Evelyn’s POV

The mansion was somehow quiet.

Evelyn sat on the edge of her bed, her hands twisted in the sheets, staring at her phone on the nightstand as if it might ring on its own. It didn’t. It sat there in perfect stillness, mocking her hesitation. She had told herself a dozen times she wouldn’t call, that she could handle this alone, but the pressure inside her chest was too much.

The doctor’s words still echoed in her mind, Pregnant. The confirmation had been like a thunderclap. She was carrying Damian Blackwood’s child. The Blackwood heir.

She should have been relieved. She should have been proud, even. The contract had found its success, and her debts were no longer the rope around her throat, and soon she'd be free. But pride wasn’t what filled her when she lay awake at night. It wasn’t relief that made her chest ache until it hurt to breathe.

It was him.

Damian.

The way he had looked at her sometimes when he thought she wasn’t watching. The way his ha

  • The Billionaire's Virgin Surrogate   Chapter 46 – Whispers of Betrayal

    Evelyn’s POVEvelyn sat at the edge of her bed, her knees drawn up, arms wrapped tight around herself. The late afternoon light entered through the tall windows, painting the room in gold, but it brought her no comfort.For hours, she had tried to distract herself — folding laundry that had already been done, rereading the same page of a book without seeing the words, even pacing the long corridor outside her room. But nothing worked. The stillness pressed in from every corner, suffocating her, as though the house itself was waiting for her to break.Her mind kept circling back to Carmen. To the way her friend’s voice had been both teasing and serious when she’d said: Of course you’re falling for him. You’re living in his house, carrying his child. Don’t lie to yourself.Evelyn pressed her face into her knees. She hadn’t wanted to admit it, not even to herself. But once the words were out, once Carmen had proved her feelings out loud, they had settled into her

  • The Billionaire's Virgin Surrogate   Chapter 45 - Weaving Lies

    Vanessa’s POVVanessa had never been a patient woman.Patience was for the powerless. Patience was for women who waited in line, who accepted scraps, who lived in the shadows of men. That wasn’t her. Not anymore.She had clawed her way up from nothing, cut her teeth on betrayal and broken promises, learned the hard way that if you wanted something in this world, you didn’t wait for it to come to you. You reached out and took it.And she wasn’t about to let Evelyn Carter take what was hers.The morning sun streamed across her apartment, gilding the marble counters and the gleaming glass table where her laptop sat open. The screen showed the latest headlines, her name printed in bold across gossip columns. Vanessa Hart Glows at Society Gala — Rumors of Blackwood Heir Swirl.Her lips curled as she sipped her coffee. She looked perfect in those photos. Poised, radiant, hand resting on her stomach just so. A picture of elegance, of expectation.The world already beli

  • The Billionaire's Virgin Surrogate   Chapter 43 – The Confrontation

    Damian’s POVThe suite smelled faintly of orchids and expensive perfume, but Damian only registered it as another weapon Vanessa had chosen for tonight. Everything she did was calculated, the colourful lighting, the scent, the dress that shimmered like molten silver against her skin.She was sitting when he arrived, legs crossed elegantly, a crystal glass of wine poised between her fingers as if she’d been rehearsing the role of the perfect temptress.Damian didn’t slow down. He strode into the room, his presence cutting through the carefully arranged atmosphere like a blade. “You wanted to see me,” he said flatly, not bothering to sit.Vanessa’s lips curved, slow and deliberate. “You came. That’s all that matters.” She tilted her head, her dark hair spilling over one shoulder. “I was starting to think you were hiding from me.”Damian’s jaw tightened, but his voice remained calm. “You’ve made enough noise that hiding is impossible. The entire city thinks you’r

  • The Billionaire's Virgin Surrogate   Chapter 42 - Pressure Mounts

    Evelyn’s POVThe morning sun shone across the Blackwood estate in golden stripes, reflecting against the tall windows, but it felt harsh to Evelyn. Too sharp, too bright. She sat at the long breakfast table, staring at the spread the staff had laid out, steaming hot croissants, a silver pot of coffee, bowls of fresh fruit, and felt no hunger.Her stomach growled instead.The neatly folded newspaper lay directly in front of her, and though she’d tried to ignore it when the butler placed it down on the table quietly , the bold black headline drew her attention. “Vanessa Hart Flaunts Blackwood Heir?”Evelyn’s eyes lowered to the glossy photo beneath the headline. Vanessa, radiant in a fitted emerald dress, her hand placed dramatically against her stomach, lips painted a shade of red. She posed like royalty, as if the cameras were her court, her kingdom.A slow nausea worked its way through Evelyn’s body. She had told herself that Vanessa was lying, that all of it w

  • The Billionaire's Virgin Surrogate   Chapter 41 - Breaking the Mask

    Damian's POV “I don’t want anyone else near you. Not now. Not ever.”They hung in the air, heavier than the silence that had filled Evelyn’s room moments before. Damian stood at the edge of her bed, his fists clenched at his sides, watching her eyes widen at the confession. He hadn’t meant to say it. He never lost control of his words. Not in the boardroom. Not in his father’s presence. Not with women.But Evelyn wasn’t like anyone else.Her lips parted slightly, but no sound came. Her hand was pressed against the blanket over her stomach as though protecting the child already growing inside her. His child.Damian’s gaze followed that hand, and something hot and primal twisted in his chest. Possession. Fear. Desire. All tangled into one dangerous rope threatening to strangle him.He took a step closer, then stopped himself. Too close and he’d lose more than words. He’d lose the iron grip he’d built his entire life upon.Her voice, when it finally came,
