The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate A Quiet Storm
The morning sun was a soft, gentle light coming through the big windows. The house was quiet. Too quiet. A lazy kind of quiet that you only get on a Sunday morning after a very, very long night. The kind of night that leaves you feeling like a soft, floppy blanket. Lucia was still in bed, a little lump under the fancy comforter. And Clarisse was too. She was a little tired, her body feeling heavy and full of a deep, bone-weary tiredness. The birthday party had been a huge success. But it had taken so much out of her. Not just the planning, but all the feelings, all the looks, all the things she had tried to ignore. She was so happy it was over. She just wanted to sleep forever.Ian got up from the bed, his movements quiet and careful so he wouldn’t wake her. He slipped into his workout clothes and went for his morning run. He loved running. It cleared his head. It was a time for him to think, to put things in order. He ran around the huge estate, the cool morning air hi
The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate Ian’s Worry
The music wrapped around them, a soft, slow melody that made the rest of the room disappear. For Devon, it felt like there was no one there other than he and Clarisse. It was a perfect, silent moment. The lights, the loud music from before, the hundreds of people all of it faded away. It felt like he was living the dream, his dream, with the woman whom he loves. It felt so surreal. Years ago, she was dead. It was impossible to even think she was alive, and here she is, standing right here in front of him. So close. So real.Despite the fact that she may have amnesia, which would explain her not remembering him or their past, he now knew she was the one. The DNA test was the proof he needed. That for him was the most important thing ever to have happened. He held her hand, his thumb rubbing over her skin. He didn’t want to let go. He never wanted this moment to end.Clarisse, on the other hand, was lost in her own world. She danced with him, but her mind was in a
The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate The Dance of Truth
The event went on, and the hall was filled with the sounds of laughter and music. The kids were running around, their faces painted, their eyes bright with joy. Hope and Lucia were the center of attention, of course, and they loved every minute of it. They danced with their friends, played games, and ate all the snacks. The rest of the family, the Cages and the Thompsons, were all having fun at the party, mingling and catching up. But Devon’s attention had been on one person and one person only: Clarisse. He just couldn't take his eyes off of her. It was such a shocker for him to see her sitting there, right there, so close, but also so far away. He couldn't go up to her. He couldn't touch her or feel her. He had to stay away, to not ruin things or create a scene. The knowledge of the DNA test was buzzing in his brain. It was a happy, electric feeling, but also a frustrating one. He was so close to having her back, but so far away. He had to be patient, to wait for the right moment.J
The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate A Magical World and a Shocking Truth
After what felt like hours of getting the girls ready, they were finally done, and they looked absolutely beautiful. Hope was done at her place with the team Clarisse sent to get her ready and Lucia was also done at home with Clarisse and her team present there too to get them both ready. Clarisse had made sure they didn’t put on any makeup. She believed they were too young for that. Instead, she had them do a "face mask thingy," as they called it, applying soft, soothing face sheets to make their skin glow and pop. They laughed as they took selfies with the white masks on their faces, their eyes twinkling with happiness. Their hair was done, little braids and sparkling accessories woven into their dark locks. Everything was perfect. They were ready to party.At the Cage mansion, everyone was ready as well. They were all dressed up in their party best, the family looking elegant and sophisticated with their clothes aligning to the Mystic theme. They headed out to their cars and were o
The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate Devon’s Sudden Coldness
Devon felt so bad. The world had gone quiet, and all he could hear was the frantic, painful thud of his own heart. All these years, he had made peace with the fact that the love of his life was dead. He had mourned her. He had moved on as best he could. He had built a life, a family even though he wasn’t quite happy with the life he built. But then, Clarisse had come into his world, and she had felt like a second chance, a miracle. He had hoped against hope that she was his Clara, and that hope had just been shattered into a million tiny, painful pieces by the news of the DNA test.He got up from his office chair. He couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t think. The papers on his desk were just a blur. He just couldn’t concentrate as he needed to be away from all his emotions, from the suffocating air of the office. He left the office, his movements clumsy and a little frantic. Elliot called out to him, but Devon didn’t respond. He didn’t even hear him. He was a million miles away, lost in a d
