The Betrayed Surrogate Wife's Revenge Chapter 19
I stare at the photograph on my phone until my eyes begin to hurt.My mother is tied to a chair, her face pale and frightened. There is a bruise on her forehead, and her eyes look swollen from crying.“Very well.”My mother begins shaking her head.“Luna, don't listen to him.”The man turns toward her.“Quiet.”She immediately falls silent.I feel rage rising inside me.“Don't speak to her like that!”He turns back to me.“You have courage. Your father had courage too. Unfortunately, courage did not save him.”I take a step forward.“Did you kill my father?”The smile disappears from his face.“Your father made a mistake.”“What mistake?”“He believed that doing the right thing would protect him. He thought he could expose powerful people and walk away without consequences.”I stare at him.“You killed him because he discovered something about your business?”The man says nothing.His silence tells me enough to make my stomach twist.My mother begins to cry again.“I tried to warn him
The Betrayed Surrogate Wife's Revenge Chapter 18
I barely sleep that night.Every time I close my eyes, I hear my mother's voice.Your father did not die because of the accident. He was trying to protect you.Those words follow me everywhere. They sit heavily in my chest, making it difficult to breathe. I keep wondering what my father discovered, why he was afraid, and who wanted him dead.Most of all, I wonder what my mother was about to tell me before someone took the phone away from her.Who was she warning me against?Edward?Celine?Or Elliot?I turn my head toward the cot beside my bed. My son is sleeping peacefully, his tiny fingers curled around the edge of his blanket.I reach out and touch his cheek.Whatever happened to my father, I refuse to let the same thing happen to my child.I have to be stronger now. I cannot allow fear to control me, and I cannot keep running away from the people who have made my life miserable.Tomorrow, I will face Edward.I will look him in the eyes and ask him what he knows about my father's d
The Betrayed Surrogate Wife's Revenge Chapter 17
The police arrive twenty minutes after Elliot makes the call.By then, I have searched my mother's house twice, hoping that I somehow missed her the first time. I check every room, open every cupboard, and even look behind the curtains like a missing person could disappear into a small space.But my mother is gone.I stand in the middle of the sitting room, holding her gold bracelet so tightly that its edges press into my palm.A female police officer approaches me.“Madam, I need you to calm down so I can ask you a few questions.”“How am I supposed to calm down when my mother has disappeared?” I ask, struggling to control my voice. “Someone entered her house, destroyed everything, and took her away. What is there to be calm about?”The officer gives me a sympathetic look.“I understand that you are worried. We need to know exactly what happened before we can begin looking for her.”I tell her about the phone call, the strange message, and the sound of something breaking before the l
The Betrayed Surrogate Wife's Revenge Chapter 16
For several minutes, I cannot move.I sit on the edge of the bed with my phone in my hand, staring at the photograph of my father, Elliot, and Celine.My father looks younger in the picture. He is smiling, with one hand resting on Elliot's shoulder. Celine stands beside them, dressed in a white suit, her lips curved into a smile that now makes my skin crawl.How could they all have known one another?Why did nobody tell me?And why would someone claim that my father's death was not an accident?I look toward the door again.Elliot is still outside.“Luna, please open the door,” he says.I close my eyes.I want to believe him. A part of me still wants to run into his arms and ask him to tell me that everything is a misunderstanding. I want him to explain that the photograph means nothing and that the message is just another attempt to frighten me.But I know better than to trust words without proof.“Go away, Elliot.”“Not until you talk to me.”“I have nothing to say to you.”“You don
The Betrayed Surrogate Wife's Revenge Chapter 15
I stare at the photograph in my hands, unable to take my eyes away from the man standing behind me.The dark cap covers most of his face, but I know that uniform. I have seen it several times whenever Edward attends important meetings or family events. The man wearing it is one of his private security guards.My stomach twists.“How long has he been following me?” I whisper.Elliot takes the photograph from me and studies it again. His face grows harder with every passing second.“I don’t know,” he answers. “But I intend to find out.”“What if Edward knows where I am?”“Then he already knows that I’m here.”I look at him sharply. “You say that as if it means nothing.”“It means something, Luna. But I’m not going to let fear make decisions for us.”I want to believe him. I really do. But fear is already crawling beneath my skin.I glance toward the bedroom where my baby is sleeping. He is so small and innocent. He has no idea that his father may be the same man trying to frighten his m
The Betrayed Surrogate Wife's Revenge Chapter 14
Luna’s POVThe doorbell rings again.I clutch my baby against my chest, staring at Elliot as he moves toward the window. His face has changed. The playful man who teased me earlier is gone, replaced by someone whose eyes are sharp and alert.“Elliot,” I whisper, “who is outside?”“I don't know yet.”“Could it be Edward?”He turns to look at me.“I won't rule him out, but don't assume anything until we know who it is.”How can I not assume it is Edward? The man has spent years making my life miserable, and now that I have finally started standing up for myself, strange things keep happening around me.First, someone attempts to rob me.Then I receive threatening messages.Now there is someone at my gate.My heart pounds so hard that I can hear it in my ears.“What should I do?” I ask.“Take the baby to the bedroom and lock the door. Keep your phone with you. I'm going to check the security camera.”I hesitate.“What if something happens to you?”Elliot pauses and looks at me. His expre
