LOGIN“You still don't get it, do you?” she said, shaking her head. “Think about it, Brianna. You've just been fired with little or no hopes of getting a new job because you're a what? Remind me again. Oh, a single mother. How long do you think the money Mr Yang gave to you would last for? How long do you think I'm going to continue giving you, huh? Think about it. The same Jason you're trying to protect right now would still blame you for bringing him into this world when you exhaust that money with you and there's nothing else to spend or no one to run to.” “So, what are you trying to insinuate?” I asked, raising a brow. “That I become a surrogate mother just because I'm in need of money? I'm only in need, Hayley. I'm not desperate to have it. Besides, let me remind you that I went through a Cesarean Section just to have Jason. I'm not going through that again.” *********************** Having lost her job, Brianna is left to drown in an ocean of confusion on what path to take next. But then, she's presented with an offer to be a surrogate mother for a hefty sum of money, and another from a strange man asking her to return home and take charge of her father's company. Would she choose to be a surrogate mother or return home to take over the company of a man whom she never got to meet her whole life?

Besides, how come you never told me you met with him already?” I dropped my gaze, as I realized he was with a disposable bag in his grip. I couldn't tell exactly what things were in the bag, but it did seem there a lot was in it.“No, it's not like that.” I said, pushing a strand of hair behind my hair, while trying to evade his gaze. “I just happened to know him.” “You just happened to know him?” she asked, narrowing her gaze at the words. “Really? You want me to believe that?” “Wait, is he the one that found Jason?” I asked, in a curious tone.“What do you think?” she said, shrugging a shoulder. “Although, I told him not to bother, but he insisted. However, I didn't take his words for it.” “Is he your son?” he asked.The words seemed to drag themselves from
Chapter 25.A NEW ME.Brianna's POV.“It is not like we met or something.” I said, rubbing the base of my neck.She made a face.“Look, I just saw him walk in front of me with some men following behind him.” I said, with a shrug. “Besides, if Milford hadn't said anything about it, then I wouldn't have known that I had a stepbrother. I would have thought he was just an employee there.” I just had to explain things to her because I knew what that look in her eyes meant. “Alright, but that doesn't answer my question.” she said. “When you saw him, what did he look like? Did he look like a friend, or a foe?” “I just told you that he walked in front of me with some men escorting him, how do you expect me to know if he's a friend or foe?” I asked, narrowing my gaze at the words. “I can't say.” “You don't get it, do you?” she asked. “We have to know if he's going to be on your side, or against you. If we can't tell from now, then it's going to be a problem when you eventually go over ther
Chapter 24.OLD LIFE.Brianna's POV.Hayley gasped, blinking her eyes in surprise as she glanced at the receipt for the phone I got. Yeah. I expected that much response from her. I could tell from her reaction that she was of the same opinion that the amount was too much for a phone. Trust me, if I showed that receipt to a good number of people, they'll say the same: it's too much for a phone. “I also tried convincing him to get one with a leaser amount.” I sighed, and my shoulders slumped. “But, he said that it wasn't possible to get one for that amount.” “What amount?” she asked, the surprise still on her face like a stain as she lifted her gaze to me.“For ten thousand dollars.” I said, with a shrug. “Rather than getting one this expensive, it would have been better to get one that less of an amount, and use the remaining money for other things. Or don't you think?” “Wait… what?” she made a face. “Are you kidding right now? A phone of ten thousand dollars? Is this some kind of
Chapter 23.ALL YOU HAVE TO DO.Brianna's POV.I fell silent for a moment. But that wasn't because I couldn't answer to his question. If he wanted me to, I could make a list of the things I needed, but I felt it was just too early to do that. Besides, if I had to discuss my needs with him, then not in front of the man whom I believed to be his assistant. I'd need the room with him alone. That aside, it was getting late already, and I had to return to Hayley's to know if she'd found Jason. “No, not really.” I said, with a brief smile. “However, if there is, I'll let you know.” “Alright then, please do.” he said, looking at his wristwatch. “I have to be somewhere right now. So, if you don't mind, I'll leave first.” “Alright, take care.” I said, as he began to walk towards the door. I watched him until he eventually exited his office. But then, I just had this weird feeling. It was as if he'd a lot going on with him, and needed some time to gather his thoughts. On the one hand, it
Chapter 18.HAVE SOME FAITH!Brianna's POV.“Is it ringing?” Hayley asked, in a curious tone. “It is, but he's not picking up.” I sighed, scratching my head as I paced back and forth in the room. “I don't know why.” “You might want to sit, Brianna.” she suggested. I cocked a brow, and she shrugg
Chapter 17.CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.Brianna's POV.Although I couldn't say if his words were true, but for someone who sells newspapers, I don't think there was any reason for him to lie to me. I mean, that would only ruin his business. Besides, it was right there: the image of JetFlex. Even though I'
Chapter 16.A FUTURE AT STAKE.Brianna's POV.I slowly righted myself from the couch and narrowed my gaze as I glanced at my cellphone which was on the table. From where I stood, I didn't notice anything wrong with it. Or perhaps, I just didn't want to believe that something had happened to it just
Chapter 15.THE RIGHT DECISION OR NOT?Brianna's POV.Hayley fell silent. Just by looking at her face, I could tell what thoughts were running through her mind at that particular time.“What? You don't want to?” I asked. “Even if you don't want to, he's been toying with your emotions, the least you
