The Surrogate Revenge CHAPTER 16: THREE WAYS TO STRIKE
HEATHER’S POVThe words remained hanging in the dining room after I said them, and for several seconds, none of my brothers responded. Dominic leaned back slowly in his chair, studying me with the same serious expression he used whenever he was assessing a threat. Jermaine's eyes moved between Dominic and me, while Ryder remained unusually quiet. Nobody looked shocked that I wanted revenge. What surprised them was how calmly I had said it.“What exactly do you mean by destroy?” Dominic finally asked, his voice steady. “I don't want Adrian killed,” I answered. “I don't want him arrested, and I don't want anyone warning him either. I want him to lose the life he thinks he's secured.” I paused before adding, “And I want Vivianne standing beside him when everything starts falling apart.”Jermaine leaned forward, resting his arms on the table. “What do you already know?” he asked. I told them about the corporate signing and everything Julian had helped me uncover. I explained how imp
The Surrogate Revenge CHAPTER 15 — THE FIRST STEP
HEATHER’S POVThe next morning, I woke to sunlight falling across my face. The curtains were already open, and Julian was standing beside the window with his hands in his pockets, looking completely comfortable for someone who wasn't even a member of this household. I stared at him for a few seconds before asking, “What are you doing here this early?”He turned toward me with an amused expression. “You used to sleep through everyone calling your name when we were children.” I frowned at him. “I don't remember that.” “I remember it,” he replied, and there was something so casual about the exchange that I almost forgot I had only met him properly yesterday. I shook my head, but a small laugh escaped me.“You're crazy,” I told him. He smiled. “You said that a lot too.” I rolled my eyes before trying to sit up. The movement reminded me immediately that my legs still weren't strong enough to do everything myself. Julian noticed and stepped toward the door. “I'll get someone to help y
The Surrogate Revenge CHAPTER 14 — THE GIRL HE NEVER STOPPED LOOKING FOR
JULIAN’S POVFor a moment, I couldn't speak. I had imagined finding Elara for eighteen years, but none of those moments had prepared me for seeing her alive. She was sitting only a few feet away from me, looking at me with a cautious expression, while I struggled to understand how the little girl I had spent years searching for had become this woman.I studied her face, searching for the features I remembered. Her eyes were the same, especially the way they narrowed when she was unsure about someone. Even the slight crease between her brows looked familiar. I had carried those memories for so long that seeing them again felt almost unreal. I looked away briefly, trying to steady myself before facing her again.“I don't remember you,” she said quietly. I had already been warned about that, but hearing it from her still hurt. I forced myself to nod. “I know,” I replied. She hesitated before adding, “And my name is Heather.” “You don't have to call yourself Elara because I do,” I told
The Surrogate Revenge CHAPTER 13 — THE ONE WHO REMEMBERED
HEATHER’S POVThe next morning, I finished breakfast in my room before the rehabilitation instructor arrived, and by then I was already tired of looking at the same walls. When she came in, she didn't waste time repeating everything the doctor had told me the day before. Instead, she helped me settle into the wheelchair and explained that today's session would focus on controlled movements, balance, and rebuilding the strength I had lost rather than trying to force my legs to do something they weren't ready to do. I listened without arguing, mostly because I had finally realized that fighting every instruction wasn't going to make me independent any faster.“Try shifting your weight slightly to the left,” she instructed as she positioned my hands against the chair. “Don't rush it. Hold yourself there for a few seconds, then slowly return to the center.”I followed her instructions, concentrating on keeping myself steady even though the movement made my arms and stomach muscles ache.
The Surrogate Revenge CHAPTER 12 — THE FIRST MOVE
HEATHER’S POVThe doctor waited until the door closed behind the brothers before pulling a chair closer to the bed. He checked my back first, then my hips and legs, asking where I felt pain and whether anything felt different from before the fall. I answered each question honestly, watching his face as he worked.“You haven't caused a serious new injury,” he finally explained as he put his medical bag aside. “The fall hurt you, but I don't see anything that suggests you've made your condition worse.”Relief passed through me so quickly that I almost laughed. “Then I'm fine?”“You're stable,” he corrected as he gave me a look that made it clear he wasn't finished. “That doesn't mean you should keep trying to get out of bed by yourself. Your legs need time, and forcing them won't make them recover faster.”“I can't stay in this bed forever,” I argued as I pushed myself a little higher against the pillows. “I can't spend the rest of my life waiting for someone to carry me whenever I ne
The Surrogate Revenge Chapter 11
HEATHER’S POVI kept the folded paper hidden beneath my pillow long after I discovered it. I wanted to open it again, but I was too tired to deal with another strange piece of my life that didn't make sense. After everything that had happened, my head already felt like it was about to burst. Eventually, exhaustion won, and I drifted in and out of sleep for most of the night, waking now and then whenever I shifted and remembered that I still couldn't move my legs.By morning, my back was sore, my body felt heavy, and I was getting tired of lying in the same position. I looked around the room and noticed the call button sitting on the other side of the bedside table. It wasn't far, but it was far enough that I would have to ask someone to come and help me again. The thought made me sigh. Why does everything have to be so difficult now?I had never liked asking people for help, and being unable to do even the smallest things without someone else was starting to make me feel helpless.I p
