for you?!”“Why would you even think that?” He raised his voice at me, but I didn’t answer that question.“Please,” I begged, tears streaming down my face. “Please… just let me go.”“No,” he said firmly. “You’re not going anywhere. Letting you go means me giving you a

  • The Accidental Surrogate's Secret   Chapter 95- Doing Something Regrettable

    Dorian’s POVHow was I supposed to tell her?I typed a few words, then immediately deleted them.“We need to talk about the baby.”No, that sounded too gentle. It didn’t match what I was about to say.“Candice, you have to terminate the pregnancy.”I stared at the words.Too blunt.God… What was I doing?I let out a heavy sigh and dropped the phone on the table. My fingers ran through my hair, pulling lightly at the roots as I leaned back in frustration.There was no way I could say this in a text.It would make me look heartless.I stood up abruptly and paced the room, mumbling to myself.“Maybe if I tell her gently, like… ‘This isn’t the right time for us to be parents’?” I paused. “No. That sounds like I’m trying to comfort her. It’ll give her hope.”I tried again.“Candice, this situation is too messy. We should both move on.”Too vague.I sighed loudly, dragging my palm down my face.I turned away and picked up the phone again.No more texts.If I was going to do this, I had to l

  • The Accidental Surrogate's Secret   Chapter 94- A Final Decision.

    Dorian’s POVI sat on the edge of the bed, elbows resting on my knees, hands tangled in my hair, as my mind spun nonstop. After learning everything Candice had been hiding from me…I didn’t even know how to describe what I was feeling anymore.Disappointment didn’t seem strong enough.Heartbreak didn’t feel painful enough.I stared blankly at the wall in front of me, but all I could see was her face.Her smile.The way she laughed when she forgot I was watching her.I thought she was different.I really did.I thought Candice was the kind of woman you could trust. The kind you build a future with. I pictured us together; growing old, raising our children, traveling the world. I wanted that life. With her.I was ready to give it all up just to keep her. And it turns out… it was all an illusion.A damn dream.“She played me,” I muttered to myself, my voice low and bitter.“She planned it.“I clenched my jaw and stood up, pacing back and forth in my room. “She’s just like the rest of

    Candice’s POVI just sat there frozen I wasn’t even blinking. I don’t think I was breathing either.Did I hear him wrong?“W-What…?” I finally managed, my voice trembling, barely above a whisper. “Dorian… what did you just say?”He looked me dead in the eye with not even a single emotion. “I said,” he repeated slowly, “you should get rid of the baby.”My entire world tilted.I blinked as my heart started pounding in my ears. “W-What…?” I choked. “You can’t be serious…”He leaned back, his face stiff. “Candice, I never knew you were this kind of woman,” he said coldly. “I could accept you only as a surrogate to bear my child. But now I see what this is that you’re trying to use the baby to climb up. To bind me. To win your place in a life that was never meant to be yours.”“Your character is too poor,” he went on. “I cannot accept a child born from a woman like you.”I couldn’t even sit still anymore.“Stop…” I whispered. “Dorian, that’s not true. You know that’s not who I am. You

    Candice’s POVAfter trying everything, knocking on his door, texting him every night, waiting and hoping. I realized that maybe it was time to stop.Dorian clearly wasn’t ready to listen. Maybe he didn’t even want to.And no matter how badly I wanted him to believe me, I couldn’t force him. Nearly a week later, I had a scheduled ultrasound. It was just a routine checkup, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited.The nurse smiled gently as she smeared the cool gel across my belly and adjusted the ultrasound wand.“Alright, Miss Candice,” she said kindly. “Let’s see how baby’s doing today.”I tilted my head toward the screen as it lit up with soft, fuzzy images. Then the doctor pointed.“There,” he said. “Do you see that? That’s the babies nose. And the mouth… see how it’s shaped?”My eyes widened. “Oh my God… really? That’s the face already?”The doctor chuckled. “Yes. At this stage, facial features start to show.“My heart jumped.My mouth fell open slightly as I stared at the li
