The afternoon sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the apartment, casting long shadows across the marble floors. Clara sat on the balcony, her legs tucked under her as she turned the pages of her novel. The gentle breeze played with her hair, and for a moment, she looked completely at peace. She'd just returned from her shopping trip downtown. The sound of someone clearing their throat made her look up from her book.

Devon stood there, leaning against the doorframe, his suit jacket slung over his arm. His white shirt was slightly wrinkled, his tie loosened - he looked like he'd had a long day at the office.

"Devon!" Clara gasped, startled. She tried to stand up quickly, but her center of gravity had shifted with her growing belly. She stumbled, her book falling to the ground.

In two quick strides, Devon was beside her, his strong arms catching her before she could fall. For a moment, they were frozen like that - her hands pressed against his chest, his arms wrapped aro

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate   The Morning After

    The kiss was so intense that Clara felt like the whole world had stopped spinning. Her hands were wrapped around Devon's head, and his hands were gentle on her cheeks. The stars above them seemed to shine brighter as they stood there under the night sky.Slowly, they both stood up, still holding each other. Devon looked into her eyes, and Clara could see something different there. Something she had never seen before. It was like all his walls had come down, just for her.He pulled her in for another kiss, and this one was even deeper than the first. Clara felt her heart racing as his lips moved against hers. Now, standing in front of each other, Devon pulled her in again, kissing her once more this time deeper, rougher. Their breaths mixed as they kissed like two people who had been starving for each other.Suddenly, Devon pulled back a little, his breath hot against her skin. His hands moved slowly, tugging down her sleeveless nightgown from her shoulders. Clar

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate   Under the Stars

    Devon walked slowly with Clara, his hand gently guiding her up the stairs. She could feel his fingers brush against hers as he took the things she was carrying."Where are we going?" she asked, her voice soft in the quiet evening."You'll see," he said, not looking back at her. "Trust me."They reached the rooftop, and Clara gasped. The night sky stretched out above them like a dark blanket covered in tiny diamonds. The stars were so bright up here, away from all the city lights below. She had never seen anything like it."Oh my god," she whispered. "This is beautiful."Devon watched her face light up as she looked around. There was a big comfortable couch set up on one side of the rooftop, with soft cushions and a small table beside it. He had planned this."Come, sit," he said, placing the things they brought on the small table between them.Clara sat down on the couch, still looking up at the stars. "How did you know I would love t

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate   Midnight Conversations

    Clara was sitting in the cozy living room with Elise and Aileen after dinner talking about her day and how she was settling into the mansion. The three women had been chatting for about a while, sharing stories and getting to know each other better."I'm really glad you're here, Clara," Elise said, curling up on the sofa. "It's nice having another woman around who's close to my age.""Me too," Aileen added. "The house feels more lively now."Clara smiled warmly. "Thank you both. I was so nervous about coming here, but everyone has been so welcoming."They were laughing about something Aileen had said when they heard footsteps approaching. All three women turned to see Devon walking into the room, looking a bit hesitant."Oh, hey Devon," Elise said with a knowing smile. "What brings you here?"Devon glanced around the room, his eyes settling on Clara. "I was just... I would like to talk to Clara for a bit. If that's okay."Elise and Ai

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate   Hidden Tensions

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate   The Price of Pride

    James walked into Yvonne's office building like a man on a mission. His face was still red with anger from the morning's fight with Clara. The security guard barely looked up as he stormed past the reception desk and straight to the elevator.When he burst through Yvonne's office door without knocking, she looked up from her computer with sharp eyes. "What the hell are you doing here?" she snapped. "I told you never to come to my workplace. People might see you."But James wasn't listening to her scolding. He grabbed her waist and pulled her close, his grip tight and desperate. The sudden contact made her go quiet, and she could feel the tension radiating from his body."Something's wrong with you," she said, studying his face. "What happened?"

    The evening air felt heavy as everyone prepared to leave the grand event. Devon's mind was racing with thoughts of Clara, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he needed to talk to her. "I'll take Clara home," Devon announced, his voice cutting through the chatter of goodbyes.But Nana was quicker than he expected. Her weathered face broke into a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "Oh, how about you take Yvonne home instead, dear?" Her tone was sweet, but Devon caught the steel underneath it.Yvonne stepped forward, nodding eagerly. "My driver left already, and it'll be too late by the time he comes back to get me."Devon felt his jaw clench. He wanted to argue, wanted to insist, but Nana's knowing look stopped him cold. "Relax, my dear," she said, her voice soft but firm. "You trusted the driver you assigned to bring Clara here tonight. Trust them to take her home safely too."He had no choice but to nod, forcing a smile that felt like sandpaper on
