**Kierra**

I stared at myself in the mirror and still couldn’t believe the woman before me. “Simone wasn’t lying when she said I’d look and feel like a million bucks,” I murmured, turning to the side to check out my ass.

The spa? Chef’s kiss. I’d never been pampered like that in my entire life, and it didn’t take much for the esthetician who serviced me to talk me into their monthly membership. I practically threw my debit card at the receptionist once we were finished. I received a facial that minimized my pores and left me glowing, a manicure and pedicure, and a deep-tissue massage. Afterward, we hit up Simone’s favorite hair salon. I hadn’t had my hair professionally done in a hot minute, and it showed when the stylist started clipping away at my dead and split ends. I was adventurous and told her to style my hair into a bob. I was nervous. I had long hair for as long as I could remember, but running behind four young children didn’t leave much time or energy for maintenance. It ha

  • The Cruel Millionaire's Surrogate   The Kierra Effect

    **Jonathan**“No, thank you. I’m actually here with my wife.”Her face morphed, showing her dissatisfaction with my revelation. “Are you referring to the woman you were with?”I tilted my head in confusion. “You saw me with someone and still approached so boldly? What is wrong with you?” The woman scoffed and stormed away.“Ah, let me guess. She saw me leave and swooped in to try and pull you?” Kierra laughed as she approached me with a glass of champagne.“How did you know?”“I was waiting for her to make her move. She’d been eyeing you all night.”“Oh, wow. I hadn’t noticed.”“Of course not. These sorts of things happened with Rory all the time. I call it the Kierra Effect.”“I’m intrigued…tell me more,” I said, accepting the flute from her.“Basically, there were women who felt that perhaps my partner was too good for me and thought they’d look better on his arm and could scoop him up with the bat of the lashes, a swing of the hips, and some sultry words. It never worked, and that

  • The Cruel Millionaire's Surrogate   Preparing for the Future

    **Kierra**“So, what do you think?”I blinked repeatedly after Anthony explained what he planned to do with my money. He even provided diagrams, but I was still lost in the sauce, thinking of Jonathan’s slip of the tongue.Man…just take my money.“It’s great. How much should I make the check out for?”“Whatever you’re comfortable with, but the more you have to play with, the more you stand to gain.”“How about $20,000.00?” I asked hesitantly.“That’s a good start.”“Do I make the check out directly to you, or….”“You’ll make that out to Powell Investments. I’ll write you a receipt.”Shrieking erupted from outside Anthony’s office, and the screams were followed by a boisterous “mine” and “gimme.”“Goddamnit,” Anthony growled, leaving his luxury office chair.“I’ll get—”“Don’t worry about it. It’s your weekend off.”Anthony opened the office door and whistled. “Nori Rene, let it go and come here.”“Toy, Daddy!” she protested.“Come here. You girls have been acting up since Daisy crosse

  • The Cruel Millionaire's Surrogate   Jonathan's Problem II

    **Kierra**I was curled up with a pillow, watching Lupin, when I heard the alarm system disengage. I rolled my eyes, picturing Jonathan tiptoeing up the stairs, hoping not to wake us. I waited a few minutes before padding to his bedroom. I was relieved to hear the shower running and planted myself at the foot of the bed. Ten minutes passed before Jonathan left the bathroom, bringing his warm, masculine scent and the billowing steam from the shower with him.I may or may not have licked my bottom lip when he walked past me in nothing but a towel. The print was printing! Stop it, Kierra. This man looks like Freddy Krueger had a go at him. Focus!“I didn’t expect you to be awake,” he mumbled.“I gathered that when you stayed out late, you were skulking around in the dark.”“Skulking?” he snorted, pulling pajama pants out of the dresser. “Hardly.”Sir, you need to go right back in that dresser and get some boxers because I’m weak!“Let me get a good look at you,” I sighed, leaving the bed

  • The Cruel Millionaire's Surrogate   Jonathan's Problem

    **Kierra**“Where the heck is this man?” I asked myself, dialing his number once again. It was past 9:00 in the evening, and I hadn’t heard from him besides a few texts here and there. He said he’d be home for dinner, and then nothing.I hope he’s okay and not blowing me off.I rolled my eyes when the call went to voicemail. Before I could hang up, an incoming call from Simone came through.“Hello?”“Hey, girl. I’m calling to let you know that your man is here, and he’s afraid to come home.”“What?” I asked, brows knitting together in confusion. “Whose man?”Simone laughed. “Stop playing. Your man,” she insisted.“What does he look like?”“Tall, blonde, green eyes, a little on the lean side—that man.”“It’s not ringing a—”“Eliza beat this man up,” Simone interjected. The remote dropped out of my hand onto the floor, clattering loudly.“What?” I whispered.“They were checking the house out when Eliza came home, and all hell broke loose. Anthony recorded the whole thing, and Jonathan p

  • The Cruel Millionaire's Surrogate   Million-Dollar Trap House

    **Jonathan**“Where the hell is all the furniture?” Anthony asked in disbelief after I let us into the house.“Hell if I know. Eliza probably pawned it off.”“Forgive me for saying this, but your ex lives in a million-dollar trap house.”I ignored Anthony and started taking pictures of the residence and surveying any damage. I entered the kitchen and rolled my eyes. “Sorry, Anthony, but you’ll have to buy new appliances.”“I expect nothing less from a crack fiend!” Anthony shouted from the living room. “I bet the children don’t have beds upstairs.”The sad part about it is that he’s probably right.We finished touring the house half an hour later, and as Anthony predicted, the kids didn’t even have beds, and there was only a mattress in Eliza’s bedroom.I hope she’s in the process of moving out and not living like this.“What do you think?”“I’m knocking off twenty grand for the appliances,” Anthony informed.“Anthony, if you wanted to fuck me up the ass, just skip the pleasantries an
