The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 43
Chapter 43 Evren's POV “Hello, Liora, hello, brother. So good to see you came to support my baby mama." The fool chuckles as though he just cracked the funniest joke ever. We don't respond. But that doesn't mean he'll stop. Ronan is always going to be Ronan. “Liora, are you ready for this? You know all of this can be avoided if you just let me into my daughter's life, right?" He side-eyes her with his smirk still etched on his lips. Normally, I know Ronan talking to Liora will make her angry, but the Liora standing beside me is far different from the sassy woman I've grown to admire. Instead, if anything, she is glaring daggers at him, her hand shivering tightly by her side, unmistakable tears glinting in her eyes. She looks shaken up pretty bad. "Ah, cat got your tongue, baby? You should say something. We can stop all of this now, even before the proceedings start. Don't tell me you want the entire world to know your dirty little secret." She flinches. He chuckles. My brows
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 42
Chapter 42Liora's POVRonan Callistar doesn't know when to give up, does he? How I ever managed to get entangled with a demon like him without realizing still amazes me. But that's just life.We tend to get caught up with those people whom we will look back on one day and ask ourselves, What was I thinking? Was I that desperate? Or what blinded my eyes that I couldn't see?Yeah, people like him are fond of hiding their real game till they have broken and ruined the lives of their victims. That's when they show it. And then we are left with an endless river of tears.I stopped crying for Ronan the day I went into labor with Selina. That was the last chance I had given him to take me and his baby back. I would have forgiven him.The memories flash in my mind before I can stop them.Without Aunt Orianna's knowledge, I sneaked to his house, watching from a taxi for when his car would be about to go out of the gate. They had a college party that evening—another party like the one where my
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 41
Chapter 41Evren's POVThe boldness of this woman amazes me more than I care to admit.Did she really just say that?The car swerves slightly off the road before the driver—who is already jobless after staring at my woman—is able to regain control of the wheel.He is shocked too, I guess.I had expected a sassy comeback from those plump lips. Or a deadly glare before she'd tell me not to control what she does with her eyes, which I had to admit, was sexy.But no, she said she wants to eat me.When I noticed her biting her lips while staring at my chest, I mentally thanked Levi for picking out this outfit for the date today. Maybe I'll finally consider giving him that raise.Eat me? Now, that's interesting. Is it the cannibalistic eating or the vixen’s eating? Knowing Liora, the former can be very possible.I send a quick text to my head of security, just as my car approaches the mansion. I had planned to take her home so she'd rest after a stressful day, but I can't pass up the opport
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 40
Chapter 40Liora's POV“No, Evren. I can't take this. We agreed on what I'll benefit from our arrangement. This wasn't a part of the plan.” Despite saying this outwardly, I can't take my eyes off the buildings before me.My mind goes back to the thoughts I had a while back about what kind of building I'd like to put here. Arianna had begun working on it already, telling me she knows one day I'll achieve my dream and either get this place for Aunt, or buy another piece of land.Now Evren is doing it for me at no cost? Or maybe, there's something for him to gain from this. Yes! That's it.Squinting my eyes, I turn to the man whose hand is placed in his pocket, his eyes trained on me without blinking. For a second, I'm unable to say a word as my cheeks redden.There is a certain intensity in his gaze that doesn't waver even for a second, despite me catching him staring at me. Goosebumps erupt on my skin–not out of fear, but out of desire.A desire I don't want to deny so badly, but it is
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 39
