Mrs. Montgomery had just finished a long phone call with Rita Cage, and her face was glowing with excitement as she returned to the table.

"Well?" Mr. Montgomery asked impatiently. "What did she say?"

"It's official," Mrs. Montgomery announced, barely able to contain her joy. "The engagement between Eva and Damien Cage has been approved by the family matriarch. We're invited to dinner next weekend to make it formal."

The room erupted in cheers. Mr. Montgomery stood up and raised his wine glass.

The way Devon had defended Clara tonight. The way he had looked at her when he said she was the mother of his children.When Yvonne came out of the bathroom, she found Devon putting on his pyjama jacket, clearly getting ready to leave the room."Where are you going?" she asked, trying to keep her voice casual.Devon paused at the door, his hand on the handle.

    The silence that followed Devon's announcement was deafening. Everyone sat frozen at the dinner table, forks halfway to their mouths, eyes wide with shock. The Montgomery family looked like they had just been slapped.Mr. Montgomery was the first to recover. He slowly put down his fork and turned to Richard Cage, his voice tight with confusion and anger."Mr. Cage," he said, his words coming out slow and deliberate. "What does your son mean by that? How is some other woman carrying his child when he has a fiancée and isn't married yet?"Richard felt every eye at the table turn to him. He sighed deeply, how could he explain this mess? How could he explain the situation to the Montgomery’s."Well, you see..." Richard started, but Eva cut him off."Is Yvonne sterile?" Eva asked bluntly, her voice sharp and cutting through the tension like a knife."What!" Yvonne exclaimed, her face turning red with embarrassment and anger. "How dare you!

"And a good evening to you too, dear."From across the room, Damien watched Eva closely. He had to admit, she looked like someone who could handle herself. At first glance, she seemed like a fighter.

Everyone was being polite. Then she saw Yvonne. She didn't know her personally, but she had

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate   The Arrival

    The front door of the Cage mansion opened with a soft click as Clara, Elise, and Arielle stepped inside, their shopping bags rustling in their hands. Clara's eyes immediately started searching the grand foyer, looking for one person in particular. She didn't even realize she was doing it until she saw him.Devon was coming down the curved staircase, dressed in casual clothes, a simple white t-shirt and dark jeans that somehow made him look even more handsome than usual. His hair was slightly messy, like he had been running his hands through it, and when he saw the girls, a genuine smile spread across his face.Clara felt her heart skip a beat. She couldn't help but stare at him as he walked down the stairs, his movements confident and graceful. She was completely lost in watching him, her mouth slightly open in admiration."Clara," Arielle whispered beside her, trying not to laugh.

This was the fifth outfit she had tried on, and each time she looked at her reflection, she could almost see Devon standing behind her. In her mind, he was shaking his head at the previous choices, his eyes telling her they weren't quite right."Try the blue one," Elise called out from where she sat on the boutique's plush chair. "Trust me, it'll look amazing on you."Clara reached for the deep blue dress, slipping it on with careful movements. The fabric felt soft against her skin, and when she turned to face the mirror again, something felt different. In her imagination, Devon was smiling now, nodding his approval.
