Louisa's point of view

I slept all through the night, passing out somewhere around what... the fourth round?

My body throbbed, a constant reminder of everything that had gone down last night—that I had actually slept with Damien. And not just in my head.

I couldn't help the small, foolish smile that lifted my lips at the thought. A few weeks ago, I was sure I hated him to the core.

Now, I was completely dazed by him.

I woke up in my own bed, meaning Damien must have carried me there after he w

  • The Perfect Match; Billionaire's Surrogate Mother    Chapter 126

    Liam & ScarlettScarlettTuesday mornings were usually my favourite.There was something comforting about knowing exactly what I needed to do, when I needed to do it, and how much time I had to get everything done.Today, however, I was running late.Not because I'd overslept. Not because I'd forgotten my books. And certainly not because I hadn't prepared for school.My younger brother had misplaced his mathematics textbook, and somehow, that had become my problem.By the time I arrived at school, the first bell had already rung.I hurried towards my classroom, adjusting the strap of my backpack."Scarlett!"I turned.Victoria was walking towards me, holding two notebooks against her chest."Where have you been?""Home. Apparently, my brother's inability to organise his life is a family emergency."She laughed."Come on. We're about to start."We walked into the classroom together.Liam was already seated, his attention fixed on his phone. Marcus sat beside him, saying something that

    Liam & ScarlettLiamI was beginning to suspect Scarlett Johansson enjoyed making my life difficult.It was the only reasonable explanation for the fact that she'd sent me three separate messages before eight that morning, all concerning a project that wasn't due for another two months.The first contained a revised outline.The second was a list of suggested research sources.The third was a reminder that we had a meeting after school.I stared at the messages while walking into class.Scarlett: Good morning. I've made a few changes to the outline.Scarlett: Please review them before our meeting.Scarlett: And don't forget to bring your laptop.I typed a response.Liam: Good morning to you too, boss.Her reply came almost immediately.Scarlett: Good. You remembered your manners.I stared at the screen.Marcus, who had been watching over my shoulder, burst out laughing."What's so funny?""Nothing.""You're smiling."I immediately put my phone away."I am not.""Whatever you say."I d

    Liam's Point Of View By Wednesday, I'd come to three conclusions about Scarlett Johansson.One, she was annoyingly punctual whenever she wasn't arriving late.Two, she had absolutely no interest in making friends with the people who seemed desperate to befriend her.And three, she was entirely too comfortable disagreeing with people.Especially me.Not that we'd spoken much. We shared a few classes, occasionally exchanged notes when one of us missed something, and had somehow developed an unspoken agreement to pretend the other didn't exist.It was working perfectly.Until our English teacher decided to ruin it."Before we begin today's lesson, I have something for you."A collective groan went around the classroom.Mrs. Adeyemi ignored it."I've noticed that some of you have become rather comfortable working independently. Unfortunately, university won't always give you that luxury, so we're going to practise collaboration."Marcus leaned towards me."That sounds expensive."I didn'

    Liam's Point Of View I was beginning to think our class teacher had developed a personal interest in making my mornings unnecessarily complicated.It was barely eight thirty, and I was already regretting coming to school.Marcus, on the other hand, seemed unusually entertained."Apparently, she's from somewhere on the mainland," he said, scrolling through his phone.I didn't look up."Congratulations.""You're not curious?""No.""Not even a little?""Should I be?"He put his phone down."You're impossible.""Yet here you are."Before he could respond, our teacher walked into the classroom carrying a stack of papers."Settle down, everyone."The noise gradually died.I closed the book I'd been reading and leaned back in my chair."Unfortunately, Scarlett hasn't arrived yet. I expect her to join us shortly, so we'll get started without her."I barely registered the announcement.Then the door opened.And apparently, shortly meant twenty minutes later."Miss Johansson," our teacher sai

    20 YEARS LATERLiam's POVBeing a Morace came with certain advantages.Doors opened before I reached them. Teachers remembered my name without checking their registers, people were unusually polite, and invitations to events I had absolutely no interest in attending somehow found their way to our house.It also meant that practically everyone had an opinion about what I should become.The next Morace heir. The future chairman. The boy who would eventually take over one of the most influential business empires in the country.I was sixteen, and people had already planned the next thirty years of my life.Lovely.I came downstairs at seven fifteen, dressed in my school uniform, with my tie hanging loosely around my neck.My father was at the dining table, reading something on his tablet while drinking his coffee. Mum sat opposite him, scrolling through her phone."Morning," I greeted.Damien looked up."Morning, son. You're cutting it close."I glanced at the clock."Still have ten minu

    Louisa's point of viewHope was four months old the day we finally had the wedding party we'd put off through two trimesters and one entire newborn haze, and somehow the delay made it feel more earned than it would have otherwise.We held it in the backyard, string lights strung between the trees Damien had complained about trimming all spring, round tables scattered across grass still a little damp from an afternoon rain that had cleared just in time for sunset."You look beautiful," Nadia said, adjusting the strap of my dress, something simple and pale blue I'd chosen specifically because it didn't feel like the white, formal thing we'd skipped entirely at the courthouse. "How does it feel? Actually celebrating this time, instead of signing papers in a hallway.""Surreal." I glanced across the yard to where Damien stood with Hope balanced easily against his shoulder, deep in conversation with Sean, who kept making faces at her until she grabbed a fistful of his tie and refused to le