39Liora's POV“She's six.Six years old.Tell me how she comes up with something like that if she wasn't influenced, Evren. You're in on this.”He huffs, running a hand through his hair. “I am not in on this. You're very correct, she was indeed influenced. By your best friend and my brother. Not me.”He seems to be telling me the truth. But no. This is like something someone so controlling would do. Marek is a sweetheart. He won't send me out with his annoying younger brother. Ariana, on the other hand, had to be the one who invented the idea.I blame myself. If I hadn't been too trusting. If I hadn't been anticipating such a moment with Evren, I wouldn't have walked straight into this trap.But why am I complaining? Maybe because I know the closer I get to him, the more my heart also goes towards its ruin. And I can't let that happen.“If you're saying the truth, which I know you aren't, why didn't you just cancel the date?”We are currently in his car, heading towards the restauran
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 38
Chapter 38Liora's POVBy the time I'm emerging from the bathroom, Arianna is the only one left in my room, lying comfortably on the sofa and manipulating her phone.She raises her head when she sees me, then wiggles her brows. I let out a sigh and pick up my clutch, planning to ignore her.Mission impossible!“Whoever thought you’d be going out on dates with baby daddy so soon? You're just a month in, girl. Damn, you move fast.”I bite back the urge to knock her on the head. Can't she see I have no option? “Ari, I can't refuse going out with him. I'm doing this for Selina.”“Yes, yes, for Selina. Totally. You, who used to tell the same Selina you had urgent work to do sometimes when she wanted to go to the park. Girl, you could still say no now. I'm sure she'd understand if you lied about being unwell.”Having nothing else to say, I keep quiet. She's right. I hate going out. But for some reason, knowing Evren will be there too makes me change my mind without a second thought. But of
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 37
Chapter 37 Liora's POV Evren Valesca could be anything to me from what I'd read in magazines, watched on gossip shows, and seen for myself, but a clingy man was way down the list. These past two days since he left the hospital, which I still don't know why he wasn't admitted, he hasn't left my side for more than three hours at a time. First, he went to his office, and less than an hour later, walked back in with his suitcase and Levi following him with a sheet-ton of folders. They entered his study, and an hour later, he came out to meet me where I sat in the living room watching TV. After making sure I had eaten, he went right back in and came back an hour later. Since then, he has been hanging around my side, even to the point of cuddling with me in bed. It's not like I'm complaining. It's what I've always wanted, right? And he has the sweetest smell and... the most beautiful body a woman could want. But his actions are still strange. And the stubborn man won't talk to me. “B
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 36
Chapter 36Evren's POVOh, that's why he's here? I thought it'd be for the other thing I'd done. Guess that's still to be a surprise to him.“Tada. Ronan, how did you like my surprise? Was it as unexpected as I imagined?” I wink, knowing my every action is infuriating him more.“You bastard!” He roars, skipping towards me with a tightened fist. I don't move, but before his hand can make any form of contact with my face, he's held back by my bodyguards.They came in as soon as my receptionist left. Ronan is still a threat after all.“Let me go or you'll regret it!” The idiot still tries to fight. He should know by now, there's nothing he can do to me in my office.“Grandmother won't be pleased to find out her favorite Callistar son is acting like this in the public eye, Ronan. Have you forgotten you're supposed to put on the best grandson image? Although we all know what a cunning fool you are.”He finally shrugs himself free and turns towards the door. Once he gets there, he casts one
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 35
35 Evren's POV “Wait... you're mad that I touched her? I only held her waist briefly and she's my sister-in-law!” Marek shouts, running a hand through his hair while staring wide-eyed at me. “And she's my woman,” I respond without blinking. “Tell me something, Marek. Will you allow me touch Arianna in the way you held my woman?” I'm met with a glare and his glass being slammed against the counter. “What the hell are you talking about? Why won't I allow that? It's not like I care about her or anything. You can do whatever you please and I'll—” “Tsk tsk tsk, brother. I asked a yes or no question. Why the fuss?” I smirk, watching as his jaw tightens with frustration as he realizes that I've caught onto him. “But since you don't care about her, I'll just tell Levi to shoot his shot. You know he has a crush on her. They'd look so good together. Levi and Arianna sitting in a tree, k-i-s—” “If you dare finish that sentence, I'll murder you,” Marek growls, breaking the glass he holds w
